Chapter 218: The Self-Consciousness of a Traverser

The rotor magic energy engine can be said to be one of the original ideas that Gawain came up with after thinking of the route of "magic industrialization", but its implementation has been delayed until today, because the difficulty and complexity of this system far exceed any kind of magic device currently envisaged - the rotor magic energy engine needs to have as few as eight groups, as many as ten groups or even dozens of neatly arranged repulsion arrays to operate at the same time to start, and so many repulsion circles are connected together, and the magic interference generated is almost a disaster, To solve this problem of interference, even mathematical calculations with rune logic are extremely difficult.

However, Jenny solved the problem and even proposed further optimization solutions for the original rotary engine.

Gawain looked at the drawings on the table and the materials next to the drawings for a long time, his expression was probably too serious, so that he was startled when he followed the study to see the lively Amber, who looked at Gawain in shock: "What's wrong?" Is there a problem with this drawing? Did Jenny get her calculations wrong? ”

Gawain raised his head and said thoughtlessly, "I'm not a genius. ”

"Huh?" Amber was stunned by this confused sentence, and the next second she thought it was Gawain teasing herself, "You're deliberately squeezing people, right?" A monster-level guy like you is not a genius, and you don't let ordinary people live - of course, I don't include myself in the 'ordinary people', I'm a genius, and I ......know the chosen choice of the goddess of the night."

"I just felt it." Gawain didn't care about the BB in the second half of Amber, but said it with a smile, turning to look out the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the night lights that were gradually lighting up on the territory.

He's not a genius.

Nor is he the center of the world.

He can't create a magical industrial age out of thin air, nor can he pull the world towards a sea of stars on his own.

Gawain was aware of this from the beginning, and today he is even more aware of it.

He knows that he is a special individual compared to ordinary people, and he can also freely admit that he wants to do great things and has the ambition to influence the changes of this era, but he knows even more - even if the times change, it is not something he can pull alone.

Thinking carefully about what has happened along the way, Gawain has become more and more soberly judging his own position, and more and more clearly aware of the talents and wisdom of the natives of this world.

The magic net comes from a down-and-out and talented wild mage, the Rebecca crystal and the rune trigger come from a noble girl with wonderful ideas, rune logic is a great law summed up by three generations of researchers for decades, the first magic engine is hammered out by craftsmen and technicians in the territory with iron hammers, and the mass production technology of alchemy potions leads to the final machine design and factory completion...... It was the culmination of months of hard work by Druid Pittman and his apprentices, as well as hundreds of workers, technicians, and craftsmen in the realm.

Just now, Patrick Bohm from Kant led in just one hour to understand the concepts of the so-called regional agency, production, supply and marketing chain, and market feedback, and made a suggestion for graded sales of goods according to the actual situation of this era.

Now, Jenny Perrault has completed the final calculation of the rotor magic engine, and before Gawain can think of it, she has designed an effective speed control scheme for this engine.

Gawain lowered his head and looked at Cecil's collar who was still full of life and vitality after nightfall.

This is a dark and backward era, but that doesn't mean that a time-traveler becomes the center of the world. In this era, in this world, there are wise people everywhere, even those who seem to be ignorant and backward nobles, they are also using wisdom and strength to maintain their dominance, Gawain feels that if he wants to make a career in this world, then the first thing to do is not to forget to be in awe of this world.

Valuing the system of the world itself, recognizing the wisdom of the local people, and rationally grabbing their own interests under this premise is the way to survive and develop.

With a smile on his face, Gawain turned his head to look at Amber who was curiously studying the drawings on the table (although she didn't seem to understand anything): "You say, if everyone in this land is talented, then what am I doing here?" ”

"What's wrong with you? Suddenly, he was talking godly," Amber blinked, "aren't you talking nonsense, you're a lord, if you don't have you, why are we here!" I've long since separated my luggage and left...... By the way, you don't really plan to announce the disbandment of the gang......"

Gawain glared at the half-elf: "Can you not use the words I taught you?" That's called a team, not a gang! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Anyway, it almost means the same thing, and the last two letters are different when the two words are spelled together......"

Gawain looked at the thief lady helplessly, but there was still a smile on his lips.

That's right, the magic web was invented by the wild mage, the alchemy reactor was invented by Pittman, and the burst crystal and rune trigger were invented by Rebecca...... Many things in the territory were not created by his Gao Wen, or at least not original, but his greatest value here is not to create them with his own hands, but to bring these talented people to exert their original talents.

He did not have wisdom beyond the natives, but he had vision and ideas beyond them, with the insight of his previous life, the knowledge of Gawain Cecil, and the mind and experience of being an observer of the ancients, he could not create anything, but he knew what the land needed.

