Chapter 72 New City Plan

I concluded: "Sumei's opinion makes sense. These scattered players are indeed a powerful force. Even if they cannot be pulled into their own camp, they cannot be tied up by the enemy to attack our chariot."

Bailing smiled and said, "It's better to tie them to our chariot."

Rose said: "To be honest, these scattered players are a variable, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for us to leave them outside the camp."

"Why?" Ying asked curiously.

"The gun shot out the bird." Hongyue said casually: "Americans act as world police everywhere, but they were the ones who were beaten the most. Moreover, the situation in our country is a bit special, and 'red eye disease' is not a small matter."

"Then don't consider these people for now." Ying nodded and said, "What should those NPC forces do?"

I thought for a while and said, "Rose hopes to take this opportunity to rectify the power structure of China's internal guilds in advance. These NPC forces are troublesome in the middle, but we are not catching chickens with empty hands. Although the process is very hard, it is worth glad that my initial plan has been completed. We are currently the intermediary of the four major forces in China. Although this identity limits our behavior to be too excessive, compared with this defect, the benefits we get are even greater."

Awei suddenly asked, "I don't remember if you don't say it. When it comes to the benefits, I don't understand them very much. Where does this benefit manifest? "Awei knocked on the table and said, "Last time, we threw a big money into it for this balance, and even bought a city ruins, but what about the benefits?"

Rose immediately replied in my place: "The benefits do not have to be practical things. The benefits of this intermediary's status show a relationship and a force. Although we contribute people and money, have you considered it? If other guilds ask the temple or the heavenly court to help us deal with us, what treatment will they receive?"

Hongyue said: "We will be rejected directly, and we will also receive an alert notification. Even if we don't say who is not good for us, we will at least give some hints. Even organizations like the Heavenly Court or the Dark Temple will directly turn the tables and help us deal with this guild for special reasons."

Rose then asked: "If there is a war between these four major forces, we symbolically help the weak maintain the battlefield balance against the strong, what do you think we will get?"

Hongyue then replied: "I will definitely get some benefits during wars. The party who gets help will also give us some benefits. The party who is beaten will not care about anything after we are the middleman who balances the situation. We will make a 100% sure profit without losing."

Rose asked again: "If we do any large-scale action and the interests of these four major forces, what do you think they will react?"

The Red Moon replied: "As long as it is not a damaging friction, the other party at most symbolically protests or points to compensate for it in a formal manner, and will not really fight with us."

Rose stretched out a finger and asked, "The last question. What kind of response would we get if we asked for help from all sides?"

Hongyue said: "I guess I won't care about small things with us. For example, borrowing their city as a teleportation point or temporarily relocating some strategic materials such as war horses is probably easy to say. As long as you give some money afterwards, this will not be a big problem. It would probably be difficult to get the other party to participate in the war directly, but for example, hindering the other party's march and giving some minor interference should help."

Rose looked at Awei: "Do you understand the benefits of our identity now?" Rose looked at Awei's expression and said to Hongyue: "What if the situation happened to another guild just now?"

Hongyue said: "If someone asks for help in dealing with this guild, these four major forces will participate as long as they get enough benefits. If a war occurs in the four major forces and an unrelated guild participates in the war, the party being helped will at most give a few promises in the form of a blank check. The other party will find an excuse to completely erase the guild after the war, and at least it will also give a heavy blow. If other guilds engage in large-scale operations and frictions with the four major forces, they will definitely be beaten hard. If they don't give it, they will definitely be resolved by force. The player organization will definitely not be able to defeat the four major NPC forces. The result is obvious. As for other guilds asking for help from all four parties! Let's not talk about whether they can see it or not. Even if they see it and prompt the request, they will probably ask for help. If they don't give it, they may be retaliated."

"Now you know what different treatment is, right?"

"In this way, we are indeed much better than ordinary guilds!" Awei said excitedly: "So this time we will continue to provide medicines to the NPC forces for free to achieve the purpose of gaining trust?"

Rose shook her head and said, "What Zi Ri did before is enough, and now you don't need to provide it for free, but you have to look at this separately. You should tell Zi Ri yourself."

