Chapter 15: Addicted to Cultivating Immortals, Growing Thin, and Mad Scientists
Soon, Xu Shu, under the leadership of Lin Yang, traveled to the entire Wu Kingdom, which can be called the most secret place so far. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info is also fortunate that Lin Yang has just signed a contract with him, otherwise, it would not be possible to say anything to let him enter such a secret place at once.
After all, there is no big secret about the steam engine. With the computing power of the human immortal monk's brain, he only needs to look at the finished product, look at the ideas, and look at the appearance, and it won't take long to imitate it.
The reason why it has never been invented is simply because no one has done it before, not because it is very difficult.
Just like hybrid rice in the 21st century, this thing can be said to be immeasurably meritorious, saving the lives of hundreds of millions of people, and suddenly increasing the yield per mu to 800 kilograms. (Of course, the doubling of yield per mu is another aspect of the credit of chemical fertilizers.) ļ¼
However, the process of cultivating hybrid rice is not a very complicated matter. It only takes patience and luck, and after learning about the process, you only need to cast a wide net to cultivate it.
The same is true of the steam engine at this time. The difficulty itself is not great. It's just that in the past, no one thought about it. Once you have an idea, it's easy to make it up.
(For high-level Qi Refiners, the difficulty of imitating a steam engine that has already appeared is much lower than cultivating a high-level spell!) ļ¼
As he walked, Xu Shu's brows wrinkled subconsciously, and the whole person was also in good spirits. It's really that along the way, the various spells and prohibitions he has encountered are too powerful, and many of them are enough to threaten his life!
However, it is precisely because of this that I will be more curious and interested in what I see and hear next.
"Alright, here it is." With that, Lin Yang pushed open the door. As soon as the door opened, there was a rumbling sound. Probably, there are 100 decibels.
If it were an ordinary person, it would have been noisy a long time ago. But fortunately, the researchers here, even if they have the lowest cultivation, have a first-order cultivation. Such a little difficulty can still be overcome.
This is a house, the house is very wide, about ten zhang long, five or six zhang wide, three long and high. Inside the house, there are many patterns, some are soundproof, some are shockproof, and some are explosion-proof!
It seems that doing research here is really life-threatening. Xu Shu complained secretly.
However, the most striking thing is a huge piece of machinery in the center of the house. This thing is one zhang high, one zhang long, one zhang wide, and weighs tens of thousands of catties. The whole body is black, and at first glance, you can tell that it is a mixture of many metals. All the sounds come from the inside of this thing.
Lin Yang pointed to the steam engine and said: "This is the steam engine, on the one hand, pour the raw materials doped with spirit stone powder into the most central reactor, and through the various formations in the reactor, they are completely converted into energy. ā
Before Lin Yang could finish speaking, Xu Shu continued: "On the other hand, when the energy is generated, it will enter another instrument and transform it. These surrounding ports correspond to the basic heat, the lean energy that can be used, the water vapor, and the ......"
"In addition, the prohibition in the reactor is not complicated, it is roughly to protect the equipment itself from exploding. Well, at the same time there is an exacerbation of the reaction. As for these materials, they are not cheap either. It is estimated that there are refined iron, dark iron, and even the spirit stone itself, as well as ......" While speaking, Xu Shu also knocked on the steam engine itself, making a crisp sound.
At the same time, a pair of eyes burst out with a silvery-white light, carefully examining every part of the steam engine. From time to time, I put my hands directly into the reactor, aren't I afraid of high temperature or huge energy, destroying my hands?
Oh, by the way, these Qi Refiners are really not afraid. It seems that the immortal monks of this world are really suitable for the position of mad scientists.
Asking for immortals all day long, fighting for immortality is really a waste of talents and resources. If everyone had changed careers and become mad scientists, Dahan would have flown long ago.
It's a pity that before this, the Qi Refiners were all high-minded, obsessed with cultivating immortals all day long, unable to extricate themselves, and had never done anything like that!
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Shu, who finally reacted, said puzzledly: "The effect of this thing seems to be very simple, and it can only slowly release the energy in the spirit stone in the form of spirit stone powder." There's nothing new, why ......"
I have to say that this is a matter of thinking. Even if this thing was defeated in front of Xu Shu, he didn't know how to use it. Why? Because in the past, he lived a life of cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals.
