Along the way, sometimes sunny, sometimes stormy.
But no matter what the weather is, the goblin fleet has its own way to fight against all kinds of abnormal conditions, and its speed is not affected at all. It goes thousands of miles in a day, oh, no, thousand kilometers, two thousand miles.
What's more, during the voyage, the people on board were not idle at all. What's more, the materials piled up by the fleet were gradually reduced. At the same time, fresh goods were constantly added to the fleet, which were all the fruits of the voyage.
On the third day, from the warship, we can already see the shadow of the fiery red current sweeping the sky and earth in the distance.
Even though it is tens of miles away, the heat from the ocean current still seems to be able to burn people's skin
The temperature of the warship furnace began to rise slightly, and the smelting efficiency increased significantly.
At the sight of the tuntian current, the fleet stopped moving forward. There were only three flagship ships. They drove slowly towards the current, and soon entered the area where the atmosphere was red and the sea current was hot.
There is only a few tens of meters around the three flagship ships. It seems that there is a black hole with temperature. The hot air here becomes cool. The reddish sea will recover soundlessly through this place
In goblin warships, there will be a kind of wonderful wall, which is said to be made of very special stone. On one side of the wall is a large cold storage room for storing some food, while on the other side is an iron smelting furnace.
The name of this kind of wall is called the constant temperature wall by goblins, but Fowles prefers to call it Maxwell wall, because this thing, like the legendary Maxwell Demon, captures the free molecules around, and instinctively classifies them. If the speed is slow, put it in the cold storage, and if the speed is fast, it will be put on the furnace side. If it is not fast or slow, it will be put in the furnace Yes.
It is this wall that keeps the temperature of the surrounding environment of the goblin warship constant, and realizes the redistribution of energy in an incredible way. Its existence, like the birth of the perpetual motion machine, subverts the principles of physics.
However, even if it is a demon wall, there is a limit to bear
In the iron smelting furnace, black iron ore is constantly put into the furnace. At the same time, there is a red iron stream, combined with red fog, gushing out from the other end of the outlet. Yes, it is!
The temperature in the furnace has reached a frightening degree. The molten iron is boiling in the furnace, and even the iron vapor is constantly volatilized. Under such high temperature and high pressure, the tapping of iron smelting furnace is not the normal appearance.
In addition, the speed of iron flow is still accelerating, which has greatly improved the smelting efficiency of goblin warships. However, it is believed that before long, either the demon wall will be damaged, or the iron smelting furnace under high temperature and high pressure will explode, and the iron current will be rampant in the middle cabin.
Goblin battleships are mainly for fighting and supplemented by enjoyment. There are usually not too many cargoes to be frozen and stored. The demon wall is usually only one side, and the flagship is only three sides.
The flagship sailed into the current, but only a few tenths of a nautical mile - of course, the span of the sea here is more than ten times that of the other world - the situation in the middle cabin has deteriorated to such an extent that it can not be cleaned up
There is no place to lay aside the molten iron, let alone cool it. The molten iron can only be directed to the outside of the warship directly through the high-temperature resistant pipe at the bottom of the magic ember, allowing it to flow into the sea.
The surging molten iron stirs up white fog, red iron current and white boiling fog in the sea. The strange sound of "HISHI" can not be heard. A group of people are excited by the water, and they do not give up the iron pieces sinking to the bottom of the sea for a moment and a half
This is the virtue of the fleet.
It's already reached the limit. It's impossible to go further People were sitting in the command module, but the situation in the middle cabin was uploaded and updated every moment. As if he had seen it personally, Fowles made a calculation, and finally at a certain moment, he gave the order to turn back.
The goblin did not lie. With the processing ability of the battleship Maxwell Demon wall, the goblin can not cross the goblin current safely. If If the number of demon walls is doubled, the balance between cooling and heat release should be achieved. However, the design of merchant ships can be easily traversed.
Merchant ships are not Maxwell's, and the number of demon walls is more than that of warships. The main reason is that there is no furnace on the merchant ship. On both sides of Maxwell's wall, one side is cold storage, the other side is pool
The water tank has a continuous supply of hot water to the interior of the warship. If the water temperature is too high, it can be directly turned into steam and discharged into the air above the ship. In a word, what the iron smelting furnace can't do, the boiler can easily do it.
