Chapter 500 Clockwork Technology
After the reunification of the Bright Five Elements Continent, it was renamed the Bright Empire.The Southern Fire Empire also gradually gave up its suppression of the superhumans of other empires, and began to establish a large number of superhuman academies to systematically train superhumans.

And teach these extraordinary people some basic natural science knowledge. This is the experience summed up from the brilliant victories of the Southern Fire Empire in the war. Scientific knowledge, that can make their combat effectiveness stronger.

It's 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 something like a gun. If the level of technology is sufficient, using metal The ability to control builds giant ship cannons, builds things like interstellar rail guns, and the power will be even more exaggerated, even surpassing the category of the ultimate super killer in this world.

This kind of thing is theoretically possible. Although the technological level of this world is far from enough to achieve this level, the superhuman's convenient ability to control various attributes can prevent the development of basic science. Before the height is high enough, let the people of this world experience the benefits of advanced technology first.

At this time, Lan Nuo also began to gradually come to the stage, as the leader of the rise of the Bright Five Elements Continent. At present, the Bright Five Elements Continent is still in disrepair, and a lot of post-war reconstruction work is underway.

The previous wars had caused enormous devastation.Dismantling the defense lines between countries has also created a large number of barren areas, just like the big river created by the Beishui Empire. Although the river itself is part of the resources, it is too wide and occupies a large amount of land. scope.

After the river flow is reduced and narrowed, a large amount of fertile land can be obtained. The silt formed after the impact of the river water is the most fertile land for planting.

This is in fact the case on Earth with the Nile River basin, which periodically floods, creating fertile land around it, and thus nourishing the civilizations on both banks.

Similarly, the river became narrower under the control of the extraordinary, and the surrounding land rose up, eventually forming a large piece of fertile farmland, and these places need to be planted and developed. These things are not extraordinary. Those who can do it.

At this time, some technologies sold in the space system are useful, and these technologies require the cooperation of strong people with the ability to control metals to realize them.

The required precision is also much higher.That's all kinds of farm machinery.Lie Yan had developed an internal combustion engine before the war.Although it needs the cooperation of a strong fire attribute to use it.But still a very useful tool.

However, such high-power equipment is usually used for weapons in war, and ordinary agricultural machinery does not need to use such a high-power engine.The clockwork motors used by those single-use drones are used on these ordinary agricultural machinery.

The metal strongman of this world.Metals can be endowed with all sorts of exotic properties, including extreme toughness.This causes the metals to exhibit an extremely strong spring during their force.In this way, the agricultural machinery can supplement energy through the surrounding water conservancy facilities.

Build corresponding water wheels in the river.The rotating power is then exported with gears and connecting rods.Farm machinery only needs to be parked by the river.Then connect your own clockwork and the power of the river to each other.You can use the power of the river to drive the water wheel to add power to your own clockwork.

The enchantment of the strong metal can last for quite a long time.During this period of time, this agricultural machine can be controlled by ordinary people.

Compared with the internal combustion engine, a machine that constantly propels itself through explosions.The power provided by this machine is more stable.Easier to manipulate and utilize.In this case, the required mechanical structure is also simpler, and it can be easily mass-produced by the strong metal.

In fact, with the establishment of the Bright Empire, the status of the strong metal has gradually surpassed that of the other four attributes.

Although the powerhouses of various attributes have their own advantages in their respective fields, with the development of industry, the advantages of metals are becoming more and more obvious.Manipulate the flow of water, manipulate the land, and even the power to heal life.In the face of the power of industry, it gradually began to fall into a disadvantage.

But this is also indifferent.The power of the five elements appears randomly.Even if there are two fire-attributed strong men, it is possible to give birth to a water-attributed child. 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 social attributes. There is a huge gap in the number of strong players.As a result, the five elements are completely out of balance, and this kind of thing happens.

As the metal powerhouse gradually occupied a dominant position in social production, the Guangming Empire also began to build various huge projects.The most numerous of these are dams.

With the gradual popularization of clockwork machinery, various agricultural machinery and common civilian vehicles have also used a large number of clockwork engines.These engines need to be replenished near the water conservancy facilities.Or to replenish energy near wind power facilities.

Although internal combustion engines and steam engines have been gradually invented, they can also be used gradually.Fossil fuels replace supernatural powers.

But these are still in its infancy. 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 of time, the clockwork system, which is easier to use, will still occupy a dominant position in social production.There is now.Quite 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 clockwork at the same time.The springs that have run out of energy are removed, and then transported to the river, and energy is continuously replenished for these springs on the assembly line, and they are transported to the transport vehicle after they are full of energy.Shipped by transport truck to all over the world.

In this way, a very special industrial system is formed, and clockwork has become a hard currency in energy, and the energy-filled clockwork itself has become a valuable thing.

