Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

"A tower? Fuel tanks? A rocket launch tower?" Compared to a normal barn, that thing could only be guessed as some kind of super-large building.

"Grain Warehouse" Nian was also speechless at Kazdel and his people. Did they really need to build such a big grain warehouse?

Then the following year they found out that they actually used it, although it wasn't completely full, it was about half full.

If you stuff in the pig feed they use, it would probably be completely full.

"A granary? Can it be filled? Can it be eaten all?"

"It's probably full, but we definitely can't finish it all. Otherwise, why would I have asked you to come here to make ethanol fuel?" Nian thought for a moment. "Do you remember the beef from yesterday?"

"Not bad, tender and smooth." As the only one among the sisters who could freely enjoy the delicious food and the unique feeling of fullness it provided, Ling nodded. "Very good, it's just a little undercooked, what a waste..."

"Wake up, that's grain-fed."

"Huh? Grain-fed?" Simply put, it means feeding the child with a mixture of grains and feed.

"More accurately, it was a high-end export product fed with old grains fermented with hops."

Don't ask why high-end export products like this weren't affected by the war, because people who couldn't afford to eat during the war and economic crisis couldn't afford this stuff before.

Those who can afford it can drink fine wines from Kazdel and Syracuse and eat grain-fed veal steaks in their manors, even if the front lines are littered with corpses and blood. They spend money like water on these meals. Every dollar they spend becomes a cannonball falling on the heads of their country's soldiers on the front lines.

"They're really rich!" Ling exclaimed in astonishment. "The Great Yan Dynasty is half rich; they've already pushed the evil spirits back to their homeland."

"Wake up! The Great Yan Dynasty has money, but it doesn't use it for good!"

"That's true..." The two immortal beings fell silent. Back when the Great Yan Dynasty was still the same Great Yan Dynasty, it had no money;

When the Great Yan Dynasty had money, it was no longer the same Great Yan Dynasty; it was a dead end.

[PS]

Although CA and GW were inefficient and Aurora produced almost nothing, it was surprisingly Aurora-like.

The entire plot can be summarized in two very profound lines: "What's it to me!"

"none of your business!"

The Bear God was captured, and chaos invaded—"What's it to me!"

Having obtained a divine soul, what are you going to do with it? — "None of your business!"

World domination, global supremacy—"That's not true!"

The prince ascended to demonhood, blessed by the four gods—"Is that so?"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Shameful Buttocks Trade

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Shameful Buttocks Trade

The reactors originally used by the Terrans are very different from the current Originium reactors. Simply put, the current reactors are powered by the energy released by Originium particles when stimulated, that is, saturated Originium enters the energy release phase prematurely under the stimulation of a specific pulse signal.

Considering the global issue of Originium, it is essentially still about obtaining energy from solar energy. This brings up a rather serious problem: the size of Originium generators and reactors will be extremely large, while there is a clear limit to their power output per unit area.

Of course, even so, the Terran reactors are still powerful enough to propel behemoths like mobile cities forward. The Terrans are not lacking in energy, but the weight issue is a very serious burden for the Terrans in building aircraft.

However, the reactors used by our ancestors were something else entirely. Their energy was drawn from Originium particles, which are the special particles contained within Originium minerals. The difference between them and modern reactors is as great as the difference between nuclear reactions and coal-fired boilers.

Limited by the properties of Originium particles themselves, the power is still limited, but the volume can indeed be reduced significantly, and the technical difficulty is no different from that of a fusion reactor.

Because eventually a constrained high-energy particle cluster will be formed inside the reactor, but it will not convert the heat of the plasma cluster into electrical energy; instead, it will directly output electrical energy.

If I had to put it in a way, it's like a ball of lightning. Once its energy is depleted or its energy level returns to the environmental state, it will no longer produce an electric arc and will simply dissipate. It will also not produce Originium particle pollution, making it almost impossible for it to cause symptoms of Oripathy infection.

However, to realize this reactor, modern Terrans must master several key technical theories, including the source particle field effect theory and the special hydrodynamic principles that form it.

In addition, cable materials capable of withstanding this output are required; ordinary cables and carrier coils cannot withstand this instantaneous ultra-high energy output.

It doesn't necessarily need to be a superconducting material, but it should at least be composed of a highly conductive material and an outer cooling material. It also needs the ability to create a strong magnetic field and a particle container, a temperature control chip to control the spherical lightning-like particle clusters it generates, as well as an insulated and heat-resistant cavity, an outer particle injection and discharge valve, and a complex magnetic cavity to solve the high-energy particle drift phenomenon.

These are technological creations that are simply impossible for modern Terrans to achieve. If the environmental impact of modern Terra is taken into account, an outer anti-particle interference barrier would also need to be designed to prevent high-energy rock particles dispersed at high altitudes from interfering with the particle clusters inside the reactor.

To give an analogy, it's like playing billiards. These high-energy particles are the white balls, while the particle clusters inside the reactor are the colorful balls.

