Steel Steam and Flame

“I don’t think that the scientists in the empire’s scientific research structure have completely abandoned this field. Those people are not conservative. They have always been interested in exploring and developing new things. But the current fact is that the popularity of electricity is only used for Lighting and basic communication transmission is nothing more. The power operation in life is almost driven by steam. It seems that the position will not be shaken by electricity in a short time." Sotagong said slowly, "Of course this is just my guess. ——Perhaps something restricts the development of electric power, which is a problem that cannot be solved in a short time even with the highest scientific research institution of the empire. Stability? Safety performance? Or is it a problem in mining and manufacturing? Or is it more steam power, electric power belt After all, the motivation to come is much smaller?"

"After I got out of school, I read a lot of books and got a lot of precious information by virtue of my identity. Maybe there was a reason, but it was blocked so badly that I couldn't touch the core."

"Of course it's the reason. As a huge country, the empire will never do meaningless things." Cassia is very sure of this, but there are some places that I don't understand. "In fact, I don't know much about electricity. , Only limited to lighting and communication, of course, there are also some super-giant construction machinery. I have seen a super-giant mining machine in an abandoned dolomite mining area. The main power is the old generation of light pipes. Provided. The generation and heating of the steam is done by using the electricity inside. There are also pneumatic weapons, Mr. Sotagong should be familiar to you."

"In this area of ​​business, I have a few familiar mechanics who provide a variety of imitation or customized pneumatic weapons. But the profit is not high, and they all go into the pockets of those mechanics. I can understand the application of Huiguan." Sotagon looked again, and he knew a lot. He had been an intermediary agent for nearly ten years, and his time was not only spent on black market business.

"Abandoned super-giant machinery for mining, no accident, it should have been built by the Empire Mining Company." With a certain tone, Sotagan's expression became a little puzzled here, "This place is also incomprehensible. As one of the seven giant companies in the empire, they can directly connect with the top scientific research institutions. Judging from the current status of electricity in the empire, their approach is indeed a bit strange. On the one hand, many large machinery and war machines almost always exclude electricity. On the other hand, they are actively using this convenient energy in other fields."

"The volume of the Hui tube and the energy contained in it don't really reflect each other." Cassia added.

"Or, as one of the power institutions in the empire, they have far more information than us. In other words, they know when and where they can use the radiant tube. And in other regions , Only steam can drive the shaft to move?" Sotagon waited for Cassia.

Without getting an answer, Cassia looked at the white gas on the surface of the water. He had hardly thought about this kind of question, and it didn't matter what to discuss with Sotagong.

When the two returned to the house, it happened to be ten o'clock in the morning. It's been a long time. After changing their clothes, the four of them had no intention of going to the factory. Fortunately, there was some food in the refrigerator in the house. After a brief deal, the four of them sat down to discuss the next plan.

At the table, the expressions of several people all became serious. To be able to go now, strength and care are the basic qualities of everyone.

"My team will come over tonight, and I will trouble you with the supply of accommodation and weapons." When he returned last night, Cassia also briefed Ye Jielin about his situation. Tried again, but still did not contact Ato Ring. Selmer should have been there, and it was only a matter of time before he met Ato Ring.

Sotagon nodded and said yes. Betta spread out the plan of the city, marked by a giant steam tower. After three days of exploration, some areas were painted red.

"This is the result of the investigation. I can't guarantee the correctness. It can only be used as a reference. The Ovilia in your mouth knows us well, and the investigation data is very comprehensive. The first time the bait was released, the signal was found and launched. We have also sent people to investigate several airports. It is true that there are records of small airships landing, but it says that they are merchant ships used to transport some valuable mechanical parts." Berta knocked on the table, "Follow this. The clues continued to be traced, and all the transported mechanical parts disappeared. The enemy swept the traces very clean."

"Active search will not produce good results." Ye Jielin said, "Those mechanical parts are probably all weapons. Ovilia is very talented in machinery, and the operation is determined to be in the second stage. There may be A new set of battle armor customized for her by the Astus family. The faster and proficient use of the battle armor is very important to her, she will not miss the opportunity to practice in actual combat, and she must plan ahead."

"Battle Armor,,," Sotagun raised his interest ~www.ltnovel.com~ It is also one of the integration of the Empire's industry and biological science and technology. It is only used as a war machine and will not appear as frequently as airships. In the lives of ordinary people.

"This is the source of your small ultra-vapor compression devices. But they are not complete. Because they cannot be overridden, Ovilia's body strength has not fully reached the standard, and some functions cannot be accepted by the second-stage surgery. . But it can indeed increase Ovilia’s combat effectiveness to a higher level. Firepower is somewhat limited by size and size, but defense is a big trouble for our side. Firecrackers should not work anymore. Heavy machine guns that destroy the bunker may be able to. ."

Sotagon smiled and shook his head: "So you asked me to prepare these things three days ago. Unfortunately, we are not Miss Ye Jielin, you have the Weber Company's arsenal behind you. You said This kind of heavy machine guns of better quality are those from the big forces and the military that voluntarily flow into the black market. This is not easy to handle, at least for my current status. There are large-caliber white gold bullets, and platinum gunpowder can also be used. Get a lot of them, concentrate the explosion, and the armor can’t hold it. It’s just that,,, I want to lead the enemy to the explosion site..."

"What about gas weapons?" Cassia interjected at this moment. Pneumatic weapons have always been called the absolute nemesis of steel machines. The heavy and huge armored units that are often used to quickly cut the enemy on the battlefield are also extremely destructive to buildings. The threat performance even surpasses aerial bomb clusters in some special missions and battlefields. It's just that the standard of use is too high, and the rigid requirements for the surgeon are extremely strict. In the imperial military, only those with the rank of lieutenant or above are eligible to access pneumatic weapons. And it is only limited to contact, knowing that there is such a highly destructive weapon.
