Chapter 340: Adults, Times Are Changing

Douluo Continent is likely to skip the first industrial revolution directly, enter the second one, and enter the era of electrical appliances, or even the unique soul guide industrial revolution era of Douluo Continent!

If you say that without any reference, it is absolutely impossible to directly create this soul guide engine and generator within half a year.

But Xia Ling gave them a large number of books on magic circles, physics, and mechanical principles for reference.

The researchers only need to change it to a mode that suits the flow of soul power, and the principle is the same.

For example, the Soul Guide Generator.

It is nothing more than using soul energy to drive the rotor to rotate, driving the rotor, which acts as a conductor, to cut a fixed magnetic field called the stator.

The mechanical structure can be copied, and the energy circuit can be used by modification.

This greatly shortens the progress of research and development.

Summer Lingzhu resisted her excitement and barely calmed down.

"I paid out of my own pocket, and all the members who participated in this project had their salaries doubled this month. The soul guide engine and soul guide generator are all calculated according to the gold-level research results! I'll personally pay out of my own pocket and double the bonus for you! ”

When the deputy heard this, he was instantly overjoyed.

Triple the winnings, that's a lot of money.

And there's also a bonus for [gold] level research results, which is too comfortable.

This so-called grading system for research results was created by Xia Ling in order to encourage the enthusiasm of the researchers of the Martial Spirit Research Institute.

According to the color of the soul ring: [Gold], [Orange], [Red], [Black], [Purple], [Yellow], [White].

Gold is the highest, and white is the lowest.

Each grade has very strict assessment requirements.

Of course, the higher the rating, the higher the bonus.

"Director, you see that we are doing so well, is the research funding ...... this quarter?"

"Double! Double it all! If there is a problem with the logistics department, he asked him to come to me directly! ”

Xia Ling waved his hand and directly approved a note.

"Okay, long live the director!"

The deputy cheered.

With more money, they will be able to do more experiments.

"Don't be happy just yet, can this thing be mass-produced now? How about the manufacturing cost? ”

Xia Ling pressed the excited deputy.

The deputy also realized that he was a little out of shape and hurriedly suppressed his ecstasy.

"Converter steelmaking is limited by technical reasons, we can't do it yet, but since we have the soul guide heating system, the mines controlled by our Wuhun Hall have all been changed to open-hearth steelmaking. The quality of the steel produced in this way is much better than that of the iron and iron mother forged by blacksmiths, and the production of steel has also increased dramatically. Blacksmiths no longer have to spend a lot of repetitive manual labor forging the finished metal. ”

"The steel produced by our large-scale smelting can fully meet the strength needs of machine manufacturing through mold casting. However, the materials of large machinery, such as the engine that can drive thousands of tons of trains, still require craftsmen to forge thousands of wrought metals by hand to have sufficient strength. ”

"Ordinary materials will explode under the impact of a large amount of soul power, and there are great safety risks."

"This kind of large engine requires blacksmiths to forge and hand-forge parts, and it takes about half a month to build one."

"Of course, if it's a small machine, you only need to let the soul master engrave the formation circuit on the reserved internal structure after casting the parts. Including assembly and commissioning, it only takes about a few hours, which is extremely fast. ”

Xia Ling nodded, knowing in his heart.

"Okay, I got it. Based on the current soul-guided engine as the prototype, we will design supporting industrial facilities such as power hammers, punches, and drilling machines as soon as possible. ”

"Agricultural machinery should also be paid attention to, such as harvesters and walk-behind tractors. The agricultural team led by Old Jack has made breakthroughs one after another, and the output of grain will usher in a surge next year, and the supporting facilities must keep up. ”

"We also need to put industrialization and automation on the agenda as soon as possible, and replace a lot of heavy and tedious manual labor with machines."

"By the way, have you found a rubber or a replacement for it?"

"Uh...... Not yet. ”

The deputy scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"We are extremely understaffed, you know. Later, I have to divide a few people to give lectures to the new royal family, which is even more ......."

