Global Wasteland: My Mechanical Fortress

Chapter 79 Thermal Power Generation
Many players drove cars before coming to the wasteland world. It stands to reason that they can also use the internal combustion engine as a power source after removing the car.

However, the fuel required by the internal combustion engine must be various processed oils. The fuel tank of a car is only that big. Not long.

So unless there is an oil field that can be exploited by players on a large scale in the wasteland world, or there is a resource secret area with oil, the steam engine, a power source that can be directly driven by firewood or coal, will become very hot!

Anyway, there are a lot of idle generator sets in the major official shelters, and it is definitely not a loss to replace it with a single-wheel steam engine!

……

After figuring out the auction rules of the steam engine, the player from Plaster Country was the first to bid: "1300Kw!"

Then American followed up not to be outdone: "1400Kw!"

"1700kw!"

"2100Kw"

……

"3000Kw once!"

"3000kw twice!"

"make a deal!"

In the end, the player representative of Xingxingxing Group offered the price to 3000Kw, and successfully won Lin Fengyi's single-wheeled steam engine!
After all, this is just a single-wheel steam engine, and it is not a single-wheel steam engine production specification. A 3000Kw generator set is already considered very expensive!
The most important thing is that the manufacturing difficulty of the steam engine is not high.

After the players in the major official shelters have produced coke and raised the temperature of the furnace, they can also make this thing themselves, so they don't have a strong desire to buy it.

……

After the Star Group players signed the transaction agreement with Lin Fengyi, they expressed that they needed to prepare for the formal transaction tomorrow.

Lin Fengyi naturally has no objection to this, because the steam engine he just made is still in the process of strengthening, and the strengthened one cannot be sold, and he also wants to make a new single-wheel steam engine for the Xingxing Group!

[Do you want to make a single-wheel steam engine? 】

[Pre-requirements: idle blacksmith shop*1, idle population*1; ultra-high carbon steel*3]

"Yes!"

[Single-wheel steam engine in progress...]

[Countdown to completion: 4:59:59]

[Note: The production process of the single-wheel steam engine cannot be interrupted, otherwise there will be a 30% chance of defective products]

After Lin Fengyi chose yes, he left Xiaoxiao in the blacksmith's shop to be in charge of making steam engines. Anyway, the elemental puppets are the best tool people because they don't know how tired they are!
And he went back to the bedroom to eat and rest first.

When Lin Fengyi was grinding the burr on the steam engine casting just now, he was exhausted. He was so tired that he could hardly bear it.

……

After eating and drinking enough, the single-wheel steam engine that Lin Fengyi was strengthening just now has been read!

【Single Wheel Steam Engine】(Epic)

【Calorific value efficiency: 8%】

【Single wheel speed: 180～210 rpm】

[Evaluation: The overall hardness of the steam engine is strengthened by using fine gold, and two double-acting pistons are added, so that the single-wheel steam engine that can work in both directions has significantly improved its efficiency]

The calorific value efficiency has increased from 3% to 8%, and the single wheel speed has also been greatly improved!
"Yes you can!"

Lin Fengyi looked at the properties of the strengthened single-wheel steam engine and nodded in satisfaction, but if he wants to build a thermal power plant in the Mohist mechanism city, he still needs to solve the ventilation problem.

Because the Mohist organ city is in an underground cave, it is almost in a completely sealed state.

If only Lin Fengyi lived here alone, it would not be a big problem. In such a large space, the oxygen in it is enough for him to breathe for a long time.

But if Lin Fengyi wants to use steam engines to build a thermal power plant here, he must solve the ventilation problem of the cave!

Otherwise, if there is not enough oxygen, the fuel in the boiler will not be fully burned, which will not only waste fuel, but also produce excessive carbon monoxide!
Lin Fengyi's elemental puppets and Atlantis guards are not afraid of carbon monoxide, but this stuff is deadly to him!
But if the thermal power plant is built outside the refuge, then the safety of the power plant is another problem.

Although ventilation ducts seem to have no technical content, making metal ducts is a big threshold!

Lin Fengyi can't even make the most basic metal pipes now, let alone the bearings needed to make ventilation fans...

Lin Fengyi couldn't make such fine things in a short period of time!

……

"It seems that I can only choose to expand my shelter!" Lin Fengyi thought over and over again, this is the most cost-effective solution.

Before Lin Fengyi used the Mohist mechanism city's refuge upgrade plan to upgrade his refuge into a Mohist mechanism city, he obtained the authority to expand the refuge.

Now he can just dig out another room to house the steam engine!
Just do it!

Lin Fengyi first customized 25 adamantine pickaxes in the crafting list, and then arranged 22 Atlantis guards in the town center.

The strength of the Atlantis guards is not much weaker than Xiaoxiao, so it is most suitable for them to dig a mountain to get a stone room!
Now Lin Fengyi has three idle Atlantis guards here. After making three mining picks, Lin Fengyi gave each of them three picks, and then went to the first floor of the shelter to draw a range for them to stay there. Start digging!
"Ding ding bang bang..."

The three Atlantean guards were digging in front, and Lin Fengyi was putting the gravel they dug into the storage space in the back, which saved a lot of time in transporting the rocks.

An Atlantis guard can be produced in the town center in 10 minutes. The more guards there are, the faster the digging speed will be!
Besides, these Atlantis guards are all driven by psionic energy. As long as Lin Fengyi's psionic energy reserves are not exhausted, they will not be tired and will continue to work hard!

在25个灵能守卫不眠不休的高强度工作下，只是过了五个小时，他们便挖掘出了一间5m*5m*4m的锅炉房和一间12m*4m*2m的发电机房！
Install doors and windows, smooth floors, install steam engines, install generators, and mark spiritual input...

After Lin Fengyi settled the generator room, he filled the steam engine with enough water and charcoal, and started to ignite and run!
"Grumbling..."

The water in the boiler began to boil.

"laugh--"

"Dong dong!"

The steam enters the cylinder and starts pushing the piston to do work!
As the fire burns hotter and hotter, more and more steam is produced, and the efficiency of the steam engine is getting higher and higher!
Lin Fengyi had already traded with Xingxing Group before, and together with the 1000Kw generator set he bought from Fighting Sky, he installed a total of 4000Kw generator set in the next room.

However, the power of a single-wheel steam engine is obviously not enough to run these generating sets at full capacity, and Lin Fengyi needs to install another single-wheel steam engine here!

　The second update, there are two additional updates, it must be very late after writing and posting, I suggest you read it tomorrow
