Starting from Zero

I concluded: "Sumi’s opinion is very reasonable. These scattered players are indeed a powerful force. Attack our war chariot."

Bailing said with a smile: "It is best to tie them to our war chariot."

Rosé said: "To be honest, these are scattered The players are a variable, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for us to leave them out of the camp."

"Why?" Eagle curiously asked.

"The gun hits the head." Hong Yue said casually: "Americans act as world police everywhere, but they are the ones who get hit the most. And the situation in our country is a bit special. It's not a trivial matter."

"Then ignore these people." Ying nodded and said: "What should those NPC forces do?"

I thought about it and said:" Rose hopes to take this opportunity to rectify the power structure of China's internal guilds in advance. It is troublesome for these NPC forces to be involved in the middle, but we are not empty-handed. Although the process is very hard, it is good to be happy that my initial plan has been completed. Now, we are currently the middleman of Four Great Influences, China’s most important Four Great Influences. Although this identity restricts our behavior, we can’t be too much, but compared to this shortcoming, the benefits we get are even greater."

Awei suddenly asked: "If you don't tell me, I don’t even remember it. When it comes to benefits, I don’t quite understand. Where does this benefit appear?" I threw the grand competition money into it, and even took the city ruins with it, but what are the benefits?"

The rose immediately replaced me and replied: "The benefits must not be actual things, and the benefits of the middleman status are shown. It’s a kind of relationship and a kind of power. Although we pay people and money, have you considered? If other guilds ask the temple or the Celestial Court to help us deal with us, what treatment will they get?"

Hong Yue said: "We will be rejected directly, and we will also be notified of the alarm. Even if we don’t know who is going to disadvantage us, we will at least give some hints, and even organizations like Celestial Court or Dark God Palace will do For special reasons, we can directly fight against this guild."

Rose then asked: "If there is a war between the Four Great Influences, we symbolically help the weaker side maintain the balance of the battlefield against the powerhouse, you What do you think we will get?"

Hong Yue then replied: "In the war, we will definitely get some benefits, and the one who gets help will also give us some benefits. The one who is beaten sees our identity as a balance. The intermediary of the situation will not care about anything with us afterwards, and will be 100% stable without losing money."

Rose asked again: "If we engage in large-scale operations and conflict with the interests of Four Great Influences, How do you think they will react?"

Or Hong Yue replied: "Only If it were not for the friction between the muscles and bones, the other party would at most symbolically protest or make compensation in a formal way, and would not really do it with us. "

Rose stretched out a finger and asked: "The last question. What kind of response will we get if we ask for the help of Quartet? "

Hong Yue said: "It is estimated that we will not care about small things, such as borrowing their city as a teleportation point or temporarily seconding some strategic materials such as war horses. It won't be a big problem. It may be difficult to get the opponent to directly participate in the battle, but behaviors such as hindering the opponent's march and giving a little disturbance should help. "

Rose looked towards Awei: "Do you understand the benefits of our identity now?" "After seeing Awei's expression, Rose said to Hong Yue: "What if the situation just now happened to another guild?" "

Hong Yue said: "If someone asks for help with this guild, the Four Great Influences will participate as long as they get enough benefits. If Four Great Influences breaks out in a war and an unrelated guild enters the war, the party being helped will give at most a few promises in the form of a blank check, and the other side will find an excuse to erase the guild completely after the war, or at least. Give a heavy blow. If other guilds engage in large-scale operations and conflict with Four Great Influences, they will definitely be compared. If they are not given, the martial power will be solved. The player organization must not be able to defeat the four major NPC forces. The result is obvious. As for other guilds asking the Quartet forces to help this kind of thing! I don’t know if I can see it first. Even if I saw it and prompted a request, it is estimated that lion's big mouth will be asking for a wild price. If you give it, you will help. "

"Now you know what differentiated treatment is? "

"putting it that way, we are indeed treated much better than ordinary guilds!" "A Wei said excitedly: "So is it going to continue to provide free medicines to the NPC forces this time to achieve the purpose of gaining trust?" "

Rose shook her head and said: "Purple Moon has done enough things before, and now we don't need to provide it for free, but we need to look at it separately. You can tell Purple Moon for details. "

