[Chapter 269 Do You Believe It Or Not]
“Oh!” The Queen asked curiously, “What’s so good about smelting iron?”
Robb smiled and said, “Didn’t you say last time that I wasted a lot of iron by supplementing the rails in the mine? I’m going to let you Let’s see if this kind of railroad track is a waste of iron.”
Hearing what he said, the Queen remembered the topic last time. After all, it has been dozens of days. The matter was forgotten, and now listening to him, she hurriedly straightened her sitting posture: “I see! Then I’ll take a look at it, this is also a very important business.”
She turned to the few dead beside her . The spiritual master and the civil servant said, “Let’s put the government affairs in your hands first. Let’s take a look at Robert’s new invention with this king. Although I don’t know much about his invention this time, but from what he has invented in the past. , are very interesting things.”
In her words, there is a hidden meaning, that is: study hard!
It turned out that the officials standing beside her were all officials responsible for internal affairs, and one of them was in charge of the management of the Royal Waterworks on the Bright Road, and this waterworks was invented by Robb.
As soon as the queen said these words, the official in charge of the waterworks immediately understood the meaning and stared at the crystal ball seriously.
And there is an official next to him, who happens to be the official in charge of “arms”. He manages the metal smelting industry, the weapons manufacturing industry, and even all the craftsmen on the road of light, all under his jurisdiction.
The official also immediately became interested and locked his eyes on the crystal ball.
Robb shrugged and said strangely: “Miss Queen, I called you privately, but you asked two big men to stare at me. What is this?”
Her Majesty’s strange words to him Lian Zhang has long been used to it, so he just pretended that he didn’t hear it: “Now, please start your performance.
”
Robb raised the crystal ball high, so that the opposite vision could be wider.
Her Majesty the Queen sat still, but the officer in charge of the armament immediately saw a huge furnace next to it, the blast furnace… You could only see the outside, but not the structure inside. But for such a technical officer, you don’t need to look to know what’s inside.
He whispered: “Your Majesty, this is an iron-smelting furnace, but it is much larger than the furnace used by the blacksmiths here, at least a hundred times larger. As far as I know, there is no such a large furnace in the human world. , only the dwarf craftsmen in the ground can build such a big furnace.”
Her Majesty’s face showed a puzzled look: “Why do you make such a big furnace?” The
armament officer whispered: “The bigger the furnace, the more Of course, the more ore you can smelt, but… just doing this, it is more difficult to heat up the furnace. Dwarves usually use the core lava to heat the furnace, and we can’t use the power of lava, we can only use Only magic can raise the temperature of such a large furnace, and proud fire magicians are disdainful to help people make iron… Besides, our iron ore production is not enough, and there is no need to send fire magicians to help people. For heating such a large furnace, if he sets up such a large furnace, he must have a very high ore output.”
Her Majesty nodded, and understood.
She has long been reported that Robb has a robot that mines very fast, but, according to the report of No. 8, every time the robot is used, it consumes something called “gasoline”, and the gasoline in Robert’s hands is very limited. , he was reluctant to give all the gasoline to the robot, and the robot is currently resting.
Her Majesty the Queen said indifferently to the crystal ball: “Mr. Robert, if you have such a big furnace, you must dispatch your mining robot to supply it with ore, and you are reluctant to use the remaining gasoline in your hand. , Don’t you think that this big furnace is a bit of a joy to build?”
Robb laughed: “I don’t need that robot, I just use the power of the miners to continuously get a lot of ore, do you believe it?”
The queen smiled slightly, and she didn’t say whether she believed it or didn’t believe it. She didn’t give him a chance to get slapped, or give him a chance to slap himself in the face.
But the officer in charge of armaments under her command was not so smart. He took a step forward and said to the crystal ball, “Don’t believe me! A miner wants to smash a piece of ore with an iron pick in the mine, and then move it out of the mine. It’s such a troublesome process, it’s not fast at all, even if you put in a lot of manpower, it’s not useful to have a lot of people in a small mine, maybe it’s crowded, but it makes it slower.”
Robb Smile: “Interesting! Miss Queen, you’re not being kind. You don’t want to be slapped in the face by me, so just hide behind and ask a subordinate to come out to block the knife.” The
Queen smiled and said nothing.
“Forget it, what a ghost woman.” Robb took the crystal ball and walked to the entrance of the mine.
As soon as I got here, the armament officer saw through the crystal ball that there was a railroad track on the ground, with sleepers underneath. Double track! These two thick rails extended from the mine, and protruded nearly ten yards outside the mine.
“Ah, how much iron is used for this.” The armament officer was distressed: “So much iron is actually used for auxiliary land.”
“This is not auxiliary land, it is used to guide mine carts.” Robb pointed. Refers to the end of the track, where a string of mine carts are parked. There are two wheels under the mine cart, which are fastened to the two rails. Above it is a body like a pallet, which is hollow inside and looks very fit.
The minecart and the minecart are connected by iron hooks, which can be folded and separated at any time, and can also be connected together at any time.
There are also two long ropes attached to the minecart, and a few bells are hung on the ends of the ropes.
Seeing this, the armament officer fell into contemplation. After more than ten seconds, he said: “Using the track to speed up the operation of the minecart and reduce the friction of the minecart moving in the mine? This is interesting! Using this thing, it is indeed more convenient to transport minerals, but… even if the minecart full of minerals is towed by rails, it is very heavy. When going down the hole, it is easy, and it is all over by slipping, but when it comes out, it is climbing. It’s going uphill, how much manpower does it take to push this car?”
Robb laughed: “Yes, yes, you are a technical person, you can understand the principle of the car and the track at a glance, but you still don’t understand the profound meaning of laziness. , is to save manpower as much as possible, and in a while you will know how I got this car up from the depths of the mine.”
He turned around and laughed loudly at the several jobs guarding outside the mine: “It’s ready to start. ”
