Chapter 549: Mechanical revolution, technology sufficient to promote the development of civilization!
The warm sun in the winter morning does not bring about the same heat recovery as in summer.
Although the weather finally cleared up in the depression today, during the period between 6 and 7 o'clock, the room temperature still continued to be around minus 6 degrees, and the body temperature was only around zero degrees.
Seeing that most of the villagers who were joining in the fun began to sneeze from the cold, Somo had no choice but to end his lament and sneak back to the shelter.
The familiar door opened, and the familiar smell was still coming from inside.
But the slight difference is that the Tihu, King Kong, and two rotary cultivators parked in the garage have disappeared.
In its place is a workshop full of heavy machinery style!
The front wall, which was previously modified through drawings and had partitions where tools could be placed, has been completely demolished!
Today, the wall is evenly divided in half down the middle.
Seven or eight giant nails were driven into the left side, and several large hand-made tools were hung on the nails.
On the surface of the appliance, you can clearly see the protective paint that has not yet dried, reflecting the light from the outside world.
The right side of the wall has become a hanging tool storage column. From top to bottom, there are four columns with hundreds of various tools. It can be said to be a paradise for science and engineering men. !
Step into the shelter.
The surface of the previous stone floor has been evenly covered with a dense wooden floor.
Although these woods have only undergone simple treatment and do not have a very comfortable stepping feeling, they can be used to prevent the stones from returning to moisture in the cold winter and effectively extend the service life of precision instruments.
"Brother, how are you now? Isn't it much warmer than before?"
When he got to the house, he jumped off Somo's back.
Su Chan came to the corner familiarly and pressed the light switch on the first floor.
In an instant, the three pumpkin lanterns hanging on the ceiling began to shine with a warm yellow light, and the small wall lamps around the walls also lit up with complementary colors, completely illuminating all corners.
The temperature outside is still freezing.
But as this light shines in people's hearts, there is an extremely comfortable and warm feeling!
“Tsk, your design is much better than mine”
“This decoration, haha, makes me feel like I’m entering someone else’s home”
As if he had returned to his home in a civilized era, Somo looked here and there, his curiosity palpable.
Close to the stone door on the second floor, Su's previous rough design style was still maintained, and not many changes were made to prevent the overall structural rigidity from being affected.
But on the other side, it turned into an open laboratory, with large and small instruments scattered evenly.
Coupled with the large screen that was still lit on three sides, Sumo felt a sense of alienation in his heart.
“Everyone has been very enthusiastic about work recently, and the things coming out of the lucky bags are getting better and better.”
“Like this lamp, a screen, a computer, etc. All the bits and pieces are from inside!"
Pointing to the things on the ground, Su Chan counted her treasures.
"In exchange?"
"Of course. Now that we have implemented private property, we must exchange it with them."
Now, under the circumstances of complete separation of property.
The materials in the shelter and the materials in the village were also completely divided.
Back on the second floor, while putting on her shoes, Su Chan brought a small notebook, which neatly recorded the recent "prices" and the expenses in the shelter.
"Hey, have you recorded all this?"
"Not bad, let me take a closer look at the trading market conditions in our depression!"
I have seen the complexity of Liberty City. The goods ledger has created a barter for goods for the economy that has just recovered.
Sumo immediately became interested. He sat on a chair in the open area, opened the first page, and read it carefully.
The first is the trading situation.
Just like animals that store large amounts of food to wait for hibernation before winter, for the villagers who are still living in collective accommodation, the most valuable and most popular food resources are still food resources.
From ordinary unprocessed foods, such as flour, rice, and whole grains, to more advanced biscuits, cans, bread, and instant noodles.
As long as it is something edible, there is basically no need to worry about how to trade it. You can easily sell it and get back what you want.
On the other hand, after food, the second most popular item is daily necessities.
It can range from an ordinary toothbrush, soap, towel, washbasin, razor, to clothing to keep out the cold, a warm quilt, and a complete prey fur.
They are completely different from the group of refugees in Liberty City who don’t care about their living environment or quality of life.
Without the imminent pressure of survival, and with a focus on the future.
Human beings who have lived on earth for decades in the civilized era will naturally not be reconciled to their current life.
When washing, they need comfortable towels, a sturdy washbasin, and suitable cleaning supplies.
When sleeping, they miss a comfortable mattress, a warm quilt, and dry sheets.
Even when using the toilet, they will miss the soft toilet paper that they used to use.
From this list of transaction requirements that recorded various daily necessities, Sumo saw many things behind the paper records.
And these points are exactly the results that Sumo wants to see most after implementing the policy!
“Very good, as long as our internal supply and demand relationship continues to maintain this trend, there is no need to worry about failing to revitalize the economy!”
The blood supply of the lucky bag just meets the needs of the early depression without external economic stimulation. Dilemma.
And when the lucky bag event is over, it’s just the right time to spend the long winter and usher in the new “spring”!
At that time, let alone the distance, as long as the trade routes in Liberty City can be opened.
