MC's career as foreign lord

"Today is another day to be inspired and strive!" Zhou Ren exclaimed. He got out of bed. The box beside him already contained various foods and tools, so he wasn't in a hurry to get up.

However, the voices of the dwarves outside piqued his interest. Haven't these dwarves been sleeping at all?

He wasn't very clear about such matters, but every race had its own unique processes. He would naturally respect each race's working hours and wouldn't force them to adhere to his own work habits. That was what he, as a lord, should do.

So, after he had finished eating all the food, he leisurely walked out of the house and saw the same bustling dwarven construction site scene.

For the entire industrial system, the simplest thing is not just forging metal or planting rubber. These are just the most basic tasks. The simplest task is always for generating electricity.

After yesterday's preparations were almost complete, today Zhou Ren could finally begin the real work of generating electricity. Because manufacturing a thermal power generator requires batteries, yesterday he mainly had the dwarves forge metal and make various wires, while also giving his newly planted rubber trees a little time to grow.

And now, naturally, it was harvest time. The rubber trees on the other side of the sky island had completely grown up. Because of this, the other side looked dense and lush.

The dwarves had carefully placed many torches there, to prevent the spawning of strange and bizarre monsters.

And what he had to do now was to use wooden planks to make a large number of wooden faucets, and then collect all the rubber from these rubber trees.

Now it shouldn't be called rubber, but rather viscous resin. One wooden faucet collecting from one viscous resin point can only obtain one piece, which is almost a fixed rule.

However, this is only a fixed rule in the early stages of industry. Once things develop to the later stages of industry, after all the electric tools are prepared, there will be special electric extractors to double the efficiency.

But that's something that can only be made in the mid-industrial era, so there's not much point in mentioning it now. The most important thing now is still to make generators, and then use this power generation system to perfectly replace the forestry large trough power generation system. After all, that power generation system is not easy to use, it's complicated, and the electricity it generates is relatively low.

Now, according to yesterday's engineering method, he could assemble a relatively simple thermal power generator. After he successfully assembled the battery with wires, doing the other things again wouldn't actually be very complicated.

So, Zhou Ren quickly made seventy or eighty different thermal power generators for backup.

This speed was certainly not very fast, and the quantity was not particularly sufficient, but in a sense, at least in the short term, while he was completely installing the wind turbines and running them throughout the territory.

These parts were still sufficient.

At this time, it is necessary to talk about the advantages of several different generators. Now they already have enough materials. With the help of these dwarves, he doesn't even need to do too much work, and he can easily obtain a large number of generator materials. This is the advantage he wants to acquire as much as possible, so as not to waste his energy on this kind of repetitive labor.

So, if he wanted to, he could directly make dozens or hundreds of different types of generators, but it's still that point. It's not that the generators can run automatically once they are made. All generators need specific items or environments.

The simplest are, of course, thermal power generators or solar power generators. These two things occupy a small area, require less space, and do not require any debugging.

But their shortcomings are also obvious. Solar power generators can only generate electricity during the day in sunny environments, and the power generation is the smallest among all generators.

Of course, it's not that there is no solution. He specifically checked the synthesis book and the synthesis table inside. After flipping through it a few times, he found that not only ordinary industry, but even the super modules behind industry, including but not limited to enhanced solar energy, were all there.

And the enhanced solar energy's solar power generator and the solar power generator he is currently using are almost not products of the same era. That kind of ultimate quantum solar power generator, which consumes a lot of resources, can even supply power to a giant city with just one unit.

But similarly, the materials required for that set of materials are also extremely terrifying. Making one of those would almost allow him to make two sets of red matter armor. Even if he really wanted to make this kind of generator, he would have to wait until he had Equivalent Exchange, this ultimate late-game module.

After all, Equivalent Exchange, the legendary EMC, can replace all materials. If there are others, such as Starry Sky's Creation or Creating Something from Nothing, he can even obtain stones at the smallest cost for exchanging EMC.

Speaking of Creating Something from Nothing, we can elaborate a bit. This is related to another type of generator, which is the most primitive upgrade of the thermal power generator, or in other words, its upstream generator consumes fewer resources, generates more electricity, and can automatically fill fuel.

This generator is called a geothermal generator, but many players, including Zhou Ren, prefer to call it a magma generator.

After all, in the blocky world of MC, isn't geothermal energy equivalent to magma?

So, in the early stages of most industrial starts, the most commonly used generator is still the geothermal generator.

Especially as mentioned before, in the sky island with Creating Something from Nothing and industry, as long as there is magma and a certain amount of resources, the geothermal generator is almost equivalent to an infinite generator.

After all, Creating Something from Nothing can use stones to burn magma, and the cheapest thing in the sky island world is stones. You only need to have enough stones to have enough magma. And the pipelines from the sky island industrial system can very conveniently transport the constantly burned magma continuously to the geothermal generator.

This can almost form a very convenient and almost dead-end special cycle, especially in that early-stage resource-scarce sky island world, a furnace that can infinitely produce magma, a pipeline that can transport magma, and a generator that can just receive magma and generate electricity.

This cycle can even be used for a long time. After all, in the case of endless magma, there is actually no need to consider the problem of consuming resources, but that is Creating Something from Nothing after all, something that can only be realized in the sky island world.

