Chapter 116 Metal Master

The old blacksmith Hammer's eyes widened, looking at the strange machine that was running very fast with astonishment and dazedness.

Its core is filled with the brilliance of magic, and the repulsion mechanism that can be described simply is reciprocating under the action of a simple magic circle and a series of mechanical structures. The heavy flywheel is driven by the connecting rod and crankshaft. Faster than any windmill, watermill, or crank cranked by human power, he knew very well how heavy that big iron wheel was, something that could easily break a human bone when turned, but it was driven like that, And it's easy to drive.

The two rune craftsmen standing next to him watched more and thought more.

They are servants trained by magicians. If the rune master is the "circuit engineer" who designs the blueprint of the magic circle, then the rune craftsman is the "mechanical engineer" responsible for manufacturing the mechanical part of the magic mechanism. What they understand in this regard, naturally Much more than the average blacksmith.

Rune craftsmen usually make all kinds of organs and magic props, and they are no strangers to the most basic gadgets, such as the repulsion magic circle, but they never thought that this simple, trick-level thing would actually It can produce such a magical effect - only a set of effective mechanical structure is needed to make the repulsion magic circle, which can only be used to push the trap door or the falling stone trap, automatically cycle and switch, although the entire magic energy engine is based on magic power. It is promoted, but its inner principle is completely different from any previous magic prop!

In the magic engine, magic is no longer the only, all-powerful power, it is no longer used rudely, but is transformed, amplified, and transformed into more... practical in more subtle and indirect ways. thing.

At first, they were asked to work with a group of blacksmiths and blacksmith apprentices. The rune craftsmen still had some resentment in their hearts, but after seeing the finished magic power engine, their resentment was involuntarily replaced by some kind of enlightenment. Now: they finally realized what the stewardess named Hetty had said to them when they had just arrived in this territory, "put aside all old thoughts and constraints, and submit to the new order of this land"— —The rules and constraints are nothing compared to the new things you see in this land.

A blacksmith apprentice stared at the constantly running magic engine, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "This is what we made..."

Hammer quickly interrupted his apprentice: "No, this is the wisdom of the Duke and Viscount, and Mrs. Hetty."

"No," Gawain interrupted Hammer's words, "this is what you made, no doubt, the honor goes to everyone who works hard, so those who contribute to the manufacture of the magic engine can not only get Rewards, and honors—every one of your names will be recorded, made into nameplates set on the first-generation Fel Engines, and recorded in Cecil's history books."

The craftsmen and apprentices looked at each other,

Hammer twisted his beard so hard that he didn't even notice that he accidentally tugged off a few. It wasn't until two rune craftsmen from the capital who had seen much of the world saluted and thanked the old blacksmith that he finally reacted and hurried. Follow along with thanks.

Gawain, on the other hand, withdrew his gaze and looked at the prototype of the magic engine that was still operating normally with uncontrollable joy and excitement.

It is very noisy, and the flywheel also drives the whole machine to vibrate violently during rotation. Due to the error in the accuracy of the parts, these are unavoidable problems. Gawain can be sure that a considerable part of the power of this machine will be in those Out-of-spec parts were rubbed off, and its output and overall lifespan was bound to be compromised, but those were the nitty-gritty details—and most importantly, the machine worked as it expected.

First solve whether there is or not, and then consider whether it is good or bad.

Gawain looked at the primitive machine almost fascinated, but suddenly, a trace of doubt and worry appeared in his eyes.

But this slight emotional change quickly disappeared.

On the other side, Hetty has already begun to test the power of this machine: she directly pressurizes the output shaft of the machine with Evocative Hand or Gravity Technique, and after several consecutive attempts, she can't help but speak with admiration: " This machine has a lot of power, I probably tried it, and it can even pull half a ton of iron straight up vertically when it's spinning at full speed, and if you use the pulley block or reduction gear you mentioned earlier, its I don’t know how much the power can be enlarged. In addition, this is because we use relatively cheap rune materials, and the connecting rods are also made of ordinary steel instead of stronger purple steel, so its room for improvement is quite huge.”

Rebecca doesn't know all kinds of useful auxiliary magic, and at this time, she can't throw a big fireball to test the machine's health bar, so she scratched her chin and thought about more practical things: "Master ancestor, do you think this machine is What can you do?"

Gao Wen gave the girl a funny look: "Tell me what you think."

