Flashing energy sparks jumped between the rune mechanisms, surging magic power was distributed from the power ridge to each magic engine, accompanied by a loud whistle, on the experimental platform hundreds of meters long, the train composed of four groups of power carriages and a large number of complex linkage mechanisms, control systems, and energy supply systems began to move slowly forward.

On the observation tower a hundred meters away from the platform, Rebecca and the technicians watched every detail of the huge, complex, and sophisticated mechanical beast, every movement of the wheels, and every roar coming from the inside of the car.

The train traveled several tens of meters, and one of the power carriages located in the middle of the section suddenly reduced its output according to the predetermined plan.

By design, the linkage mechanisms in the front and rear of the carriage will react immediately, and the misaligned runic trigger will redistribute the energy supply to all power carriages and loosen the axle transmission of the faulty carriage to prevent the faulty carriage from disrupting the balance of the entire train or even damaging the mechanical structure of the linkage.

However, an exceptionally loud noise came from the connector between the second and third power cars, and with this loud noise, a bright arcane flame suddenly erupted from the magic obelisk on the top of the car, and then the power ridge connected to the magic energy obelisk burst into flames - the magic power that was released from nowhere instantly erupted from between all the rune substrates, and the two power cars were completely engulfed by a large mass of flames almost instantly.

The fire formed by the explosion rose into the air on the experimental platform and slowly condensed into the word "shame" in the air.

In this virtual proving ground, where costs and consequences are largely not considered, this small special effect serves as a good warning and spur for project participants.

Countless bright and illusory lines vibrated and moved around on the platform, and the deflagration destroyed carriages and fireballs froze in mid-air, showing a clear decomposition structure, and Rebecca scratched her head on the observation tower in the distance.

"Mom," the marquisess said in a cold sweat, "Thankfully, we're doing the experiment here......"

Kamel on the side also made a helpless voice: "If it's in reality...... Ms. Herty is going to go crazy. ”

Rebecca pursed her lips, not daring to make up for the scene of her aunt hanging herself up and beating herself after she went crazy, she waved her hand: "Check the reason." ”

The upper deck of the observation tower immediately detached from the tower, carrying all the technicians to the experimental ruins that had been stagnant.

In this experimental space formed by virtual reality, everything becomes extraordinarily convenient.

The two project leaders began to analyze the cause of this failure with a group of technicians, who carefully observed, carefully calculated, hypothetical, discussed, verified, debated...... For the birth of a new thing, people and human wisdom are pooled, and they are not based on strength and status, but simply "knowledge and truth", and the whole team begins to get busy.

At the edge of the crowd, Daniel, who was participating in the "Cecil-style scientific research" team for the first time, looked at the scene in front of him with a little blankness.

This was the first time he had participated in a team event since becoming a servant of the "Extraterritorial Wanderer", but the atmosphere and format of the team activity were completely different from what he had imagined.

He had imagined that it would be a gloomy and oppressive group, or that it would be a tight-knit and brutal organization, as most of the secret organizations do, and that the working atmosphere would be tense, mysterious, and full of taboos and heresies, as most cultists do, but he never imagined that the real atmosphere here would be like this.

These people seem to be simply pursuing new knowledge and exploring technological possibilities, and in this "occult force" established by wanderers, the motivation for people to pursue the truth is even simpler and purer than the glorious Royal Mage Society.

Daniel, who had spent his entire youth and middle age in the Royal Mage Society, and more than ten years as a cultist in the Order of the Sleepers, was not accustomed to this "pure" atmosphere, or that no mage or scholar in this era of this world would be accustomed to this unprecedented atmosphere, but seeing the faces of these people arguing over a technical issue and rejoicing over the results of a few calculations, Daniel couldn't resist the slightest resistance.

He couldn't help but think of his youth, of the days when he first came into contact with the mysteries of magic—the only time he seemed to have a hint of warmth and color in his long, faded memory.

The unknown territory and the process of seeking knowledge are the most fascinating.

Next to the test bench, Rebecca pulled a twisted and deformed metal part closer to her eyes, and she shook her head: "The mechanical structure of the linkage is flawed, overly complex, and reduces reliability......"

As she spoke, she suddenly noticed Daniel standing not far away, so she beckoned: "Master Daniel, what do you think?" ”

Daniel woke up from a brief thought, he heard Rebecca greet and said as he walked over, "Don't call me a master, just call me Daniel." ”

Although this girl named Rebecca is still young, she is one of the original messengers of the Extraterritorial Wanderer, and she is also a blood descendant of the shell currently used by the Extraterritorial Wanderer, although she doesn't know the reason, but the owner seems to protect and love her as a real descendant, after knowing this, Daniel will naturally be polite in front of Rebecca.

In addition to Rebecca, the ancient arcanist named Kamel is also extraordinary, an ancient powerhouse who has survived from a thousand years ago, the archmage of the Gondor Empire, and even a person who has transformed himself with the power of the gods—also not to be taken lightly.

