When the magic transport airship flew to the center of the "pillar of heaven" in the fierce cold wind, Malfoy roared:
"recover the helium in the air bag!"
"Yes
"Buzzing" vibration, immediately rang up.
As an engineering dog, Renault always pays attention to the details of technology. He turns to Malfoy and asks:
"the air bag is filled with hot helium. When they are recycled, are they cooled? Otherwise, the high temperature will bring extra pressure to the air tank.... "
"Yes, Lord!"
Malfoy quickly replied:
"we have integrated a set of small heat recovery devices in the gas tank. The heat of helium will be converted into" thermal magic energy ", which is sent to the" energy center "of the airship through the magic silver wire. It can not only heat the pod, but also drive the jet engine."
"In a word, we have achieved the ultimate in the use of energy!"
"Well done!"
Renault nodded slightly in praise.
"Lord, it''s your great idea to use the" energy center "method to centrally manage the energy of the whole system This not only improves the efficiency of energy utilization, but also greatly simplifies the system structure We are just standing on the shoulders of giants... "
Malfoy flattered.
Renault waved his hand to stop this guy from flattering and said:
"whether to recover the heat from a certain system depends on the actual situation I think you should know that it''s not without cost to convert heat into heat magic energy through the [heat magic conversion] Rune group. It needs to consume a certain amount of magic energy. "
"If the magic energy consumed in the recovery process is greater than the thermal magic energy obtained, it is not worth the loss Therefore, detailed calculation must be done in design... "
Malfoy nodded again and again:
"Lord, you are absolutely right!"
Just as they were talking, the bottom of the slowly descending transport airship came into contact with the fog everywhere, and then the hull was swallowed a little bit, and finally completely submerged in the fog.
To be honest, it''s a terrible experience to move in such a dense fog.
Because the water vapor is still around, the glass of the pod is immediately wetted, and the vision becomes more and more blurred. It makes people feel as if they are walking through the abyss. It seems that there are countless monsters lurking in the distance.
Adanis also became a little restless.
As a wild animal, it is more dependent on instinct, and it hates the feeling that everything is out of control.
Fortunately, the "pillar of heaven" is bright enough. Even through the thick fog, you can see the "lightsabers" stabbing at the sky. They are like lighthouses in the harbor, giving people some sustenance.
Until a few exclamations came out of the magic communicator:
"Hey, I see the winner of life My God, this is a big guy... "
"I bet it''s two times bigger than the Navy''s steel warship..."
"I can''t believe that such a big guy can fly. Has he been used the legendary magic by the Lord?"
This is the voice of the people stationed on "hell island".
About 100 meters from the ground, the people finally saw the light again.
Looking down through the misty magic gold glass, there are lots of magic stone lamps everywhere on the ground. From around the "pillar of heaven", they continue to the distance until they disappear in the fog.
At a glance, it looks like a brilliant "river of lights".
This time, it''s the turn of the magicians to sigh.
"My God, how many magic stone lamps did these guys on hell Island light?"
"I never thought that once the number of magic stone lamps increased, they would be so beautiful..."
"Anyway, the energy of the gate of hell doesn''t need money. It''s inexhaustible. Of course, you can order as much as you can..."
"It''s true that this ghost place is shrouded in fog all the year round, and I can''t see any sunshine. If it were me, I would make the surroundings brighter, so as not to be dragged away by the monsters in the fog one day..."
When the airship''s height dropped to 20 meters, Malfoy roared again:
"drop anchor!"
"Yes
Two heavy anchors, dragging long chains, fell from the head and tail of the pod and hit the ground heavily.
"Bang! Bang
More than ten seconds later, the 200 meter long giant weighing more than 100 tons finally landed.
"Boom!"
With an extremely dull loud noise, the ground within tens of meters suddenly vibrated strongly.
The landing was successful!
……
15 minutes later, Renault saw the "gate of hell" again.
This huge fire cave is still spewing huge flame snakes. The flames are nearly 100 meters high and shine brightly within a few kilometers.The difference is that this time, more than 1000 meters away from the fire cave, a large-scale magic smelting furnace was erected.
As early as three years ago, when Renault first heard the news of "hell gate", he planned to use this "unlimited energy" to refine ore, and now this desire has finally become a reality.
"Lord, I must say that this big fire breathing hole is indeed a huge treasure..."
Lindhelm, the person in charge of hell island base, who was just shouting "throw subordinates into hell gate", pointed to the "hell gate" in the distance and said excitedly:
"this smelting method is too efficient, and it also saves manpower You don''t need to add fuel from time to time, you just need to put the mined copper ore into the smelting furnace... "
"We put two Rune square plates engraved with the [thermal magic conversion] Rune group in the gate of hell. They convert the heat of the flame into thermal magic energy, and then continuously transport it to the smelting furnace through the Magic Silver Wire..."
