Chapter 500 Clockwork Technology
After the unification of the Five Elements of Light Continent, it was renamed the Empire of Light. The Southern Fire Empire also gradually gave up its suppression of extraordinary people from other empires, and began to establish a large number of extraordinary academies to systematically train extraordinary people.
And teach these extraordinary people some basic natural science knowledge. This is the experience summed up from the glorious victory of the Southern Fire Empire in the war. Even extraordinary people need to use natural science to a certain extent during the battle. Scientific knowledge can make their combat effectiveness stronger.
Just like the ability to control metal, if you just build metal into something like a sword, there must be a huge difference between the lethality and building it into something like a gun. If the technical level is sufficient, using metal The ability to control can be used to construct giant ship cannons, interstellar rail guns and other things, and the power will be even more exaggerated, even surpassing the scope of the ultimate super-killing machine in this world.
This kind of thing is theoretically possible. Although the level of science and technology in this world is far from enough to achieve this level, the extraordinary ability of extraordinary people to control various attributes can make basic science not reach the level of development. Before reaching a high enough level, let people in this world experience the benefits of advanced technology.
Lan Nuo also began to gradually come to the stage at this time, as the leader of the rise of the Bright Five Elements Continent. Currently, the Bright Five Elements Continent is still in the process of being revitalized, and a large amount of post-war reconstruction work is underway.
Previous wars had caused massive destruction. Dismantling the defense lines between countries also created a large number of desolate areas, just like the big rivers created by the Northern Water Empire. Although the river itself is part of the resources, it is too wide and occupies a large amount of land. scope.
By reducing the flow of the river, a large amount of fertile land can be obtained. The silt formed after the impact of the river water is the most fertile land suitable for planting.
In fact, this is the case in the Nile River Basin on Earth. The Nile River floods regularly, creating fertile land around it, thus nourishing the civilizations on both sides.
Similarly, the river became narrower under the control of extraordinary beings, and the surrounding land rose, eventually forming large areas of fertile farmland, and these places needed to be planted and developed. These things are not extraordinary. The person can do it.
At this time, some of the technologies sold in the space system will be useful. These technologies require the cooperation of strong people with the ability to control metal to be realized.
The precision required is also much higher. That's all kinds of farm machinery. Lieyan had already developed the internal combustion engine before the war. Although it requires the cooperation of a strong fire attribute person to use it. But it is still a very practical prop.
However, this type of high-power equipment is usually used for weapons in war. There is no need for ordinary agricultural machinery to use such a high-power engine. These ordinary agricultural machines use the same clockwork engines that were used in previous disposable drones.
The most metallic person in this world. Metals can be given a variety of unique properties, including extremely strong toughness. This makes the metal extremely resilient during the application of their force. In this way, agricultural machinery can replenish energy through surrounding water conservancy facilities.
Build a corresponding water wheel in the river. The rotating power is then exported using gears and connecting rods. Agricultural machinery only needs to be parked near the river. Then connect your own clockwork and the power of the river to each other. You can use the power of the river water to drive the rotation of the water wheel to supplement your own clockwork.
The enchantment of a metallic strongman can last for a long time. During this period of time, this agricultural machinery can be controlled by ordinary people.
Compared to internal combustion engines, machines that constantly explode to propel themselves. Clockwork machines provide more stable power. Easier to manipulate and exploit. In this case, the required mechanical structure is also simpler and can easily be mass-produced by metal experts.
In fact, with the establishment of the Empire of Light, the status of metal strong men has gradually surpassed the strong men of the other four attributes.
Although strong men with various attributes have their own advantages in their respective fields, with the development of industry, the advantages of metal have become more and more obvious. Control the water flow, control the earth, and even have the power to heal life. In the face of the power of industry, it has gradually begun to fall into a disadvantage.
But this originally didn't matter. The power of the five elements appears randomly. Even two strong men with the fire attribute may give birth to a child with the water attribute. In this case, even if a strong man with a certain attribute occupies a dominant position in society, it will not lead to differences in society with different attributes. There is a huge gap in the number of strong people. This kind of thing happens when the five elements are completely out of balance.
As the strong men of metal gradually occupied a dominant position in social production, the Empire of Light also began to build various huge projects. The most numerous of them are dams.
With the gradual popularization of clockwork machinery, various agricultural machinery and ordinary civilian vehicles also use a large number of clockwork engines. These engines all need to be replenished near water conservancy facilities. Or replenishing energy near wind facilities.
Although internal combustion engines and steam engines have been gradually invented, they can also be gradually used. Fossil fuels replace the power of the transcendent.
But these are still in the early stages. If you want to use fossil fuels to drive these machines, you need to develop a corresponding chemical system, which will take a long time.
During this period, the simpler clockwork system will still dominate social production. Now there is a fairly mature clockwork transportation system.
These clockwork energy sources do not necessarily have to rely on water conservancy projects. There are huge transport vehicles that can transport a large number of clockworks at the same time. Those clockworks that have run out of energy are dismantled and then transported to the riverside. They are constantly replenished with energy on the assembly line, and then transported to the transport vehicle after they are full of energy. They are transported to all parts of the world by transport vehicles.
In this way, a very special industrial system is formed. Clockworks have become hard currency among energy, and clockworks full of energy themselves have become valuable things.
