Chapter 728 Transportation Problems
The "Eternal Fortress Project" has been formulated, and Zhou Ming can find a way to get all the resources needed... He doesn't have to worry too much.

But in the specific operation process, there is still a serious problem in front of Zhou Ming.

transport.

How to carry out fast and efficient transportation with high volume?

Not talking about all kinds of food supplies here, just talking about the [-] million people who will be transferred to the area of ​​the "Godless Alliance", how to quickly transfer to the territory of the Godless Alliance is an extremely serious problem.

You must know that this is more than 9 million people, not 90, 900 million, or 9000 million, but [-] million!
With such a huge population, in country Z in the real world, during the Spring Festival travel period when everyone has to go home for the New Year, a total of 35 billion passengers were transported home and back by road, waterway, railway, plane and other means of transportation. It will take a full seven days.

In the technologically backward continent of Azerotha, the workload of transporting [-] million people may not be completed in seven days, even in seventy or seven hundred days.

However, for Zhou Ming, completing the transport work of more than [-] million people is not a big problem.

As early as a few years ago, he solved this problem through cooperation with the China Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Specially developed a means of transportation that can transport a large number of passengers - a giant passenger airship.

The length of this giant passenger airship exceeds 1000 meters, the width is 150 meters, and the internal airbag volume exceeds 1700 million cubic meters...its limit load is 2000 tons.

As for the number of passengers carried, if the extreme passenger carrying mode is adopted, it can carry 5000 passengers at a time.

It is not an exaggeration to call a giant passenger airship with such a terrifying carrying capacity a "giant in the sky".

Currently, the China Chamber of Commerce and Industry has a total of 350 such sky giants, and they are in full production. It is expected that the total number of off-line will reach 1500 in three years.

And Zhou Ming has reached an agreement with the China Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and signed an agreement, agreeing that in the next two years, 500 giant passenger airships will be mobilized to the Godless Alliance to assist in the transportation of personnel.

If all 500 giant passenger airships are in place, and the delivery work is completed every two days (the flying speed of the giant airship is equivalent to that of the high-speed rail), each trip will transport 5000 people, with a population of 18 million, and about [-] trips will be enough. Finished.

Divide 18 by 500, and on average, 360 trips are enough for each giant passenger airship.

In just two years, the migration of [-] million people can be completed.

However, for the 50 or so Holy Kingdoms of Light that need to be conquered, not all the populations of the countries have to be transported by giant airships. Those countries that border the Godless Alliance can still enter the Godless Alliance area by land, because The distance is relatively short, so it doesn't take too long.

The actual number of people who need to ride giant airships will not exceed 5 million.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Zhou Ming to complete the transportation of a large number of people in a short period of time.

However, the quantity and weight of all kinds of materials needed by a population of [-] million, such as food, daily necessities, tools and farm implements, are far greater than the population itself.

For food alone, a population of [-] million consumes at least [-] million tons a year.

How to transport [-] million tons of grain?
Is it possible to use a cargo-type giant airship?Calculated by transporting 2000 tons of grain in one trip, 10 million tons of grain, [-] trips are enough.

If another 500 giant airships are arranged to be transported, an average of 200 trips per ship will be enough... The task load does not seem to be very large.

Having said that, two new problems arise here.

One, to control a giant airship requires a large number of magicians. On average, each ship must be equipped with at least 100 mid-level (and above) magicians. If it is less than this number, the giant airship will be difficult to control.

Here comes the problem, a giant airship takes up 100 magicians, 500 is [-].

In addition to 500 passenger-type giant airships, [-] magicians are also needed to assist in their control.

Plus the [-] magicians serving on the floating warships.

And the [-] magicians serving in the kingdom's mage group.

A total of 20 magicians are needed.

Does the current godless alliance have 20 magicians?
Of course not, although Zhou Ming has invested a lot of resources in training or recruiting, the magicians who work for the Godless Alliance are only in their early 15.

Therefore, Zhou Ming couldn't spare any extra magicians to serve in the delivery of various materials.

Two, the Kingdom of Yadude is 10 miles away from the Waitrose Empire. Among the kingdoms that joined the "Godless Alliance", the kingdom closest to the Waitrose Empire is also [-] miles away. Calculated at [-] miles, the speed is equivalent to that of a giant high-speed rail. How long does it take for the airship to go round and round?
10 days.

It takes about 10 days.

To complete 200 delivery missions, it will take at least 2000 days...that is, 5.48 years.

But the problem is that everyone must eat food. If you don’t eat it for three to five days, you will starve to death. Therefore, the 200 delivery missions must be completed within a year, and many people will starve to death a few days later.

It takes 5.48 years to transport the food that needs to be consumed for a year, and it is no wonder that people do not starve to death!
What's more, in addition to the necessity of food, the consumption of other materials will never be small.

Therefore, even if there are 3000 or 5000 cargo-type giant airships, it may not be enough.

How to do?
In order to feed [-] million people, what should Zhou Ming do?
Space teleportation array.

Is it okay to use the space teleportation array?
This is of course possible. Once the space teleportation array is opened, two places separated by hundreds of thousands of miles can complete the transmission in the space channel of the teleportation array in only two or three seconds, which can be described as extremely convenient and fast.

It can save a lot of time and greatly improve efficiency when used to transport materials.

However, the teleportation port of the space teleportation array is too narrow, and it can only be teleported one by one. The speed of transferring materials is fast, but the capacity of the channel is too small, which still cannot meet the needs.

How about using it with a space ring?
Space rings have different sizes, one cubic, ten cubic, one hundred cubic and one thousand cubic. Among them, one cubic is the most, ten cubic is more common, one hundred cubic is less, and the capacity reaches one thousand cubic. , is rare.

If you can find a way to get a large number of space rings with a capacity of 100 cubic meters, and then let people carry these space rings and step into the teleportation array, assuming that each person wears 10 space rings and transports 1000 cubic meters of materials at a time, 26 million tons. Food only needs to be transported back and forth 7 to [-] times.

Assuming that each person can deliver 10 times a day, a total of 1000 people are arranged to run, and the food delivery task of 26.7 times can be completed in about one month.

The space teleportation array between the Yadude Kingdom and the Waitrose Empire was built more than four years ago, and it is still two two-way space teleportation arrays... It is very convenient to use at ordinary times, and the teleportation can be arranged at any time.

As for the transportation personnel who run the space teleportation array, as long as they are magicians, apprentice mages are fine...the level requirement is not high.

There is no pressure to draw a thousand.

The only problem left is: Zhou Ming has to find a way to get 1 space rings...the kind with a capacity of 100 cubic meters.

Now it's a little more difficult.