Xia Ling didn't get angry, but comforted: "It's okay, there may be no rubber trees on the Douluo Continent at all, it's not your fault." Since you haven't found it yet, let's put it first, leave one or two people to continue experimenting, and the rest of the people will focus on the design of the train first, which is the most important thing. ”

"In the next few years, I will start to reform the education industry again, and then I will make what I taught you a few years ago higher education, and what I started to do will be compulsory. At that time, you will all have to take on the responsibility of teachers, and in a few years, the members of the science and technology department of our institute will also usher in a blowout. ”

It is a bit embarrassing that no rubber trees were found.

Douluo Continent is not more modern than modern, with smooth asphalt roads.

There are no rubber tires and hydraulic rods, and only spring shock absorption.

On rugged dirt roads and wastelands, off-road for more than ten kilometers, it can't tear people upside down.

Anyway, judging from the current needs of the Wuhun Palace, there is no need for such a thing as ordinary vehicles, but trains that do not need rubber tires are more popular.

After having the train, the Wuhun Hall can raise the speed of both the delivery speed of the ordinary army and the speed of cargo transportation to another level.

"I'm relieved to have your words." The deputy laughed.

"Rest assured on the train, we've been following up. The first draft is already available, and the core of the soul guide engine is needed, and it can be put into trial operation after the rails are erected. Counting the process of erecting the rails, at most one year, we can definitely get the first train running on the Douluo Continent! ”

After all, it's not designed from scratch.

With a mature design for reference, the shipment is fast.

The researchers of the Martial Soul Research Institute only need to consider the use of materials and the adaptation of the soul guide engine.

The appearance of the first train within a year is by no means an empty phrase.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, you are all the pillars cultivated by the Martial Spirit Palace, don't let me down."

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

......

Summer Ling, who came home from Yoyo Da, was in a very good mood, and even whistled when he instructed the Titan to forge.

After coming to the Douluo Continent for more than ten years, he has finally taken the first step to change the continent.

It was not in vain that not long after he entered the Martial Spirit Palace, he saved money and exchanged some modern books for cultivating talents.

Mainly thanks to Qian Renxue, he saved him a lot of the power of fate.

Now, isn't the return on this upfront investment coming?

Without these people, I would have to smash the steam engine to death.

Moreover, thanks to a certain researcher, he accidentally used the extract of a unique plant on the Douluo Continent to create a far better ink than ink in an experiment.

Xia Ling simply named it Caomo.

The drying speed is fast, the gloss is good, and the adhesion strength is strong.

It can fully meet the needs of mass printing.

The textbooks for the upcoming educational reform were printed with this ink.

Once the building was recovered, the next thing to do was to set up a newspaper.

As a force that wants to unify the entire continent, how can it be done without mastering the big killer weapon of public opinion?

What's more, the two empires of Heaven Dou and Xingluo basically have no means to control public opinion.

If the Martial Spirit Hall doesn't master it, I'm sorry for this environment.

Not only the above, but also the glass factory is in full swing.

It's just that there is still some time before the official large-scale production.

Xia Ling didn't call Dugu Bo over, nor did he rush to find Yang Invincible, and the reason was here.

If you want to conduct scientific and rigorous chemical experiments, microscopes, a large number of test tubes, distillation flasks and other experimental equipment are indispensable.

Xia Ling, who didn't have time to make these for the time being, had to throw some introductory books on biology and chemistry to Dugu Bo and let him study them on his own first.

By the way, I also brought a lone goose.

The Martial Soul Research Institute also needs to be further renovated and expanded.

With the soul guide engine, the ventilation system can be greatly enhanced, and the space inside the mountain can be further widened and deepened.

At the same time, elevators, mechanical gates, above-ground office buildings, above-ground research areas, etc. should be installed.

In order to facilitate the transportation of materials and finished products of the Wuhun Research Institute in the future, it is also to pull the economy of Wuhun City to take off again.

A large number of cement roads and railways extending in all directions also need to be built.

If you want to get rich, you have to masturbate first......

Build the road first!

