Chapter 597: The Core Foundation of Industry
In the eyes of ordinary people, these metal wires and wires are beautiful patterns, making them extremely gorgeous.
But in the eyes of these masters who have already studied basic rune literature, these are mysterious and complex magic circuits.
In principle, they are identical to enchanted equipment.
Fitztier's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Do these sails and masts have to be used with an energy reactor?"
Sean obviously knew the deep meaning of Fitztier's question, and said with a smile: "I knew you would ask this, just when I was designing, I designed both of them, both specially used with the energy reactor, and some used alone, but compared with the previous one, the utilization rate will be very low, and the energy cannot be stored. ”
Limited by the industrial system and its own resources.
Even if the new dragon wreck battleship is successfully built, it is a rare product in a short period of time, and it is mainly a wooden sail warship.
If this magic mast and magic sail can be successfully tested, even if the actual effect is only half of it, the effect will be huge.
Because this means that, under the same conditions, the magic sail warships produced by the Eternal Night Army have half a speed advantage over the warships produced by other territories.
In naval battles, having the advantage of speed, whether attacking or retreating, has the initiative.
All the people present were smart people, and they obviously thought of this piece, and they showed strong interest one by one.
"I'll take care of the mast thing. "Make sure that the lines on it are exactly the same as those on the design drawings." ”
"I'll take care of the wire needed for mast enchantment. Master Bazel patted his chest and said, he is good at magic transformation of various siege equipment, and he is familiar with this area.
One law, ten thousand laws.
As long as they understand the principles followed, the magic energy is far less mysterious and lofty than they think, and as long as they follow these principles, they have already created enchanted equipment before they have a concept of the magic energy.
Not to mention the soul rune culture created by their own lord, it even made them feel and see the magic energy, and they could use it, and the difficulty was greatly reduced.
"I'll do the enchanting sails. Master Vark took the initiative to make the sails.
This one is a leader in the tailoring industry on the same level as Sophia's master craftsman, but the origins and personalities of the two determine the different paths they will take in the future.
Sophia is because of her love for clothing design, she embarked on the tailoring industry, compared to tailoring, her main interest is still in clothing design, probably out of female nature, she has a soft spot for clothing design, after arriving in the royal capital Valesta, she is naturally like a fish in water.
Master Valker is a halfway transfer, he was transferred from the main combat corps after a leg was disabled, and some things that belong to the military have been integrated into his bones, and military products are his main research direction.
Most of the military uniforms, multi-functional military backpacks, new leather armor, etc., of the Eternal Night Army Leader, came from the arsenal he led.
Naturally, this also includes the sails and ropes used by most warships.
"Then please leave it to your Excellencies. Sean stood up and said solemnly, just on a leopard, there was a little twist.
All the masters of the Eternal Night Army stood up one after another and said, "Lord Lord, it's really too polite, this is our business. ”
"We would also like to thank Your Excellency for providing such a great opportunity to work with top craftsmen in many different industries, which is a rare experience and may take our skills to the next level. ”
"Let's work together to create something that has never been seen before in this world. ”
"I believe we will succeed. ”
After a few words of encouragement, the master craftsmen hurriedly left and devoted themselves to their own manufacturing workshop.
The construction of the new Dragonwreck was also the process of building a new shipyard in Brother Port.
Judging from the area under construction, once the construction is successful, it will become the largest shipyard in the Eternal Night Army.
And so it is.
The shipyard is positioned as a composite shipyard in the Eternal Night Warlord.
It can not only build the more conventional building ships of the Eternal Night Lord, but also have the ability to build conventional sea ships.
In addition to his shipbuilding capabilities, he will also be the first magic energy supply point for the new Dragonwreck Battleship in the future, as this will be the first energy reactor for the Eternal Night Army.
After all, the energy reactor is currently only in a drawing state, although Sean has rehearsed it countless times with the soul mode to prove its feasibility.
However, when it is actually transformed into real objects, there are still many practical problems.
It's not as simple as painting a scoop with a gourd.
No matter how good Sean is, it is impossible for him to personally build such a project, the real operators are still those front-line construction personnel, and he alone understands that it can't be done, and those front-line construction personnel must be made clear about what to do.
Compared to shipbuilding, they are more familiar with construction.
