Chapter 438 Exposed
The steam engine converts the energy of steam into mechanical work.
Simply put, it boils water and uses the expanding steam to push the piston to do work.
Based on the knowledge of the principle and structure, the most critical thing in manufacturing is precision.
In the past, it was impossible to complete it with the craftsmanship of the blacksmiths in this world, but it is different now. With Ronin and Sophia, two magicians with fire attributes, they can use mental power and magic to make high-precision structural parts. Combined with Simon's casting ability, it is completely feasible.
"Although it can drive the blades of the ship like magic power, in comparison, magic power consumes too many resources and is too inconvenient."
Simon held the blueprint with an incredible look, "But your steam engine consumes common fuel, even charcoal."
He looked at Ronin and exclaimed: "You have opened a new door! This thing will definitely be popularized in the future, and you will be the father of the steam engine!"
Sophia looked at Ronin with surprise and respect. It is also a common phenomenon in life. Others can make good use of it to make steam engines. Why don't they have any ideas in this regard?
Ronin was so happy about this sudden great title that he couldn't stop smiling. "We have to work together for all this."
Then everyone discussed the specific cooperation method and finally decided that Simon and Carlos would be responsible for the main structure, while Ronin would be responsible for the piston, cylinder and other parts with high precision requirements.
That night, a grand banquet was held in the Swamp Castle, and all the knights and officials were invited to attend.
This was not only a welcome to Sophia and others, but also a team building for Wubei Territory for a long time. After all, the subsequent construction of the territory and other matters still depended on them.
The next morning, Ronin rode Carlos and flew to the shore city with Sophia, Enilu, Petro and Harmon.
Before, the 13-meter-long dragon was a bit crowded to carry five people at a time. Now Carlos's trunk is 12 meters long, not to mention five people, five more people can sit.
"Sophia, are there dragons in your New Moon Continent?"
"Yes!"
Sophia said: "Black dragons with a bad temper, blue dragons who like gems, elemental dragons who like to compete, etc."
"There are so many!"
Ronin was a little surprised. He also understood why the other party didn't look particularly surprised when he said he had dragons.
Sophia smiled and said: "In fact, there are just more types. The number of dragons is still very small. Especially in the war a thousand years ago, almost all high-level dragons were killed or injured, and the remaining young dragons grew slowly."
She looked at Carlos: "If your dragon arrived in the New Moon Continent, its strength would probably be ranked in the upper middle level."
Although the lifespan of a dragon is long, it does grow very slowly.
If Carlos hadn't received Ronin's help, this legendary dragon might not have been able to enter the legendary level at the last moment of its life.
Carlos was very fast. He arrived at the Shore City in less than an hour and landed in the Shore Castle.
Because the dragon's figure was not covered, many people saw it, including Redar who was deploying defenses in the south. He rode a griffin and arrived at the castle.
Redar saluted with his chest, "My lord, long time no see!"
Ronin greeted with a smile, and then prepared to introduce.
But Sophia asked first: "Ronin, is this the Sun Knight you mentioned?"
As she spoke, she looked up and down at Redar, with a puzzled look in her eyes.
Redar nodded politely, "Welcome to you, lady. I am your follower, the commander of Wubei Territory, and the leader of the Fifth Knights of Wushan Castle, Redar Maine!"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand.
Sophia's eyes widened, and her slender fingers covered her slightly open mouth, still unable to hide her shock.
Ainilu and the other three beside her were also shocked.
"Reidar Maine, the commander of the Flame Expeditionary Army?"
Petro said in an incredible tone, "Oh my God, what happened to me!"
If it was just a coincidence of names, Sophia and others would not have thought of the Flame Expeditionary Army.
But the Reidar in front of them was not just a coincidence of names. The same strength, the same fiery red hair color, and even the same appearance...
So many similar information intertwined together, it was hard for them not to think of the commander who died in the battle.
"Uh..."
Reidar was a little at a loss.
He had received a letter from Ronin before, and roughly knew the origins of Sophia and others, so when he introduced himself just now, he did not show any strangeness for the other party's origins.
But he never expected that it would be like this.
Reidar looked at Ronin helplessly, and his eyes seemed to ask: "My lord, what should I do?"
Ronin scratched his head awkwardly, and now it was his turn to be shocked.
In his opinion, there were many strong people in the New Moon Continent back then, and Reidar was just a Prideful Sun Knight. Although he was a little powerful, he was not the kind of person who was recorded for thousands of years.
So Ronin didn't think Sophia and the others could recognize Redar. After all, they didn't show any familiarity when they met Elron.
"Ronin, please tell me what's going on?"
Sophia pointed at Redar and said, "How did Commander Redar, who led the Flame Expedition to kill Shadow Lord Elliot, become your subordinate?"
At this moment, Ronin seemed to understand why they could recognize Redar.
Slaying the Shadow Lord is indeed a record.
His mind raced. How could this situation be explained?
"Do you believe in the Seven Gods?"
Unable to bring out his own abilities, Ronin had to pull the matter to the gods.
Sophia shook her head: "I don't believe it."
Ronin was speechless. Why did everyone say that the Seven Gods would bless him, but Sophia didn't believe it?
"The Seven Gods are just people's reverence for the seven elemental forces. Rather than the Seven Gods, they are the heart of the world."
Ronin spread his hands, "Well, anyway, this is hard to explain."
He changed his mind and made up a new story, "To put it simply, a space-time rift suddenly appeared in front of me, and Redar came out of the rift. I saved him, and then he followed me."
Space-time rift?
The hero from more than a thousand years ago did not die in battle, but was involved in the space-time rift, and then appeared more than a thousand years later?
Although Sophia was skeptical about this statement, there seemed to be no better explanation.
Space magic is a field that can only be involved in legends, and it is indeed full of mysteries.
Sophia and others looked at Rydal, as if to verify.
"What the lord said is true."
Rydal said honestly: "I did travel through time and space, and then came here unexpectedly."
In order to convince people, he further said: "At the beginning, my memory was incomplete. As my strength gradually recovered, I gradually remembered what happened in the past."
"In the battle of the Flame Canyon, although Elliot was killed, the expeditionary army was completely wiped out. It was a tragic battle!"
When the Flame Canyon came out, they were completely convinced.
"Your sacrifice bought us precious time!"
Sophia's eyes were full of respect, "You are heroes!" (End of this chapter)
