Chapter 77 The New Furnace

Interference-type magic circles - it must be admitted that although Gawain Cecil is half a naturalist, and knights have a lot in common with other legal professions in the basic field of using magic, but it really involves those In a subtle and professional field, Gawain's knowledge is still a bit insufficient. He inquired from Hetty's side before he understood what was special about the magic circle engraved in those antique crystals.

In short, they are "scoped".

This type of array can operate on energy storage devices within a specific range, without having to be engraved on the surface or inside of the energy storage device, or in other words, as long as the key nodes on the array are connected to the energy storage device, the effect can be launch. In this respect, the interference-type array is very similar to the common large-scale array. The large-scale array is to build a magic array, and then place a magic power source such as an energy storage crystal on the key nodes of the magic array as an energy source. , of course, this structure does not belong to engraving the array in the crystal, but in fact, there is an essential difference between the interference-type array and the common large-scale array.

The interference-type array is usually very small, the scope of action is also very small, the function is more single, and its own rune structure is not complete, the energy storage part and the rune part must be combined to be a complete "actuator". ", so this kind of interference-type magic circle is usually used as a "starting mechanism" to simply control the opening and closing of some magic power sources, or...

Used to blow up the source of magic.

Gawain understands why the magisters of Gondor in those days engraved an interference-type magic circle in these military crystals - it stands to reason that since they have already stuffed these runes inside the crystal, there is no need to spend any more effort on it. It is set to interference type, but the actual problems that soldiers have to face on the battlefield are much more complicated - not all military crystals can remain intact throughout the battle. Damage is the normal state of this type of crystal. At this time, the magic circle part of the core of the crystal may still be able to operate due to proper protection, but the entire crystal has actually disintegrated.

In this case, the rune experts in the military industry of Gondor have thought of one point: at least make sure that the self-destruction function of these crystals can still be used at the end.

Therefore, the self-exploding part of these crystals uses an interference-type magic circle, which ensures that even if the crystal shatters, it can be blasted by throwing a shard—as long as there is a little energy left in the shards.

"I just don't know what the effect will be when these crystals are gathered together in large numbers and detonate at the same time," Gawain touched his chin, and began to think in his mind, "Or use something to bond them together? And it is still unclear about them. How did it form? Only a small part of the large number of samples sent by Rebecca was mixed with this crystal..."

Hetty looked at Gawain's face, she could feel that the other party's interest was at an all-time high, which made her a little confused: although she was also very happy that these strange crystals could come in handy, she couldn't imagine these other than How valuable is the "magic crystal" that has no other use other than the explosion: "Ancestor... You look very happy?"

"How can you be unhappy?" Gawain turned his head and glanced at Heidi, "Don't you think that once these things come in handy, they will have a huge effect?"

"Well...if it is processed properly, it may be used as an explosion-type magic item. It is indeed useful for a mages of ordinary strength like me and Rebecca. It can also be distributed to soldiers as auxiliary weapons," Hetty has already put himself His imagination was stretched to the limit, "but beyond that I can't think of anything else it could be used for."

Gawain looked at Heidi's somewhat confused expression, opened his mouth, but found that it was difficult for him to make the other person understand the picture that was emerging in his mind.

No one living in the Middle Ages would have imagined those scenes until they saw the explosion of explosives and industrial mass production with their own eyes.

So he simply did not explain, but raised the sheepskin bag in his hand: "I leave these samples to you, to be honest, there are not many, you try to determine their various properties before consuming them all, By the way, try the 'detonation circle' in the Gondor crystal to see if it works for them. I'm going to find Rebecca and find out how the girl tossed these things out."

Heidi took the sheepskin bag in Gawain's hand with dignity, and then seemed to think of something, and specially mentioned: "Ancestor, Rebecca is a very hard-working child, but she has hardly been praised since she was a child. ,so……"

"Don't worry, I will praise her well," Gawain smiled, pointing to the sheepskin bag in Heidi's hand, "I have even decided to call these crystals 'Rebecca crystals' - if that girl If we can reproduce these crystals."

After saying this, Gawain told Hetty to pay attention to safety and do a good job of protection when testing the detonation circle, and then left the magic laboratory.

And until Gawain left, Hetty didn't have the embarrassment to say what was really in her heart—in fact, what she meant was to let Gawain praise Rebecca for a while. That child has never been praised since he was a child. Well, maybe I'm going to jump to the sky...

But forget it, since the ancestor is so happy, it's better not to spoil his interest.

Anyway, Rebecca is resistant to beatings and optimistic. It's really a big deal to hit the sky...

