Chapter 246 The Mining Railway Opens
The next day, at sunrise, under the auspices of Amir, the deputy mayor of the town, a grand opening ceremony kicked off! Present at the scene were Mayor Chen, Tasker, the Chief War Machine Master of Booty Bay, Clyde the Pigman, Queen Shalily, who is said to have eaten and still slept, and two thousand orcs!
The scene looks, well, very incongruous!
The opening of the double-line railway from Zangbao Bay to the underground city (hereinafter referred to as the mining railway) is of great significance, which represents the transformation of Zangbao Bay from nothing to a heavy industrial town, and also represents endless wealth and unlimited development potential!
It can be said that even if Chen Yu does nothing in the future, he can become the richest man in the world! Of course, his goal is not only to become the richest man, maybe the sea of stars is his end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At Amir's command, the orc apprentice priest Xiao Hei activated the head of the magic power vehicle.
"Woooooo
With a long whistle, the magic energy train composed of the head of the magic energy power locomotive and thirty carriages slowly started with the sound of "clang, clang", heading towards the dungeon.
These thirty carriages are all simple carriages, with only a chassis and four wheels, and no cargo compartment, although simple, but only used to pull ingots is enough. Thirty carriages, each carriage can hold 60 tons of ingots, that is to say, one train can transport 2,000 tons of ingots!
The total length of the mining railway is thirty-two miles, and it can go back and forth twelve times a day at the speed of 40 miles per hour of the magic energy train, and the time for loading and unloading can be about six times a day, which means that it can transport more than 10,000 tons of ingots from the dungeon to the treasure bay in a day!
Of course, this is only theoretical data, and we have to try it to know what the actual situation is, but even so, this capacity is enough, after all, the amount of mining that half-orcs can mine in a day is limited - about three hundred tons, and it is enough to transport it once in three or four days.
"Technology is really the primary productive force, even if the orcs are ten times stronger than humans, they can't compare with professional mining machinery!" Chen Yu sighed helplessly, the output of the orcs was too low, causing most of the smelting blast furnaces in the dungeon to be shut down, this is a waste!
What's more, there are still seven smelting blast furnaces in Treasure Bay that have not been started, and one of them is a secondary blast furnace, which is a big waste and cannot be forgiven!
Chen Yu beckoned to Tasker and motioned for him to come over!
"My lord, what's the matter?" Tasker came to Chen Yu's side with a spring breeze on his face, just looking at his expression, even a fool knew that he must have encountered something happy. Of course, he had reason to be happy, because his daughter had become the mayor of a town, and she had completely compared the little pigman to Clyde, and this alone could make him happy for a long time, not to mention, it also meant that he was accepted by Chen Yu and became his own person - this is very important, and it is related to the number of beatings he will receive in the future!
"You put the matter of the whirling blade car aside first, concentrate on making a few excavators for mining first, and then study it when you have money!" Chen Yu said.
"I've wanted to tell you about this for a long time, since the alchemy city management can't come here, why don't we vigorously develop mining machinery? You must know that we now have 20 blast furnaces, but most of them are idle, and even if they are started, they are only running at low intensity, and they are far from reaching the upper limit! Tasker did the math and said, "I estimate that twenty blast furnaces can consume 40,000 tons of ore per day and produce about 20,000 tons of ingots if they are fully operational." But how many half-beasts can be collected? Less than a thousand tons a day, too far away! ”
"Forty thousand tons? Really? Chen Yu shook his head and said he didn't believe it, in the real world, the daily consumption of a large steelmaking plant is only that, and twenty blast furnaces that are not magnificent can be compared with a large steelmaking plant?
"Of course it's not possible at the moment, but if you can get enough source crystals, it's not difficult to reach this level!" Tasker said: "My lord, the magic energy machines you see now actually operate by absorbing the magic power between heaven and earth, once the source crystal is used, they will produce qualitative changes, such as your magic energy freighter, if it is driven by the source crystal, its speed can be increased by three times, this is the source crystal, it is so magical!" ”
"It seems...... There's one more reason to kill Duke Linhai! Although Chen Yu had long heard Tasker say that the source crystal was very important, he had always lacked an intuitive understanding of it, and until now, he didn't know that the original source crystal was so important that it could increase the production capacity three times at once! This undoubtedly strengthened his determination to kill the Duke of Linhai!
He said: "In that case, you should study the mining machinery first, as for the source crystal, if everything goes well, we will have it soon!"
―――――――――
A day later, after Tasker loaded the last piece of ore onto the magic energy freighter, with the sound of a "woo" whistle, the giant magic energy freighter shook, split the white waves, and slowly left the dock, heading towards the depths of the sea.
The only people who went to trade with Duke Linhai this time were Chen Yu and Tasker!
Amir stayed at home to look after the house, and arranged for the people who had come from the altar, and although two days had passed, no one came.
Clyde's task is even heavier, what he has to do now is to keep refining ordinary potions with pig hands and pig noses, and strive to get back his master-level experience as soon as possible, otherwise, where can Chen Yu find him ten materials to refine [Crushing Elixir]? Without the crushing potion, how could Chen Yu just pass the Duke of Linhai?
So Clyde was under a lot of pressure, and I heard that the fat had grown twenty pounds and was two millimeters taller - ahem, are you sure he was stressed, not happy?
The magic energy freighter is about 300 meters long and 55 meters wide, and in terms of displacement, it is already comparable to the largest aircraft carrier in the real world, and such a behemoth travels very smoothly on the sea, just like on land, and does not feel any bumps at all.
Chen Yu lost interest after driving the magic freighter for two hours - it was all a one-button fool operation, not challenging at all, he would not do this kind of boring thing, and after putting Tuskla on the bridge, he returned to the lounge and went offline.
The distance from Treasure Bay to Linhai City is more than two thousand miles, and it will take at least two days to reach it at the speed of a magic energy freighter, so he plans to take advantage of this time to deal with some trivial things in life, such as teasing Xiao Ruirui and accompanying his parents.
Two days later, Chen Yu went online again, he glanced at the sea wave after wave, and asked suspiciously, "Tasker, how far is it from Linhai City?" How do I feel that the waves are so much higher than before? Strangely, it's not very windy right now! ”
"Uh...... This one...... This, ha! Tasker couldn't speak.
Chen Yu suddenly had a bad premonition when he saw this!