He knows where the road is going, and that's his role and reason for being here, in the big picture, he can plan the future order and social structure of the territory, and in the small direction, he can depict a specific need of machinery on the technical route, and then let the technicians in the territory figure out how to realize it.

Gawain suddenly laughed happily, and he felt that no matter what kind of plug-in he had, at least one thing was certain:

He's the cheating of this worldβ€”at least Cecil's collar.

Oh, and I have to bring Mr. (Ms. Nicholas Egg), who has recently recovered from a cold and has been working in the Mechanical Research Institute for the past two days to figure out how to build the next generation of large stamping machines.

But the ups and downs of Gawain's thoughts could not be conveyed to Amber's nine-turn and eighteen-turn brain, and the thief lady suddenly laughed when she saw Gawain deep and deep there, and suddenly felt hairy all over her body, and was about to rush out on the spot to remind Hetty and Rebecca that their grandfather might have expired, but he didn't expect to see the old zongzi in front of him nodding to himself as soon as such a thought came up: "Amber, you go to Tanzania as my messenger tomorrow and give my handwritten letter to Viscount Andrew." ”

"Let me run so far in the winter......" Amber muttered, "what did you do in the past?" ”

"I'm going to invite the Viscount to be a guest on the land, and let him, the great miner, see how the people of Cecil's land are mining."

"Oh...... What?! Amber woke up in horror as soon as she nodded her head, looking at Gawain's eyes as if she was looking at an enemy spy who had infiltrated her own people, "You want to invite Viscount Andrew to visit the mines of the territory?" Do you remember what's there?! ”

"Remember, of course, the magic engine, the drain pump, the minecart tractor, and the crusher and sifter that have recently been put into service."

"You remember that you still have to let an outsider come to see you?!" Amber's eyes widened, "These are the lifeblood of Cecil's collar!" Our place has been able to develop like this in such a short period of time, but it is all thanks to those machines, and you are not afraid that Viscount Andrew will see it......"

"I hope he will be tempted when he sees it," Gawain nodded, "because I plan to sell him the full set of mining equipment." ”

Amber: "?! ”

"Our second-generation Magical Engine has been realized, and I'm going to sell the first," Gawain knew what Amber was thinking, but he enjoyed the fun of teasing the other party, and this headache-induced half-elf was only cute in such a daze, "And you were not right in what you just said: the territory has developed like this in such a short period of time, and the machines have a role, but we don't rely on them all. ”

He shook his head: "The part of Cecil's real hanging is something that outsiders can't take." ”

Amber's concern clearly didn't subside: "But anyway, you sell something like a magic engine to someone else...... Are you really not worried about the development next door? ”

"They will definitely develop, and the mining efficiency of the Tanzanian mines will be greatly improved," Gawain nodded, "and this will ensure that Cecil will receive more magic materials at a lower price." ”

Amber scratches her hair: "That's it?" You have another reason, right? ”

"Of course there is - only stronger partners can bring you greater benefits, I never worry about the development of others, I just need to make sure that I am the fastest growing one."

Gawain said this, and sighed softly: "Most of the rulers of this world are going the other way, they will do everything possible to make sure that no one in their sight is moving forward, they don't care how long they are standing still, as long as others are not advancing or are keeping regressing, but there is a fatal problem - they can't make sure that they suppress those who are out of their sight, what they do can only lead to regional decline, you know?" In fact, the consequences are already there. ”

"Bad consequences?"

"Ansu's neighbor, the Typhon Empire, has been carrying out continuous military reform and social progress in recent decades, they have achieved the regularization of extraordinary professionals and a certain degree of assembly line production of military supplies, and in the process of the regression of Ansu's nobles, where they cannot influence or observe, they have stood up a powerful and terrible opponent......"

Amber swallowed, she was also an Ansu native, so she naturally knew that the threat from her neighboring country Typhon was increasing day by day, but it was the first time she had heard this intuitive analysis from Gawain's mouth as a small commoner, but she still had one last doubt about Gawain's decision: "But he can't use those machines powered by magic engines if you sell them to Viscount Andrew...... These machines need to be powered by a magic web......"

Gawain smiled more and more happily: "So I have to sell him the drawings of the magic net by the way, and if possible, I will even send a group of technicians to guide Leslie to complete the infrastructure of the magic net at a low price." ”

"You even want to give him the magic net?!" Amber almost jumped this time, "Do you know how much he can do with the magic web?" ”

"Mining," Gawain said lightly, "lead mining for Cecil." ”
