Chapter 295 Steering Wheel(1/2)
Travel to the Spiritual Realm
After Bishop Grand nodded, this matter was settled for the time being.
Gress also breathed a sigh of relief. On one hand, he was his teacher and on the other hand, there was a temple where he was kind to him. Sometimes he was embarrassed when he was stuck in the middle.
As for how to operate it, Martin only provided a general idea and detailed content of interest exchange. Earl Cross is more proficient in it, and he was once a member of the temple and was very familiar with both sides.
In fact, Martin also thought about whether to cultivate a group of extraordinary people in the craftsman sequence by himself, but this idea was stopped by the Earl, which was almost equivalent to declaring war on the Temple of Craftsmen.
In the afternoon, continue to class.
The law of conservation of energy has a magical characteristic. After everyone understands the content of the law, they all feel the correctness of this law, as natural as 1+1=2.
But the subsequent question arises. The abilities of the extraordinary can also be regarded as an energy. What does the energy source of these abilities come from?
Martin also had doubts about this question. Other sequences are fine, but the key is his own knowledge sequence. What power comes from knowledge?
But Martin does not think that the ink traces recorded in books have the power to tie people up.
Therefore, the part about the extraordinary can only be understood by them.
...
At night, Martin came to Gress's courtyard. In addition to observing the moon, he mainly wanted to listen to Gress's research progress.
“…Some sections from Highway 1 to the coal mine have been formed and will be completely completed in about ten days.”
"With the addition of the extraordinary, the speed has been increased by at least twice."
Gress pointed to the map and set out from Faralin. A thin line winded towards the northeast. On the other end, she almost encountered a location that marked the coal mine.
Further northeastward, there is a dotted line that leads directly to Annu Fortress.
This road is called Highway 1.
Before, the speed of road construction was limited by the cement production and it was not fast enough. However, after a month, picking shells has now formed an industry in Faralin. Special shell workers have already gone to salvage coral reefs, dried them and sold them to cement factories.
Factors that limit the speed of road construction become artificial.
Without heavy machinery, it takes manpower to consolidate the road. People use large stones to repeatedly beat the roadbed, which is very inefficient.
Moreover, the number of construction workers is limited, so the speed is naturally not fast.
However, two weeks ago, Martin came up with a solution to get the extraordinary to join the construction team!
Although such a job seems a bit embarrassing to the eyes of most extraordinary people, it is not bad to make money!
Doing so will make the road nearly two months faster than the planned construction period.
But the benefits are also huge. Faralin is still receiving populations, and the area previously marked is almost approaching the capacity limit.
Now that the road to the coal mine is opened, some workers can be transferred to the coal mine.
It not only relieves the population pressure of Faraline, but also allows coal mines to start operations quickly.
There is no need to worry about safety issues when mining open-pit coal mines.
"In addition, with the addition of the temple, the formation of the fleet can also be carried out."
Gress handed over a stack of design drawings with several ship shapes on it.
The basis of Faraline is sea freight, while the basis of sea freight is ships and nautical technology.
Martin naturally would not forget this, and the plan to improve the ship had already made Gladys project.
In addition to improving the ships, he also wanted to form a semi-official fleet so that Faralin would not rely so much on merchants wandering on the sea.
However, Glace did not know much about ships. He was proficient in weapons and other aspects, not including ships.
Fluid mechanics is too profound, and Martin knows almost nothing about it.
The giant cargo ships in later generations, Faralin, who has just begun industrial reform, are undoubtedly alien technology.
Therefore, it can only be improved based on existing ships.
Faralin is not short of shipbuilding craftsmen, not extraordinary people, but ordinary craftsmen.
The ships of this era were all made of wood. Wooden ships have always occupied the main body in the long river of human history. From canoes to brigs, and even the decks of early aircraft carriers were still wood.
However, although the wood is light, it is not strong enough, so it is naturally limited by the materials and the ship cannot be too large.
Martin also thought about using cement to build ships, but he was just thinking about it. He seemed that he had never seen a long-distance ship built with cement in his previous life, so he could only give up this idea.
