Chapter 595 Energy Reactor
The change of the Odin orc tribe, which in turn affected the merchants of the Byron Alliance, began to speed up the pace of transporting goods here, and carried out the final business carnival. When it will restart, no one knows.
Or three or two years, or ten or eight years, if the relationship is too tense, there may never be a chance to restart.
Broken Blood Fort launched the border exchange this time, taking advantage of the Western Odin Empire's plan to plot the Eastern Odin Empire. Even if they knew that they were making small moves behind them, they didn't have the energy to pay attention to them.
In the future, if you want to open a mutual market, it will not be a unilateral matter of the Blood Fortress. It also depends on the attitude of the Theodin Empire. If they are determined not to allow it, they only need to station a few large tribes on the border to block it. Those small and medium-sized tribes who are willing to trade can do it, and they can even turn into horse bandits and directly eat the goods they trade.
Another thing that makes people feel the breath of war is that the military supplies from the Yongye Army Commander are constantly transported to the Blood Fortress.
100,000 barrels of black powder, that is an out-and-out large order, from the moment the order was received, black powder barrels had already been loaded onto the trucks.
The black gunpowder actually dispatched from the Yong Ye Army is only 30,000 barrels. This is the inventory base produced to cope with the war. With the two big consumers of Broken Blood Castle and the Kingsley Family, the Yong Ye Army leader has finally dealt with a Seven seven eight eight.
For the remaining 70,000 barrels, the Yong Ye military leader plans to rent land near the Broken Blood Castle to open a new arsenal, and directly transport raw materials from various places for production now, exclusively for the Broken Blood Castle.
The black powder formula is no longer a secret, and there is no need to keep it secret like before. It is only a matter of time before Broken Blood Fort gets the black powder and builds its own arsenal to produce it. They only have a golden trading period of a few years. During this period, try to find ways to reduce costs. Maximizing profits is fundamental.
After a few years of money from Broken Blood Fort, they will sell all these arsenals to them.
Sean never expected that others would not develop, as long as he ensured that he would always run ahead of others.
Moreover, the arsenal of the Yongye Army basically does not produce primary models. This kind of product, which is regarded as a treasure in other territories, is already a semi-eliminated craft in the Yongye Army. It is mainly used to make fireworks and firecrackers.
Not only is its power not ideal, but the smoke generated during the explosion is too large, which seriously affects the sight of soldiers, especially after it is made into shells.
The Yong Ye military leader has found a new improved formula of black powder, and in a short time, other territories cannot follow suit, because the charcoal used in the improved black powder is not fired by ordinary techniques, but is made of fire. Calcined by the energy of attribute spells, this kind of charcoal particles contains a lot of fire elements.
The benefits of doing this are obvious. The combustion-supporting property of the fire element will make the black powder burn more thoroughly during the explosion. Not only will it emit less smoke, but the power of the explosion will naturally be greater. Although there is no way to compare with smokeless gunpowder, it is only As a shell, it is enough for a short time.
As for the research and development process of smokeless gunpowder, the formula has already been worked out, and it is the problem of raw materials that restricts the mass production of Yongye Junling.
Smokeless gunpowder can't directly extract materials from nature like black gunpowder, just mix them together.
In fact, black gunpowder to smokeless gunpowder is a purification process. Regardless of the material used, the chemical principle is basically the same-flammable and explosive materials burn in a short time to release energy.
If the combustion process is not thorough and there are too many residues in it, no matter how the raw materials used change, it is still in the category of black powder.
Black powder is not just a name, but a description of a class of the same product, at best the color of the smoke that comes out is different.
If it can burn completely and only a small amount of smoke is released, no matter what the material is, it can be called smokeless gunpowder.
Substances produced in nature rarely have natural substances with high purity.
If you want to use it in large quantities, you must artificially purify it.
And this purification process is more dependent on industrial systems, especially mass production.
After all, what is involved here is not only the power issue, but also a price-performance ratio.
If the manufacturing cost of smokeless gunpowder is too high, it is also not suitable for large-scale replacement of black gunpowder.
In a word, the current development model of Yongye Army Leader is too deformed, and the emergence of many things is limited by their current industrial system and advanced technology.
Before these things are done, many things can only exist in the form of theory.
The most important of these is industrial energy.
The original industrial energy sources of Yongye Army are wind power and water power.
A large number of windmills and water mills gave birth to the first step of their industrial system.
Windmills and water mills are capable of more than just grinding wheat.
