Chapter 546 What? Cannons, airships!(2/3)
One god's skill is equivalent to dozens of auras!
It’s not that they don’t understand this truth. Spending a hundred souls to buy cannons and loot other civilizations is definitely a huge benefit.
The two city lords looked at each other, invisible fireworks clashing in the air.
Don't buy cannons to rob me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!
Don't rob me either!
Finally, the two stopped again and took a few deep breaths.
There is no way, after all, we are still compatriots, and there is still intermarriage between cities, so we will not squeeze our souls.
But the next picture shocked their minds once again.
"This is...an airship? An airship?"
This huge reinforced concrete structure rises from the ground and carries tens of thousands of tons of cargo at one time.
The thick shell, huge tonnage, and roaring propellers bring a full sense of security.
"Huh..." They couldn't help but let out a breath of turbidity.
You must know that in the icy and snowy environment of the North, transportation is very inconvenient.
Most civilizations still use pack animals and sleds to transport goods!
But even if the beasts in the supernatural world are stronger, how much cargo can they transport? A few tons at a time is the limit!
Therefore, a powerful civilization will choose to build rail trains. However, the weather often snows, and the maintenance cost of rail tracks is quite high. Rail tracks are usually only used to connect mines and cities.
To sum up, the best long-distance transportation method between cities is naturally airship!
In order to avoid natural disasters, the bigger the airship, the better, and the heavier the better!
When a snowstorm comes, the airship can land on the ground and take a rest.
On the road again after the snowstorm.
It can be said that airships are the economic foundation of a strong civilization!
Without civilized trade, living in a corner would lead to poverty and there would be no way out.
"What's the carrying capacity of your airship?" the bachelor asked.
"You can have as much as you want." Lu Yuan said decisively.
They even sent out two floating cities. The tonnage of this kind of floating fortress can indeed be increased infinitely.
"Sir, don't be ridiculous. How can the load capacity be infinite? Can your materials expand infinitely?"
Because this fortress was a gift from the Lan Peng people, Duke Lan Peng explained: "You may have misunderstood. This suspended fortress is made of 'Pandora crystals' and is not an ordinary hot air balloon. The basic principle is
It’s the anti-gravity principle of Pandora crystal.”
"I see... I've heard about this. It's very expensive." The Grand Bachelor and the leader of his family whispered a few words.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
The anti-gravity system of Pandora Crystal cannot be used whenever you want. It needs to use electricity to supply energy, and the power must be adjusted! Therefore, only technological civilization can master this thing.
"The one we are currently showing has a rated load capacity of 38,000 tons."
"There are two large steam engines inside, which can burn coal or oil, and there are four large propellers. There are also drifting glyphs on the walls of the fortress, which can make it fly at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, with a maximum speed of
It’s 100 kilometers per hour!”
"The suspended fortress made by our Green City can carry the daily life of 4,000 people. It can also land safely on the ground in bad weather. It has temperature control glyphs inside and the walls have strong heat insulation capabilities."
"Even more, we have arranged large plantations that can be used to grow green vegetables to prevent scurvy."
This series of data directly stuns people.
Of course, the price of this large airship is not low. The price of a full 240 spiritual yuan frightened all the indigenous people.
It's so expensive that you have to pool the entire city's assets to afford it.
Lu Yuan felt that this Lan Peng man was too greedy.
This floating fortress has been used for so long, 24 auras is considered the cost price.
For 30 Lingyun, he sold it.
As a result, this Lan Peng man was selling for 240... He couldn't bear it.
But the Ulan clan seems to be a little excited. How much change can a floating fortress bring to the city? Even if it is just running around doing business, sooner or later they can make money back!
"Hold on! If you bargain for a while, you may get a preferential price."
"Be sure not to act too impulsively, otherwise it will be fish on the chopping board!" they secretly warned themselves.
The next product looks very strange, like a large glass window, all blue, quite beautiful.
"This is……"
"Ahem, this is a solar panel, mixed with glyph technology and energy storage technology. It can collect sunlight during the day and store electrical energy for easy use at night."
"The light radiation here is not too strong, but it can be considered as meeting the minimum usage standards."
"The design standard of our Lan Peng family is to be able to go into space, so it is absolutely excellent in cold resistance! This solar panel is durable and has a shelf life of more than fifty years! If it is well maintained, it can be used for hundreds of years without any problems."
This blue-haired bird man is guaranteed.
It seems like it’s just the icing on the cake, something that improves life.
But the price is cheap. A solar panel only costs 0.05 Spirit, which sounds exciting.
This thing can generate electricity, boil water, take hot showers, and provide energy for electric lights.
As a noble, can't you enjoy it?
A piece of jade pendant that you carry with you can be exchanged for a solar panel, and you can enjoy it for hundreds of years in the future. Is it still a mistake?
"Don't worry, look again, look again..."
"This again?"
"A generator only needs fuel to generate electricity normally. If you don't have gasoline, cooking oil can barely do the job, but its lifespan may be shortened."
Somewhat beyond Lu Yuan's expectation, these guys thought about it for a while and actually shook their heads and gave up!
Buying a solar panel for your own use is barely acceptable.
They simply cannot afford the large-scale development of electric power technology because laying wires requires a large amount of copper metal.
What's more, generators need to consume fuel, and the price of this thing is too high, many times higher than coal.
"What is this thing?" They saw a strange tall tower. There was a boiler in the center of the tall tower, and many thick iron pipes were wrapped around the boiler.
"This is... an iron-making blast furnace." Lu Yuan sighed. Isn't this a junk thing that they have eliminated and has been gathering dust for a long time? Will it really not blow up the furnace if sold?
The deputy sitting on the side explained: "You only need to put in iron ore and coal to smelt iron. Generally, smelting 1 ton of pig iron requires 1.5-2.0 tons of iron ore, 0.4-0.6 tons of coke, 0.2-0.4
tons of flux, a total of 2-3 tons of raw materials are needed.”
"The capacity of this iron-making blast furnace is not large, with a daily output of about 320 tons. The cost of starting it once is very high, and continuous production is required to cover the cost."
Hearing these words, everyone in the Wulan clan was frightened. They actually had boilers, but they were just like domestic steelmaking, and their output and quality were far behind.
Although the blast furnace is good, can they afford the financial expenditure?
I browsed through the subsequent information again, from guns and other weapons, to various raw materials, to flashy extraordinary equipment.
There are even some customization services!
For example, help create a field, treat cancer, repair some soul injuries, etc. As long as you have money, you can buy almost anything!
Eye-opening, really eye-opening.
They have a new understanding of the power and richness of Green City.
If this place is really a ruin, maybe... it can really become a high-level ruin!
At that moment, Tagang couldn't sit still and cleared his throat: "Dear friends from Green City, to be honest, we are short of money and cannot afford too many supplies... we must choose carefully."
"Please give us some time for internal discussion."
"Now, we have a hard time making a choice."
Lu Yuan nodded: "No problem, we have prepared a room for you, you can stay for a while. After discussing it, come to us at any time."
He did not mention anything related to "civilization points".
The Northern Territory is a ghostly place with many civilizations. Perhaps information about "civilization points" has been circulated for a long time.
Therefore, there is no need to reveal your true purpose from the beginning.
Maybe the other party will take the initiative to bring this up?
The Wulan clan left in despair. It could be seen that they really longed for these supplies.
