Chapter 533 Angel Loom
In the spacious and bright magic laboratory, researchers wearing standard magician robes gathered around the experimental bench, and the bright light of the magic spar was cast from directly above, clearly illuminating the real object on the experimental bench-in a piece of copper. On the one-foot-square metal sheet, the mysterious elemental runes and magic-guiding lines are arranged in an orderly magic array, and the nodes between the arrays flicker like breathing, forming a complete magic cycle. Every time the magic power is cycled, it is outputting energy steadily.
Repeated cycle, stable and continuous, efficient and concise.
The mages wearing the standard robes stretched their necks, looking at the sheet metal plate on the experimental bench with joy and excitement, and a little nervousness. Even the older mages held their breaths together with the young people, As if afraid that a single breath would affect the magic power cycle of those runes, in the silent laboratory, only a young black-haired female mage was clearly reporting the numbers: "Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty... "
Gradually, some of the surrounding mages broke the silence, and counted along with the female mages in a low voice: "Thirty-one, thirty-two..."
In the last few numbers, everyone couldn't help but speak. In the huge laboratory, a group of the most wise people read in unison like apprentices who had just learned to count: "Thirty-nine, forty, four Eleven...forty-two!!"
The number stopped abruptly at forty-two, and after a brief silence, almost everyone cheered: "Forty-two! One cycle is complete!!" "Stable operation, no interference!" "We succeeded!"
In the middle of a group of cheering imperial mages, the young black-haired female mage Marie applauded with everyone in a slightly restrained and awkward manner. She raised her head and looked at the only person who did not cheer—the old high-level mage Standing beside the experimental bench, still wearing the thick and old mage robe, when everyone cheered, the expression on his face was like a stone carving, as if he was an outsider who had nothing to do with this scene.
It wasn't until everyone cheered for half a minute that the old mage raised his hand slightly.
The crowd around the experimental bench quickly quieted down. They looked at the old man in black robe one by one, and each person's eyes gradually became more respectful.
In the magician's world, only knowledge and power are respectable capital, and this old man named Daniel has both.
At least at this moment, everyone in this lab no longer cared about the squirming artificial nerve cords behind Daniel, or the old mage's erratic temper and sarcastic way of speaking.
"This is the magic net, the Typhonian's own magic net," Daniel's sullen eyes swept across everyone's face, and his wrinkled face seemed to squeeze a smile,
Although he was smiling, there was a hint of sarcasm in that smile, but he was known to have a weird temper, and no one would doubt it, "Now, we have cracked the secrets of the Ansu people, but this is just It's just the first step."
The surrounding mages nodded, and some echoed: "Yeah, we have to find a way to miniaturize it, and how to quickly mass-produce it..."
"It is said that the magic net unit of the Ansu people is only the size of the palm, but the efficiency is comparable to the big guy we made," Daniel nodded, "so the next goal is how to reduce it. As for mass production... we The repulsive piston power machine has been trial-produced, and now there is a stable energy source, as long as the first stamping machine is running, the magic net and the machine will naturally be able to replicate themselves."
"Making machines with machines..." a gray-haired magician said convincingly, "Master Daniel, you are truly a genius."
"It's a pity that the Ansu people started earlier and went further than us. It is said that they not only made machines that can work, but even made machines that can cast spells - His Majesty the Emperor is deeply disturbed by this, so we can't Stop here."
"A machine that can cast spells..."
The mages discussed buzzingly. These supernatural beings from all over Typhon, with excellent minds and insights, and good at studying various unpopular fields, can naturally realize the deep meaning of Daniel's words. They are shocked by this concept that challenges common sense. , and even some panic and resistance, but they can imagine the meaning behind this technology. For them, this thing is like a taboo field of deviance - but now, the mission given to them by the emperor of the empire is deviance, that is, to study the taboo .
A strange sense of excitement motivated them, and they were nervous but eager to try.
Daniel left the laboratory, leaving the imperial magicians around a pile of runes to continue their excitement, and the apprentice Mary followed behind him.
"No wonder His Majesty the Emperor is recruiting researchers from outside the Royal Society of Mages," Mary followed in her mentor's footsteps. She has been working in this imperial research facility for some time. This life is different from the previous life in the Mage's Tower. Her original rabbit-like personality has also changed slightly, at least, now she dares to express her opinion, "Probably only these people will not have such great resistance after hearing the concept of 'a machine that can cast spells', but instead Will it arouse interest in research?"
"That's still a bunch of idiots...just a little smarter than the stupidest," Daniel said bitterly, "This kind of achievement can actually satisfy them... They don't know what's behind it. Amazing math."