The first batch of thousand-forged steel led by Yong Ye's army was hammered out with hammers driven by water power, using traditional blacksmith techniques.
Later, some large sewing machines were driven by hydraulic power.
This kind of industrial energy is only the most elementary application of the power of nature, not to mention the very low utilization rate, and it is also very unstable and very limited by the geographical environment.
The industrial plants that Yong Yejun led for several years are all located along the banks of the Jacob River.
With the return of the Jacob River, the leader of the Yongye army opened up the relationship with Angel Bena. With a stable source of coal mines, their industrial energy began to slowly shift to coal-fired steam boilers.
Coal-fired steam boilers belong to the most elementary steam boilers, and there are not too many technical problems. At the beginning, the main problem was the raw materials.
This kind of equipment is sealed and high-pressure. If the raw materials are unqualified, it is easy to fry the furnace if you are not careful. Its explosive power is no less than tens of kilograms of black powder.
The first batch of coal-fired steam boilers led by Yong Yejun were large and heavy, and they relied entirely on the quantity of materials to make up for the lack of quality.
This situation changed only after the steelmaking technology led by the Yong Ye army was on the right track, and with the assistance of black magic technology.
The size of the coal-fired steam boiler has become smaller, and the scope of application has become wider.
With the intervention of magic and black technology, the upper limit of the development of coal-fired steam boilers is obviously much higher than what Xiao En knew in his previous life.
Because both the energy application method and the energy utilization rate are much higher.
As mentioned earlier, the magical energy represents a kind of element movement trajectory. As long as there is energy conversion, there will be a large amount of magical energy gathered.
All energy transformations, in fact, can be thought of as a mass of sorcerous energy gathered together.
Give a very simple example.
Dry wood burns into a flame.
In fact, this can be seen as the collapse of the elements that make up the firewood, decomposing and transforming into the element of fire.
When warlocks cast spells, in order to make casting easier, they use spell mediums to follow this principle.
In the past, Xiao En was limited by his previous life thinking, and only thought about using gas steam boilers to convert them into power.
Affected by the great development of spell applications this year, Sean began to change his thinking.
First convert all the energy into spell energy, and then use it.
In this way, it's not just as simple as converting it into kinetic energy. Don't forget that the leader of the Yongye army also has a series of black magic techniques, especially those magical magic circuits. The reason why they are limited to the northern fortress The land is completely limited by the energy reaction chamber, and there is no way to provide large-scale spell energy in other places.
With the magically modified coal-fired steam boiler, their magic black technology has the opportunity to be used on a large scale.
In Xiao En's eyes, even the magically modified coal-fired steam boiler is a transitional replacement product, and the ultimate product is the energy reaction chamber of the northern fortress.
Compared with the modified coal-fired steam boiler, the energy reaction chamber has many advantages.
It can be called a huge profit. Once it is successfully built, it will not be consumed in other aspects except for the cost of materials. Whether it is wind, water flow, pulsation of the earth's crust, sunlight, etc., everything that can be converted into magical energy will be consumed. It is collected by it and gathered into magical energy.
This is a universal energy collector. During the whole process, there is no consumption and no pollution. It is simply the most ideal energy source.
The energy reaction chamber is not without flaws.
That is, the process of collecting spell energy is relatively slow, and it is also limited by the natural environment.
Let's put it this way, the energy reaction room doesn't like that kind of sunny weather.
A series of catastrophic environments such as thunder and lightning, wind and rain, earth shaking and mountain shaking, are its true love.
In this environment, it collects spell energy the fastest.
The God of Death is not wrong about one thing. The energy of spells is the absolute destroyer of the balance of this world. What it brings to this world is not just biological disasters. The activity of the elements has greatly increased, and it will be accompanied by a series of natural disasters.
In areas where water elements are highly concentrated, the temperature is relatively low, and freezing disasters are prone to occur, with abnormal snowfall and rainfall. The most typical representative is the Kentana Ice Field. The average temperature here is more than ten degrees lower than other regions at the same latitude all year round. Dozens of degrees.
Areas with a high concentration of fire elements are prone to spontaneous combustion and fires.
Earth element-rich areas are naturally prone to frequent earthquakes, and even volcanoes may appear.
In areas with strong wind elements, all kinds of strong winds and hurricanes are more common.
The northern fortress is because there is an energy reaction room in charge, and the high-concentration spell energy will be sucked back by it before it becomes a disaster.
