The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 962

[Chapter 5 Gem Mines of Winter Principality]

Annan handed over the address of “Salvatore’s Secret Shop” to the players, largely to take care of this big fool.

Although Vatore-senpai is watching, at least he won’t be too stupid…

In essence, the relationship between them is like a college boys’ dormitory – it can be said that they are each other’s father and son.

They are all worrying about the big fool opposite (thinks themselves), trying to find a way to feed something so as not to accidentally die.

Shortly after Annan returned to the winter, when Dmitri’s side was all sticky… he ruthlessly sent his elder brother out and asked him to use the “Salvatore sent gem detector” to go out to find mines.

If the gemstone vein can be found, the economic situation in the Principality of Winter can be alleviated a lot.

Although it is necessary to pay attention to infrastructure.

But the side of Winter is divided into pieces by the small enchantments that come with each city. It can be said that it is difficult to repair roads.

If you hire a group of people to start building the road, it might be like this:

Ah, okay, we’ll start building the road today.

After less than half a month of repairing, I came to the end of the small enchantment.

What to do?

Why don’t you stop first.

Waiting for the last few years, more than ten years, and after the winter has passed, let my son continue to repair it

… Otherwise, what else can I do.

After all, it is impossible for workers without protection to work in blizzards with limited vision.

It’s not a question of whether there are human rights, it’s a question of whether you can come back alive after leaving the small enchantment…

Only the werewolf can survive in that environment with rough skin and thick fur with its own warmth.

With the clothing technology of this era, clothing that allows people to work in a blizzard without losing their temperature simply does not exist.

Even superhumans may freeze to death in that environment.

At this point, Annan feels that the comments of the players are very accurate-they call the Great Barrier of Winter Winter “the underlying logic at the level of the immune system”.

In the face of the cursed gray fog eroding from the outside, what should we do?

——Why don’t you just roll up the extremely cold, never-ending blizzard, and let the gray fog congeal and blow away.

After all, this gray fog is not something illusory and unhindered, but a materialized curse, roughly equivalent to a special kind of fog that cannot be filtered out.

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 sea.

Under the sweep of the blizzard, these gray fogs will be dissolved, frozen, and then thrown out.

It is true that the gray fog outside can’t get in, but the people inside are almost frozen to death, and even the frozen creatures will turn into frost beasts, wandering like ghosts in the snow field.

It’s about the level of “Today’s gray fog and you have to die.”

Because of this, it is basically impossible for the investment from Radiance IV to be used for road construction.

But if the gemstone veins are real, then Maria can completely set up a small enchantment locally.

The so-called Little Winter Barrier is essentially a permanent constant temperature barrier.

The constant temperature barrier is not difficult to arrange, and even Salvatore has arranged the constant temperature barrier in the basement of the frozen water port.

Even in Noah’s capital, there are special agricultural departments that use constant temperature enchantments to cultivate greenhouse crops and supply the royal family.

The constant temperature enchantment characteristic of Winter, just need to add a shell outside to ensure that the generated temperature does not escape.

It is not difficult in principle.

Just lay out a semi-automatic device called the “Large Barrier Generator” and you’re done.

But it was just like the constant temperature barrier that Salvatore had arranged in the basement.

If you want to flood the whole city with temperature, it must be very hot around the center of the constant temperature enchantment.

And it wastes a lot of energy.

To prevent this, it is necessary to complicate the ritual.

Let the temperature be evenly distributed throughout the city.

The solution on earth is heating pipes.

In winter, the Tower of Storms constructs a complex constant temperature system.

Annan calls it a “cloud thermostat”.

One is because it is really in the cloud – the one used to calculate and maintain this constant temperature barrier is the tower of storms floating in the sky.

Another reason is because different cities have to “download” the ceremony directly from the cloud.

Just organize a few wizards, plug in a hollow metal tower like a broadcasting tower, only fifteen meters high, and arrange a “large barrier generator” inside.

Then use this tower to link its ritual system to the Storm Tower.

The Tower of Storms can then be used to provide near-permanent energy to the constant temperature rituals spread throughout the city.

The Tower of Storms suspended upside down in the center of the Great Barrier will map the constant temperature formula to the outer shell of the “barrier”, and arrange a super-large constant temperature barrier on the shell to ensure that every corner of the city feels The temperature is about the same – and the energy is naturally all provided by the “strongest wind turbine” Storm Tower.

That is to say, even if a spy came to steal a teacher, he would not be able to learn this magical, central air-conditioning-level city heating.

The constant temperature barrier is not inside the city at all, but outside.

Therefore, in every city, there is simply no ceremonial tower that can support such complex rituals.

As long as each city continues to provide the “large-scale barrier generator” with simple magic materials as fuel, it can maintain this “constant temperature enchantment” that would consume a lot of energy.

In order to save the energy of the Storm Tower, it is naturally impossible for this kind of enchantment to spread throughout the winter.

Although the energy of the Storm Tower is large, it is not infinite after all… and it also needs to reserve a part to curb various natural disasters.

The ones that can be protected are all kinds of residential areas.

But if the existence of the gemstone vein is really confirmed, it is not impossible to directly establish a “new city”.

It was built directly around the ore vein, and a new enchantment was inserted.

Building a city from scratch can consume a lot of labor and create a lot of jobs, and the steady stream of gems that will be produced afterward will allow Winter to have new specialties.

In this world, 90% of gemstones are produced by the Silmarillion Island.

But that’s just an island, how many gems can it produce?

This thing isn’t worth it because it’s too much — depreciation certainly will, but it’s useful after all.

Because many rituals require the use of natural gemstones that have been in the leylines for a long time.

Dmitry did not make Annan wait long.

Not long after the Holy Day of May, Annan watched the live broadcast of Kaphne’s enthronement ceremony with the eyes of the players.

Not even a week has passed, Dmitri came back in a hurry with good news.

– The gemstone veins are real.

And it was a large, rich crystal pegmatite deposit, and the quality was pretty good!

The reserves detected so far are enough for at least 150 years of mining—the reserves are even more than the gem reserves of the Silmarillion Island!

Sandstone, which is its by-product, can also be regarded as a high-quality stone and has a considerable degree of use.

Whether it is for export or for winter infrastructure, it is completely possible.

It can even be used to build a city in situ.

Annan can even imagine that if the news is announced now, Winter may even usher in a wave of population returning.

In winter, not only did there not be a loss of population, but a large number of winter people returned – this will undoubtedly be a miracle!

Annan did not intend to swallow all the interests of the Winter family.

That’s too greedy, and it’s likely to run into a fair amount of resistance instead.

——Annan is going to name it “Saar’s vein” to commemorate the magical mirror provided by Salvatore.
