The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 5: Gemstone veins in the Principality of Winter
Annan gave the address of "Salvatore's Secret Shop" to the players, largely to take care of this fool.
Although Senior Valtore is watching, at least he won’t be too stupid...
Essentially, their relationship is like that of a college boys' dormitory - they can be said to be each other's father and son.
They are all worried about the big fool (in their own opinion) opposite, trying to find a way to feed him something to avoid accidentally feeding him to death.
Not long after Annan returned to the cold winter, when Dmitri was done with the stickiness... he sent his eldest brother out without mercy and asked him to use the "Salvatore Piece Gem Detector" to go out to search for minerals. .
If that gemstone vein can be found, the economic situation in the Principality of Winter can be greatly alleviated.
Although we must pay attention to infrastructure.
But the winter side is divided into areas one by one by the small barriers that come with the city. It can be said that it is difficult to repair roads.
If a group of people are recruited to start building roads, the following may happen:
Ah, okay, we will start building the road today.
After practicing for less than half a month, I reached the end of the small barrier.
What to do?
It's better to stop now.
I have been waiting for the last few years, ten years and decades. After the winter is over, let my son continue to repair...
...Otherwise, what else can we do?
After all, it is impossible for workers without protection to work in a snowstorm where even their field of vision is limited.
That is not a question of human rights, it is a question of whether you can come back alive after leaving the small barrier...
Only werewolves with rough skin, thick flesh and thick fur to keep them warm can survive in that environment. With the clothing technology of this era, clothing that could allow a person to work in a snowstorm without hypothermia simply did not exist.
Even extraordinary beings might freeze to death in that environment.
In this regard, Annan feels that the players' comments are very accurate - they call the Great Barrier of Winter "the underlying logic at the level of the immune system."
What should we do in the face of the cursed gray fog eroding from outside?
——How about rolling up the extremely cold, never-ending blizzard and blowing away all the gray mist. After all, this gray fog is not an illusory, unstoppable thing, but a material curse, which is roughly equivalent to a special haze that cannot be filtered.
It hangs in the air and can be blown away by the wind or blocked by walls. It doesn't even go below the surface of the ocean.
Under the blizzard, these fogs will be dissolved, frozen, and then thrown away.
It is true that the gray fog outside can't come in, but the people inside are freezing to death, and even frozen creatures will turn into frost beasts and wander like ghosts in the snowfield.
It's probably like "one of you and I will die today".
Because of this, it is basically impossible for the investment from Hui Yao IV to be used for road construction.
But if the gem vein is real, then Maria can definitely set up a small barrier locally.
The so-called small winter barrier is essentially a permanent constant temperature barrier.
The constant temperature barrier is not difficult to arrange. Salvatore even installed a constant temperature barrier in the basement of the Frozen Water Port. Even Noah's royal capital had a special agricultural department that used constant temperature barriers to cultivate greenhouse crops for the royal family.
The constant temperature barrier with the characteristics of winter only needs to add a shell on the outside to ensure that the generated temperature does not escape.
In principle it is not difficult. Just set up a semi-automatic device called a "Large Barrier Generator".
But it's just like the constant temperature barrier Salvatore installed in the basement.
If you want to flood the entire city with temperature, then it will be very hot around the center of the constant temperature barrier. And it will waste a lot of energy.
In order to prevent this situation, the ceremony needs to be complicated.
Let the temperature be evenly distributed throughout the city.
The solution on Earth is heating pipes.
In the dead of winter, the Storm Tower has constructed a complex constant temperature system.
Annan calls it a "cloud constant temperature system."
One is because it is really in the clouds - the one used to calculate and maintain this constant temperature barrier is the Storm Tower floating in the sky.
Another reason is because different cities have to "download" the ceremony directly from the cloud.
As long as a few wizards are organized, a hollow metal tower that is only fifteen meters high, like a broadcast tower, is installed locally, and a "large barrier generator" is arranged inside.
Then use this tower to link its ritual system to the Tower of Storms. The Storm Tower can then be used to provide nearly constant energy for thermostatic rituals throughout the city.
The Storm Tower hanging upside down in the center of the big barrier will map the constant temperature spell to the outer shell of the "barrier", and a super large constant temperature barrier will be arranged on the shell to ensure that every corner of the city The temperatures felt are about the same - and the energy is naturally all provided by the Storm Tower, the "strongest wind generator".
In other words, even if a spy comes to steal the master, he will never be able to learn this magical, central air-conditioning-level urban heating.
The constant temperature barrier is not inside the city at all, but outside.
That’s why in every city, there is no ritual tower that can support such complex rituals.
As long as each city continues to provide simple magical materials as fuel for the "large barrier generator", it can maintain this "constant temperature barrier" that would otherwise consume very high energy.
In order to save the energy of the Storm Tower, it is naturally impossible to let this kind of barrier spread throughout the winter. Although the Storm Tower has a lot of energy, it is not unlimited after all... and it also needs to reserve part of it to contain various natural disasters.
What can be protected are various residential areas.
But if the existence of that gemstone vein is really confirmed, it is not impossible to directly build a "new city".
Just build it directly around the mineral vein and insert a new barrier. Building a city from scratch can consume a lot of labor and create a lot of jobs. Afterwards, the continuous production of gems can allow Winter to have new specialties.
In this world, 90% of gems are produced on Diamond Island.
But it's just an island. How many gems can it produce?
This thing won't be worthless just because it's too much - it will definitely depreciate ~IndoMTL.com~ but it is useful after all. Because many rituals require the use of natural gems that have been stored in the earth's veins for a long time.
Dmitri did not keep Annan waiting long.
Not long after the holy day of May, Annan watched the live broadcast of Kafni's enthronement ceremony remotely with the eyes of players.
Not even a week had passed before Dmitri came back in a hurry and brought good news.
——Gem veins are real.
And it is a large and rich crystal pegmatite deposit, and the quality is quite good! The reserves detected so far alone are enough to be mined for at least 150 years - the reserves are even greater than the gem reserves of the Diamond Island!
Sandstone, which is a by-product, can also be regarded as a high-quality stone with considerable uses. Whether it is exported or used in winter infrastructure, it is completely acceptable.
It can even be used to build cities in situ.
Annan can even imagine that if the news is announced now, winter may even usher in a wave of population return.
In winter, not only is there no population loss, but a large number of winter people return - this will undoubtedly be a miracle!
Annan does not intend to give all the profits to the Winter family.
That would be too greedy, and would likely encounter considerable resistance.
——Annan plans to name it "Sal Mine" to commemorate the magical mirror provided by Salvatore.