Take the familiar practice hands first, and wait until it is really feasible, and then it is not too late to build a new dragon skeleton battleship.
To this end, Sean not only transferred Mr. Ferdinand and his two warlock students, but also transferred the independent engineering regiment that was building the Mage Tower in the Northern Fortress.
The construction of the mage tower group in the northern fortress was once again temporarily stopped, not because the construction funds could not keep up, but because the transportation of jade ore, which was the main construction material, could not keep up.
At present, several main towers have been completed and put into use, and the remaining sub-towers are not in a hurry.
In the southeastern branch of Brother Port, in a closed construction site, a unique and huge building is taking shape.
From a distance, it looked like another mage tower, but when you look closer, it is actually a huge chimney, which looks like a thermal power plant in Sean's previous life.
It's just that it's similar in appearance, and there's nothing similar on the inside.
Of course, in essence, the two are the same thing, both are energy conversion devices.
It's just that thermal power plants use combustibles to convert them into electricity.
The energy reactor is the use of combustibles to convert into magic energy.
It doesn't matter whether the two are good or bad, they are both a kind of energy, but they are in different worlds and have different application scopes.
Generally speaking, the range of magic energy is much larger than that of electricity, and electricity is only one type of magic energy.
The biggest advantage of magic energy over electricity is that it can be stored in large quantities in specialized structures.
The energy reactor that the Eternal Night Warlord is building is made up of several parts.
The first and starting part, the incinerator.
Since all materials that can be continuously burned, after being thrown inside, they will be transformed into raging flames, and a large amount of heat energy will be absorbed by the spell circuit on the incinerator to form fire attribute spell energy.
But this transformation and absorption is incomplete, and this is vividly demonstrated in the energy reactor chamber of the Northern Fortress.
If it could really absorb all the magic energy, the entire Northern Fortress would already have a big abnormal weather, and the normal weather changes would not be visible.
At best, it has a strong stagnation effect on the magical energy, and then guides them to slowly flood towards itself, and in general, its absorption utilization rate is between twenty and thirty percent.
The energy reactor designed according to the energy reaction chamber naturally has no way to break this.
Although there is no 100% energy conversion in this world, this efficiency is still too low and too low in Sean's opinion.
This is not difficult for Sean, and there are a series of means waiting for him later!
The energy reactor is a steam boiler type, and there is a large amount of water in the surrounding closed structure.
Heat that is not in the range of utilization will make the water boil.
There is no doubt that in the process of boiling water, a part of the energy is absorbed by the energy reactor in the form of fire attribute and water attribute magic energy, and the conversion utilization rate is still maintained at about twenty or thirty percent, but this belongs to twenty or thirty percent out of fifty or sixty percent, and it has begun to decrease.
This brings us to the second part, the steam oven.
More than half of the remaining energy is not wasted, but is converted into mechanical power in the form of steam.
According to Sean's vision, the best device driven by mechanical power is the generator, and all the electricity is stored in the form of magic energy, so as to achieve the purpose of maximum energy storage and utilization.
But unfortunately, for the current Eternal Night Commander, the generator is still a bit too high-end, and it can't be manufactured for the time being, so it can only be regarded as the future development direction.
Now at the other end of the spectrum is a transitional product – a windmill.
It belongs to the third part of the energy reaction chamber, and a part of the energy will be absorbed by the energy reaction chamber as wind attribute spell energy.
These windmills do not blow directly into the open field, but in a closed room - the dust chamber, which is the fourth part of the energy reaction chamber.
As you can tell from the name, it is filled with a lot of dust, which is blown by windmills and turned into wind and sand, and it is repeatedly agitated here.
In this process, a small amount of wind attribute spell energy and a large amount of earth attribute spell energy will be absorbed by the energy reactor.
The close relationship between fire and water, wind and earth is vividly reflected in this process.
Not only do they restrain each other, but they also grow together.
In a row, the energy generated during the combustion of combustibles has been utilized.
Thirty and a half percent of them will be converted into fire-type spell energy.
Twenty percent of it will be converted into water-based spell energy.
One percent will be converted into wind attribute spell energy.
One percent will be converted into earth-attribute spell energy.
Seventy and a half percent of the energy utilization rate, under current conditions, is already quite good.
