Chapter 245: Obsession and Sudden Change

"The whale oil power revolution?"

Byron and Violet repeated the word in unison.

In lingua franca grammar, this is an awkward-sounding combination that needs to be explained to figure out what it means.

But the two of them don't need to.

In this world, no one knows better than them what is called the new energy power revolution.

The two of them are at the forefront of the times, single-handedly building the torrent fortress of the industrial city, and preparing to build a set of industrial pioneers of the future industrial system from scratch.

Technology and civilization are graded according to the standards of Byron's previous life, based on the level of energy used.

The most important manifestation of the promotion of civilization is the promotion of the total energy level dominated by human beings!

This is true in both the mortal world and the transcendent world.

From the agricultural civilization that used animal power, to the first and second generation of scientific and technological civilization that used steam and electricity, and then to the predictable fusion nuclear energy, the development of Byron in the previous life has confirmed this.

As long as they have access to sufficient energy, many of the technological bottlenecks below the energy ceiling will no longer be an obstacle to development.

"It's just that what surprised me was that this new energy that conformed to the development trend of the world and suddenly ran out turned out to be whale oil.

The Leviathan whale is said to have a huge head and a massive size.

Even ordinary individuals are very close in size to a small sea monster with a body length of 30 meters.

However, because they only eat small fish, small shrimp and other miniature creatures, they are not at a high level of the food chain, and naturalists have deduced that they have extremely large numbers.

It was first discovered by Melville, a whaler captain of the Monster Hunter profession in the wilderness sequence, on the edge of the Equitena Triangle.

In the years that followed, it was occasionally caught, and the remarkable properties of this whale oil gradually became known to some craftsmen.

Unfortunately, the catch was always too small, and most of the whale oil they produced went to the Lighthouse Federation for ocean exploration, in addition to being used for research.

Until now, it has been difficult to form large-scale whale catching and whale oil production because whaling ships cannot penetrate deep into the sea of monsters.

But if this kind of whale does have a large-scale aggregation in the 'celestial circulation', maybe we can indeed embark on an alternative path of bio-new energy technology. ”

According to the habitual thinking of the previous life, Byron and Violet imagined coal, oil, and electricity together, but they didn't think about the whale oil that can be found everywhere.

According to [Blue Hair], it seems that there is indeed a lot to be done.

Whale oil powered factories, whale oil powered warships, and whale oil powered public transportation are energy-efficient, pollution-free, renewable, and extraordinary, and they are simply perfect new energy.

At this time, Violet suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out the nautical chart that she had snatched from the [Bone-eating Clown] Kraskin.

Asked Bluehair:

"Is this one of the mutilated charts that my father gave you?"

This picture was originally stolen by Kraskin from the Barbary pirates, and Hairing is naturally no stranger to it.

And seeing that the broken route above had been marked completely, he immediately stepped forward and stared wide-eyed:

"It's already made up?!

The celestial circulation is covered in fog all year round, and is full of dangerous broken islands, monsters, sea monsters, and the grotesques of evil gates.

Not to mention the windless belt that kills invisibly.

It's extremely difficult to explore.

Even with this nautical chart, it took us several years to find the place marked as a 'bridgehead'.

At one point, the interior even wondered if it had been deceived by the [Whale Hunter].

How did you finish the charts? Or did Jack Harold leave you a complete nautical chart? So why do you even ask me? ”

When they heard this, Byron and Violet already knew the idea.

glanced at each other, and instantly understood what the other party thought:

"Thankfully, we didn't intend to go straight to a bridgehead from the start.

There's certainly a lot of danger there!

The tainted anomaly on Kraskin's body is most likely not only from the [Frolicking Clown], but also from the underwater crisis of the bridgehead.

The 'Luo Annihilation' calendar, which sounds like a wet calendar, really doesn't look like a human invention.

In the eyes of whale hunters, Barbary Pirates and Pirate King [Oceanic Throne] are eighty percent a pathfinder with enough weight to clear obstacles for subsequent human exploration. ”

Their reasoning is simple.

If there are only benefits, how can the [Whale Hunters] not hide and leave it to their own family?

There is a high probability that the whale oil power is real, but it must be smashed with a stinger on the outside before it can be eaten in the mouth.

Only an epoch-making resource like whale oil can give explorers enough motivation.

When he first set out from Riptide Fortress, Byron sighed:

"Although the Sapphire Sea is far less dangerous than the Sea of Monsters, it is not a place where ordinary merchant ships with weak firepower dare to set foot in it.

At least not until the expedition ships establish new colonies and explore a relatively safe sea route.

If they could find spices on the New World, or specialties of higher value, then no obstacle would be an obstacle.

Even the fireballs and sharp knives in the sky will definitely not stop the colonists from going forward and succeeding (Chapter 215). ”

And the whale oil of the Leviathan whale is obviously the kind of specialty treasure that can make people crazy!

The Whale Hunter throws out a fragrant bait and an ambiguous nautical chart.

For the Barbary Pirates, the bait is fragrant enough and seems to be within reach, so why not try it if you try hard?

[The Whale Hunter] clearly knows a thing or two about human nature.

He achieved his goal not by cooperation agreement, but by the greed of the human heart.

Once there is a target of high enough value, not only the Barbary pirates, but also the various forces of the entire Old World will concentrate their efforts on hearing the news.