As a result, previously purchased timber mills, cement mills, rolling mills, steel mills and other factories also need to be modernized or rebuilt.

As for the most important military factories......

In terms of the various hidden weapons and modified hidden weapons that the Wuhun Hall has hoarded over the years, this thing is the least anxious.

Just a few assembly lines can be slowly hoarded first, no more.

In addition to mass production of plate armor and Zhuge God crossbows at the peak of cold weapons, and all kinds of crossbow arrows, there is really nothing to manufacture.

The casting process produces the special crossbow arrows of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and it is good to make a lot of them a day.

Originally, the blacksmiths in the logistics department were still a little apprehensive about producing crossbow arrows of this scale.

Don't worry about it now!

Thanks to the ridiculously rich mineral resources of the Douluo Continent.

That's almost as many as the fixed refresh points in the game!

With the power hammer and the furnace steelmaking method, even the most expensive knight's plate armor could be produced in batches.

The defensive power configuration at the peak of the Cold Weapon Era is now a pure basic set in the army of the Wuhun Palace.

There is a famous saying about rabbits, how do you say it?

If you are poor, tactics are interspersed, and when you are up, you will blow up Lao Tzu.

Now the ordinary army of Wuhun Hall is equipped with two Zhuge Divine Crossbows, and they are also the enhanced version of Zhuge Divine Crossbows in the later stage of the original text.

The kind that can kill the Soul King.

However, Xia Ling still felt that it was not enough.

The ancestral phobia of lack of firepower always made him want to stock up a little more, a little more.

It's best to even have two sets of Duchy troops secretly controlled by the Wuhun Palace.

On the gunpowder side.

It's really not that Xia Ling doesn't want to ignite gunpowder technology, it's really unnecessary.

Not to mention the hard work of development, before there was no complete set of industrial system, this thing was really not as cost-effective as Zhuge crossbow.

Gunpowder is still a niche thing in Douluo Continent.

Even a big force like Doraemon, the Wuhun Palace, doesn't even have its own saltpeter pit.

The main thing is that it is not used when it is mined.

Secondly, it is a troublesome matter to produce enough black powder and supporting firearms to equip more than 10,000 people.

Even the simplest American flintlock pistol or thunder canister takes a skilled gunsmith about ten days to make.

The time to make one of these things is enough for an ordinary blacksmith to build seven or eight Zhuge shooting crossbows.

Or the kind that starts with iron ore and hammers and hammers.

Front-loading gunpowder weapons are still a lot of trouble, not to mention rear-loading firearms that need to be equipped with the ammunition manufacturing industry system.

When you find a saltpeter mine in the future, you can get a few cannons to play with.

Although hidden weapons are not as powerful as gunpowder weapons, they are not powerful enough to make up for them.

The number of all kinds of crossbow arrows is absolutely large.

In case of indecision, there are two volleys first.

If that doesn't solve the problem, do it four more rounds.

An army of 100,000 people, two Zhuge crossbows per person.

Three shots by one person is 48 bursts, double is 96, and 100,000 people together is 9.6 million.

Except that the crossbow bolts inside are a little more expensive, there is nothing wrong with anything else.

Anyway, it can be recycled, and it doesn't matter if it's expensive.

What?

What is the melee weapon used for, you ask?

Nonsense, of course, it is used to mend knives and defend oneself when cleaning the battlefield!

And isn't it handsome to hold a knight's sword?

Justifiably .jpg

As for those high-end secret weapons, such as the Peacock Feather and the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle, Xia Ling didn't even think about making them.

Buddha was angry, Tang Lian waited for Tang San's kid to come to work, but he could try to make a few.

Now there are only two kinds of hidden weapons that the Wuhun Hall is mainly attacking.

Zhuge God crossbow, the son and mother chase the soul and take the courage to kill.

The former is equipped with an army of ordinary people.

The latter is equipped for the Soul Master Legion.

In the original book, Dugu Bo's dream has come true, and now he can really take one hundred and eighty to go out and be chic.

Xia Ling did give him a lot to play with.

After all, the cost of this thing is not high, and it is not difficult to make, just like a small gas bomb.

