Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 199: Steelmaking
But it’s okay, [decomposition] can be transformed.
The Rune Research Institute has already transformed [Rotation] and [Linear Acceleration], and it won’t be a big problem to rebuild one more rune.
The magicians did not spend much time, and they "degraded" [Decomposition] to the rune group [Decomposition], successfully solving the problem of replacing magic crystals with magic stones.
However, this has led to a new problem-heating stability.
Unlike the abnormal sword of annihilation, which can decompose matter at room temperature, [Decomposition] can only do this at high temperatures.
To be precise, the substance to be decomposed must be in a molten state. This is mainly for metals, because metal bonds are extremely difficult to smash at room temperature. After melting, the bonding force of the metal bonds is greatly reduced, making it easier to decompose.
This has another advantage, that is, it greatly saves mana consumption.
However, what is surprising is that there is a very serious problem when using the rune group [decomposition] for testing.
Once the temperature fluctuation exceeds a certain limit, the decomposition process will become very unstable, and the decomposition rate will instantly drop from over 99% to about 50%.
In other words, only half can be broken down, and what the other half was originally, is still what it is now.
Moreover, the higher the heating temperature, the smaller the fluctuation range must be.
If it is heated to 1500 degrees, the allowable fluctuation value is 50 degrees, and if it is heated to 2000 degrees, the fluctuation value is immediately reduced to 30 degrees.
Isn't this cheating?
With such efficient decomposition, even if it is decomposed four times in a row, there will still be 6% remaining. What is this concept?
Imagine that steel contains 6% impurities. Is it still steel?
This is whether the scrap is good or not.
This is definitely unacceptable, let alone doing it several times in a row, and the energy waste is also very serious. No matter how rich the Lord Lord is, he can't hold this kind of gameplay.
What should I do?
Think of a way to make the flame temperature more stable?
This is almost impossible.
The reason is that it is too difficult to keep the temperature constant while maintaining the high temperature. It is almost impossible to achieve this during the heating process with fuel.
For example, if charcoal is used for heating, as long as there is a certain disturbance in the airflow, it will cause uneven combustion. Fluctuations around 50 degrees are simply too common.
After trying several times, after discovering that it was impossible, the magicians tried to continue to improve the rune group to eliminate this fatal flaw.
Although they tried their best, they were still at a loss.
Later, Lord Lord learned of this difficulty, and came up with an idea: Can you use the rune set [Thermal Power]?
After the heat generated by combustion is converted into thermal energy, it does not necessarily have to be converted into kinetic energy, but it can also be reduced to heat energy.
Although this will inevitably cause loss and reduce efficiency, the rune group has a great advantage. Its stability is surprisingly high, and it can just solve the problem of temperature fluctuations.
One word awakened the dreamer.
After slightly modifying the rune group, Seth and others tested it, and the temperature in the decomposition vessel was indeed very stable, with no fluctuations at all.
In addition, this has another huge benefit, the heating temperature can be higher.
The higher the temperature, the more unstable the chemical bond. When the rune group smashes the chemical bond, the less magic energy is consumed.
There is no doubt that compared with fuel, the value of magic stone is much higher. If the temperature is controlled near the boiling point of steel, the saved magic stone is not a little bit.
Theron Island, steel plant.
Although compared with the conventional steelmaking method, the magic steelmaking method can be called the most environmentally friendly and energy-efficient steelmaking method, but as a heavy industry with high energy consumption, it inevitably has certain pollution.
Out of the consideration of reducing pollution, all heavy industries are planned to be on the island of Seron, which has a smaller area and fewer residents, and the related workers and their families are also relocated to the island of Seron.
However, some people were unwilling at first.
McGray is one of them.
He grew up on Black Skull Island since he was a child. No, Odin Island. He has been called Black Skull Island for decades. It was difficult to change his habits for a while. He joined that simple iron workshop on the island when he was 15 years old. Worked for a full 12 years.
Suddenly I heard that the workshop was going to be relocated to the "remote" island of Theron. Of course McGray was very unhappy.
What is the place on Sairon Island? That's where the village turtles live!
Hey, the word "turtle" is the most popular word on the island recently. It is said to be a vocabulary created by the lord. Anyone who doesn't understand what "turtle" means is a real turtle.
The workers in the iron smelting workshop took the courage to express their worries about moving to a gentleman who claimed to be the Ministry of Industry.
