Chapter 178 Steam Engine, Magic

Although today, it is not possible to mass-produce guns on a large scale.

However, the opportunity for large-scale mass production of guns has now emerged.

Because the steam engine that the dynasty valued most had finally been researched and was being prepared for final debugging.

Originally, due to the lack of good sealing materials, the research and manufacturing of steam engines had been in a state of semi-stagnation.

Dynasty is even thinking about where to get the rubber.

However, after seeing Wu Laoliu, Zhu Duanliang, and steel manufacturing, etc., they all made breakthrough progress and developed rapidly with magical runes.

Those in charge of the research on steam engine manufacturing, the Automatic Equipment Manufacturing and Research Bureau, also began to pay attention to magical runes.

Magical powers such as water banning and flow-cutting are meant to cut off the flow of water.

As for water vapor, is it considered water or gas?

If water is included, can the magical runes that prohibit water and cut off the flow of magical power be able to block the overflow of water vapor?

If it is a qi calculation, can the magical runes evolved from the wind-controlling magical power prevent it from leaking out?

What if the two are combined?

The magical power of barrier clothing can make clothes have strong defensive power. So if it acts on a steam engine, will it also prevent the leakage of internal water vapor?

It was with this idea that after a period of experiments, the steam engine researchers and manufacturers finally produced the first crude steam engine.

During the actual test, the dynasty brought the civil and military ministers to visit.

Seeing the big thing weighing dozens of tons slowly advancing on the railway track, everyone present looked shocked.

"Move, move, he really moved by himself."

“I didn’t expect that there is an iron box that can run by itself without oxen or horses to pull it, just by lighting a fire.”

“It’s really amazing”

"It's just a little slow. This is just a person's jogging speed."

"It's indeed a bit slow. Is this the fastest speed?"

Everyone present was considered to be in a high position and well-informed. Naturally, they could see the help of steam engines in transportation.

However, they were somewhat dissatisfied with the speed of such a crude steam locomotive.

"It is only so fast for the time being. We are studying improvements and believe that we will soon be able to develop a faster steam locomotive."

Liu Mingxia, director of the Automatic Equipment Manufacturing Research Bureau, said slightly embarrassed.

"oh!"

Everyone nodded. Although they were a little disappointed, they could understand that this was a new thing after all and always required a certain amount of research and development time.

There are so many differences between the original plow and today's plow.

And they believe that with the help of magical powers, this process can be greatly shortened.

In fact, people like Liu Mingxia are more radical than everyone thinks.

While they were studying steam engines and internal combustion engines, they were also studying rune power.

In other words, if magical runes are used to drive equipment, isn't that better than big things like steam engines and internal combustion engines?

Perhaps only a few magical runes are needed to drive a huge machine.

However, their understanding of magical runes and the nature of magical powers is still far from enough. At present, they only have a general idea, and they are still far away from true success.

Even their ideas were not favored by the Dynasty.

Because their ideas are roughly similar to steam engines and internal combustion engines.

Either use the rune of fire to heat the water and generate water vapor.

Or you can use the wind rune to directly drive the air to blow the wind leaves.

It's not impossible, it's just too limiting.

And their power is not enough to drive large machinery.

According to the dynasty's idea, it must be similar to the electric drive of the future, but the electricity is replaced by magical runes and the energy of heaven and earth.

This is not even the best path forward.

The best way is to use magical runes to operate magical powers.

Similar to a magic weapon.

In this way, directly interfering with the rules of heaven and earth to achieve the desired goal, this is the most perfect state.

However, it is not easy to do this.

There are too many problems that need to be solved in terms of energy conversion, connection and operation of magical runes, etc.

Perhaps the dynasty can rely on its innate ability to forcibly give birth to or even create such a magic weapon.

However, civilization has never relied on individual development, but requires joint efforts.

And isn't the main purpose of the dynasty in spreading the status of heaven and magical powers to gather the wisdom of all living beings?

If he did it, why would anyone else do it?

What's more, sometimes taking the wrong direction does not mean there is no gain. At least the rules are always right, but they are just not suitable for their research.

And for the dynasty that wants to obtain endless rules and build the sea of ​​spiritual power into the sea of ​​origin, this is enough.

Moreover, the dynasty also has too many things to deal with, so how can there be time to waste on this?

Therefore, the dynasty only provides direction, and the rest is left to these craftsmen to figure out and study on their own.

As for, isn't it said that steam engines or similar mechanization are very important? Why doesn’t Dynasty speed up this process?

It does matter.

But that is more reflected in the convenience of life and manufacturing in the future.

For now, it won't be of much help to the Dynasty.

Firstly, its speed is too slow, and its main function is to manufacture weapons.

And with its speed, it may not be as good as the craftsmen who have mastered the magical power.

Not to mention the current Salvation Army, which is basically invincible in this world and is the top army. It often only needs dozens or hundreds to face thousands or tens of thousands of troops.

Facing an army that can already crush, even if equipped with a large number of guns and cannons, it is nothing more than being able to crush more.

