Chapter 596: The Beginning of a New Type of Warship
But one thing is certain is that the entire market will become more and more planned and normalized. As it is now, the leader of the Yongye army, the joint regent princess, and Angel Bena monopolize more than 90% of the entire market. , but deformed and abnormal.
With the standardization of the market, the total income of Yongye Junling will not decrease, but will increase instead.
Because the market will further expand, there is a supply and demand stimulus.
In Xiao En's previous life history textbook, it is not without reason that the transition from feudalism to capitalism is defined as social progress.
Capitalism not only stimulates the demand of the entire market, but also stimulates the production enthusiasm of the bottom people, and the money is touching, and no one can refuse the temptation of benefits.
The other is mass production, which will reduce management and labor costs.
In a word, whether or not the same method can be used in the future depends on the speed at which the Yong Ye army leader collects money.
The advantages of this approach are obvious opinions.
The entire development process will be under the control of the Yongye army leader, and they have to develop wherever they want them to develop.
Compared with individual self-development, it is easier to form a scale, which is convenient for management and convenient for the collection and transportation of products.
The villages they set up will be excellent places for urban development in the future. After a certain scale is formed, these cities will naturally divide their population and expand to the surrounding areas to form smaller villages and gathering points.
The other is to stimulate the enthusiasm of those territories to migrate and expand.
The leader of the Yongye Army has never liked to use rough and coercive methods against the people under his rule. Without enough temptation, how can he make those people who have already lived a relatively stable and prosperous life take the initiative to open up wasteland and engage in large-scale construction in the Donnao Plain?
Even if favorable conditions are provided, it is estimated that in the past few years, most of the land was occupied by the army, and the large-scale migration of the people will have to wait for the people who are pioneers to get more benefits from it and have a better life.
Don't blame these citizens for being conservative, but every decision they make will involve the life, death and future of themselves and their families, so they have to be carefully considered.
As long as the Yong Ye army leader makes them see hope from it, they will naturally flock to it.
The labor efficiency driven by the whip will never catch up with the temptation by profit.
This is a matter of consensus among the senior leaders of the Yong Ye army.
The importance of the Donau Plain is increasing, and the defense naturally needs to be improved and strengthened. After all, there is no geographical advantage of the Andes Mountains here, and there are holes everywhere. If it changes, it will become the enemy's primary attack target.
The leader of the Yong Ye army now thinks that what he is ahead of other territories is the black technology in terms of magic.
The significance of the construction of the energy reactor is not only an improvement in productivity, but also an improvement in combat effectiveness.
This means that the leader of Yongye can directly build the mage tower in Brother Port.
At the same time, it also means that soldiers will have recharge points for rapid recovery of combat skills.
The army led by Yong Ye, who has a steady stream of magical energy, will have a linear increase in combat effectiveness.
This is only one of the reasons, and the other reason is the port that can run through the inland river and the sea.
The scope of application of the energy reactor is not limited to land fortresses, and ships will also be its best carrier.
Xiao En has not forgotten another big harvest from the God of Death - the dragon bone battleship Dragon Roar.
To be more precise, the keel of the Dragon Skeleton Battleship Dragon Roar, the real dragon skeleton, has been disassembled in sevens and eighties, and has no value for reuse. The wooden structure is still the skeleton of a skeleton warship.
Xiao En calculated and calculated, the best use of this dragon skeleton is to make it into a battleship.
It is also a dragon skeleton battleship, the one made by the Yongye army leader must be completely different from the one made by the Commons family.
In Xiao En's opinion, whether it is the dragon skeleton battleship made by the Commons family or the God of Death's refitting of it, it is a waste of natural resources. There is no way to use magic energy, but there is no way to quickly gather magic energy.
At the end of the fight, there is only one result, that is, the energy is cut off, and it is directly returned to its original shape.
If it is equipped with a dual-purpose energy reactor, this embarrassing situation will naturally not occur.
Even if it is on the sea, it doesn't matter if the coal burning is out of gear. They also have an automatic element gathering device that can be used. Although this device is a bit slower, it is still effective.
What's more, coal-fired steam boilers don't have to burn coal, as long as some are burned, it doesn't matter whether it is coal, black fire oil, or dry wood. If the black powder reaction is too violent and the energy release rate is too fast, theoretically , the energy released by the black powder can be converted into magical energy.
