Douluo starts with pea shooter

Clockwork technology can be regarded as a very special technology tree for this world. It has a very high efficiency in energy utilization, especially in terms of energy storage. Compared with energy storage devices such as batteries used by humans on earth, storage The effect is better, the output is more stable, and there is almost no loss during storage.

The most important thing is that this kind of energy is very stable. As long as the insurance is installed, there will be almost no catastrophic consequences. It is suitable for long-distance transportation, and it is also a renewable energy source.

With the support of this almost inexhaustible energy source, the construction of the Guangming Empire has also become faster. With the development of transportation, the logistics network all over the empire has also begun to be laid. The biggest change is probably that it runs through the entire continent from north to south. of the railway network.

The construction of something like a railway originally required considerable cost and relatively high technology.But in front of the superpowers in this world, these technical thresholds are all lowered. For example, the most expensive railroad track in the construction process has become the cheapest part in the construction process.

A strong man with the ability to manipulate metal has an extremely powerful ability to mine and smelt metal.It may be difficult to make them into artifacts, but if they are just made into rails, it will not be much more difficult for them than ramen.

Each transcendent can produce thousands of meters of rails a day, and there are so many transcendents that it is possible to produce enough rails to lay an entire continent.

As for the roadbed and sleepers of the railway track, it is not difficult to get it done. The roadbed is the strong point of the map attribute.They manipulated the earth to gather the soil to form a roadbed above the ground, and then laid rocks in the soil to make this foundation strong enough.

And the sleepers that carry the rails can be transformed into plants by a strong wood-type person on the spot.Their strength not only allows plants to grow quickly, but also is good at cutting and trimming plants, trimming the wood into the shape they need, and then laying them under the rails.

In this way, the construction speed of the railway is even faster than that of the road. After all, the construction of the road can only rely on the strong of the soil attribute, and the hardening of the road also requires the strong of the map attribute to perform certain operations on the road surface.Although turning mud into stone is a relatively simple five-element spell, it still has certain requirements for the strength of the controller.

It takes time to harden the road surface, and roads are usually much wider than railways, requiring a larger hardened area, so the construction is much slower.

When the first clockwork train was launched, no one realized how much change he could bring to this continent, until the train carried a large amount of supplies between the Southern Fire Empire and the Northern Water Empire, almost every day. They can go back and forth and transport a large amount of materials that were originally cherished. Only then did the supernatural beings realize that long-distance material transportation can finally get rid of space devices.

Although space props can also be produced, these things are undoubtedly very expensive. Although the effect of carrying props is very good, you can easily carry supplies and span a considerable distance without consuming too much physical strength. But the carrying capacity is still too limited.

All the space props on the mainland are sandwiched together, and the space contained in it may not be much larger than a fully loaded train.

And such trains are being built rapidly, and a large number of rail trains have begun to serve, transporting various materials to all parts of the mainland.

This also provides sufficient resources for the establishment of superhuman academies around the world. The cultivation of superhumans also requires resources, and many things are expensive not because they are really rare, but because they exist too far. Remote, difficult to transport to bustling cities.

With the establishment of the transportation system, the price of many precious supernatural materials has also been reduced in the process, and the speed of cultivation of practitioners has increased significantly. There were many detours.

In addition to some mineral resources, the most in-demand resource for the extraordinary is probably the magic crystal, or the magic core, which is the essence of Warcraft, just like the crystal crown of human beings. Whether it is cultivation, or using some one-time powerful abilities, you need to use this kind of resources.

Originally, people just caught wild monsters in the wild jungle, and then obtained their magic crystals, but on the one hand, this was inefficient, and on the other hand, it caused extremely serious damage to nature. Under long-term hunting, the number of monsters would decrease. Dropped significantly.

This is similar to the soul beasts above Douluo. Tens of thousands of years of hunting have greatly reduced the number of soul beasts. With the development of human beings, in order to obtain a large number of magic crystals more cheaply, people began to try Breeding of monsters.

The advantage of the monsters on the Five Elements Continent compared to the soul beasts is that their cultivation speed is faster. Although their lifespan is much shorter, they don't need tens of thousands of years to cultivate to the top level.

As long as they are provided with enough food and enough herbs rich in aura, they will be able to practice quite quickly, and after reaching a sufficient level of cultivation, they will be able to condense the most basic magic crystals, and these can already be used by practice in this way up.

Originally, it was difficult for human beings to carry out large-scale breeding of these monsters. On the one hand, it was difficult to capture them. If only one or two pairs were captured, it would require generation after generation of breeding if they wanted to develop large-scale breeding. hundred years.

The previous five empires did not have enough strength to capture Warcraft before they united, and it was not enough to gather enough Warcraft at the beginning.

On the other hand, the cost of breeding is very high, especially the cost of preventing these monsters from being destroyed. These powerful monsters are not as peaceful as ordinary livestock, and they will riot from time to time. Powerful, ordinary cages can't hold them.

However, after the five great empires joined together to form the Bright Empire, the cost of this kind of breeding has also been reduced to a considerable extent. The strong people with various attributes cooperate with each other to create a very strong cage. Those with thick metal walls insert metal into the wall to form a reinforced concrete structure, while those with wood attributes plant plants on the earth wall. The roots of these plants will wrap around the metal inside. Make this wall stronger, even if it is broken somewhere, it will be broken because of these plants, making it impossible for the monsters inside to escape.

