Lin Zixuan couldn't help but think of Zhongli's change from flying on a pillar to flying on a plane. I hope he won't become a road killer like Beidou!
Chapter 76 Trial Operation of Power Generation Equipment
For three months, a new type of tractor appeared on the cement road. There was a very small space in the front for people to sit on, and a huge truck bed at the back, which was loaded with iron ingots, iron pipes, and iron plates.
Every day, countless vehicles of this type transport these iron products from the new ironworks in the Layered Abyss to the large port in the new city. The same is true for the ironworks in Mingyun Town.
Three huge warehouses, each 500 meters long, were built near the port. They were surrounded by barbed wire and all the grass, rocks, bunkers, etc. outside were cleared away.
A sign was also hung up indicating a militarized management area (strict control area), and unauthorized personnel were prohibited from entering the 100-meter area. There were also five teams of Qianyan Army guarding the area.
In the teahouse.
"It's been three months since the last scientific research meeting, and there seems to be no movement in these three months! There are only these transport vehicles called tractors. Do you know what they are doing?"
"The amount of material transported in every day is already an astronomical figure. Yesterday alone, a reporter estimated that nearly 400 tons of iron were transported in."
"My friend is working inside, and he only told me two words: 'miracle'!"
"???miracle?"
"Yes, that's what he said. It's a pity that he signed the Emperor's Contract, otherwise he would have been able to say it out loud."
“Very curious about what’s going on in there.”
"With tens of thousands of people working together, and Young Master Xuan as the general commander, what he comes up with will definitely shock people."
"Ten huge triangular iron piles with wheels were erected at the new port. The width of the iron piles is thicker than a person."
"Yes, I saw it too. There is an unknown machine on top of those iron stakes. I don't know what it is used for."
"Now there's even a train lane built through there. I don't know if my little heart can handle it."
Inside the shipyard.
Beidou looked at this huge ship with a completed base, then thought of his own ship, which was totally incomparable. He looked at Lin Zixuan, who had dark circles under his eyes.
"How long have you not slept?"
"I've been too busy lately. I study with the Emperor in the morning, go to the Liyue Research Institute to study generators in the afternoon, go back to Mingyun Town to study oil seal technology at night, and cram for ancient rune knowledge late at night. Recently, all the projects are almost completed, so I came here to check on the situation."
"What an unimaginable day. This boat is so heavy, is it really not going to sink?"
"Yes! So you have to protect it well. It's very dangerous if you encounter those giant beasts."
"I don't think those giant beasts are as big as it. If it's this big, I wonder how fast it is."
"This is just the first generation version. According to calculations by researchers, the theoretical average speed is close to 40 kilometers per hour, and it can run nearly 900 kilometers in a day.
Moreover, the researchers also solved the problem of power loss caused by overheating that the aircraft encountered at the beginning, and added a coolant device. In the test, it can run for 10 days and 10 nights without any power loss. "
"So fast? I'm confused now. The freight I used to do was just like playing house."
"You can't compare it like that. This is something that was built by the power of an entire country. It's completely different from your own efforts. You have to know that the ship you got by yourself is already better than 99% of people.
To me, since it is the cargo center of the entire Teyvat continent, it should look like a cargo center. Isn't it normal for Liyue to have the best, fastest, and largest cargo ships?
By the way, what are you doing here? You still need to consider the armament configuration of the two warships next to you. "
"I have already made my selection, so I came to see the ship to be escorted. I didn't expect it to be so big. One container is equal to the loading capacity of an ordinary ship, and this ship can carry more than 1 containers."
"This is also the difference between iron ships and wooden ships. The space utilization rate is different. Stronger materials can maximize the freeing up of more space. Your 60-meter-long ship is really a child to this guy."
"My ship is already big, isn't it? Ahhh! You have to compare the goods!"
“Hahahaha~~~” Lin Zixuan laughed happily.
Lin Zixuan looked at the huge base and couldn't help but sigh. Apart from the crystal engine, the pump, the generator and the electric light, there was almost no electrical equipment. Although it was equipped with a fairy talisman intercom and a fairy talisman elevator, their service life was not long and they needed regular maintenance.
In summary, it is just a large iron shell. Fortunately, there are many rock element owners in Liyue, who are responsible for checking the welding conditions and cracks of the ship to ensure that every steel plate will not be flawed.
There were more problems to be solved. No one had ever operated such a large ship before, and it took time to learn and grow in all aspects. There was also the use of cranes and freight vehicles, all of which required staff to learn.
