The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 208 Magic Theory Upgrade
"This is... magic?"

Faced with the extremely unreasonable scene in front of them, everyone present could only use magic to explain it.

It must be some kind of magic circle engraved on the shell by the lord, or a trick played by some invisible magic!

Ikert on the tower didn't pay attention to everything below.

He just turned around and said to Lafayette:

"Now, your doubts are finally eliminated.

There is no super-large natural magic at all. "

"Your experiments have proved everything, Prophet, but I still want further answers."

Lafayette sighed.

"It's good to have a desire to explore."

Ickert gestured for him to speak freely.

"But let's go back to the Ministry of Industry first."

Ickert asked the Ratmen to remove the guards, but did not remove the two solid projectiles, but let them stand there.

After returning to the Ministry of Industry, the impatient Lafayette asked:

"Prophet, my request may sound greedy, but I want to know, what is it about the force that pulls objects down?"

"You are really greedy. Even I can't easily draw conclusions on this issue."

Ickert said distressedly that there have always been two theories about the cause of the "phenomenon" of gravity.

Among them, what Eckert himself believes in is naturally the space-time distortion mentioned in the theory of relativity. It regards gravity as a phenomenon caused by mass, not a real force.

But there is also a group of people who are trying to discover something called gravitons, in order to unify the four fundamental forces and study anti-gravity technology.

Due to the limitations of the mother world, Ickert is still more inclined to the theory of relativity in the blue star where the graviton has not been confirmed, but he dare not say absolutely.

"Let's first establish the idea that it's not that something is pulling the object down, it's just that the object is going to go down."

"Nothing is affecting? The movement trend of the object itself? But prophet, isn't this going back to the beginning?
Doesn't this mean that the reason why the object wants to fall is because it wants to fall? "

"No, of course not."

Eckert replied patiently.

"We start with a simple model where the world is empty, it's 'flat'.

Like this piece of paper. "

Ickert picked up the drawing paper from the Ministry of Industry and spread it on the table.

"Now, let's add a little matter to the world, say, a small ball."

A metal bullet was placed in the middle of the paper, and Ickert asked the mages present to lift the paper, and the metal bullet pressed a depression between the papers.

"Now, the space is no longer flat, Lafayette, put another bullet in it."

"Yes, Prophet."

The spiritual mage watched with some puzzlement as the round solid bullet dropped from his hand, and finally collided with the first bullet.

"understand?"

"Understood! I understand the Prophet!"

Lafayette looked at the two balls on the paper and trembled with joy.

"It's matter! Matter distorts space, thus changing the trajectory of objects!
It is not that something is pulling the matter to run, but the matter itself is moving!

Matter is in motion! "

This stunning model explains everything about gravity perfectly.

Lafayette wanted to ask before, if something is pulling everything down, it would be too scary.

Imagine that the ground under your feet is falling down every minute and every second, so don't human beings live in the abyss?
And the model in front of him, although also an abyss, is a more reasonable and hopeful abyss!
Ickert's demonstration is a metaphor for a future.

In the beginning, the world was composed of countless parallel lines that never intersect, and each particle was alone.

And once every particle has "existence" and can make the space bend, everything in the world begins to intersect.

As the saying goes, everything changes into one!Looking at this model alone, the entire universe is converging!
Lafayette is really enlightened.

For the rest who didn’t realize it, Ickert felt that it was better not to let him realize it.

Otherwise, all changes will be the same. Lafayette may think of the source of magical power that gathers the matter of the universe, or gods, while Ickert can only think of singularities and black holes.

Going forward is hell!
So far, the territory's extended discussions on the automatic magic charging machine are all over. In the end, the design of the entire machine is not as complicated as the extension discussed by few people.

To put it bluntly, the automatic magic charging machine has three types of power, water power, wind power, and serious boiling water.

Without using these energy sources, or without mining the abundant sources of high magic power in the underground and ocean, there is no way to continue the life of magic technology.

There is only one hydraulic power source for the time being, and the main compression mechanism is the simplest slider crank mechanism.

The water wheel drives the flywheel to move, and then a connecting rod is placed on the flywheel circumference to make the piston reciprocate in the magic tube.

This mechanism can be further simplified, such as replacing the flywheel with a cam. How to do it depends entirely on manufacturing capabilities and performance requirements.

The most critical part of the whole device is nothing more than the stroke of the piston, a higher stroke can compress a higher magic pressure.

It's a pity that limited by the efficiency of mana filling and the obstruction of air, it is difficult for the automatic mold filling technology to break through to above the third level of mana pressure in the early stage.

After a lot of paper design, demonstration and calculation, it just reached the level of a single machine driving three magic engines.

"It still needs to be mined."

The magic power of the other world is like oil, which cannot meet the needs of industry without digging.

"It just so happens that the Ratmen have been on the ground for too long, and it's time to put them in what they do best."

There are many caves in the mountains around the territory, and the secrets of undead and orcs haunting this place have not been solved.

It's not that Ickert is not vigilant about this, but everything that happened on land is not enough to support their large-scale haunts in Windsor. To figure this out, it is inevitable to take the mice down the hole.

However, compared to going down the cave with huge casualties and fighting various underground monsters and the extremely bad natural environment, Ickert has a safer way.

After leaving the Ministry of Industry, he found Aris again.

"I need you to make another trip to Los Sodor, get in touch with the adventurer chapter there, and let them set up a branch here,

Post another reward to find a reliable team and let them explore the cave below the mountain. "

Ickert ordered, Aris nodded yes, and took over the task.

"Also, we already have enough people, so we can try to apply to the headquarter of the imperial capital to build a bigger branch here."

"Young master, I will do this well."

Ickert waved his hand, indicating that he already knew, and he was still relieved to handle affairs with his own family.
