Chapter 190: Two-Star Resident Card
This light, Zhao Xin is very familiar with, it is the drawing of the resident card, however, on it, the original five-star position, there is one more star. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Before, when the first resident card was drawn, there was also this star, and it was larger, Zhao Xin thought that it was the background, and now, with the first and second levels, obviously, this is the level of the card, the resident card drawn before was level 1, and now it is level 2, and the number of cards is quite large, but this time, it is 54 cards.
After upgrading, not only the card has become level 2, the position of the resident card, will also increase, before it was 2 card slots, now it is 4, which is equivalent to saying that the ability has been greatly improved, before, only able to choose between the archer plus one and other war cards, now, there are 4, in some cases, can be stacked under the premise, control and strength will also be greatly increased.
Zhao Xin has been getting the card system for a long time, there has been a first-level lottery, for this, is already quite familiar, this is a level 2 permanent card, a level 1 permanent card, you can provide a very good resident effect, level 2, what will happen, will it be stronger, perhaps, will it give him more promotion.
Opened 5 cards, except for one useless, the rest, the effect is very good, especially ancient chemistry, not only to help him upgrade the land, further, otherwise, it will take at least a month to be able to upgrade, or under the premise of 10 draws a day, more than 300 kinds of ancient chemical formulas, which also include cement, glass, and other precious chemical formulas, for the future, there is a huge help.
There are 300 common chemical recipes, Zhao Xin just does some chemical experiments every day, so that the number of cards that are missing in the end can be completed directly, and the sooner he has the level 2 cards, the higher his power will increase.
54 choose 3, Zhao Xin also knows, there must be more advanced cards, as for whether there is gold, it's hard to say, after all, the golden card is one ten-thousandth, purple is one thousandth, blue is one hundredth, if you just miss that color, maybe, it's all green and white.
With the hundredfold superposition of the lottery system, you can directly turn the ordinary cards into green, and Zhao Xin's mentality of drawing resident cards is a little relaxed, and there will be no too rare cards on the left and right, so it will be drawn as usual.
The first card, Zhao Xin chose the 11th, purely random selection, the card opened, the color is white, this, he has long been mentally prepared, the drawing of conventional cards, will not be like a special extraction, can be superimposed, directly let the color rise a level, there is a greater chance of drawing advanced cards, less than 10 times the chance, or a fixed number, white is always the most.
Zhao Xin doesn't care, the main resident cards in the future, or a special lottery, stacked once in 10 days, and can be stacked ten times with money, the least drawn, are all green, through 5 cards, especially ancient chemistry, rare purple cards drawn, Zhao Xin really realized the huge gap between cards and cards.
White cards, to put it bluntly, are the most basic, the most ordinary, to the green card is slightly better, the blue card, is among the cards, synonymous with magic, as for the purple card, can not be called magical, each one has the effect of reversing a field, creating a field, as for the golden card, one ten-thousandth of the ordinary draw, superimposed 10 times the thousandth, Zhao Xin doesn't know, can he be lucky to draw such a card, but there is one thing, he deeply understands, I'm afraid it's really an artifact in the game, which can turn everything around and serve as a big killer of hole cards.
Sigh with emotion, white, may not be of much use, Zhao Xin looked at the card carefully, the pattern on the card is a boat, which more or less disappointed Zhao Xin.
He's in Baozhou now, there is river transport, but it's not the point, and he can't go out with it, the card system is very restrictive, only under his command, can enjoy the bonus of cards, this command, either to perform some kind of task, next to him, or in general, in short, can't be too far away from him.
However, the card of the ship is also a key point, whether in the Northern Song Dynasty, or in later generations, the ship is the cheapest mode of transportation, if the bulk of goods are transported by ship, the efficiency will be improved a lot, and the consumption will be reduced a lot.
This is also the Northern Song Dynasty relying on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, opened up a core, next to the canal, even a small county seat, is also full of flowers, leaving the canal, only some state capital center cities, there is relative development, some are not as good as the small county next to the canal.
In the end, this level 2 resident card, in front of Zhao Xin, revealed its full picture, level 2 card speed, is a special card for ships, can cover 500 ships, the speed of all ships under his command is increased by 10%, the chance of encountering wind and waves is reduced by 30%, and the ship has about 15% recovery.
Zhao Xin was slightly surprised, he thought that the white cards were all the kind of archers plus one, increasing the all-round ability by 10%, which is a very concise use, but the ship level 2 card like God Speed has added three functions, it is still a very useful function, and the improvement is not low, which can also be seen from the power of the level 2 card, not only the original proportion has increased, but also a variety of abilities.
