MC's career as foreign lord
Chapter 155 Experience Machine Production
He probably just wanted to have some fun at first. Now that the network system and combat system are here, and most of the combat power has already expressed its opinion, wouldn't it be okay to create a game with a recharge system in the future, inducing some wealthy people to spend money? After all, his experience points are still very useful. If he were to convert them all into gold coins, it wouldn't be good for him. However, just like the monetary system, it's all a facade he's putting up. He wants to do something truly huge.
After all, there's no real danger here right now. If he doesn't dare to stir up trouble, what else would he dare to do? In the future, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
However, now that the ambitious endeavors are done, and the things he needs to stir up trouble are almost ready, it's time for him to get down to earth and do something normal.
About two days ago, before the celebration even started, when he was studying the development of the entire territory, he came up with the idea of an experience machine.
Although he has an incredibly broad mind and will, and envisions the future, he still needs to create his experience machine at this moment, or else everything is just empty talk.
First of all, the experience machine should be represented by a furnace, or a blast furnace. Anyway, it's something that can burn cacti and kelp.
After all, these are the only two useless items that can be burned without causing damage. The burned items can simply be discarded, so there's no need to worry about waste.
As for fuel, as he said before, wool is the best fuel, and after shearing the wool, he can have an endless supply of wool carpets.
With the slime tree, the grown slime trees are the best source of slime blocks. Moreover, in Tinker's Construct, all slime blocks have the same properties as slimeballs, which means they can all be used to make iron farms.
As for wool, it has the same special properties as rails, so it can be directly used to make wool farms. However, of course, he's not going to turn off his iron farm and put wool on it; that would be pointless.
He needs to make a machine that can link things together, putting cacti and wool together and driving them simultaneously.
This isn't very difficult. After all, it's something that needs to be driven, so water can be used. The simplest thing to do is to use furnace fuel.
Make a row of simple hoppers, then let the water flow over the hoppers. The hoppers are connected to chests or directly to the furnace. The newly generated wool will follow the water flow into the hoppers. If the furnace fuel below is full, the wool carpets in the water flow will continue to flow to the next furnace, and so on.
Anyway, although the burning efficiency of wool carpets isn't high, the rate at which they are generated is still very fast, so there's no need to worry about fuel problems. Moreover, this makes it very easy to solve the redstone loop. He only needs a few redstone repeaters and a switch to do it perfectly.
The key issue is the burning material, which is the cactus. There are all kinds of cactus machines, but their efficiency isn't actually that high.
The earliest cactus machine that Zhou Ren made was actually the most primitive one, relying on the cactus to grow on its own and then collecting it with water flow. If there is a large enough area, it can certainly be used.
In later versions, after having some forced ripening characteristics, the original cactus ranches and farms were abandoned, leaving only a few simple cacti, and then frantically ripening them, and then directly collecting them through various hopper minecarts or water flow.
But in the latest version, this feature has been removed, so collecting cacti has returned to the most primitive method, which is large-scale aerial farm dense planting.
Zhou Ren also used this method. He first made a simple redstone circuit, just like a minecart, directly pushing the slime block in the air, then enclosing the space, and placing water flow below to collect all the newly generated wool carpets into the box.
Next, of course, is to make a cactus farm. Since this farm is automatic and does not require anyone to manage it, he only needs to pick a place to build it, and then connect the water flow.
Because the growth characteristic of cacti is that once any block appears around the cactus block itself, it will automatically fall off and be squeezed down. Based on this characteristic, many people have made cactus farms that can grow automatically.
This method of making a farm is the simplest, most reasonable, and most convenient, but similarly, the problem brought about by this method of making a farm is that the growth of cacti will not keep up with the burning sequence of the furnace.
This person had previously roughly calculated that a furnace can burn 6 cacti per minute, then each hour can burn 360 cacti.
But in one hour, the cactus itself may only grow two, which means that to satisfy one furnace, you need almost one hundred and eighty cacti. If he wants to make a wall of experience machines, he estimates that he will have to plant cacti all over the sky.
Just thinking about it is terrifying. The only good thing might be that this world is running all the time, so even if there are no players or other people nearby, the cactus machine will continue to grow.
It's just that the number of cacti needed will be very terrifying, but since there is no better method of cultivating this plant, he can only do this for the time being. Zhou Ren waved his hand and decided to earn some cacti first.
This brings us to the benefits of his terrain. Since there is everything on the entire terrain, cacti are naturally not lacking. Although the number is not particularly large, it is more than enough to make a cactus machine.
He took the slime slingshot and catapulted himself into the sky, and then quickly jumped to a farther position. If he didn't have wings, he would really feel like he was flying now.
Soon, accompanied by his body, he came to this desert filled with flames, flew past the heads of the dwarves, and then stopped the slime slingshot in his hand, forcibly stabilizing his body in this desert covered with red sand.
As long as it is a desert, there will be no shortage of cacti. He quickly began to jump around in this area, collecting all the cacti visible to the naked eye.
Of course, this is not the end. After having the slime slingshot, his movement speed is very fast, but it is still not enough. If there is flying equipment or elytra, he should be able to achieve rapid crossing in the territory in the future.
Soon he left with some cacti. Coming back with him were the dwarves' masters, who were invited to build the cactus tower for Zhou Ren, and also came to cooperate with Zhou Ren in construction.
Compared to those complex and elaborate buildings, the construction of the cactus tower was, of course, very simple. They only needed to build a few platforms 4 blocks high, and then put a one-block-high fence on top of these platforms to enclose the water flow and prevent it from flowing away.
