Empires Start with Lords

Chapter 80: : discovery of oil

"Have you heard? Lord Ross has a carriage that doesn't need a horse. I have witnessed its existence with my own eyes. When it runs, it will growl..."

"Nonsense, that's obviously a white dragon that will escape from the sky!"

Ross was walking on the street and heard such talking voices everywhere.

It seems that what happened a few days ago has become a mystery, and it is still a topic of conversation after dinner.

However, this thing is just like rumors. If you don't use the road principle for a day, these guys will be like chicken blood and want to see Ross's steam car at any time.

But Ross felt that the previous version of the steam car was too rudimentary, with no dials, fuel tanks and steering wheels.

That's not even a car. If you want to make a simplified version of the manual control car, you need to build more roads first.

Except for the roads built by Ross himself, the quality will be slightly flat, and other sections of the road are impossible for cars to pass.

Even a steam car with a top speed of no more than thirty-five miles per hour is difficult to drive on such a road.

Therefore, Ross plans to build the first highway around the two cities of Green Forest and Eye of Hope, and then build it all the way to the Shield of Hope, which is 60 kilometers west.

The population of the major cities in Ross has already exceeded 20,000, which means that these five cities have brought the flow of a population of 100,000 to Ross...

If it is traded in automobiles, the trade volume of the internal circulation alone will increase by 40%.

Not to mention, Ross's real purpose in creating a car is to light up the first technology tree with a steam engine.

As the steam engine technology tree continues to light up, a real tin car will be created later, but Ross has a lot of things to invent before that.

After all, in this backward fantasy world, many things are very inconvenient to use.

As long as Ross can copy some items from the previous life, he can get it here and sell it.

For him, it must not be a loss-making business, but Ross has only one purpose at this moment, to build a vehicle that is more convenient and easier to use than a horse-drawn carriage, but also needs to spit out the ability of a steam engine.

Ross wants to convert these cars into large assault vehicles. After all, with the invention of the steam engine, Ross' previous generation assault vehicles have become history.

The gunpowder assault vehicle is not safe and wastes expensive gunpowder. The most important thing is that the cost of a vehicle even exceeds tens of thousands of gold coins.

And Ross's one month's trading volume is enough to manufacture dozens of such assault vehicles, and the production efficiency is even far less than that of some dukes.

But with the steam engine, for Ross, creating a supercar is nothing more than creating a skin outside the steam engine.

The real core is done by a steam engine that can determine combustion or cooling by itself. With Steam Engine No. 1, it is much easier to make such a steam engine.

Ross returned to the castle and began to draw the drawings of the interior of the car, and then took it to the workers to make it.

Ross plans to use three of these cars to concoct a legend of a low, roaring beast of steel, and then personally form a powerful semi-mechanized team to deal with the real enemies, the Truman family and several other vassal families. .

There are more than ten dukes in these families. At present, a duke's army is at least about 50,000, enough for Ross to drink a pot by himself.

On the fifth day, noon.

Ross wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the masterpiece in front of him.

"Finally, a steam car has been completed in a decent manner, and the modification has been completed."

Ross said to himself that there were dozens of intermediate workers standing in the surrounding open space. They took a day to work out the general structure according to Ross's drawings, and then Ross personally welded the hundreds of parts together. .

Ross came to a high-rise building and ordered: "All troops, assemble! Follow me to the cursed land!"

Ten minutes later, an army of 10,000 people had gathered at the gate of Green Forest, and even Mander shivered when he saw the huge number.

Among these armies, the strongest are the holy knights and guardian knights, but the holy knights are sent by the system, and Ross will run out of them.

Fortunately, the holy knights are relatively strong, except for the last battle against the Crimson Demon who sacrificed 30, all the others are in place.

Ross drives a refitted car made of steel. The tires are plated with iron and then sewn together with wooden reels, and he can still run.

However, the top speed is only forty-five miles per hour.

But in Ross's eyes, it's enough. What he wants is a scary effect, and this is learned through the method of the religious church.

First come up with a set of things you can't understand, and then try to justify it to convince you.

Ross spent the past few days teaching Jenny how to drive, and the other one was driven by Mander, who followed Ross to the Blasted Land.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of this kind of car is that it is small and easy to travel.

Driving on the carriageway, the mighty army made all the caravans detour.

But Ross can still use its hard front end, the huge mechanical force will ignore the strength of most beasts~www.wuxiahere.com~ and directly crush it under the wheel!

To put it bluntly, different materials make things completely different.

Ross drove this car, and it took only one day to arrive at the easternmost Duchy of Webb in East Ayr Province, the cursed place next to it.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a familiar figure.

It was Babur who was busy getting the soldiers to extract the soil and transport it to Ross's territory. More than a dozen carriages have been filled one after another.

These were all proposed by Babur himself, and Ross agreed after thinking about it, and he also brought thirty carriages over.

Ross looked at these carriages, but he was driving a steam car that was ahead of an entire era. It was inevitable that he would feel a little emotional.

When Babur saw Ross coming, he happily greeted him and said, "Lord Ross, you are finally here. Your subordinates and I have been waiting for a long time."

After Babur finished flattering, he began to talk about his discoveries these days and everything here.

"You are right, my lord, this is indeed a rich place, but winter is coming soon, and we can feel something in the northernmost mountains here that is causing earthquakes these days..., every day there are black The liquid is sprayed from the soft soil, and sometimes I can't even guess where it is sprayed, and it always sprays our face..."

"Black unknown liquid? Is there a sample?"

Ross asked subconsciously.

Because this thing seems familiar to him.

"Well, that's it, my lord!"

Babur asked a soldier to bring out the two buckets of what he just described and handed them to Ross.

Who knew Ross was taken aback, and An endured his shocked heart and said, "This is oil, the blood of all machines!"
