Chapter 0703 also open a steam engine, laboratory magic
When everyone saw someone driving a steam mining machine, they immediately became excited.
"Wucao, what kind of bullshit is this! A mechanical mining machine has been developed, and we are still relying on humans to dig with hoe after hoe!"
"Yeah, I'm so envious. In the future, most of our resources will definitely come from minerals! With the mining machine, the mining efficiency will be much greater, and the development of the island will be much faster!"
"That little brother of the mining machine upstairs, you can make a price. As long as you are willing to take action, I will take any amount you want!"
"Thank you, I won't sell it! I also want the steam engine brother to make an offer!"
"Since everyone wants this steam engine, I will reluctantly give it up and put it in the group for everyone to bid. The one with the highest price will get it!"
At this time, the person who had driven the steam engine suddenly said he wanted to take action.
He set a minimum price of 100 foundation stones, and the brother who had a mining machine immediately raised the price to a level that ordinary alliances would not buy.
"1,000 cornerstones!"
"Wancao, are you crazy? You raised your head so high all of a sudden!"
"Huh, the bidding rules don't say you can't raise it so high all at once. If you have the foundation, you can still bid!"
"With so much money, our alliance still gave up. After all, we haven't developed anything that can use this steam engine yet. If we buy it, we will probably eat ashes."
"2,000 foundation stones!"
"Is this all crazy? Or do you need a steam engine on hand?"
"No matter what it is, this steam engine is not something we can get involved in anyway, so we can just watch the excitement!"
After half an hour of bidding, the final transaction price for the first steam engine to appear in public was 5,100 cornerstones!
"More than five thousand foundation stones, this must be a big force that can gather so many foundation stones!"
"It's more expensive than the generator the boss took out last night!"
"Speaking of generators, steam engines can be used to generate electricity. The principle of power generation is to move wires in a magnetic field to generate current. Steam engines can continuously move wires!"
Xiao Yi watched them bid and did not participate.
First, because this is just a common steam engine, it is not worth spending so many building blocks to buy.
The second reason is because I don’t have the equipment to use a steam engine.
The most important reason is that Xiao Yi feels that since so many people have developed related equipment, he believes that there will be a large number of steam engines coming out soon, and there is no need for him to grab this advantage.
Just as Xiao Yi thought, an hour after the transaction was completed, the group became lively again.
"Haha, I also created a steam engine manufacturing diagram!"
"Wucao, I feel like the person who just bought the steam engine will suffer a big loss!"
"Yes, the second one appeared in such a short period of time, which means that the probability of opening it has increased. It seems that I also have a chance to open the steam engine!"
Di Lintianxia, who had just asked someone to take a picture of the steam engine in the Yitian group, saw another steam engine manufacturing diagram appear in the group, and slapped the table hard.
Originally, he thought that after the first steam engine appeared, it would take a while before it appeared in large quantities. This was an opportunity for him to accumulate advantages.
He really didn't expect that the second channel would appear so soon.
Qin Qinglong asked: "President, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Utilize the steam engine as soon as possible. Even if the advantage is only a few hours, we must make good use of it!" Di Lintianxia said helplessly.
Not long after the second steam engine exploded in the group, high-level items exploded in the group again.
"What day is it today? I actually opened this thing, [Steam Engine Medium-sized Ship Manufacturing Diagram] (B-level)*1."
"This is amazing. In this environment where the sea is all around, high-end ships are more useful!"
"Previous ships used human power or wind power. With steam engines, ships sailing against the wind will not be too slow!"
Now Xiao Yi felt a little envious. Apart from yachts, the best ship he had was the armored battleship. The power of the armored battleship was driven by high-grade bison.
If it could be replaced by a steam engine, it might be faster.
In fact, what Xiao Yi didn't know was that the speed of a steam ship was also very limited, which was about the same speed as a sailboat when the wind was downwind.
The steam engine is not powerful enough!
Ships powered by steam engines just get rid of their dependence on wind. Xiao Yi's armored battleship has already achieved this!
"Island owner, there are a lot of new things in the supply box today!" An Yue sent a message to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi's heart moved slightly and he replied: "Bring all the new things here for me to see!"
After a while, An Yue came over with a pile of scrolls: "Island Master, they are all here!"
Xiao Yi nodded. After reading it again, he was surprised to find that there were actually two steam engine manufacturing diagrams in it.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yi immediately used the super synthesizer to synthesize these two manufacturing drawings.
Use it at the island monument. Seeing that the raw materials are available, Xiao Yi makes one directly.
Looking at the steam engine in front of him, Xiao Yi said that he couldn't understand it at all. Suddenly, he had an idea and picked up the steam engine directly and walked to the laboratory.
After arriving at the laboratory, Xiao Yi placed the steam engine on the table and said, "Can you do research on this, such as developing its template drawings? It would be better if you can make certain improvements!"
"Of course no problem!" A robot came over and replied.
Hearing the answer from the intelligent robot, Xiao Yi said happily: "Okay, then I'll leave this thing to you, study it carefully!"
"Yes, Master! Do you want to stop the research on smokeless gunpowder?" the robot asked.
"Huh? No, let's get the smokeless gunpowder first and then study this!" Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment and replied.
Smokeless gunpowder is almost being researched, so we can’t give up halfway!
What's more, this steam engine doesn't have anyone who needs it yet, so there's no rush at all!
"I didn't expect that the laboratory can be used in this way!" Xiao Yi secretly thought, "If I discover something good in the future, I can let the laboratory study it first. Then I can have its template, and then I can make it unlimitedly!"
"Island Master, the dwarf country Los is here!"
After Xiao Yi saw this information, he immediately walked to the resort.
"Loss, what brought you here today?" Xiao Yi said happily when he saw Ross in the bar.
"I came here today because I was entrusted by the king and hope to get an accurate answer from you." Los said with a slightly serious face.
Xiao Yi frowned slightly and asked, "What's the answer?"
"That's the exact answer about our purchase of the island, one is the price, and the other is when the transaction will be completed!" Los replied.