I nodded and said: "The four NPC forces have finally been brought to the right position by me recently, but this matter still needs further efforts. The members of Monster Realm have just left the bottle gourd that sealed them. They are currently in the position of the weak, and they are now very concerned about the kindness that I rescued them. Basically, both of us are now in the political honeymoon period. Therefore, Monster Realm's medicines can be given away for nothing. And this method of speaking of which is a great grace, and it doesn't actually use much. The monsters are now recovering their power. Impossible often comes out, so most of the monsters are definitely not infected, and the real need for medicines will not be too much. A symbolic gift is almost the same. "

"You really know how to do it!" "Eagle exclaimed.

"It's not a big deal. We are no longer a small guild with only one city. Now that we are on the cusp of the wind and waves, we are impossible to go down. Either ride the wind and ride the waves, or we will be crushed and never stand up again. This is the law of society, and those who can’t see through can only be honest. Flat-headed common people. "

Hawk Road: "It makes sense. Although it is a bit cruel, it is the truth. Speaking of delivering medicine, what do you do with the three other than Monster Realm? "

" At Celestial Court, I think it’s fine to send someone to ask first. I guess they don’t need this medicine. Taoist priests are specialized in pharmacy. It is estimated that they can deal with the virus themselves, but we have to do it. Regardless of whether they are useful or not, just ask. If they really don’t have one, send a formula. Some of Celestial Court are We will post the money in the way we collect materials and save money. I'm afraid I have to give something to Dark God Palace. Although the undead are not afraid of viruses, the Dark God Palace is not all undead. Demons and devil beasts will still get sick. This should be able to give some, but we are not giving it away for free. Dark God Palace's magic technology and alchemy are both first-class. I don't think it is a problem to blackmail a little this time. As for Light God Palace, the amount of medicine needed over there must be very large. We lost too much in gratis, and the previous relationship between Light God Palace and us has always been negative. Not to the point. My idea is to trade with Light God Palace, but without money, we have to barter. For a family business as big as Light God Palace, good things are absolutely indispensable. "

Hong Yue said: "Monster Realm and Celestial Court are not big problems. The benefits of Light God Palace and Dark God Palace depend on the effectiveness of the negotiation. I am afraid that Eagle and I are not suitable for this kind of thing. Bar? "

I nodded and said: "Our relationship at Dark God Palace has always been pretty good, and we have some close friends, so I will do it. As long as I made it clear that I was entangled with Al Nihu, I would not believe that she would not let go. As for the Light God Palace, I think it needs a formal diplomatic meeting. Rose, bring Su Mi and Asura purple clothed for a trip. Don't play tricks with them. Everyone knows the bottom line. It doesn't make sense to pretend to be innocent. Just make it clear that the conditions are good. "

Ross said: "Since I plan to showdown directly, I don't think I can go to this matter." "

"Why? "

"Because I am not the kind of person who walks in a straight line. Rose looked towards Eagle: "Eagle, can you take Bailing and Asura purple clothed?" If something happens, Bailing is responsible for making up your mind, you can just serve as a special envoy to deliver the message. "

Bailing nodded and said: "I will go with the eagle. Anyway, it's not really going to play tricks, we can get it done. "

Su Mei said: "Or I will go together?" Light God Palace can’t charge too much, but we don’t calculate if there is too little. I think it’s better for me to make a balance. "

" OK. You are not noticeable anyway. "I nodded and said: "Well, the use of medicine is so decided. I believe that we will usher in a new era in the future, but the past few days may be busy. "

Rose continued my words: "Then let's discuss the second question. Dark God Palace wants us to rebuild Isengard, what do you think? "

"I have a little idea about this. Su Mei said: "Since Dark God Palace provides all the materials and manpower, don't you think we can make Isinger bigger and deeper?" "

"How big do you want to build?" "

Su Mei drew a large scroll from her Fenglong Space and handed it to me: "Open it and take a look. "

I hurriedly flung the scroll on the table and unfolded it. After the scroll was unfolded, it was as wide and as long as our conference table. Our table is not the kind of small conference table in ordinary companies. This table It is specially made, the area is not generally large, and you can play badminton on the table, but now this scroll actually covers the table.