Recently, the master craftsmen of the Yongye army are gathering in the direction of Brother Port.
Not only masters in shipbuilding, but also those in metallurgy, artillery, enchanting, woodworking, etc. are all mobilizing in this direction.
Once this new dragon-skeleton battleship is successfully built, it will definitely become a culmination of many crafts by the Yong Ye army leader.
"Be more open-minded. This battleship is equipped with energy response devices, which can gather a lot of energy. Why use the old-fashioned mast and sail mode? Whether it is steam or magic energy, it can drive the turbine engine. Come to propel the ship forward, and it will be faster at that time, and it will not be affected by the natural environment." Xiao En, who was in the state of the Shadow Soul Eater, asked the masters.
Their grass-roots team is still in a state of running-in. Not only do these masters need to cater to Sean's thinking, but Sean also needs to understand what they are thinking and know their level.
Just like before, this time they are still groping.
Sean spends most of his time providing ideas and ideas, and these master craftsmen are responsible for implementing these ideas and transforming them into real objects.
Even if the energy reactor will be operated by him from the beginning to the end, it does not mean that he forged and built it.
The construction of new dragon skeleton battleships is secondary. The most important thing is to open up the minds of these master craftsmen, so that they can lead the entire army to advance in technology.
Still the same sentence, how high the Yongye army can lead the black technology in the end, it is not enough to have only one Xiao En, but also need masters like them.
Another advantage of building the new dragon skeleton warship in Brother Port this time is that they have a large number of ready-made talents that can be used. Those students in the academy city who have some relationship with their majors will be temporarily seconded to participate in this cross-age project.
"In order to better collect spell energy, my lord." A master who seemed to be in his early thirties replied.
This person's name is Fitzgerald, and he is one of the most outstanding shipbuilding masters in the Eternal Night Army.
He was born in Sishui City, which can be regarded as a shipbuilding family. Although he used to build small fishing boats, he is considered skilled.
When the leader of the Yong Ye army annexed the Walled City Alliance and recruited people to build his own shipyard, he was one of the people who responded positively.
At that time, he did not expect that he would become one of the pillars of the shipbuilding industry of the Yongye Army Leader in the future. Eat a full meal.
It is gold that shines everywhere.
He was talking about people like Fitzgerald. When he first joined the Yongye Junling Shipyard, he was just a young traditional craftsman who could not read.
But he seized the opportunity of Yongye Army Leader to train his own craftsmen, and absorbed all opportunities to acquire knowledge. Not only did he learn traditional crafts from the shipbuilders hired by Yongye Army Leader, but he also had the cheek to learn to read with those bare-bottomed children. Learn to broaden your knowledge.
Learning more knowledge does not necessarily mean success, but it broadens the possibility of success.
In this day and age, having more knowledge means broader thinking, faster learning and acceptance.
In terms of shipbuilding technology, Fitzgerald may not be the best in the Yongye army, but in this industry, he is definitely the fastest to accept and learn.
The leader of the Yongye Army back then when he was building the building boat and the fast-charging fast boat, he contributed so much to turning many of Sean's things that only existed on paper into practical possibilities, which left a deep impression on Sean. , In terms of shipbuilding, Sean named him.
It's just that I didn't expect that Master Fitzgerald, who was the fastest to accept new things, was a bit stubborn and conservative this time, and insisted on keeping the mast and sail settings of the dragon skeleton battleship.
But listening to the other party's reply, he may still have his own thoughts, Xiao En nodded and said: "Continue, what do the mast and sail have to do with collecting spell energy?"
"The lord is an expert in spell energy. I don't understand it, but I do understand energy consumption." Fitzgerald explained, "Whether it is steam or spell energy as the driving force, it will generate energy. The above consumption, but according to Lord Lord’s design, spell energy is not only power energy, but also can be used as the energy of spell shells, and even as the protective ability of battleships. If it is supplied purely by burning coal? These ships Wouldn't it be necessary to load half of the black coal on each voyage?
Once a war breaks out, the consumption of coal mines will be even more alarming, right?
The lord said before that this kind of energy reactor can automatically absorb the magical energy in the environment and store it for use. Then most of the magical energy generated during the coal mine burning process can also be stored?
That being the case, why not add a sail power on top of the dual power foundation?
With the wind and the water flowing smoothly, it is driven by sails and some steam turbines, and most of the spell energy is accumulated in the energy reactor.