I nodded and said, "I have finally settled the four NPC forces to the right position recently, but this matter needs further efforts. The members of the Demon World have just left the gourd that sealed them. They are currently in the weak position, and they are also very concerned about the kindness I have saved them. Basically, both of us are in the political honeymoon period now. Therefore, the medicines for the Demon World can be given for free. And this method is a great favor, but in fact, it is not necessary to use much. The monsters are now restoring their strength and cannot come out frequently, so most monsters must not be infected. They really need not many medicines. It is almost enough to give a little symbolically."

"You really know how to calculate!" Ying sighed.

"It's not possible. We are no longer the small guild in the past that only had one city. Since we have already stood at the forefront of the storm, it is impossible to go down again. Either ride the wind and waves and go down, or you will be crushed and never have a day to turn over. This is the law of society. Those who cannot see through can only be honest and be a commoner."

Ying said: "It makes sense, although it is a little cruel. But this is the truth. Speaking of medicine delivery, what should you do if you have the three families outside the demon world?"

"I think I can just send someone to ask first. I guess they don't need this medicine. There are professions among the Taoists who specialize in pharmaceuticals. I guess they have a way to deal with the virus, but we have to do the etiquette. Regardless of whether they are useful or not, just ask. If they really don't have it, I'll send a recipe. If there is a land in the Heavenly Court, we can collect materials and save land, and we will pay for it. The Dark Temple probably also needs to give a little bit. Although the undead are not afraid of viruses, the Dark Temple is not all undead. Demons and monsters will still get sick. This should

You can give some. But we don’t give it for free. The magic technology and alchemy of the Dark Temple are both first-class. I don’t think it’s a problem to blackmail a little bit this time. As for the Temple of Light, the amount of medicine needed there must be very large. We will give it for free and the loss is too great. Moreover, the relationship between the Temple of Light and our previous relationship has always been negative. This time I don’t have to suddenly get too close. We are not that far. My idea is to trade with the Temple of Light, but it doesn’t cost money. We have to barter. With such a large family business in the Temple of Light, good things are absolutely indispensable."

Hongyue said: "There is no big problem with the demon world and the heavenly court. The interests of the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness depend entirely on the effect of the negotiations. I am afraid that Eagle and I are not suitable for this kind of thing, right?"

I nodded and said, "We have always had a good relationship with Dark Temple, and we have some kinship. So I will do it. As long as I clearly make trouble with Arni, I don't believe her and don't let it go. As for the Light Temple, I think it is necessary to have a formal diplomatic meeting. Rose, take Sumi and Shura Ziyi to go together. Don't play any tricks with them, everyone knows it. It doesn't make sense to pretend to be innocent, but it's clear that it's good to open the conditions."

Rose said: "Since I plan to show off directly, I think I can't go there."

"Why?"

"Because I'm not the kind of person who walks in a straight line." Rose looked at Eagle: "Eagle, you take Bailing and Shura Ziyi, right? If there is any change, Bailing will be responsible for making the decision, just be a special envoy to pass the message."

Bai Ling nodded and said, "I'm going with Ying. I don't really have to play tricks anyway, we can do it."

Su Mei said: "Or I'll go together too? The price in the Temple of Light cannot be too harsh, but we don't calculate it if it's too little. I think I'd better make a trade-off."

"Okay. You won't attract attention anyway." I nodded and said, "Okay. The use of medicines is decided so. I believe that it will usher in a new era for us in the future, but we may be busy these days."

Rose continued my words and said, "Then let's discuss the second question. The Dark Temple wants us to rebuild Aisinger. What do you think?"

"I have some idea about this," Su Mei said: "Since the Dark Temple provides all the materials and manpower, don't you think we can make Aisinger deeper and bigger?"

"How big do you want to build?"

Su Mei took out a large roll of paper from her own phoenix dragon space and handed it to me: "Open and take a look."

