Chapter 549 Mechanical Revolution, Technology Enough to Promote the Development of Civilization
!
The warm sunshine in winter mornings cannot 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 there was still a familiar smell inside.
But the slight difference is that the cutworm, king kong, and two rotary cultivators parked in the garage have disappeared.
Instead, there 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 utensils 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?"
Once inside the house, jump off Soma'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 flicker with a warm yellow light, and the small wall lamps around the walls also lit up with complementary colors, completely lighting up all corners.
The temperature outside is obviously still freezing.
But as this light shines in people's hearts, they feel an extremely comfortable and warm feeling!
"Tsk tsk, your design is much better than mine."
"The 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, Soma looked here and there, his curiosity palpable.
Approaching 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 being in another world after looking at it for a while.
"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, screen, computer, and other small and large bits and pieces, they are all made from inside!"
Pointing to the things on the ground, Su Chan felt like she was counting all her treasures.
"Replaced?"
"Of course. Now that we have implemented private property, we must exchange it with them."
Nowadays, when the property is completely separated.
The materials in the shelter and the materials in the village have also been completely divided.
Returning to 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 of this?"
"Not bad, let me take a closer look at the market conditions in our lowland!"
I have seen the complicated goods ledger in Liberty City, and the economy has just recovered, creating a depression for bartering.
Sumo immediately became interested, 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 villagers who are still living in collective accommodation, the most valuable and most popular food resources are still food resources.
It ranges from ordinary unprocessed foods, such as flour, rice, and whole grains, to more advanced biscuits, cans, bread, and instant noodles.
As long as it's something edible, you basically don't have to worry about how to trade it. You can easily sell it and get what you want.
Moving on, 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 pelt.
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 content with their current lives.
When washing, they need comfortable towels, sturdy washbasins, and suitable cleaning supplies.
When sleeping, they miss a comfortable mattress, 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 a lot of things behind the paper records.
And these points are exactly the results 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 not being able to revitalize the economy!"
The blood supply of the lucky bag just meets the dilemma of no external economic stimulation in the early stage.
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”!
By then, not to mention far distances, as long as the trade routes within Liberty City can be opened.
Let these demon souls take the goods in the depression to other places in the new continent, and then what is waiting for the depression will definitely be an unstoppable take-off!
When he thought of this, Sumo 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 been struggling in the apocalypse give up their vigilance.
The third major category of transactions also happens to be weapons, armor, and some survival supplies.
Of course, the majority of these items are currently recycled by the main body of the village.
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, what about the rest?"
"What's left? Everything left is just debris and not worth anything!"
Instructing Su Mo to turn to the page where the payment was recorded, Su Chan revealed a snicker.
"Let me see"
When I heard that the imported products that were easily 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, I purchased two ceiling jack-o-lanterns and four wall-mounted warm light lamps, and paid a total of three pieces of soap and one piece of toothpaste?"
"In the second round, we purchased two LCD screens and a small cutting and polishing machine (expenses paid by Lu Kuan). A total of five towels and three toothbrushes were paid?"
"In the third round, we purchased a computer host, an LCD screen, and a micro centrifuge (Ouyang Guo paid). A total of two razors, a brand new bed sheet, three pairs of warm socks, and five towels were paid!"
"."
Each record and the items in front of it are often worth a lot of money. If placed in Liberty City, it would cost at least 18,000 yuan.
But when I looked at it later, I saw that it only required some ordinary daily necessities that could not be replaced by ordinary daily necessities.
Even though Sumo was mentally prepared for this sense of violation, he 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 console are even more useless. Their value is basically the same as ordinary iron blocks."
"As for these instruments, when they got them, they planned to give them to us for free for research, but I insisted on giving them, so they had no choice but to accept them!"
"We still have plenty of inventory!"
With her hands on her hips, Su Chan looked like a housekeeper, her face full of pride.
Just like what she said.
When selling seeds in the trading market before, Sumo had exchanged a large number of items for 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 are now so popular after the establishment of an economic system!
So much so that you can exchange for so many high-value technological supplies!
"So, all these in our laboratory were recovered?"
Putting down the notebook, Somo stood up and began to examine it with a look of disbelief 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 ability of Lu Kuan and others.
Even if there are only these things, they can be of great effectiveness and directly promote the advancement of the depression technology tree!
"Hey, Lu Kuan and the others, why didn't they see anyone?"
Walking to the table where he had been working, Somo 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? The two of them set off to the hot stone mine. Oh, by the way, we have established a mining base there now."
"If there are no accidents, 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's eyes narrowed and he looked over.
The fact that hot stone mines are not as simple as they appear 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 refuge 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 shows that the value of this thing is definitely not low!
It was easy for Somo to find the information he wanted from among the dozens of pieces of paper hanging in front of the wall.
Looking from top to bottom, there are three pieces of paper recording hot stone mine information.
The first one was full of paintings with various graphics. Upon closer inspection, 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, 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 it reaches 100%, the colloid outside the black ball will gradually undergo a wonderful change, completely wrapping the black ball inside.
At this time, the previously dark 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."
Each of the familiar terms represents the speculations made by Lu Kuan and others about the uses of hot stone mines.
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 sound. After seeing clearly the appearance of the two figures who walked through the door, Sumo was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"What are you doing, staying up late at night and having a snowball fight in the snow?"
In four days, Lu Kuan and Ai Jianfeng have become more and more proficient in controlling their bodies compared to the strangers they were at the beginning.
If you take a closer 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, making them look extremely funny.
"Hey, Sumo, don't tell me. This hot stone mine is really cunning. They are always absorbing heat during the day, and only release heat evenly at night. If you want to find experimental data, you can only
Night to"
"That's not true. Lao Ai and I worked all night in vain last night. We only chased people's butts, but we 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 room-temperature superconductors they mentioned before, but this similarity is not about the principle, but the usage scenarios and usage."
"After our research, during the process of releasing heat and energy, the loss ratio of hot stone 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. You know what this means
What are you wearing!"
He handed the paper over 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 was 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 was because we were unable to make breakthroughs in preservation and transmission."
"Like the batteries you have seen, they do not bind electrical energy inside, but generate electrical energy through chemical energy, such as pumped hydro energy storage, flywheel energy storage, magnetic field energy storage, hydrogen energy storage, etc., which can only
Using electrical energy to do work, converting it into energy such as potential energy, and storing it does not actually 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 without any 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 will be completely restored in the territory, and everyone can enjoy the 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, this is a mechanical revolution!"
