What are the reasons for the increased resistance after the chimney is extended horizontally, and what are the solutions?

After connecting the exhaust chimney near the living area to a chimney located at a distance of about 200 meters, the drying furnace system connected to the original chimney began to emit steam from both ends. Is there any good solution for this issue?
The chimney is connected to a distant location, which increases the exhaust resistance; therefore, it is necessary to consider installing an exhaust fan to ensure the proper operation of the drying furnace system.
Is it equivalent to connecting a fan in series?
It is necessary to connect an induced draft fan in series to ensure the proper operation of the drying furnace system.
There are two ways: 1. Increase the height of the chimney. 2. Add fans to increase the negative pressure generated by the drying grate.
What the brother upstairs said about making it taller isn’t necessary; after all, a chimney 200 meters high should be sufficient to handle the smoke exhaust load. What the original poster is worried about is the issue of smoke leaking from one furnace to another, and this is generally resolved by using smoke barriers. I just built a chimney with two flues, and I added a partition wall inside them!