If there is nothing to shield it, then the stability of the entire particle cluster becomes a major problem.

Compared to nuclear fusion, this type of reactor is more dangerous. After all, the ion clusters in a fusion reactor are unstable and can stop the reaction by losing pressure, eventually turning into a cloud of scorching high-temperature gas that is ejected or rapidly cooled down. The external cooling system of a fusion reactor can usually reduce the coils to superconducting temperature.

However, if this Originium reactor becomes unstable, several high-energy spherical particle clusters will split and collide with the inner wall, much like being bombarded by a naval cannon. For a short time, it might be able to withstand the impact through methods like suppressing spell effect fields. However, if these splitting high-energy clusters continue to form, the engine will definitely explode.

Therefore, not only do the control loops and control fields need to be specially designed, but there also needs to be hardware capable of making such rapid adjustments to maintain the integrity of the central reaction particle cluster manifold.

This is what Ling meant when she said that if you can get your hands on these devices, she'll put together a propulsion system for you today that can launch a land-based warship into the sky.

Obviously, we can't get these devices in a year, but we can show this design to another engine expert.

"It feels even more complicated than my reactor." Old Xia was also getting a headache looking at it. Could he even build a nuclear fusion reactor?

Strictly speaking, if you don't insist on starting from raw materials, then theoretically it's possible. As long as there are enough spare parts on the shelves, we can assemble a few for you today.

However, if you ask him to solve the production process from raw materials to finished products, he has no idea how to do it. He doesn't even know how to prepare room temperature superconducting materials, although he certainly knows about laboratory preparation methods.

But here's the problem: where do the Terrans find materials formed in special cosmic environments above supernova explosions, and how do they create the corresponding super-heavy island elements using particle colliders?

"Can you do it?" "Take it apart, put it together, and we can barely put it together and see." We still have some superconducting cables on hand, and we also salvaged some usable spare parts from the scrap we had previously recycled, such as the particle container and graviton core of the Covenant Gravitational Confinement Fusion Reactor.

Replacing Terra's magnetic confinement with gravitational confinement is theoretically feasible, but its control law would need to be rewritten from scratch.

Moreover, the abnormal discharge could potentially destroy the graviton core, which is currently impossible to repair, at a very high cost.

"I don't think this is reliable." Old Xia finally gave the technical conclusion: "Technically feasible, but with terrible practical value." Although a type of aircraft unit is needed, a decisive battle aircraft is not needed, and there is no urgent need to damage these non-renewable and precious resources to do this.

“Hmm, I see. It would be great if we could find more wreckage.” Nian was a little disappointed, but then she suddenly thought of something. “The ship you came from seemed to be a cargo ship. Although the wreckage may have been destroyed, you said that it had thrown away a lot of cargo boxes before that. Is it possible that those cargo boxes fell on Terra?”

"It's highly likely, even if they were deformed by a meteorite impact. However, those cargo containers most likely just contain some scaffolding."

"But the materials themselves can be processed and recycled!" Nian exclaimed anxiously. "Have you been living in your own world for too long and think those materials are just common stuff?"

Although I don't know what the interstellar scaffolding is for, it's definitely much better than the stuff on Terra.

"It can't be processed..."

“I can do it!” Nian pointed to himself. “I can create temperatures exceeding 7500 degrees Celsius and local force field effects of no less than 400 million Newtons. I can process them. Even if the performance of the metal material deteriorates, it will still be better than all the structural steel we use now.”

"That makes sense!" Old Xia clapped his hands. The key reason he hadn't thought of this issue before was that there were no conditions to process these scaffoldings. The mining frame platform used by Liexingkai was not made of ordinary steel.

Ordinary starship armor and keel are not necessarily as strong as that thing—well, okay, the Covenant's starship armor itself is terribly weak, mainly for defense against laser and particle weapon attacks.

Against gravitons, kinetic energy attacks, or even more advanced weapons, armor is practically useless, or rather, by the time you reach a useful level of armor strength, the ship is essentially immobile; the effective effect is too low.

For units that can't even equip shields, then just let them pass through ineffectively. If they can't even equip shields, then with their limited power and size, they can forget about carrying any heavy armor. Either way, they'll be killed by a single shot, so it's better to just let them pass through harmlessly.

"But even if you can process it, and you don't care about the material properties decreasing after tempering, your processing force field is only the size of a palm."

To achieve this power, the only solution is to reduce the field size and increase the output, resulting in a processing area that is only the size of a palm. And this is just the theoretical value; in reality, it may be even smaller.

Using materials from the interstellar era to forge a good sword or spearhead is probably no problem, but to use them to forge large parts... well...

"Uh..." So the problem goes back to the beginning: building a new power furnace requires new materials, and processing new materials requires a new power furnace, creating a vicious cycle.

“Speaking of the Ancient Civilian Reactor, I remember Chernbonog has one…” Kal'tsit, who had been listening in, spoke up, “Wouldn’t it be a mini-reactor used to power repair equipment?”

