Chapter 101: The Steam Engine of the World

"No manual operation?" The crowd was puzzled for a moment, unable to know what a mechanical device would look like if it wasn't operated manually. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The power of the big crossbow, we should have seen it in the northern frontier of the Shenyang Empire, so it can be said that it is more than enough to shoot the big tooth whale with the big crossbow. Horst said slowly, he wanted to reassure everyone that he had a way to deal with the Bigtooth.

The crowd chatted for a long time, mostly about the bigtooth whale. Horst sorted out this information and at the same time perfected his own plan for hunting biglodons.

Since the sea ship still needs to be renovated, and it will take some time to build the mechanical device, Horst and the others still need to stay in Haixin City for a while.

At night, the moonlight was hazy, and Haixin City gradually fell asleep, and in the entire city, there was no other source of light except for the navigation lights still flashing.

On the roofs of the city buildings, the sound of Dou Dou shattering suddenly remembered, one, two, three black shadows were running, extremely fast. The shadow of the black shadow flashed so that it was impossible to even see clearly. Suddenly, the shadows stopped on the roof of an inn, quietly uncovering the tiles, trying to find out something.

"Huh, the princess isn't there?"

"Let's go to another room and have a look. ”

"Still not there?"

"Where the hell will the princess go?"

"As soon as we got the news from the agents of Sea City, we rushed over immediately, and it was impossible for the princess to find out. ”

"Follow this group, and maybe you can find the princess's traces. ”

The shadow whispered, so small that it was only possible to tell what they were talking about when they got closer.

At the same time, on the other side of Sea City, a slightly slender black shadow was also running rapidly, crossing the roofs of one building after another.

"Huh, why did it suddenly disappear?" Suddenly, the black shadow suddenly stopped, and his cold tone showed some disbelief, "It seems that some organization has come to investigate us for some purpose." ”

"No matter how much it is, tell everyone first and get them ready. The dark shadow looked around, didn't seem to find what it was looking for, and went back the way it came.

However, not long after she left, the original place, the black light condensed, and then the figure appeared. This figure, covered in a black cloak, with a blood-red light flashing in its eyes, was extremely demonic.

After a "grunt-" sound came out of his throat, the figure once again disappeared in the black light, and quietly left with the help of the dark night environment.

The next day, in a mage workshop in the south area of Sea Heart City, Horst and his team members were talking about something with some craftsmen at this time.

"I have never seen such a principle, and Your Excellency proposed to make such a mechanism. Ironclad is useless. A black-shirted craftsman blushed at this time, "Why oppose what the magic energy stone can do?"

"The problem is, it's not very easy to get a magic stone now, and if there were a magic stone, I wouldn't have asked you to build this steam engine according to the drawings. Horst argued the same. That's right, the drawings given by Horst are the design and manufacturing scheme of the steam engine.

The steam engine is a landmark invention of Khorst's agricultural civilization to industrial civilization in his previous life, which can greatly improve the way energy is converted.

"Anyway, you make it first. Horst cupped his chin and pondered. Now these craftsmen in the mage craftsman workshop refused to build for Horst and others because they couldn't understand the principle of the mechanism, which was a bit nerve-wracking.

Horst knew that it would not be easy to get the people of this world to accept the steam engine for a while and a half. You know, this kind of thing doesn't belong to this world in the first place.

Even when Horst said the name of this mechanical device, Tucker and the others were at a loss, not knowing what Horst was talking about. It wasn't until Horst explained what a steam engine was that everyone understood.

"Well, I'm going to do an experiment for you. Horst removed a kettle from a shelf in the craftsman's workshop, similar to the kettle used to boil water in his previous life.

Filling the kettle with water, Horst called out to the craftsmen, including Tucker and others.

"You see, now this pot is cold water, so after I heat it up, you can look at the phenomenon again, and then I will explain to you how it works. Horst placed the kettle on a stand, and blue flames flashed between his hands.

Blue flames flew out and enveloped the entire kettle.

With the output of mana, everyone could see the light blue mana line, constantly inputting hydrogen elements into the blue flame.

The crowd didn't say a word, just waited quietly to see what Horst was going to do.

Time is ticking, bit by bit. In less than ten minutes, everyone heard a gurgling sound from the kettle, which was the phenomenon of a boiling cup.

