Online Game: Island War
Chapter 628: Great development of transportation syst
According to what Wang Buqiu said afterwards, the challenge of awakening is still a bit difficult.
But that's the same for them. If it's from another player's island, it's a little difficult to pass the soul fuser without the help of rune construction.
Of course, after all, there are three chances, think of ways and make more preparations. In the end, most of them should pass, um, probably!
In the past two days, Lei Jiu and Qi Wenchuan were discussing the speeding up of the crystal car.
Thanks to the enthusiasm for infrastructure construction on Huanghuang Island since Lei Jiu, even though the island's current territory has reached a relatively exaggerated level, it is about to enter the 9th level, with a total area of more than 100 million square kilometers, and rail traffic has not fallen.
And such a huge territorial area, if you want to manage it well, you can't do without a developed transportation system.
Right now, as long as the last dozen or so surrendered islands enter the fusion radius, Huanghuang Island will be promoted to the last level.
After that, even if Huanghuang Island continues to devour and merge, and the area reaches 1 billion square kilometers, there will be no more level 10.
Hmm... In fact, many islands have not been integrated to increase the area for a long time, especially those entering the central sea area.
There are no desert islands that can be integrated in the central sea area, and the islands have formed small circles. It is not easy to swallow other islands.
This also leads to, except for the powerful and top-ranked islands like Timeless Island and Ancient Sword Island, the average player's island area has been difficult to increase since entering level 7 and exceeding one million square kilometers.
Most of the island owners, the area of the islands below them, are concentrated between 2 million and 6 million square kilometers, and those with more than 6 million are even the elite of the existing island owners.
As for level 8, those with an area of over 10 million are considered bigwigs, the core of every small circle.
In view of this, unless Lei Jiu swallowed most of the islands in the central waters, it would not be easy for Huanghuang Island to reach 1 billion square kilometers.
Of course, this is still a long way off. Right now, Huanghuang Island hasn’t even reached 100 million square kilometers, although it’s almost there.
The land of nearly 100 million square kilometers is too large, and the distance between the two farthest points on the island is more than 10,000 kilometers. With the current maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour, the efficiency of the crystal car is somewhat low.
There is no need to discuss whether or not to speed up, this is an inevitable trend.
It's just that the speed-up of the crystal car involves many problems, and the two of them are discussing how to solve this problem.
The problem is mainly concentrated in two aspects: technology and engineering.
However, thanks to the popularization and development of alchemy technology, Huanghuang Island now has sufficient technical and engineering background, and it is not a problem to solve these difficulties, but it lacks the unified integration from the upper level.
The transportation system of Huanghuang Island is divided into air transportation, land transportation and water transportation as in the present world.
In terms of air transportation, since the miniaturization of the spar furnace, which led to the advent of the high-power and small-volume spar furnace engine, the development has been extremely rapid.
Because the density of air is far greater than that of the real world, the lift provided by air is greatly enhanced, which is why large air units like dragons can fly.
If it were in the real world, with Crowley's size, without a wingspan of several hundred thousand kilometers, it would be impossible to fly at all.
Think about the real birds, which one is not light, with more hair and less meat.
Even the ancient pterosaurs basically didn't have a few taels of meat apart from the skeleton.
A powerful muscle pimple like a giant dragon needs a terrifying lift to fly.
Because of the strong lift, compared to reality, the flying machines here, um, are also called airplanes. If we unify the name for convenience, the carrying capacity of the airplane is exaggerated.
In this way, the prospects of the air transport industry have been greatly expanded.
However... the high density of air also means that the flight resistance is large, the energy consumption is high, and it is extremely difficult to exceed the speed of sound.
Huanghuang Island has an extremely deep energy reserve, even if the energy consumption is more than ten times higher than the reality... Cough, the application scale is actually a bit painful.
In view of the fact that the faster the cruising speed of the aircraft, the greater the energy consumption, the cruising speed of the aircraft on the island is usually maintained between 400 and 500 km/h.
Right now, Lei Jiu and Qi Wenchuan plan to increase the maximum speed of the crystal car to 300 km/h at one time, which will have a big impact on air transportation.
In terms of water transportation, it is divided into two parts: inland water transportation and sea transportation.
Huanghuang Island was developed from a 1 square kilometer pocket island step by step. When integrating the island, Lei Jiu fully considered the terrain and the continuous transformation of the water conservancy department. The direction of several major water systems in Huanghuang Island And the layout is neat.
Just like the artificially dug canals, they basically follow the expected route.
This also leads to a fairly orderly distribution of water routes on the island.
Because of the advantages of geographical conditions, the inland water transportation system on the island is also more convenient and effective than the current world.
As for shipping, it is not ocean shipping. In fact, except for Gensokyo Island not far away, Huanghuang Island does not communicate with other islands by sea.
But soon, the sea route between the island and the five islands that have turned into younger brothers will be established.
Most of the sea transportation on the island is completed by bulk cargo transportation between coastal cities around the island.
Whether it is by sea or inland waterway, since the speed is obviously not comparable to that of land and air transportation, there are relatively few tasks in passenger transportation, and most of the tasks carried are freight tasks.
The last land transportation, crystal car railway and highway, are also the two transportation construction systems that have invested the most on the island.
Now, these two systems have penetrated into every corner of the island, and their popularity is not comparable to the air and water transportation systems.
This time, the speed of the crystal car is increased, and the standards for freight and passenger transportation are different. The maximum speed mentioned above is 300 kilometers per hour, which is the passenger crystal car system.
On the freight side, due to various scheduling needs, the speed increase is slightly smaller.
In short, the speeding up of the crystal car system can accelerate the exchange of personnel and materials between different places, which is beneficial to the development of the island, which is an inevitable trend.
Since the speed must be accelerated sooner or later, and the accumulation of basic technology and engineering is sufficient, it is natural to implement it as soon as possible~lightnovelpub.net~ In addition to the transportation aspect, the modernization process of the island in other aspects is also in full swing.
Because the spar power generation technology has matured, the island has already achieved electricity to the home, and many daily communication and entertainment appliances such as landline telephones and TVs have been popularized now.
In fact, long before the spar power generation technology matured, mechanical appliances that directly use the crystals of various elements as energy sources have appeared, and even became popular for a while.
However, because you want to use elemental crystallization, you must use a spar furnace. Even if it is miniaturized, the volume will take up more space for households. In addition, the cost of the spar furnace itself is not low. These things are gradually being used. It was replaced by some electrical appliances that appeared later.
At present, because the process technology of integrated circuits is not high enough, the technical content of the electrical appliances on the island is similar to that before the present millennium.
However, with the accumulation and breakthrough of technology, it will not be a problem to catch up with the world in the future.
As for whether it can catch up or not, this... he doesn't know.
The development prospect of communication is much worse than that of the present world. Huanghuang Island has already tried to launch satellites, but the result is that they cannot get out of the atmosphere at all, and they will lose contact immediately after a certain limit.
Without the support of satellites, the relatively complex environmental system on the ground would be more difficult to solve the problem of signal interference.
So even if there is a mobile phone in the future, it will be more difficult to communicate arbitrarily within the whole island, let alone global communication.
Lei Jiu finally discussed some serious matters involving the development of the island, and an email from Shen Baiye that night made him once again become a shopkeeper...
