One Hundred and Eight Dragons Who Drink Oil
The Mayne car production line has been built, and because it is the hinterland of Ireland Hill, the location is very safe, and it has become a production center for cars and aircraft. Precision parts are machined in Serris and then shipped here by train for assembly.
A Jeep has rolled off the production line, and it's not the first car Ireland Hill has built. In recent days, Ireland Hill has produced a total of more than 100 cars, most of which are directly handed over to the troops near Mayne for training.
Touching the car in front of him with his hand, the engineer in charge of the factory boasted and praised the products he had produced: "This car is really handsome! I like it when I look at it!"
"Yeah! I like it too." An officer stood by the car with his hands behind his back, unable to hide the smile on his face. This kind of car that can run as long as you drink oil is much more stable than a war horse. Sitting on it is not tiring at all, and you can even take a nap.
As long as there is a driver to operate, the rest of the passengers can rest on the road. Moreover, this kind of car can also drag heavy weapons and equipment, such as heavy machine guns that were originally dragged by carriages, and can be used for towing.
This is just the beginning. The second workshop is already assembling production trucks. The six-wheeled truck has a stronger towing capacity. It is said that it can tow larger artillery and can carry more soldiers.
After the gasoline engine could be mass-produced, this device became more popular than the steam engine. Because of its small size and light weight, many aspects have begun to demand such equipment. For example, the Army hopes to equip such small machines to generate electricity while equipping cars.
After all, whether a field phone or a radio needs a stable power source to support its work - relying on human power to generate electricity is still unstable, and now that there are better options, who needs a less-than-perfect option?
The engineer looked at the jeep and curiously pointed to the engine cover and asked, "However, why are huge golden eagles painted on all car engine covers?"
He felt that this obvious pattern was not conducive to air defense concealment. Such a bright golden eagle was facing the direction of the sky, as if it was beckoning the opponent to attack him.
The officer didn't think so much. He directly answered the most standard answer to the other party: "That's how His Majesty's design is drawn..."
Shrugging his shoulders, the engineer felt that he must be less foresight than His Majesty Chris, so he gave up his immature ideas, nodded and said, "Yes, His Majesty's aesthetics are really impeccable."
In fact, Chris painted this pattern not only for aesthetics, but also for his own considerations. In the future, he feels that his fighter unit can protect the safety of his front-line troops, so he believes that it is more important to prevent the Air Force from accidental injury.
Of course, this is only one consideration, and the other consideration is Chris's obsession with another world: he really likes the white five-pointed star design on the hood of the American Jeep, so he directly applies it. on his golden eagle national emblem.
"All the newly produced cars have been sent to the mainland?" The officer came here this time to pick up a new batch of produced cars. These cars are to be sent to Ferry City for use by Air Force pilots and their commanders.
"Yes, they were all sent to the suburbs to the newly established driving school." The engineer remembered those driver training courses, and felt that it would be more appropriate to use the knowledge magic ball to learn to drive: "The knowledge magic ball is still too precious, So training didn't give up either."
As he spoke, he walked out of the factory floor and said to the officers beside him: "The new car factory is built in Mayne. The largest production workshop is in Wallawar, and the foundation has been completed. The production of cars will only increase, so many You are surprised."
"Occupying Wallavo has brought us more resources." The officer sighed and followed the engineer on the path between the factories.
Different from the plains everywhere, the Dragon City and Naru, which are densely covered with fertile fields, are close to the mountains near Wallawa.
This mountain is very huge, in fact, it blocks all roads between Maine and the ferry, and Wallawar. It is bounded by Main and Ferry to the north, and Wallawar to the south.
At the southernmost end of this mountain, there is a vein of magic concentrate. Around this vein, there are a lot of iron and coal mines. With these resources, at least in terms of iron production, Ailan Hill is already sufficient.
After all, there is still compensation from the Arrant Empire, the treaty has been implemented, and carts of iron ingots are being transported into Farood, because to process these iron ingots, Farood also opened a factory to smelt metal and manufacture civilian products.
"It goes without saying that I heard that 000 professional workers were recruited, and 10,000 miners were replenished with prisoners... This is not a small matter." The engineer talked about the content of the last industrial department meeting, his face Full of proud expressions.
