Chapter 61: Transformers
Like the wolf skull, it's a material that stores and transforms magical power.
It seems that it is not a single accident, there is indeed a inheritance among these barbarian tribes, Ronan guessed in his heart.
This also means that not only this tribe, but also from other barbarian tribes, he can also collect magic materials to speed up the integrity of the battle chess sand table.
Unfortunately, these tribes are too scattered and lack contact with each other.
The extent of the permafrost is so large that the heavy snow in the cold winter will obscure all footprints.
Unless the other party takes the initiative to appear within the range of the Cold Wind Collar, Ronan will really be difficult to find in a short time.
But it doesn't matter, I'm not afraid that the goal is difficult, I'm afraid that there is no goal.
Send a flock of crows to roam the frozen skies and search slowly.
The special magic that existed in the beast tooth necklace was the same as that of the giant wolf's skull, and it also emitted a pale blue halo, obviously the two came from the same source.
It is estimated that it is made of the teeth of the skull.
Ronan used the blood of those barbarian savages as research materials, and after trying it, he confirmed that it was still the same three magical trajectories.
After losing its research value, he directly absorbed it into the battle chess sandbox.
[Obtain material replenishment, unlock 2% of the battle chess sandbox, and mana reserves 200/200 +20/hour]
【Custom Golem (2nd Order) 0/10】
Mana reserves and regeneration rates have increased again, and ten more golems have been filled.
Only this time, Ronan didn't rush to create the hybrid earth golem that he had researched before.
Now with the miners in place, he is facing another troublesome problem.
How to get a large amount of coal out of the mine.
The conventional mode of transportation in this era is to rely on horse-drawn carriages and carts to transport slowly, spending a lot of manpower and time to solve the problem.
But Ronan's cold wind led the climate to be cold and the road conditions were terrible.
If this primitive method is adopted, it is not only extremely inefficient, but also much more expensive than other mining areas.
What's more, the manpower in his territory has reached its current limit.
Until the farmland outside Blackstone City is planted, he can't continue to take the risk of running out of grain warehouses.
Since it is not possible to rely on manpower, then use technology to make it.
Therefore, Ronan has been thinking about the design of the steam truck during this time, which is why he wanted to make the steam engine in the first place.
But the reality is far more troublesome than he imagined.
In order to ensure range, the volume of the high-pressure boiler needs to be further expanded, making the volume of the truck even larger.
In this era, there is no way to get rubber tires, whether they are wooden or steel wheels, even if there is steel spring shock absorption of the frame, driving in rugged mountainous terrain is still a disaster, and it can overturn at any time.
Not only that, but thanks to the low torque of the steam engine, which allows it to achieve high speeds at lower speeds, and the torque output is smooth, he can ignore the gearbox and clutch for the first time.
But other safety equipment such as barometers, water meters, water pumps, oil pumps, fuel injectors, ignition devices and other starting equipment.
You're going to say he doesn't understand, Ronan knows all these things in the car.
But you're going to have him make it and put it together, and Ronan spreads his hands and says you're kidding me?
His current progress can only be completed to the crankshaft, gears and connecting rods, etc., which can ensure that after the steam engine is started, the wheels will rotate and the car will start.
As for the control of the vehicle, it can only be said that it is left to fate.
Fortunately, he has not only technology in his hands, but also spells.
If technology doesn't work, then magic will make it up.
If you can't build a control system, let the vehicle generate its own set.
Ronan carried a pile of ordinary steel and placed it in front of the only steam engine connected to the drivetrain so far.
"Mana infused 200, spiritual projection blessing, puppet generation."
The surrounding steel emitted a multicolored halo that fused together and completely enveloped the steam power system.
The result is a 2×2×2 steel cube.
[Steam-powered Steel Golem (2nd Order): Attack: 20/Defense: 50/Spirit: 20]
[Quantity: 1/10]
[Features: The unique dual power structure makes it not only consume mana, but also run by steam power, with high endurance. 】
[Skill: Deformation, self-circulation: It can control the heat loss in the body, realize water circulation, and greatly improve thermal efficiency. 】
[Transformation conditions: 1 cubic meter of solid steel, a set of superalloy steam power system, 200 mana, 20 spirituality]
Ronan hadn't considered having his puppets involved in mining and transportation because although they were powerful, they needed to consume mana to act.
Unlike Terran knights, golems are dead creatures.
They are powered by mana cores, which consume mana in their bodies as long as they move.
Once consumed, Ronan needs to use the battle chess sand table to re-inject, otherwise it will be a statue that cannot be moved.
Moreover, the magic core of the second-order war chess is not very strong, and the power output is not enough to meet Ronan's transportation requirements.
Therefore, he chose to use the steam engine as a power substitute, and let the puppet be the main body of the vehicle to complete the driving control needs.
After all, it is much more difficult to get a giant wolf to jump and run nimbly than to get a car to drive.
Even the former can be achieved, and the conditions for the completion of the latter are self-evident.
Ronan patted the steel cube in front of him.
It began to swell, protruding from the front of a large wagon, which was loaded with a steam power system.
The rear body is constantly elongated, and the middle is dented, leaving a box for loading goods.
Unlike sculptures, which require lifelike sculptures, trucks do not require detail, and the ability to deform is enough to complete the entire structure.
The overall length of the vehicle is 7 meters× width is 2.5 meters× height is 2.7 meters, and the maximum load is about 10 tons.
It's a pity that I don't have enough magic power now, otherwise I can try to make a larger puppet.
Ronan has a little regret in his heart, and as for now, it can only be like this.
After all, one cubic meter of solid steel is close to eight tons, plus the weight of a superalloy steam power system.
No matter how big it is, it will be difficult for the magic core to maintain the stability of the whole.
Ronan took out a box of coal and water that he had prepared and added them to the two pipes above the front of the car.
Compared with the ignition of an internal combustion engine, which takes only five minutes, the steam engine takes much longer from the successful ignition to the boiler pressure to the operational, often more than an hour.
But Ronan's puppet has a dual system, and the magic core inside starts to work, instantly pulling up the boiler pressure.
Not only that, but he also saves him the most troublesome daily maintenance of the steam truck, and the puppet's automatic repair will help him solve the problem.
Looking at the moving truck, Ronan couldn't help but make a new attempt.
At this moment, the truck jumped high, the front of the car was erected, and a steel head emerged, and the rear trunk was separated from the middle into two parts, assembled into angular limbs.
The deformed puppet fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
In front of Ronan appeared a tall robot with a rough shape, but full of the original impact of steel.
At the moment, it doesn't look good, it's just a show, and Ronan laughs and restores it to its original state.
But when his level and mastery of the technology are further improved.
It's hard to say what the future holds.