As long as it is made in Liyue, the people of Liyue Port will benefit from it, and then it will be up to the people of Liyue to transform it as needed. After all, the amber solution is produced in Liyue, and the transportation cost can be kept very low.
This ship can carry more than 1 ordinary ships at a time, and it is escorted by two warships and has a very high speed. It can be said that this is clearly intended to make huge profits. If it is well maintained, it will not be a problem to make profits for 30 years.
Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Umijima all had no transport vehicles, so they had to design a container handling device. This made Ningguang and her team arrange for people to negotiate the port renovation project. It would be embarrassing if they couldn't unload the cargo when they arrived at the port.
It shouldn't be a big problem. Mondstadt has friendly diplomatic relations with the island, Inazuma Raijin is in debt, and Umi Island is so poor that it wishes it had a big port.
Mingyun Town.
Looking at this slowly rotating small generator set, I remembered the results submitted by the research team two months ago. I have to say that the combined strength of the entire Liyue research team should not be underestimated. They have almost completely abandoned their original design.
All kinds of wonderful ideas have given me great inspiration. However, many new ideas require time to tackle, so I first come up with a set of mature technologies, and then let these people slowly upgrade or transform them in the future.
"Master, the lamppost from Liyue Harbor to Wangshu Inn has been erected."
"Then let's start here too! We'll form groups of 10 kilometers each and connect them in parallel to the bus."
"Yes."
"The first step of the Thousand Lights Project can finally begin." Lin Zixuan looked towards the direction of Liyue Harbor, hoping that the people of Liyue would like it!
Deep underground next to the secret realm of Zhenlei Lianshan Secret Palace.
Hundreds of researchers are conducting final calculations and inspections here. The interior space here has been solidified by the rock element owner and paved with reinforced concrete. Five large generators are placed aside, ready for installation.
The generator set is 15 meters long, and its shape is like an inverted "工" character, but the large pillar in the middle is 3 meters wide.
At the bottom is a turbofan with strange runes engraved on its blades. Once the runes come into contact with the elemental force, they will generate a slight thrust, and coupled with the flow of the earth veins, they will begin to rotate continuously.
The turbofan blades carry very few runes and only need to be replaced once a year. At the top is the detachable power generation device, and the researchers are making the final adjustments to it.
Lin Zixuan and Ganyu walked down from above. In order to avoid any accidents, Lin Zixuan went to Yuehai Pavilion and called Ganyu. With two immortals as a guarantee, any accidents could be suppressed as soon as possible. After all, this location was too close to the earth vein.
"Team leaders report the situation."
"The turbofan and power generation equipment were tested and found to be normal."
"The oil seal device is tested normal."
"The cooling device is tested normal."
"The speed of the earth vein flow has not changed at present."...
"Then, the installation of the first set of earth vein generators will officially begin." Lin Zixuan gave the order.
The crane lifted the bottom device of the generator and moved it to the designated installation site. Ten owners of the Rock Elemental God's Eye softened the ground, and the turbofan device slowly sank into the soil.
"We have reached the earth vein and started the soil solidification operation."
"Soil solidification work completed, entering the second procedure: the oil pressure seal shows normal values."
"Enter the third procedure: turbofan unlocking."
Lin Zixuan pulled the unlocking trigger, and the middle transmission bearing began to rotate slowly.
"Roar, roar, roar!" People hugged each other and cheered. Uncle Fu recorded this moment with a camera.
Lin Zixuan couldn't help but clench his fists. It worked. Liyue finally had a device that was almost perpetually moving.
"Be quiet, there are two final steps!"
"Enter the fourth procedure: stop the turbofan and install the generator."
"Splicing completed, entering the fifth procedure: generator test run."
After connecting the lines, under the expectant eyes of the people around him, Lin Zixuan pulled the unlocking trigger, and the generator started to turn slowly.
People saw the light bulb above the large voltage regulator light up and cheered again.
The power of the earth veins, a nearly perpetual clean energy source, has been mastered by Liyue. Simply utilizing the flow of the earth veins will not affect the operation of the earth veins at all, and is more cost-effective than building a dam and hydroelectric power station. Even the old man agrees, so it is even less likely that justice will come to the door.
Although the current conversion efficiency is not high, with the policy support of Liyue, more talents will innovate and develop in the future and make more contributions to Liyue.
"In more than three thousand years, I have never thought that the earth veins could be used in this way." Ganyu looked at the slowly rotating device, and then looked at the people who were cheering.
“This is the inventiveness of human beings. Now that we have this almost unlimited energy, we can do even more.
