The Mither Core, the pinnacle of the Grand Arcanists of Netheril, the crystallization of human ingenuity, is the jewel in the crown of the gods.

Its function is very simple, that is, through the Astral Vascular linked to the magic web, it directly extracts the most primitive magic energy of the multiverse and releases the magic tide, which is equivalent to making the entire Nethrel directly obtain an inexhaustible source of energy.

In the radiation realm of the Mithic Core, these primordial magic can be used infinitely for all quasi-magic items, so that the Arcanists do not have to perform magic constancy after creating quasi-magic items.

At the same time, it is also the most important component that allows the floating city to ascend to heaven.

In the world of Levi's previous life, some scholars proposed to extract infinite energy through gravitational waves, if it could be realized, the two were somewhat similar, but until Levi crossed into another world, he had only heard of this term slightly, as for whether this theory is absurd or feasible direction, there is no way to know.

Since there are such creations that can easily extract infinite magical energy, the slightly more primitive and low-end kinetic energy development will naturally be ignored by the arcanists, and studying them is tantamount to wasting their precious time.

After Levi passed the knowledge inheritance, he was actually very interested in Netheril's Mither core, and always thought that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely buy one and study it, and maybe he could use his black technology materials to make all the wonderful sparks.

It's a pity that Netherel has long disappeared into the dust of history, and even the occasional unearthed Mithriel cores, because they do not cooperate with the running base of the link magic network, are only used for collection at most, or are directly used by careerists as a killer weapon to threaten others with death in a desperate situation.

Without any protective measures, the Miser energy nucleus is basically equivalent to an unstable nuclear reactor exposed to the air, and anyone who touches it will be killed instantly, and if there is an explosion, the matter within a radius of 100 miles will probably be directly dissociated.

It's a pity that he doesn't have that thing in his hand now, and even if he wants to be a radical who shouts "Ah-a-Huakba-face", he has no chance, so he can only hand off a half-formed conceptual model of the steam engine and fool the mages in front of him.

"Yes, the Mithic Core is indeed the pinnacle of stealing the power of the Goddess of Magic, but until now, few people have even heard of its name, but this one... Creation, can Master Hogg introduce us to it?"

When a bald guy in sackcloth took Levi's words, he walked over and bowed slightly to Levi, and then said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce myself, I'm from the surface Zarecel, and I used to be a level 9 plastic mage/level 2 arcanist, well... The red-robed mage, the red-robed mage Fischer Taylor. ”

After hearing the infamous name of the red-robed mage, the other mage who was traveling with him was not too surprised, as if he had already known about it, and his self-introduction was much more concise:

"Eagle Orm, from the Northern Drawing City, a level 3 arcanist, has met Lord Hogg. ”

Levi nodded, the heart was finally waiting for the master, Holtz couldn't tell the difference between psionic and arcane at all, and the Calvin he brought with him might be a good hand at breeding Cavins rats, and his flexible mind could barely understand the principle of the steam engine.

But he didn't have any experience in formal spell research and experimentation, so he basically couldn't come up with any effective information for improvement.

If it weren't for him helping him solve the breeding problem of the Cavins rat, for fear of dampening his enthusiasm for work, Levi would have wanted to stuff this back to the Cavins rat farm.

It's just that I didn't expect that among the two mages who came, there was also one from the famous red-robed mage society, which was the most active violent element and the largest arms dealer in the entire Corell, and was once rejected by many good and righteous camps, and even thought that they were a big disaster for Corell.

However, excluding the personality that the red-robed mages generally like to do, they can indeed be regarded as a group of scholars with a spirit of exploration and research.

As for the latter, Li Wei was not impressed, because Jishui City itself was only gradually developed by a group of smugglers for common interests, and there were not many legal genes at the root, even if it attracted some legal professionals to come to teach by money, I am afraid that the level was probably not high.

So the latter was temporarily labeled by Levi as 'making up the numbers' like Calvin.

Li Wei didn't waste any time, and said directly to the two former mages: "Very good, I would like to welcome you on behalf of Hoag Mining, although it is not a very profound thing, but after all, it involves trade secrets, and I ask the two of you to sign this employment agreement first." ”

The two took over the employment agreement that had just been drafted from Remulu, and after seeing the relatively generous treatment and the non-compete agreement that was not too restrictive, they did not show any dissatisfaction, and happily signed their names.

"Very well, then we will start now, I need your help to make a metal artifact that has been developed, its inventor is a blacksmith named Newkerman, but it was not widely used at the time, but it is very suitable for greatly improving the mining efficiency of our Zeellandia, so I plan to prototype it and try it out. ”

"I want to hear about it. The two former mages also looked serious when they heard that they could greatly improve the efficiency of mining, and Calvin on the side also nodded.

