Chapter 24: Trying to Be a Light Bulb, I Can No Longer Turn Into a High Beam!

"You won't become a monster, John. Look at me, kid. If you don't want to hurt others, you can control this power."

Ryan comforted the panicked child. He stood up and put his hands on his waist. With the roar, the transformation ring covering the dragon's claws emerged.

But this time Ryan lowered the brightness and just kept the gentle light.

He tilted his body slightly, and his right hand turned and stretched out his palm forward again.

"Henshin!"

Ryan gathered his hands in front of his forehead, and then suddenly swung his palms down and slapped on both sides of the transformation ring.

(Wait, after covering the dragon's claws, Agito's transformation posture seems to change. Forget it, never mind.)

Ryan still couldn't complete the transformation, but it didn't prevent the carapace scales and dragon horn compound eyes of Yaoguang Agito from temporarily appearing on the surface of the body. The fierce and violent aura didn't match the handsome and atmospheric appearance of the leather suit, and it looked more biological.

But Ryan's eyes remained clear, and he was not tamed by this violent power. Instead, he tamed these powers for his own use.

A few seconds later, Agito's power began to fade, and Ryan's body gradually returned to normal. Only one arm was barely maintaining the transformation state, and even his clothes were not damaged, as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion of Little John.

But his hand was held by Ryan's dragon claws, and those sharp scales had no malice, and gently conveyed the warmth of light.

"As long as you study hard, strengthen your will and determination to protect innocent people, you will never lose yourself in power."

Those scales gradually faded, and Ryan's body completely returned to normal.

He let go of Little John's hand, who was looking at the indentation on his skin caused by the contact with the scales just now, and was in a daze there.

Little John murmured: "My Lord, how can I control this power like you? I don't want to cause trouble to others."

Ryan scratched his head. Is it almost time to enter the parenting stage?

Whether it is a knight or a warhammer, if you can't play the role of a father or mentor well, it's easy to have big problems.

Ryan gathered his mind and said seriously:

"Remember, John, people who can work towards a goal can be called comrades. I may be your guide, but I will never be your father or something like that, because I am also exploring this world in a strange place, and I am not qualified to teach you things that I don't know myself. Your most urgent task now is not to worry about causing trouble to others, but to face the changes in your body and complete the school's learning tasks to the best of your ability. You must not show disdain and contempt for others just because you have the same power as me."

Ryan paused, then stared at the child and said in a low voice:

"Individuals that leave the population are no longer the same creatures. When you feel that you are not compatriots with ordinary people, differences and privileges arise, and injustice comes to this world."

Little John remembered what Ryan said firmly. Although he didn't quite understand it, there was one thing that was clear, and it made him very happy.

That is, he is still a human being, not a monster.

Little John, whose body had just completed a stage of evolution, soon felt tired. The medical staff brought him a bowl of porridge to comfort him and let him rest.

Ryan left the hospital and walked on the street in the dark. Looking at the unfinished curbstones on the roadside, he always felt that something familiar was missing.

Yes, we should plant some more trees on both sides of the road, and then reserve space for street lights.

It's so annoying. The steel that can support the strength of the steam engine cannot be made now. The people here can't understand the principle of electromagnetic induction for a while. There is no knowledge of transformers and energy storage. How did the predecessors who traveled through the novels come up with these things!

Even if he watched a lot of course videos on a famous bullet screen website "University", he was seriously ill and had no ability to practice at all.

Now even if he was given all the materials for a light bulb circuit, it would take time for trial and error to assemble it.

It's uncomfortable. Anyway, I can't sleep tonight. That means the two big guys don't need to chat. I have to think about whether I can make the most portable and low-level light bulb circuit.

At least when Bryce and his friends had meetings at night, they didn't have to light candles. He sorted out the various designs in his mind in the middle of the night, and he didn't need to call the changing ring to work overtime.

Ryan went to the foundry of Second Terra, but it was already closed there.

The existing production capacity was enough to equip the musketeers with enough equipment within a month, but they would not produce too many, and it would be enough to maintain 500 people.

The flintlock rifle would eventually be replaced by a non-automatic rifle.

When the standard bullets replaced the projectiles, these bullets with gunpowder only needed the firing pin to hit the rear of the shell to detonate the gunpowder and shoot the bullet. That is, the so-called bolt, non-automatic rifles, will soon replace the flintlock.

Ryan was looking for metals that could be melted as conductive lines and filaments in the workshop, and he also saw some notes from engineers.

These original blacksmiths have been exploring new alloy formulas since they heard that adding different impurities to pig iron during the smelting process to make steel alloys can have unprecedented strength.

Some illiterate engineers would shamelessly ask their apprentices who were still in school how to write numbers and most common metals.

Ryan read these notes and looked at the crooked words on them, and couldn't help laughing.

No matter how much knowledge one has in his head, it is limited.

If the craftsmen of this world can be encouraged to think about how to advance technological progress in advance, more preparatory stages of technological development can be completed. At that time, combined with the stages of technological development that he knew in advance, this feudal world will be able to explode with unprecedented technological explosion.

Maybe a year later, steam locomotives will be able to run on the rails all over Turin, and every household will be equipped with electric lights, and people will no longer worry about bread and beer.

Ryan found a pen to circle the obvious mistakes in these notes and wrote down his opinions.

Then he returned to his residence with some materials he found.

His room is upstairs from Bryce. The old guy has been sleeping very soundly recently, after all, he is too tired during the day. He handles many specific and trivial matters. When each city department can take charge of its own affairs, Bryce will not have to work so hard.

Ryan closed the door, placed the materials he brought on the table, fiddled with the polished magnet in his hand, recalled the direction of the winding coil, and chanted the name of Omnissiah in his heart.