"A lot of monotonous and repetitive work that requires a lot of strength seems to be able to be handed over to it, such as letting it bring the mill? The big saw that drives the sawmill? "

"It has many uses. It can drive a waterwheel, pull a minecart on the other side of the mine, pump water from the mine, drive a sledgehammer to forge steel, and with a suitable mold, it can also be like pressing a cookie. In that way, a whole piece of steel plate can be directly pressed into parts of armor or something - it can also be placed in a brick kiln to drive other machines to press bricks, instead of needing more than a dozen serfs to use wooden frame molds one by one. Ground billet..."

Gawain casually said what he thinks is the most important application direction at present, and the people around him are confused one by one. They have never had the concept of replacing labor with machines, even if there are windmills, mills and water conservancy mills in this world. Such things, that are also quite rough and rough, how could they suddenly think of various machines that can be connected to the magic engine?

On the other hand, Hammer couldn't help his eyes light up when he heard the use of a machine to drive a sledgehammer to forge steel and directly forge steel plates into armor parts. His professional intuition made him instantly realize that this was a bright road.

On the other hand, Rebecca's eyes were shining the whole time - basically, as long as Gawain pops up a usage in her mouth, a lot of lever bearings and gears can pop up in her mind, although those things are still there. She couldn't form a usable machine, but she felt that as long as she gave herself a little time, she would be able to toss out the things that the ancestors conceived one by one!

But at this moment, Heidi frowned and said with some worry: "The point is that we only have one machine... It takes time and effort to make a new magic engine, and it must be within the coverage of the magic net to operate. , which is very problematic."

While speaking, she pulled the lever to cut off the energy of the magic engine, and let it gradually calm down: the noise of this thing is not ordinary, it is spinning here, and everyone around has to shout.

"It doesn't cost much to build the magic net. After all, it's all basic runes, and blueprints are readily available. It's not easy to make machines, but it's a problem... The main reason is that it takes too much time to build these parts by hand," Gao Wen rubbed his chin, "But There is no way, we still have to build it manually..."

At this moment, a voice with a metallic vibrato suddenly interjected: "Cough, I have something to say."

Nicholas Egg, covered in silver and silver, slowly floated over.

Rebecca was happy when she saw this shiny metal ball: "Dan, do you have an idea?!"

"I'm not called Dandan!" Nicholas Egg immediately lifted two or three meters into the air (if it wasn't for the roof blocking it, I would have planned to fly higher), and the voice from the sphere was exasperated, "You should at least call me one. Master Egg!"

Rebecca was not frightened by the ball at all: "Ah good ball, do you have a solution?"

Nicholas Egg: "..."

"Don't compete with her, tell me your way," Gawain interrupted the upcoming war of words, and looked at the metal ball slowly returning to its normal height, "I know you are good at controlling metal ,Could it be that……"

"Yeah, I finally know what I can do here!" Nicholas Egg's voice sounded particularly pleasant. As he said, there was a clanging sound of various metal collisions everywhere in the shed, and those piled up in the corners The metal scraps that were about to be returned to the furnace were floated and pulled around the silver-white metal ball, "I can help you strike iron!"

As his voice fell, the metal scraps floating in the air creaked one by one, as if there was a huge pressure acting on their surface, they began to deform slowly, and Gawain soon It turns out that this deformation is not just an external force - some metals show obvious signs of melting, they are not only being squeezed, they are being forged!

In just a few minutes, these metals have turned into large and small, intricately structured parts, all kinds of bizarre gadgets, and even lifelike metal sculptures of everyone on site.

There was complete silence in the shed.

Nicholas Egg seems to be very satisfied with his performance. It proudly put those parts on the ground, and then sent the metal sculpture to everyone's hands: "How is it? Is this much more efficient than you?"

Hammer took over the metal sculpture that belonged to him, but his hands couldn't help trembling slightly - such a powerful ability... Is there still a need for a blacksmith on the territory in the future? !

Really like what the lord said last time, the blacksmith who beats things with a hammer will be useless? Will it be useless so soon?

The rune craftsmen at the scene were also terrified. Even Heidi and Rebecca were shocked and felt that with this ball, all the craftsmen working with metals in the territory would probably lose their jobs...

Only Gawain, although he was also shocked by the speed at which Nicholas Egg quickly shaped the metal form, but then his attention was completely on the other side——

He looked at the lifelike metal sculpture in his hand, at its eyebrows and hair that were precisely reduced in strict proportions, and suddenly raised his head to stare at Nicholas Egg: "How accurate can you achieve?!" js3v3