The following work was all done by Zhou Ren. In fact, this was a very large platform, and the water flow inside was naturally very sufficient. He needed to put sand on top of the water flow and then plant cacti on the sand.
Since sand cannot exist independently in the void, each piece of sand needs to have another block underneath to support it and provide the cactus with a good living environment.
These things were, of course, unavoidable. He needed to make certain compromises for the characteristics of MC. However, the placement of the water flow was also done by the dwarves. He only needed to complete the simplest task, which was planting the cacti.
A furnace was placed at the bottom. This furnace, together with the carpet-burning machine that had just been built, would serve as the precursor to the first experience machine. Only after the cacti had all grown up and there were enough surplus cacti could the next step be carried out.
As mentioned before, ordinary cacti need enough time to grow, but there cannot be any blocks next to all the positions where they are staying, otherwise they will be blocked and stop growing.
This is also the prerequisite for a cactus farm, that is, a mechanism that allows the cacti to fall quickly.
After all, after an ordinary cactus grows, if there is nothing to make it fall, the simplest way is to wait for it to grow to its highest point and then completely knock off the three blocks.
This is, of course, a very inefficient method. The most efficient way is to put a block next to the second block of the cactus. At the moment when the second block of the cactus grows, it will collide and then fall down into the water.
Cacti themselves have the characteristic of destroying blocks, and this characteristic does not distinguish between friend and foe. Even if the cactus itself falls down, it will be destroyed because of this characteristic.
This leads to the fact that there cannot be any large obstructions next to the cactus, otherwise the fallen cactus will be destroyed, which makes their choice of blocks relatively narrow.
Zhou Ren's choice was, of course, the simplest block, which is the wooden fence. This kind of block will not have connections when it exists alone, and it looks like a simple wooden pole without any special features.
The newest novels are all first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
But it takes up a very small area, can exist as a separate block, and can also appear in the void. Of course, it is the best touch material. The cacti that grow out will fall down at the moment they touch these wooden poles, fall into the water below, and then follow the water all the way into the block.
Then continue to follow the water all the way down, all the way to the first furnace in the first row at the bottom.
Next to this furnace, next to another funnel, is another completely unconnected water flow, flowing into the furnace from the back, as a fuel supplement for the furnace.
This fuel supplement mechanism is also very interesting. What is left along with the water flow is a very thin wool carpet. As the cactus and wool carpet come together into the furnace, the flames rise, and the cactus is burned into cactus green.
There is also a funnel below the directory, which will discharge the cactus green inside through the dispenser and then throw it into the flame not far away.
This also solves the problem that the burning items in the furnace cannot be thrown out, so that the experience integrated into the furnace cannot be accumulated. Next time he needs experience points, he only needs to open the furnace and take out the carpet inside the furnace, and he can very easily directly obtain all the experience accumulated in the furnace.
However, what he complains about is that the efficiency of this cactus farm is indeed not very high. The dwarves have already built a three-layer farm, and Zhou Ren has also finished placing all the sand and wooden fences on the three layers.
It's just a pity that there is still no surplus of cacti produced. This can only be waited for slowly.
"It can be regarded as having a platform for producing experience points for free. Wait, wait!" He was very attentive and directed the excess carpet to the flame over there through another water flow, so that the excess items produced could be directly destroyed by the flame, so there was no need to worry about the accumulation of materials.
Anyway, these items are not very useful. What is the use of wool carpets? He can't possibly take them out and sell them to the whole world, right?
This experience machine is finally almost done. Time has also come. This period of time in the evening has indeed passed very quickly. The main reason is that the wind is very strong, and they have nothing else to do besides coming back to work.
But the surrounding people still respect him very much, calling him Lord one after another, which also made Zhou Ren nod frequently.
This kind of respect makes him very comfortable. Although it has no practical value, allowing the people to live well is already one of the meanings of his life.
"You're back, Master!" What Zhou Ren didn't expect was that it wasn't one or two people waiting for him outside the house after he came back, but people of all races.
Humans, dwarves, elves, gnomes, from the Goddess of Wealth, the Elven God, the Dragon Clan, almost all the races under his command were all present, waiting for his orders.
"What day is it today that you have gathered so completely?" Zhou Ren asked. He really didn't notice the surrounding situation, so he asked that question.
Everyone sat upright, and after seeing him arrive, the expressions on their faces were also a little subtle, "Lord, we heard that you have a spiritual world? And it can also be used to cultivate offspring?"
The small territory really can't hold secrets, and it's also related to the fact that Zhou Ren didn't say to keep it secret. Under his deliberate indulgence, the big-mouthed Anna couldn't help but tell these things.
He glanced at the little silver dragon, and Anna said confidently, "You said you wanted to find someone to test the effect of the advertisement. If no one knows, who will pay us for advertising?"
She is very clear about this. As expected of the Dragon Clan, everything is for money, and Anna's effect is not bad, "Now, including the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, many people have inquired about the news of the advertisement with me, and they have even paid the deposit!"
Zhou Ren smiled. It seems that everyone is not stupid and can see the position that such a virtual world can occupy in reality, and this is exactly what he wants to see.
"Everyone, don't worry. Since I have released the news, there is no reason for me to eat it alone. However, of course, this is not free. Let's calculate the cost a little!"
The territory construction requires money everywhere. If he doesn't seize the time to deduct some money, what should he do?
