Chapter 349: Practice
Jia went to the underground laboratory, because the copper bull occupied too much area, and Jia Yi was always banging and banging, it was too noisy, so Yang Xi and the others retreated and moved to the laboratory of the Ma family next door to do experiments, and they didn't mix with Jia Yi.
After all, this is Jiayi's home, and you can't drive Jiayi out, but fortunately, the sound insulation in the basement is very good, and the sound inside is completely inaudible outside, even if it is called a throat cut, it is useless, otherwise March, who still lives upstairs, will have to give advice.
Jia Yi walked to the copper bull, the copper bull has been dismantled by Jia Yi, I don't know what technology the copper bull is using, it seems to be formed in one piece, there is not even a seam in the whole, Jia Yi can only use the scorching ray to cut the copper bull whole, and then put it according to the joints and body parts.
Just like slaughtered beef is sorted, brisket and steak are sorted and sold at a higher price, and the right parts are selected for the right cooking.
Because the inside of the copper bull was damaged by the scorching rays, the scorching rays extended from the chest and shot diagonally upwards to the back, and the structure inside the entire chest cavity was destroyed, so it can only be seen a little roughly, and when Jia Yi used the scorching rays to cut the copper bull, although he was very careful, it was inevitable that the body of the copper bull was damaged, and the rune circle carved on the shell of the copper bull was destroyed, and some internal mechanical structures were also somewhat deformed.
The inside of the Bronze Bull is not a complete magical structure, but a mixture of magic and mechanics to manipulate the Bronze Bull's free movement.
This is a little different from the traditional magic puppet, of course, ordinary magic puppets are not completely without mechanical structure, but they are mainly magical, and the mechanical structure is relatively simple, most of them are joints and other places, only as auxiliary structures.
However, the mechanical structure of this copper bull is very complex, and the combination of magic is also very close, the copper bull uses a complex transmission mechanism inside, as well as a synchronous structure, which makes the copper bull's spell consumption much less, more energy-saving, so that the copper bull can maintain movement for a longer time.
And he also found a structure similar to the concentrating circle in the abdomen of the copper bull, which can slowly absorb the surrounding magic power and restore the mana storage when the copper bull is stationary, which is why, and hundreds of years, the copper bull can still run after Chester, without being damaged due to rust and metal aging.
The design of the Bronze Bull can be said to be very advanced, and technically speaking, it also has more advantages than traditional magic structures, and can make more powerful puppets when the magic strength is lower, and it is more durable.
But this only looks more wonderful in theory, even if a more powerful magic puppet is made, it can't change the fact that it can only increase combat power, but it can't improve the strength of the mage itself, so these can only be used as auxiliary businesses. Coupled with the long cycle and high consumption of puppet production, the entire puppet industry is declining more and more.
When the magic puppet has a peak and slowly declines, it is not that no mage has noticed the disadvantages of the magic puppet, and there are also mages who want to improve this, and at the end of the peak of the magic puppet, there have indeed been many ways to improve, and the one that Jia Yi sees now may be one of them.
But in fact, all the improvements to magic puppets are considered failures, and now the entire puppet production is classified under the branch of alchemy, and there are very few people who still specialize in this, just as an auxiliary means, and no one majors in this anymore.
Although this method of completely blending magic and mechanics seems perfect, the requirements for learners to be proficient in both magic and mechanical engineering are too high, if there is such a wonderful character, why should they plunge headlong into the backwater of mechanical golem manufacturing.
Moreover, the huge demand for resources of magic golems has not been alleviated, and as more and more golems are added, resources will only become more and more scarce.
So it's no wonder that when Jia Yi sees the information inside and the dismantled copper bull, he will feel strange for a while, and he has no impression of this kind of puppet at all.
However, Jia Yi told Yang Xi that it was not nonsense to study this thing, and that there were indeed some things that could be applied to skateboards. The subtle control system of this mechanical puppet gave Jiayi a lot of inspiration.
However, the paper is finally shallow, and Jia Yi decided to make one thing to practice his hands first.
The most suitable thing to practice is the drawing that Jiayi and they got, which is a complete practice puppet making drawing, which indicates all the required parameters, and because it is a practice drawing, the materials that need to be used are relatively very cheap, just use wood, and don't need any too precious magic materials.
In fact, he has too many choices, although the books he got back are all made of magic golems, but there are no specific drawings in them, just like a book about program development, there will not be a complete project, only some code snippets.
The blueprint of the magic puppet that Jia Yi brought back is a humanoid mechanical magic puppet for practice, and Jia Yi has finished reading the books that basically describe magic puppets, and he also has some understanding of magic puppets, and he knows that humanoid magic puppets are relatively high-end in practice puppets.
Because the humanoid golem only has two legs, the requirements for balance are higher, and if it is four legs or eight legs, then the error tolerance rate will be greater, and the precision of the production is not as high as the requirements for two legs.
You can stand with a little error in four legs, but if you don't balance your two legs well, the whole thing will fall, let alone fight or use it.
As soon as Jia found the wood, hid in the laboratory, and began to jingle and work, preparing to make his first magic puppet, he did not delve into the meaning of magic golems, but from the manufacture of magic golems, he found something new that he was interested in, if it really worked, he could really make something good.
To exaggerate, it's not impossible to say that it is impossible to change the world.
However, Jia Yi still overestimated his hands-on ability, if you just talk about the portrayal of the magic array, Jia Yi's hand, who has practiced sketching for many years, can be said to be very steady, not to mention the portrayal of the magic array, it is no problem to engage in carving, and for hand-made, Jia Yi made a pen and pendulum clock when he was very young, and he can't be a bad word.
However, when these two are combined, the problem arises, especially for wood, which is greatly affected by the surrounding temperature and humidity, and when the magic passes, it will also affect the properties of the wood, resulting in a fallacy in the accuracy of the original calculation.
Kaichi's first puppet was not really finished at all, he made the parts of each part, but after putting them together, it couldn't really work. Because the error is too large, the rune circle cannot be activated at all, and it cannot be connected together.
However, this first Jiayi didn't have any expectations, just to familiarize himself with the various parts.
After being familiar with the various parts of the puppet, Jia started to make real puppets, and the progress at the beginning was not ideal, but every time he was able to make new progress, Jia Yi himself felt very good.
Because no one in the academy is proficient in puppet making, Jiayi can only study it slowly by himself, if there is anything wrong or inaccurate, he can only make small artifacts by himself and slowly experiment one by one to find out the most suitable method.
Although Jiayi has a full set of drawings, you can't expect the drawings to be complete and without any omissions, in many details, the drawings are not very clear, and Jiayi himself has no other way but to keep experimenting.
Fortunately, there is still a bronze bull here, although the inside has been damaged, and at the same time, Jiayi violently cut it also destroyed part of the structure, but overall, it is relatively complete, and the reference value is still very large.
Although this bronze bull is four-legged, the balance requirements of the legs are lower than the two-legged puppet made by Jia Yi now, but the craftsmanship of the copper bull is actually higher than the wooden practice puppet that Jia Yi is making now.
