Just by hearing about this invention, he could directly conclude that there was something wrong with this person.
Even if he directly tinkered with an electric power system or even built a high-voltage power transmission line in one step in this era before the internal combustion engine became popular, Annan could even be considered a genius.
After all, producing electricity in this world does not even require magnetic electricity generation technology. As long as you use the appropriate rituals, you can directly obtain a large amount of electricity cheaply. One of the biggest advantages of electricity is that it can be transported over long distances at low cost.
...But if you directly transport heat energy over long distances, isn't this technology a bit too much?
Even if the "Denisoah" here specifically refers to the island itself, it does not count the entire United Kingdom. Its area is only about one-sixth the size of Noah's land.
But this is almost equivalent to the area of the entire territory of Austria, and is probably slightly smaller than a province of China.
...but this entire line from west to east only loses 12%?
This is still a level where the technology has just been developed and has not yet been optimized.
Good guy, this is really a good guy.
Even the loss of transmitting electric energy is not so low?
Annan himself was a great ritual master. Although he had lost a lot of mystical knowledge accumulated during the Black Annan period, his intuition also told him that this was almost impossible.
If this was an invention that could be accomplished using only "rituals", then Black Annan would have been invented a few years ago. There is no need to start tinkering with an internal combustion engine from scratch.
And if this can be done, why must heat energy be transmitted?
What is he trying to do?
Isaac, standing behind Annan, also realized the problem: "It's impossible. Thermal energy is not suitable for low-cost long-distance transportation. Not only is it impossible, but it doesn't make sense."
At least in this era, due to the existence of green fire and black fire, heat energy is not particularly scarce.
Due to the limitations of the vision of the times... Isaac currently does not realize what this means.
In the beginning, electric energy could only be used as industrial energy in a small range. More than a hundred years later, with the introduction of many consumer appliances on the application side, the electrical age truly arrived.
In this era, the internal combustion engine has not yet entered its application period.
And Isaac is an "old antique" who lived more than a hundred years ago.
He couldn't understand the value brought by energy transmission technology at the first time... But Annan was different.
However, Annan has not yet explained this.
"The significance is definitely there. As long as energy is involved, technology that can safely transport energy at low cost is meaningful no matter what."
Annan shook his head and brought the topic to a more critical point: "Even if it doesn't make sense now, it will make sense later... The question now is, how was this developed?"
"We don't know either..."
Blackbird spread his hands and looked helpless: "But it exists.
"On our side, there were many people who didn't believe him at first. So Count Flamel conducted many experiments in front of everyone, and every time they went very smoothly.
"So I have to believe it. With this thing, even the Field Islands will no longer have to worry about energy."
When he heard this, Isaac's first reaction was:
Aren’t the Field Islands already lacking in energy?
Now is not the past.
In previous eras, the main sources of folk energy came from coal mines and whales. The former was mainly used to supply steam engines, while kerosene and whale oil could be used for lighting.
Denisoa's overall coal resources are quite scarce, and they must be given priority to the native Denisoa. In the surrounding Field Islands, generally only freshly chopped firewood can be used for heating in winter.
As for whaling, you don't necessarily have to be a Denisawian to do it.
The Field Islands are like broken islands floating sporadically on the west side of Denisoa. The direction of the ocean current in this part is from west to east, so the whaling tradition of the Field Islands is not inferior to that of Denisoa.
Since the civil use of black fire and green fire was launched, the Field Islands no longer have to worry about energy shortage.
The technology from the Black Tower of the Swamp can refine substances similar to natural gas and oil into black fire. If it is diluted and inert, it can further create green fire.
The biggest advantage of these two energy sources is that they can store more energy in the same volume.
Black fire can ignite a flame that is hotter, burns longer, and is less likely to go out. In certain furnaces, black fire can even be used to make steel.
Of the two energy sources, black fire has a slightly unpleasant smell, while green fire, which has a lower temperature, has no smoke at all.
Green fire can convert energy into light as much as possible... Only a small piece of green fire is needed to burn for a long time, and it is also windproof and shake-proof. So it is used as a raw material for urban street lights... This is certainly not because local managers pay attention to it.
For municipal engineering, its premise must be that green fire is cheap and durable enough.
And in the United Kingdom.
In other words, in the Field Islands... the situation is slightly different.
Because of the existence of pirates, energy transportation may not be stable.
Because of this, black fire and green fire, which are very cheap in other countries and even in Denisoa itself, can fetch very high prices in the Field Islands.
And the bulk of this money was not earned by Zedi Heita as the exporter or Denis Sawyer as the importer.
It's the pirate gangs who cut off the goods and sell them themselves.
Because black fire and green fire have a longer shelf life, it is entirely possible to hoard black fire and sell it.
They will deliberately control the sales of black fire and green fire in the area under their control, slowly release a batch of goods on the grounds that "things are rare and valuable", and raise the price three to four times.
This is also one of the main sources of income for pirates.
"Wait, let's just say..."
Isaac's pupils shrank.
He suddenly reacted.
He immediately realized why Blackbird had just said that it was "a cross-era invention for the United Kingdom."
Its real significance is not the various emerging civilian technologies that may be born based on this invention itself.
Instead, the black fire is directly stuck in Denisoa and no longer flows to the Field Islands. The "heat cable" is directly used to provide limited energy.
With this method, you can directly strangle the throats of those pirates!
this means……
King Denisoya is going to pacify the pirates?!
And Count Flamel is just a target launched to attract the hatred of pirates...
Isaac suddenly realized something and raised his head to look at Annan.
They realize from the look in each other's eyes that this person has noticed this too!
If nothing else happens, Denisoya will soon be in civil strife.
