Online Game: Island War

Five days later, the research center was officially completed.

It was still shining brightly, and Lei Jiu still couldn't see how this building appeared.

For the launch of this research center, he postponed learning Luo Zheng's Blizzard Blade Technique and analyzing slime's tough skin.

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

The interior of the castle is not as cramped as the real castle, it is very bright and spacious, and it feels more atmospheric than the outside. There are not many rooms, but each area is large. Some corners and small corners of the castle are all arranged as vents and observation decks.

The decoration of the room is very modern, even if there are no sophisticated 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 glare. After staring at the overhead lamp for a long time, Lei Jiu couldn't figure out what kind of energy it used, and it didn't feel like it used electricity.

Lei Jiu found that, on the outside, there are few modern elements in the system building, but the internal situation is either more modern and fashionable, or the system is directly equipped with black technology.

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

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

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

In the first category, Lei Jiu saw a lot of brands, iron smelting technology zone, steelmaking technology zone, copper smelting, aluminum smelting..., the lit areas basically belong to the category of crafts and materials.

The mechanical and electronic areas are all blacked out and closed. Obviously, they are not allowed to enter 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 and steel smelting technology. The mechanical technology here should mainly refer to the modern and modern iron and steel machinery industry.

It would be easier to understand if the electronic area was not unlocked. Now he has not even met the technical requirements for making basic transistors, and the integrated circuit will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

It can be foreseen 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 kind of integrated circuit is there when there is no power?

When he came to the energy and power area, the steam power was actually on. Lei Jiu was puzzled. With the current iron smelting and sealing technology on the island, how could it be possible to meet the research and development conditions for steam engines?

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

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

Lei Jiu shook his head. Even if he suspected something was wrong with his head, he wouldn't suspect a system bug. There must be something to say here.

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

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

that's all?

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

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, the cost of 5,000 gold coins, the steam technology is in hand, 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 didn't know if he could handle iron smelting technology.

Can you get the rubber for sealing? It can be said that the system has no restrictions on the steam engine at all in terms of appearance time.

This matter is quite weird!

Looking further down, the power 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 methods have been developed to convert various energies in nature into electrical energy.

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

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

Magic Power Zone, this one can enter!

Uh-huh? Why?

Magic power zone?

Still have this motivation? Lei Jiu expressed that he was shocked!

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

R\u0026D investment: 100 gold coins need to be invested every day, and the process takes a total of 10,000 days.

The investment in research and development is not uninterruptible. After all, sometimes, the situation of poor capital turnover is inevitable. So there is this setting of how many days in total, which means that players need to invest so many days in total to obtain this technology.

Let me be a good boy, more than 27 years, a total of 1 million gold coins are needed, so scary!

For a large project of 1 million yuan, Lei Jiu said that he could not afford it at all now and was persuaded to quit by poverty.

Turning around the entire energy power area, Lei Jiu frowned, and then checked door to door more carefully. Even in the areas that he couldn't enter, he would lie on the door and look carefully for a long time.

As a result, his frown became tighter and tighter.

Didn't see what he was looking for, Lei Jiu ran back to the materials area and began to grope carefully.

No?

Not even?

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

Why?

Could it be...the world of "Island Warfare" has no oil?

Fuck me, right?

No oil?

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

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

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

None of these things could be made without oil!

Made...made?

By the way, there is also the road of artificial oil.

It's no wonder that Lei Jiuyi didn't think about it for a while. In the 22nd century, the earth's land oil fields were exhausted, which caused a period of turmoil. However, it didn't take long for several big 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 Atlantis sunken area, where oil reserves are very rich.

Until 2500, when Lei Jiu boarded the colony spacecraft, even though the news was saying that the crisis of oil resource depletion was imminent, there was no news that any chemical plant had really closed down.

After all, since the beginning of the 22nd century, all means of transportation have begun to electrify energy, especially with breakthroughs in battery technology and miniaturization of nuclear conversion technology, oil consumption has dropped sharply.

For these reasons, artificial petroleum 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 neither man-made petroleum technology nor petrochemical industry, does it mean that the system has no limitations in this respect?

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