Chapter 805 10,000 tons per day
When the magic transport airship flew to the center of the “pillar of heaven” against the violent cold wind, Malfoy yelled:
“Recover the helium in the airbag!”
“Yes!”
The “buzzing” vibration sounded immediately.
As an engineering dog, Renault has always paid more attention to technical details. He turned to look at Malfoy and asked:
“The airbags are filled with hot helium. When recovering them, is there any cooling process? Otherwise, the high temperature will put extra pressure on the gas tank…”
“Yes, Lord Lord!”
Malfoy replied quickly:
“We have integrated a small heat recovery device in the gas storage tank. The heat of the helium gas will be converted into’thermal magic energy’ and sent to the’energy center’ of the airship through the magic silver wire, which can supply heat to the pod. , Can also be used to drive jet engines.”
“In short, we have achieved the ultimate in the use of energy!”
“Good job!”
Renault nodded slightly and gave a compliment.
“Lord Lord, use the “energy center” method to centrally manage the energy of the entire system. This is your great idea… This not only improves the efficiency of energy utilization, but also greatly simplifies the system structure… We are just standing On the shoulders of giants…”
Malfoy started flattering.
Renault waved his hand to stop the boy from continuing to flatter, and said:
“Whether to recover the heat of a certain system depends on the actual situation… I think you should know that through the [Thermal Conversion] rune group, the heat is converted into Thermal Energy. It is not without cost. It needs to consume a certain amount of magical energy. .”
“If the mana energy consumed in the recovery process is greater than the thermal magic energy obtained, this is not worth the loss… Therefore, detailed calculations must be made when designing…”
Malfoy nodded again and again:
“My lord, you are too right!”
Just as the two were talking, the transport airship slowly descending, the bottom of which was in contact with the diffuse fog everywhere, then the hull was engulfed a little bit, and finally completely submerged in the fog.
To be honest, moving in such a thick fog is actually a very bad experience.
Because besides water vapor or water vapor, the glass of the pod was instantly wetted, and the line of sight became more blurred, making people feel as if they were walking through a bottomless abyss, and there seemed to be countless terrible monsters lurking in the distance.
Adanis also became a little restless.
As a beast, it relies more on instinct and hates the feeling that everything is out of control.
Fortunately, the “pillars of heaven” are bright enough, even through the thick mist, you can faintly see the “light sabers” piercing the sky. They are like lighthouses in the harbor, giving everyone a certain sustenance.
Until a few exclamation voices came from the magic communicator:
“Hey, I saw the “Life Winner” number… Oh my god, this is such a big guy…”
“I bet it is definitely twice the size of the Navy’s steel battleship…”
“I can’t believe it. Such a big guy can actually fly. Has it been cast by the lord with the legendary magic?”
This is the voice of the personnel stationed on the “Hell Island”.
When it was about a hundred meters above the ground, everyone finally saw the light again.
Looking down through the foggy magic gold glass, there are dots of magic stone lamps everywhere on the ground, starting from around the “pillar of heaven” and stretching to the distance until it disappears in the mist.
At a glance, it looks like a brilliant “river of lights”.
This time, it was the magicians’ turn to sigh.
“My God, how many magic stone lamps did these guys on’Hell Island’ light up?”
“I never thought that once the number of magic stone lamps increased, they would be so beautiful…”
“Anyway, the energy of’Hell’s Gates’ doesn’t require money, but it is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Of course, you can order as much as you can…”
“That’s right, this ghost place is shrouded in fog all year round, and there is no sun to see. If it is me, it will brighten the surroundings a bit, lest it will be dragged away by the monsters in the fog one day…”
When the airship’s height dropped to 20 meters, Malfoy roared again:
“Put the anchor!”
“Yes!”
Two heavy iron anchors, dragging a long chain, fell from the head and tail of the pod respectively, and smashed heavily to the ground.
“Bang! Bang!”
After more than ten seconds, the behemoth, which was more than 200 meters long and weighed more than 100 tons, finally landed.
“boom!”
Accompanied by an extremely dull loud noise, the ground within tens of meters suddenly vibrated strongly.
The landing was successful!
…
15 minutes later, Renault saw the “gate of hell” again.
This huge fire cave still spit out huge flame snakes without stopping, and the flames rushed up to nearly a hundred meters high, illuminating the area within a few kilometers.
The difference is that this time, a large mana smelting furnace was erected more than 1,000 meters away from the fire cave.
As early as 3 years ago, when Renault first heard the news of “Hell’s Gate”, he planned to use this “infinite energy” to refine ore. Now this wish has finally become a reality.
“Lord Lord, I must say, this big fire-breathing hole is indeed a huge treasure…”
The person in charge of the Hell Island base, Lindhem, who just clamored for “Put his subordinates into the gate of hell”, pointed to the “gate of hell” in the distance, and said excitedly:
“The efficiency of this smelting method is too high, and it saves manpower… You don’t need to add fuel from time to time, you only need to put the mined copper ore into the smelting furnace…”
“We put two rune square plates inscribed with the [Thermal Transformation] rune set in the’Gate of Hell’. They convert the heat of the flame into the thermal energy, and then through the magic silver wire, it is continuously transported to the smelting. furnace……”
“According to our statistics, at full capacity, an average of more than 500 tons of’pure copper’ can be smelted per hour. Based on the calculation of 20 hours a day, the maximum output will reach more than 10,000 tons…”
Malfoy and others on the side couldn’t help but let out a few exclamations.
