Chapter 548 [The Biggest Surprise]

"Yes, the fort is a tough bone. At that time, as long as Panin drags on and drags down the battle, the problem of the steppe people not being good at attacking fortifications will gradually be exposed.

Siege warfare is the most tragic, and many, many people will die. The steppe people are tribal, and the army is the property of each tribe. At that time, in the face of strong city defense, who to send up to be the first wave of death squads, who to send as cannon fodder, and who to send to consume...... This is a headache for the Prairie King.

At that time, no matter what decision or order the king of the steppe makes, there will always be people who are dissatisfied, and there will always be people who feel that they have been treated unfairly.

For in war, there will be death, and there will be injury. This bowl of water cannot be absolutely flat.

If it was first, the royal court was strong, even if some people were dissatisfied, they could only hinder the strength of the grassland king, and they could only swallow their anger and obey the drive. But now...... When these disgruntled people suddenly raised their heads and found that the high steppe king was no longer as powerful as before......

Du Wei smiled, and after saying this, he gently put away the dagger and put it into his sleeve.

The middle-aged nobleman pondered for a moment, frowned and said slowly: "This is indeed a variable. It's just that...... Will it get in the way of our plans?"

"I don't think so. Du Weiwei said lightly: "The stone of the grassland people, after all, we have to solve it in the end." What Panin is doing now will be beneficial to us in the end. That's right......"

Du Weiwei seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "That madman of the White King, is there any news lately? He won't really play this guy the Prairie King completely bad, right? This guy is a madman, he will do anything when he is crazy, although everyone is a relative, but I don't like this guy very much." ”

"Nothing else. The middle-aged nobleman hesitated: "I just secretly sent someone to contact me and ask for food." ”

Du sighed slightly: "It's almost the same, it's been so many days since the grassland people entered the country. The supplies of cattle and sheep they carried were also exhausted, and the strategy of clearing the wilderness in our territory was very thorough. These days they have been fighting, and they have collected very little food. Even if some were grabbed in Nulin Province, there were more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, and people had to eat horses and chew, and it was winter...... Well, you arrange it, get a few strongholds, and deliberately release flaws for them to occupy. It can also be regarded as giving them some food. Even if it's a dog. Always give a few bones to gnaw on regularly. ”

The middle-aged man was confident, and after a little thought, he immediately said: "The places to the east of us and Nulin Province are close to the town of Dal, and the small town of Motes, these two places have hoarded some grain. I will then order the defenders to withdraw, and then send a message to the steppe people, they will definitely send people to attack. Well, there is a lot of food hoarded in these two places, enough for them to support them for a few days. ”

"yes. Always let them support until the spring blossoms, until the day when the orcs go south. Du Weiwei seemed to be smiling.

......

............

In Chen Daolin's new city, just behind the temple in the city, in the mansion of the high priest who belonged to Chen Daolin. There is a remote yard.

There weren't many guards near this courtyard.

In fact, Chen Daolin had a limited number of soldiers and horses, and his own mansion never had many servants and guards.

As a magician, he only needs to set up magic circles in some important places. It's far more effective than having some guards in place.

The courtyard was so large that a large cellar was dug behind it when it was built.

The cellar was not dug too deep. It can only be regarded as half of the basement, and half of it is still exposed above the ground, and houses are built on it.

There are also several windows around the basement that are used for ventilation.

This is the place where Chen Daolin prepared the magic room for himself. Before the New Year, he had asked Master Kang and his disciples to build a few peculiar stoves in the back, and arranged some copper pipes, all of which were the thickness of the mouth of the bowl.

These copper pipes were not locally produced, but were ordered and shipped by Master Kang from the imperial capital.

Now, in this underground magic room, several stoves are hung with those thick copper pipes, which are twisted and twisted, as if they are a very large instrument.

At this moment, in the huge basement, there are only two people, Carmen and Chen Daolin.

Dean Carmen looked at an object placed in the middle of the basement, with curiosity and doubt in his eyes, and walked back and forth around this thing twice before sighing: "Darling Chen, this is ...... That's what you said, that's what...... Power, well, power core?"

Chen Daolin smiled: "To be precise, the name of this thing should be called the engine." ”

"Engine?" Carmen looked blank.

"Well, the magic engine. Chen Daolin smiled: "To be precise, it is a tidal magic engine prototype." ”

This series of strange names made Carmen obviously a little confused, but this was exactly the effect that Chen Daolin wanted, to be able to snort in front of this magic expert of the Roland Empire, which made Chen Daolin feel a little proud in his heart.

"This ...... And the car you got in the academy that you could walk on its own without magic...... Is it a thing?"

The meaning is the same, but the specifics are very different. Chen Daolin laughed, and then walked to the stove with Carmen first.

"Here, coal is used for incineration to produce heat. Well, you can understand that it is the production of the fire element.

The element of fire is used to absorb heat through these copper tubes. Well, because copper pipes conduct heat very well. I can't find a more suitable material for the time being. ”

Then Chen Daolin pointed to this one placed in the middle of the basement.

It was about three or four meters long, and it looked like an oval-shaped metal shell.

Chen Daolin lifted the lid on it with great force.

