I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 755 - 544: What? Cannon, Airship! _3
Chapter 755 -544: What? Cannon, Airship! _3
“I see… I’ve heard that it’s very expensive to make.” The Great Scholar whispered a few words with the leader of his household.
The anti-gravity system of the Pandora Crystal Stone isn’t something you can use freely; it requires a power supply to provide energy and needs to adjust the power! Therefore, only technologically advanced civilizations can play with this.
“The one we are currently showcasing has a rated load capacity of 38,000 tons.”
“Inside are two large steam engines, which can burn coal or fuel oil without any issue, along with four large propellers. There are floating engravings on the fortress walls, allowing it to reach a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, with a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour!”
“Our Green Grass City built floating fortress can accommodate 4000 people for living. In adverse weather, it can safely land on the ground, equipped with temperature control engravings and strong insulation abilities of the walls.”
“Moreover, we have arranged large plantations that can be used to grow green vegetables to prevent scurvy.”
This slew of data directly bewildered everyone.
Of course, the price of this large airship is not low, costing a full 240 Spirit Essences, which completely frightened the natives.
Too expensive; you’d need to gather the entire city’s assets to afford it.
Lu Yuan felt that these Lanpeng people were too greedy.
They’ve used this floating fortress for so long already; 24 Spirit Essences is the cost price.
At 30 Spirit Essences, he would sell it.
But the Lanpeng people wanted to sell it for 240… He felt a bit of guilt.
Yet the Wulan Clan seemed somewhat tempted. How much change could a floating fortress bring to the city? Even if it were just for business trips, they’d earn it back sooner or later!
“Hold on! Bargain a bit longer, maybe there will be a discount.”
“Absolutely do not appear too impulsive, or you’ll be like fish on the chopping block!” they warned themselves quietly.
The next item looked quite strange, like a large glass window, entirely blue, yet quite appealing.
“What is this…”
“Ahem, this is a solar panel, infused with engraving technology and energy storage technology, capable of collecting sunlight during the day and storing electric energy for convenient nighttime use.”
“The solar radiation here isn’t very strong, but it meets the minimum usage standards.”
“Our Lanpeng Clan’s design standard is for space use, so it excels in cold resistance! These solar panels are durable, with a warranty of over fifty years! If maintained well, they can last for hundreds of years without any issues,” the Blue Feathered Birdman guaranteed.
It seemed like merely an enhancement to improve life.
But it’s cheap, a solar panel costs only 0.05 Spirit Essence, which sounds enticing.
This thing can generate electricity, boil water, provide hot showers, and supply energy for electric lighting.
As nobles, shouldn’t they enjoy some luxury?
A portable jade pendant can be exchanged for a solar panel, to enjoy several hundred years of use—how can that be a mistake?
“No hurry, let’s take another look, take another look…”
“And what is this?”
“A generator; it only needs fuel to generate electricity. If you don’t have gasoline, cooking oil can barely suffice, but its lifespan might be shortened somewhat.”
Unexpectedly to Lu Yuan, after some deliberation, these folks shook their heads and gave up!
Buying a solar panel for personal use was almost acceptable.
But large-scale development of electric technology was something they simply couldn’t afford because laying wires would require a lot of copper metal.
Not to mention, generators require fuel consumption, this stuff is too expensive, far higher than coal.
“And what is this thing?” They saw a peculiar tall tower, with a boiler at its center, many thick iron pipes coiled around the boiler.
“This is… a blast furnace for smelting iron.” Lu Yuan sighed; wasn’t this the discarded junk they’ve set aside for ages? Wouldn’t selling this really cause an explosion?
The deputy seated beside explained, “You just need to input iron ore and coal to smelt iron. Ordinarily, smelting one ton of pig iron requires 1.5-2.0 tons of iron ore, 0.4-0.6 tons of coke, 0.2-0.4 tons of flux, totaling 2-3 tons of raw materials.”
“The capacity of this blast furnace isn’t large, with a daily output of around 320 tons, the initial cost of operation is high, needing continuous production to cover costs.”
This statement made the Wulan Clan’s people anxious. They also had boilers, but it was more akin to traditional steelmaking, with far inferior yield and quality.
This blast furnace is good, but could they bear the fiscal burden?
Further flipping through the materials, from firearms and other weapons to various raw materials, and then to flashy extraordinary equipment.
There were even some customized services!
For instance, assisting in creating a field, treating cancer, and repairing some soul damage, etc. As long as you have money, you can buy almost anything!
A real eye-opener, truly an eye-opener.
They had gained a new understanding of the powerful wealth of Green Grass City.
If this is indeed a relic, perhaps… it could become a high-level relic!
Right then, Ta Gang couldn’t sit still anymore, cleared his throat: “Honorable Green Grass City friends, to be honest, we are short of funds and can’t afford many materials… we must carefully choose.”
“Please give us some time for internal discussion.”
“Right now, we are at a loss in making a decision.”
Lu Yuan nodded: “No problem, we have prepared rooms for you, so you can stay for a while. Once you’ve made a decision, feel free to find us.”
He did not mention anything related to “Civilization Points.”