The goblins are puzzled by this situation. There are many arguments in the technical manual, but from the perspective of a penetrator, Fowles can see the clue at a glance - in another universe, the specific heat of water is almost ten times as much as that of iron, in this world, the situation seems to be similar
This means that if the iron smelting furnace is irreversibly transformed into a boiler, there should be no problem for goblin warships to cross the current, but Fowles didn't intend to do that. It was of great significance to provide a continuous stream of black iron smelting furnaces, which were much more powerful than a boiler, except that they could not cross the current.Fowles would not do that unless he had to. He had other ways.
The three flagship ships pulled out of the current with some embarrassment, but they did not turn around and did not stop. After the current joined the ordinary warships, the company's fleet turned a direction and began to move northward along the current.
The speed of the fleet was about 1000 kilometers a day. It was December at the moment. After nearly two days of travel, the sun moved from the north to the south.
At the same time, the temperature of the surrounding sea area is getting higher and higher, and the wind is getting smaller and smaller. Finally, it disappears completely. The company fleet sails into the equatorial windless zone of the ocean.
For traditional sailboats that have to rely on wind power, this is also a restricted area for navigation. Without wind, there will be no power. Crossing thousands of kilometers wide climate zone by rowing oars is just like a dream. Only mechanical ships or magic ships like goblin warships can safely pass through the sea.
Of course, if you want to cross this area with the power of the side current, it will not take much time, but the premise is You have to have a boat that can withstand the scorching of the current.
in the windless zone, the sky is blue and the sea is blue, and the ancient well is flustered. It seems that the water under the boat is not the sea water, but the well water and pool water
There is almost no sound between heaven and earth. There is only the light sound of "Hua Hua Hua". Nearby, it is the sound of driving water and stones from the bottom of the ship to push away the current. In the distance, it is the background music of the ocean current.
The severance of the road of return has left the fleet in a certain state of impatience, although It is revealed that the next step plan will definitely be able to suppress this emotion. However, for the sake of the following development, Fowles did not do so. He was still stuck in the middle cabin day by day, continuing his "invention and creation".
Fortunately, after these days of sailing, the second material processing season is coming to an end. The staff are dominated by the joy of making money, which also dilutes the impatience.
At the end of the first processing season, the company paid out about 200000 gold coins for internal purchase. Only 350000 of these internal purchase funds were left in the hands of the employees, and the other 100000 yuan returned to the company's warehouse and replaced the mountain of materials.
It can be said that at the beginning of the second processing season, the scraps of the thousands of fierce sharks have been divided up by the employees who are eager to make money, although With the productivity of the people on the warship, it is impossible to finish processing these materials in a short period of half a month. It will take at least two months or more.
Some people hoard materials, raised prices, sold them to others to earn the difference; others employed a large number of idle people to pay OEM fees to speed up production
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are 369 grades, and there are five flowers and three layers. With the end of the second processing season, the gap between the rich and the poor in the fleet becomes more obvious.
The original workshop owners, the assets have basically expanded to more than 1000 gold coins, and in the next two or three months, the number will continue to rise steadily.
Due to the remarkable and stable income of traditional processing industry, such as Armand hammer, Raymond Crocker, Frederick Tudor and other people who have made their own fortune, most of them have set up their own workshops and gained the first quarter's profits.
From their business perspective, it is impossible not to see the business opportunities of increasing material prices after the raw materials are divided up due to the decrease in supply They have invested in industry.
The guy who dares to fight and dare to fight, who has changed all his assets into materials in the first quarter, has accumulated at least one or two months' available materials, which can be processed slowly in the following time, and gradually accumulated assets, which can be regarded as officially stepping into the middle class.
Those who did not replace their assets with materials showed a decreasing trend with the increase of their conservatism. These people took money to the logistics department to try to buy materials at the beginning of the third quarter, and were told that the materials had been sold out.
From then on, I didn't buy materials to process any more. After half a month, the property would be doubled several times
In the company's warehouse, various materials are indeed increasing slowly, but they are not the company's property, but the spoils of ferma, ingjila and others. They did not choose to sell them to the company at a lower price. All the materials and raw materials are now sold at their own prices. The money they get is 40% for themselves and 60% for the company. The prices of raw materials have jumped For a while.
In addition to the redistribution of wealth caused by market fluctuations, there is another industry, which has also led to further aggravation of inequality between the rich and the poor, and even Some people lost their money because of it - gambling.