I quickly threw the scroll on the table and expanded it. After the scroll was unfolded, it was as wide and long as our conference table. Our table was not the small conference table in ordinary companies. This table was specially made, with an area of ​​not ordinary large, and you can play badminton on the table. Now this scroll actually covers the table.

"Damn! What is this?" Awei was completely stunned when he looked at the drawings.

Hongyue looked at the drawings and then looked at Sumei: "Are you going to build an air-raid shelter?"

Sumei smiled and said, "Look at the scale."

"Oh my God!" Hongyue couldn't help but scream. "What are you trying to repair?"

"Secret Base."

"Is this too big?"

"I think it's not too big. After all, our guild staff is no longer as few as before, and we may need a special technical development department in the future. Now Woma sisters and the others are not suitable for squeezing in Gangcheng with the engineering department. I think it's better to separate them specifically."

Su Mei's words were immediately supported by Woma. She had long suggested that she wanted to separate the research department from Gangcheng. This time, she took the opportunity to transform the city.

In fact, the content of this drawing is not complicated. The ground part is completely copied according to the original Aisinger. The changes are all details and have no impact on the overall layout of the city. The key is the dungeon part. The original Aisinger can be launched, but then it requires digging a large foundation for the city and building a chassis. This project is too huge. What's more troublesome is that Aisinger leans against the sea. To dig the foundation, he has to first build a dam and then drain the seawater outside the dam before excavation. After this project volume, it is not a small project.

In the current design, the dungeon has been modified to be in a form that cannot be left on the ground. Just like the dungeons in other cities, it is enough to dig holes in the soil and support them with materials. The project volume is also more affordable. After all, we already have an enclave, Aisinger, and the ground does not have to be so exaggerated.

A key issue in the design of this new Aisinger land is the second dungeon. Hongyue was surprised just now. Sumei plans to make a vertical passage under the dungeon and extend downward for three to five kilometers. If necessary, you can even dig seven kilometers deep. Sumei design takes out a large hole under the channel and designs to create a spherical confined space. Five working layers will be established in this star space, each of which has a working area of ​​about 700,000 square meters. The extra corner areas are used as power settings and service equipment rooms.

In Sumei's design, there should be 6 small balls around this large sphere, each small spherical space is divided into three layers, each layer is about 100,000 square meters. These 6 small balls will be responsible for different functions in the future. Each small ball is connected to the main sphere by a 1-kilometer long channel to form a partial working net. In addition to these 6 balls, a vertical downward channel well is designed directly below the large ball. This well will directly extend down to the lava layer. The channel will be converted into a special equipment area, and the name of this equipment is actually - Thermal energy converter.

"What is this?" I pointed at the thermal energy converter and asked Sumi.

“Isn’t it written on it?”

Hongyue followed me and said, "We understand the word ", but what is this thing? Could it be a geothermal power station?"

Su Meidao: "The utilization of electricity in this game seems to be different from that in reality, so it is impossible to build a power station, but this device is indeed a device that extracts geothermal heat. Its function is to directly convert energy into mechanical energy through the transmission shaft to the graded power chamber near the central ball cabin. This set of equipment was designed by Sister Womar. If you want to know more, you can ask her."

Before we could open our mouths, Woma took a drawing and put it on the table: "This is the design drawing, I think you should be able to see it clearly. The principle of this thing is similar to the heating pipe of a household gas water heater. The circulation grid design increases the heating area to achieve a good heat absorption effect. When the water flow enters from one end, it will flow through the hot heat absorber and then flow out from the other end. However, the heat source here is lava. Once the water flow takes away the heat, the flowing lava will cool into rocks. The rocks actually have poor thermal conductivity, so condensed rocks will affect heat absorption.

In order to cope with this problem, I designed multiple sets of heaters to work in turn. The lava in the mantle itself flows, as long as it does not absorb heat excessively, the lava will be frozen on the heat exchanger. The cooling lava that flows away will slowly heat up to its original temperature. The newly flowing is high-temperature lava, which ensures stable and continuous work. And in case of condensation, we can turn off that group of heat exchangers. After a while, the lava around will naturally melt and wash away the condensed rocks again. At the same time, multiple sets of equipment are also convenient for maintenance, and even if one or two sets are broken, it will not affect the overall use."

