Chapter 128: The Machine Age

The second more

Quison left directly in a magic airship, and in this world, it is very inconvenient to fly long distances.

Even if it is a flying demonic beast, the distance of a flight is limited, and it is impossible to say that it flies thousands of miles at a time.

Not to mention the flying magic, the flight magic lasts for a shorter time, and even for a swan man like Alicia, the flight distance is limited.

The speed of the magic airship is slower than that of the flying magic, but the range is very long.

The steam pumping machine is mainly for the central, western, northern and southern regions of the world, which have a lot of precipitation.

The reason why it is on the side of Yindu is mainly the drainage of the mine, there is no shortage of capable people in the magician gonggong, the construction of the steam pump is difficult, the investment is large, and a sufficient number is needed to bring the cost down, and the mine is undoubtedly the best breakthrough.

Two of the deadliest problems encountered in mining are toxic gases and groundwater.

The steam engine can drive not only the pump, but also the blower.

Baiyin Town, about 60 kilometers northwest of Yindu, produces silver here, and there are copper mines, gold mines, iron mines and so on.

There are more than 50,000 people in Baiyin, including about 30,000 miners.

The rest are the families of the miners, as well as some people working in the processing, recreation industries.

Quison spent six days, and the magic airship flew twenty-four hours a day except for replenishment.

The magic airship landed on the mine outside the silver capital, and there was already a magic airship on this mine.

You can see the caves on the hillside, as well as the road down, and the horse-drawn carts that carry the ore, and some wooden houses and the like.

"President, you're ready. "Seeing Quison coming down, the person in charge here hurried over.

When I came to the mountainside, I found that there were not only alchemy associations, silver capitals, dwarves and dwarves, and the steam engine association was co-organized by several parties.

Now it's just a testimony.

The dwarves and gnomes here are not from the dwarf kingdom and the dwarf kingdom, but from the representatives of the Silver Capital Forging Association and the White Iron Smelting Chamber established by the dwarf kingdom.

These people are naturally not qualified to talk to Kuisen face-to-face, and several major families on the silver capital side did not appear, because Kuisen came privately, and the owners of the mines here are mainly trading with the Alchemy Association, and this is just a place to show.

Quison doesn't manage specific things, Quison just comes to see the results.

Experimentation is completely different from experimenting on the field.

"Light the fire. Quison spoke.

The steam engine has been installed, and it is also water-cooled, and the water-cooled hot water is just right for the miners to bathe or something.

It is also possible to install heating, which does a lot anyway.

As for fuel, there is no shortage of it, even if it is to burn wood, of course, the consumption is certainly not low, but it is more important to ask a few people to cut wood and not affect mining.

The steam engine here is not very large, this is configured according to the size of the mine.

Burning for half an hour, the Alchemy Society opened the steam valve.

Whew!

The pump had already been filled with water, and the pump was spun by steam.

Whoa!

More than ten meters away, under the hillside, a white stream of water rushed out.

Forty minutes later, the water in the mine was drained, and the steam engine was switched to the blower.

The blower is channeled directly into the mine through the cloth bag.

"Great!" exclaimed the mine owner.

You must know that there is no water pump, the mining cost of the mine ~ is very good, and it takes a lot of time to drain the water every day, and the other is ventilation, which needs to open up a lot of ventilation roadways, otherwise the mine cannot be mined.

The mine owner personally went down to the bottom of the mine dozens of meters deep, and he could feel the wind blowing out directly from the cloth bag, and as for the groundwater, there was no water accumulation.

The miners who were watching the excitement around immediately came up and asked for the price.

Compared with digging ventilation tunnels and spending huge manpower to drain water, many mine owners can only mine up the mountain, that is, the mining area inside the outlet is low, and use drainage channels to drain water.

This wastes a lot of veins, especially when there is no mechanical blower, and the cost is very high.

This is also why the metal in this world is expensive, the cost is very high, even the dwarves, when mining, the first thing to dig out is ventilation, drainage roadway.

Quison waited here for two days, the steam engine ran for two days in a row, there were no problems, and Quison left.

Luo Heng dealt with things in the territory for a few days, and then came to the side of the Ice and Snow Fortress.

"It's good when the sun comes out. "Even if it is a few days, the temperature on this side of the ice and snow fortress has risen rapidly, Luo Heng found that Alicia and the others are basking in the sun, there are shelves around the temple, and the shelves are dried fish, and now the temperature of the sun is high, but the temperature is still very low at night.

"Alicia, how about coming and seeing my weapon?" Luo Heng shouted.

The rest of the priests turned their heads to look at each other.

Snake Priest, Fox Priest, Rhino Priest, Werewolf Priest.

The temple recruited a lot of priests, most of whom were priest apprentices, and there were dozens of them.

"Your Majesty. The other priests saw that Luo Heng did not object, and they also came up.

Seeing the fire ~ arrow ~ bullet that Luo Heng took out, Alicia subconsciously asked, "How much does this cost?"

Embarrassment!

Luo Heng was speechless, and said: "This is a weapon, it has nothing to do with Chen Ben, you should think about it, this place is broken, what should I do if there are so many things in the cave?"

"This too. Alicia nodded.

Luo Heng took out a cloth bag, and the cloth bag contained some grain.

Luo Heng came to the top of the city wall and said to Walker: "Walker, go and clear out that side, no one is allowed to approach." ”

"Yes. As soon as Walker jumped down, he rushed towards the area pointed by Luo Heng.

There was no one over there, but as soon as Walker drove people away, a lot of orcs gathered to watch the excitement.

Luo Heng put the cloth bag on the city wall, the cloth bag was grain, it was soft, and directly put the fire ~ arrow ~ bullet on it, then adjusted the cloth bag, and took out a sight and stuck it on the fire ~ arrow ~ bullet, just like a ruler, but the bottom of the ruler is arc-shaped.

The fire ~ arrow ~ bullet is fixed.

The fire ~ arrow ~ bullet uses contact excitation, but with an excitation delay, it is to make a delayed fuse in the back.

Luo Heng opened the back cover, the time-delay fuse was sunken inside, of course, the projectile body was safe, even if it just fell to the ground and triggered the activation of the fuse, as long as the speed did not rise, it would not explode.

"Alicia, come and see. Luo Heng called Alicia ~ over.

Why did Luo Heng ask Alicia to come and have a look, instead of directly inspiring it?