Byron thought of this, and another doubt came to his mind:

"The whalers are clearly deliberately accelerating the pace of overseas exploration by the major powers, artificially driving the tide of the Age of Discovery.

But what good does it do him? ”

Glancing at his [Logbook], he saw that the title page clearly read:

"It has been said that we live on a calm island called Ignorance, surrounded by an endless black ocean.

Maybe it shouldn't have been set sail in the first place!

But we had to do so (Chapter 2). ”

Comparing the two, Byron came to a conclusion:

"This shows that overseas exploration will lead to some bad things, but if you don't do it, you may lead to even worse things.

Whale hunter Jack Harold pursued the same philosophy.

The whale oil power revolution that can create a new era is just a by-product of this exploration process, and it is still not worth stopping his exploration.

The opposite is clearly the church.

An entire dark millennium has been a total suppression of the spirit of exploration, the spread of civilization, and any technological innovation, like a turtle that has retracted its head into its shell.

Adopting an ultra-conservative strategy to avoid something.

The two routes, who is right and who is wrong, may be the key to determining whether the people of Wanwan can be revived. ”

At this point, one of their most important goals in entering Treasure Island: to get the news of the whale hunter from [Blue-Haired] Helding has finally been achieved.

There was also an unexpected harvest of explosive frontier intelligence on the New World and the whale oil power revolution.

The next step of the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trading Company and Fort Riptide will also need to be adjusted simultaneously.

If others had already started to tackle whale oil technology, and they were still working there to produce coal steam engines, I am afraid that they would really want to cry without tears at that time.

That's the importance of intelligence orientation and poor information.

Standing at the forefront of the Bantaan Islands and the New World, their industrial footprint could be at least three to five years ahead of the Old World.

At this time, the "bald" Hairding looked at Byron's face and said cautiously:

"Mr. Wild Hunt, you don't want to draw my brother's wrath, do you?

Why don't we sign a non-aggression pact, and that is the end of the matter? ”

Byron suddenly scoffed:

"What did you do earlier?"

casually threw Helding, who was still tied up by the flowers, into the border constructed by the [Overseas Exploration Order], and asked the marines inside to watch carefully.

He had long seen through the essence of the spirit of contract.

In this world, when one side is strong and the other side is weak, the strong side never speaks well.

And the so-called spirit of contract is that when the balance of power is restored, the original strong party has to sit down and negotiate.

When the balance of power is re-imbalanced, the so-called contract is immediately a piece of waste paper.

At the same time, the ink on the logbook was blurred.

[Hidden: Prophecy, Kingship, and the Hunting God's Horden's Prophecy of Racial Revival, Historical Influence 69] Density jumped from 28% to 33%.

[Hidden: The Shadow Behind the Red and White Rose War, Influence 31] solution density has also advanced from 63% to 68%.

Byron withdrew his gaze from the journal, and the image of the pirate king he had never met in his heart was a little fuller:

"I can't even care about my own tribe and my young daughter, and I insist on going to sea.

What is the Pirate King [Whale Hunter] who is dedicated to hunting those 'whales'?

And the big secret that has enough influence to subvert the world, as well as the clues to the disappearance of the Pirate King, I am afraid that it is hidden in the remaining solution density. ”

But Byron was not only not intimidated, but became more and more determined to explore the unknown world and pursue the truth.

"The road is far away.

Just follow the footsteps of the whaler step by step, and even catch up with him, be the first to touch the boundaries of human cognition, and discover the secret of that revival prophecy.

This is the meaning of great voyages, great explorations, and great discoveries.

Standing on the shoulders of those who have come before me and striding forward, one day it will be my turn to be the pioneer! ”

The high fighting spirit drove the spiritual overflow that had already reached 10 o'clock, and clusters of blue light bloomed behind his head.

After opening the "Advanced Ritual Pirate Treasure Chest", he passed all the way, and now he is only one step away.

At this moment, "I am a pioneer" induces a transformation at the spiritual level, so that his ability in all aspects has quietly reached its peak.

Vaguely resonates with something in the labyrinth below.

Under the rules of "treasure hunting" and "like-sex attracting", the ground of the labyrinth shook again just like when Byron had just cut off his flesh.

And it's not like just a little shaking, but it's getting more and more intense.

It's as if something is constantly hitting the border between the second and third layers.

Andrew, the Skeleton Knight, floats directly into the air on tiptoe, completely unaffected by the earthquake.

Opening his mandible, he said with some doubts:

"What's going on?

That didn't happen the last time I visited.

What seems to have happened in the treasure cave at the bottom? Byron, you Byron?! ”

Suddenly turned his head, but found that the eldest nephew who was already standing beside him didn't know what was missing.

Disappeared together, along with Violet on the other side and Thomas, the first mate who had just run away during the fight and flew back after the fight.

"Not good!"

And they're not the only ones who have the unexpected.

In the entire labyrinth, all the second-order [pirates] who participated in the promotion ceremony of the "Pirate Treasure Chest", artists and poets with elegant temperaments disappeared under the noses of their companions.

This pattern seems to be implicitly in line with the selection criteria in the macaw's mouth.

But in addition, many contract fraudsters, profit-hungry people, lustful people, and gluttonous gluttons, who represent original sin, have all disappeared into the labyrinth.
