Chapter 278 I am not modest
Lu Yao clicked the prompt bar.
The scene jumps to a land boat route outside White Castle. This is where land boats transport various materials. White Castle has specially opened up a new road in order to obtain the specific raw materials needed in a timely manner.
At this time, a strange-shaped carriage was traveling on the boat road.
The horse at the front of the carriage was replaced by a box-shaped metal device with a bronze horse head on top and a large iron box at the bottom, with huge iron wheels installed on both sides of the box.
The iron wheels drove the vehicle forward on the road, combining speed and stability, quickly leaving the boats on both sides behind.
The one driving the steam carriage was Shang Xun.
Lu Yao opened the backstage encyclopedia.
…
[Steam Carriage]: Shang Xun invented a vehicle based on the improvement of the horse-drawn carriage and the ground boat. It uses a steam furnace as the power source to drive the wheels for rapid movement.
HP: 66/ 66Mana: 0/ 0Damage: 0Defense : 1Speed: 12 ……
Initially, Shang Xun wanted to make the Earth Boat completely controllable by humans, but the method of using a steam furnace instead of the black element proved to be completely unfeasible.
All the structures and operations of the Earth Boat are inseparable from the core of the Black Element. The Wuji people rely on the Black Element and the Earth Boat to temporarily merge into one, which is something that outsiders cannot do.
Taking out the black element, the ground boat itself is a ground boat made of mud and stone.
And to drive such a heavy ship on the ground becomes an impossible task.
Shang Xun had to adjust his direction.
He aimed at the Yao clan's traditional vehicle, the horse-drawn carriage.
Compared to a ground-moving boat, the structure of a carriage is more sophisticated and intuitive. Any member of the Yao tribe can understand that a carriage is pulled forward by horses.
After repeated attempts, Shang Xun decided to use a steam furnace to create a new type of iron horse. The iron horse would not get tired, and it would keep running as long as the coal and omnipotent stone in the furnace could burn and provide power.
He consulted and sought help from other scholars and craftsmen in White Castle and finally made the iron horse.
The iron horse does not need a tail or four legs, only a body and wheels on both sides to drive the vehicle forward. The driver sitting in the back only needs to use the steering wheel to control the direction.
The manufacture of a steam carriage is not difficult, the idea is more important, which is also what Shangxun is good at. The real difficulty comes after it is put on the road.
First, there's the wheel issue.
Wuda City's smelting and mining techniques were so sophisticated that they had spread to almost half of the world, making the Yao clan's available metals extremely abundant. Unfortunately, the manufacturing process did not grow as fast.
Wooden or copper wheels are not hard enough and are prone to wear and tear and nicks, which can also cause an unstable center of gravity when the vehicle is moving forward quickly.
Furthermore, once the steam furnace is ignited, it will continue to spew out steam, and the wheels will keep turning, making it difficult to stop.
Shang Xun replaced the copper and wooden wheels with iron wheels, and quickly extinguished the fire by closing the furnace cover and pouring in gravel.
Then there is the issue of road conditions.
Steam carriages can travel on any road that horse-drawn carriages can travel on, but in heavy rain or on muddy roads, steam carriages are more likely to get stuck in the mud or slip and overturn because of their heavy bodies.
But in general, the steam carriage is more widely used than the land boat. As long as you know how to use a steam stove and a carriage, you can drive it, and you can drive it even outside the land boat.
Shang Xun drove a horse-drawn carriage and took a boat to the East Continent, all the way into the Rose Garden in the Valley of the Gods.
He kept his promise and drove back.
Hongye was extremely happy. She sat in the steam carriage, looking around, her face full of curiosity.
"You are amazing. You built a car so quickly."
Shang Xun controlled the rudder: "I was lucky. I happened to see Baibao making the [Brass Furnace Dragon]. I went there and got the reward, so I was able to complete this thing."
Hongye asked curiously, "I heard from Lord Pinkman that the brass furnace dragon is the most incredible invention of the Yao clan so far. What does it look like?"
"Like a squashed dragon."
"ah?"
"That's right. Although the appearance is not very good, the Brass Furnace Dragon is indeed a replica of a dragon."
Shang Xun said: "It can cast spells directly. As long as you stand in the casting position, you can trigger the spell in dragon language through the brass dragon bone. It was still very shocking when I saw it in person."