Under this kind of combination, it is difficult for the captive monsters to make any moths, and before they grow strong enough, they have already been caught and slaughtered.

During this process, the most docile part of them will be selected, one part will be used as the contracted monster of the extraordinary, and the other part will be used to pull the cart, to be precise, to pull the clockwork.

With the gradual popularization of clockwork technology, clockwork energy is becoming more and more important. Ordinary depths can be used to charge energy, and so can monsters. The power of monsters is much greater than that of ordinary livestock. It is more suitable for this kind of work, but ordinary monsters will not obey people's orders if they are rebellious.The Warcraft that the extraordinary person signed the contract is also the heart and soul of the extraordinary person, and will not be used to perform such hard tasks.

The only way to do this kind of drudgery is to choose those who are docile and not selected by the supernatural among the monsters.

As this kind of magical beast that winds up the clockwork, human beings also have a choice.Not all monsters are suitable for this type of work.Although many monsters are strong in combat, they may be good at spells or speed, but they lack in strength and endurance, and they are not much better than ordinary animals.

However, although some monsters are not very powerful in terms of combat power, even supernatural beings look down on them, but they are very powerful in terms of strength and endurance, and can continuously recharge the clockwork for days and nights.

With the changes of the times, these despised monsters have become extremely popular types, and large-scale breeding has begun.

Many people even found that the value they brought to recharge the clockwork was much greater than the value brought by killing them and taking out the magic crystal. They kept them like treasures and were reluctant to kill them.

In fact, this is a very normal situation. Those creatures with strong combat power in nature often don't have much endurance. The creatures with really strong endurance and can travel long distances are actually those herbivores.They are often docile and do not have much fighting power. In order to survive, their reproductive ability is usually relatively strong, and there are quite a lot of them in nature.

Most of the magical beasts cultivated by extraordinary people today to charge the clockwork are of this type. Most of their prototypes are also herbivores, such as cows or horses. Of course, there are some special ones. Like a giant tortoise, or a giant beetle.

They do not have such huge individuals in nature, but among the monsters, there are beetles with huge size and great power. Their strength as combat pets is very average, but they have the huge power of insects, and they can drive very powerful torque. The big clockwork is working hard.

And these beetle monsters usually reproduce very fast. If they are in the wild, after they lay eggs, a large number of young individuals will die, because these insects will not take care of their own larvae. Most of the fragile larvae will be eaten, and some will be killed by cannibalism, but if their eggs are collected and cultivated artificially, hundreds of thousands of larvae can be reproduced at one time. In nature, the survival rate of these larvae may be Not even one percent, but in the process of artificial cultivation, their survival rate is definitely over [-]%.

And this improvement in reproductive efficiency is not 01:30 points. As long as you catch a few of these beetles, after one or two years of cultivation, you can get an army of beetles.

Originally, even obtaining such an army of beetles is actually useless. Whether it can fight against an army formed by ordinary people on the battlefield is a matter of opinion. There is a high probability that they will be slaughtered, but now they have shown their great value. After being cultivated, their strong strength and endurance make them the main force to charge the clockwork.

Especially those remote areas, areas far from water conservancy facilities, where most of the energy is provided by these insects.

Each village raises a few of them to recharge the springs in the village. Although it is still not comparable to the abundant energy in big cities, it is enough to meet the basic needs of this new era.

With the rapid development of the Bright Five Elements Continent, the Dark Five Elements Continent has actually gradually learned their development direction. These things are actually very easy to learn, and there is not much technical content. , is not difficult to imitate.

Through the space system, the exchanges between the Dark Five Elements Continent and the Bright Five Elements Continent are very frequent, and the two parties have become accustomed to the trading of crown crystals. Originally, the Dark Five Elements Continent wanted to destroy all their own crown crystals to weaken the Bright Five Elements The strength of the mainland side, but the feudal government's ability to control the local area was limited after all. A large number of tomb robbers still dug out the crown crystals they had buried to break the seal.

In the end, the official saw that this kind of thing could not be controlled anymore, and directly started the official excavation, digging out all the crown crystals that had been collected and sealed together, and then sold them through official channels.

It has indeed created a big advantage for the Dark Five Elements Continent, because all other channels have been annexed by the official channels. Anyone who dares to sell this kind of thing privately will be hit hard. As a result, the official Dark Five Elements Continent can If one increases the price of one's own crown crystals to a certain extent, the price of dark crown crystals will exceed about half of that of bright crown crystals for a long period of time.

However, things changed a little after the unification war in the Bright Five Elements Continent. As the Bright Five Elements Continent also unified its own crown crystal sales channels, both sides could fight each other on price. After a round of scolding, they finally had to compromise , I chose the two parties to exchange with an equal amount, one for another, so that there is no need for money transactions.

And the little advantage that the Dark Five Elements Continent had managed to gain before was also rebalanced in the process.

As time goes by, the gap between the two Heaven and Five Elements Continents will probably become smaller and smaller. Lan Nuo's plan is finally gradually becoming a success. With the technical exchanges and material trade between the two Five Elements Continents, at least two Mutual understanding has already emerged among the ordinary residents of the Five Elements Continent. As long as it lasts for a while, the war may not break out.
