Chapter 278 I'm Not Modest

Lu Yao clicked on the prompt bar.

The screen jumps to a land boat road outside White Castle. This is where land boats transport various materials. White Castle has opened up a new road specifically to obtain the specific raw materials needed in a timely manner.

At this time, a strange-shaped carriage was driving on the boat road.

The horses at the front of the vehicle were replaced by a box-shaped metal device, with a copper horse head on top, a large iron box attached below, and huge iron wheels on both sides of the box.

The iron wheels drove the car body forward on the road, combining speed and stability, quickly leaving the boats on both sides behind.

It was Shang Xun who was driving the steam carriage.

Lu Yao opened the backstage encyclopedia.

…

[Fire Steam Carriage]: Shang Xun invented a vehicle based on the improvement of horse carriages and ground boats. It uses a fire steam furnace as a power source to drive the wheels to move quickly.

HP: 66/66

Mana: 0/0

Damage: 0

Defense: 1

Speed: 12

…

Initially, Shang Xun wanted to make the Earth Boat completely controllable, but the method of replacing the black element with a fire and steam furnace proved to be completely unfeasible.

All the structures and operations of the Earth Boat are inseparable from the core of the Black Element. The Wuji people rely on the Wu element and the earth boat to temporarily merge into one, which is something that outsiders cannot do.

Taking out the black element, the ground boat itself is an above-ground boat made of mud and stone.

And it has become an impossible task to drive such a heavy ship on the ground.

Shang Xun had to adjust his direction.

He aimed at the traditional vehicle of the Yao people, the horse-drawn carriage.

Compared with the boat, the structure of the carriage is more sophisticated and intuitive. Any Yao people can understand that horses pull the carriage forward.

After repeated attempts, Shang Xun decided to use a steam furnace to create a new iron horse. The iron horse does not tire, and can keep running as long as the coal and omnistone in the furnace can still burn and provide strength.

He consulted and asked for help from other scholars and craftsmen in White Castle to hammer out the iron horse.

The iron horse does not need a tail or four legs. It only needs a body and wheels on both sides to directly drive the car body forward. The driver sitting in the back only needs to use the steering rudder to control the direction.

Making a steam carriage is not difficult, the idea is more important, and this is what Shang Xun is good at. The real problem is after getting on the road.

First there's the wheel issue.

The smelting and mining techniques of Uda City are extremely sophisticated, covering almost half of the world, making the Yao people extremely rich in available metals. Unfortunately, manufacturing processes are not growing as fast.

Wooden or copper wheels are not hard enough and are prone to wear and chipping. This can also lead to an unstable center of gravity when the vehicle body is moving forward rapidly.

Furthermore, once the steam stove is ignited, it will continuously emit steam, and the wheels will keep turning, making it difficult to stop.

Shang Xun replaced the copper and wooden wheels with iron wheels, and also used the method of closing the furnace lid and pouring gravel to quickly extinguish the fire.

Then there's the issue of road conditions.

Fire and steam carriages can go on all roads that carriages can pass, but in heavy rain or muddy roads, fire and steam carriages are more likely to get stuck in the mire or slip and overturn because of their heavy body.

But overall, the steam carriage is still more widely used than the ground boat. As long as you know how to use a stove and a horse-drawn carriage, you can drive it, and you can do it without any hindrance even outside land and boat routes.

Shang Xun drove a steam carriage and took a boat to the Eastern Continent, driving all the way into the rose garden of the Valley of the Gods.

He kept his promise and drove back.

Hongye was extremely happy. She sat on the steam carriage and looked around, with curiosity written all over her face.

"You're so awesome, you built a car so quickly."

Shang Xun controlled the rudder: "I was lucky. I happened to see White Castle working on the [Brass Furnace Dragon]. I went over and got the reward so I could complete it."

Hongye asked curiously: "I heard Mr. Pinkman say that the Brass Furnace Dragon is the most incredible invention of the Yao people so far. What does it look like?"

"Like a squashed dragon."

"ah?"

"That's it. Although the appearance is not very good, the Brass Furnace Dragon is indeed an imitation dragon."

Shang Xun said: "It can cast spells directly. As long as you stand in the casting position and pass through the brass keel, you can trigger spells in dragon language. When I saw it on the spot, it was still very shocking."

