MC's career as foreign lord

IndustrialCraft 2, also known as Industrial Age II, along with mods like Tinker's Construct and Botania, is considered one of the most fundamental mods in Minecraft.

Its foundation lies not only in its ease of use but also in its excellent modification of the world. It also cleverly achieves the real-world progression from the Stone Age to the Industrial Age through certain special alterations.

At least, when many people first play this mod, they understand what the most important things are in the Industrial Age and how they need to restart such an industrial era and reduce their workload.

In such a blocky adventure world, forming a completely modern and special mode will naturally make people feel very novel. You may not dwell on how much you've traveled, but you will definitely immerse yourself in the creation of a great industrial age, automating and securing everything. Moreover, you can forge a series of items and firearms through this industrial system.

That's right, compared to the firearms handcrafted by dwarves or manufactured with Tinker's Construct smelteries, firearms forged through the industrial system are, of course, more feasible and developable.

After all, the things truly forged through these industrial systems possess the most streamlined and intricate attribute effects. And the simplest thing is that they will genuinely become products on an industrial assembly line, rather than things that require precious resources to forge. This also means that his plan for an army of ordinary people becomes possible.

He can develop this Industrial Age well and, based on this, truly transform the world. Of course, he has to start from scratch.

After taking a tour of the Nether and greeting some people still working there, Zhou Ren left. Even the empty, uninhabited areas below weren't particularly pleasant places to be.

So, he thought about putting the base in the sky. This wasn't to increase the construction difficulty. In fact, there were already many buildings in the sky, especially with the help of various elevators and special magical devices, they could move between these buildings very easily.

However, this time, 'sky' doesn't refer to the near sky, otherwise, the distance would be too close, and it would still be noticed by others. Although Redstone technology is now almost an open secret, it still can't be easily detected by others.

After all, if the secret of infinite energy Redstone isn't unraveled, they can only guess the operating power and energy-saving efficiency of these machines and treat the skeletons that run over to check them every day as creatures that replenish energy. After all, due to the existence of the inventory, everything can actually be hidden very well.

But the exposure of Redstone contraptions should be soon. In the upcoming auction, he will sell a torch, presumably made of Redstone. A torch made of Redstone should attract many buyers, even if there's only a little red light on it, without any flame.

But a full Redstone signal can help them solve many problems. Presumably, no one will refuse such a temptation. If Redstone technology is exposed, then they should develop new technologies as trump cards. Within the basic mod of Industrial Age, there are many combat mods and various technology mods that can be linked. Who knows, he might be able to use them one day?

The prospects of this mod are, of course, much broader than the previous few combined. After all, this is a mod that truly involves more high-end industries and combat power, unlike the previous few, which, even with additional mods, are just empty promises.

At the end of the Industrial Age mod, at least he can acquire the top-tier combat power from the technological age. That's right, it's what you think it is. The most cutting-edge thing from the technological age is, of course, its explosive power.

The ultimate product of the Industrial Age, an object that can completely overturn an entire chunk in an instant, the most promising creation of the Industrial Age: the nuke!

But no matter what, from any perspective, he has to start from the very beginning. This thing hasn't spread yet, and he can't have his dwarven engineers come over to research it. He should first get all these things sorted out.

Coincidentally, perhaps to reminisce about the time he spent playing on sky islands, he had the gnomes build a huge sky island here. The island is covered with torches to prevent the sparse and rare monsters from spawning. At other times, the island is left empty.

After all, from any perspective, there's no need to use such a high sky island for this territory. On the contrary, his own research, due to the specificity of this research, requires it, so he only built a small house here, put some basic supplies in it, and didn't continue.

Now, he can continue to use it. He ran to the villager trading area, exchanged a large amount of resources for some emeralds, and then ran to the special area from Forestry, obtained some phosphate ore to use as fertilizer for growth, and finally exchanged for a dozen rubber tree seeds at the villager trading block.

Regardless of the era's research data, they will tell you very clearly that the most important basic resource for modern technology society is always rubber.

After all, like oil, it is called the driving force of industry. Zhou Ren didn't hesitate to exchange an entire stack of emeralds for rubber tree saplings, so he wouldn't have to worry about lacking them later and could plant an entire rubber tree forest for future needs.

Of course, to prevent the saplings from growing too slowly, he specially made this special fertilizer to promote the growth of saplings. In that case, it should only take a few hours to obtain a large amount of rubber, right?

He really hasn't tried researching IndustrialCraft by himself, but since there's no one available right now, let's just do it this way. He took the elevator to the sky island, looked at the flat ground and the well-divided areas, and couldn't help but feel a surge of ambition.

He didn't expect that even after coming here for two years, he would still have enough time to do this. This shows that he's managing the territory well and isn't as overwhelmed as he initially imagined.

The planting of saplings is, of course, the same as other things. Rubber trees are more similar in nature to the original saplings, and not just a special type of ornament. Their trees are actually modified based on spruce wood, but they look more peculiar. In the forest, they are often a head taller than other trees, with a layer of leaves on top.