For ships, speed increase, is the best aspect, ship speed represents the speed of circulation, but also represents direct benefits, a fleet can use 9 days to complete the voyage, another fleet to use 10 days, comprehensive assessment, all kinds of costs and consumption will be greatly reduced.
However, Zhao Xin attaches more importance to the back, a 10% increase in speed is not much, at most it slightly improves the use of river boats, but the probability of encountering wind and waves is reduced by 30%, which is not a small effect.
Although there are wind and waves in inland river transportation, the wind and waves are smaller, especially when the inland river ships have reached the level of 400 materials, this reduction of wind and waves, mainly for the ocean, in the near sea, on the river, the probability of encountering wind and waves is almost equal to zero, the deeper into the ocean, the higher the wind and waves, which is also the fundamental reason for the high profits of ocean shipping, because of the danger.
As for the third, Zhao Xin didn't understand, and took a look at the detailed explanation, that is, when the overall damage of the ship does not exceed 15%, it has a certain self-healing ability, and this self-healing ability is relatively slow, once it reaches 15%, it may take 5 days to fully recover, that is, it will reach about 3% per day, and at the same time, he will affect maintenance, and when there is maintenance, the efficiency of maintenance will increase accordingly.
The three skills, except for the first one, can be used on rivers and canals, and the others are all maritime skills, and the comprehensive ability is quite good, but there is a very critical premise, and Zhao Xin must be around to be able to use this, which is a bit of a chicken rib.
At the same time there are 500 ships that can be controlled, which is a rather large number.
Zhao Xin keenly grasped the loophole of this card system, it only stated the number of ships, but not the tonnage of ships, you know, the difference between sea ships is very huge.
The ship is different from the infantry, especially the sea ship, the Song Dynasty has been able to make more than 2,000 ships of material, and the tonnage converted into later generations is 650 tons, 500 ships, almost 300,000 tons of estimates, in later generations, this is just an ordinary ocean-going fleet tonnage, not the largest, but in this era, quite terrible.
Tonnage is always the key factor that determines the main items of maritime transportation, when the tonnage rises, it is not necessarily limited to high-value, or high-yield commodities, and it is completely possible to buy and sell bulk commodities, such as copper, which is in short supply in China, and then grain.
In the past, there were almost no things to be transported by sea shipping, the reason is that a ship, which may be thirty or fifty tons, and the cargo capacity of more than 100 tons, transports grain and bulk goods, and there is not much profit at all, only high-quality and light-weight items are the main force of transportation.
These items are not suitable for bulk shipping, because the market capacity is so large, once the scale of shipping is greatly expanded, these products can be sold almost as much as possible, which is the mainstream of ocean transportation.
In the harvest year, the price of rice in the south of the Yangtze River is about one-fifth of that of Kaifeng, and it is much cheaper to buy it on a large scale, but further south, in Southeast Asia, the Indochina Peninsula, where is almost a paradise of food, rich products make here, there is no so-called famine or anything, almost just scatter a seed, you can get a rich harvest.
This alone makes the price of grain here quite cheap, for one or two cargo ships, or even smaller cargo ships, although the purchase of a large number of goods is also several times the income, but it is not their mainstream, this is also before the birth of the steamship, few maritime merchants sell grain, grain is a stable bulk item, especially for the Song Dynasty who is short of grain, under an extremely large number, these grains are basically not sold, if the price is cheap enough, even the imperial court will buy a part.
And this is still a 2000 material ship, under the premise of a huge improvement in steelmaking technology, with a steel keel instead of a wooden keel, to build a ship, which will be a earth-shaking change in the shipbuilding industry.
In the past, the biggest constraint in the shipbuilding industry is the keel, even if there is a splicing keel technology, there is no huge, suitable for shipbuilding materials, any shipyard must be stopped, but the use of steel keel, as long as the steel output comes out, there are enough materials, you can build endlessly, the production speed of the ship will be greatly improved.
The strength and toughness of the steel keel will greatly improve the performance of the whole ship, and the tonnage will also be significantly improved, as long as it is run in for a period of time, it will be 3 times higher than now, about 2000 tons of sea ships, just like Zheng He's large ships, 500 ships are 1 million tons, more than 4 million stones of grain, twice a year is hundreds of millions of stones, which will play a terrible role in stabilizing the whole of China, this is an unlimited business, how many can be sold as much as you want.
