Dominate Marvel

One of the core modules for refining is gold and jade, which is an alloy of fine steel and jade. This is an essential material.

However, Zhao Yu specially summarized and developed a method of smelting gold and jade in a steel-making furnace using ordinary means. Among the eighteen volumes given to Cao Mengde, there are detailed smelting processes. This is not just because Zhao Yu is unwilling to turn Taihe Villa into another Zhaozhuang and a noisy processing factory.

The deeper reason is to cultivate people's smelting ability.

Otherwise, you only need to transport fine steel and jade in batches to Taihe Courtyard, and put them directly into the magical furnace and cauldron. There is no need to summarize the ordinary smelting technology.

Perhaps people can get a lot of inspiration from the smelting process, and then innovate and evolve various smelting methods for other alloy metals.

Many times, as long as there is a beginning to something, people will suddenly realize it.

Oh, it turns out it can still be like this.

Through such means, we can achieve the effect of indirectly promoting social productivity.

Of course, keeping the Taihe Courtyard quiet is also an important reason.

After all, when fine steel and jade pass through the magical furnace, 99% of the impurities will be removed. To refine a three-inch square module, the materials required are a hundred times its volume. If steel and jade were transported directly, the huge amount of materials that could flood other courtyards would be impossible, and three to five hundred power modules would not be refined at one time.

If that happens, the whole courtyard will no longer be quiet.

So let Cao Mengde complete this step outside first, smelt the gold and jade and then send it to the other courtyard, so as not to break the tranquility of the other courtyard.

Then, this machine car carried the most powerful princes in the land of Shenzhou and their important civil and military ministers, and instantly rose into the sky.

If an accident occurs and Zhao Yu is unable to rescue, all the peace at high altitude will be broken instantly.

"There are three operating levers on the console. The one on the left is used for starting and shutting down. The one in the middle is for acceleration and deceleration. The one on the right is for detailed control of steering, U-turns, turns, rolls, etc. Of course, it is best not to play with rolls or anything like that. .”

Zhao Yu chuckled and turned the operating lever on the right. The locomotive in mid-air suddenly turned 360 degrees. Cao Mengde and others were unable to stabilize and turned upside down. If it hadn't turned over quickly and turned back in an instant, everyone would have been on top of their heads.

"gentlemen!"

Cao Mengde's face turned pale with fright.

Zhao Yu laughed loudly: "How about it, it is fully functional, right? There are not too many decorations in my motorcycle. You can take this into consideration in the flying cars you build in the future. The seats are designed to hold people in place. That’ll be no problem.”

Then Zhao Yu demonstrated to everyone one by one the functions of acceleration, deceleration, turning and turning, etc.

Finally, he returned to Puyang and landed again in the open courtyard of Zhou Mufu.

After stepping out of the motorcycle top-heavy, Cao Mengde felt light all over and could not stand firmly.

Zhao Yu supported him and said, "Just get used to it from now on."

"The core power module consumes a lot of materials." Zhao Yu said as the group walked: "Although the module is three inches square, its total weight exceeds fifty kilograms. And every time a module like this is refined, if it is used To refine the weapon, the materials consumed are a hundred times its total weight. More than five thousand kilograms of fine steel and jade are needed to refine such a piece. Last time, more than one hundred thousand kilograms of fine steel and nearly one hundred thousand kilograms of jade were refined. The more than 10,000 kilograms left after the furnace was used to make only three modules."

"in this way..."

After hearing this, whether it was Cao Mengde or Xun Yu, the joy in their hearts suddenly decreased a lot.

"Isn't this too much consumption?"

Cao Chun couldn't help but said: "Let's not talk about jade for now. More than 100,000 kilograms of fine steel are enough to build thousands of sets of sophisticated armor!"

Zhao Yu nodded slightly: "That's true."

He said: "It is inevitable to consume a lot of money. Who made this thing fly? Even if the hanging talisman is not superimposed, and its flight ability is eliminated, the speed of galloping on the ground can still throw away the war horse ten times and dozens of times. .”

Zhao Yu said carefully: "The territory of our Xia people actually formed a relatively fixed framework during the Zongzhou period. By the Han Dynasty, although it gradually expanded, it was not large. It was not that the emperors of the past dynasties were unwilling to rule more A large territory cannot be ruled. Meng De and Wen Ruo, you know this better than me."

Cao Mengde couldn't help but nodded repeatedly: "Sir, that's right. The empire's territory is too large, and the central court's dominance weakens with the expansion of the territory. Why the border areas have never been unstable is largely due to this reason."

Xun Yu also said: "My lord, what you said makes sense. For example, what happened in the Western Regions, after it was reported to Chang'an or Luoyang, a year and a half passed, and everything was too late. Even if it was known in time, because of the long distance, it would be too late. It’s too late to mobilize troops and generals, it’s beyond our reach.”

"Yes, it's beyond reach." As he spoke, he entered the lobby.

After everyone took their seats, Zhao Yu said: "The key lies in transportation and communication."

He said: "Mengde and everyone have experienced it just now. This motorcycle of mine weighs more than 60,000 kilograms. And its flying speed can reach more than ten times the speed of sound at its fastest."

"Oh, by the way." Zhao Yu quickly explained: "The speed of sound is the speed at which sound is transmitted when we speak. How to measure it? Seven thousand two hundredths of an hour counts as one second, and the speed of sound in one second, It’s three hundred and forty meters, which is a little over one hundred and thirteen feet.”

"The speed of a locomotive is more than 1,133 feet per hour."

At this time Xun Yu answered: "Seven and a half miles."

"Yes, Wen Ruocai is quick and quick. The speed of a locomotive is more than seven and a half miles per second. Meng De, please calculate, how long does it take to go from the easternmost point of the Han Dynasty to the westernmost point of the Western Region?!"

Cao Mengde couldn't help but pinch his fingers and calculate carefully.

"From Lelang, Youzhou, to Dayuan in the Western Regions." Xun Yu reminded: "It's fourteen thousand miles."

Cao Mengde made this calculation in his mind, his eyes slowly widened, and his mouth opened slightly: "Two seconds?!"

Zhao Yu nodded with a smile: "That's right, it's just two seconds. If you eat a little slower, you won't even need the time for a meal."

"hiss!"

The sound of breathing cold air one after another suddenly sounded in the lobby.

"Mengde, if you think about it, if there are a thousand flying chariots like this, each with thirty people, we can send 30,000 soldiers and horses from Lelang, Youzhou to Dawan in the Western Region in one meal." Zhao Yu He smiled and said: "No matter how far away the border is, no matter what happens, the news can be delivered to your hands in at least one meal. In this way, is there anything that can't be reached?"

Cao Mengde slapped his hand on the table, his beard and hair stood out: "Don't talk about the time it takes to have a meal, even three to five days is still too late!"

"Yeah, three or five days is enough." Zhao Yu said: "This core power module can carry up to 20 million kilograms of behemoths flying across the sky. The speed can be maintained at about thirty feet per second. It's my little mechanism. One-thirtieth of a car. And such a behemoth, one can carry thousands of people at a time, and multiple three, five, seven or eight, and an army of tens of thousands, can traverse the territory of the Han Dynasty from east to west within eight hours. Fourteen thousand miles.”

"So, Zihe, do you still think that one module is not worth a thousand sets of armor?"

Cao Chun shook his head fiercely: "Don't say a thousand sets, even ten thousand sets or one hundred thousand sets are not as good as one module!"