In daily life, there is no need for this thing. According to his values, how do you measure the value of an object?
First, look at its attack power. This big guy, it's obvious that the attack can't be done!
Secondly, take a look at whether it is a magic weapon, how many layers of prohibition there are, or if it is a precious material in itself. It's a pity that this is a very ordinary item in every way, and there are no prohibitions!
Finally, looking at its use value, this big man can't cultivate immortals, can't fight, can't live forever, can't defend, and really can't find use value. What can the big guy do? At least Xu Shu didn't find out.
Seeing this, Lin Yang was also speechless. Perhaps, this is the difference in values. In this world, the strong never think for the weak.
There has never been an immortal who has taken the initiative to go deep into the people to study whether they can invent something to make the lives of the people better.
Although, this is not difficult for these immortals! Is it difficult to invent a plow with the least effort? Is it difficult to invent some iron-smelting technology and steel-making technology? Even, is it really difficult to delve into all kinds of seeds and invent high-yielding seeds?
None of this was difficult, but before that, no Qi Refiner had ever thought about it like this! That's pure values, and brain circuits.
"Well, Yuanzhi, you come with me, just look at these models." Lin Yang said.
If you want to change Xu Shu's previous inherent thinking, and if you want him to really pay attention to his work, you must come up with some dry goods.
Soon, I came to another house nearby. Here, in the center, is a huge sand table. This sand table is more than 20 zhang long and more than 10 zhang wide. Above is the topography of the entire six counties of Jiangdong. There are mountains, there is flowing water, and it looks like that's the case.
However, there are many black routes in this sand table. These black routes are all made of iron, and they are also double-tracked. Between the tracks, there is also this sleeper.
At the beginning of the track, there is a strange vehicle. The body is very long and narrow, and the wheels underneath happen to be combined with double tracks.
"The bottom is called the railroad track, and the top is called the train. At the head of the train, there is a small piece of spirit stone, which acts as a driving force and depicts a formation. As for the railway, it is a place dedicated to the movement of trains. Just like on the sand table, the railway will be built all over the east of the river at that time. ā
As he spoke, Lin Yang turned on the switch, and the pocket train also moved. With a buzz, the train slowly moved.
"You see, in the future, the head of the train will be equipped with the steam engine you just saw, and the back carriage will be loaded with countless goods, of course, it can also be people, people and goods."
"You can roughly imagine how thousands of people on a train, traveling at a speed of sixty or seventy kilometers per hour, will change for the whole of Jiangdong. Thousands of tons or even tens of thousands of tons of goods are loaded on trains and transported between two places, what will happen? ā
Hearing this, Xu Shu immediately calculated it in his mind. After all, it is the computing power of a quantum computer, collecting information, building models, performing mathematical calculations, and finally conducting three-dimensional simulations.
If you use spirit stones, it is indeed possible to do the above. Moreover, because of the spirit stone itself, the speed can be even faster. It's just that once it's faster, some of the gains outweigh the losses, and you'll lose money.
Once it is really realized, you can walk more than 1,000 kilometers in one day and night, and how big is the whole Jiangdong? At least, it is still possible for Wu County and Huiji County to achieve a round trip a day.
So, what about the army? What would happen if the army reached that speed? What happens when information is transmitted at such a speed? There is also the transportation of various materials and so on.
Although Xu Shu doesn't know much about the common people on weekdays, at this time, thousands of magical ideas have arisen in his mind.
It can be said that the appearance of a train alone is enough to make a qualitative change in the slow-paced life of the people in the past. When the time comes, those who can't get up quickly can only be crushed by the rumbling of the steam engine.
Once industrialization and scale appear, even Lin Yang himself will not be able to control this beast. However, there is no need to prevent it from not. When the time comes, it will be perfect to take the opportunity to militarize and centralize? !
"Yuan Zhi, next, you are responsible for formulating appropriate industrial standards, designing lathes, as long as it is related to the steam engine, you can be responsible for inventing and creating."
"For example, how to use the miniaturized steam engine for farming, for iron smelting, for mining are all your tasks. After achieving these tasks, a fifth-order earth immortal, a Ministry of Works, plus a viscount or even an earl's title are indispensable. Lin Yang said with a smile.
After coming for so long, I finally began to see a glimmer of modern society.
