Chapter 115 Rotating Wheels and Bearings

In fact, to be honest, after meeting this metal egg, Gawain finally realized how lucky he is in his current situation - he did not have amnesia, he fell into a world dominated by humans, and he still has the ability to smoothly integrate into the current world. The identity (although this identity is somewhat spooky) and a satellite perspective that may be of great use, and most importantly, he has memories from Gawain Cecil.

This last point is particularly important. It is precisely because he has memories from two worlds at the same time that he can more easily face the time and space where the physical rules are vastly different from those on Earth. At times, use the experience of "this world" to tide you over.

However, Nicholas Egg is completely unable to do this. Compared with Gawain, the situation of this metal ball is simply the other extreme:

He has amnesia, he has no experience or knowledge that can be effective in this world, he was caught as a test object as soon as he came here, and most importantly, he fell in the style of an egg-shaped creature in the horror of Homo erectus. on the ground...

If it is said that Gawain has entered the difficulty of hell if he wants to farm and climb technology in a world with different physical rules, then this ball simply smashed through the ceiling of all the kings in hell, and then rolled into the lord of hell. In the cauldron, the bottom of the pot is still spicy durian.

Therefore, Gawain had to admire the adaptability and mental tenacity of this ball: in such a desperate situation, he could still live so calmly, and became an excellent joker... Could it be because of the nerves of metal creatures Harder?

"Hey, why did you stop talking all of a sudden?" Nicholas Egg's voice woke Gawain from his thoughts, and the big metal ball floated around in a circle around the latter, "I still want to hear your advice. , what do you think I can do? To be honest, I really want to find something to do right now..."

Gawain immediately began to think seriously. In fact, he was thinking about it before today: This metal ball from another world with wonderful abilities was probably just an experimental material in the eyes of the magisters of Gondor, but in Gawain's eyes it was an experiment. Potential high-tech talent... Qiu Cai, but he knows that this ball has just woken up from a deep sleep, and I am afraid it will take some time to adapt and adjust his mentality, so he is not in a hurry to force others to work, but now Mr. Egg takes the initiative to speak, As he sorted out his thoughts, he said: "You have the ability to control the flow of magic power and metal, both of which can be of great use to me, but I still don't know the specific parameters of your control of magic power and metal. So I can't arrange it for you."

"Actually, I don't really understand the control of magic power," the metal ball replied, "You call those energies magic power, but there is no such thing in our world at all. When I influence the flow of magic power, I am actually shaking my magnetosphere. ——This is an organ in my body that can generate high-frequency magnetic fields. In our world, when the magnetosphere vibrates, it can form a protective barrier on the surface of the body, but here I find that the barrier disappears, but it can affect you The energy that we call 'magic',

Let it fail briefly..."

Gawain interrupted the other party immediately: "You mean magnetic field? Are you actually using the magnetic field to affect the flow of magic power?"

"That's right—including when you used 'magic' to talk to me, I actually felt its fluctuations with the magnetosphere... But it's a pity, although I can feel the magic, I can also use the magnetic field to affect it, But there is no way to use magic like your 'mages', that female... The magician named Hetty explained to me what mental power and spell model are, but I can't understand a word."

However, Gawain didn't pay attention to the second half of the other party's sentence. He was completely attracted by the fact that "magnetic field affects magic power", and fell into huge confusion: "You confirm that the 'magnetic field' you generate is really everyone in this world. Known as a 'magnetic field'? You know, the same noun in both worlds may refer to diametrically opposite phenomena!"

"This is really confirmed," Nicholas Egg floated up and down, as if to imitate a human's nodding action, "Magnetic field is magnetic field, of course people in this world don't seem to have the concept of magnetic field, they only know magnetic force, and natural magnets can attract The kind of magnetism of iron, but I have confirmed that the magnetic field I generate with the magnetosome is the same as the natural magnet of this world... What's wrong?"

"I don't know what's wrong," Gawain said with a wry smile and spread out his hands, "I've done a lot of experiments with the magnetic field, but I haven't found it to affect the flow of magic power. Could it be that the magnetic field I used isn't strong enough?"

He still had half a sentence to finish: In addition to using the magnetic field to affect the magic, his experiments on magnetism to generate electricity were also unsuccessful...

"Strength? I don't think it matters much. The magnetic field generated by the magnetosome is not strong," said the metal ball dangling. "Maybe it's because of the frequency. You didn't use a high-frequency magnetic field, right? Those 'magisters' used an oscillating magnetic field to scan me. How high is the frequency... How many millions of oscillations per second? That seems to be the highest frequency they can produce, but it has not reached the magnetic field yet. One-tenth of the frequency of the cell body - why don't you try and crank up the frequency of the magnetic field?"

Gawain had a blue vein on his forehead: How could he get a high-frequency magnetic field of tens of millions of hertz in such a broken place in the Middle Ages where technology is still dated!

Nicholas Egg is probably the only high-frequency source in the world that can generate such a frequency magnetic field!

Knowing that there is no suitable experimental environment at this moment, Gawain silently recorded this matter in his heart, and then prepared to ask the other party's ability to manipulate metal, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw The door to the brick kiln was pushed open by someone, and a silly roe deer...fireball launcher...iron head...Rebecca rushed over here in a hurry.

"Lord Ancestor! Lord Ancestor!" The viscount shouted excitedly as she ran, "Come on! Come with me!!"

Seeing this girl's excited look, Gawain's first reaction was to hide to the side: he was afraid that this silly roe deer would get a headache and throw seventy or eighty big fireballs on his face...

