Chapter 208: I Used It to Destroy Half of the Harbor City! (Ask for subscription)
At Dennis's warm invitation, Orlando quickly sat down, and then experienced the "comfort" and "convenience" of the alchemy steam car, which was not only slow, but also trembling......
The alchemy cart made in the alchemy workshop also has a shaky problem, but according to Lynn-sama, if you can add a tire to the wheel and make the ground smoother, this problem can be greatly alleviated.
"What's that roulette?" Dennis didn't rush to ask about the internal combustion engine, but pointed to a huge towering roulette wheel in the distance, and asked curiously.
The moment he entered the harbor of Iyeta, he noticed this thing, which was more than twenty meters tall and was still slowly turning all the time.
"It's a waterwheel, it's used to irrigate the fields, and Lord Lynn is very concerned about the civilians......" Orlando explained with a smile, and almost everyone came in to ask the same question, so he was familiar with the answer, and quickly introduced Dennis to the principle of the thing.
In fact, with the help of the inertia of the movement of the water potential, the spokes are rotated, and the buckets filled with river water are lifted up step by step, and when they reach the top, the buckets will naturally tilt, and the water will be injected into the aqueduct, and finally flow into the irrigated farmland.
"Harnessing the power of nature itself...... Very clever design! Dennis nodded in admiration.
"I've heard that the wizards of the Iyeta school have made an alchemical instrument that can travel at a speed of ninety kilometers per hour, is that so?" Raphael on the side was the first to ask.
He was very interested in Lynn's new research, so he took a ride this time and also evaluated the internal combustion engine on behalf of the council.
"Of course it's true, in fact, just yesterday there was a new breakthrough, and the upper limit of the maximum speed has been raised to 110 kilometers per hour!" Orlando explained.
One hundred and ten kilometers? Why is it getting more and more outrageous?
Dennis frowned, wondering if the other party was blowing nonsense.
Behind him, the faces of the members of the Alchemy Association were also full of indignation, but before they could retort, a violent explosion soon rang out.
It was like a thunderbolt exploding, and the ground seemed to shake violently.
"What's wrong? It can't be an earthquake, right? Dennis said subconsciously.
The Wizard's Lands is a giant island towering over the sea, earthquakes occur every few years, and the inspiration for the vibration magic is based on a strange phenomenon, although the elementalists have not yet figured out where its source is.
However, Dennis soon realized that this was not supposed to be an earthquake, as a puff of billowing smoke drifted out of the station in front of the alchemy workshop in the distance.
"Maybe one of the alchemy instruments exploded......," one alchemist gloated, and the original steam engine also had problems with the boiler and the like.
"No, it's Dean Lynn and they're experimenting with the ......power of gunpowder," Orlando explained, rubbing his ears.
Gunpowder?
Everyone present was stunned for a moment.
Dennis only then noticed such a big movement, and the townspeople on the road were not flustered at all, and seemed to be surprised.
Orlando didn't offer an explanation, after all, he didn't know much about this thing, only that it was another very powerful weapon.
With many doubts, Dennis and the others soon arrived at an open space in front of the alchemy workshop, where a large group of people were gathered, and the surface of the ground in the distance was pitted, as if it had been bombarded by fire magic.
Lynn also saw the steam car coming from the first time and led everyone to greet it.
"Long time no see, Master Raphael!" Lynn saw Raphael getting out of the car at a glance, and greeted him with a smile.
"It's been a while, but I've heard your name a lot in Greenreal." Raphael also laughed, and then turned to Lynn again.
"This is the inventor of the alchemical steam engine, Dennis."
Lynn's eyes lit up, he could invent the steam engine on his own, this is definitely a talent!
"It's a great honor to meet you, Master Dennis, your steam engine is definitely a generational invention." Lynn reached out and shook Dennis, already thinking about how to leave him in Harbor Town.
Dennis frowned, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the other party's words were sarcastic or sincere.
The members of the Alchemy Society in the rear obviously regarded Lynn's words as a provocation, and their faces instantly turned gloomy.
One of the wizards immediately stood up and said with a look on his face. "Lord Lynn, we came to Iyeta to see if your internal combustion engine is really as magical as rumored......"
"Of course, no problem, but please wait a minute, the last experiment of the day will be completed soon." Lynn nodded casually, then looked at Darren to the side, motioning for him to arrange the final experiment.
Several halflings immediately got busy, stuffing a pile of black 'stones' into wooden barrels, and then piled up many sealed white phosphorus and gravel blocks and placed them hundreds of meters away.
Darren was extremely careful in his movements, and he knew exactly how dangerous this thing was.
However, after putting away the gunpowder and retreating to safety, the halflings looked expectant, and they all turned their heads to look at Lynn.
"Dean Lynn, can we get started?" Lydia asked excitedly, and when she saw the other person nodding, she took out a rocket and put it on a special longbow.
Lydia was only about one meter three tall, and the longbow she held in her hand was not much smaller than her, which looked somewhat comical, but the great power that came with racial talent was no joke.
The longbow was drawn straight into a full moon and pointed to the sky, and as the bowstring was released, a fiery arrow flew out into a parabola and headed straight for the barrel in the distance.
The onlookers covered their ears.
What's going on?
The wizards of the Alchemy Society didn't know why, but Dennis remembered the loud noise he had just heard.
At the same moment, the rocket had already penetrated the plank, and the black powder contained inside was quickly ignited, and then burst open.
Boom~ As if thunder exploded in the ears, accompanied by a dazzling firelight rising into the sky, the surging tongue of fire instantly covered the surrounding land, flames and mud and sand flew, and the target erected next to it was instantly blown apart.
Dennis could clearly feel the heat wave sweeping in, his ears were buzzing, and by the time the smoke cleared, the grass in front of them had turned into a scorched earth, and the flames continued to burn due to the white phosphorus mixed inside, almost turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire......