But in essence, there is not much difference.

What restricts the development of the dynasty has never been the combat power of the army, but the number of troops and the lack of governance talents.

Even if he recruits people on a large scale, it will take time to learn and train.

Therefore, the dynasty now pays more attention to the cultivation of talents, and rarely derives those low-level magical powers and abilities.

He wants to accumulate a lot of energy to breed and evolve higher-level magical powers.

The low-level basic magical powers and abilities will naturally be continuously evolved and expanded by countless Salvation Army, officials, and future school students and the general public.

What Wang Chao needs to do is to stand higher and go further to guide the way forward and direction for everyone.

All living beings push him to climb to a higher level, and he stands at a higher level to guide all living beings. This is the perfect development state that Wang Chao wants to achieve, a perfect cycle.

Another important point is that Wang Chao's life span of thousands of years has brought him confidence.

There is plenty of time.

Naturally, Wang Chao is not in a hurry.

Not to mention the steam engine, he can see the appearance of internal combustion engines, electricity, nuclear energy, electric lights, telephones, airplanes, satellites, space stations, etc. again.

Even future technologies such as spacecraft, Wang Chao can always wait until they are developed.

In fact, when the steam engine was really manufactured, the speed of renewal far exceeded everyone's imagination, and even Wang Chao was extremely surprised.

In just half a year, the technology of steam engines and steam locomotives has become extremely perfect.

Perhaps the speed is not as fast as a galloping horse, and it is not as fast as the people's salvation army that has activated the magical power of walking.

But it does not need to rest.

After receiving the news, Wang Chao was delighted and immediately asked people to prepare for the manufacture and laying of trains and rails.

The first rail was from Xi'an through Lanzhou and Gansu to Yumen Pass, Guazhou and other places, in order to transport soldiers and materials to the border areas.

And the second and third rails were preset, from the south through Chengdu Prefecture in Sichuan to the southernmost Dongchuan Prefecture, and from the north to the farthest Zhenyuan Pass and Yulin Prefecture.

If all were laid, the speed of transporting soldiers and grain for the people's rescue army would reach the peak of this era.

Distance would no longer be a shackle for the development of the Ming Rescue Army.

And with the help of magical powers, Wang Chao believed that this time would not be far away.

While developing railways, Wang Chao did not give up on the development of other aspects and the mastery of the rules of heaven and earth.

And the most important aspect was naturally education.

Wang Chao began to continuously delve into the essence of magical powers, and more and more magical runes were analyzed and evolved by him, turning into extraordinary knowledge and placed in the spiritual space.

Even some magics have evolved that can be learned and practiced by ordinary people.

For example, Wang Chao simplified the light generation into the lighting technique, which can output power according to different levels to form a light spot the size of a rice grain or a light ball the size of a fist.

It is just a simplified lighting technique, and it has no other function except lighting.

As for the difference between the light generation magic power and it.

The magic power generates light, and the intensity of the light generated is unlimited.

If the power is enough, it can also condense a light source covering the whole world.

Moreover, it can also be given extraordinary characteristics, such as breaking evil and killing demons, blazing like fire, etc.

In addition, Wang Chao also simplified the magic power of moving scenery, summoning, leaving, and barrier.

These simplified spells basically do not cause much harm.

The magic power of summoning and leaving is probably the magic power of summoning.

And this is just equivalent to pushing or pulling people.

If combined with the barrier magic power, basically no harm will be caused.

The reason for this is that Wang Chao intended it.

Such spells are more suitable for students in schools, especially primary school students.

When the supernatural education is just beginning, it is better not to teach lethal spells to avoid causing harm and chaos.

Then we have to wait until they are adults, right?

Now, Wang Chao is compiling spell levels and the process of practicing spells.

When the compilation is completed, he will include the practice of supernatural spells in the primary school curriculum.

He thinks that if he is given another year, he will completely complete the compilation of supernatural textbooks.

At that time, students in the two provinces will not only study normal liberal arts and science courses, but also learn supernatural spells.

As for the fact that after integrating the heavenly and earthly status, you can control the corresponding magical powers.

Then learning these simplified supernatural spells and magical runes is a bit redundant.

Of course not.

To learn these simplified extraordinary spells and magical runes is to learn and analyze the fundamental components of magical powers from the smallest point.

Only in this way, in the future, they can master and improve magical powers faster, and even evolve new magical powers that belong to them.

This is the main purpose of the dynasty.

Every new magical power that appears represents their different understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.

And all of these will be engraved and integrated into the sea of ​​spiritual power, turning into the foundation for the growth and strengthening of spiritual power and the dynasty.

And by then, the dynasty will no longer have to work hard to simplify the magical powers and evolve the magical runes.

Naturally, there will be countless people who understand the essence of magical powers to help them simplify the magical powers, analyze the laws of the operation of magical powers, and evolve the magical runes.

After thinking about the future scenario, the dynasty was immediately full of motivation and immersed in the evolution of spells and magical runes again.