The gentleman was very kind. He listened carefully to everyone's demands and told everyone that the Government Affairs Office would seriously consider the workers' demands.
Before the change, no one would dare to fight against the lord's command, otherwise the fierce territorial guards, bah bah, most **** pirates would leave him in the sea.
That is to say, the new lord is particularly kind. At his request, the City Affairs Office treats the civilians very kindly, and the workers dare to make a comment.
Lord Lord deserves to be the most merciful Lord ever. Only one day later, the gentleman from the Department of Industry reappeared and read out a series of relocation benefits to everyone.
These include several items, such as a monthly salary increase of 2 silver nars, employee housing, free lunch and dinner on weekdays, and a round-trip flight to Odin Island once a week.
Everyone agreed to the relocation without hesitation, and such a good thing is not a fool.
Not to mention other benefits, only 2 silver nars are enough to make the most stubborn people change their minds.
In the territory, due to the low food prices, the purchasing power of Yinnar is quite high. The cheapest Baishabei jerky is sold at 12 copper nars/kg, and 2 Yinnar can buy 17kg of dried scallops, enough for the whole family. Eat small for half a month.
The employee housing is even more exciting.
After the territories were hit by a disaster some time ago, the Government Affairs Office used a large amount of manpower and material resources, as well as those amazingly powerful "horses and carts", to build many "public rental houses."
These rooms are spacious and bright, and they are quite sturdy, with concrete floors.
At that time, everyone was very envious of the victims. Many people said that this group of guys got lucky and met the most merciful lord in the world. On the contrary, because of a blessing in disguise, they all lived in such a good house.
Unexpectedly, he would encounter such a good thing in a blink of an eye.
The iron workshop is well moved!
If the workshop does not move, how can there be such a good thing that you can't even dream of?
The gentleman also said that the rental price of employee housing is the same as public rental housing on Odin Island.
But there is one thing, employees can buy it at their own expense!
This is even more exciting. How can the rented house be the same as your own house?
Of course I have to buy it!
It doesn't matter if you don't have that much money for the time being. I heard that Haichao Bank has recently opened a bank on Odin Island. You can apply for housing loans and pay in installments.
What is this called?
Spend future money and enjoy life in advance.
The bank clerk also said a word, which impressed McGray very deeply and made him agree with it from the bottom of his heart.
If you rent someone else’s house, if the money is spent, the house is still someone’s. Then why not spend a little more money so that although the money is spent, the house becomes your own.
Which one do you choose?
McGray did not hesitate to choose the second type. The loan is not expensive anyway. A house of 65 square meters costs 10 jinnars. If the repayment is divided into 10 years, you only need to pay 9 silvers per month. Gnar, it can bear it.
Although Odin Island is more prosperous, isn't there a free flight? If you need to come to Odin Island, by the way, you can also experience the latest clippers launched by the shipyard.
It is said that the ship is very magical. It has no sails, but it is faster than the fastest sailing ship, and it is not afraid of turbulence. As long as there is no storm, it will go back and forth between Odin and Sairon on a regular basis.
The bank clerk's speech tricks of flicking the turtle as a house slave naturally came from Renault, a ill-intentioned fellow.
The workers in the steel plant have such a high income, and of course they have to slaughter them if they have the opportunity.
Those remarks sounded plausible, but there is a fatal logical loophole: whether it is purchased or not, the right to use the house will not change in any way.
If you spend 4 silver nars for rent, you can live anywhere, and you can buy 9 silver nars, and you can live in the same way.
Spending an extra 5 silver nars a month to acquire the ownership sounds very good, but what can it do?
Can ownership be eaten?
Or, sell after waiting for appreciation?
I'm sorry, Renault doesn't welcome speculators. In his opinion, speculators are social cancers. His turf will definitely hit them hard.
Therefore, McGray would not notice that the cunning bank clerk deliberately underestimated a clause.
The clause is described below.
"For all real estate in the territory, the Government Affairs Department has the absolute right of first refusal. The purchase price is: the last transaction price × the previous year's inflation rate (2%)."
A house bought by 10 kinnals, after 5 years, want to sell it for 20 kinnals?
There is no door, the government affairs office will buy it at the price of 11 kinnals, and then sell them to those who are willing to sell 20 kinnals.
This difference belongs to the lord.
Want to real estate? Go and make your dream of Qingqiu.
In the entire territory, only the lord alone can speculate in real estate.
