Chapter 281 Building the Skull Harbor

Not everyone is as stingy as Kane, and they always work hard in the early preparations.

Snake father Yi Ge is the kind of "enthusiasm" who looks similar and starts the project first, then uses it to attract attention, attract sponsorship, attract investment, and finally make the project a success.

In addition, the super-large rituals have the characteristics of being difficult to open and even more difficult to close.

The result is that Yi Ge's successor is weak, and the more he progresses to the final stage, the more he feels that he can't hold it anymore.

This caused the curtain of the sky to be pushed only 20 kilometers north of Iceland throughout March.

This is definitely a tortoise's speed, because the closer to the pole, the smaller the area of ​​the ring. In theory, it should be pushed faster and faster. Even if there is a problem similar to the pocket rope, the pocket folds are squeezed together, and it is more laborious to close it completely, it should not be so slow.

Yi Ge has been anxious to follow the ants on the hot pot, and the consumption is astronomical at the end of each day. Every extra day of consumption will reduce the final income.

However, the operation was more difficult than he expected, and the manpower was not as easy as he imagined. Like the Secret Key Club, which was thought to be sure, this time he refused to cooperate. The staff of the Secret Key Club said that they had no shortage of projects. He is also not interested in alien hell.

In this context, that fellow Sutton raised the price on the ground, saying that he has a god companion to participate, but the asking price is nothing short of robbery.

Ego didn't agree, it would rather leave a piece of sunshine at the North and South Poles in the end, and would not accept extortion. This is its big project, and it has devoted countless efforts to it. How can others get the most benefits? Absolutely not!

For Kane, the past month or so has been very fulfilling, or in other words, very tiring. In many cases, enrichment is actually a compliment for being tired.

Farming, farming again, is different from the medieval warhammer world, and also different from the dark HP world, this time there is no swarm, only robots.

The purely mechanical army has a fatal shortcoming, that is, the force level is too low, and it is easy to be enslaved by unreasonable extraordinary power.

Controlling the leader-level and commander-level AI like "Skynet" and "Red Queen", the mechanical army immediately became an institutional rebellion.

Even if this decapitation technique is not used, the extraordinary power that interferes with the operation of the intelligent core can still be like dealing with drone fleets in {Star Trek: Beyond the Stars}, a song that pulls the wind, wherever it passes, the mechanical army will be in chaos , to ashes.

But if there is divine power,

You can fight unreasonableness with unreasonableness, and make up for your shortcomings.

Therefore, in the dark HP world, he didn't foresee that he would turn on the road to becoming a god, but if he was farming in this world, it would be too low if he didn't take this advantage into account.

Another interesting aspect of farming in this world is that among the black technologies of humans in this world, there is a category of mechanical computers. And it has been developed to the extent that the mimic spider robot is used in actual labor.

This is tantamount to paving the way for the application of intelligent robots before silicon chips and integrated circuits.

As for petroleum, an important raw material of chemical industry, coal tar can be replaced to a certain extent.

And some other resources, you can try to mine from the sea.

Generally speaking, in this world, he has the basic conditions for low-key farming, decades of rapid development, and then crushing and pushing horizontally.

Kane can actually adapt to this kind of farming without dog blood and harassment. He can endure loneliness, and he doesn't need to be a real blue lantern ancient Buddha. He can also pretend to be a little bit occasionally, playing steampunk and doomsday survival.

Since it was decided to build a dungeon, there was no need to face Deep Winter City directly, but convenience was the highest criterion.

Therefore, the underground industrial base named "under the mountain" by Kane was chosen to be established between Port Hope and the iron ore mining area.

This is because he needs to obtain various resources from the ocean more than coal resources.

What's more, with 'Shanxia', how can there be no Skull Harbor.

The stems of Yamashita and Skull Harbor both come from the deepwater city of the Faerun continent in the Toril world of the DND universe.

Skull Harbor is an extraordinary material distribution center in Waterdeep City. Its main body is in the cave by the sea. It relies on the lifting device to lead to the deep underground, so as to reach the smuggling ships and the creatures in the dark area, such as drow, gray dwarves, etc. transaction.

And 'under the mountain' is the dungeon built by Helast? Black Robe. Hailast originally took his seven apprentices to build the mage tower under the mountain outside Deepwater City as a shelter.

Later, he used the summons to dig out a vast storage room under the mage tower, and unintentionally excavated the ruins of the dungeon of the ancient dwarf tribe Melegan.

Hylast wiped out the drow elves entrenched there, and it was irresistible. Relying on the dungeon, a grand labyrinth area with many traps was built. Over the years, countless explorers entered it, looking for the legendary As a result, he left his belongings and life there and became a part of the legendary treasure.

Kane wanted to build an underground harbor with underwater entrances and huge dungeons, so he thought of Skull Harbor and the mountain.

After more than a month of hard work, the infrastructure has been successfully completed. There are tunnels leading to the iron mine area, coal field, port, and Deep Winter City in the city below the mountain.

The first phase of system operation has also started.

The reason why it can be so fast is because of the facilities of Deep Winter City and the technological power of this world.

He first repaired the energy tower and used steam power to resume production in steelworks and manufacturing plants, and then produced robots in this world. Because enough steam cores were harvested on the way north, robots could be mass-produced.

These robots are considered to be the best coolies of this era. They work with brain-plugged puppets, and their efficiency is very good.

As for the brain-implanted puppets, those 20 good-looking men and women are definitely not enough, but there are enough dead people in Deep Winter City, and the sub-zero temperature has preserved the integrity of the corpses well.

In order to put it into production quickly, Kane didn't count the input of a little bit of extraordinary power, so hundreds of brain-implanted puppets were produced, which was also the reason why he felt tired. After all, there is a limit to multitasking, not to mention that he is just an incarnation, not a body.