"Dean, you see, the copper pipe here is responsible for the introduction of heat energy, well, that is, the fire element. And then here, here is a barometric chamber...... This is the inhalation channel...... And then here, here is an outlet...... Here, I've got a little wind turbine that you can see, the inside of this thing. I made a small magic circle of wind elementals to use to draw in the wind...... And here, here are the tanks where energy is stored...... Here, this thing is called a piston. Uh, I don't know how to explain it to you. But ......"

Chen Daolin thought about it and simply walked to the stove, picked up a hammer, and struck a few hard blows on a copper pipe on the stove.

The sound of banging was carried down the brass pipe to the outside.

"This is my order, and the workers outside this real yàn will open a fire and burn the coal. ”

Soon, the fire was on fire. Outside the city, a large amount of coal is thrown into the fire.

This kind of furnace is similar to the kind of small blast furnace that Chen Daolin got in the real world for earth-based steelmaking, and the technical standard of this thing is relatively low, so it is not difficult to manufacture here.

Chen Daolin built this small blast furnace in order to get some low-grade steel that could barely be used—always higher than the metallurgical level of the world.

On top of that, this small blast furnace raises the temperature of the furnace and provides more heat energy, the so-called fire element.

Seeing that the blast furnace begins to burn, the heat is drawn by the copper pipes that conduct heat. Conduction......

The big guy who Chen Daolin called the "tidal magic engine prototype" lifted the lid and could clearly see the changes in it.

"I found a very special situation, at least as far as I knew. None of the documents of the existing magical civilization of the Roland Empire have been mentioned. This phenomenon, I call it, tides. ”

Chen Daolin's tone was a little smug, but he looked at Carmen. found that Carmen's expression did not change much, just staring intently at the "Tidal Magic Engine Prototype".

Chen Daolin was a little disappointed in his heart, but he continued to tell:

"All the elements of magic. In the process of operation, there is such a law, that is, the law of tides. You must have seen the high and low tides of the sea. Roughly speaking, when a magical element moves under the action of a certain force, after this power is exhausted, the magical element will have a return effect, that is, the effect of returning from the end to the beginning. If you use an analogy, it's like holding a pull-back dart in your hand, and when you throw it, it flies a certain distance and then flies back. It's like a pinball, you hit the wall and it bounces back. ”

Of course, the principle of a real tidal wave is completely different from that of a pull-back dart bouncy ball. But Chen Daolin can only use this analogy.

Otherwise, how do you ask him to explain the principle of tides under the influence of gravitational and lunar gravity to a native of the Roland Empire?

But even so, Carmen's eyes were already brightening!

Chen Daolin continued: "Of course, the effect of the tides does not mean that the use of magic elements can never stop, after all, energy is always consumed. The so-called perpetual motion machine does not exist...... However, it can greatly improve the use of this power. The utilization rate will increase very, very horrible. ”

Chen Daolin pointed to his seemingly rough "work".

"Thermal energy...... Oh, it's the fire element, after being absorbed, in this energy exchange room, I made a small fire magic array, where the fire element was completely stimulated, and the energy generated was unblocked from these tubes. And here, in the suction wind tunnel, I used a few small wind magic arrays to compress the wind and air. As long as the air and wind are compressed to a certain extent, and then transported to a closed place, let it detonate naturally, and the energy needs to find an outlet, it will be slammed out of these channels...... Well, I strengthened this channel, and I also used wind magic to compress the wind element inside the pipe, to be precise, to control the direction of the wind element......

You have to do it, because you might not imagine how powerful this power can be! If it hadn't been compressed with a magic circle, it would have exploded. ”

The more Carmen listened, the brighter her eyes became!

She couldn't help but get closer to the progress again, looking at the buzzing "Tidal Magic Engine", and saw that at the end of the engine, there were several special pipes, leading to one place.

And at the end, there was a thing, and a huge black cloth was shrouded in it.

At this moment, there was a faint glow under the black cloth, obviously something underneath was "lit up".

"What's down here?"

Carmen turned around and looked at Chen Daolin suspiciously: "Can you lift it up and show it to me?"

A smug smile appeared on Chen Daolin's face: "Of course, Lord Dean! This is the biggest surprise I want to show you today!"

"The biggest surprise? Isn't this tidal magic the biggest surprise?" Carmen's tone was very excited, but in addition to the excitement, there was a bit of sternness: "Do you know, Darling Chen! Just this discovery about the tidal action of the magical element is enough to write into the history of contemporary magical civilization! The Magical Society will compile this discovery of yours into the history of magic! Your name will appear in the textbooks of the Academy of Magic in the future!"

"No, no, no, the discovery of any principle must be applied to practical application, so that it is valuable. Chen Daolin smiled, walked over, and reached out to grab the corner of the black cloth: "Dean, this is the biggest surprise I have shown you today! With this tidal magic engine...... So, that's the solution to a huge puzzle that has been bothering me all along!"

Speaking of this, Chen Daolin paused deliberately, coughed again, and cleared his throat: "Below, it is the moment to witness the miracle!"

With that, he suddenly lifted the black cloth violently!

In an instant, Dean Carmen let out an exclamation!

The black pedestal, the black tube-shaped tube, the original black body, the tube has begun to condense a faintly glowing energy ball!

And under this energy cluster, the magic symbols that were originally covered with a pattern on the pedestal were faintly radiating light!

"Magic Cannon!!"

Carmen cried out. (To be continued......)
