Chapter 169: The Hope of the Steam Engine

Ye Guyun quickly finished reading the "General List of Osma's Works". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The mood is ups and downs.

At first, it was amazed and amazed, but in the end, it became "What?

Falling back from a high place, like diving, like bungee jumping, like skydiving, like China's stock market......

Flying three thousand feet, the Milky Way falls for nine days......

It's too exciting to get up and down in life so fast......

There is a reason for this excitement, and the reason is obviously in the "Osma's Catalogue". More precisely, it should be what is in it.

For Ye Guyun, the content of the book is a cup of Xiang-flavored ice cream, or an ice-cream-flavored Xiang, which is uncomfortable to look at if you don't eat it, and uncomfortable to eat it in your mouth.

Gain, the content of the book, Mrs. is too professional and Mrs. is too fantastical!

It is also the "General Catalogue of Osma's Works", which is naturally full of Archmage Osma's lifelong research results, and these achievements are naturally related to mages and arcane arts. Therefore, you can see a large number of spells of various improved spells, you can see many catalogues of self-created magic circles and charms, you can see the advanced and subtle arcane, plane, biology, otherworldly biology, alchemy, magic construction, etc., you can see many exquisite ideas about the production methods of priceless treasures, strange objects and magical equipment, and even see the detailed production steps of various golems......

For a mage, this is definitely a priceless treasure book! However, Ye Guyun is not a mage! Although he will still be amazed by the bizarre and fantastic in it, but it is only like this, after being amazed, the more he looks at it, the more disappointed he becomes, and the more he looks at it, the more unpleasant it becomes.

It's not what he wants to see!

So, what did he want to see? some material, utensil, or gadget, like fire-resistant paint, which could be strange and unusable, could be finished or semi-finished by alchemy and magical construction—even if it was a failure.

With subversive and forward-thinking ideas and insights from another world, he believes he can find the true use of these things.

Others, not interested, and incomprehensible.

But, unfortunately, there is very little I want to see.

First, because alchemy and magical construction are only one of the contents and only relatively scarce in space, and second, because the only content has been deliberately screened, so that there are far more things you don't want to read than you want to see.

I thought about it deeply, but I was also relieved.

This book is a masterpiece, which can directly represent the lifelong work and historical status of Archmage Osma himself, so what is recorded in the book cannot help but lean in the direction of the lofty.

Therefore, it will spend a lot of pen and ink describing those magical equipment, magic props and alchemy products that are novel and creative, highly powerful, and powerful, such as a magic wand that can release N spells at the same time, a magic gem that can translate the language of the world (the one given to Ye Guyun), and a magic crystal that combines and stores N kinds of different energies......

But it will not be spent on the materials, components, and semi-finished products used to make these tall objects—more than a brushstroke, at most a few or two sentences.

That's not enough!!

In short, I have complained so much and explained so much, just to explain that this book is not the right appetite and a big disappointment!

"What's wrong? Questions? Not satisfied? uh. This book...... Isn't it bad?"

Archmage Osma and Frank next to him had been paying attention to Ye Guyun's expression, and the former was even more nervous, with his hands folded, his eyes widened, and he looked at it with a smile, just like a street writer waiting for the editorial review. But it's not difficult to understand, after all, this is a very important otherworldly master in his heart watching his own hard work, the other party's evaluation is very important to him, recognition or denial, the gap is the whole life!

And now, the archmage saw an undisguised negative expression on Ye Guyun's face......

Suddenly, he wanted to curse, beat, and even set off fireworks—of course, a continuous stream of destruction spells......

Ye Guyun had been immersed in his own thoughts, how could he have the strength to care about his affairs, so when he raised his head and saw the archmage's entangled and almost distorted face, he couldn't help but be stunned. Although I was inexplicable, I knew how to respond: "This book should be very good." Mr. Osma, your work is amazing!"

Hmmm? Marvel? This is praise! This is recognition! At the mention of the voice, the heart suddenly dropped by half!

Can...... What the hell are you meowing, you keep hanging a disgusted and uncomfortable expression when you see the online article on the street?

The corners of his forehead were throbbing, beating violently, his cheeks were twitching, he couldn't stop pumping, the archmage barely suppressed the nameless fire in his heart, and asked in a condensed voice, "But you don't look satisfied.....

"Oh, indeed, because I didn't see what I wanted to see. Ye Guyun replied frankly.

Well, this answer is unexpected—whatever it is! As long as it's not my brainchild, it won't work!

Rubbing his beard vigorously, the archmage said again, "What do you want to see?"

After thinking about it, Ye Guyun replied: "Perhaps, it is your alchemy notes, or maybe it is the experiment record? or even the records of half-finished products and failed products." ”

"How could anyone like to watch that kind of thing....."

"The concept is different!"

"Wait!"

More books were taken out. None of them are as precious, locked and crusty as the "Osma's Catalogue of Works", but are simply bound together haphazardly, and the paper is all kinds of pickles, graffiti is already idle, and traces of oil, damage, pollution, and even fire or acid etching are not uncommon, and the mess is like pickles.

However, the more Ye Guyun looked, the more he felt the taste, and the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and the appearance of unbearable release made the two people next to him completely confused - these primitive and complex and rough messy research materials, are they so good-looking?

His eyes rolled continuously, turning page after page, and suddenly, Ye Guyun saw something that made him suddenly excited. Raising the scorched parchment in his hand, he asked Archmage Osma, "What is this?"

