The screen jumps to a land boat road outside White Castle. This is where ground boats transport various materials. White Castle has specially opened up a new road in order to obtain the specific raw materials needed in time.
At this time, a strange-shaped carriage was driving on the boat road.
The horses at the front of the vehicle were replaced by a box-shaped metal device, with a copper horse head on top, a large iron box attached below, and huge iron wheels on both sides of the box.
The iron wheels drove the car body forward on the road, combining speed and stability, quickly leaving the boats on both sides behind.
The man driving the steam carriage was Shang Xun.
Lu Yao opened the backstage encyclopedia.
…
[Fire Steam Carriage]: Shang Xun invented a vehicle based on the improvement of horse carriages and ground boats. It uses a fire steam stove as the power source to drive the wheels to move quickly.

Initially, Shang Xun wanted to make the Earth Boat completely controllable, but the method of replacing the black element with a fire and steam furnace proved to be completely unfeasible.
All the structures and operations of the Dixingzhou are inseparable from the core of the Wu element. The Wuji tribe relies on the Wu element to temporarily integrate with the Dixingzhou, which is something that outsiders cannot do.
Taking out the black element, the ground boat itself is an above-ground boat made of mud and stone.
However, it has become an impossible task to drive such a heavy ship on the ground.
Shang Xun had to adjust his direction.
He aimed at the traditional vehicle of the Yao people, the horse-drawn carriage.
Compared with the boat, the structure of the carriage is more sophisticated and intuitive. Any Yao people can understand that horses pull the carriage forward.
After repeated attempts, Shang Xun decided to use a fire and steam furnace to create a new iron horse. The iron horse would not tire and could keep running as long as the coal and almighty stone in the furnace could still burn and provide power.
He consulted and asked for help from other scholars and craftsmen in White Castle to hammer out the iron horse.
The iron horse does not need a tail or four legs. It only needs a body and wheels on both sides to directly drive the car forward. The driver sitting behind only needs to use the steering rudder to control the direction.
Making a steam carriage is not difficult, the idea is more important, and this is what Shang Xun is good at. The real problem is after getting on the road.
The first is the wheel issue.
The smelting and mining techniques of Uda City are extremely sophisticated, covering almost half of the world, making the amount of usable metals available to the Yao people extremely abundant. Unfortunately, the growth of manufacturing technology is not that fast.
Wooden or copper wheels are not hard enough and are prone to wear and chipping. This can also lead to an unstable center of gravity when the vehicle body is moving forward rapidly.
Furthermore, once the steam stove is ignited, it will continuously emit steam, and the wheels will keep turning, making it difficult to stop.
Shang Xun replaced the copper and wooden wheels with iron wheels, and also used the method of closing the furnace lid and pouring gravel to quickly extinguish the fire.
Then there is the issue of road conditions.
Any road that a horse-drawn carriage can pass can also be traveled by a horse-drawn carriage. However, in heavy rain or on muddy roads, a horse-drawn carriage is more likely to get stuck in the mud or slip and overturn because of its heavy body.
However, in general, steam carriages are more widely used than land boats. As long as you know how to drive steam stoves and horse carriages, you can drive them without any hindrance even outside land boat routes.
Shang Xun drove a steam carriage and took a boat to the Eastern Continent, driving all the way into the Rose Garden of the Valley of the Gods.
He fulfilled his promise and drove back.
Hongye was extremely happy. She sat on the steam carriage and looked around, with curiosity written all over her face.
"You are so awesome, you built a car so quickly."
Shang Xun controlled the rudder: "I was lucky. I happened to see White Castle working on the [Brass Furnace Dragon]. I went over and got the reward so I could complete it."
Hongye asked curiously: "I heard Lord Pinkman say that the Brass Furnace Dragon is the most incredible invention of the Yao people so far. What does it look like?"
"Like a squashed dragon."
"ah?"
"That's it. Although the appearance is not very good, the Brass Furnace Dragon is indeed an imitation dragon."
Shang Xun said: "It can cast spells directly. As long as you stand in the casting position and pass through the brass keel, you can trigger spells in dragon language. When I saw it on the spot, it was still very shocking."
