MTL - Online Game: Island War-Chapter 56 A world without oil

Five days later, the research center was officially inaugurated.

Still shining brightly, Lei Jiu still couldn't see how this building appeared.

For the advent of this research center, he postponed the study of Luo Zheng's wind-knife technique and the analysis of slime's tough skin.

The research center has a very modern name, but there are not many modern elements from the exterior of the building, it is more like a medieval castle in Europe.

The inside of the castle is not as cramped as the real castle, it is very bright and spacious, giving people a more atmospheric feeling than the outside. There are not many rooms, but each is very large. Some corners and corners of the castle are all arranged as air vents and observation decks.

The decoration of the room is very modern. Even if there are no precise instruments, it can make people feel that this is a very high-end research institution.

The lighting in the castle is soft and bright, without any harshness. After staring at the lamp above his head and studying it for a long time, Lei Jiu couldn't see what energy it was using, and it didn't feel like it was using electricity.

Lei Jiu found that on the outside, the system buildings rarely see modern elements, but the internal conditions are either more modern and fashionable, or the system directly uses black technology.

The entire research center is divided into two major parts, one is the comprehensive area of ​​technology, materials, electronics and machinery, and the other is energy and power.

Whether it is iron smelting or shipbuilding, whether it is a computer or an aircraft, it belongs to the first category.

The second category includes all energy-related science and technology, such as coal-burning steam power, oil-burning internal combustion thermal power, electric motors driven by electricity, nuclear power...

In the first-class area, Lei Jiu saw many brands, iron smelting technology area, steel-making technology area, copper smelting, aluminum smelting... The bright areas basically belong to the craft and material category.

The mechanical and electronic areas are dark and closed. Obviously, no entry is allowed now. It should be that some key technologies have not been activated.

For example, the blockade of the mechanical area should be related to the lack of breakthroughs in iron smelting and steel making technologies. The mechanical technology here should mainly refer to the modern and modern steel machinery industry.

It is better to understand that the electronic area has not been unlocked. Now, in his hands, he cannot even meet the technical requirements for making basic transistors, and the integrated circuit will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

It is foreseeable that it will be a long wait to open the blockade of this area. At least the power in terms of energy needs to be unlocked. What integrated circuits are there without electricity?

When he came to the energy power area, the steam power turned on, Lei Jiu wondered, with the current iron smelting and casting and sealing technology on the island, how could it possibly meet the research and development conditions of the steam engine?

In the past, I grabbed the biggest brand and read it over and over several times, steam engine: a reciprocating power machine that converts steam energy into mechanical work.

That's right, that's it. Could it be that there is a bug in the system?

Lei Jiu shook his head. Even if he suspected that something was wrong with his head, he would not suspect a bug in the system. There must be something to say here.

For some unknown reason, the system actually loosened the restrictions on the steam engine.

Look at the back of the steam engine, the steam turbine, although it is dark, you can already see the preconditions: steelmaking technology and steam engine.

that's it?

This is a steam turbine, not to mention its important role in industrial production and ships, but only with a steam turbine, a thermal power plant can be built!

Take a look at the research and development of the steam engine, you need to invest 10 gold coins every day, and the process takes a total of 500 days!

In less than a year and a half, with the cost of 5,000 gold coins, the steam technology was obtained. Is it difficult?

Of course it is not difficult. It can be said that it is too simple. After a year and a half, Lei Jiu does not know whether he can master the iron smelting technology or whether he can get the rubber used for sealing. It can be said that the system did not do anything to the steam engine at all what restrictions.

This is weird!

Looking further down, the electric energy area is very broad, many times larger than the steam engine area and the internal combustion engine area combined. After all, in modern times, people's research on electricity is very in-depth, and many ways to convert all kinds of energy in nature into electricity have been developed.

But Lei Jiu can't enter this area, so it's sealed!

Going further down, the nuclear energy area is still inaccessible, as expected.

Magic power zone, this one can enter!

Uh-huh? Hey?

Magic power zone?

And this kind of motivation? Lei Jiu said he was shocked!

There is only one sign in this area, spar furnace: a magic machine that extracts the energy from elements and magic spar and converts it into directly usable elements or magic energy.

R&D investment: 100 gold coins need to be invested every day, and the process will take a total of 10,000 days.

The investment in research and development is not uninterrupted. After all, sometimes, the capital turnover is unavoidable. So there is a setting of how many days in total, which means that players need to invest so many days in total to get this technology.

I'm a darling. For more than 27 years, I need a total of 1 million gold coins. It's scary!

Lei Jiu said that he could not afford the big project of 1 million yuan and was persuaded to quit by poverty.

Lei Jiu frowned after turning the entire energy and power area around, and then checked door to door more carefully. Even in areas where he couldn't enter, he lay on the door and looked carefully for a long time.

As a result, his brows became even tighter.

When he didn't see what he was looking for, Lei Jiu ran back to the material area and carefully touched it.

No?

Actually not?

There is no internal combustion engine, nor any petrochemical materials and process technology!

Why?

Could it be that there is no oil in the world of "Island War"?

I'll give it a go, right?

No oil?

Not to mention the driving problems of various vehicles, ships, airplanes and construction machinery, those petrochemical industry products alone affect our lives in all aspects.

It provides supporting services and services for agriculture, energy, transportation, machinery, electronics, textiles, light industry, construction, building materials and other industries and people's daily life, and occupies a pivotal position in the national economy.

Well, to be more specific, fertilizers, pesticides, plastics, asphalt, paraffin, paints, coatings, chemical building materials, synthetic rubber, synthetic resins, synthetic fibers, medicines, detergents, etc., of course, there are foods that many people hate additive.

Without oil, none of these things could be made!

Made... made?

By the way, there is also the road of man-made oil.

It's no wonder that Lei Jiuyi didn't think of it. In the 22nd century, the earth's land oil fields were exhausted, causing a period of turmoil, but it didn't take long for several large countries that had been prepared to find several large deep-sea oil fields one after another.

Especially those places where ancient continental shelves are suspected to have sunk, like the legendary submerged area of ​​Atlantis, are rich in oil reserves.

Until the year 2500, before Lei Jiu boarded the colony spacecraft, although it was said that the crisis of depletion of oil resources was imminent on the news every day, no chemical factory had really closed down.

After all, since the beginning of the 22nd century, all means of transportation have been electrified. Especially with the breakthrough of miniaturization of battery technology and nuclear conversion technology, the consumption of oil has dropped sharply.

For these reasons, artificial oil technology, which has been widely mentioned since the beginning of the 21st century, has not achieved breakthrough development after 500 years.

However, due to factors such as cost and environment, its application range is not very wide.

So Lei Jiu really didn't think about it just now.

Since the research center has no artificial oil technology and no petrochemicals, doesn't it mean that the system has no restrictions in this regard?

As long as Huanghuang Island can be researched, these technologies can be used directly? what!
