Chapter 384 Chapter 380 Four Money Brought by a Strong Wind

There is a magnetite mine here that really surprised Mo Bei, and there is no shortage of copper mines in the mining area. With these two things, the demonic wind in the sky can be converted into electrical energy, and then an electric furnace can be made!
If it can be realized, their planning process may be accelerated many times!
After settling down in the smelter, he explained the general principle of the generator to Perona.Hearing that this would save the gem, Perona thought it was definitely the greatest idea she had heard so far.

The principle of generators and electric heating furnaces is actually very simple. The biggest technical difficulty is probably the copper wires used for power generation and the heating wires in the furnace.

Following Conrad's order, some artisans were immediately dispatched from the smelter to start researching the production of copper wire.

Mo Bei only gave them a general idea, which is to gradually draw the copper strips into filaments after heating, so as to ensure uniform thickness without breaking.

The craftsmen tried for two days to cast a suitable mold and figured out the best stretching temperature.Pass the softened copper strip gradually through the mold with smaller and smaller holes, and finally pull out the copper wire that satisfies Mo Bei.

Another day later, a windmill was erected on top of the smelter's wall.

The wind blades made of three death beetle elytra turned into afterimages in the howling wind, driven by a belt, the movement wound with copper wire was driven at three times the speed, and rotated stably in the center of a circle of magnets.

Thousands of copper wires continuously and at high speed cut the magnetic field of the magnet, like hundreds of rivers converging into the sea, converging the current to the copper cables connected to the brushes.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Mo Bei held a copper cable in each hand, stepped on the lightning to resist the halo, and it was able to have an effect on this kind of electric shock.

The electric current was repelled by the power of the halo, spreading and jumping along the armor and hair tips, crackling, but this guy was still laughing in the dense arc, looking like a mad scientist who used himself for electric shock experiments .

The group of friends watching from the side were shocked and speechless, not because Mo Bei was safe and sound under this kind of electric shock, but because this device can really generate electric energy driven by the wind as he said.

As mages, Ned and Perona received a particularly strong inner impact, and they could converge without the guidance of spiritual power or magic circle. .No, it is to generate such a huge amount of electrical energy out of thin air, this guy Mo Bei. .An absolute heresy! !
Power generation requires metals with weak resistance, such as silver and copper. There may be better choices in this world. Mo Bei really wanted to try the metals God found in the treasure house before, but they were too expensive. After all, such things are To be mass-produced.

Next, when it is necessary to convert electrical energy into heat energy, it is just the opposite, and a metal with high resistance, high melting point, and strong oxidation resistance is required.

An ideal heating wire should be an alloy containing nickel, chromium, aluminum, etc., but the smelting of such alloys is beyond the scope of Mobei's knowledge, so it can only be found from the existing metals in this smelter.

The craftsmen tried metals with high melting points one by one. After the brushes were burnt out more than a dozen times, they finally determined a natural green-gold metal called ice iron, which basically met the requirements for making heating wires.

The longer and thinner the metal wire, the greater the resistance generated, but considering the tolerance during heating, the heating wire in the furnace cannot be made too thin, and this high melting point metal wants to be like copper. It is also extremely difficult to process it into filaments under such conditions.

Circles of heating wires made of forged ice iron were placed in the furnace. After the electricity was turned on, it began to emit light and heat. After a quarter of an hour, the temperature inside the semi-closed furnace finally rose to a terrible level, as bright as the sky above the desert. The sun is hard to look directly at.

After five or six days of hard work, the world's first electric melting furnace was finally built. The craftsmen listened to the humming of the wind blades outside, and their faces looked a little dull under the light inside the furnace.

It can be smelted without fuel or gems, and the heat supply is very stable, because the howling winds of the Gale Lands never stop.

The ore that has been ground and screened is slowly changing in the crucible. In the past, this process cost money every second, and some ores need to be calcined for a long time, which makes people anxious.

Now the expressions on the faces of the craftsmen are both excited and enjoying, as if they are watching a hot dance in a special tavern, and it is still free.

"grown ups."

The captains of the family guards who had gone back to Caltim City to get the gems approached Mo Bei and whispered:
"The families of these craftsmen have moved to the inner city in the past two days. I will have a good talk with them later to ensure that this smelting technology will not be leaked."

Hearing this, Mo Bei's eyes were fixed, and he looked at the dozen or so craftsmen who didn't know about it for the time being, and looked at the furnace with excitement, and only replied:
"Be kind."

"Don't worry, my lord, those who are useful to the family will not be treated badly." The captain of the guard promised.

These guards will be entrusted with the task of transporting gems, and they are obviously the group of people Conrad trusts the most, and the current attitude of being completely obedient to Mo Bei and others is also following Conrad's meaning.

But it was not Mo Bei's order to move the families of these craftsmen to the inner city, but these people acted independently. If they can be treated kindly, it is also in line with Mo Bei's ideas.

Confidentiality is also a must, and he plans to collect electricity bills to make a fortune from the Virgil family and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry!
This is called money is blown by the wind!
For the next period of time, one after another wind turbines could be seen going up one after another in the vast smelting plant every day. People who didn't know it would only find it novel, but as one by one gemstone energy-gathering furnaces were destroyed It was transformed into an electric furnace, and the news inevitably reached the ears of the other two families.

This was like a bolt from the blue on the heads of Virgil and those wealthy businessmen, but the dozen or so craftsmen who mastered the technology and every facility were under strict protection and monitoring. No matter what, they used spies to investigate Stealing couldn't do what they wanted, so they could only come to the door one after another, begging to see Conrad.

Mo Bei's plan to collect electricity bills went very smoothly, because he asked for a price that was not bad, and it only cost [-]% of the gem smelting consumption, and the two families couldn't refuse no matter how unwilling they were.

This kind of payment is actually no different from being an enemy, but if you don't accept it, the gap will only widen, because Conrad's smelter doesn't need to consume gems at all.

What makes the two even more suffocating is that copper ingots and ice iron have been purchased by the Conrad family in large quantities a few days ago, and they have already paid a large sum of money when laying copper cables and renovating the furnace.

Occasionally, Mo Bei would see the other two windmills set up in the same direction as the gourd, and when he looked through the binoculars, he burst out laughing.

Even if the copper cables are directly tied to the posts of ordinary windmills, it is impossible to receive electricity. .Unless it thunders. . .

Um. .There are also arrays arranged under the windmill. .You still lack some imagination. .

As gold coins and various equivalent goods continued to flow into Mo Bei's inventory, the nooses around the necks of the two families were slowly tightened.

What he wants to do is not just to make money.
