Chapter 328: Steam Oven
The family members of the black dragon are all war maniacs, so after learning about the function of this iron furnace, Wren's identity makes him subconsciously associate it with a sign of war - this soulless object does not need to be fed, there is no concept of cold and hunger, and it does not produce emotions similar to fear, as long as it wears armor and puts a ramming horn on the front, it can rampage through the battlefield, just like the war puppet in the south.
A war golem that doesn't require constant input of mana, Wren said to himself, he knows the process of making it, and it is not difficult for spellcasters to make such a thing, as long as there are enough materials, they can continue to produce them in batches.
"Thinking too much."
This is Caesar's exact words: "Its power is not created out of thin air, it is the product of energy transformation, and if you want to afford it, you must have a large amount of coal resources to support it, and energy supply is an unavoidable problem, otherwise even if you can afford it, you can't afford it." ”
Of course, according to one of the idiots on the caster team, this thing can also rely on the caster for direct fire support, but if that's the case, why make it? If there is anything that might as well be done directly by the caster, it is simply too much.
"Caesar, does it have a name? What exactly is it used for? Luna asked curiously.
"The steam oven, its name is the steam oven, and it has many uses."
Heilong explained: "Transporting ore, drainage, smelting, forging, wherever power support is needed, it can play a role, in short, it is to replace human and animal power as much as possible." ”
"Huh?"
Xiao Luna was a little confused: "Why do you want to replace them?" ”
Caesar noticed that the casters also had hesitant expressions, and the little guy's question was also their problem, but he was afraid of Long Wei and did not dare to ask.
Even in the history of the earth, the popularity of the steam engine was because civilization had developed to a certain extent, and it was in urgent need of a power source to replace inefficient human and animal power to meet the production needs.
But the situation of Eladia is completely different, most countries are content with the status quo, there is no need for the development of the level of productivity, and even if there is, it is easily solved by the channel of supernatural forces - a world that has existed and developed for tens of thousands of years, to say that even the steam engine cannot be studied, Caesar does not believe it, and the most likely is that people feel that there is a better alternative, and do not explore this aspect.
This is the case with a fantasy world with magic, it may be prosperous and great enough, but in a sense, it has also caused the abnormal development of other fields in disguise, everything is born around magic, and it is designed and developed on the basis of magic, and a "magic tree" has grown that is completely different from the earth.
Magic and technology, Caesar can't judge which of the two civilizations is better or worse, but he knows that the two paths are the same, and he can master incredible power at the end, but now he is in a personal situation, if he chooses to climb the magic guide tree, the Black Wing Empire can only follow behind others, and I am afraid that it will never be able to catch up with the sun that has developed to the extreme.
To overtake in a corner, he had to take a very different path.
After the scientific level is really developed, dragon scales and magic barriers are a fart, and all beings are equal under high-speed armor-piercing bombs, if this is not possible, orbital strikes and star destroyers understand?
Don't say that the science developed based on the rules of the world is meaningless, and the gods can rely on the truth to reverse and destroy it at will, you must know that when the scientific means really go to that point, in the current context, the hub of rule adaptation and the hub of interference are definitely the first things that Caesar came up with.
However, you don't have to think about it to know that things will not be so simple, whether it is the overlord of Eladia, the sun never sets, or the gods of the astral plane, they will not allow the emergence of a technological civilization that has developed to the extreme, long before it forms resistance, the Black Wing Empire will be noticed and wiped out by a joint strike.
Not to mention the rebellious and faithless science, in fact, even the empire that relies on the power of magic has encountered a bottleneck in its upward development, and for nearly a thousand years, their level of magic has never been able to reach a higher level, as if they are imprisoned and locked by some kind of force, and it is difficult to make new progress and breakthroughs.
It depends on Caesar's ability, before the rise of the scientific and technological civilization of the Black Wing Empire, there will inevitably be a rather long and fragile window period, and at this time, it must be supported by the wings of the Black Dragon Emperor in order to sprout and grow steadily.
At this time, the Black Wing Empire had no foundation for the industrial revolution at all, and the industrial genes had just appeared, and they were all in the hands of the royal court, so Caesar did not expect to be able to popularize the use of the steam engine, or even rely on selling it in exchange for wealth.
Heilong only wants to put this kind of machine into the Lakon mining area first, for ore pulling and crushing, after a period of trial use, combined with the actual situation to further improve the steam furnace, and at the same time use this as an inspiration to fill up the technical reserves as soon as possible, and then promote industrial development from top to bottom when the time is ripe.
In fact, in Caesar's design concept, the role of the steam furnace is to promote the shipbuilding industry, and the Black Wing Empire occupies a geographical advantage adjacent to the West Sea, but it is extremely lacking in sea power, and if it wants to have ocean-going capabilities, it can only rely purely on imports, and must pay a lot of high funds for this.
And such imports will definitely not last long, considering the future competition of interests, sovereignty issues and even wars, the Black Wing Empire must be able to produce enough excellent warships on its own.
In Caesar's strategic plan, fast, convenient, and powerful maritime power is a vital part, and a country cannot get up by relying only on its own silent efforts, and if it wants to pile up high-level development in various fields, it must first have money, and how can the money come from......
Caesar's order was to first build a port on the west coast to set up a dock, form a shipbuilding department, then import a batch of the best ships of the current era to various places, and the department will conduct reverse research and development, and then consider replacing the magic core with a steam furnace to create an ironclad battleship with imperial characteristics.
In the conversation with Wren, the Black Dragon Emperor pointed out that in order to fully explore in the field of science, all departments should give priority to the allocation of productive forces to heavy industry, improve the level of development, and strive to complete the pre-industrial construction of enchanted steam engines, steam engines, and internal combustion engines in the second five-year plan.
