Chapter 198: The First Transformation

"Humph!"

Kochagin snorted, feigning to be angry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Kochakin, is this the alchemist you said of who proposed a plan to improve the steam engine?" Hind looked at Maier with a very skeptical look, as if he did not believe what Kochagin had said to him.

Hearing the voice, Mel turned his head, but didn't say anything more.

Kochagin glanced at Hind and said, "I have already seen the drawings, it is indeed a good plan, it is feasible, although Meier is not very old, he has a high talent in alchemy equipment." ”

Hind was still skeptical.

Kochagin walked up to Mair and said, "You can use everything here, if you need any help, ask Ammon to help you." ”

Maier nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Kochakin." ”

Immediately, Kochagin returned to Hind and said, "Okay, you've seen the people, if nothing else, hurry back to your own laboratory, you're here, and Mel can't get started." ”

Cinder walked a little unwillingly.

Soon Maier was on his own, because the drawings were already drawn and the tools in the lab were complete, so assembling would not be a difficult task.

The more difficult thing is that it is the first time that Maier has made alchemy equipment, so there will be a certain degree of difficulty in terms of heat control and the shape of the instrument, and the things made are relatively rough.

A device is a thing that needs to be fine, and a little roughness does not hinder much, but if there are more rough places, a chain reaction will be formed, and it is very likely that the whole instrument will collapse.

So Maier had to solve this problem first.

Suddenly, Maier remembered the process of using the fireball technique to make weapons, because the fire of the fireball technique came from the magic element, so it was easier to control and could act according to his own mind.

In this way, mistakes can be minimized.

However, it is actually a waste to use magic to process instruments, because there are too many places to forge when making an alchemical instrument, especially a large instrument like a steam engine.

If everything is processed using magic, it will inevitably take a lot of mana.

Maier may not be able to withstand the consumption of this magic power, after all, Maier is only a junior magician, and the amount of magic power is actually very limited.

In this way, it will also take a lot of time.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mel finally decided to use the fireball technique to process it.

Because compared to being familiar with those processing equipment, in the short term, the time to use magic is relatively short, and in the long term, it is obviously better to be familiar with processing equipment.

But this is not Meier's laboratory, and Meier's time here is limited.

Almost as soon as the steam engine was perfected, Maier would leave the lab.

Of course, if the reform keeps failing, after a while, Mel will leave this place, after all, there is a limit to the trust that Kochagin can give Myr.

Mayer modified the steam engine according to Watt's improvements, starting with the condenser.

This is where the most important thing is.

There is also a special name for this condenser, called the separation condenser, which refers to the separation of the condensation of steam and the outside of the cylinder.

In this way, a lot of energy can be saved.

Mayer spent the whole day building the split condenser, because it was not an off-the-shelf part, but had to be extensively modified, and had failed several times in between.

Towards evening, Mair said goodbye to Kochagin and Ammon and returned to the Western District.

Lily and Little Lauren had prepared dinner early, and Tom and Druba were waiting for Mel.

"What are you doing today, Myer?"

Maier pointed in the direction of the tower and said, "I went to the tower today, changed the badge, and spent a while in an alchemist's laboratory. ”

"Alchemists, are they the ones who made the steam train?" Lily's eyes lit up.

Maier thought for a while and said, "Sort of, alchemists are actually divided into many research directions, some study alchemy equipment, some study alchemy life, and others. ”

Lily asked curiously, "Mayer, can you tell me what the alchemist's laboratory looks like?"

"Not very different from a normal house. "There's a lot of alchemy products, semi-finished products, and raw materials," Mel recalled. ”

"In addition, the alchemy laboratory is more dangerous than usual, because if you make a mistake in the operation there, there is a possibility of an alchemy accident. ”

Little Lauren asked, "What is my brother doing in the lab?"

Maier touched little Lauren's head, smiled, and said, "If you go to the laboratory, you must be going to do experiments." ”

"Is that brother also an alchemist?"

"Sort of. ”

Maier nodded and said, "By the way, this experiment I'm going to do recently may last a long time, so I won't be at home most of the daytime, if you have anything, you can wait for me to come back and tell me at night." ”

Little Lauren nodded obediently.

The next day, Maier returned to Kochagin's laboratory.

When Ammon left yesterday, he gave Mair something similar to a token, so this time he didn't need Kochakin's company, and Mair was able to reach the middle and upper reaches of the tower with alchemical life.

As soon as he entered, and after saying hello to Ammon, Maier immediately devoted all his energy to improving the steam engine.

Yesterday it was a separator condenser, and today, Mayer is reworking the cylinder by adding an insulating layer to prevent heat loss as much as possible.

Because heat loss means energy loss.

Watt made many improvements to the steam engine, each of which may only slightly improve the efficiency of the steam engine, but when these improvements are combined, they can form an extraordinary effect.

Books record that Watt's improvements made the steam engine three times more efficient.

But here, because of the magic, the magic has already made some optimizations to the steam engine before, so the space that Mel can optimize will not be so obvious.

Maier expects that Watt's improvements will be about twice as efficient as the existing steam engine when all of its improvements are used.

But don't look down on it because double is not as good as three times, because this two-fold increase is when the efficiency of the current steam engine is almost the same as that of the improved steam engine in Maier's previous life. (To be continued.) )