The archmage took the parchment, looked at it, was slightly impressed, frowned, and said as he recalled, "Well, the Alpha III. Scorching Ray Emitter, a general-purpose portable combat device that users can use to emit scorching rays of varying magnitude. The idea for this thing came from the wand, and the design was intended to remove the restrictions on its use, so that ordinary people who were not skilled in arcane could cast a scorching ray at the touch of a button when needed, just like a spellcaster could easily use a wand...... "Scratching his head, he added, "In addition, a special hedron energy supply system was added, which was easy to replenish and reused......"

"Brilliant idea!" Ye Guyun praised, "If it is manufactured in large quantities and used to equip the army, it will be able to create an absolutely unexpectedly powerful force." ”

What is the concept of an army with a laser gun in one hand?

"Ah, yes......" the archmage pouted, "but it's still a failure. ”

"I want to hear about it. ”

"All the features in the idea were realized, but the actual use was far from what it would have been. The key is in the hedron. If you want to use it to equip the army, you must be able to manufacture it in large quantities, so you have to think about the cost, so you can only use the cheapest (but not cheap) low-grade spars. Low-grade hedron ...... You know, impurities have the most and the lowest energy, and in the emitter, the glowing rays emitted are completely useless. Those with enough range are so weak that they can't even shoot through a cloth coat, and those with enough power have too short a range to be even longer than a long sword. ”

Hey, aren't they all typical problems of early laser weapons? Ye Guyun said he understood, but he was not bothered by it, because he was not looking at this one for its combat or military application.

So he asked: "Is there a way to improve this kind of transmitter?"

The archmage waved his hand: "Improvement? If you want to enhance its effectiveness, then you don't need to mention it! I have already made many improvements in this area, and the performance in all aspects has been squeezed to the extreme, and if you want to enhance it, the only way is to replace it with an intermediate or even high-grade spar as an energy supply." Obviously, that's not a good deal!"

Ye Guyun shook his head: "No." I was trying to ask if I could go to the extreme. If it can shoot far, try to make it shoot farther, and then install a sensor device on the transmitter to measure the distance through the rays, which will be a rangefinder with a particularly wide range of applications. As for the high energy, let it be even more energetic, until it melts the steel, and even cuts through the thick iron plate in an instant!length?to hell with it!!" After a pause, he added very seriously, "I think I need to emphasize it, I value the latter in particular, it is really, very important, I would love to get it, it will be of great use to me!"

How many kinds of industrial machinery can be replaced by such a machine? Welding guns, boring machines, lathes, drilling machines...... Considering the characteristics of the rays, this machine must also have a high machining accuracy.

That is to say, with a machine in hand, anyone can perform all kinds of fine processing on metal! This means that a non-science student with only a general concept can easily restore a perfect steam engine (of course, it must be verified by many times)

Hey! The steam engine is the steam engine! The key killer of the industrial revolution, the steam engine!

As soon as he thought of this, Ye Guyun couldn't bear to be excited, his cold face couldn't hold back, and even his body began to tremble unconsciously.

However, such a reason is not known to outsiders, so it will inevitably create some misleading. Frank was hit, listening to his words and watching his deeds, he thought he had guessed Ye Guyun's thoughts, so he suddenly shouted: "Ye, do you want to use this to replace the ordinary long sword and use it as your weapon? I have to say, this is a good idea!"

It seems to be reasonable, and for a while, even Archmage Osma thinks so.

Huh, used as weapons, laser swords, no, lightsabers, Jedi, Star Wars, The Force is with you?

Uh, that's a big brainstorm......

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Ye Guyun denied: "No, I just want to use it as a tool." Cutting, welding, drilling...... Metals are processed with a variety of precision and meticulousness. ”

Frank couldn't help but be stunned: "What do you do with metal?"

"Build a machine, another machine. ”

"Huh?" said Frank, "you asked the teacher to develop a machine for processing metal. Metal, in order to make another kind of machine. What, then, is another machine for? And then another machine?"

"Oh, Frank, you're making me stunned...... "The archmage held his head to the door, his head full of black lines.

Shaking his head again and smiling bitterly, Ye Guyun replied: "I don't deny this possibility......"

"Huh, really?" Frank's eyes widened, "You're not kidding, are you?"

Okay, huh!

That's right, how can you understand that making machines with machines is one of the signs and essentials of industrialization?

"Again...... Ye Guyun took a deep breath and looked serious, "This is not a joke, I am serious, my ultimate goal is to build that kind of machine! It has a name, it is called a steam engine." It is true that some other machines can be built on the basis of it, but its greatest function is to provide power! a power that is countless times more efficient than human and animal power! That will revolutionize an era!"

“wow...... The proposition of the ...... of the new era of revolution" is so big that Archmage Osma can't help but be stunned, "Really?"

"Really. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"Let's wait for the real thing to explain!That is much more powerful!" Ye Guyun pointed to the pattern, "So you have to transform the high-energy version of the scorching ray emitter I said as soon as possible, with it, I can bring the steam engine to you." ”

"Hey, I didn't say I'm going to make that thing......"

"You always have a way!"

"So I added one more item to my work list. ”

"You're always willing to do it anyway, aren't you?"

"You've always counted me to death anyway......" the archmage glared hatefully, "That's it! Then, you can go! Now, just the sight of your treacherous face makes me feel angry!"

"Don't! I haven't finished reading it yet!" Ye Guyun pointed to the large pile of materials on the table, "I'm sure, there must be a lot of valuable things hidden in it...... Lo and behold, Mr. Osma, I have found you another good business that will bring you untold fortunes!"