"Halo! what is this? "Awei looked at the blueprint and was completely dumbfounded.

Hong Yue looked at the blueprint and then at Somei: "Are you going to repair the air-raid shelter?" "

Sumi smiled and said: "Look at the scale. "

"Oh my God! "Hong Yue couldn't help but yelled. "What are you trying to fix?" "

"Secret base. "

"Is this too big?" "

"I want to be the worst. After all, the number of people in our guild is not as small as before, and we may need a dedicated technical development department. Now the Elder Sister of Woma and the engineering department It is not suitable for people to be crowded in a steel city, I think it would be better to separate them out. "

Sumei's words immediately got Woma's support. She had long proposed that she wanted to separate the research department from the steel city. This time, it happened to be a chance for urban renewal.

< p>In fact, the content of this blueprint is not complicated. The ground part is completely copied according to the original Isinger. The changes are all details and have little effect on the overall layout of the city. The key is the Underground City part. The original Aizenge Singh can be lifted into the air, but that requires digging a large foundation for the city and building a completed chassis. This project is too vast. What's more troublesome is that Isinger is leaning on the sea, and he needs to dig the foundation first. Build a dam and drain the seawater out of the dam to excavate. This amount of work is no longer a small project.

In the current design, the Underground City has been modified to a form that cannot leave the ground. This is just like the Underground City in other cities. It is enough to dig out a hole in the soil and support it with materials. The amount of this project is reduced and it is more affordable. After all, we already have a flying Isinger. The ground is not so exaggerated.

A key issue in the design of this new Isinger is the second Underground City. What Hong Yue was surprised by just now was this design. Sumei plans in Underground City. Below is a vertical channel extending down to three to five kilometers. If necessary, it can even be digging up to seven kilometers deep. Sumei Design will make a big hole under this channel to create a spherical confined space. This space will be built in the star space. There are five working floors, each with a working area of ​​about 700,000 square meters, and the extra corner areas are used as power settings and service equipment rooms.

In the design of Sumei, there should be around this large sphere. 6 small balls, each small spherical space is divided into three layers, each layer is about 100,000 square meters. These 6 small balls will be responsible for different functions in the future, and each small ball is connected to the main ball by a 1-km-long channel A network of divisions is formed. In addition to these 6 balls, a vertical downward channel well is designed directly below the big ball. This well will extend directly down to the lava layer. The channel will be transformed into this again. A special equipment area, and the name of this equipment is-thermal energy converter.

"What is this? "I pointed to the heat converter and asked Soumi.

"Isn't it written on it?" "

Hong Yue followed me and said, "We understand the words, but what is this thing?" Could it be a geothermal power station? "

Sumei said: "The use of electric energy in this game seems to be different from reality, so it is impossible to build a power station, but this device is indeed a device for extracting geothermal heat, and its function is direct The energy is converted into mechanical energy and transported through the drive shaft to the graded power room near the central ball cabin. This set of equipment is designed by Elder Sister Woma, you can ask her for details. "

We didn't wait for us to speak, Woma took a blueprint and put it on the table: "This is a design drawing, I think you should be able to understand it." The principle of this thing is similar to the heating pipe of a domestic gas water heater, and the circulating grid design is used to increase the heating area to achieve a good heat absorption effect. When the water enters from one end, it flows through the hot heat absorber to be heated, and then flows out from the other end. However, the heat source here is lava. Once the water flow takes away the heat, the flowing lava will be cooled into rock. In fact, the thermal conductivity of the rock is not good, so the condensed rock will affect the work of the heat absorber. In order to cope with this problem, I designed it. Multiple heaters work in turn. The lava in the mantle itself is fluid, as long as the lava is frozen on the heat exchanger without excessive heat absorption, the cooling lava that flows away will slowly heat up to its original temperature, and the new flow is high temperature lava. , Which ensures stable and continuous work. And in case of condensation, we can turn off that set of heat exchangers, and after a while, the surrounding lava will naturally melt and wash away the condensed rock again. At the same time, multiple sets of equipment are also convenient for maintenance, even if one or two sets are broken, it will not affect the overall use. "