After Gawain left the magic laboratory, he went straight to the place where Rebecca tried to make cement, but he was in vain. There were only a few workers in the furnace area to clean up the burnt residue, and after inquiring, he found out that it was Rebecca has already gone to the "Steel Factory" side.

The basics of the magic net have been completed, the first furnace has entered the final stage of installation, and Rebecca has gone over to supervise the work early in the morning.

Gawain checked the slag cleaned out of the kiln and confirmed that there were no crystals mixed in it, so he set off for the "Steel Factory" on the east side of the camp (although a shelf had just been erected).

As soon as he came to this place that was called the "Blacksmith's Shop" not long ago, Gawain realized that he was right to leave this matter to Rebecca.

The courtyard where a large number of ravines were once dug for the purpose of burying the magic circle has now been re-leveled properly. There is no trace of the magic circle on the tamped ground, and the only thing that can prove that the magic circle is buried under it is the surface of the yard. There is a neatly arranged silver-white column every ten meters.

Those pillars are the original version of the magic sensor plated with mithril.

In addition to these "sensors" protruding from the ground and more than one meter high, Gao Wen also saw a lot of neatly arranged slates in the yard. These slates are distributed between the sensor columns with equal spacing, but Only half the yard is covered.

Glittering runes can be seen on the surface of the slate.

Gawain vaguely guessed what these slates were used for.

The entire project was beautifully and reasonably completed. Not only was the magic array properly "packaged", but also the neatly arranged columns and slates were so pleasing to the eye, so strict and precise, even if they knew They are the product of handicraft rather than industry, and Gawain still feels immensely satisfied as an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Neat, neat is king! Rebecca really fully understood all the requirements that Gawain gave her, and she also thought of the need for this place to expand production capacity in the future! Those places where slate has not been laid are also reserved, obviously for the future!

There were many people busy in the yard, carrying tools and cleaning the remaining materials, but Rebecca's figure was still easy to find, because Gawain saw the large black furnace in the corner of the yard at a glance, and he was dancing around the furnace. The conductor's head iron fireball doll.

"Be careful, be careful... This structure must fit the slate completely! Don't be perfunctory! Accurate, accurate, do you understand... If you can't stick it, you won't eat meat, you understand it this time!! Hey hey Don't put the iron rod next to it, I'll put the sub-rune on it later... Where's the drainage tank? Move the drainage tank here... Let me take a look at the blueprint!"

Looking at Rebecca, who was so excited and immersed in work, Gawain couldn't bear to disturb her. He stopped a few serfs who were terrified and wanted to salute when they saw his face, and raised his head, looking at him with admiration. at the newly installed furnace.

It's a...beautiful furnace, more than four meters tall compared to the old furnaces that were just over a meter high, and completely dark (this is because blackstone powder was mixed in the materials for the construction of the furnace to further enhance the magic pro- It abandons the traditional "pot-bellied furnace" structure and adopts a cuboid furnace as the main structure. At the upper end of the cuboid furnace, three parallel chimneys can be seen, and the right side of the lower end is You can see a protruding rectangular plane, on which is engraved an uncomplicated rune array. Part of the array extends all the way to the front of the furnace. There is a metal plate that seems to be movable. The metal plate There is also a pedal-like thing connected to the bottom with a link, which seems to be some kind of control mechanism.

Since the control mechanism is located at the front, the openings for replenishing fuel, pouring in ore, taking slag, and exporting molten metal are all located behind and on the left side of the furnace body.

This is neither like any kind of furnace on Earth known to Gawain in his previous life, nor is it completely different from the traditional furnaces of this world, and it does not even fully match the blueprint that Gawain originally handed over to Hammer—

Obviously, the old blacksmith used his brains to improve the drawings.

In Gao Wen's view, this kind of improvement is excellent, whether it is the result of the improvement, or the "improvement" itself is excellent.

It was only at this time that Rebecca noticed that the people around her had become quiet for some time, and everyone had a look of awe. She looked around in a daze, and then she saw the people who were spinning around the stove. Ancestors.

The little girl was shocked: "Ah! Lord Ancestor! Why are you here?"

"I have something to look for you - but now I have seen your progress by the way," Gawain waved his hand with a satisfied smile on his face, "To be honest... it's better than I thought."

"Really?!" Rebecca suddenly looked overjoyed, "Do you really think so?"

"If you can't do these things well, I will definitely not let you be responsible for it long ago," Gawain couldn't help smiling, "Be confident in yourself, as I said, you are the pride of the Cecil family."

When Rebecca heard this, her face almost rose to the sky...

(Mom, it's on the shelves tomorrow!)
