Chapter 281: Building the Skull Harbor

Not everyone is as calculating as Kane and always puts a lot of effort into pre-preparation.

Snake father Igo is the kind of 'hot progressive' who looks the same, starts the project first, and then uses it to attract attention, attract sponsorship, attract investment, and finally make the project a success.

In addition, the super-large sadhana has the characteristics of being difficult to open and even more difficult to collect.

As a result, Iago's follow-up was weak, and the more he progressed to the closing period, the more he felt that he couldn't hold on.

As a result, the curtain was only pushed 20 kilometres north of Iceland throughout March.

This is definitely a turtle speed, because the closer you get to the pole, the smaller the ring area becomes, and theoretically it should be pushed faster and faster. Even if there is a problem similar to a drawstring and pocket pleats squeezed together, it is laborious to close completely, it should not be so slow.

Igo was already anxious to keep up with the ants on the hot pot, and the consumption was astronomical at the end of the day every night. For every additional day consumed, the final income will be thinned.

It's just that the difficulty of operation is greater than he expected, and the manpower is not as easy to make up as he imagined, like the Key Society, which thought it was nine out of ten, refused to cooperate this time, and the people of the Key Club said that they were not short of projects, and they were not interested in the hell of the other world.

In this context, Sutton's guy sat on the ground and offered to say that he had fellow gods to participate in, but the asking price was simply a robbery.

Igo did not agree, preferring to leave a sunny place in the North and South Poles at the end of the day rather than accept extortion. This is its big project, and it has put a lot of effort into it, how can it let others reap the most benefits?

For Kane, the past month has been very fulfilling, or rather, very tiring. In many cases, fulfillment is actually a compliment to fatigue.

Farming, farming again, is different from the medieval Warhammer world, and it is also different from the dark HP world, this time there is no swarm, only robots.

The army of pure machines has a fatal shortcoming, that is, the force is too low, and it is easy to be enslaved by unreasonable extraordinary forces.

Leader-level and commander-level AI like 'Skynet' and 'Red Queen' will be controlled, and the mechanical army will immediately become a rebellion.

Even if you don't use this decapitation technique, the supernatural power can interfere with the operation of the intelligent core, just like the drone swarm in {Star Trek: Beyond the Stars}, a song that pulls the wind, and wherever it passes, the mechanical army is in chaos and disappears.

But if there is the blessing of divine power, you can use unreasonable to fight unreasonable, and make up for shortcomings.

Therefore, in the dark HP world, he didn't foresee that he would turn on the road to godhood, but farming in this world would be too lo if he didn't take this advantage into account.

Another interesting part of farming in this world is that among the human black technologies in this world, there is the category of mechanical computers. And it has been developed to the extent that the mimic spider robot is used in actual work.

This is equivalent to paving the way for the application of intelligent robots before silicon chips and integrated circuits.

As for petroleum, an important raw material for chemical industry, coal tar can be replaced to a certain extent.

For other resources, you can try to mine them from the sea.

In general, in this world, he has the basic conditions for low-key farming, decades of high-speed development, and then crushing and pushing.

This kind of farming without the harassment of dogs, Kane can actually adapt to it. He can endure loneliness, and he doesn't need to be a real green lantern ancient Buddha, he can occasionally pretend to play steampunk and apocalyptic survival.

Now that the dungeon has been decided, there is no need to face the Deep Winter City, but convenience is the highest criterion.

As a result, the underground industrial base, which Kane named 'under the mountain', chose to be built between Port Hope and the iron ore mining area.

This is because he needs to obtain various resources from the ocean more than coal.

What's more, with 'under the mountain', there is no shortage of skull harbor.

The stalks of Yamashita and Skull Harbor are both from the Deep Water City of the Faeron Continent of the Torrell World of the DND Universe.

The Skull Harbor is a remarkable distribution center for Waterdeep, with its main body in a coastal cavern, using a lifting device to reach the depths of the subterranean underground, where smugglers can trade with creatures of the Shadows, such as Drow Elves, Grey Dwarves, and more.

And 'down the mountain' is a dungeon built by Hylaste Blackrobe. Helast originally took his seven apprentices to build the Mage Tower as a shelter under the mountains outside of Waterdeep.

Later, using summons, he excavated a vast storage room beneath the Mage's Tower, and inadvertently excavated the remains of the dungeon of the ancient dwarven tribe of Merlegan.

Hylaster wiped out the drow elves that inhabited it, and built a large, labyrinthine area based on the dungeon, where countless explorers over the years searched for the legendary treasure, leaving their possessions and lives as part of the legendary treasure.

Kane wanted to build an underground harbor with an entrance and exit underwater, as well as a huge dungeon, so he thought of Skull Harbor and the mountain down.

After more than a month of hard work, the infrastructure has been successfully completed, and there are tunnels leading to the iron ore area, coal fields, ports, and Deep Winter City in Yamashita City.

The first phase of the system has also begun.

The reason why it was so fast was with the help of the facilities of Deepwinter City, as well as the technological power of this world.

He first repaired the energy tower, used steam power, and restored production in the steel mill and manufacturing plant, and then produced the robots of this world, because he harvested enough steam cores on the way north, so he could mass-produce robots.

These robots are some of the best coolies of our time, and they work with brain puppets with great efficiency.

As for the brain puppets, those 20 handsome men and women are definitely not enough, but there are enough dead people in Deep Winter City, and the temperature below zero is always good to preserve the integrity of the corpses.

In order to quickly put into production, Kane didn't care about that little bit of supernatural power, so hundreds of brain puppets were produced, which was also the reason why he felt tired. After all, there is a limit to multitasking, not to mention that he is only an incarnation, not an ontology.