The coal mine production in Wallawa has doubled, and a coal-to-gasoline plant is being built there. I heard that it will be put into operation soon, but the oil quality is not so good, so it can only be used exclusively by the army.
The iron ore over there has more uses. I heard that a railway will be built from Wallawa through Naru to Seris. The team to explore the road conditions has been out for more than a month.
"Looking at the number of people, the scale over there is not smaller than the one here." The officer said happily when he heard the news of the development of the iron mine.
After all, the more iron ore is produced, the more weapons the army can get, so it can recruit more soldiers and form more new troops. And I heard that the navy has plans to build an experimental warship with an all-metal hull, powered by a steam engine...
Thinking of this, the officer involuntarily let out a sigh of relief - fortunately, the navy didn't snatch gasoline with itself, otherwise the oil production of this idiot would really not be enough.
Just as he was thinking about it, the engineer spoke again: "Of course, I heard that it is several times larger than the iron mine here... The coal mine is not small, and it is comparable to the earth fort."
The engineer also seemed to have been suffocated by the oil production for a long time. He remembered that the production of metals such as coal and iron was increasing rapidly, but the oil production was increasing slowly, and he was full of emotion: "It's really tangled, we are all like this. There is so much territory, but I can't find oil..."
The officer mentioned oil with a look of helplessness, but he still said comfortably: "Don't tell me, isn't there a small oil field in Hanhai? I heard that the production has increased, but it still tastes like a drop in the bucket."
The engineer laughed when he heard this statement, poured a pot of cold water on his mouth and said: "Ha, seeing more and more cars, the gasoline reserves are getting less and less, and the Air Force is applying for gasoline control. "
The implication is: what is the use of that little extra oil? There are so many planes and automobiles being produced every day, and the consumption of gasoline is increasing every day. Obviously, there is still not enough oil.
The army officer felt aggrieved when he mentioned this matter. They had great military exploits in the army, but in the end, they were always inferior in resource allocation: "The air force is really... I heard that the knowledge magic ball belongs to them, and now they even use gasoline. Are they all under their control?"
It's no wonder he didn't understand. In addition to the Command Magic Balls paid for by the Magic Empire's first purchase of rifles, the Holy Magic Empire had more than 6,000 Command Magic Balls, and the Air Force accounted for almost 1,500! This is not a small amount, because after all, not all magic orbs are supplied to the military.
The army only took about 2,500 in total, but the Air Force alone ate more than half of them. The navy was also welcome, and took 600 of them in one go, leaving only 400 left for the army...
This matter has made the Army very dissatisfied until now, because they also have new weapons in service, and also need a lot of knowledge magic balls to increase the number of professionals in the army. At the end of the meeting, everyone discussed that the 1,500 magic balls taken by the Air Force were not less, and the Army distributed another 100 magic balls to supply the Navy...
When I think about it, it makes me sad. When the army officers heard about this, they really didn't know whether to laugh or cry - the army itself clamored for a meeting to redistribute it, but in the end it lost another 100 magic balls. This is simply the real version. Shoot yourself in the foot.
Seeing the officer's face full of wry smiles, the engineer also remembered the Army's "bitter past", so he comforted: "Don't worry, I heard at the cabinet meeting that the air force's requirements were not passed... It seems that His Majesty has only given up on that. The order is to ensure the supply of training fuel for the Air Force."
As if to vent his dissatisfaction, the army officer, after regaining his senses, complained bitterly about the Air Force: "The planes equipped by the Air Force are simply dragons that drink oil!"
The engineer nodded in agreement and said, "Isn't it...that's a group of dragons drinking oil!"
But all of them know that no matter how much oil they drink, it is necessary to build the Air Force. After all, the anti-aircraft guns could not cover the entire Alan Hill, and the best and most economical way to deal with the dragon knights was those iron lumps flying in the sky.
As for the oil production capacity, I can only leave it to Your Majesty to worry about it. Anyway, I heard that His Majesty and a few engineers drew a device called a double donkey-head pumping unit, which increased the oil production of Hanhai Oilfield.
If it really doesn't work, let His Majesty draw a few more drawings.
For the Alan Hill Empire, there is no problem that cannot be solved by a design drawing. If there is, let His Majesty draw another one...
A humanoid self-propelled plotter, that's not a vain name...