There are probably more than 10,000 pairs in the arsenal.

Not a lot.

The main reason is that the poison inside the soul chasing and killing gall needs to be manually synthesized by the soul master, and the efficiency is slightly lower.

There are also not so many raw materials for poisons.

Otherwise, Xia Ling wanted to make him a hundred and eighty thousand, and dozens of people would throw them to play.

After the arsenal of the logistics department is completed, it can be used to produce parts in batches by casting method, and this thing can be directly mass-produced.

It's a big deal, don't be poisonous, just be a little grenade.

Blow up the other side!

But well......

There are really more things to do, which makes Summer Spirit feel a little distressed.

Well......

The agony of happiness.

There are too many technologies exploding at once, and I don't know which one is better to repair first.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step, and you can't be in a hurry.

It is foreseeable that in the next ten years or even decades, the Wuhun Hall will be transformed into an infrastructure madness to build and manufacture frantically.

Tiandou and Xingluo frantically hoarded troops and food, and co-opted the soul masters of the sect to deal with possible crises.

Wuhun Hall is immersed in hard work in science and technology, revolutionizing education, fighting propaganda, building factories, training workers, building wonders, and improving productivity.

We all have a bright future.

(Convinced)

Something strange seems to have been mixed in.

But it doesn't matter!

The Titans, who were working hard to forge metal, seemed to feel this wonderful feeling.

This forging went extremely smoothly, and he had successfully forged his first piece of 1,000 forged metal.

Unlike the immersion silver forged by the Summer Spirit, the Titan forged the heavier tungsten steel after sublimation.

1000 forged tungsten steel, the volume is reduced by one-third, the strength is increased by 200 percent, and the weight is increased by 30 percent.

After the Blood Sacrifice, the Thousand Forged Tungsten Steel, with the help of the Summer Spirit, the Titans forged it into a pair of forging hammers overnight.

As the so-called first thousand forging metal blood sacrifice must be guaranteed.

Titan's tungsten steel hammer has a vibrator effect that makes it easier for him to obtain outside energy when performing a metal ascension.

It is also a very practical special effect for a blacksmith like him who is growing up.

The next morning.

Old Jack rarely postponed his daily research on agriculture.

The main purpose is to instruct Xia Ling and Zhu Zhuqing to say a few words.

This trip to the Star Luo Empire is not only to find a building in the metal capital, but also to go to the Star Luo Empire.

The marriage contract on Zhu Zhuqing must be completely resolved.

Quickly cut through the mess, and quickly solved this matter, and I was happy.

Otherwise, this has always been a thorn in the hearts of Zhu Zhuqing and Xia Ling.

"Hey, Brother Jack, don't worry. If that bullshit Netherworld Grand Duke dares to disagree, the old ghost and I will give them all sharks and promise to eradicate all problems. ”

Ju Douluo leaned against the door frame and said the most murderous words in the most charming tone.

If you don't agree with each other, you will slaughter others.

In the name of the Martial Spirit Palace, going to the Netherworld Family, pomp and circumstance are naturally indispensable.

Therefore, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo also followed justifiably.

Who let the two of them have the closest relationship with Xia Ling in the Title Douluo of the Martial Spirit Palace.

The two Super Douluo were present, were they moved?

Don't say that our Martial Spirit Hall doesn't give face to your family!

Ghost Douluo also held his arms and nodded.

"Lao Ju is right, it's a big deal for us to solve the problem at the source."

Over the years, he has treated Xia Ling like his own grandson, and whoever dares to have an opinion will be the first to disagree.

The Titan, who had been waiting next to the carriage in advance, heard this, and felt a lot of scorn in his heart.

The two Super Douluo plus the Holy Son of the Martial Spirit Hall were present in person, who would dare not give face to this matter.

If you don't give face, I'm afraid it's not the old birthday star who hangs himself.

In this case, a group of five people plus two coachmen sat in two carriages, and under the leadership of the Titans, they set off for Gengxin City, where the headquarters of the Continental Blacksmiths Association was located.
