Master of Thermodynamics

After entering the end of the Orioles Moon, only the last tail of the storm season is left. After another week or so, the turbulence in the sea areas will disappear without a trace.

Except for storm seas.

The time when turbulence broke out in this famous and sinister sea area was more than half a month earlier than other sea areas, and the time when the turbulence disappeared was also more than half a month later. It will not be completely calm until the middle and late of the Moon of Zhonghua.

However, regardless of whether turbulence occurs, the tidal zone will not be affected.

During this period of time, due to the greatly reduced storm frequency, the territory's fleet made two round trips between Odin Island and Haixing Island, transporting a large amount of cargo to Haixing Island for storage.

Please note that it is only "storage", not "sale".

Renault is a lord who pays great attention to goodwill. Since the Chamber of Commerce has partners on Haixing Island, he does not intend to sell goods on the island.

On the other hand, in his opinion, the efficiency of offline retail is too low.

In the era without the Internet and online shopping, the coverage area of ​​any store is very limited, and the population in the area is only so large, which determines the upper limit of sales.

What's more, the traffic in the alien world is extremely backward, the coverage of stores is much smaller than that of the earth, and the shipment volume is naturally pitiful.

Therefore, although retail profits are higher, compared with the cost of maintaining a store, the profit margin is actually not as good as wholesale, which is the so-called agent model.

This is the real decisive factor.

The final destination of this batch of commodities stored on Haixing Island will be the southern Xinghai Continent.

In the next few months, Haichao Chamber of Commerce will develop a large number of partners on Xinghai Continent, and these commodities will be directly transported to Xinghai Continent.

Renault stood on the wharf of Odin Island, watching from a distance the two magic crane towers standing in the port slowly rotating, hoisting boxes of heavy cargo onto the decks of Odin and Haichao.

The Magic Crane Tower is the latest large-scale facility added to the port.

In the past few months, the Government Affairs Office found that despite the magic sling, the transport efficiency is still not satisfactory. Often, the loading and unloading of a sailing ship takes at least 2 hours.

Considering that Hai Chao Ling will have more sailing boats in the future, Angela decided to upgrade the port's facilities and build a magic crane with a stronger carrying capacity.

The manufacturing of the crane tower is actually not difficult, and the territory already has relevant technical reserves.

When building a warehouse in the past, this guy Renault had tossed out a hanging tower. He only needed to take the structure and change it, enlarge the size, and strengthen the structure again.

Although there is only one word difference between the magic hanging "cable" and the magic hanging "tower", they are very different.

The former is just a set of detachable magic devices that can only transport 2 boxes of goods at a time, with a total weight of no more than 3 tons, while the latter is a complete behemoth.

The height of the magic pendant tower is close to 30 meters. Thanks to the super-high steel output brought by the magic energy steelmaking method, the main structure of the pendant tower is entirely constructed of steel components.

In order to withstand the storm, nearly 1,000 tons of concrete was deliberately poured at the bottom of the crane tower to prevent the crane tower from being overturned by strong winds.

Its boom is made of star blue iron alloy, which is impossible, because the boom length is more than 30 meters, the strength of ordinary steel is insufficient, and the boom is easy to deform.

Renault also showed his hand when building the magic tower.

With Haichaoling’s current construction technology, it may not be possible to get a boom weighing more than 200 tons to the top of the crane tower in ten and a half months, and the manpower and material resources will be very staggering.

But after the lord went out, he just glanced at it, and the huge boom automatically soared to the top of the 30-meter-high tower, which took...5 seconds!

When this almost miraculous scene appeared, the few turtles who were lucky enough to witness this scene had a strong urge to kneel down for the lord.

This kind of shocking thing naturally spread all over the sea tide islands without any surprises. All the panting turtles in the territory deliberately rushed to the port to pay tribute to the miracle created by the lord.

Buildings with a height of more than 30 meters are not worth mentioning on the earth. Any building with more than 10 floors is 30 meters high. Just find a city and such buildings abound.

But in the alien world, this thing is still very worth seeing, absolutely can be regarded as a "famous" tourist attraction.

Many days after the completion of the two magical crane towers in the port, many civilians can still be seen walking around for a few laps every day, or they are excited or passionately praised.

Compared with the magic sling, the carrying capacity of the magic sling is amazing. It can lift 30 tons of goods at a time, which is 10 times that of the sling!

Although the crane tower is expensive, it all proved to be worthwhile.

Now the time it takes to load the Odin has been drastically shortened from about 150 minutes to 25 minutes, and the efficiency has increased by 6 times, which is a leap forward.

The people who "deeply love" the Magic Crane Tower are not the group of people who eat melons, soil, turtles and turtles on the climax when they see the crane tower, but the bitter sailors on the Odin and Haichao.

The reason is simple. In the era of magic slings, many operations were completely manual.

Take loading as an example. On the side of the wharf, the sailors need to be forced to lift the wooden boxes onto the slings. On the side of the sailboat, the wooden boxes are also manually removed.

The maximum transport volume of the Odin exceeds 300 tons. When converted to wooden boxes, the number is as high as more than 600, and the average weight is close to half a ton.

This also means that every time a cargo is loaded, the hard sailors on the dock have to "lift weights" more than 600 times, and the hard sailors on the ship do the same.

Just ask a hard-working sailor who has participated in "weightlifting" activities, ask him what he thinks, and he will tell you:

It's so sour! !

After lifting the weights, it was not just that he could not feel the problem of his arms, but for the whole three days after that, even his job was extremely unstable, and his claws tremble more than Parkinson's.

If you don’t put your rice bowl on the table when you eat, you can only eat half full.

Why is it half full?

Do you still need to ask about this? Because half of the food in the rice bowl was shaken out!

However, in the era of the magic tower, everything is different.

The magic forklift directly lifts the wooden box and places it on a special large pallet. After a certain weight is accumulated, the magic crane directly hoists the pallet and transports it to the sailboat.

On the deck, there is also a magic forklift that was hoisted over to unload the goods. The forklift forks the wooden boxes straight down, puts them on the transport trolley, and finally pulls it into the warehouse by the trolley.

Using the magic machine throughout the entire process, without having to work hard for the entire process, the sailors said goodbye to Parkinson and removed the prefix of "suffering" for themselves.

Renault once said a word-(Magic) technology changes life.

In a sense, these sailors are the ones who have the deepest understanding of this sentence.

After the loading of the fleet was completed, Renault turned his head to look at the girls next to him. When he was about to say something, the expressionless lady consul suddenly took a step forward, and took the initiative to stretch her hand around Renault's waist and bit his chest. on.

Renault screamed out of pain, but instead of pushing her away, he gently hugged the girl and kissed her in the ear.

The girl's fair and pretty face turned into red cloth in an instant, matched with her extremely exquisite features, it looked bright and unusual, she snorted, clenched her fist and hammered Renault's chest before moving away.

Then Vivian stepped forward, hugged Renault tightly, pressed his forehead against his chest, and when it was Sister Aisha's turn, the two of them were already tearful.

They all know that Renault's upcoming journey is another extremely long voyage. When he returns to the Port of Odin again, it will be at least half a month later.

Because this voyage is as high as 1,700 nautical miles, which is farther than the first voyage to the Glow Continent.

Renault's goal this time is the Kingdom of Thousand Lakes in the south of the mainland.
