Annan gave the address of "Salvatore's Secret Shop" to the players, largely to take care of this big fool.
Even though Senior Valtore is watching, at least he won't be too stupid...
In essence, their relationship is like that of a college boys' dormitory - they can be said to be each other's father and son.
They were all worried about the big fool (in their own opinion) across from him, trying to find a way to feed him something to avoid accidentally feeding him to death.
Not long after Annan returned to the cold winter, when Dmitri was done with the stickiness... he sent his eldest brother out without mercy, and asked him to use the "Salvatore Piece Gem Detector" to go out to search for minerals.
If that gemstone vein can be found, the economic situation in the Principality of Winter will be greatly alleviated.
Although we need to pay attention to infrastructure.
But the winter side is divided into areas one by one by the small boundaries of the city. It can be said that it is difficult to build roads.
If a group of people are recruited to start building roads, the situation may be as follows:
Ah, okay, we will start building the road today.
After practicing for less than half a month, I reached the end of the small barrier.
What to do?
It's better to stop first.
After waiting for the last few years, ten years, or decades, after the winter has passed, let my son continue to repair...
...otherwise what else can we do.
After all, it is impossible for workers without protection to work in a snowstorm where even their field of vision is limited.
That's not a question of human rights, it's a question of whether you can come back alive after leaving the small barrier...
Only werewolves with rough skin and thick flesh and thick fur for warmth can survive in that environment. With the clothing technology of this era, clothing that can allow people to work in a snowstorm without hypothermia simply does not exist.
Even extraordinary people might freeze to death in that kind of environment.
At this point, Annan feels that the players' comments are very accurate - they call the Great Barrier of Winter "the underlying logic at the level of the immune system."
What should we do in the face of the cursed gray fog eroding from outside?
——How about rolling up the extremely cold, never-ending blizzard, and blowing away the condensed gray fog. After all, this gray fog is not an illusion, something that cannot be hindered, but a material curse, which is roughly equivalent to
Due to a special kind of haze that cannot be filtered.
It hangs in the air, can be blown away by the wind, or can be blocked by walls. It will not even enter below the sea surface.
Under the sweep of the blizzard, these fogs will be dissolved, frozen, and then thrown away.
The gray fog outside really makes it impossible to get in, but the people inside are freezing to death, and even frozen creatures will turn into frost beasts, wandering like ghosts in the snowfield.
It's probably like "one of you and I will die today".
Because of this, it is basically impossible for the investment from Huiyao IV to be used for road construction.
But if the gemstone veins are real, then Maria can definitely set up a small barrier there.
The so-called small winter barrier is essentially a permanent constant temperature barrier.
It is not difficult to arrange a constant temperature barrier. Even Salvatore installed a constant temperature barrier in the basement of the Frozen Water Port. Even in Noah's capital, there are special constant temperature barriers used to cultivate greenhouse crops for the royal family.
agricultural sector.
The constant temperature barrier with winter characteristics only needs to be added with a shell on the outside to ensure that the generated temperature does not escape.
It's not difficult in principle. Just arrange a semi-automatic device called a "large barrier generator".
But it's just like the constant temperature barrier Salvatore installed in the basement.
If you want to flood the entire city with temperature, then it will be very hot around the center of the constant temperature barrier. And a lot of energy will be wasted.
In order to prevent this situation, the ceremony needs to be complicated.
Let the temperature be evenly distributed throughout the city.
The solution on Earth is heating pipes.
In the dead of winter, the Tower of Storms has constructed a complex constant temperature system.
Annan calls it a "cloud thermostatic system."
One is because it is really in the clouds - the one used to calculate and maintain this constant temperature barrier is the Storm Tower floating in the sky.
Another reason is because different cities have to "download" the ceremony directly from the cloud.
Just organize a few wizards, install a hollow metal tower that is only fifteen meters high like a broadcast tower, and arrange a "large barrier generator" inside.
Then use this iron tower to link its ritual system to the Storm Tower. Then you can use the Storm Tower to provide nearly sustainable energy for constant-temperature rituals throughout the city.
The Storm Tower hanging upside down in the center of the large barrier will map the constant temperature spell to the outer shell of the "barrier", and a super large constant temperature barrier will be arranged on the shell to ensure that every corner of the city feels the same
The temperatures are about the same - and all energy is naturally provided by the Storm Tower, the "strongest wind generator".
In other words, even if a spy comes to steal the master, he will never be able to learn this magical, central air-conditioning-level city heating.
The constant temperature barrier is not inside the city at all, but outside.
Therefore, in every city, there is no ritual tower that can support such complex rituals.
As long as each city continues to provide simple magical materials as fuel for the "large barrier generator", it can maintain this "constant temperature barrier" that would otherwise consume very high energy.
In order to save the energy of the Storm Tower, it is naturally impossible to spread this kind of barrier throughout the entire winter. Although the Storm Tower has a lot of energy, it is not infinite after all... and it also needs to reserve part of it to contain various natural disasters.
What can be protected are various residential areas.
But if the existence of that gemstone vein is really confirmed, it doesn't mean that a "new city" cannot be built directly.
Just build it directly around the mineral vein and insert a new barrier. Building a city from scratch can consume a lot of labor and create a lot of jobs. After that, the continuous production of gems can allow the winter to have new specialties.
In this world, 90% of gems are produced on Diamond Island.
But it's just an island. How many gems can it produce?
This thing won't be worthless just because there are too many - it will definitely depreciate, but it is useful after all. Because many rituals require the use of natural gems that have been cultivated in the earth's veins for a long time.
Dmitry did not keep Annan waiting long.
Not long after the holy day of May, Annan watched the live broadcast of Kafni's enthronement ceremony remotely with the eyes of players.
Not even a week had passed before Dmitri came back after a long journey and brought good news.
——Gem veins are real.
Moreover, it is a large and rich crystal pegmatite deposit, and the quality is quite good! The reserves detected so far alone are enough to be mined for at least 150 years - its reserves are even greater than the gem reserves of the Diamond Island.
!
Sandstone, which is a by-product, is also a high-quality stone and has considerable uses. Whether it is exported or used in winter infrastructure, it is completely acceptable.
It can even be used to build cities in situ.
Annan could even imagine that if the news was announced now, winter might even usher in a wave of population migration.
In winter, not only is there no population loss, but a large number of winter people return - this will undoubtedly be a miracle!
Annan did not intend to let the Winter family swallow up all the profits.
That's too greedy, and may encounter considerable resistance.
——Annan planned to name it "Sal Mine" to commemorate the magical mirror provided by Salvatore.
