Chapter 101： Silly scorpion and meritorious deeds! (1/2)

After discovering that boiled water could not generate enough steam power, Gao Wen gave up the plan to build the classic steam engine of the earth.

But this does not mean that he gave up the goal of creating a universal, reliable and simple power machine.

He still remembers how in the world of his hometown, how industrial mass production has ruined all the inefficient production modes, including hand workshops, how the roaring machine has drawn the entire human civilization from the land and into the space age. . In the factory, raw materials are injected into the workshop like flowing water, and the end of the machine cluster will spew out tons of tens of thousands of products. The power of the machine can completely change the way a society operates. They can open mountains and cracks. It can also be filled with Haipingchuan. They can be stronger, more precise, more efficient, and more exhausted than any single human individual. These qualities that are above the natural person reflect the true power of human beings.

That is the power of thinking and creation.

Of course, Gao Wen is also very aware of the side effects of industrial production, such as pollution, such as excessive production efficiency pressure on natural resources, but the problem can be solved, but the survival is not negotiable, just as human diseases can heal, but you If you want to prevent illness and directly refuse to reincarnation, you can’t say it...

So whether it is to be able to survive the natural disasters including the magic tide, or to make yourself more comfortable in this backward world, or to understand the truth of the world, Gao Wen must put the technology tree Point it up, and in order to light up technology, the most basic thing is to solve the power problem.

Steam propulsion is a path that cannot be achieved, but many rules of the world in the macroscopic field can still be used. Gears can be used, levers can be used, waterwheels can be used, and thanks to the power of magic, many cannot be on earth. The technological developments that are skipped and need to be slowly accumulated can be directly jumped forward here, such as high-quality steel smelted based on magic technology, such as various alloys and crystals that are different from the earth but have excellent properties. Things have not been fully exploited in this world.

Or, people in this world have indeed discovered the usefulness of these things on their own technical routes. After all, outsiders are not stupid. However, due to worldview restrictions, they have never thought of using other methods to use these. thing.

Gao Wen looked at the cylinder structure on the drawing. He had already drawn the structure on the fork. Now he wants an alternative to replace the steam to power the entire unit.

What he can think of is still expansion work, or high-pressure air work, but where do the "sources of power" of these high temperatures and pressures come from?

He once thought that the Rebecca crystal explosion is also a kind of expansion. As long as it is used properly, the power of the explosion is also a kind of power. The essence of the internal combustion engine on the earth is actually a continuous "safe explosion" in the cylinder (deflagration). ), then, can the explosion caused by Rebecca crystals be controlled and guided, thus becoming a driving force?

After learning the principles of the crystal explosion, he had to give up the idea.

Rebecca crystals that use magic to create an explosion, and gunpowder on Earth are not a thing at all. The two "explosions" process are also very different.

The explosion produced by Rebecca Crystal is essentially a "spell". The power of the magical array pushes the energy in the crystal and forms an autonomous casting process. This spell effect is an "explosion", so it is in shock. Before the expansion, Rebecca Crystal first produced a spell effect, so if you put such a crystal into the cylinder, what would happen if you trigger the detonation array?

The cylinder will be detonated as an alchemy product...

Of course, Gao Wen can make this cylinder extremely strong, extremely thick, even thick and thick enough to fill the inside of the crystal can not be opened, then the bursting magic inside it can be promoted?

No, it will blow up the more fragile links, pistons and the like as a casting material, as long as these things are within the range of the spell's cast.

If the connecting rod piston and so on are all very strong, they will not be blown up. Only the crystal participates in the magic reaction?

Ok, this device may actually be able to do work at this time, but its volume will be extremely large because its outer diameter of the absolutely explosion-proof outer wall must exceed the range of the detonation array, depending on the core equivalent size, this outer wall It is very likely that it is a sphere with a radius of several meters to tens of meters, and there is no slight shrinkage. Once it shrinks, some of the outside of the device is within the range of the bursting effect. If the operator stands next to it, the operator will Detonated... Human being is one of the best magic materials.

Even if there are no operators next to it, the device itself will be enveloped in a constant explosion and detonate everything close to it.

This can't be used at all!

And because the "explosion" of the world is so special, the idea of ​​using Rebecca crystals to make guns was also abandoned by Gao Wen, at least giving up the idea of ​​using this crystal to launch: he could not put these crystals It is used as a propellant in the gun, because these propellants will directly create an explosion in the spell effect area during the casting process. When the gun is fine, the person who shoots must be blown up, and the one next to the station should also be blown up. ......

So what should he do with his work?

Steam doesn't work, the explosion doesn't work, fuel... He hasn't heard of the oil-like things in the world.

And it has to take into account the processing precision of the world today, even if he designs a usable prototype, it is also a matter for the blacksmiths to knock out the right parts.

But to be honest, he is not the most worried about this: he also remembers the secret silver safe that he turned out in the old house of Wangdu. The complicated magic lock in the safe is actually a very sophisticated institution. The class is not an ordinary blacksmith, a rune craftsman who specializes in the processing of magical items and has a higher status than the blacksmith.

Rune craftsmen are equivalent to advanced blacksmiths and carpenters. Although they have no ability to cast spells, they have some knowledge of the magic field, usually the "workers" that the magicians cultivated to create magical props for themselves.

Their craftsmanship is capable of creating something more sophisticated than ordinary irons and knowing how to safely process all kinds of magical materials.

Although the number of rune craftsmen is small, it is costly to build things (mainly the cost of magic materials), but if they can build a prototype for themselves, it is worth it.

There are rune craftsmen from the 100 technicians who come from Wangdu...