I pointed to the power chamber and asked, "What do you want to do when the hot water comes here? We don't open a bathhouse! Besides, the temperature of this water can cook fish, so who dares to use this water to take a bath?"

Woma explained: "This is actually different from what you think. Our plan is like this. First, the water entering the heat exchanger is desalinated sea water, and the salt water will corrode the pipe and it will be troublesome once it crystallizes. When the cold sea water enters this hierarchical power chamber, it will flow into the spiral pipe, which will be entangled with the outlet pipe of the heat exchanger and connect to both ends of the exchanger. The hot water from the heat exchanger has begun to transfer heat to the cold sea water as it flows into the power chamber.

There are two purposes for this. The first is to prevent the pipeline from exploded. It is definitely not possible to enter the exchanger directly without preheating. The second reason is actually to reduce the temperature of the sea water from the heat exchanger is as high as thousands of degrees, and due to pressure problems, although it has passed the boiling point earlier, the sea water remains liquid. Such a water flow is a burden to our equipment. The heat exchange itself is in the magma, and the internal and external pressure is very high, so it is fine, but the pipeline above is not good!”

I plan to say, "Have you tried this device?"

"No." Woma shook his head, "I just planned this device, and it works theoretically."

"Since there is no physical item, I suggest modifying the plan as soon as possible."

"Why?"

"First, seawater desalination is not a small matter. Although we can do it, the cost is too high. Second, the heat exchange capacity of water is still too slow, and the general temperature is still appropriate. Water is not suitable for this high temperature situation."

"How to change it?"

I looked at the drawing below and asked, "What are you going to use for the pipe of the exchanger? The temperature and pressure in this environment cannot be controlled by ordinary materials."

"We don't need any materials." Woma said directly: "I asked Goddess Vina. She said that she could use the magic array to establish a permanent isolation magic barrier. This array uses the magic power in the power pipe and creates a powerful barrier to isolate the inside and outside. In this way, the water we poured is actually flowing against lava, and there is no thermal conductivity problem."

"If that's the case, then make the circulation pipe closed."

"Ah? It's closed? How can I deliver water?"

"We don't need water." I pointed to the drawing and said: "The pipe is directly filled with mercury. The metal has a greater specific heat and has good thermal conductivity. Moreover, mercury will not corrode the steel pipes on the ground and will not carry impurities to form crystallization. Mercury is repeatedly circulated in the closed pipe. After heating in the heat exchanger, it will circulate to the first-stage power chamber and then heat something else to cool itself and then return to the bottom for heating. The pressure problem can be solved by dividing several more stages of the exchange chamber, and it is more cost-effective."

Woma said excitedly: "Zi Ri, did you study mechanical engineering before?"

"No!"

"Then why did you think of secondary heating?"

"This is my air conditioner!" Boomed, and fainted in the room. "Actually, this principle is very simple, you just didn't expect it."

Woma nodded: "I understand, and I will modify the drawings when I go back."

Rose said: "What do you plan to use the heat exchange?"

Wo Ma said: "This is thanks to the undead mage who was found by President Zi Ri."

"You said Lund?"

"Yeah." Womar said: "It's that guy. Last time he accidentally mentioned that he had thought about using the high temperature of the lava in the crater to convert it into magic energy for the puppet to use, but because of insufficient funds, he stayed in the fantasy stage and did not dare to experiment. After joining us, this guy spent money like flowing water and dared to do anything. Some time ago, he really successfully experimented with a set of devices, which can absorb heat energy and convert it into magic energy and directly input it into the city power pipeline. In other words, we can use this thing to free the city power core as backup power or specifically provide it to flying cities like Aisinger that cannot use geothermal heat. In short, it can save a lot of energy, and it will be much more convenient to recharge energy for the red-patterned magic crystal in the future. We can also develop some defense facilities for the extra heat energy, such as building a moat. When the enemy wants to attack, we boil the river water and let them jump down and turn them into boiling people."
