Chapter 5 Differences

Even the best of words cannot hide the fact that this city-state is actually a buffer zone and colony between the two powerful city-states of Parata and Mina, and that Padonia, which only has infantry weapons factories, cannot stop the infiltration of Parata and Mina.

Giacomo, The second chief of this Mina city-state, led the army into the Padonia city-state and immediately took over the southern city area. The pure metal and mechanical style of the city came into view, and Renyu and the others from the modern world were very surprised to see this city made of steel and machinery. The main material of modern cities on Earth was reinforced concrete, but this world's cities were built directly from steel.

Renyu arrived in Padonia twelve days ago, Renyu feels that there is only one word to describe this land, chaos, large and small forces like bandits, they buy guns from the southern arsenal, occupy some settlements, a few Timonium mines, occupied by Peralta and Mina respectively. But it seems that Peralta seems to have a bit of a situation, and the Timonium mine they occupied has been lost.

Since Giacomo's takeover of the city, the industrial city of Padonia began to expand rapidly as thousands of industrial technicians arrived from Mina in zeppelins. The “palace area” is where these high-level workers live, and as for the low-level workers,With the deterrence of Mina's powerful military machinery and the support of supplies, indigenous civilians were willingness to be loyal under Mina's banner.

"God." When the environmental data of this planet was understood by Renyu, Renyu couldn't help but marvel at the richness of this world, Earth was really too barren compared to this planet. Regarding the doubts about this world's air pressure and gravity, Renyu finally understood why the difference between this world's technological development direction and Earth's was so huge under the measurement of the exact instrument.

The atmospheric pressure of this world is twelve times that of Earth, and the acceleration of gravity is 7.2 meters per second squared. Atmospheric pressure this high means that a helium-filled balloon in the same proportion is twelve times more buoyant than Earth's, while the gravity of this world is only seventy-three percent of Earth's. That means that the Zeppelin's big guy, which has a lift capacity of only thirteen tons on Earth, can carry a staggering two hundred tons on this planet. It's no wonder that the big zeppelin Renyu saw at the beginning had such a huge power to lift hundreds of tons of objects for air transportation.

Such a large air resistance is also enough to explain the difference in the direction of development of flying machines in this world and on Earth. Any vehicle with this much air resistance would not be able to go fast at all. Bullets also have a very short range due to air resistance. Therefore, this world's flying machines are developed in the direction of low altitude, low speed and high load. The flying machines in this world were mainly airships, which relied on helium airbags to provide buoyancy and were driven forward by two fan-driven.

As for helium? Helium is not a rare element in the universe, this element is the second largest category of elements in the universe after hydrogen. The lack of this element on Earth does not mean that other planets lack, this world's atmosphere 37 percent is oxygen, 18 percent is carbon dioxide, 44 percent is nitrogen, the remaining one percent is helium-based. Under such a high pressure and high oxygen environment, with a lower gravity environment, no wonder the Earth's travelers can carry twenty kilograms of weighted armor, insist on walking over. It is no wonder that the world's land transportation is not developed, only double airbag airships can complete trade.

This world freight airships easily seven hundred tons of load capacity, without the need for a long aircraft track, as long as a landing gear. And with a cheap source of helium, this world's had no reason to develop long-distance freight trains. It's no wonder that the Paratars built their city-states on a mountain peak and grew into large city-states.

Of course, what's even more amazing is this world's unique mineral, Timonium.

Timonium Ore, a mineral that grows naturally from sunlight in a zone of bright crystals with high water content. It is the most important resource in this world, the three major forces of humanity in the entire continent, no matter how different their cultures are, how vast the differences in technology trees are, and how divergent their values are, are all using this resource, Timonium Ore!

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

Renyu didn't know what the exact chemical formula of the stuff was; perhaps Timonium ore wasn't a pure substance at all, a mixture of multiple crystals that stored hydrogen, which was silicon, magnesium, nickel, and aluminum. The amount of these four elements varies from pit to pit. For example, in Peralta, the place where magnesium and aluminum dominate the majority of Timonium crystals.

