Chapter 179 (1/2)
The stone factory located within the three walls of Blackstone Town, as Elsie said, occupied a large street.
The stone factory is not an ordinary small house, but a huge factory very similar to the factory on earth. At first glance, Sean estimated that the stone factory must have dozens of mu of land, which is much larger than the manor of the poor Lord Elsie. I just don't know if the stone factory is really so full, or if there is something else in it.
Led by Elsie, Sean soon came to the gate of the stone factory.
Before entering, I heard a roar inside. It seemed that a large number of machines were working.
The world of miracle continent is not a pure world of sword and magic.
Not to mention the magic technology that is destined to be carried forward in the future, and can even easily change the national pattern and historical process. In modern times alone, there are three major scientific and technological development directions: the steam technology of goblins, the alchemy technology overlooking the spire, and the biotechnology of the hellson Institute. Among them, the steam technology of goblins is the most widely used - of course, it will be eliminated the fastest in the future, because magic guidance technology is the product of the comprehensive combination of magic and scientific and technological development, both in performance and function, Can completely eliminate steam technology.
However, at present, steam technology is still the mainstream of many industrial applications in the world.
The stone factory in Blackstone town can make such a loud roar. Sean estimates that there must be at least three kingdom class steam power machines in it - noise pollution, which is also one of the important reasons why steam technology has been completely replaced by magic guide technology. Once the outer gate of tonis fortress runs, the roaring sound can be transmitted to ten miles away. The starting sound of six imperial steam power machines is by no means so simple. It is said that the 100 manpower responsible for starting these power and working together to rotate the gate gear must even be equipped with five defense magic to block the terrible noise interference.
The stone factory itself did not restrict the access of outsiders. It seemed that the factory director was glad to have someone come in to visit his factory.
So Sean saw three kingdom class steam power machines in the stone making plant.
Each of these large power machines looks like a behemoth, about ten meters high, nearly fifteen meters long and four meters wide, in a rectangular shape. There are huge movable rulers on the left and right sides. On the front is a thing similar to a boiler, with five nuclear crystals of fire Warcraft built in. Once the power machine is started, a steady stream of high-temperature heat will be generated in the nuclear crystal to evaporate the water stored behind the power machine into steam, and then drive the movable rulers on the left and right sides to run quickly to generate strong power.
The biggest advantage of this steam power machine is that it does not need human care. The reserved water source of each steam power machine can ensure that the power machine can work for three days without interruption. However, because the stone factory does not start work at night, the reserved water source can generally be used for about six days. Usually, on the seventh day, the stone factory will start arranging people to transport water back for filling, which is a place that consumes more manpower.
Then Sean saw how the stone factory made black steel stone.
However, this manufacturing method made him feel a little different, because they actually threw large pieces of black reef boulders into a machine, and then used the powerful stirring force generated by steam power to crush the black reef boulders and grind them into powder. Then it is transported to another work area for manual processing. It seems that it is to pour other unknown things that are also powder. Finally, it is mixed with water and condensed into the model. After solidification, the formwork is removed and poured out, and then it is made into black steel stone through several other reinforcement processes.
This stone making process makes Sean feel like cement on earth. Of course, the manufacturing process is a little more complicated, and the black steel stone is stronger than cement.
”These are black steel stones?” I don't know why, Sean always felt that spending so much money on these things seemed to be a little at a loss.
”Or what do you think?” Elsie asked, ”well, you've finished your visit. Let's go quickly. The stone factory will close soon. Generally, it will close at night. I don't know why it is still open today. It's really strange. ”
Elsie, this guy, really still thinks Sean is just going to visit the stone factory. Sean was too lazy to explain this. Even if he could explain to Elsie why he went out alone as a leader, Elsie would still have many reasons to overturn it.
For example, wouldn't it be nice to send someone to such a small thing? Or where lords are so free.
Although these strange reasons seem tangled, Sean really doesn't know how to answer. So he didn't bother to argue with the fool. Anyway, Sean knew what he was doing in modge. As for being invited to Elsie's manor, Sean doesn't care. Anyway, he will have a lot of time in the next month and a half, as long as he places the order on the way back.
”Lord Elsie, why are you here?” Just as Elsie was about to take Sean away, a strange voice suddenly sounded.
Sean and Elsie looked back and saw a middle-aged man as thin as a monkey walking across the street. There were two other people around him, but they seemed to come from a big source. Only from the arrogant temperament emanating from each other, we can conclude that these two people must be of noble origin. But how could there be two nobles with obvious extraordinary status in such a barren place as modge's collar? And still came to the director of the stone factory, which made Sean a little curious.
But Elsie didn't seem very interested in this. When he saw the skinny factory director, he smiled and said hello. Of course, only in terms of etiquette, Elsie's practice was impeccable, because he said hello not only to the factory director, but also to the two nobles, but in exchange for each other's extremely light snort.
Even the factory director did not have the proper attitude towards Elsie as a civilian. Instead, he looked arrogant.
”Who is this?” Finally, the skinny monkey factory director was willing to look at Sean a little.