"We did an experiment. We used a brass furnace dragon to cast the highest level of the [Endurance Spell] on a pony. It ran around the White Castle for a whole day and was so excited that we had to knock it out. Otherwise, it would have continued to run and damaged its body."
“You guys are amazing!”
"It's Lord Philus, the prophets, and the craftsmen who are amazing. I can't really help them."
"Nonsense! I heard from Lord Pinkman that Lord Philles thinks highly of you and said that you solved the most important problem of White Castle... He said you are a genius!"
"I'm not a genius at all. I just got it right by luck."
“You are too modest!”
"I'm not being modest. To be honest, my family was poor and I had to do a lot of work to make ends meet. So my mind is a little chaotic and I often have random thoughts."
"If I have to say anything, I have to thank Lord Yaoshen. If it weren't for the gods' protection, I would have died on the streets when I was a child. My father had just died at that time, and life was indeed difficult."
"It's not easy for you, I will take good care of you in the future!"
In the eyes of a lover, every woman is a beauty. No matter how Hongye looks at Shangxun, she is satisfied and her head is full of hearts.
Witnessed by Pinkman, Shang Xun and Hong Ye officially became husband and wife in the rose garden, marking the first union of a rose envoy and a human in the Yao tribe.
The only sad person is the little fish man.
Yugu finally came back from relaxing and witnessed the couple taking a drive and having a rose wedding. He had to shed tears in the car and give his blessings throughout the whole process... After that, he applied for another long vacation.
Again, Pinkman agreed.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
The birth of the steam carriage had a more direct impact on the secular world than the brass dragon.
For most people, things in the supernatural realm such as magic are still too far away. What they can see are still the most common food, clothing, housing and transportation. The most important thing is to have a better life in these aspects.
Shang Xun invented the steam carriage and readily announced all its structures and technologies in White Castle.
For him, the important thing is to make the steam carriage run and feel the feeling of flying. The salary of a tenured scholar is already quite good, and there will be subsidies from White Castle in the future.
This invention was first bought at a high price in Yancheng. Merchants were extremely sensitive to the market and new products, and they gathered craftsmen as quickly as possible to produce the first batch of steam carriages.
Just as the merchants had judged, the appearance of the steam carriage on the road caused a huge response and crazy pursuit.
The wealthy groups were the first to buy steam and horse-drawn carriages.
From now on, they no longer have to wait for the boats, they can just drive wherever they need to go, which is faster and easier than taking the boats. Most importantly, they can enjoy the same driving pleasure as the Wuji people.
The steam carriage was transformed into two models, one is a private carriage, and the other is a large vehicle for transporting goods, which can be equipped with a freight car at the back, so that more goods can be transported faster. Both models have their own uses and quickly became the trading vehicles of merchants.
Several other cities eventually realized the situation and introduced steam and horse-drawn carriages.
However, one step slow leads to another. No matter whether it was Yaocheng, which had the most complete technical reserves, or the low-key but wealthy Sanilo, the steam carriages they manufactured were always more expensive than those in Yancheng, resulting in Yancheng indirectly controlling most of the steam carriage market.
Businessmen may not be good at inventions, but they are professionals in controlling costs and reducing expenses.
Outside Yancheng, steam carriages with iron horse heads came and went, and the land boats on the land routes were gradually eliminated, and they returned to the underground and Wuda City.
Lu Yao felt a little touched.
The Wuji people's unique abilities are full of potential, but their development capabilities are not very good. So far, they have not been able to further expand the Wu element and develop new areas.
This is probably due to the conservative ethnic characteristics of the Wuji people.
Fortunately, they have the omnipotent stone, and they can buy the finished product if they have money, which can stimulate consumption.
Lu Yao stood up and twisted his waist.
As you twist, the game interface appears.
【Dark demons were found in Uluru.】
[The Yao clan's underground exploration capabilities have been slightly improved. ]
Lu Yao immediately looked at the backstage.
…
[Black Magic]: Sediment formed after the decomposition of the corpse of a supernatural being or a fire-starting item. It absorbs a large number of dead plants and animals and evolves into a high-concentration, high-density waxy grease, which contains powerful but complex forces. It is extremely heavy and usually gathers and moves deep underground. A special creature.
…
Lu Yao read it several times.
From the description, Black Magic and Oil are somewhat similar.
Is the oil in the Yao world alive?
