MTL - Online Game: Island War-Chapter 58 The era of steam

The working principle of the steam engine, the source of power, where does it come from?

After the water is heated and boiled into water vapor, the volume will expand extremely, 1557 times!

The high pressure generated by the rapid expansion of the volume will push the piston inside the steam engine to do mechanical movement, thereby generating power?

Now that the liquid state changes to a gas state and only expands three times its volume, how much pressure can it generate?

It is estimated that even if the piston lever cannot be pushed, what else can it drive?

Now I understand why the steam engine sells the price of cabbage, because once you enter the pit, after 16 months, you will find out that it is not even worth the price of cabbage......

In the same way, Lei Jiu doesn't need to rush to research artificial oil now, because the internal combustion engine has been castrated by this hateful world just like the steam engine.

As for the petrochemical industry, although there is still a head start, without the huge attraction of the internal combustion engine, Lei Jiu's power will not be so great. After all, artificial oil itself cannot be regarded as a low-end technology, even the simplest coal-to-petroleum synthesis. .

Of course, it must still be done, that is, the priority has been lowered by a few notches.

Also, in the end, the most annoying one, gunpowder that is the same price as cabbage, will also be swept into the garbage by this cruel rule.

┭┮﹏┭┮

The power of gunpowder is reflected in the violent combustion, the release of a large amount of gas, and the strong pressure to generate a huge thrust or blasting force.

The air pressure can't go up, the thrust is weak, what power can a bullet with a single-digit muzzle velocity have?

I lost my energy, but I could only shoot a dozen or twenty meters away, and the shells couldn't explode. What's the use of a cannon that can only be loaded with solid bullets?

Ah~! My machine gun cannon! My tank plane! My cruiser battleship!

This trick of the system is really ruthless, and it directly eliminates the way of all explosive thermal weapons. In the future, only electromagnetic guns, pulse guns, and laser guns can be developed. However, the technical requirements of those things are really a bit high. He estimated that the whole ship On the colony spaceship, whether anyone will build these things can be said.

However, Lei Jiu can be sure that the core of the spacecraft, the Earth's core, will definitely create these things.

Because the spacecraft itself uses these things as defensive weapons. After all, in space, under the vacuum state, the effect of explosive thermal weapons is minimal.

According to Lei Jiu's knowledge, the Earth's core can not only maintain these energy weapons, but also has a ready-made production line on the spacecraft, which can directly produce a batch in a short time.

I don't know if I would like to distribute some of it and send it to him in the game.

Ah~!

For a moment, although there was no sword to draw, he felt at a loss as he looked around.

Steam engines, steam turbines, and internal combustion engines can no longer appear.

Even if it comes out, an advanced steam boiler the size of a house can only provide 1 horsepower of power. That situation is too embarrassing!

Without machine guns, cannons, aircraft and tanks, Lei Jiu can still accept it. After all, the world's personal combat power is relatively strong, and the cold weapon war is not without its head.

But when Huanghuang Island becomes larger, there are no cars, trains, ships, these fast carrying capacity, and traffic problems can give him a headache.

There are only two things that can limit the conquest of those powerful empires in ancient times, one is transportation, and the other is logistics.

I hope the system didn't design a total of two or three hundred years of R&D investment for him on the issue of generators!

But thinking about the insidiousness of the system, it's not impossible!

Especially now, the research projects in the entire power area are dark, he can't get in at all, and he doesn't even know the conditions to open this area, how can he be so depressed.

Thinking about it carefully, even if the system is not too limited in the power technology area, without the steam turbine, wouldn't the thermal power plant never be able to start up?

This is the easiest and most important way of generating electricity in the early days of the electric power era. Without steam turbines, thermal power plants will also be castrated.

Even if the age of electricity is still unknown, but from now on, he must plan ahead and create conditions for other natural environments that can be converted into electricity.

It seems that in the future, in the layout of Huanghuang Island, several large rivers must be consciously created to prepare for the large-scale hydropower station in the future.