Another advantage of clockwork is that it can replenish its own energy at any time. In theory, hand-cranking can also charge clockwork, but the time required for this hand-cranking is a bit long. It needs to use a set of gears to make a labor-saving lever to allow ordinary people to turn the moving clockwork.
Of course, if you can use human power, you can also use animal power. This is bad news for livestock around the world. Originally, they only needed to pull carts and plow the land, but now they need to constantly charge the clockwork even during their rest time, pulling the charging equipment like a millstone round and round, constantly squeezing their last physical strength.
This makes these livestock miserable, and the amount of livestock raised in various places has greatly increased. Things like war horses are difficult to produce. After all, they need to ensure that they have strong enough physical fitness on the battlefield, but if they are just livestock, they can be bred on a large scale. Especially things like mules. The breeding speed will be very fast.
After the unification of the empire, large-scale pastures have been established to artificially grow forage grass, which makes the breeding speed of livestock faster, and they are also distributed to various places. As energy providers for energy centers in various places.
Although their energy conversion efficiency is very low, they need to consume a lot of plants. But considering that not all places have large rivers to provide enough water energy. Not all places have enough wind resources. These livestock are still an important source of energy in some remote areas, with the gradual popularization of clockwork. Electricity has also begun to enter every household.
The use of electricity is not too difficult. Even in ancient times, it was not difficult to make a generator. As long as you can make copper wire and strong permanent magnets, it is not difficult to make a generator. There is almost no technical threshold. You can make it with elementary school education.
The real problem lies in the transmission and storage of electricity. Before large-scale use, if you keep generating electricity, the electricity is actually wasted, because there is no power grid dispatching electricity. The electricity generated is not used by people at any time and anywhere. This is undoubtedly a waste of electricity. The threshold of something like batteries is higher than that of generators. It is not an easy thing to store electricity.
But now with the clockwork, the situation has changed again. A simple generator. The difficulty of manufacturing is very low. Every household can make a small generator.
And the electricity does not need to be stored in the form of electricity. It just needs to be stored in these clockworks. When electricity is needed, the spring is inserted into the generator, and then the spring is started to drive the generator to rotate, so that the electrical appliances in the home can be operated, and the spring is removed when electricity is not needed. This way of storing energy by relying on elasticity. There is almost no consumption during the storage process, so that the electricity can be used very efficiently.
Even when electricity is not needed, there will be no waste. In this way, electricity can be used before the establishment of the power grid. When electrical appliances are popularized in every household and the demand for electricity begins to increase, hydropower stations and wind power stations can be built. Even if there is enough technology, thermal power stations can be built.
Then build a power grid to provide electricity for thousands of households. The world with extraordinary power is not short of energy. With extraordinary power, people can easily use the energy of nature. Extraordinary power is like a lever that can call out the energy of nature.
In this way, those power plants or spring charging fields only need a small number of extraordinary people to garrison, amplify the power of nature, and store it in some way and transport it to thousands of households.
After the construction of several large-scale water conservancy facilities was completed, the energy of this world began to gradually become abundant. It is not much different from the 21st century on Earth.
The efficiency of the extraordinary people in engineering construction is very high, especially when the strong people with water attributes and the strong people with earth attributes cooperate with each other, the efficiency of water conservancy project construction is incredible.
And the application of the power of water in this world is far beyond that of humans on Earth. Almost every river has built a large number of reservoirs and dams to utilize the energy of water and replenish energy for clockworks around the world.
After the emergence of this new energy, it can be said that the style of the entire Bright Five Elements Continent has changed, and it has begun to have the style of modern industrial society. A large number of roads were built in this process because there was a need to build roads.
Vehicles using spring energy can already travel long distances, because replacing the spring is a very easy thing, and the spring made by the strong metal element is very elastic. Only a spring the size of a wheel is needed to travel hundreds of kilometers. And the mass of this thing is not very heavy, the diameter is about the same as the wheel, but the thickness is only about two fingers. A car can carry more than a dozen, and it can travel thousands of kilometers without energy replenishment.
This means that long-distance highways have value. This thousands of kilometers of driving distance is still on the rugged and bumpy ground. This kind of ground consumes a lot of spring energy. After all, in theory, the spring does not necessarily need to work all the time, just like the engine of a car. It does not need to output all the time, and it can be idling. If the ground is smooth enough, after the car accelerates to a certain high speed, the spring can be separated from the power transmission device. Let the car move forward by inertia, and reconnect when the speed drops slightly. Increase the speed of the car.
Relying on this method, the same spring can travel a longer distance. The technology in this area is actually not too difficult. After Lan Nuo transformed into Dr. Zombie King, he was able to develop it quite easily.
This made the world have a very high demand for long-distance highways, and also made them start to build railways. Compared with roads, railways are more convenient for using the power of springs. The friction between rail trains and tracks is much smaller than that of cars, which saves more energy for springs in the process. At the same time, their carrying capacity is larger and can carry a large number of springs, just like the earliest trains can carry a large amount of coal. Although the weight of fuel consumed in each trip is huge, the larger carrying capacity means that they don’t need to worry about this problem at all.
Railways and roads began to be built one after another. In this process, the status of the earth attribute strongmen who originally surrendered last also increased rapidly. They played a huge role in the process of road construction. With these strongmen, the speed of road construction was also increased to an incredible level.