"You see, this thing is mainly composed of cylinders, bases, pistons, crank linkage mechanisms and flywheels, etc. Due to the limited conditions on site, I have only made one cylinder, but this does not affect the understanding, and when the water boils and becomes steam, it is fed into the cylinder, which pushes the piston inside... Finally spinning with the flywheel... If you add a linked turbine and drill bit to this, it is a semi-automatic mining mule. ”

Its principle is actually very simple, so simple that even a former liberal arts dog like Levi has heard of it.

But it was just such a simple device that liberated human and animal power in another world and promoted the first industrial revolution of mankind.

However, in this transcendent power everywhere in Correll, his appearance may not be shocking enough compared to those beings with the power of heaven and earth, but the changes it can bring to Zeellandia in the dark demon web are definitely intuitive enough!

"A great invention! it can change the lives of every one of us in Zeelandia..."

However, what everyone didn't expect was that it was not the three mages in front of them who made this exclamation, but a dwarf who was covered by the large boiling kettle...

"Oh, Tegel, what are you going to do in our Hogg Mines instead of guarding your Gold Miner Brotherhood, what you are peeking at now is our Hog Mining secrets, and that alone I have a reason to declare war on your Gold Miner Brotherhood!"

Levi had already discovered that the guild boss next door had sneaked over when he was explaining the principle of steam, and naturally knew what he was thinking at this time.

And the next moment, Tiger's self-deprecation also confirmed his conjecture.

"Archon Hogg, you've already made two killer moves in a row, if I continue to resist, won't I be unhappy?"

Levi continued to smile and said, "You can go and work with those Drows." ”

Tiger shook his head, "Zhuo is not credible, to be honest, I was a little apprehensive before coming here, but after seeing this machine, I completely figured it out, to be able to make such a whimsical object, it must be a deep love for ore, Boss Hogg, we are the people all the way, what conditions do you have to mention, our Gold Brotherhood is ready to merge into your Hogg Mining." But these can be talked about later, this semi-finished product I look at the diaphragm panic, can we get a sample to try first? I can't wait!"

"...... Levi would like to say that besides you dwarves, who else has a deep love for those smelly and hard ores!

But it's just uncomfortable to say this kind of thing at this time.

And he really didn't expect that Tiger was much smarter than he imagined, and saw the end of his resistance in advance, so he simply reduced his losses and chose to merge as soon as possible.

What Levi didn't expect was that in the next process of building the steam engine, it was not the red-robed mage who helped the progress the most, but this dwarf who looked a little old and clumsy.

For example, the piston, crank connecting rod mechanism, slide valve steam distribution mechanism, speed regulating mechanism, these spare parts, Li Wei is only a little briefly described, plus the picture on the ground, this master who is comparable to the fifth level of various types of work can directly rely on a hammer and anvil to get out with his bare hands.

The entire steam engine was rapidly completing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Originally, Levi was worried that he was not in a position to smelt pure iron, and asked whether to get some high-purity iron ingots to re-build a cylinder first, but Tiger said that it was too time-consuming, anyway, it was just a model, he looked at it, although the big iron and stone box made by Levi looked a little pitted, but the air tightness was not bad.

After tossing for half a night, Levi and his party finally put together the world's first steam engine with their bare hands in the pit.

"Hurry up, coal, water, I can't wait!"

Tiger, the dwarf, seemed even more anxious than Levi.

As the steam chamber was filled with river water, the coal was ignited, and slowly, as the water was boiled, there was a small sound in the large iron box, and even the piston began to move, and finally the connecting rod and the flywheel began to spin rapidly.

The entire upper end of the steamer was accompanied by an astonishing white gas, emitting a piercing roar like a hundred boiling kettles boiling.

The group looked at the moving machinery with excitement.

And the dwarf Tiger looked extremely excited, his eyes were full of fanaticism, "Hahahahaha! Is this the power of the steam engine! Bigger machinery, bigger snails, more ore, here we are!"

But at this moment, Levi heard the fine crackling sound in the iron box becoming more and more obvious, and a bad feeling surged in his heart, and he immediately dragged Remlu away from the big iron box that kept vibrating.

Seeing that the master's posture was wrong, the alert Huo Zi also flashed for the first time, and the second action was the three masters who also found something bad.

"Eh..."When the old dwarf noticed that the crowd around him was suddenly empty, he finally felt a little uncomfortable...

Bang!!!

With a violent roar, the first steam engine in the history of Corell turned into a brilliant explosion accompanied by scattered white mist...
