Steel Steam and Flame

"Mr. Cassia, don't be so shy, everyone is a man." Sotagon was wrapped in a bath towel. Seeing Cassia had woke up, he walked to the opposite side of the pool and sat down in the pool like Cassia.

"Yejielin saw that you had gone to sleep, so let us come here directly." Sotagong sighed and said, "When I came here, I really didn't think that hot springs would be so comfortable."

Cassia nodded in recognition of this matter, and her tight body eased.

"This kind of relaxing time won't be there in the future, and I will help you deal with Ovilia's affairs next time. When things are repaired, I will also start to think of ways to safely deliver the goods to customers. It’s a long route, and you won’t be in a good mood for more than ten days."

"Small super vapour compression devices? I have only heard their names in books. I haven't seen the actual physical appearance. I have seen detailed photos of the large body completely welded to the rearrangement."

"Although it is something that has been popularized in the empire and even in the post-phase continent. After all, it is a collection of steam technology, whether it is made into a super large-scale, such as those on airships, or It is not easy to make it have terrifying power even after miniaturization. The factories in the empire that can make these things are all in the hands of the empire military and those big forces. Want to get one The finished product is used for personal use, and it is also a very troublesome thing in the dark world." When it comes to troublesome topics, Sotagon sighs.

"Do you know how much this thing costs?" Sotagon suddenly smiled and said, maybe now only the profits that he can see shortly afterwards can make him a little bit happy.

Cassia shook his head: "It's definitely not cheap, even if the principle is clearly written in the textbook, but if you want to make it, ordinary factories do not have that ability."

"One is close to 65 million holy coins, and the ones in my hand are still defective products removed from scrap machines. I came here this time to repair some of the more troublesome problems above. There are several techniques. Very good mechanics live here. The model is also an old model decades ago. The update speed of this kind of thing is not fast, and the Empire doesn’t seem to have much interest in the development of this piece. It’s on the black market. , Is still a popular item. But compared to the latest model, it is still two generations away."

Sotagon studied steam power when he was a student, which influenced him a lot in life. Including now becoming an intermediary agent, most of the businesses engaged in are also related to these mechanical power components.

"The empire has really become chaotic. I never thought about selling this kind of goods before. I remember being an agent over the years, and I have sold the most technologically content things, and it is just an analysis of the disassembly and assembly of large commercial airships. The machine parts were taken away from the most critical computing core, leaving only the storage part and the information transmission part, but they were also sold at a very good price. Like miniaturized military super vapor compression devices, goods circulating in the dark world They were all actively released by the imperial military and major forces, and some defective products with major defects were created."

As if noticing that he was the only one speaking, Sotagon smiled apologetically, and did not continue the topic. He turned to other things, things that both of them were interested in.

"Mr. Cassia, I don't know what you think about steam power and the electricity that has been emerging for many years?" It seems that it is rare to find someone who has a common hobby with him. Sotagon did not immediately discuss the plan on Ovilia's side. intend.

Cassia looked over and didn't quite understand Sotagong's meaning.

"Electricity has been around for a long time. In extremely prosperous regions, it has been popularized as early as a hundred years ago. In border areas, the little nobles in those places can also enjoy the benefits of electricity. The place where I was born is better, since I was young I enjoyed the convenience brought by electricity. At that time, I hadn't had much access to the advanced knowledge now. I always thought that electricity would replace the superheated steam in the copper pipes at an extremely fast rate in the next ten years."

Sotagon's face was full of nostalgia. He asked Cassia: "I don't know if you had the same idea when you were a kid. Maybe it won't be completely replaced, but as an emerging energy source, becoming the mainstream is also foreseeable?"

Cassia shook her head and nodded again. When living in a small frontier city, the gas lamp that squeaked every night was indeed something he didn't like very much. The high-pressure mercury lamps emitting blazing white light from several noble houses were something he longed for. I just worked in a factory when I was a teenager. The main power there is provided by steam from the boiler, and some large-scale forging machinery requires start-up and forging energy that is surprisingly large. In the border areas where high-pressure mercury lamps are not fully popularized. In small cities, coal sold entirely as rocks is definitely much cheaper than electricity.

It’s not unimaginable, but after entering the steam factory, some moving things ~www.ltnovel.com~ are more or less connected with copper pipes or steam hoses, and operate by countless valves controlled by differential engines. . Before coming to Manoma, Cassia's life was completely without electricity.

"Perhaps the copper pipes and steam have penetrated into all aspects of the empire. With the empire's thousand years of history, it will take a long time to be completely replaced by new things."

Sotagon did not nod or shook his head. But it can be seen from the expression on his face that he did not agree with Cassia's answer. He raised his head and looked at the sky. A few meters away from the hot spring water, the white mist that rose slowly made Sotagong's face blurred. He felt the cold sensation of the steam slowly falling and hitting his face, and he was immersed in it.

From the side room, Ye Jielin and Berta spoke sparsely, as if they were talking about something.

"Actually I don't know, but as an intermediary agent, I have always been in the business of power components. I have come into contact with a lot of large machines, and there are not a few real war machines in them. You know, those are not always flying in our heads. The merchant ships on board are all airships full of artillery shells. Until now, they still retain the internal structure of a hundred years ago. Electricity seems to have nothing to do with them. I have been inside a few times, although there are lamps, but also Electricity is used for lighting, but gas lamps and lime lamps still exist there and are well protected and can be activated at any time."

Cassia vaguely remembered that someone had said something roughly the same to him. It was when he first arrived at the volcano base, he could be regarded as Lieutenant Doyle to pick him up.

Cassia still remembered Lieutenant Doyle saying that everything that seemed unreasonable was mostly artificial.