And after Rebecca ran in front of him and managed to catch her breath, Gawain asked her casually, "Did you finally blow up Hetty's laboratory with a fireball?"

"Ah... ah?!" Rebecca was startled by Gawain's words as soon as she gasped, and then she waved her hands vigorously, "No no! I'm very careful—I tell you, the demon you proposed The engine can be assembled over there!"

Gawain's calm expression was instantly replaced by shock and surprise.

"It's finished?! Have you tried the machine?"

"Not yet," Rebecca waved her hand, "wait for you to test the machine! But Aunt Hetty has tested all its components, and they are all based on the design drawings, and they can all achieve the corresponding effects, so there should be no problem. …”

"Don't talk about it and go quickly," Gawain couldn't contain his excitement, he dragged Rebecca and walked outside the brick kiln. He only remembered that there was a ball halfway through, so he turned his head and waved, "You Come to you too - see what we've designed!"

I'm afraid no one would have thought that the "assembly workshop" of the first-generation magic engine would be so simple.

It is a wooden shed next to the Cecil Steel Works. Except for some soldiers guarding it, there is absolutely no difference between it and other sheds. There is nothing in it that reminds people of high technology or cutting-edge. Magical things: Except for the most precise rune parts, which are done in Hetty's laboratory, all parts of the magic engine are hammered into shape by the hands of blacksmiths and runesmiths, so there are neither machine tools nor Precision mold, Rebecca and Hetty took the craftsmen to complete every processing process of the prototype in the most primitive and laborious way.

If it weren't for the magical assistance of this world, and Heidi's flame and evocation spells could help a lot, the final assembly and welding of the prototype would probably be a problem.

No matter what world it is in, the birth of anything is not easy.

In the central open space of the "Assembly Workshop", a large piece of burlap was covered with something less than two meters high. Its outline was a bit strange, and Gawain could only vaguely recognize that under one of the larger protrusions, there should be a flywheel. structure, while its true face is still obscured.

The old blacksmiths Hamel and Hetty are both standing beside the prototype, and there are some people standing beside them, some of them are Hamel's apprentices, and the other two are talismans from the capital who have just joined the territory Craftsman.

"Rebecca has to run to find you by herself," Heidi nodded apologetically to Gawain, "This child is a little rash."

"It's understandable that she wants to tell me the good news in person," Gawain took a breath and looked at the plane, "Open it up and let me see."

Heidi waved his hand, and a translucent Evocative hand appeared in the air, and lifted the cover.

There's a weird looking machine down there.

It vaguely has the shadow of a "distant relative" on the earth, with a huge flywheel, as well as the connecting rod, crank and crankshaft structure connected to the flywheel, but it is completely different from any power machine on earth in Gawain's memory. : It does not have a cylinder, but instead is a "repulsion mechanism" at the middle of the machine consisting of a slide rail, a piston, and a base. The piston is a square iron block with four slide rails passing through its four corners, and Both ends are fixed on a pedestal, the side of the pedestal facing the piston can see a slightly flickering magic circle, and on the outer edges of the two repulsion circles, there are runes extending out, a long line A strip-shaped metal plate is connected between the two repulsion arrays, and the rune trigger structure above remains connected to one of the repulsion arrays, and this metal plate is connected to the crankshaft of the flywheel through a connecting rod and a toggle device.

Every time the crankshaft turns half a turn, the rune trigger will be pulled, and the corresponding rune will establish a connection with one of the repulsion circles, until the crankshaft turns another half circle, the rune trigger will leave this circle and enter another circle. The connection range of , activates the opposite repulsion mechanism...

In addition to the rune trigger used to "switch the direction of the repulsion", there is another rune trigger that controls the "total energy" of the two repulsion circles, which is also controlled by the connecting rod, and the control lever is located in this machine. side.

The special repulsion mechanism makes this machine do not need a cylinder structure, and thus avoids the greatest precision threshold: mechanical precision, instead, it requires the precision of magic runes - which happens to be "this" world" feature.

Hetty looked at the magical energy engine in front of her with some fascination. It has a completely different appearance and internal mechanism from any magical creation in this world. Even if she participated in the manufacture of the engine herself, she was still a little lost at the moment. , but soon she came back to her senses and looked at Gao Wen: "Master Ancestor, please pull down the trap."

This is located on the edge of the Cecil Steel Plant. The engine is placed in this place to receive the energy from the magic net. Although there is no "amplifier board" in the steel plant compound to enhance the energy transmission efficiency, it is a low-power engine. Proof-of-type machines, these energies are sufficient.

Gawain shook his head: "We designed this together, you two come with me."

Heidi seemed a little hesitant, but Rebecca didn't think so much at all. She could no longer control her curiosity, and with Gawain's permission, she ran to the machine in two steps, and waved vigorously: "Aunt Heidi! Come on!"

Heidi smiled, put aside all hesitations, and came to Gawain's side.

The three hands were placed together on the handle that controlled the total energy connection, and then Gawain counted down three numbers, and the three of them pressed the handle down together.

The magic circuit was instantly connected, and the repulsion mechanism at the core of the engine was lit up. As one of the magic circles lit up, the thick and simple "iron piston" moved slowly in front of everyone.

It seems to be to drive the heavy flywheel. It moves very slowly at first, but when the flywheel becomes active, the piston moves quickly to the end of the entire repulsion mechanism - the rune trigger for switching also takes effect and lights up first. The magic circle was extinguished, and the other repulsion magic circle brightened almost at the same time.

The flywheel made a full turn, then went faster and faster - the whole machine was making a lot of noise and shaking, but it really worked!