The principle of magnetoelectricity is very simple, and it will be mentioned in junior high school physics.

When the conductor of a closed circuit moves to cut the magnetic flux lines, an electric current will be generated.

Theoretically, as long as a large enough magnetic object is found and the circuit conductor is installed in a place with sufficient water flow or wind, an electric current can be generated continuously.

Later, it should not be a problem to distinguish between direct current and alternating current, and stabilize the lighting of a room.

But if it is to support the power supply of the entire municipal department or even residential houses, it requires not only the power generation process, but also a voltage-stabilizing transformer, sufficient circuit laying and switch installation to complete it.

Without voltage regulation tools, the circuit will sooner or later be damaged because the unstable water flow or wind force cannot maintain a smooth power supply.

There is no way to ensure that the current divided by each parallel circuit is within the safe range and is only used for electric lighting without burning the whole house.

Forget it, let's try to get the electric lighting of one room first.

Ryan took a deep breath to concentrate, wrote down the corresponding knowledge points on the draft paper, and then began to try to make a simple magnetoelectric device.

The circuit switch is a simple switch inlaid with a porcelain base. As long as the switch is pulled down, the circuit will be closed.

He did not have an ammeter at hand, and could not judge whether the current was generated normally.

Then came the light bulb.

Most modern people know the great inventor who tried many kinds of materials to make filaments, and he used carbon filaments.

The most widely used filament material in the 21st century is actually metal tungsten.

However, the second Terra could not get metal tungsten, and there was no time to refine it now, so Ryan could only use carbon filaments instead.

Even though the life of this material is too short, it can only be used as a makeshift at present.

Carbon filaments need to be energized in a vacuum environment. In theory, a copper sheet is placed between the filament and the wall of the bulb, and the most basic vacuum triode can be invented.

But it was too early to think about this now. Ryan was still busy looking for a place to burn glass in the middle of the night.

Anyway, his body was extremely fast, and he would not be caught as a pervert if he ran on the repaired city roads in the middle of the night.

It took a lot of effort to use telekinesis and furnace to burn a glass cup into an arc. At this time, a sleeping new priest did not know what Ryan had done with the glass and porcelain donated to the church by the nobles.

Ryan used telekinesis to make a circuit hole on the plug, connected the carbon filament and the circuit together, and then began to exhaust the air in the glass cavity.

It must be said that this increasingly sophisticated telekinesis gave Ryan a great convenience, otherwise many industrial technologies could not be tested in Second Terra.

After the first prototype of the light bulb was born in Second Terra, it was already dawn, and even Ryan himself was a little dizzy and tired.

If he had known that he should have arranged craftsmen to do these things during the day, he could have also exercised the skills of these craftsmen.

Ryan thought helplessly that he really wanted to lie down in this world, but when he thought that the cruelty of the Warhammer universe would come soon, in order to keep the people here alive and promote the progress of this feudal world, he should work harder.

The magnet was installed on a simple hand crank handle, and Ryan shook it quickly, just like an old tractor that needs to step on the engine and shake the rocker before it can start.

In Ryan's telekinetic perception, the carbon filament was only slightly hot, and no light came out.

Ryan had no choice but to give up the hand crank power generation and directly use telekinesis to increase the speed of the rocker by dozens of times.

At the same time, these circuits were controlled in the air by telekinesis to avoid leakage or contact with other substances.

Finally, when the rocker made a squeak under the heavy load, the carbon filament finally emitted a bright light and became red and hot.

But it was still a little short of the white light. Ryan thought about it and thought it might be because the machine soul was unhappy. After tossing all night, he praised Omnissiah once.

But things weren't that twisty after all. At least Ryan didn't have to experiment thousands of times like Edison before succeeding.

After the heat of the charcoal wire reaches a certain level, it finally changes from red hot light to white light, conforming to the red light of the sun rising slightly in the distance in front of the window, as if it wants to challenge the sun with its own light.

Click!

The handle that rocked the magnet broke and fell heavily to the ground.

But Ryan had no regrets, because the night's efforts were finally successful.

Next, we just need to find a way to get a larger magnet to perform magnetic and electrical motion to provide sufficient current.

The water channel has been connected to the city's water supply. A water storage tank can be made and placed on the roof of the building to install a faucet to drain the water. The impact gear module drives the magnetic wire cutting, eliminating the need for manual control.

After the transformer stabilizer can be produced, the power generation device can even be built directly in the water channel to try to provide power supply for the entire Second Terra.

Ryan was thinking about this day when there was a knock on the door behind him.

Bryce, who had just woken up, said seriously:

"Sir, the guards on night patrol claimed that they saw a shadow with flashing white light walking through the city last night. We suspect that there is a certain danger. Do you have any clues?"

Ryan asked Bryce to come in, show off his results, and said:

"You tell the guards that that person is me. I made a small thing myself last night and went back and forth to find some materials. Don't worry."

Bryce breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it might be other magicians who had infiltrated Second Terra.

Although the magician who controlled the bugs is dead, it is inevitable that other dangers will invade.

But Bryce looked at the broken handle and the glass ball that was emitting strange heat and asked:

"Sir, what is the use of this thing?"

Ryan explained: "This glass sphere is called a light bulb. When you turn this device manually, you can generate current on the metal conductor and then emit bright light in a vacuum environment. With this thing, the conference room does not need candle lighting. This thing can Make a room look like it’s daytime. It’ll be much more convenient if you have an emergency meeting at night.”

Bryce's face twitched a little, and he said: "That's okay. Many department staff are working hard recently, so we can just hold a regular meeting every week. However, sir, with this thing, if you encounter danger at night , don’t we need you to shine with the things that appear on your waist?”

Ryan's eyes became serious and he nodded: "That's right, I no longer need to become a high-beam knight."