"We did an experiment where we used a brass furnace dragon to cast the highest-level [Endurance Curse] on a pony. It ran continuously in the White Castle for a whole day and was so excited that we had to knock it unconscious in the end. Get rid of it, otherwise it will have to run away and damage its body."
"You guys are amazing!"
"The most powerful ones are Lord Philus, the prophets and the craftsmen, but I didn't help much."
"Nonsense, I've heard what Lord Pinkman said. Lord Ferrers thinks very highly of you, saying that you have solved the most important problem in White Castle... They all say that you are a genius!"
"I'm not a genius, I just relied on luck to get it right."
"you are too humble!"
"I'm not being modest. I'm serious. I'm just from a poor family and have done a lot of work since I was a child to have enough food, so my mind is complicated and I often think wildly."
"If anything, I have to thank Lord Yao. Without the blessing of the gods, I would have died on the streets when I was a child. My father had just died at that time, and life was indeed quite difficult."
"It's not easy for you. I will take good care of you in the future!"
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, no matter how red leaves look, Shang Xun will be satisfied, and his head will turn red.
Under the witness of Pinkman, Shang Xun and Hongye officially married in the rose garden, which was also the first union between a rose messenger and a human in the Yao tribe.
The only sad person is the little fish man.
Yugu finally came back from a break and saw the couple driving and holding a rose wedding. He had to cry and bless in the car the whole time... and then he applied for a long vacation.
Pinkman again agreed.
…
The birth of the steam carriage had a greater direct impact on the world than the brass furnace dragon.
For most people, things in the supernatural realm such as magic are still too far away. What they can see is still the most common basic necessities of life. Being able to have a better life in these aspects is the most important thing.
Shang Xun invented the fire-steam carriage and readily announced all the structure and technology in White Castle.
For him, what is important is to let the steam carriage run and feel the feeling of flying. The salary of a lifelong scholar is already quite good, and there will also be subsidies from White Castle in the future.
This invention was the first to be bought by Yancheng at a high price. The merchants were extremely sensitive to the market and new products, and gathered craftsmen as quickly as possible to create the first batch of steam-fired carriages.
Just as the merchants had judged, the appearance of the steam carriage on the road aroused great repercussions and crazy pursuit.
Wealthy groups took the lead in purchasing steam and horse-drawn carriages one by one.
From now on, they no longer have to wait for a local boat trip. They can drive directly to wherever they need to go. It is faster and easier than a local boat trip. The most important thing is that they can enjoy the same driving pleasure as the people in Wuji.
The steam carriage has been transformed into two models, one is a private carriage, and the other is a large vehicle used to transport goods. A truck compartment can be added to the back to transport more goods faster. Both models have their own uses.
, quickly became a trading vehicle for merchants.
Several other cities finally realized it and gradually introduced steam carriages.
But step by step, no matter whether Yaocheng has the most complete technical reserves or Sanillo, which is low-key but wealthy, the steam carriages they manufacture are always more expensive than Yancheng, causing Yancheng to control most of the market for steam carriages in disguise.
Businessmen may not be good at inventing and creating, but they are professional at controlling costs and reducing expenses.
Outside Yancheng, steam carriages with iron horse heads came and went. The land boats in the land boat routes were gradually eliminated, and they returned to the underground and Wuda City.
Lu Yao had some feelings.
The Wuji tribe's exclusive abilities are full of potential, but their development capabilities are not very good. So far, they have not been able to further expand and develop the Wu element into new areas.
This is probably due to the conservative ethnic characteristics of the Uji people in a solid state.
Fortunately, they have the Almighty Stone, and if you have money, you can buy finished products, which can be regarded as stimulating consumption.
Lu Yao stood up and twisted his waist.
Twisting and twisting, the game interface displays.
【Dark devil discovered in Uluru.】
[The Yao tribe’s underground exploration capabilities have been slightly improved.]
Lu Yao immediately looked through the background.
…

Lu Yao read it several times.
Judging from the description, Black Devil is somewhat similar to oil.
