Chapter 348: The Industrial Revolution

With the completion of the fractionation of oil, many things began to emerge from the various alchemical laboratories, starting with the internal combustion engine developed by Maier and Hind and Kochakin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared to steam engines, internal combustion engines have very big advantages.

First of all, it is light in weight and small in size, which means that the equipment that used to use the steam engine will be greatly reduced in the part of the energy supply after the use of the internal combustion engine.

In turn, the volume of the entire alchemy apparatus will be reduced.

This is very beneficial for the transportation and movement of alchemy equipment, for example, the current steam car, if the internal combustion engine is used, it can be more convenient and flexible.

Moreover, the internal combustion engine does not need to add combustibles at all times, these are all automatically controlled, and when the fuel in the combustion furnace burns to a certain level, there will be a magic array to control the new fuel to enter.

This is where liquid fuels have an advantage over solid fuels.

Moreover, the combustion efficiency of the internal combustion engine is much higher than that of the steam engine, and the same volume of fuel can be used in the internal combustion engine for more time than in the steam engine.

This reduces the frequency of new fuel.

When the internal combustion engine was developed, the Bruce Society immediately studied its stability, and when it passed, it was immediately put into use.

The old steam engine began to be phased out, and the internal combustion engine came to the stage of history.

Diesel trains, automobiles, these two things were the first to be applied, and the feedback was good.

Compared to the steam engine, when using the internal combustion engine, the speed of these two vehicles becomes faster and the operation becomes more stable, because the combustion of the internal combustion engine is smoother.

The paving of the road surface also began to massively use petroleum products, asphalt.

In the beginning, there were generally two ways to produce a smooth pavement, the first was that ordinary people roughened the pavement, and then the magician processed it to smooth the pavement.

But the number of mages is limited, and it is impossible to put a lot of energy into leveling the road, not to mention that the leveling of the road surface is not of much benefit to the mage.

The second is to take the way of paving stones, which requires a lot of stone, the price of stone is not low, and it is a big trouble to move, even if there is a train.

Therefore, this method is destined to be used only in the city.

Moreover, the pavement paved with stone slabs is actually very easy to damage, and maintenance is also a big problem.

But with asphalt, it is not so troublesome, and ordinary people can make it smooth, and the asphalt is mixed with small stones, which is even better than the pavement effect of stone slabs.

Hardness is insufficient, but toughness is more.

In addition, the cost of asphalt is much smaller than that of slate, and it can be laid outside the city.

The difficulty of repair is also much lower than that of slate.

The Blues Society set up a road department and decided to renovate the roads throughout Philimpoos, starting at Pige City and continuing to the border between the other two countries and the coastline.

There are only a few magicians in this road department, who are responsible for road planning and construction plans, and the specific implementation is done by ordinary people.

After all, not many magicians are willing to join in this kind of work.

But ordinary people are different, first of all, the repair of roads is very beneficial to ordinary people, because whether it is a horse-drawn carriage or a new car, they prefer smooth roads.

In addition, repairing roads will create a large number of jobs, and the pay of these jobs is not low for ordinary people, and it is the desire of many civilians to be able to obtain such an additional income.

With the construction of the road, the whole of Philimpoos set off an unprecedented revolutionary construction.

Roads within cities, roads between cities, longer railroad tracks, cars replacing horse-drawn carriages, trains increasing their speeds, and alchemy factories running constantly.

Mel didn't put much effort into this, but after providing some drawings of alchemical equipment to his two assistants in the laboratory, he devoted himself to the study of electricity.

For Meyer, oil can play a role that can be achieved by electricity.

In the previous life, because of the inconvenience of electric energy storage, oil was still the main thing in many places, but with the passage of time and the development of the times, oil will sooner or later withdraw from the stage of history.

Because its reserves are limited.

But this world is different, there is no problem with the storage of electrical energy, and the energy that can be stored by the Electro Elemental Stone is far more than that of petroleum products.

And because the output voltage of the Elemental Stone is controllable, there is no problem in terms of power.

Cars and even trains can use Electro Elemental Stones as a source of energy.

But Maier is more interested in the game world now, which is a virtual world created by Maier himself, but the things in it are not perfect enough, and Maier needs to be further transformed.

And to be honest, whether it's oil or electricity, it has very little effect on Myr, because those things can be achieved with magic.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year passes quietly.

Lily has become a second-level magician, mainly due to Myer's game world, where Lily cultivates even harder than in the real world.

Little Lauren finally became an official magician and entered the game world.

At the same time, the oil revolution in the outside world has almost entered a plateau.

The major cities have almost all completed road modifications, and the interior of the city is all asphalt, and the outside, between cities, there are also wide asphalt roads with cars running on them.

The price of the car was not very high, so the horse-drawn carriage basically withdrew from the stage of history.

There is no trace of a train in the city anymore, and instead it is a kind of tram, which is powered by the Elemental Stone of Electricity, and does not carry a lot of passengers, but it is enough for a city.

After all, the cities of this world are not as large as those in Maier's previous life.

Trains have become a bridge between cities, and their speed and cargo capacity are much stronger than cars.

All kinds of strange electrical appliances also surfaced, such as refrigerators, such as air conditioners, these are all products that alchemists have inadvertently created and used in the lives of ordinary people.

Of course, magicians use some of them as well.

These things were all expected by Maier, because after pairing them with magic, it was not too difficult to make them, and the only thing that surprised Maier was the birth of the radio station.

Radio, when he saw this, Maier felt that he was underestimating the observation and creativity of the magicians. (To be continued.) )