Compared to such a person, he, a high-level mage from the Royal Mage Association, is really nothing - even if he has taught a legendary powerhouse? Do Extraterritorial Wanderers lack legendary power?

The simple-minded Rebecca couldn't imagine what the old mage in front of her was sighing, she just asked the other party's opinion: "Daniel, what do you think of the magic train...... Which line of thought is wrong? ”

Daniel glanced at the complex structure of the magical artifact, full of incredible mechanical structures, and shook his head with a wry smile: "To be honest, I still haven't fully understood how it works...... I can only help you build a virtual environment. ”

Daniel is an expert in the field of dream spells and virtual reality, and he is here as an advisor to help Kamel and Rebecca build the lab environment, but for the field of magic mechanics...... Although he also knows something, his level of professionalism is obviously not comparable to Rebecca.

Rebecca herself didn't expect much of an answer from Daniel, she just shook her head: "Both lines of thought feel very difficult......

"After the power distribution, the problems of overload and interference of the high-power engine have indeed been solved, but the mechanical complexity and control difficulty have increased sharply several times," Carmel said in a low tone, "to ensure that the multiple power carriages can be synchronized and controlled, and to ensure that the whole system can be automatically balanced after some of the carriages fail, and the faulty sections can be shielded...... With the current technology and materials, we cannot create a reliable control mechanism. ”

A technician next to him couldn't help but say, "After all, the train chassis is limited, and we have too little room to play......

"On the one hand, the large power pack cannot be built, and on the other hand, the mechanical structure is complex and unreliable," Rebecca scratched at her own hair, which was already in a mess, "and we should probably re-comb all the parameters......"

Daniel silently watched the scene in front of him, although he didn't know all the secrets of the magic train when he first came into contact with the project, he understood Rebecca's distress very well-

In a project, there may be no problem in calculating data, but there will always be errors and accidents when applied to the real thing, which is almost a problem that will inevitably be encountered in the process of any technical product from paper to reality.

He raised his head and once again carefully observed the complex and massive magical mechanical creation.

It's an incredible thing, an incredible idea.

Before he came into contact with the knowledge of the Extraterritorial Wanderer, he never imagined that the power of magic could be used in this form, nor did he think that when ordinary people also participated in the transcendent realm, the operation of the entire society would be turned upside down.

Every advent of the Wanderer has a mission, to create, to destroy, to conquer the world, or to save the world.

So ...... He came this time? Is it to create a world where magic technology is propelled?

I'd love to see with my own eyes what Cecil, who had already popularized the magic machine, looked like......

"Daniel? Daniel? Rebecca noticed that the old mage suddenly raised his head and asked curiously, "Master Daniel, what do you want?" ”

Daniel woke up from his momentary wandering, he blinked, looked at the mechanical train, which had become too bloated and complicated in many transformations, and suddenly said casually: "The power of the magic train...... Do I have to put it in the car? ”

"Where is the power not put in the car?" Rebecca said with a look of course, "The power is not in the car, the power is ...... Wait, you say, the power of the train can not be put on the car?! ”

"Ah, I'm just asking," Daniel said quickly, "because I don't know much about its architecture......"

"No, no, no, whoever says it makes sense," Rebecca interrupted Daniel, "you just said that the power should not be put on the car...... Is it put on track? ”

Whoever says it makes sense, listen to whomever it is......

For the first time in decades, Daniel heard such words.

This sentence makes so much sense.

"I don't know the architecture of the Magic Train, but as a 'layman', I know that you built the train to use it to transport large quantities of goods from one place to another," Daniel said as he thought about it, "whether it's on the train or on the tracks, as long as it can achieve that purpose - as far as I've seen now, a lot of mechanical structures installed on the train have seriously exceeded the capacity of the car body, and forcibly stuffing those things into the car can only sacrifice reliability, And if you don't put the power in the car...... We have a lot of spells that can push a movable entity from the outside...... For example, installing repulsion traps or traction techniques on rails. ”

Rebecca and Carmel couldn't help but glance at each other, and from the eyes of both of them, they saw a glimmer of light.

Carmel's is a bit brighter.

"The power can be placed on the track, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it," there was a hint ......of excitement in Kamel's tone, "but if the power is on the track, can you still control the vehicle to move forward and backward and brake on the train?" Relying on the Magic Obelisk for remote control? Still is...... Leave all control to the manipulator of the track? ”

“…… The latter is not safe, the train itself must have a way to control the power, at least a way to brake, after all, it will have to transport people in the future, and no one dares to sit on an iron can that is pushed and run on the track and can't stop if something happens," Rebecca said as she thought about it, "...... Maybe we can take the power structure apart? Or...... Ah, I've got an idea!! ”

She suddenly raised her head and looked at the magicians around her with thoughtful expressions.

"Everyone, get busy—let's do it again!"