"According to our statistics, we can smelt more than 500 tons of" pure copper "per hour at full capacity, and the maximum output will reach more than 10000 tons if we start 20 hours a day."
One side of Malfoy and others, can not help but issued a few exclamations.
10000 tons per day!
3.6 million tons a year!
In the alien world, this is absolutely a terrible data. If
goes out, it will be enough to scare off any woodlouse and chin.
But listening to Renoir, it didn''t move him at all.
After all, he comes from a big country in a different time and space. If any mineral resources are not in the unit of "100 million tons", he would be embarrassed to say so
Lindhelm smacked his lips again and said with regret:
"unfortunately, this is just the most ideal data Most of the time, the mining and transportation of copper can''t keep up with the smelting speed Under normal circumstances, only less than 1500 tons of copper ingots can be produced every day, less than 16% of the maximum capacity... "
"Oh, I think it''s too wasteful..."
Renault nodded as if nothing, turned his head and looked at the large smelting furnace nearly 20 meters high.
A conveyor belt driven by a magic machine transports copper ore to the feeding port of the smelting furnace, falls into the furnace with extremely high temperature, and is decomposed into various elements by the rune group.
The waste gas is discharged from the exhaust pipe connected to the top, and the "copper ingot" with bright surface falls out from the bottom of the smelting furnace, and is transported to a metal box by another conveyor belt, and "bang" falls into the box.
When the copper ingots in the box are full, a magic forklift comes quickly, forks up the metal box easily and transports it to the warehouse area where the copper ingots are stacked.
"What about magic silver?"
Renault asked suddenly.
He said "Magic Silver" refers to the Magic Silver associated with the copper ore found in the misty sea.
This magic metal is much more valuable than copper.
It is also the main purpose of Renault''s order to build this smelter in "hell island".
"Lord, the rune group in the smelting furnace first heats the" copper "to boiling state, and then sends the" copper vapor "into the cooling chamber. First, it cools into molten liquid, and then through the built-in mold cavity, it is cast into copper ingot."
Lindhelm explained it in detail.
"Magic silver is different, because its melting point is very high, more than 10000 degrees, it will not be melted The "magic silver particles" contained in the ore will fall at the bottom and be sent to another smaller smelting room for further smelting into "standard magic silver ingots."
As he spoke, he guided Renault to the other end of the furnace.
"You see, this smaller outlet is where the magic silver ingot comes out..."
Before he finished, a silver ingot suddenly slipped from the discharge port.
"Bang!"
The ingot hit the partition and made a loud noise.
"Lord, you see, a new piece of magic silver ingot has been smelted!"
Lindhelm exclaimed in surprise. She bent down to hold the silver ingot with a trace of afterglow and respectfully handed it to the Lord.
At this moment, he wanted to kiss the magic silver ingot from his heart.
As soon as the Lord asked about the magic silver ingot, it came out. It''s a shame.
However, the price of magic silver is too expensive, as high as more than 20 jinnalkg, almost equal to his annual salary.
The weight of this standard magic silver ingot is 50 kg, and the market price is more than 1000 jinnals, which he can''t afford at all.
Renault took the magic silver ingot, looked it over and over, and said with satisfaction:
"not bad!"
After a pause, he asked another question of concern:
"how much magic silver can this smelting furnace extract every day?"
Lindhelm thought about it and reported a series of data:
"an average of 6 standard magic silver ingots per day According to our calculation, each ton of copper ore contains 68 grams of Magic Silver... "Renordon was even more satisfied.
"Good! This figure is higher than originally expected! "
He looked around and fixed his eyes on an open space several hundred meters away.
I saw countless copper ingots stacked on the open space, they were stacked together, forming a 100 meter long metal wall.
Lindhelm keenly noticed Renault''s sight, and immediately said:
"this is all the copper ingots smelted by" hell island "for more than a month Up to now, the total weight of copper ingots accumulated here has exceeded 40000 tons Because the transportation capacity is extremely limited, it can only transport Magic Silver and the mined "fire element stone", so the copper ingots can only be put here for the time being
As a matter of fact, it was here that the "action of lifting upanise sea monsters" that surprised the Secretary General at the beginning.
Because the silver goose transport plane could not take off and land in the fog, and the territory was in urgent need of Magic Silver and fire element stone, the air force had no choice but to come up with this method, that is, first send a group of airborne soldiers to drag the materials out of the fog, and then send them to the transport plane.
However, this method can only be used to transport materials in short supply. For tens of thousands of tons of copper ingots, the military said it could not help, otherwise it would be exhausted and all the airborne soldiers would not be able to transport them.
Renault smiles and points to the direction of the airship:
"the reason why we make airships is to transport copper ingots In addition, if you transport Magic Silver and fire stone in the future, you don''t need to send airborne soldiers and transport planes any more... "
