Online Game: Island War

According to what Wang Buqiu and others said afterwards, the awakening challenge was still a bit difficult.

But that's it for them. If they are from other players' islands and have no support such as rune constructs and other support, it will be a little more difficult for the soul fusion person to pass.

Of course, after all, there are three opportunities. If you think of more ways and make more preparations, most of them should be able to pass in the end, well, probably!

In the past two days, Lei Jiu was discussing with Qi Wenchuan the issue of speeding up the crystal car.

Thanks to the enthusiasm for infrastructure construction on Huanghuang Island since Lei Jiu, even though the island's current territory has reached an exaggerated level and is about to enter level 9, with a total area exceeding 100 million square kilometers, rail transit has not been left behind.

And if we want to manage such a huge territorial area well, we cannot do without a developed transportation system.

Now, as long as the last dozen or so surrendered islands enter the fusion radius, Huanghuang Island will be promoted to the last level.

After that, even if Huanghuang Island continues to engulf and merge, and its area reaches 1 billion square kilometers, there will no longer be Level 10.

Well... In fact, many islands have not been integrated to increase their area for a long time, especially those that enter the central sea area.

There are no desert islands that can be integrated in the central sea area, and the islands have formed small circles. It is not easy to swallow other islands.

This also leads to the fact that, except for powerful and high-ranking islands such as Eternal Island and Blood-Spilled Ancient Sword Island, it is difficult for the average player's island area to grow after reaching level 7 and exceeding one million square kilometers.

For most island owners, the area of ​​their islands is concentrated between 2 and 6 million square kilometers. Those with an area of ​​more than 6 million are considered the elite among the existing island owners.

As for those who have reached level 8 and have an area of ​​more than 10 million, they are considered big bosses and the core of various small circles.

In view of this, unless Lei Jiu swallows up most of the islands in the central sea area, it will not be easy for Huanghuang Island to reach 1 billion square kilometers.

Of course, this is still far away. At present, Huanghuang Island has not even reached 100 million square kilometers, although it is getting closer.

The land of nearly 100 million square kilometers is too huge. The distance between the two farthest points on the island is more than 10,000 kilometers. With the current maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour, the efficiency is somewhat low.

There is no need to discuss whether to speed up, this is an inevitable trend.

It's just that the speed increase of the crystal car involves many problems, and the two of them discussed how to solve this matter.

The problems mainly focus on two aspects: technology and engineering.

However, thanks to the popularization and development of alchemy technology, Huanghuang Island now has sufficient technical and engineering foundation. Solving these difficulties is not a problem, but it lacks unity and integration from the top.

The transportation system of Huanghuang Island is divided into air transportation, land transportation and water transportation, just like in today's world.

In terms of air transportation, since the miniaturization of spar furnaces led to the advent of high-power and small-volume spar furnace engines, it has developed extremely rapidly.

Because the air density far exceeds that in the real world, the lift provided by the air is greatly enhanced, which is why large air units like dragons can fly.

If it were in the real world, with Crowley's size and wingspan of hundreds or thousands of meters, there would be no way he could fly.

Think about the birds in real life. Which one is not light in body and has more hair and less meat.

Even ancient pterosaurs basically had little meat except for their skeletons.

For a muscle as powerful as a giant dragon to fly, it needs terrifying lift.

Because the lift is strong, compared to reality, the flying machinery here is, well, also called an airplane. Let’s unify the names for convenience.

The load capacity of the aircraft is exaggerated.

As a result, the prospects of the air transport industry have been greatly expanded.

However... the high density of air also means high flight resistance, high energy consumption, and extremely difficult to exceed the speed of sound.

Huanghuang Island has extremely deep energy reserves. Even if the energy consumption is more than ten times higher than reality... Well, it is still a bit painful when the scale of application is large.

In view of the fact that the faster the aircraft cruises, the greater its energy consumption. The cruise speed of aircraft on the island is usually maintained between 400 and 500 kilometers per hour.

At present, Lei Jiu and Qi Wenchuan plan to increase the maximum speed of the crystal car to 300 kilometers per hour at once, which will have a considerable impact on air transportation.

In terms of water transportation, it is divided into two parts: inland water transportation and sea transportation.

Huanghuang Island was developed step by step from a 1 square kilometer pocket island. When integrating the island, Lei Jiu fully considered the terrain issues, coupled with the continuous transformation of the water conservancy department, the direction of the major water systems of Huanghuang Island And the layout is very neat.

It's almost like a man-made canal, basically following the expected route.

This also leads to the fairly orderly distribution of water routes on the island.

Because of its geographical advantages, the island's inland water transportation system is also more convenient and efficient than today.

As for shipping, it is not ocean shipping. In fact, except for Gensokyo Island not far away, Huanghuang Island has no shipping exchanges with other islands.

But soon, shipping routes between the island and the five islands that have been transformed into younger brothers will be established.

Most of the island's sea transportation is completed by bulk cargo transportation between coastal cities around the island.

Regardless of whether it is sea transportation or inland water transportation, since the speed is obviously not comparable to that of land transportation and air transportation, there are relatively few passenger transportation tasks, and most of them are freight tasks.

The final land transportation is divided into two aspects: railway and highway. These are also the two transportation construction systems with the most investment on the island.

Now, these two systems have penetrated into every corner of the island, and their popularity is not comparable to that of air transportation and water transportation systems.

This time, the speed increase of the trains has different standards for freight and passenger transport. The maximum speed is raised to 300 kilometers per hour, which is the passenger train system.

On the freight side, due to various scheduling needs, the speed increase is slightly smaller.

In short, greatly speeding up the crystal car system can accelerate the exchange of personnel and materials between various places, which is conducive to the development of the island. It is an inevitable trend.

Since the speed must be accelerated sooner or later, and the accumulation of basic technology and engineering is sufficient, it is natural to implement it as soon as possible.

In addition to transportation, the modernization process on the island is also in full swing in other aspects.

Because spar power generation technology has matured, the island has already provided electricity to households, and many daily communication and entertainment appliances such as landline telephones and televisions have become popular.

In fact, long before crystal power generation technology matured, mechanical devices that directly used crystals of various elements as energy sources had already appeared and even been popular for a while.

However, because you want to use elemental crystallization, you must use a crystal furnace. Even if it is miniaturized, the size will still take up a lot of space for household use. In addition, the cost of the crystal furnace itself is not low. These things are gradually being used. Later replaced by some electrical appliances.

At present, because the process technology of integrated circuits is not high enough, the technical content of the electrical appliances on the island is similar to that of before the millennium.

However, with the accumulation and breakthrough of technology, it will not be a problem to catch up with the current world in the future.

As for whether he could catch up or overtake him, he didn't know.

The development prospects of communications are much worse than in the current world. Huanghuang Island has tried to launch satellites, but the result is that they cannot leave the atmosphere at all, and contact will be lost immediately after a certain limit.

Without the support of satellites, it would be difficult to solve the problem of signal interference in the relatively complex environmental system on the ground.

Therefore, even if mobile phones appear in the future, it will be difficult to communicate within the entire island, let alone global communication.

Lei Jiu finally discussed some serious matters related to the development of the island. That night, an email from Shen Baiye made him become the hands-off shopkeeper again...