Zhou Ren scattered fertilizer, and watched the saplings grow rapidly. In less than 10 minutes, they had grown into towering trees.

The use of this fertilizer is almost the same as bone meal, but in many cases, it is not said or calculated that way. Most of the bone meal in the territory is used to nourish the skeletons. After all, skeletons can communicate with plants, guide them to grow quickly, and do not need to consume any resources.

This guidance, coupled with the special effect of the Tree of Life, can create a rapid growth trend in the territory. Even without doing too much, such guidance can be completed. This is much more important than ordinary things.

Therefore, in the territory, the only places where plants need to be forced to grow are those that the Tree of Life does not cover. They will establish dead corners of the Tree of Life in these places and use phosphate and other minerals for special forcing, which can also be considered a way to play.

Okay, now that the rubber trees have been cultivated, the next step is naturally to find rubber. Rubber grows on the trunk of the rubber tree, as a small square dot, looking a bit like a small black mark on it.

This small square piece is actually the rubber flowing out of the rubber tree. Generally, if you don't do anything to a rubber tree, it will continuously produce rubber at fixed intervals.

Zhou Ren doesn't want to be short-sighted, so he will keep these dozens of rubber trees here until the future industrialization is truly mature and he has a complete rubber catalysis template. Only then will he cut down these trees and transplant them to a dedicated tree farm.

After all, in forestry, cutting down trees is the fastest way to obtain resources. Once they have enough saplings, they can directly cut down all the rubber trees, collect all the drops, and the trunks can continue to produce rubber. This is what is truly called seamless utilization.

Of course, although rubber trees produce rubber, the rubber is not directly grown. What it grows can only be called sticky resin. Real rubber needs to be refined and synthesized from sticky resin, and there are two ways to extract resin.

In the future, it can be extracted with an electric extractor, but now he doesn't even have various electric tools, so naturally he can only use the first method, which is to use a wooden faucet.

This is a special tool made by placing 5 pieces of wood and making a wooden faucet, which can then be right-clicked on the sticky resin.

This tool is very simple to make. It can be easily synthesized through a workbench. If you cut down a tree, the sticky resin will not drop. But if you gently click with a wooden faucet, it will be absorbed as if it has encountered a natural enemy.

This is the first step of the entire industrial age, that is, extracting the required rubber element. After all, a tall building rises from the ground. Only by doing this first step well can the other steps be completed bit by bit.

This is not the end. After he cuts down all the trunks, the leaves will naturally fall and become new rubber tree saplings, and then continue to repeat the previous step.

Soon, in less than two hours, he had completed all the preparations when the sun began to turn yellow. The next step is naturally to find minerals.

He left the sky island with some regret. In fact, if he had the 'Skyblock' mod now, he wouldn't need to go underground to mine, and he could obtain more special resources through the 'Skyblock' series.

It's a pity that the difficulty of 'Skyblock' seems to be much higher than industry. He has been waiting until now and still has no progress, so he can only continue to wait, maybe one day it will come quickly?

He can only think so to amuse himself, but fortunately, the current mod update has a great advantage compared to before. For example, many times he only needs to wait for all the areas in the world to complete the construction after the update, instead of making special changes.

This also means that those mod minerals from the industrial age will not need him to find them bit by bit, but will automatically refresh in the mine, and then be transported to the surface by the skeletons bit by bit.

This can be regarded as very good. The minerals of the industrial age are not rare, namely copper, tin, lead, silver, and uranium!

The first four are the basis for making various industrial wires and industrial tools, and the latter is naturally the basis for making nuclear industry!

Presumably, these minerals can be collected in the future. This person is not very anxious. He is still imagining the wonderful use of Xiangzhou. In the future, industrial extraction machines and industrial furnaces will be much better for burning rubber than now. After all, they can increase the amount of rubber from 1 to 2, and from 2 to 3. But there is no way now, he can only put up a few furnaces for burning.

As for those minerals, they can actually still be refined through the Tinker's Construct smeltery. After all, no matter from what direction you look at it, the quality and properties of the minerals refined by the Tinker's Construct smeltery are much higher than if he burned them himself. Tinker's Construct is also one of the few mods that can increase mineral production.

Of course, in fact, the industrial age mod is also one of the mods that produces a terrifying number of minerals. If combined with 'Skyblock' and a complete industrial mod, it can even extract minerals from the void and achieve full industrialization without any pollution or waste.

But those things can only be thought of now, and he can't touch them now. For Zhou Ren, the more important thing has always been the changes in this world.

After all, one of the tasks of MC is to transform the world. It is a machine used to transform the world. You can use this method to change the entire world according to your mood. So being able to transform the world in his own way, this person is already very satisfied. Now, let's make all the rubber first.

Unlike the power generation machines manufactured by forestry, the industrial age has wires that can transmit electricity to any location, and this is one of the main locations where rubber is used.