"The kind of emergency reactor used in hospitals?" Nian thought for a moment. "It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, we only need to dismantle a part of the core equipment inside, and we can build a better one for the rest."

“And we’re standing in Kazdel right now…” The Doctor stamped his foot. “Because of Mr. Xia, we haven’t considered this issue before. After all, some things are a bit too early for us, and it would be a waste to waste them. Besides, it’s a very foolish thing to pin our hopes on luck.”

"what do you mean……"

"Dig!" Kazdel is full of ruins and relics of various ancestors, although most of them have been looted by mercenaries, scavengers, raiders, and invaders from various countries. However, some of the deeply buried ruins still exist.

“I have gravitational wave detection equipment that can sweep out any unnatural, discontinuous mass underground for mineral exploration. Of course, it’s also possible to discover certain organisms.”

The worst thing is when you're farming on top of the ground, and some Zerg players dig holes and plant mushrooms underneath you, causing the ground to collapse and leading to a war between humans and Zerg.

It was impossible for them not to fight. You destroyed my crops, I smashed your greenhouse. Both sides were furious, and the intensity of the fight was basically equivalent to the ancient farmers fighting over water.

Therefore, for safety reasons, when exploring a location, the underground structure will be scanned to avoid directly cultivating the mushroom greenhouses of insects.

Instead, they first launched a round of bunker-buster missiles into the area, washing it with plasma warheads, before starting to cultivate it.

If resources are unavailable, various poisonous gases, pesticides, and mining explosives can be used as substitutes.

Like every nation in Terra, Kazdel has now entered the stage of excavating graves for scientific research. The remains of the ancient inhabitants are marked one by one, and then they are examined one by one, starting with the places that are easy to excavate, to see what is usable, or what usable things are left that have not been taken away.

Compared to other people's grave-digging research, Kazdel's technology was obviously more advanced. They not only wanted the relatively complete equipment, but also the fragments and even the frame materials, which could be recycled.

As for the Chernobog issue, that reactor powers the city; removing it would render the mobile city's power system completely unusable, something Ursus would absolutely not agree to.

"So, find a black glove?"

"Who?"

"Kazimir" Letania is at war with its own side, so it's impossible for them to reach such an agreement. And it would be good enough if Victoria didn't cause any trouble. So, that leaves only Kazimir.

"We want the core city of Chelbonog, and the rest can go to them. Our reason will be that the Doctor needs further treatment, how about that?"

"Hmm, it shouldn't be a big problem." Although Kazdel and the others are all peasants, whether it's the Doctor, Old Xia, or Kal'tsit, they are still considered nobles in the eyes of nobles in other countries. Nobles have their own unspoken rules and dignity. In this matter, let alone Kazimierz, the probability of reaching an agreement with Letania is not low.

"Then let's do it both ways: on one hand, find people to dig, and on the other hand, try to contact Kazimir..."

"Are they capable of dealing with Ursus Army Group?"

"No, so we have to give them some help. The last thing we need right now is..."

Kazimir, "Arms?" The Grand Knights exchanged bewildered glances. You're still at war yourself, and you're selling arms to a theoretically hostile enemy?

Well, this isn't surprising, or rather, it's more surprising that the Xia Group has never done anything like this before, given their high moral standards.

After all, everyone knows about the war on Terra. It was the common people who died, and even if the nobles were defeated, it was just a matter of paying ransom. So, selling weapons to enemy countries, which seems like an act of blatant betrayal, is being talked about as if no one has ever done it before.

Moreover, strictly speaking, Kazimierz itself did not declare war on Kazdel; it was only because of its alliance with Victoria that it was dragged into the conflict. The two countries originally had no enmity—after all, the Sarkaz would not have crossed over Letania to rob them.

Moreover, prior to this, there had been considerable cooperation regarding the transcontinental railway and air routes. Kazimierz also made a small fortune in the grain trade alliance and financial warfare. Oh, you say Kazimierz's farmers went bankrupt on a large scale? What does that have to do with the knights?

“We need Cherbonog, or more precisely, we need something from the core city, a legacy of the First Men.”

"What is it?" The great knight became more vigilant; nothing even remotely related to the legacy of the ancients required careful consideration.

"A healing device, an ancient healing device."

"A healing device? You want that kind of thing..." The Grand Knight immediately looked enlightened. Everyone knew that the Doctor, one of the four great leaders of Kazdel, was not in good health and had undergone a second round of surgery. Therefore, their need for a healing device to save their leader was indeed an urgent need.

Out of respect for the nobility and a certain tacit understanding within the aristocratic class, they had to help with this favor. It was one thing for the common people to fight to the death, but it was normal for them to fight today and cooperate tomorrow for the sake of interests.

However, if the ruler and high-ranking nobles on the other side are actually killed, then the feud becomes a personal vendetta, and it is not so easy to reconcile.