For the sake of the future living environment, it is also very necessary to build large-scale energy reaction chambers in the territory, which belongs to the next chapter.
When the elements in the natural environment are active enough, the speed at which the energy reaction chamber can absorb spell energy may be sufficient.
But now, if the entire environment is still in a period of lack of magical energy, it is obviously not enough if it is used on a large scale.
Most of the spell energy used by Sean in the northern fortress was not produced by the energy reaction room, but was stored in the energy reaction room.
Therefore, the first energy reaction chamber of Yongye Army Leader that Xiao En is going to build is not pure, but is going to be integrated with a coal-fired steam boiler, and it will be a standard dual kinetic energy by then.
The energy reaction chamber itself absorbs part of the magical energy, and the coal-fired steam boiler itself generates part of the magical energy. Only by combining the two can its power be brought into full play.
In this state, the energy reaction chamber can no longer be called an energy reaction chamber, but should be called an energy reaction furnace.
At present, the Yong Ye army leader is trying to build the first energy reactor in the territory of Brother Port.
This matter is naturally handled by Sean himself, and a clone of Sean sits here all the year round.
There are many reasons for choosing to build the first energy reactor here, and there are two core reasons.
First, with the great development of the Dunao Plain, the importance of this place to the Yongye Army Commander will become higher and higher.
This place will be the main food production area and light industry center of the Yong Ye army in the future, and it may even be a population center.
The unrivaled natural danger of the Andes Mountains is certainly its advantage, but it is also its disadvantage.
Most of its environment is not suitable for human habitation. Except for the coast of the Shuangjiang River and the Andes Basin, the surrounding mountains are not uninhabitable. But in terms of transportation, even with the world-famous construction technology of the Yongye Army, if you want to develop here, Difficulty is also quite high.
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first.
If there is no convenient transportation, even in modern society, it is an extremely out-of-touch backcountry.
And the pay is not directly proportional to the harvest.
With the better development direction of the Dunao Plain, how could the leader of the Yongye army make it difficult to abandon the easy?
As time goes by, the new force plan of the Eternal Night Army leader in the Dunao Plain will enter the third stage - the return of personnel.
When they come back at that time, regardless of the Andes, Crocodile, and Kentana barbarians, they will have a common name-Yongye people.
No matter they used to be half-farming and half-hunting, half-farming and half-fishing, half-swimming and half-hunting, their life here will become the most typical farming life.
For this kind of life creation, the Yongye army leader is quite good at it.
According to the local favorable terrain, plan the road in advance.
Then locate the appropriate location and build the corresponding villages and towns.
Those Yongye people who came to open up wasteland can just move in with their bags.
As for a series of living materials such as farming tools, cattle and sheep, poultry, seeds, etc., the territory will prepare everything for them, which is more comprehensive than they think.
This approach has obvious advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage is that most of the expenses are on the side of the Yong Ye army leader.
This is not only laying roads for free, but also helping villagers build houses and dormitories for free.
Although this kind of housing and dormitories are not comparable to ordinary residential buildings, most of them will use large forts that are easy to defend and have more people. If you want a comfortable and beautiful house, you still need to work hard with your own hands and build it slowly in the future.
Even so, looking at the entire Arshan Continent, there is no other territory that dares to do this, except for the Yongye army leader's family.
This is no longer a question of high financial requirements, but very high.
The Yongye military leader dared to do so only when he monopolized most of the foreign trade share and the arms business was booming.
As for how long it will last, no one can estimate.
The commercial trade driven by the rise of the Yongye Army Leader is not just as simple as stimulating the leaders of the Yongye Army Leader.
Even the commerce and trade of the Byron League was stimulated, and capitalism, which was originally in its infancy, kept up with the fertilizer that was born and thrived.
This is determined by the general environment. The Byron Alliance has maintained the current pattern for many years. The nobles and nobles have lost their expansion direction except for fighting internally. However, their greed for wealth is never-ending.
The leader of the Yongye army now opened a brand new door for them, so he was naturally overjoyed, one after another contributed to the flames, and also wanted to obtain more wealth through business.
The wealth and power they have accumulated over the years makes them the most natural capitalists, although capitalists like them are mutants of feudal lords and not pure.
It's really hard to say whether they rashly set foot in the mall to make money or give money away.
But people never look at the losers, but at the winners.
As long as there are people like them who have accumulated a lot of wealth from it, countless people will flock to it.