In reality, the geothermal generator can also achieve this. With magma and a simple special synthesis method, namely steel ingots and empty cells.

With this simple synthesis method, a relatively useful geothermal generator can be obtained.

At least, when there is enough magma, this generator should be able to continuously help the territory generate electricity and heat.

However, Zhou Ren didn't want to do this, because this machine also requires a lot of manpower or other work to manage, which is essential. What he needs is something that does not need to be managed but can still generate electricity. Hydro or wind power generators meet his requirements very well.

Of course, in the industrial age, the actual hydro or wind power generators do not refer to generators in the true sense. Those two have extremely low power generation efficiency, and are even often unstable, or even machines with strange changes, which are not particularly good.

Both the official and the players have abandoned those two machines. After all, they are not very useful and often cause special damage. Many times, you generate electricity for a day, and then find that it may not be as considerable as the electricity generated by your thermal power generator burning for half an hour.

Of course, this person would not allow this to happen, so on the basis of this generator, they created a more peculiar kinetic energy generator.

Accurately speaking, it is a power generation device made by using various wind energy, water energy, steam energy and other machines that can generate energy in the air.

It is no longer like an ordinary generator, just a separate block, but a very interesting special function component, which can also be called the original multi-block structure.

This more diverse block structure, using a series of functional components to generate electricity, will generate more power than the original set.

What Zhou Ren initially wanted to do was actually a simple wind power generator, no, it should be called a wind power kinetic energy generator.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

After all, the complexity of ordinary wind power generators is second only to nuclear power plants, but its power generation efficiency is not high. Only when there are a lot of resources and a lot of such wind power generators are made, may it be a little useful, but at that time he would directly build a nuclear power plant, so what's the point of doing these?

So, after thinking about it, it's better to use a thermal power generator to make do with it first, then directly switch to a wind power kinetic energy generator, and finally directly convert to a nuclear power plant.

As he thought about it, his actions were not slow. He quickly made the simplest thermal power generator between several guide drums, but the wind power kinetic energy generator is still somewhat difficult to make.

Ordinary generators only need simple materials, but for a wind power kinetic energy generator, it also needs some special materials called iron handles, and if you want to make a kinetic energy generator, you also need an electric motor.

It is not difficult to synthesize an electric motor, but the iron handle it needs still requires a special machine, which is called a metal forming machine.

Similarly, the metal forming machine needs the help of a generator, so at the beginning, it can only be operated with a thermal power generator. After having a metal forming machine, the thermal power generator can be upgraded to the most convenient geothermal generator.

This is mainly because the synthesis of a geothermal generator requires the use of a metal forming machine to compress aluminum plates into empty cells. The entire industrial system is completely interlinked, and it is impossible to skip one link and directly make the ultimate product.

He can only use the several thermal power generators in his hand first, and order the dwarves to make more batteries. When the thermal power generators start to operate, they will insert the batteries and fill all the batteries, and then he will first make a metal forming machine.

Many times, these large machines can be operated by separate batteries, and maybe the operating time will not last long, but it can be regarded as a good way to move them.

At this time, you should pay attention to all industries. Large machines basically cannot be mined with wooden pickaxes or stone pickaxes. Even iron pickaxes will directly mine them from the machine into some incomplete mechanical blocks.

At this time, you need to use items such as wrenches or electric wrenches to completely disassemble these machines before you can move them to another place to assemble them. This also needs to be noted.

Zhou Ren nodded with a smile. After the dwarves ate some of the items he distributed with great enthusiasm, they also felt their own fulfillment. At least what he did must be beneficial to the territory, no matter how many beneficial reasons there are, this is a good thing.

He put down the pile of things he had accumulated in his mind. The entire territory would not stop functioning without him. Presumably they should be able to handle things well, and he would continue the next project.

To make a metal forming machine, you need basic mechanical shells, toolboxes, circuit boards, and coils. The synthesis method of circuit boards has actually been done a lot before, so now there is no need to remake them.

He only needs a simpler one, that is, to synthesize it through insulated copper conductors, redstone powder, and steel ingots or iron plates.

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to use steel directly. Even in Tinkers' Construct, steel is actually a particularly easy material to obtain. It only needs to be mixed with a certain amount of coal and iron ingots, but its solution degree is very high, and the resources it needs to consume are also very terrifying. In fact, most of the time there is no need.

The dwarves have even made several boxes of ordinary iron plates, so he is naturally welcome to use them. He takes the insulated copper conductors and some of the redstone powder that has just been transported up, and quickly synthesizes a pile.

Next is the coil, which is a simpler component. You only need to place an iron ingot on the workbench and surround it with a circle of copper wire to simply synthesize something that looks like a spring.

This is the coil that will be used frequently in the later stage, and it is also one of the main materials needed for most industrial equipment.

The last item that needs to be synthesized for the metal forming machine is the boxed item, which is the toolbox.

Similarly, if you have enough resources and want to be lazy, you can still synthesize it with steel ingots, but again, the same sentence, steel is not a very cheap metal, and the resources it needs to consume are much more terrifying than the resources needed to produce it elsewhere.