"We did an experiment where we used a Brass Furnace Dragon to cast the highest-level [Endurance Curse] on a pony. It ran continuously in the White Castle for a whole day and was so excited. In the end we had to knock it unconscious. Get rid of it, otherwise it will have to run away and its body will be damaged. "

"You guys are amazing!"

"The most powerful ones are Lord Philus, as well as the prophets and those craftsmen. I didn't help much."

"Nonsense, I've heard it from Lord Pinkman. Lord Philus thinks very highly of you, saying that you have solved the most important problem in White Castle... They all say that you are a genius!"

"I'm not a genius, I just relied on luck to get it right."

"you are too humble!"

"I'm not being modest. I'm serious. I'm just from a poor family and have done a lot of work since I was a child to have enough food, so my mind is complicated and I often think wildly."

"If I want to say something, I have to thank Lord Yao. Without the blessing of the gods, I would have died on the street when I was a child. My father had just died at that time, and life was indeed quite difficult."

"It's not easy for you. I will take good care of you in the future!"

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, no matter how red leaves look at Shang Xun, how satisfied he is with his head and red heart.

Witnessed by Pinkman, Shang Xun and Hong Ye officially became husband and wife in the Rose Garden, and it was also the first pair of rose envoys and humans of the Yao clan to marry.

The only sad person was the little fish man.

Yu Gu finally came back from a relaxing break, and witnessed the couple driving around, and holding a rose wedding. It had to shed tears in the car throughout the whole process to bless... Then it applied for a long vacation.

Pinkman agreed again.

…

The birth of the steam carriage has a greater direct impact on the secular world than the brass furnace dragon.

For most people, things in the extraordinary realm such as magic are still too far away. What can be seen is still the most common food, clothing, housing and transportation. Having a better life in these aspects is the most important thing.

Shang Xun invented the steam carriage and readily announced all the structures and technologies in White Castle.

For him, the important thing is to make the steam carriage run and feel the feeling of flying. The salary of a lifelong scholar is already quite good, and there will be subsidies from White Castle in the future.

This invention was first bought by Yancheng at a high price. Merchants were extremely sensitive to the market and new products. They gathered craftsmen at the fastest speed and manufactured the first batch of steam carriages.

As the merchants judged, the steam carriages appeared on the road, causing a huge response and crazy pursuit.

The wealthy groups took the lead in purchasing steam carriages.

From then on, they no longer had to wait for the boats to go. They could drive directly to where they needed to go, which was faster and simpler than the boats. The most important thing was that they could enjoy the driving pleasure like the Wuji people.

The steam carriage was transformed into two models, one was a private carriage, and the other was a large car for transporting goods. A truck compartment could be added to the back, which could transport more goods faster. The two models had their own uses and quickly became the trading vehicles of merchants.

Several other cities finally realized it and introduced steam carriages one after another.

However, one step is slow, and no matter whether it is Yaocheng with the most complete technical reserves or Saniluo, which is low-key but rich, the steam carriages they make are always more expensive than Yancheng, which leads to Yancheng controlling most of the steam carriage market in disguise.

Merchants may not be good at inventions, but they are professional at controlling costs and reducing expenses.

Outside Yancheng, steam carriages with iron horse heads come and go, and the land boats in the land boat road are gradually eliminated, and they return to the underground and Wuda City.

Lu Yao has some feelings.

The exclusive abilities of the Wuji tribe are full of potential, but the development ability is not good. So far, they have not been able to further expand and develop new areas of the Wu element.

This is probably due to the conservative ethnic characteristics of the Wuji tribe in the solid state.

Fortunately, they have the omnipotent stone, and they can buy finished products with money, which can be regarded as stimulating consumption.

Lu Yao stood up and twisted his waist.

As he twisted, the game interface showed.

[Uluru discovered the black magic. ]

[The Yao tribe's underground exploration ability has been slightly improved. ]

Lu Yao immediately looked at the background.

…

[Black Magic]: The sediment formed after the decomposition of the corpse of a transcendent or a fire item. It is a high-concentration, high-density waxy grease that has evolved after absorbing a large number of dead plants and animals. It contains powerful but complex forces. It is extremely heavy and usually gathers and moves deep underground. A special creature.

…

Lu Yao read it several times.

From the description, Black Magic is somewhat similar to oil.

Is the oil in the Yao clan world alive?