Moreover, this device will not attract the attention of Sky Island. After all, it only borrows the flow of the earth veins, does not cause damage to the earth veins, and does not use the power of the abyss. "
"I feel like Liyue Harbor has changed so much in the past few years that I almost don't recognize it anymore."
"So, are these changes good or bad? Everything has two sides. I just need to have a clear conscience."
"With you here, Liyue Harbor has really become more lively, and people's lives have become much better."
“Life will be better in the future.”
By night, all five large earth vein generators had been installed. It was time for the people of Liyue to experience the benefits of unlimited energy.
Chapter 77 Liyue Second Cycling Race
Early April.
"Extra, Extra, registration for the second Liyue cycling race has begun!!!"
"Wow, this is a big deal. After two years, the Liyue official finally held it again."
After several days of fermentation, people in Liyue Harbor began to discuss the issue.
"Although some cycling competitions have been held in the past two years, they are all small-scale. However, the strength of the cycling teams supported by some businesses has become clear."
"I am most optimistic about the three teams from Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. They have won many championships in those competitions."
"There are foreign players participating this time. Our players have practiced much longer than others, so we should have a chance of winning, right?"
"Yes! The first place in the first competition was taken by Mond. That was the first medal made by Emperor Rock!"
"If it weren't for Miss Xin Yan's fighting for our Liyue, we probably wouldn't have gotten the second place prize."
"Xin Yan's rock music is really explosive. Every time I pass by the entrance of her concert, I feel like my heart is screaming."
"Yeah, yeah, I went to listen to it once. Only young people can accept that explosive rock music."
"I heard that Eula Lawrence from Mond will also be here this time. The odds are a bit lower. Do you want to buy some?"
"It's hard to say. In this competition, the players from Liyue are not bad. I think it's more reliable to vote for them."
“This time, there may be a big gap. I rode my bike to see it. It’s still from Luhuachi to Liyue Harbor, but there’s a mountain road in the middle.
The mountain road has been paved with cement. Although the uphill section is only 5 kilometers long, there are still many places that are very steep. I tried to ride up by myself and it was very difficult.
At present, many teams that have received the news are studying how to conquer this mountain. This uphill section will be the place to increase the distance, with a total distance of 128 kilometers. This uphill section is stuck at the 100th kilometer, which is when everyone has little energy left. "
"Looks like I'll have to place my bets later. There's no news about Inazuma's contestant yet. That young man from the demon tribe is also a very capable contestant."
"Speaking of which, recently a lot of lamp posts have been erected in the old and new city areas of Liyue Harbor. It feels so luxurious."
“That’s true. I also noticed that those lamp posts have been there for a long time, but there has been no movement.
There was news earlier that Xuanyuan Trading Company was laying some black wires, and no one knew what they were used for. Looking at the notice from the General Affairs Department, the total cost was close to 100 billion Mora. "
"It doesn't matter how much it costs. We can earn it back directly by holding this competition. The cycling race two years ago benefited countless businesses. A scholar from Xumi estimated that the tax revenue of Liyue during that period was close to 5 billion Mora."
"5 billion Mora? Wouldn't that be enough to build another 500-kilometer train line?"
"It's more than just that. This is about using large-scale events to boost the economy of Liyue. The bike race will attract people from all over the world. When people come to Liyue, they have to spend money, right?
This will lead to a sharp increase in Liyue's demand for daily necessities and services, and the scale of consumption will expand rapidly, which will promote employment in Liyue.
Moreover, the arrival of a large number of domestic and foreign tourists is more conducive to the development of tourism. In addition, the current transportation in Liyue is very convenient, and all kinds of scenic projects are charged.
At the same time, the huge business opportunities created by the cycling race will attract many investors to seek cooperation opportunities and form a huge investment market. In addition, the specialty products we display will have more negotiation opportunities. These projects are increasing Liyue’s fiscal revenue. It is conceivable that the significance of Liyue hosting this event is great.”
"This time, the notice was sent out almost a month in advance. I guess they want more people to participate, right?"
"What good things did Master Xuan prepare?"
“Although I don’t know what kind of surprises there will be, I’m looking forward to it.”
"Me too."
......
Early May.
In the factory area of Xuanyuan Trading Company in Mingyun Town, there is a 3-kilometer-long circular cement road that covers various common road conditions. Three silver-white cars are being tested.
After 10 laps, two silver-white cars stopped in front of Lin Zixuan, one in the shape of an off-road vehicle and the other in the shape of an ordinary sedan.
Most of the interior of the vehicle is made of high-quality wood and leather, but the control panel is unfortunately in a simple style, with many spaces reserved for installing instruments.