Mary wanted to say that things had to be done gradually, and that people who had not been exposed to Rune Logic would not be able to think so far after seeing the Weave for the first time, but she knew that if she said that, the teacher would definitely be angry, so she He wisely shut his mouth.
Daniel was in a pretty good mood at the moment. He raised his head and looked ahead, looking at the long and straight corridor in this imperial research facility, as well as the neatly arranged rooms on both sides of the corridor, and the coming and going of mages, scholars and alchemists teachers.
This is the "Imperial Workmanship Association" established by Emperor Typhon Rosetta personally. It can be seen from the name alone that this is an organization completely different from the Royal Mages Association, various artisan associations and scholars associations. Here, people with knowledge and skills are integrated to work together to create practical new things and new technologies. Since the facility was built seven years ago, several technologies that can affect the entire empire and even epoch-making have been produced here— - For example, the burning rock acidification technology, the new road construction technology, and the new white crystal production technology that reduces the cost to only one-tenth of the original cost, which has been promoted nationwide.
The facility was created by Emperor Rosetta, and its specific design—including the style of the laboratory—was the work of Windsor Maple, president of the Royal Society of Mages. The guildmaster with the reputation of genius radically reformed the regulations of traditional mage buildings, replacing the old dark, cramped, mysterious but useless private laboratories with large and bright laboratories.
It is said that many traditional mages disdain the laboratory in the "Imperial Workers' Association", thinking that it has lost the mystery and nobility of mages, but in Daniel's view——
"Windsor has some merit in the design lab."
He is very satisfied with the new laboratory designed by Windsor Mapel, because this spacious and bright environment reminds him of the "experimental space" created by the owner.
Mary followed Daniel and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, are we going back?"
Daniel nodded slightly: "Well, you go to the office to sort out the information first."
Mary responded, but before she left, a group of researchers with excited expressions suddenly walked out from the corner not far ahead. After recognizing those people, Daniel and Mary immediately stopped.
"Ah! Master Daniel!"
The crowd who came not far away had noticed Daniel's mentor and apprentice-whether it was because of his own strength and knowledge, or because of the introduction of the president of the Royal Mages Association, Daniel already had a high status in this facility. , so those people greeted when they were far away, and when they came to them, Daniel nodded as a response: "I'm about to go back - why are you so excited?"
"Ah, you should wait, we've got something for you to see!" A scholar in a white robe smiled brightly, "There's a bold and clever man - a man from Angel The watchmaker has brought an interesting machine, and if you invent a repulsive piston engine that solves the energy problem, that machine could come in handy!"
"A machine brought by the watchmaker?" Daniel raised his sparse eyebrows slightly, and his tone was playful, "What is it for?"
"Driven by the water wheel, it can weave cloth!"
Daniel's expression didn't change. He just stood quietly for a while before saying softly, "Oh... this is really good news."
...
Cecil City, in the Lord's Mansion.
Gao Wen's pen for reviewing documents suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked at the wall in front of him as if he was out of focus. After a while, he let out a slight sigh and his expression became very serious.
Amber, who was waiting by the side, immediately noticed Gawain's strangeness, and she looked over curiously: "What's the matter? Written in vain again?"
Gawain shook his head slightly: "No, time has suddenly become urgent."
In Typhon, which is not very far away, a machine called the "Anger Loom" appeared.
The loom itself is not a very shocking creation. In fact, in Cecil, practical spinning machines and looms have already entered the stage of industrialization and practicality, but "a watchmaker of Typhon created a practical machine, and Sent it to the Imperial Research Facility" itself, but it reminded Gawain like an alarm bell.
The development of Typhon is about to accelerate, and it will enter the next era at any time.
Emperor Rosetta has created an advanced imperial system, which is naturally showing its power - after decades of centralization, transformation, exploration, construction and accumulation, Typhon's society seems to have accumulated. Breaking free from the power of the agricultural era, more and more artisans with knowledge and skills have spared no effort to turn their experience into technological products, and more and more scholars have turned their attention to practical industries in the environment of economic openness, and even even Typhon's wizards... have already started to walk out of the wizard tower.
After so much accumulation, a brave watchmaker finally sent the machine he invented to the imperial research facility, and this machine will definitely get the attention of Rosetta Augustus - the emperor with great talent will not Ignore the role of this machine, and after this instance happened, the incentives of Typhon's technical craftsmen can be imagined, and the speed of development of Typhon... can also be imagined.
In this world with magical powers and many technologies transforming from theory to practice at an astonishingly fast rate, once the "industrial revolution" starts, its development speed will only be faster than on Earth.
At this moment, Gawain was extremely grateful that he sent Daniel to Aldenan in time.
He raised his head and looked at the curious Amber next to him: "Go and call Pittman and Carmel - and Heidi and Rebecca."