Just a little bit of water, after the full irradiation of sunlight, this mineral can grow naturally, no need to worry about mining depletion, just after a simple industrial processing will release a large amount of hydrogen, this world steelmaking method and the earth is completely different, although mechanical processing is still stuck in the age of steam, but their materials, in a large amount of hydrogen with the help of the refining of the quality of the steel is very great. As for titanium ore, this kind of earth let countless engineers worry about how to smelt out pure titanium, for this world's engineers are also relatively simple!

Renyu also finally realized exactly why the Timonium mineral powder in his musket propelled bullets. The catalyst came into contact with the Timonium mineral powder, releasing hydrogen gas and heat. Oxygen is then introduced from another gas-conducting circuit, and at high temperatures, the hydrogen and oxygen are ignited, propelling the bullet forward. However, because the magnesium and aluminum in the Timonium ore powder corrodes the barrel very easily at super high temperatures, the muskets in this world don't have rifling, and the rifling would be burned right off!

However, when Renyu told this discovery to Lee Cun Sung's ears, Lee Cun Sung asked rhetorically, “Didn't the makers of the game release the details?"

This answer blindsided Renyu, feeling as if he had overlooked some important situation. That game, before Renyu traveled across the world, belonged to one of Big Company's crappy productions. There was no such thing as a sourcebook.

Remembering that the Japanese man at the beginning of the journey had said "2008, Olympic Osaka", Renyu felt that things were a bit complicated. After re-checking the situation with Li Cun Cheng, he realized that the two of them came from the same world in general, but a few details were different.

Take this game as an example, this “Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends” in Li Cun Cheng's world is a well-produced, balanced values of the three races, the shooting feel, the picture quality, the game engine is very perfect, is a perfect combination of magic and technology of the game, Circulation has surpassed Blizzard's StarCraft II and Warcraft III.

Lee Cun Sung and Renyu each described their own understanding of this game, and both understood that neither was lying to the other. “Parallel universe!” Renyu spat out the word, and Li Cun Cheng nodded his head painstakingly.

Exchanging with Li Cun Cheng, Renyu got more information, such as the basic information of the world Renyu was in. The origin of the three major civilizations in this world is a fallen spaceship.Vinci, a steampunk civilization, is the descendant of the researchers on the battleship, who landed safely in a lifeboat when the battleship crashed, however, since there were no other resources on the lifeboat, they could only start from the very beginning!

The workers who survived the crash in the middle of the continent knew how to operate the nanobots, and they began to build cities in the desert, mining minerals, digging for water, and cultivating oases, relying on the nanobots. Over the years, their descendants occupied the desert in the middle of the continent, calling themselves the Alim. Although their language has been changing in the inheritance, but the command of these “nanoswarm robots” is unchanged, so the command has become a magic spell, and they have also become a magician who can summon puppets from the circle of fire, earth, and crystal to fight with spells!

The easternmost part of the continent, however, is the rear section of the spaceship, from which only a small number of military personnel escaped in the final moments of the ship's forced landing. This group of military personnel began to collect the materials that could be utilized in the ruins, they collected several intact nuclear reactors and several artificial intelligences that aided in military command, these artificial intelligences have been guiding the development of the descendants of this group of military personnel, gradually turning into the gods that the Kode spoke of. Under the guidance of several gods, the Kode built nuclear reactor cities. Quietly, they developed for thousands of years.

The background setting of this game is described in more detail in the game material of Li Cun Sung's realm; the Vinci leader who fought Alim and eventually forced the bridge to be blown up was the previous king of the city-state of Mina, Giuseppe Ziamba, who was the father of Petruzzo and Giacomo, however, he didn't quite understand his two sons' love for the new weapons, especially the mechanical soldiers, which caused the two brothers to grow distant from their father.

With this information, being stated by Li Cun Cheng, Renyu sort of understands the protagonist's feelings towards his brother Petruzzo. It's the younger brother's dependence on his older brother.