The initial stage is not poor and white, which saves a lot of time. In addition, there are iron pillars as panacea equipment, and the construction of the production system becomes faster and faster.

When the first stage of production starts, those steam-powered robots are no longer needed. Kane designed and manufactured a more professional, raw material mining and rough processing, smelting and manufacturing, finishing and system improvement and scale expansion, which is almost a complete set.

In terms of energy, thermal power is used. Some of the technologies come from the StarCraft universe in the 26th century. The focus is on full combustion and efficient use of firepower. There is almost no smoke and waste heat. The efficiency is several times higher than that of the thermal power plants in the original world in the 21st century. .

Therefore, thermal power is not necessarily low-end, lacking in technology, low in efficiency, and nuclear power may not be more cost-effective than thermal power. After all, on the earth and all planets modeled on the earth, coal reserves and nuclear fuel reserves are far from the same level.

After a large number of steam-powered robots were liberated, Kane naturally used them to build Deep Winter City.

He was very dissatisfied with the original plan. Basically tear it down and rebuild. And disassembled very thoroughly.

Tens of millions of years of snow accumulation have formed an ice cap inside the crater, which is more than 100 meters thick.

Kane insisted on ordering to drill through and build facilities directly on the ground.

The magically modified energy tower still looks very steampunk, but the style is somewhat different from the past. In Kane's words: it has become more riveting.

The so-called multi-rivet steamed steel means more turrets, bigger is better, more is beautiful, hundreds of millions of turrets, billions of glory.

Riveting is rivet connection, car, pliers, riveting, electricity, welding, early industry, these five types of work are familiar to people. The rivet technique is as widely used as the tenon and tenon of carpenters in ancient times, but the tenon corresponds to wood, and the rivet corresponds to steel, which complements fire welding and electric welding.

Steaming, that is, steam power, external combustion engine, technology in place, can also be very sharp.

Adding points to the human technology tree is greatly affected by the environment. Like oil, it can be used as a fuel, with large reserves, relatively easy mining, and high cost performance. Therefore, equipment that uses it as fuel is more competitive. The technology tree is just like the internal combustion engine. Then deepen step by step.

However, in this world, coal reserves are huge, but oil and gas are relatively limited. The Middle East is rich in oil resources, while other regions are relatively poor.

Coal-fired equipment is more competitive. Of course, steampunk also has a reason for supernatural intervention, otherwise fuel enrichment or oil-based will be inevitable, after all, a crowded city cannot accommodate stupid coal-burning vehicles.

But if the fuel processing technology enters a new stage ahead of schedule, the situation will change again. Crude oil can be refined, why not coal?

Rigid refers to rigid suspension. It is cheap, low technical difficulty, and saves labor. Compared with other methods, it is more suitable for mass maintenance on the assembly line. The disadvantage is that it vibrates greatly and it is not easy to do precise strikes.

But we are AI faction, and the multi-turret is to play fire coverage and saturation strike. Is accuracy almost a problem?

As soon as the war started, 100,000 artillery pieces plowed the ground for the enemy, and then the sea of ​​tanks and the sea of ​​drones pressed up. This is multi-riveted steamed steel, rough and durable, with sharp edges and corners, and masculine demeanor.

It is precisely because of this that it is arranged like a pipe organ in this world with big pipes, small pipes, and medium and small pipes, and then turns around various arcs, which are as complicated as circuits, making people unclear, and supplemented by various circular arcs. The "round and metallic taste" formed by the thin, oval cylinder has a very different sensory difference.

Kane's steampunk style is sharp-edged, it doesn't need those arcs to reflect the old, and it doesn't need those messy and ambiguous, like a pile of irreproducible junk collages to show the style of experimental machines.

Standards, precision, rules, and order are what Kane wants to express.

In a way, it's not punk at all.

Because punk itself represents subversion, breaking the confinement of stereotypes and old traditions is the spirit that punk wants to express.

And patchwork aesthetics is also an important part of steampunk.

Also, nostalgia is also at the core of steampunk.

Therefore, the overall style should highlight the old, the unrepeatable uniqueness, and the strange and alternative beyond imagination. To the sharp edges and corners, such as Howl's moving castle, such as the Burrow of the Weasley family.

If you analyze it this way, the set Kane played is not steam punk, but the steam iron curtain.

From the perspective of life enlightenment, shaping of three views, past experience, current status and self-positioning in life, Kane may never be the one who can completely orient himself. , It's too nonsensical. Especially the kind of demeanor that would risk his life for the sake of flying, he really can't come.

Of course, although his self-righteous steampunk is actually a steam iron curtain, none of this hurts, as long as he is happy. Anyway, he is now like the kind of lonely child who can play with a set of Lego blocks happily for a day, and even plays the role he doesn't understand with his own voice.

Some people think, ah, this baby is so pitiful, this is a disease, and it needs to be cured.

But Kane thinks it's okay. Deep down, people are lonely. When life is strange and long, who can accompany you through the journey? Meeting and parting, everyone is just a passer-by in the life of the other.

He is also too lazy to introduce himself, to tell others about the bits and pieces of his life to find resonance, to bother to let others know him to get closer, and even his past is so numerous and bizarre that he feels unable to talk about it.

His earliest parents and relatives are gone, and many acquaintances have left him in their own ways. He feels that his heart is like a canvas that has been repeatedly graffitied. Too many overlapping color patterns eventually become Black, inclusive, deep, and incomprehensible black.

Of course, no one needs to understand it. No one is his spiritual support anymore. No matter whether the road ahead is lonely or busy, he can move forward firmly. If there are some small problems like this, what's the big deal?