Against the wind and the current, it will not be too late to use steam turbine drive and spell energy drive. "
Fitzgerald obviously did a lot of homework, not only talking about building a boat well, but also taking into account the performance of all aspects of the energy reactor.
Of course, the energy reactor he knew still existed on paper, but if his lord told them they could do it, then they would definitely be able to do it, and it was even possible to do better than what they said in writing.
This point is not only because of Master Fitzgerald's deep confidence, but no one in the room doubts this point. Their confidence in Xiao En is so strong that it is almost blind.
The Shadow Soul Eater fell into a sluggish state and did not respond for a long time.
The masters here are used to it. After all, your lord is in a remote connection state. Once other avatars have more important matters, or fall into complex technical analysis, and need to rely on the huge soul consciousness of the mage tower, similar situations will also occur.
They have now felt the benefits of this remote connection. As long as their lord is present, they have a huge remote database to query and help them solve some cross-industry technical problems.
There are many technical problems that have no solution in this industry. If you change your thinking or direction, you may be able to solve them easily.
I heard from the lord that when the energy output pipelines and all the energy reactors are connected together, and the military leader is fully laid, they can log in to the consciousness space anytime and anywhere to browse the knowledge they need. At that time, It will be an era of information explosion and information sharing.
Just thinking about it makes people excited, looking forward to the early arrival of that day.
Sean's situation this time obviously belongs to the latter. After only a few minutes, his eyes recovered and he said: "Master Fitzgerald's plan is correct, but mine is too advanced. Wait until what? At that time, our energy reactors will be laid all over the coasts of Shuangjiang and Donau Plains, and when warships can replenish spell energy anytime and anywhere, it will not be too late for us to cancel the masts and sails. Before that, we will still use multiple power sources. way is more appropriate.”
Sean highly affirmed Master Fitzgerald's proposal.
When designing the new dragon skeleton warship, Sean's thinking was unknowingly influenced by the modern ships and warships of the previous life.
But one problem is more or less ignored in it-supply.
Now that ships and warships are booming on a large scale, the whole world has entered the most prosperous period of the era of great navigation. Not only are there many supply points, but even the routes are stable.
And the sailing business of the Yong Ye Army is still in its infancy. The Dragon Skeleton battleship is too advanced, and if it relies too much on supplies, it will also limit its combat effectiveness.
In the end, he went back to the old way. When the supplies are sufficient, he will be invincible. Once the supplies stop, he will completely lie down.
As the flagship of the explorer fleet, the new dragon skeleton battleship is mainly tasked with exploring the endless sea. The situation it will face will inevitably be complex and changeable. It may even be months or even years, and there will be no chance to return to the Eternal Night Commander for supplies. Problems can only be solved locally.
At that time, the more ways to provide kinetic energy, the more ways the crew and soldiers above can choose.
Moreover, the new dragon skeleton battleship is not made of steel. It will still be made of solid wood, and metal materials such as steel are used to lay magic circuits and build energy reactors.
no way.
In many cases, even mastering advanced technologies and ideas is useless, and you still have to use transitional technologies.
Because this is limited by productivity.
The three iron mines led by the Yongye Army on the border of the Donau Plain have been repaired, and iron ore has begun to be transported one after another. In addition, the amount of iron ore acquired from the Kingsley family in recent years is really not small.
But the hole that can't stand them consuming iron ore is even bigger.
Needless to say, weapons and armor require steel.
New weapons and artillery also require high-quality steel.
High-quality metals are also indispensable for the construction of energy reactors and energy pipelines.
The land transportation method that the Yong Ye army leader is preparing - the railway, is an out-and-out steel-eating monster.
For the first few items alone, Yongye Army Leader, who has no way to use alternative products, can no longer afford it. Many projects have been put on hold until resources are sufficient.
Meals have to be eaten bite by bite, roads have to be taken step by step, and technological innovation can only be done step by step.
"However, the old-fashioned masts and sails cannot be used. I just re-adjusted the design of the new warship, which incorporates a magic loop, which can not only assist the energy reactor to collect magic energy, but also increase the use of wind power. rate, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the speed of the ship." Sean waved his claws, and a holographic projection appeared in front of everyone.
On the design drawing of the new dragon skeleton battleship, the design of the mast and sail has been added.
These masts and sails are obviously different from the past. The masts are covered with metal wires, and the metal wire structure can also be seen on the sails.