The initial stage is not poor and white, which saves a lot of time, plus there is an iron pillar as a panacea equipment, and the construction of the production system is faster and faster.

By the time the first stage of production began, there was no need for those steam-powered robots. Kane has designed and manufactured more specialized, raw material mining and rough processing, smelting and manufacturing, finishing and system soundness and scale expansion, which is almost a complete set.

In terms of energy, thermal power generation is used, some of which are from the StarCraft universe in the 26th century, focusing on full combustion and efficient use of firepower, with almost no smoke and waste heat generated, and the efficiency is several times higher than that of the thermal power plants of the 21st century in the origin world.

Therefore, thermal power is not necessarily low-end, the technology is insufficient, the efficiency is low, and nuclear power may not be more cost-effective than thermal power, after all, in the earth and all planets modeled after the earth, coal reserves and nuclear fuel reserves are far from the same level.

After a large number of steam-powered robots were liberated, Kane naturally used them to build Deepwinter.

He was very dissatisfied with the original plan. It's basically demolished and rebuilt. And the demolition is very thorough.

Tens of millions of years of snow have formed an ice sheet inside the crater, which is more than 100 meters thick.

Kane simply ordered the chiseling and the establishment of a facility directly on the ground.

The Magic Transformation Portal, which still looks very steampunk, has a somewhat different style from the past, and in Kane's words: it has become more riveting.

The so-called multi-riveting steamed steel, more is more turrets, big is good, more is beautiful, hundreds of millions of turrets, hundreds of millions of glory.

Riveting is rivet connection, car, pliers, riveting, electricity, welding, early industry, these five types of work are familiar to people. The rivet process is very widely used like the carpenter's tenon in ancient times, but the tenon corresponds to the wood, and the rivet corresponds to the steel, which complements fire welding and electric welding.

Steaming, that is, steam power, external combustion engine, technology in place, can also be very sharp.

Human science and technology tree plus point, is very affected by the environment, like oil, it can be used as fuel, large reserves, relatively easy to exploit, cost-effective, so it is more competitive equipment with it as fuel, the technology tree is so pointed to the internal combustion engine, and then deepened step by step.

However, in this world, coal reserves are huge, oil and gas are relatively limited, and the Middle East is rich in oil resources, while other regions are relatively poor.

Coal-fired equipment is more competitive. Of course, steampunk has a reason for transcendent involvement, otherwise fuel enrichment or oiling will be inevitable, after all, crowded cities can't tolerate stupid and crude coal-burning vehicles.

But if fuel processing and so on enter a new stage ahead of schedule, the situation will change again. Crude oil can be refined, but why can't coal?

Rigid, refers to rigid suspension, it is cheap, low technical difficulty, labor-saving, more suitable for assembly line batch maintenance than other methods, the disadvantage is that the vibration is large, precision strike is not easy to do.

But we're an AI faction, and multi-turret is just playing with fire coverage and saturation strikes, is accuracy almost a thing?

As soon as the curtain of war opened, 100,000 artillery pieces ploughed the ground for the enemy, and then the sea of tanks and drones pressed up.

It is precisely because of this that it is very different from the kind of "round metallic smell" formed by the arrangement of large pipes, small pipes, and small pipes and organs in this world, and then turning around various arcs, which are as complex as circuits and make people feel unclear, supplemented by various round and elliptical cylinders.

Kane's steampunk style is angular, and it doesn't need the arcs to reflect the old, nor the messy and ambiguous, unrepeatable garbage patchwork to highlight the testing machine.

Standards, precision, rules, order, this is what Kane wants to express.

In a way, it's not punk at all.

Because punk itself represents subversion, breaking the confinement of stereotypes and old traditions, which is the spirit of punk.

And the patchwork aesthetic is also an important part of steampunk.

Also, nostalgia is also at the heart of steampunk.

Therefore, the overall style should highlight the old, highlight the uniqueness that cannot be replicated, and the strange alternative beyond imagination, even if it is ugly, it must be ugly and cute, so it is necessary to use a lot of rounded arcs, rather than making people feel sharp edges and corners, such as Howl's moving castle, such as the Weasleys' Burrow.

If analyzed in this way, Kane's game is not actually steampunk, but a steam iron curtain.

From the perspective of life enlightenment, the shaping of the three views, as well as past experiences, current status and self-positioning in life, Kane may never be the person who can completely orient himself, for him, it is too prodigal, too second, too nonsensical. Especially the demeanor of risking his life for the sake of flying waves, he really can't come.

Of course, while his self-righteous steampunk is actually the Iron Curtain of Steam, none of this hurts, as long as he is happy. Anyway, he is now like the kind of lonely child who can play with a set of Lego bricks for a day with great interest, and also plays a role that he doesn't understand with his own dubbing, without outsiders pointing at him, and he doesn't feel lonely.

Some people will think, ah, this baby is so pitiful, this is a disease, it has to be cured.

But Kane thought it was okay. When life is bizarre and long, who can accompany you through the whole journey?

He is too lazy to introduce himself, too lazy to tell others about the bits and pieces of his life to find resonance, too lazy to let others know him to get closer to him, and even, his past is so many and bizarre that he feels that he can't talk about.

His earliest parents and relatives are gone, and many people he knows have left him in their own ways, and he feels that his heart is like a canvas that has been graffiti repeatedly, with too many color patterns overlapping, and finally it has become black, inclusive, deep, and incomprehensible black.

Of course, no one needs to understand, no one is no longer his spiritual support, no matter whether the road ahead is lonely or lively, he can move forward firmly, a little bit of such and such a small problem, is it a big deal?
