Chapter 269 You are here to do engineering, what kind of wonders do you want to create?

Make the new furnace bigger?

Hughes looked at the researcher with some confusion.

He originally planned to make the furnace bigger. If it was too small, it wouldn't be able to fit the polluting monster.

Besides, this furnace will supply power to the entire island in the future. It is a long-term project, so it is reasonable to design in some margin.

With this thought in mind, Xius opened the drawing handed to him by the researcher, but after just a glance at it, he almost threw it away.

What's this!?

"You want to hollow out the entire Castel and turn the middle into a giant furnace!?"

Only then did Zeus remember that these researchers were, after all, cultists of the Fire Moth, so it was normal for them to have radical ideas.

But this is a bit too radical!

"Yes, sir. According to my calculations, this is the most efficient way. We can directly remove the steam engine from the factory and use steam pipes to uniformly supply the steam burned in the furnace. This will not only improve efficiency, but also transfer risks - the number of boiler operators and corresponding safety officers in each factory can be reduced."

What he said was actually quite right. Unified management could effectively reduce risks, and given Castel's rate of development, it might not be impossible for such a huge amount of energy to be used in the future.

And there is another advantage to this.

Others may not know, but Hughes understands the future development direction. In the future, Castells will definitely have an electrification industry revolution.

The central furnace boils water, which not only supplies steam, but also allows the convenient installation of steam turbines in the future. The biggest difference between it and ordinary steam engines is that steam turbines are more suitable for power generation.

Human technology is essentially about boiling water. Most of the thermal power plants on the Blue Planet use steam turbines to generate electricity. According to Hughes's plan, the amount of electricity that Castel will use in the future should be considerable.

So although the plan proposed by this researcher seems outrageous, it is actually quite feasible if you think about it carefully.

Just use more steel.

"My Lord, there is another benefit to doing this." The researcher added fuel to the fire when he saw that Xius was actually tempted.

"If the furnace is large enough, the network system can be used. The current network system is just a moving channel, but if this furnace is built, they can be used directly as inspection ports to lead to various parts of the furnace, greatly saving construction time."

Kill two birds with one stone.

The webway under Castel is now well-connected. The webway plan was proposed very early, and the banshees have been repairing it intermittently. Especially during the war, when the ground completely became a battlefield, the webway system successfully demonstrated amazing results.

Although it is just an ordinary passage, it greatly improves the flexibility of soldier deployment. Before, when the outer fortress was breached, it was an almost impossible task to evacuate the soldiers inside. However, with the help of the webway, the Crusaders preserved a large number of manpower, which made it possible to defend the cathedral later.

Kyle and his team even rescued the unconscious banshee through the underground webway. If there were no webway, it would be impossible for their team of mortal crusaders to carry the heavy banshee back from the battlefield.

"and"

The researcher spoke again, and this time he hesitated for a moment, which was unusual: "If Castel installs a power system in the future, this furnace can provide enough power."

Castell install powertrain?

It took Hughes a moment to realize what the researcher was talking about.

He wanted to give Castel, the entire island, some power!

What is this? The Wandering Castel Project? As expected of the Fire-Chasing Moth, this is too far-fetched. Is his thinking so advanced?

"My Lord, we are trapped on the island this time, and Castel was almost drowned by the sea. I thought..."

"If Castel could move, whether by sailing like a ship, standing up and walking like an animal, or flying through the sky like the Skyshroud Beast, this desperate situation could be avoided."

It’s true.

Xiu Si was silent for a while, then spoke with some difficulty: "Your idea is good, but have you ever thought about how huge this project is? Installing a power system for Castel - I won't tell you how to separate Castel from the bedrock below. If you want to make it move, the power required is too exaggerated."

"The amount of energy that the Pirate King can provide is also outrageous, sir." The researcher's expression was obviously fanatical. "This is the pollution of the entire Storm Ocean. This is a power that can change the world. It is a bit too wasteful to only use it to supply the factories on the island."

Hughes swallowed.

You know what, this is really quite attractive.

The Pirate King successfully gathered all the pollution of the Storm Ocean onto himself. If he could use it successfully, it might not be impossible to make Caster fly, let alone make him stand up.

Humans study controlled nuclear fusion only for the purpose of infinite energy. If they can really lock all the pollution in the Ocean of Storms into a furnace, then the eternally burning sun may be within reach.

His heart was pounding. Who could resist such temptation?

"You, you go back first. I have this plan. It is too huge to build such a large furnace now. The feasibility is still not very high. I..."

Xiu Si felt his lips dry. He looked at the researcher of the Fire Moth Chaser, gritted his teeth, and whispered, "You improve it, and I'll figure out the rest."

The researcher's face lit up with joy, and he turned around to leave, but was stopped by Xius.

"Wait a minute, what's your name? I'll have someone find you later to check on the progress."

"Tartaria, you can call me Tata. I grew up in the western part of the empire - now it has been destroyed by war."

Hughes nodded.

If the huge furnace was just an engineering challenge, then moving the Pirate King was downright daring. No one knew how to move this behemoth back and stuff it into the furnace.

All of Hughes's ideas are actually not much different from putting an elephant in a refrigerator: hang up the Pirate King, move the Pirate King back, stuff the Pirate King into the furnace, and light a fire.

Yes, his original plan was so simple, with only some arrangements that could not even be considered ideas. When the people of Castel tried to implement it, they found that it was actually more difficult than they had imagined.

The first thing is how to hang up the Pirate King.

The Pirate King is now like a queen ant. Although it does not have much attack power, its huge size means that it is not something that can be easily manipulated. Just how to tie a rope to it is difficult for the banshees surrounding it.