10,000 tons per day!
3.6 million tons in one year!
In another world, this is definitely a terrifying data.
If you say it, it is enough to scare any otherworldly turtles’ jaws.
But in Renault’s ears, this didn’t move him at all.
After all, he comes from a certain big country in different time and space. If any minerals are not measured in units of “100 million tons”, I am ashamed to say…
Lindhem smacked his lips again, and said regretfully:
“Unfortunately, this is only the most ideal data…Most of the time, the mining and transportation of copper ore can’t keep up with the smelting speed… Under normal circumstances, only less than 1,500 tons of copper ingots can be produced per day. 1/6 of the largest capacity……”
“Oh, I think it’s too wasteful…”
Renault nodded recklessly and turned to stare at the large smelting furnace nearly 20 meters high.
A conveyor belt driven by a magic motive transports copper ore to the feeding port of the smelting furnace, falling into the extremely high temperature furnace, and being decomposed into various elements by the rune group [decomposition].
Exhaust gas is discharged from the exhaust pipe connected to the top, and the bright “copper ingots” fall out from the bottom of the smelting furnace, and are transported by another conveyor belt to a metal box, where they fall into the box.
After the copper ingots in the box were full, a magic forklift drove over quickly, easily forkped the metal box, and transported it to the warehouse area where the copper ingots were stacked.
“So, where’s Magic Silver?”
Renault asked suddenly.
The “magic silver” he said refers to the associated magic silver found in the copper ore found in the sea of mist.
The value of this magic metal is much higher than that of copper.
It is also the main purpose of Renault’s order to build this smelter on “Hell Island”.
“Lord, the rune group in the smelting furnace first heats the’copper’ to a boiling state, and then sends the’copper vapor’ into the cooling chamber, which is first cooled into a molten liquid, and then is cast into a copper ingot through the built-in cavity .”
Lindhem explained in detail.
“The magic silver is different. Because of its extremely high melting point, more than 10,000 degrees, it will not be melted… The’magic silver particles’ contained in the ore will fall at the bottom and be sent to another smaller smelting room. , And further smelted into a’standard magic silver ingot’.”
As he spoke, he guided Renault to the other end of the smelting furnace.
“Look, this smaller discharge port is where the magic silver ingot comes out…”
Before he finished speaking, a silver-white metal ingot suddenly slipped from the outlet.
“boom!”
The metal ingot hit the partition with a loud noise.
“Lord Lord, look, a new magic silver ingot has been smelted!”
Lindhem screamed in surprise, bent over and picked up the magic silver ingot with a trace of remaining warmth, and handed it to Lord Lord respectfully.
At this moment, he wanted to kiss the magic silver ingot in his heart from the bottom of his heart.
Lord lord asked about the magic silver ingot when it came out, which was too long for himself.
However, the price of magic silver is too expensive, as high as more than 20 Kinnars/kg, which is almost equivalent to his annual salary.
This standard magic silver ingot weighs 50 kilograms, and the market price is more than 1,000 Kinnars, which is not something he can afford.
Renault took the magic silver ingot, looked at it over and over, and said with satisfaction:
“Not bad!”
After a pause, he asked another question of concern:
“How much magic silver can this smelting furnace extract every day?”
Lindhem reported a bunch of data after thinking about it:
“An average of 6 standard magic silver ingots per day…According to our calculations, each ton of copper ore contains 68 grams of magic silver…”
Renault was immediately more satisfied.
“Very good! This data is higher than originally expected!”
He looked around, his eyes locked on a clearing a few hundred meters away.
I saw countless copper ingots stacked on this open space, they were neatly stacked together to form a 100-meter-long metal wall.
Lindheim keenly noticed Renault’s sight, and he immediately said:
“This is all the copper ingots smelted from the’Hell Island’ for more than a month… Up to now, the total weight of the copper ingots accumulated here has exceeded 40,000 tons… Due to the extremely limited capacity, only enough to transport magic silver and The mined’Fire Elemental Stone’, so the copper ingot can only be placed here temporarily.”
In fact, the “action to lift the Upanishad Sea Monster” that surprised Miss Secretary-General originally originated here.
Because the Silver Goose transport aircraft could not take off and land in the fog, and the territory urgently needed magic silver and fire elemental stones, the Air Force had no choice but to come up with this method, which was to send a group of airborne troops to drag the supplies out of the fog. Send it to the transport plane.
However, this method can only be used to transport supplies that are in short supply. For the huge amount of copper ingots of tens of thousands of tons, the military expresses that it cannot help, otherwise all the airborne troops will be exhausted and the delivery will not be completed.
Renault smiled slightly and pointed to the direction of the airship:
“The reason why we build the airship is to transport the copper ingots… In addition, we will transport the magic silver and the fire elemental stone in the future, and there will be no need to send out airborne troops and transport planes…”