And once the energy reactor is built, the combustion transformation is only a part, when the internal magic energy starts to operate, it will form a strong suction force, absorbing a part of all the natural energy changes in nature, whether it is wind, rain, thunder, lightning, heat, etc.
Anyway, when all the energy arrives here, it will be plucked.
Including the light and shadow produced by sun exposure, some of them will also be stored in the form of light and dark attributes.
Compared with the energy of combustion and conversion, although the efficiency of the magic energy absorbed in the process of independent operation of the energy reactor is a little slower, it is expensive that there is no pollution and consumption, and once it is pushed, it is in a state of 25 hours of operation, and it does not have the nature of a perpetual motion machine that stops running all year round.
When the energy reactor is built and the corresponding magic energy storage structure is available, the waterwheels along the Danube River can be fully utilized, and their energy can also be converted into magic energy.
In fact, even with an energy reactor, hydroelectric power plants are still one of the major trends in the future of the Eternal Night Army.
Possessing magic energy doesn't mean that the Eternal Night Warlord must give up electricity, does it?
According to the current development of the Eternal Night Commander, even if it is really a hydroelectric power station, it is estimated that it is a magic version, first using an energy reactor to pick up a few layers of energy, and then converting it into electricity through hydropower.
The Eternal Night Warlord is running wildly towards the popularization and use of magical energy, and when the next Scholars Conference is held again, those scholars will be stunned by the changes in Brother Harbor.
There is a reason for Zhang Youchi, Sean still understands.
After the Ancestral Spirit Legion had grown in size and had readjusted to his body, he gave himself a short vacation and went to Valesta to accompany Sophia for this year's New Year's carnival.
Just as Sean had envisioned last year, the royal family's free food was only a one-day New Year's revelry, but it lasted for three days, fueled by the businessmen's spontaneous efforts.
The entertainment programs that have been brought up by the Eternal Night Leader have become more numerous and diverse.
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
After they have tasted the taste of carnival, it is difficult to refuse, and the pursuit of beauty and pleasure is an innate instinct of human beings.
Especially when life is too difficult, I look forward to this kind of celebration more and more.
Here you don't feel the slightest tension that the West Odin Empire is likely to knock on the edge on a large scale after the beginning of spring, and it still has a carefree and rich atmosphere.
Since the regent Princess Sophia did not show signs of falling in love with power, the change of power in the royal family was also unexpectedly smooth, although it was a little small, it also stayed in the upper echelons of the royal family, and it did not have much impact on the small citizens below, at most it gave them more to talk about.
According to royal rules, this year will be the last New Year for Princess Regent Sophilia to spend in the royal capital Valesta.
Next year, whether she marries or not, she must return to her fiefdom.
The Wang family is ruthless, and that's what they are talking about.
The laws of the royal family are prepared for the stability of the rule of the whole royal family, and private feelings and thoughts are not taken into account.
In private, Sean was scolded by Sophia and complained about it, but it was far less serious than Sean expected, and a few words of understatement passed, more of an obsession with dry wood and fire.
Thinking about this situation, it's normal, after all, the two are not ordinary men and women, and they are two rulers at the same time, how can they have so much effort to soak together?
What's more, there are the limitations of the times, these years, those aristocratic couples live separately in two places, and they can't see each other for a year and a half, it's really normal, especially those whose husbands go on the expedition, it's not uncommon to hear all the news for three or five years, and some people even live in waiting for a lifetime.
No matter how advanced the thinking of Princess Regent Sophia is, she has not been able to completely jump out of the category of women in the current era.
She is not the kind of resentful girl who focuses all her attention on Sean, the burden of the princess regent has not been completely lifted, and some official duties still take up a lot of her time.
And although Sean's body is locked in the mage tower, he has not forgotten that he has a girlfriend who has been privately appointed for life.
Gifts and surprises for the holidays are never stopped, and a letter a week is also essential.
As the saying goes, only those who move around a lot are called relatives.
Family affection needs to be maintained, let alone love.
Sean is not a junior brother in the pure sense, it is the first time in this life to fall in love with him, but in the last life, he had a family and a room, and a harmonious family that had been maintained for more than ten years.
And in the network of the previous life, there was never a shortage of chicken soup for the soul that taught people to talk about love.
A lot of it makes sense, it depends on whether you can stick to it.
