Arcane Lord

【Lord of Arcane Arts】【】

Hengchun Plaza.

When Xia Duo came here after checking the current situation of the territory, Bo Li and Peter were already standing in a row next to the steam car. When the three of them saw Xia Duo coming, they immediately saluted respectfully:

"President."*2

"My lord."

Xia Duo nodded slightly to Boli and Peter, and then set his eyes on the third person. He looked at the other person curiously. He was wearing an ordinary robe that was standard for Daxia collar apprentices and clerks.

But the difference is that the hem of this standard robe has been cut off, only about half a foot below the waist, and a gray cloth belt is tied around the waist, making the opponent look energetic and capable.

And the black marks stained on the robe on the upper body and the trousers on the lower body revealed the characteristics of the other party's frequent labor, which left a deep impression on Xia Duo.

"what's your name?"

"My lord, my name is Xi Luo, and I come from You Nanling in the mainland."

"You Nan collar?"

Xia Duo recalled for a while, and had some impressions of this territory. It seemed to be a small territory near the Verdant Alliance. The lord was an archmage who had been passed down for a few generations. The political camp belonged to the Zilan Tower among the seven towers.

From this point of view, Daxia and Younan are still potential allies! At least on the surface it does!

"Is this steam car your invention?" Xia Duo asked Hiro.

"No, this was invented by Burleigh, Peter and me." Hiro replied modestly.

But in Xia Duo's view, the car is not really important, the key lies in the steam engine, so he asked again: "The steam engine was always invented by you, right?"

"yes."

"Tell me how you came up with the idea to invent this!"

"When I was a child, I helped my family cook. When the heat was high, the steam in the pot could lift the lid. At that time, I came up with this idea. Although it was later proved that the lid was actually lifted by the boiling soup, if If it is well sealed, the steam can still generate strong power!"

"Since the steam car can be made, it means that the technology of the steam engine itself is relatively mature. Has it been used in other fields before? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

This question is what Xia Duo is most curious about. The steam engine cannot be completed overnight, and it takes a long time to accumulate technology, but at least a little reputation should be spread during this process. This makes Xia Duo very puzzled.

To this, Hero's answer was—

"I once made a steam hammer that can be used for blacksmithing in my hometown, but I was unanimously rejected by blacksmiths in the territory. Although I was still a mage apprentice, this status did not prevent me from being rejected."

"You're still a mage apprentice?!" Xia Duo was even more surprised now.

"Yes, my lord, I was enlightened in Lord Yunan's mage tower, but my talent is limited, and I am still an apprentice after several years of learning. It is precisely because of this that I turned my goal to the steam engine, hoping to obtain You Nan. The southern lord paid attention, but what I didn't expect was that the attention came, but it was not the expected attention, but reprimand, and even ordered me not to carry out related research."

"Why? Can Lord Younan not see the potential of the steam engine?" Xia Duo continued to ask.

"Of course it can be seen, but the steam engine can only replace the ordinary labor of the lower class, and cannot provide any help in the field of magic, and the blacksmiths of the Younan Territory are all closely related to the followers of the Lord Younan without exception. Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand what choice Lord Younan will make, and of course this is also related to the inability of the steam hammer I invented to completely replace the blacksmith."

"Then do you have an improved version of the steam hammer now?"

"No."

Hiro shook his head, but he didn't brag, but explained honestly: "Because I couldn't continue to study steam engines in Younan Territory, and a lot of people pushed me away, I finally chose to leave, and then I went all the way north. It's time to study, and I didn't have the opportunity to continue to study until I came to the Great Xia Territory."

"I see!"

Hearing this, Xia Duo had a relatively general understanding of Hero and the past of the steam engine, but he felt that Lord Yunan's ban on the study of steam engines must not only be opposed by his followers, there should be other reasons.

Maybe it's because they simply don't want the bottom layer to be lazy, or maybe it's because they are worried that such a machine may eventually touch the magic field and cause backlash.

But in any case, at least the Great Xia leader does not need to care about these reasons, and Xia Duo has not seen any particularly obvious disadvantages of the steam engine for now.

"Come on, Hiro, tell me about the steam engine on this car."

"Yes, my lord."

When he mentioned his proud invention, Hero immediately became very energetic. He stretched out his hand to invite Xia Duo to get in the car, and then followed him. Since there was not much space in the car, Burleigh and Peter stayed outside the car.

"My lord, this is a steam engine. I call the sealed iron barrel in the middle a 'boiler', which is a device specially used to generate steam."

Hiro pointed to the cylinder that occupies a considerable space inside the car body and introduced it to Xia Duo, "There is a cylinder connected to the boiler, and there is a piston inside. The expansion of steam in the boiler will push the piston forward."

Although the steam car stopped at this moment, the steam engine was still working. When the piston was pushed to the side away from the steam, one end of the cylinder would emit steam rhythmically with a sound of “噗—”~www.readwn.com ~During this process, the crankshaft connected to the piston will be pushed further forward around the connection point at the other end, and the backward thrust will return the piston to the initial position of the cylinder, waiting for the steam to push again.

With such a simple structure, although Xia Duo didn't know much about the details of the steam engines of the past dynasties on the earth, he couldn't see the overall thumbnail. It seemed that none of them was as simple as what he saw now.

All have more complex devices and structures.

What makes Xia Duo feel a little bright is the way the steam engine crankshaft is connected to the wheels. It seems that a lever similar to a clutch has been made. When it is lowered, the steam power will be transmitted to the wheels, and when it is raised, it will be disconnected.

As for other aspects, it seems too ordinary.

However, considering that steam cars and even steam engines are still in their infancy, it is amazing enough to be able to do this. Xia Duo remembers that there have been several rounds of major improvements in steam engines in the history of the earth, and no one directly produced steam cars at the earliest. .

"good, very good!"

Xia Duo gave praise without hesitation, and then asked: "How much charcoal will this car burn from Daxia to Savile? How much water will be added? How safe is it?"

When Xia Duo asked this question, the excitement in Hero's eyes was almost overflowing, and he quickly replied: "My lord, the result of the current test is that a total of about 130 pounds of charcoal will be burned from the lead of Da Xia to the lead of Savile. , about 200 liters of water needs to be added, the safety is absolutely reliable, we have tested many times and have never overturned the car!"