Let these demon souls take the goods in the depression to other places in the new continent, then what is waiting for the depression will definitely be an unstoppable take-off!
When he thought of this, Su Mo suddenly became excited and started to look through the data at the back.
As expected, the current "peace" has not made these villagers who have struggled in the last days give up their vigilance.
The third major category of transactions also happens to be weapons, armor, and some survival supplies.
Of course, the main body of the village is naturally the one that currently recycles the most of these things.
When the militia equipment was not completely unified, many villagers arrived without hiding it. They generously donated it to the village at a low price to equip the militia to protect everyone.
“Only these three categories, where are the rest?”
“What is left? The rest are just sundries, not worth anything!”
Instructing Su Mo to turn to the page where the payment was recorded, Su Chan revealed a snicker.
“Let’s take a look”
I heard that the imported products that were sold for tens of thousands of points in Liberty City turned out to be worthless in the depression.
Frowning, Somo rolled all the way to the back and began to mutter.
"Trade Fair on the morning of April 9th"
"In the first round, we purchased two ceiling jack-o-lanterns and four wall-mounted warm light lamps. We paid a total of three pieces of soap and one toothpaste?"
"In the second round, we purchased two LCD screens and a small cutting and polishing machine. One (paid by Lu Kuan), a total of five towels, and three toothbrushes? "
"The third round purchased a computer host, an LCD screen, and a micro centrifuge (paid by Ouyang Guo), and a total of shaving was paid. Two knives, one brand new bed sheet, three pairs of warm socks, and five towels!”
“.”
Each record, the items in front of it are often worth a lot of money, at least if they are placed in Liberty City! It has to be sold for 18,000 yuan.
But after looking at it, I saw that it only requires some ordinary daily necessities that cannot be replaced by ordinary daily necessities.
This sense of violation, even though Sumo was mentally prepared, still shook his head and found it difficult to accept.
“We don’t have electricity supply for lights now. Besides, even if there is electricity, you have to have your own house to use it. How long will it take?”
“ And this screen and this host are even more useless. Their value is basically the same as ordinary iron blocks."
"As for these instruments, when they get them, they plan to give them to us for free. Research, I insisted on giving it, so they had no choice but to accept it!”
"We still have plenty of inventory!" Su Chan looked like a housekeeper with her hands on her hips, her face full of pride.
Same as she said.
When selling seeds in the trading market before, Sumo had bought back a large number of items above the excellent level.
Because only the grade was screened and the classification of items was not screened, the items recovered were basically daily necessities.
At that time, Sumo was still a little helpless with these things that he could never use up.
But no one would have thought of it.
These things that have been inexhaustible for decades will become so popular after the establishment of an economic system!
So much so that I can exchange for so many high-value technological supplies!
“So, all these in our laboratory were recovered?”
Putting down the notebook, Sumo stood up and began to examine it with an unbelievable look on his face.
Compared with the crude experimental environment of the past, there are still big gaps in today's instruments.
But there is no doubt that with the help of modern computers and the abilities of Lu Kuan and others.
Even these things can be extremely effective and directly promote the technology tree of the depression to rise!
“Hey, Lu Kuan and the others, why didn’t they see anyone!”
Walking to the table where he used to work, Sumo picked up a notebook.
The robot that everyone used to be a parasite has now lost everyone's favor after Lu Kuan and Ai Jianfeng were "resurrected".
It was early in the morning, and the robot was still nestled in the corner. Judging from the dust on it, it was obvious that no one had used it for at least a day or two.
In the brain box, the brains belonging to Lu Kuan and Ai Jianfeng are not parasitic in the slime body.
"Uncle Lu and Uncle Ai? They set off to the hot stone mine. Oh, by the way, we have established a mining base there now"
"If there is no accident, they have also received the news and are coming back!"
Seeing Su Chan pointing at the back wall of the laboratory as she spoke, Su Mo stared over.
The fact that the hot stone mine is not as simple as it appears was something that Lu Kuan came to the conclusion after he discovered it in the heating management department and hurried over later and judged its nature.
But because the schedule was too tight, Sumo took Hao Qiang on the road to Liberty City that night.
This led to Lu Kuan's later idea of returning to the shelter to discuss it in detail, but it came to nothing.
This trip lasted only four days, and everyone decided to establish a mining base in the hot stone mine.
That means the value of this thing is definitely not low!
It was easy. After walking to the wall, Sumo found the information he wanted among the dozens of pieces of paper hanging.
Looking from top to bottom, there are three pieces of paper recording hot stone mine information.
The first one was full of various graphics. Looking carefully, Sumo found that the graphics on it were all hand-drawn ore shapes.
When there is no heat absorption, the entire ore shows a light black-purple color, which is not much different from ordinary black pebbles.
But when heat enters, the ore will undergo qualitative changes.
First of all, at 10%, the black-purple color on the surface of the ore will naturally be affected by the core inside and begin to shrink inwards and gather its shape.
