Chapter 139: The Factory
Aside from these useless boasts, the current situation is that the kingdom of Novaya Zemlya has begun to frequently swing its land warships on the side close to Remiret, which seems to be beginning to show off its strength. Novaya Zemlya is separated from the mainland by a strait, and the kingdom on the other side is still above them, because it is closer to the Duchy of Belken, it has more advanced and huge warships in the arms competition, and the barbarians of the Novaya Zemlya Kingdom alone still dare not provoke the mainland kingdom. However, this did not prevent them from trying to bring under their name the more "inferior" barbarians, the natives of Remiret, which the Kingdom of Novaya Zemllya had been trying to occupy for at least two hundred years.
Now that there are new weapons, it is natural that the ambition to occupy the island of Remilet is once again burning. The kings of the Novaya Zemlya Kingdom have tried several times in history, and they have also occupied the deep harbor for a period of time, but they are no match for the centaur cavalry that assaults in formation. And all attempts to penetrate the island of Remiret only made the monsters along the way eat their stomachs, and in the end the logistics could not be maintained, and after spending a lot of money on the treasury, they retreated. But now Novaya Zemlya is once again full of confidence, "As long as you can send land warships to the other side!" This idea has become a consensus in the upper echelons of the kingdom.
Zhou Zhongmou is not interested in the ambition over there, this guy is now studying with great interest how to build a land battleship to play with - there is no breakthrough in muscle research, and it is time to change his mood and build a large model to play with. There is no need to worry about the shell of the battleship, there are many metal ores and large beetle shells and even large monster shells on Remirete Island. The only thing that needs to be done is how to soften them into the right material to shape. As for the steam furnace of the magic alchemy, there are better guys in Zhou Zhongmou's memory. The pinnacle of piston steam engines - three-rise steam engines. It's a little easier to achieve such a machine in this world than it is on Earth. At the very least, the materials that can be obtained are much more powerful than those on Earth. The difficulty of processing is also lower than that of the same period on the earth, at least with things like precision lathes with mental power control, it is not too difficult to make a three-rise furnace. But of course, he still has to start with a small experiment, as a half-baked enthusiast of steampunk and a top student of science and engineering in college, Zhou Zhongmou's memory has been quite improved after crossing - this shows that he can still recall the schematic diagram of the three-rise steam engine and some simple furnace engineering drawings more clearly - at that time, it was also studied out of fun and learning motivation, and now it has become valuable information.
Once a person has something to indulge in, that time flies quickly. Zhou Zhongmou is also living a full life now, and when he gets up in the morning, he first sees if the ball has grown up, and then pounces into the real room to start building a model of a steam engine. Next, depending on the situation, I randomly played with Misha, and then after eating, I continued to study the bottomless pit of artificial muscles, of course, sometimes I paid attention to the preparation of new materials, and spent the evening in the research while Misha - of course, the research at this time was full of cranky thoughts, and most of the brains would be torn off after reading it the next day. However, as time passed, a delicate model triple booster was completed after all, and the next step was to try to start it after filling it with water and fuel. "Alas, it's already the age of brains, gunpowder, and steel, I didn't expect that I finally had such a strong beast form, and it has only been a long time, and I would have been outdated - if it weren't for the magic protection of this land. I'm afraid it's really going to be over. This was Zhou Zhongmou's exclamation before the start, in fact, he sighed too early - the firepower on the land warships and airships today has not yet reached the level of Cheng Dรน that can effectively kill those large monsters on Remilet Island. However, Zhou Zhongmou is a man who has read the history of the earth, and he has seen the next hundred years
The three-rise steam engine was in motion, and the connecting rod raised a weight and then dropped and raised again. Zhou Zhongmou looked at the crystallization of this earth's technology, and watched this thing be used until the fuel ran out without failing, "If you want to say that the biological materials in this world are really desirable! Light, high-temperature resistant, and strong, there is no such material on the earth in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries at least." "Now that it has been proven successful, of course, it is necessary to work quickly, but now the problem is that the construction of land warships is a big project, and the backyard of a mere house will definitely not be able to be done, so it is necessary to find a place.
Fortunately, the current Zhou Zhongmou is also considered to be a local great elder, and it is not a casual thing to say that he wants a vacant land-not to mention the use Zhou Zhongmou also said that it is to build a land warship for fun, and many dragon clans have also expressed interest, so the action will be faster. It didn't take long for a large clearing to be carved out of the periphery of the Dragonman settlement. A number of skilled dragonmen took to work, directing their clansmen and adventurers hired from the other half of the city to begin leveling the foundations, digging trenches, and piling up thick blocks of wood and stone. Zhou Zhongmou personally commanded the construction of a blast furnace with fired clay, and this time the building will use metal materials to act as the main body of the structure - there are no stamping machines and rolling machines, but many dragons have a good body and a good strength, and Zhou Zhongmou is ready to rely on a hundred pounds of sledgehammer to solve these problems of steel and steel structures.
The turtle is not dirty, and the combat effectiveness is 5. Of course, the dragon people may not need to meet this, but the Tufa Shangma is still able to exert unimaginable combat effectiveness. These dragonmen relied on their tall bodies -- standing at least four or five meters high, and smashing with a huge force of hundreds of kilograms of sledgehammers! They smashed out steel beams one by one, and as for rivets and screws, they could still be solved by importing manufactured products from the Duchy of Belken. In this way, a group of larger dragonmen expertly smashed the steel blocks of the furnace on one side, while the adventurers and other dragonmen leveled the ground and dug pits, waterproof materials were constantly laid in the pits, and the limestone on the mountain was fired into simple cement, which was then mixed with sand and mixed with water, and then poured into the reinforced foundation. As for Zhou Zhongmou himself, after solving the blast furnace, he once again devoted himself to the research work, and the work on the construction site was handed over to those dragon men who liked to build and those who were keen to exercise their muscles.
The level of alchemy research of the dragon people is actually not as good as those humans on the continent, which Zhou Zhongmou already knew when he read the newspaper. These guys basically study this out of a hobby, although there is also communication with each other, but there is a considerable difference compared to humans being able to cooperate in large-scale research work, so many alchemical miracles are developed by humans first - the most obvious example is the magic alchemy train, the dragon people began to study alchemy hundreds of years ago, but they didn't study the magic train this kind of thing, or the alchemists of the Duchy of Belken studied it. The alchemy of the dragon people is only more advanced than that of the mainland in terms of some cold weapons and those armor with strange aesthetics strengthened by alchemy (to be continued......