He knew that many warships were made of aluminum alloys, and an aluminum ore was also discovered more than 200 kilometers away from Faralin. Unfortunately, electrolytic aluminum requires a lot of electricity and the distance is too far. This aluminum ore is not in Martin's early development plan.
So in the end, there is only one option left: Steel!
Controlling the iron ore of the Gapher Empire, the Temple of Craftsmen is not short of various metals, especially iron.
So raw materials are not a problem.
In terms of corrosion-resistant steel alloys, many craftsmen in the temple have their own secrets.
So the only thing to consider is how to build a ship.
With the steam engine, the power of the ship evolved from sails to steam turbines.
However, this is a brand new ship. Without relevant experience, I can only find inspiration from sailing boats. Those craftsmen who know how to build ships have become the best candidates for consultation.
Martin didn't know how Glace completed this task, but it would be enough to have the result.
The design drawings on paper are very complicated, and there are many types of ships.
Martin looked at the keel and beam crisscrossing on the drawings, gave up the idea of examining it, and quickly moved to the last page.
The above records the data of each type of ship, including length, transportation capacity with different drafts, speed, required crew sailing distance, etc.
However, the data of the four types of ships is enough to dazzle Martin.
In the end, Glace and Farrell, who were on the side, helped to help clear the situation.
"Compared with today's ships, the load load of the same size can be more than doubled and the navigation speed has also been improved. The only problem is that crew members who can operate the steam engine need to be trained." Farrell explained that he is more familiar with this project.
"There is also the problem of steam engines. Steam engines are now more popular. If you want to make such a large steam engine, it will take some time, but with the temple joining, the problem will be solved." Gress added.
Martin nodded: "Then build a fleet as soon as possible, and you can't rely on those merchants for everything."
Faraline is not very large in area and the products are not particularly rich, so many things need to be imported from other places.
If all the transportation of these materials is relied on commercial activities, there is a great risk, especially necessities such as food.
What's more, the words of merchants seeking profits, hoarding goods, and raising prices are created by them.
"By the way, it's better for your temple to send people to participate in this project. HNA will become a very important project for Faralin in the future. Moreover, it is not safe to sail on the sea without extraordinary people."
Martin said to Tia beside him.
At the same time, he also looked at Sophia under the astronomical telescope.
In navigation technology, besides meteorology, it is astronomy.
You must also have a sailor with professional knowledge... or find an extraordinary person with relevant abilities like Sophia.
Sofia is a princess, so she naturally can't lead the fleet, but can she cultivate talents?
Forget it, looking at her spoiled appearance, she doesn't look like a teacher...
Martin gave up his thoughts and handed the design back to Gress.
Faralin had to worry more and more, and he couldn't do everything himself. He could only grab the steering wheel and let the car move in the right direction as much as possible.
...
At night, after returning to the bedroom, Martin took out a thick stack of draft paper.
There are a large number of functions and calculation processes on it.
This is his work result in the past week.
Contact the quill and Martin's spirit body came to the small island of the spiritual world.
Looking at the mirrored eyes and invisible skeletons in the box, Martin fell into thought.
According to Joris' suggestion, this thing can be used to make a messenger.
A messenger with the ability to mirror the field will know that it will definitely be practical when you think about it. As long as there is a mirror, you can quickly arrive.
Judging from the situation during divination, Martin knew the general process.
But the only problem is that there is still erosion fog in one of the eyes.
The brown-yellow eyeballs slowly flew up and floated in front of Martin's eyes.
Martin stared at that eye, and after several minutes, he looked away with a little frustrated.
According to the experience of the previous mirrored eye, the remaining gray fog should be related to Kaland's memory fragment. Martin wanted to trigger it on his own initiative and clear the gray fog but couldn't find the key point.
No matter what method he used, he could not cause a reaction from the fog.
The previous few times, I passively read Kaland's memory.
He could only try more normally, Martin sighed, and his brown eyes fell into the box.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. The endless view was not the sky, but the upside-down ocean with purple.
To be continued...