At 30%, this shape will shrink further and gradually become a standard circle, floating inside the ore.
When the heat absorption progress reaches 60%, the black and purple color on the entire ore surface will recede, completely condensing the round shape inside the ore!
At this time, looking from the outside, you can still see the black and purple color inside. This is because the condensed ball has not been folded by the colloid outside.
Until 100%, the colloid outside the black ball will gradually undergo a wonderful change, completely wrapping the black ball inside.
At this time, the previously black-purple ore will appear milky white.
And due to the imbalance of heat, the colloid will start to drive the black ball inside to rotate and release energy outward.
“So this is how heat is absorbed and released!”
A simple illustration clearly explains the changes in the hot stone mine during the entire work process.
Through these physical changes, the possibility that the hot stone ore is a radiation material and is undergoing a chemical reaction is basically ruled out.
With full curiosity, Sumo looked at the paper below with the keywords recorded on it.
“Hot stone mines, heat energy exchange, induced signal release, natural high-energy batteries, energy storage tools, bombs, building materials, pesticides.”
Every familiar term represents This is the guess made by Lu Kuan and others about the use of the hot stone mine.
Of course, not all keywords are the result of hot stone mines.
From beginning to end, although there were hundreds of nouns listed on the paper, most of them were crossed out.
After scanning the rest of the paper, Sumo's eyes focused on the noun marked in red on the third piece of paper.
“Energy link?”
“Exactly!”
He read out the first noun on the third piece of paper in confusion. Before Su Mo could finish his words, Lu Kuan's jubilant and rich voice sounded behind him.
Subconsciously, he turned his head following the voice. After seeing clearly the appearance of the two figures who walked in the door, Somo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"What are you doing, staying up late at night and having a snowball fight in the snow?"
In four days, compared to the strangers they were at the beginning, Lu Kuan and Ai Jianfeng both People have become more and more sophisticated in controlling their bodies.
If you take a quick look, you can easily see anything that feels inconsistent.
However, unlike Chen Shen and others who were disheveled before, the two people who had just entered had thin snowflakes hanging on their heads and eyebrows, looking extremely funny.
"Hey, Sumo, don't tell me. This hot stone mine is really his grandmother's cunning. They are always absorbing heat during the day, and only release heat evenly at night. Do you want to find it? Experimental data, we can only go at night.”
“That’s not true. Lao Ai and I worked all night in vain last night. We only caught up with people’s butts and haven’t seen anyone yet!”
After patting his clothes and shaking off the snowflakes all over his body, Lu Kuan could not hide the joy on his face even though he was cursing.
“No, look, this is the experimental data we measured, and we are going to distribute it this time!”
Lu Kuan opened his military coat and took out a crumpled piece of paper filled with complicated formulas.
“In a sense, hot stones are indeed similar to the normal temperature superconductors they mentioned before, but this similarity is not about the principle, but the usage scenarios and usage.”
“After our According to research, during the process of releasing heat and energy, the loss ratio of hot stones can be controlled within 0.001%, and the most powerful thing is that its upper limit of endurance is so high that you and I can hardly imagine it. Do you know what this means? !”
Hand over the paper tremblingly.
Lu Kuan originally wanted to say something, but after realizing that Su Mo's knowledge level was now extremely high, he could only turn his head and explain to Su Chan, who looked curious.
But unfortunately, these professional terms he used are still fantasy to Su Chan, who has a high school education.
Seeing the latter's eyes widening as if listening to a story, and seeing the growing joy on Su Mo's face, Ai Jianfeng stepped forward and interrupted Lu Kuan's ramblings.
"Xiaochan, Lu Kuan said it is complicated, but in fact this thing is very simple"
"You can understand that the reason why it was difficult for us to make breakthroughs in the energy field in the past is because We can’t make breakthroughs in storage and transmission.”
“Like the batteries you’ve seen, they don’t bind electrical energy inside, but generate electrical energy through chemical energy, such as pumped hydro storage and flywheels. Energy storage, magnetic field energy storage, hydrogen energy storage, etc. can only use electrical energy to convert it into energy such as potential energy. When stored, it does not really directly save energy."
"But now, our hot stones are different. We can directly store energy in them. We only need to create a corresponding device to extract the energy inside perfectly and without loss, and it can even be used repeatedly."
Speaking of this, Ai Jianfeng seemed to be unable to bear the excitement in his heart. After exhaling two long breaths, he took out the hot stone mine from his backpack and kissed it devoutly.
“This is a revolutionary breakthrough, an existence that can promote the development of civilization!”
“As long as we mine ten tons, the power can be completely restored in the territory, and everyone can Enjoy free electricity converted from sunlight!"
"As long as we mine a hundred tons and push other technologies to keep up, oh my god."
"There are too many individual armors, energy towers, anti-gravity vehicles, high-energy weapons, real-time monitoring satellites, and ultra-long-range missiles, simply too many!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that from this moment on Come on, this is the mechanical revolution!”