Another advantage of the clockwork is that it can replenish its own energy at any time. In theory, the hand crank can also charge the clockwork, but the time required for this hand crank is a bit long, and it needs a set of gears to make it Only labor-saving levers can make ordinary people turn the mainspring.

Of course, if you can use human power, you can also use animal power. This is bad news for livestock all over the world. Originally, they only needed to pull carts to plow the land, but now they even need to keep resting. They charged the clockwork, and pulled the charging device 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 also greatly increased. It is difficult to produce things like war horses. After all, it is necessary to ensure that they can exert sufficient physical fitness on the battlefield. Livestock can be reproduced on a large scale.Especially something like a mule.The speed of reproduction will be very fast.

After the unification of the empire, large-scale pastures have been established to artificially plant grass, which makes the breeding speed of livestock faster, and they are also distributed to various places.As an energy provider of energy hubs in various places.

Although their conversion efficiency to energy is very low, they need to consume a lot of plants.But considering that not all places have big rivers and rivers enough to provide enough water conservancy energy.Nor are there enough wind resources everywhere.These livestock are still an important source of energy in some remote areas, as clockwork becomes more common.Electricity has also begun to enter thousands of households.

The use of electric energy is actually not too difficult. Even in ancient times, it is not difficult to make a generator. As long as you can make copper wire and a powerful permanent magnet, you can make a generator. This is a difficult task, almost without any technical threshold, and it can be produced with elementary school education.

The real problem lies in the transmission and storage of electric energy. Before large-scale use, if the electricity is continuously generated, the electricity is actually wasted, because the electricity generated without grid dispatching is not used by people anytime and anywhere. There is no doubt that it is a waste, and the threshold for something like a battery is higher than that of a generator. It is not an easy task to store electrical energy.

But now with the clockwork, the situation has changed again, a simple generator.The difficulty of manufacturing is very low, and every household can get a small generator.

Electric energy does not need to be stored in the form of electricity.It needs to be stored in these springs.When electricity is needed, insert the mainspring into the generator, and then start the mainspring to drive the generator to rotate, so that the electrical appliances in the home can be run, and when the electricity is not needed, the generator can be turned The clockwork is removed.This reliance on elasticity is the way energy is stored.There is almost no consumption during the storage process, so that a very efficient use of electric energy can be achieved.

Even when electricity is not used, there will be no waste. In this way, electricity can be used first before the establishment of the grid. Build hydropower stations, build wind power stations, and even build thermal power stations with sufficient technology.

Then build a power grid to provide electricity for thousands of households. A world with supernatural power is not short of energy. With supernatural power, people can easily use the energy of nature. Supernatural power is like a lever. Call out the energy of nature.

In this way, those power plants or clockwork charging fields only need a small number of extraordinary people to be stationed, amplify the power of nature, 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 in this world began to gradually become more abundant.Even compared to the 21st century on Earth, it won't be too different.

Extraordinary people are very efficient in engineering construction, especially with the cooperation of water attribute powerhouses and earth attribute powerhouses, the efficiency of water conservancy project construction is so high that it is unimaginable.

And the application of the power of water in this world is far beyond the human beings on the earth. A large number of reservoirs and dams have been built on almost every river to use the energy of water to provide energy for development around the world. supplementary energy.

After the emergence of this brand new energy, it can be said that the painting style of the entire Bright Five Elements Continent has changed, and it has begun to have the painting style of a modern industrial society.A lot of roads were built in the process because of the need to build roads.

Vehicles using clockwork energy can already travel long distances, because it is very easy to replace the clockwork, and the springs made by those with strong metal properties are very elastic, and only a wheel-sized spring is needed. It can travel hundreds of kilometers.And the quality 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 drive thousands of miles without energy supplementation. kilometer.

This means that the long-distance expressway has the value of existence. The driving distance of thousands of kilometers is still on the rough and rough ground. This kind of ground consumes a lot of energy for clockwork. It needs to work all the time, like a car's engine.It does not need to be output all the time, and it can be idling.If the ground is smooth enough, the clockwork can be separated from the power transmission device after the car accelerates to a certain high speed.Let the car coast forward and wait until the speed drops slightly before reconnecting.Increase the speed of the car.

Relying on this technique, the same mainspring can travel a greater distance.And the technology in this area is actually not too difficult. After Lan Nuo turned into Dr. Zhuang Wang, he can develop it quite easily.

This makes the world have a very high demand for long-distance highways, and it also makes them start to build railways, which are more convenient for using the power of clockwork than roads and railways.The friction between rail trains and tracks is much smaller than that of cars, which saves more energy for clockwork in the process.At the same time, their carrying capacity is larger, and they can carry a large amount of springs, just like the earliest trains can carry a large amount of coal. There is no need to worry about this problem.

A series of railways and roads began to be built. During this process, the status of the earth attribute powerhouses who surrendered at the end also increased rapidly. They played a huge role in the process of road construction. With these powerhouses, The speed of road construction has also been increased to an incredible level.