As for wind power and solar power..., considering the efficiency issue, it cannot be used as a pillar power generation method for large-scale urban electricity consumption, and can only be used as a support to fill leaks.

Tidal power?

In other words, on several islands in this world, he has never seen such a thing as the ebb and flow of the tide!

Nuclear power plant... Well, there is no need to plan this, the system is not stuck in nuclear technology until the end of the game, then it is considered expensive.

Looking at it in such a circle, Huanghuang Island will truly enter the era of electricity in the future. How to ensure the power supply is also a big problem!

Lei Jiu sighed how much molding technology was directly abolished by a change in the physical state.

No wonder he always felt that the water vapor in this world was always so thick that even the heat coming out of the vat filled with rice could hide the figure next to him, which was more exaggerated than the sauna room. The reason was that the density of the water vapor had increased. , the kind that becomes very large.

At the same time, he also found a reasonable explanation for another matter.

Why does he feel that the breath of five grains that he occasionally releases is so stinky?

The answer is already very clear. The density of farts is high and the concentration is high, so naturally... vomit~!

Similarly, when the density of gas is high, it is difficult to increase the flow speed of air. What is the flow of air? wind! What is the speed of air flow? Wind speed! Therefore, the windy genius here is relatively rare, at least since he entered the game, he has basically not encountered any windy days.

However, with the exaggerated gas density in this world, once there is a big storm wind, the power is probably much more terrifying than the typhoons and tornadoes on the earth!

Correspondingly, clouds are more likely to turn into rain and fall!

Considering the exaggerated ocean area of ​​the entire world, I think that among these islands distributed in the sea, there is basically no possibility of the Gobi, desert and other topographical features due to lack of water.

It stands to reason that if the air density is so large, the air resistance will definitely increase a lot.

He threw his fist hard, and when he concentrated on sensing, he did find a sense of sluggishness.

This sense of hysteresis does exist, but it is far less obvious than Lei Jiu imagined. It is completely incomparable to the feeling of punching in the water. If you hadn't experienced it carefully, you wouldn't have noticed it.

Seeing that the island owner suddenly kept silent, his face was gloomy and uncertain, he lowered his head to ponder for a while, then stood up and shook his fist again, and even Nangong Dian began to wonder if the island owner was really sick?

Looking at this situation, it seems to be the legendary hysteria?

How good is this!

It seems that people who suffer from hysteria cannot be disturbed?

Neither Nangong Dian nor Luo Zheng dared to make a sound, for fear of scaring the island owner.

"Huh? What happened to the two of you?"

Noticing the cautious expressions on their faces and the light-handed movements of the two, Lei Jiu was puzzled~www.novelbuddy.com~ Lord Island Master, are you alright? "

"What can I do?"

"But just now..." Luo Zheng wanted to say something else, but Nangong Dian directly grabbed the conversation, "Sir, it's fine!"

Although he didn't understand what riddles the two were playing, he thought it had something to do with his silence just now. He explained, "I figured out some things just now, and it's related to some research projects I saw at the research center today!"

No longer entangled in the reason why the two of them winked, he suddenly remembered that he still had something to ask Nangong Dian.

"By the way, Nangong, what's the process for new people on the island to get married now?"

"Oh~! Go to our household registration office to register first, and then the housing brigade will support a private banquet for the newlyweds to hold a wedding!"

"Are there many newlyweds on the island?"

"It's not too much now. After all, our settlement hasn't been around for a long time. The young men and women below have only had a short contact time, and only a few people have flash marriages!"

Oh, do you still know about flash marriage?

"Where are the banquets usually held? I don't seem to have seen it before!"

Lei Jiu was a little curious. After all, he was not Nangong Di who sat in the office every day. He spent most of the day working or wandering outside, but he never met him once.

"It's in the grove to the west, and going out is where Luo Zheng and his militia team gathered.

Over there is the place where the house brigade hangs the fish, and the trees are full of long dragons made up of sea fish dressed up, so there are people down there who call the wedding banquet a fish and dragon banquet! "

Is there only a fish and dragon feast with salted fish?

The corners of Lei Jiu's eyes suddenly became a little sour...