Then, white water vapor emerges from the edge of the lid, and Horst places some light leaves on the seam between the lid and the kettle.

In less than a few breaths, the light leaves were lifted by white vapor and flew into the air.

"This ......," puzzled the craftsman, "it doesn't seem to explain anything." ”

When Horst heard this, his eyes squinted, did he really think that the craftsman in front of him was an idiot, and he couldn't see such a simple truth?

There was no way, so Horst had to explain it himself: "Water produces steam because it boils under heated conditions. The same mass of water has different volumes in different states. Basically, gaseous water of the same mass is 1,700 times the volume of liquid water. Think about it, if you fill a sealed and fixed space with liquid water, what would happen when it was heated?"

"I see, no wonder I didn't think about the fact that the water in the first state is heated into gaseous water, and under certain circumstances, the gaseous water will produce a greater air pressure than the liquid water, and the pressure difference between the inside and outside interfaces will be used to generate power. Tucker suddenly understood something, "I didn't expect that a simple thing would have such an effect." ”

The craftsman seemed to understand Tucker's explanation, and stopped talking.

"If that's the case, wouldn't many of the mechanisms be able to power steam?" said Dennis, who was now serious, and it was clear that he saw a great application for the steam engine.

"That's why I designed something that I was inspired by the ordinary. I think that if we had installed a steam engine on our sea vessels and relied on the power provided by steam, we would have been able to sail in such ocean conditions. "The state of the sea that Horst is talking about is the current direction of the sea breeze, which is a headwind for sea vessels. If you are heading to the Orc Continent or the Natural Continent, it will take longer to sail against the wind.

"Moreover, under the power of the steam engine, it was possible to improve the crossbow, which made it possible to realize the automatic operation of the crossbow. Horst continued, "You should understand by now, don't you? Mr. Craftsman, I wonder if you would be interested in buying my drawing?"

"However, we have to wait for the actual device to be made to be able to verify that the things in it are correct. The craftsman replied cautiously.

Of course, he knew what the young man in front of him was bringing to the table.

This is a kind of machine that does not exist in this world, it is his unique invention, and in this world, it is often the transformation of power that troubles people. Even the presence of mages is also plagued by this. Sometimes, the energy that is so abundant is wasted.

This is also a mechanical device that can lead this world civilization to a big step, and can greatly improve the power needs and sources of all walks of life. In the case of the shortage of magic energy stones, relying on magic, one power type is transformed into another, and the mutual conversion between power is realized, which brings about different developments.

Craftsmen are naturally happy to see this situation, and the progress of human civilization often depends on craftsmen or because of the invention and creation of craftsmen, and carries out the development of civilization after civilization.

In fact, Horst wants to sell this kind of drawings to artisan workshops, and there is another meaning. He didn't want people to know that he was the creator of such a machine, as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong. Although his belly is a little darker, and he is a little tyrant, he will be targeted by some undesirable forces, especially the undead organization.

"When will it be finished? I have a plan for the renovation of the sea ship, and you can put the steam engine on the sea ship and complete some work on the crossbow improvement. Horst once again pulled out a roll of parchment, which he had asked for from the ship's ship. Horst made some changes to the construction drawing, eliminating the position of the sails, adding a part of the cabins, and at the same time adding a position for a large crossbow on the deck.

The crossbow was purchased by Horst from the city guards, although negotiations are still ongoing.

The craftsman took the parchment handed over by Horst and said with a smile: "Sir, you also know that there are many people in our mage's workshop, don't you ......?"

"Here you go. When Horst heard this, he knew what the craftsman wanted, and he took out a bag of gold coins from his backpack and handed it to the craftsman, "There are two hundred gold coins here, which is enough for your manufacturing and labor costs." ”

If it were only to purify the elements, forge and cast, then the charges for the mage craftsman would be extremely cheap. But it's not the same if it's to make magic equipment. Magical equipment is able to store a certain amount of mana, which requires the consumption of a certain amount of magic stones, as well as some other rare materials.

Magic stones are easy to say, but rare materials are different. For example, to make a god-level staff, you need to find a kind of rattan wood, which is extremely rare, and there are not even a few in the world. Because of this, a lot of god-level magic equipment can be said to be available but not sought.

"Don't worry, the production of the steam engine and the transformation of the sea ship are all on us. ”
