Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1240 Spin, burn, and then throw

"So you've actually launched something into space?"

Victoria nodded helplessly. "It's not quite right to call it a launch, because we didn't know that thing would spiral up into the sky."

"What does it look like?"

"It's a disc, just like the ones you see in front of you. It has a lot of grooves on it for the clamp to grip, and the specific shape is very similar to..."

"A manhole cover?"

"Yes, like a manhole cover."

"Does it have to be that the first thing humans launch into space is a manhole cover? Is this part of the magic? I can probably understand it. But how do you stop it from burning and spinning? You said the basic property is rotation? But I'm not spinning now."

"Spinning, like burning, is also spinning in the alchemical sense. Throwing is also throwing in the alchemical sense. You can think of it as a string. When you pluck it hard, it will fly out with a 'whoosh'."

"Then we should shut these things down as soon as possible! I'm afraid they'll stop working one day and crash into the earth!"

"Yes, Lord King of Rome. But please rest assured, as long as our bread system keeps functioning normally and the Vulcan core continues to consume the phlogiston by doing work, it will not fly out." The chef at the side bowed and said, "So I have been urging you to eat the bread. Because the inventory is really not big enough."

"Wait a minute." Shang Luo looked at the compass on his phone, "Turn around, let this ship turn around first. Now the bow is facing Jinei, right? Turn the head over and point it towards the New World. In the future, the bow of the ship must not be facing Jinei unless necessary."

"Your wishes are our orders. Turn around immediately."

"You don't have to worry too much," Victoria replied. "This ship is not yet capable of containing two basic magics at the same time. It can only contain one type - so violent ejection, violent burning, and violent rotation will not actually occur. But just in case, you still have to be careful."

[We really need to be careful. The scary thing about the Vulcan Core is that it mobilizes the original magic, and the power of the original magic has almost no upper limit, at least we can't see it, because it is to some extent the "power of creation". No one knows whether it will really enter the "zero point" at some point and then suddenly explode. ]

According to Shangluo's order, the breadboat temporarily stopped unloading, turned around on the spot and then docked.

Compared to moving forward, it was much more difficult for the ship to turn around. Shangluo could feel the shaft of a machine roaring in front of him - the speed gear was using the power of the shaft to drive the propeller.

“It can actually be reversed, right?”

"No, that's not possible," Victoria replied. "The state of the Vulcan core is set when it is cast, just like you can't adjust the polarity of a magnet at will. The only thing that can be adjusted on the ship is the rotation and throwing after the combustion is contained. The method of adjustment is the gearbox in front of you."

"It's really simple when you put it that way. The troublesome part is when casting. When using it, you just need to control the frequency of rotation and throwing."

After the big ship came to a stop, Shangluo got off the ship again. After all, there was nothing to see anywhere else on the ship.

The power structure of the entire ship is built around the series of large discs. The structure is extremely simple and can be understood at a glance. There is also a more complex reactor on the ship that uses carbon dioxide to produce starch and then processes it into flour. This is too complicated to be understood from the outside.

"Is this thing easy to dismantle?" Walking on the plank road to disembark, Shangluo asked the chef about engineering issues.

"From what we know, you can hoist it out directly - but when hoisting it, make sure to keep it rotating." "What about throwing it? It seems to always maintain a forward 'throwing' state?"

"Yes. On the ship, we will use part of the reverse thrust system to neutralize it. If you want to install it on land, it is recommended that you stand it upright. If it is upright, its throwing will offset its own weight, which will make it easier to hoist."

"Eh?" Suddenly, Shangluo thought, "If the power is high enough, can it fly by itself?"

"At least ours can't. Although these Vulcan megastructures are huge, their energy levels are not high. Under the intended working conditions, they cannot provide a 'throw' that exceeds their own weight - of course, it should be possible under abnormal circumstances."

"Forget it, forget it. I won't consider it under abnormal circumstances. But if you put it this way, there should be a higher energy level, right?"

【what's on your mind? 】

"Shangluo, what are you thinking about? Are you planning to build some kind of flying machine?"

"Apollonia, you should know what I'm thinking."

[Wait. Ah! We saw that before! That flying saucer!]

"what?"

[Victoria, you probably haven't seen it. Dragon Palace has a kind of disc-shaped aircraft! So far, only one has been seen. There is no power system on the outside of that disc-shaped aircraft. It can fly into the sky while rotating. It can even jump! It can jump from the sky above Yujing to the East China Sea in an instant, just like being thrown over there! ]

"Wait, I know the Vulcan Core has this potential, as long as the energy level is higher. But can it really be that big?! The one sent as a state gift had this energy level, but it was only the size of a palm. How can it be as big as a flying saucer?!"

Ao Zang secretly thought that something was wrong when Shangluo called him. Long Gong's underwear was pulled down again.

"Yes, you are right, Lord Tian." Ao Zang replied, "The flying saucer you saw before did use the technology from the West Sea. The West Sea gave us a very small sample, the size of a vinyl record. We enlarged it with mirage gas."

Shangluo turned around and relayed to Victoria: "The Dragon Palace said that they enlarged the 'creature of the West Sea'. And because it is naturally refrigerated, the mirage can remain stable under such conditions and will not collapse due to high temperatures."

"Can this thing be 'enlarged'?" Things have entered a realm that Victoria cannot understand. "This thing can only be forged in Vulcan's furnace! How can it be enlarged?!"

"Perhaps this is the power of the water god. Maybe there is a special channel for technological exchange between the East Sea and the West Sea - that is, Atlantis."

"Why are we the only ones who can't use it?" Victoria looked up at the sky. "Why is Rome the only one that has to starve to death while guarding the gold bricks? But if your description is true, then Shangluo, there may be a very powerful technology waiting for us to discover, and it's not far ahead. Shangluo, you also realized it, right?"

"Don't mention me, Apollonia has realized it."

[It can eject, which means it can jump? Since the manhole cover "jumped" into the sky and threw itself out, then our flying saucer can also throw itself out! ]