I pointed to the graded power room and asked: "Then what do you do when the hot water is here?" We don't open the bathhouse! Besides, fish can be cooked at the temperature of the water. Who dares to bathe in this kind of water? "

Woma explained: "This is actually different from what you think. Our plan is like this. The first water entering the heat exchanger is desalinated seawater. The salt water will corrode the pipes and become troublesome once it crystallizes. When the ice-cold sea water enters the grading power chamber, it will flow into the spiral pipe. This pipe will be entangled with the outlet pipe of the heat exchanger and connected to the two ends of the exchanger. The hot water from the heat exchanger has already begun to transfer heat to the cold sea water as it flows into the power chamber. There are two purposes for this. The first is to prevent the pipeline from exploding. It is definitely impossible for the cold seawater to enter the exchanger directly without preheating. The second reason is actually to reduce temperature and pressure. The temperature of the seawater coming out of the heat exchanger is as high as thousands of degrees, and due to the pressure problem, although it has passed the boiling point earlier, the seawater still remains liquid. This kind of water flow is a burden on our equipment. The heat exchange itself is in the lava, and the internal and external pressures are very large, so it will be fine, but the above pipes are not working! "

I plan to say to her: "Have you experimented with this device?" "

"No. "Woma shook his head and said: "I just planned this equipment, and it is theoretically feasible. "

"Since there is no real thing, I suggest revising the plan as soon as possible. "

"Why? "

"First, desalination of seawater is not a trivial matter. Although we can do it, the cost is too high. Second, the heat exchange capacity of water is still too slow. The general temperature is still reasonable. This kind of high temperature Water is not suitable for the situation. "

"Then how to change it? "

I looked at the blueprint and asked: "What do you plan to use for the switch pipeline?" The temperature and pressure in this environment cannot be withstood by ordinary materials. "

"We don't use any materials. "Woma directly said: "I asked Vina Goddess. She said that a permanent isolation magic barrier can be built in the form of a magic array. This array uses the magic in the power pipeline and creates a strong barrier to isolate the inside and the outside, so that we The poured water is actually flowing next to the lava, and there is no heat conduction problem. "

"If this is the case, make the circulating pipe closed. "

"Huh? closed? How to send water? "

"We don't use water. "I pointed to the blueprint and said:" Fill the pipe with mercury directly. The metal has a large specific heat and good thermal conductivity. The mercury will not corrode the steel pipes on the ground and will not carry impurities to form crystals. The mercury in the closed pipe circulates repeatedly. After being heated in the heat exchanger, it circulates to the Level 1 power chamber and then heats other things to cool itself before returning to the bottom for heating. The pressure problem can be solved by dividing the exchange chamber into several more stages, and more saving. "

Woma said excitedly: "Purple Moon, did you study mechanical engineering before?" "

"No! "

"Then why do you think of Level 2 heating? "

"My air conditioner is like this! "Boom, fainted in the room. "In fact, the principle is very simple, you just didn't expect it. "

Woma nodded: "I know, I will change blueprint when I go back. "

Rose said: "How do you plan to use the heat exchange?" "

Woma said: "This is thanks to the Necromancer who was found as a magic puppet by President Purple Moon. "

"You said Lund? "

"Well. "Woma said: "It's that guy. He accidentally mentioned last time that he had previously thought of using the volcanic crater's lava heat to convert it into magical energy for the magic puppet to use, but because of insufficient funds, he had been stuck in the fantasy stage and did not dare to experiment. After joining us, this guy spent money like water and dared to do anything. Some time ago, he really successfully experimented with a device that can absorb heat and convert it into magical energy and directly input it into the urban power pipeline. That is to say, with this thing, we can free the urban power core as a backup power or provide it for flight. A city like Isinger that cannot use geothermal heat. In short, it can save a lot of energy, and it will be much more convenient to charge the red-stripe magic crystal in the future. With the extra heat, we can also build some defensive facilities, such as building a moat. When the enemy wants to attack, we will boil the river water and let them jump down and become boiled. "

It was said by Woma that we all imagined a moat of boiling water in our minds, how fierce it would be!
