Chapter 2591, unexpected
A week later, John Thrall's feedback was completely beyond Luo Ji's expectations. The history of their dwarf race had been basically broken long before Luo Ji annexed his dwarf civilization.
Ultimately, it's because most players don't pay much attention to this aspect.
It seems pointless to dwell on this issue now.
After adjusting his mentality, Luo Ji gave an order to the engineering team to send all the parts they dug up later to the Ordnance Research Department to see if Ye Xuan and the others could develop anything.
As for Luo Ji himself, his attention naturally shifted back to development.
In these years, a lot of things have happened to the civilizations of all worlds.
One of the more worth mentioning is probably the climate...
I don’t know if it’s because of the influence of Kyushu Cauldron’s ‘good weather’ effect. In the past few years, in the bitterly cold land, after winter, although it still snows heavily every year, it no longer snows like it used to.
It's getting to the point of a blizzard.
This allows the Winter Province, which has to shut down due to snowstorms every winter, to unexpectedly be able to continue to maintain part of its productivity.
After Luo Ji confirmed the news, his mood was complicated.
From the perspective of territorial development, it would definitely be a good thing not to have blizzards every year, or even to have no blizzards at all.
After all, once a blizzard blows, compared with other provinces, the Winter Province loses a quarter of its development time every year, and its overall development obviously lags behind other provinces.
But on the other hand, the snowstorm also brought benefits to the Winter Province.
That is a powerful natural barrier.
In that kind of blizzard weather, if an enemy invades, the armed helicopters will not be able to take off, other troops will also be affected, and even some equipment that has not been treated with ultra-low temperature resistance will be scrapped.
Therefore, the blizzard weather in the bitter cold land has always been a double-edged sword for Luo Ji.
It is beneficial to the defense of the Winter Province in winter, but not conducive to its development in normal times.
But think about it from another perspective. Nowadays, gold-level players are becoming more and more powerful, and the impact of weather on them is becoming smaller and smaller.
Trading the snowstorm in exchange for winter development time for the Winter Province seems to be a good deal.
In addition, the same is true for coastal cities. Although there are occasional heavy rains, the probability of severe typhoons and super typhoons has dropped significantly compared with the past.
This made Luo Ji clearly realize that it was the Kyushu Cauldron that was working! Overall, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
Then the seasons changed and time passed quietly. Luo Ji invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the construction of the volcano power station, which was finally officially completed in the autumn of this year.
Due to the special environment of the volcanic area, the engineering team did not dare to make too big moves during construction and could only proceed cautiously and slowly. Therefore, it also affected efficiency to a certain extent and took nearly five years.
It takes time to be considered complete.
The volcano power station was an important step for Luo Ji to obtain "renewable energy". After completion, Luo Ji was naturally present at the site in person.
In fact, as early as half a month ago, an entire volcano power station had already begun operation.
After all, we want to ensure the safety and stability of this power station. It is impossible to wait until Luo Ji arrives before officially starting operation. What if danger occurs by then?
Therefore, before Luo Ji arrived at the scene, it was certain that the project had been successful.
After arriving at the place, the first thing Luo Ji did was to check the panel of the volcano power station with his fingertips.
With a simple movement, a virtual interface suddenly unfolded in front of Luo Ji's eyes.
Name: Furnace Power Station
Type: Architecture
Introduction: It was originally a "volcano power station" unique to the dwarves, but it was changed due to the fact that it was accidentally built in the area of the "Furnace Volcano", a five-star natural wonder of the dwarf civilization, and drew energy from the Melting Volcano.
Effect: The thermal energy conversion efficiency is increased by 30%, the power generation efficiency is increased by 30%, and the probability of volcanic eruption in the area is reduced by 30%.
The current situation was something Luo Ji never expected.
Because according to the previous project description of the ‘Volcano Power Station’, for a level 1 volcano power station, the gain amplitude of these three gain BUFFs should be 15%.
But now, this effect has doubled to 30%.
Needless to say, this is obviously due to the bonus of the ‘Furnace Volcano’, a five-star natural wonder of the dwarf civilization.
This situation was truly something Luo Ji had not expected before.
The special buildings of the dwarf civilization collided with the special natural wonders of the dwarf civilization, and actually mutated!
In any case, this is definitely a good thing for Luo Ji.
Not only does it reduce the chance of volcanic eruptions, but it also improves power generation efficiency.
Under this premise, and considering the "good weather" buff of his Jiuzhou Cauldron, with the two buffs working together, the chance of this furnace volcano erupting again can be said to be very low.
There was no grand opening ceremony, and no reporters were present, because at present, the fact that the volcano, oh no, it should be the furnace power station has been built, is still a secret.
In the short term, Luo Ji did not plan to publicize it, but planned to conduct an observation period of six months to one year on the grounds of "final adjustment".
After thoroughly confirming that the furnace power station can operate stably, it will be made public.
After all, when he first said that he would build a power station on the volcano, it caused a lot of public opinion.
Therefore, in order to avoid subsequent troubles, it is better to be cautious.
After that, Luo Ji, led by the director of the power station, briefly visited the power station and then left.
In the coming year, Luo Ji will undoubtedly focus on the operation of this furnace power station.
After a year of observation, he found that the power supply of the entire furnace power station far exceeded his imagination.
Not only the small towns and markets in the volcanic area, the power supply efficiency of the entire furnace power station can actually supply power to a quarter of the dwarf province at the same time!
You know, the Dwarf Province is a large industrial province, so the daily electricity consumption is very high.
Even from the perspective of the electricity consumption of the entire civilization, the Dwarf Province is always in the top two in total electricity consumption, either first or second, and competing with them for the first place is undoubtedly the Goblin Province.
Under this premise, the furnace power station can provide power to nearly a quarter of the cities in the dwarf province. The overall efficiency is simply amazing.
Moreover, the current 'Volcano Power Station' project is only at level one. As it goes up, the bonus will become greater and the power supply capacity will definitely become stronger.
All I can say is that it is truly a black technology of the dwarven civilization.
With the establishment of this power station, the resources required for thermal power generation every year by the civilization of all worlds should be reduced by a considerable amount. At the same time, in the long run, the value is immeasurable.
