Chapter 271 "City of Electricity"

The dwarfs were much more enthusiastic than Wang imagined.

Just a week later, the airship arrived from the Thorn Islands.

Before that, dwarfs arriving by boat were arriving one after another - the floating island was moving to its next destination, Yisonzo, generally moving along the main trunk of the Mashunya River. The merchant ships on the river could basically see the floating island as soon as they raised their heads. .

In addition, the discharge device on the floating island is so bright at night that it can be seen with the naked eye more than ten kilometers away. The elves can even use this lightning as a lighthouse to find the location of the floating island from a long distance.

Although a bunch of dwarf craftsmen came, the electricity load on the floating island has not increased.The main reason is that even for dwarves, electricity is a rare commodity, and you need a discharge core to use it.

The discharge core is actually a magic prop that stabilizes the lightning spell. Only a dwarf would be willing to put one in a large airship. It is mainly used to drive the airship's engine.

Moreover, dwarfs have no knowledge of electromagnetism, and they do not even have the concept of magnetism. They only know that by constantly inverting the electrodes, the iron handle fixed on the track can reciprocate.

So their motor is the most primitive mechanical motor. This motor is so primitive that it requires someone to constantly use a mechanical device to switch the positive and negative poles of the current - because the discharge core discharges direct current.

The dwarfs built a disk-shaped positive and negative pole switching device, and then connected it to the pedals of the bicycle. When the motor is running, someone must constantly pedal the pedals to switch the positive and negative poles back and forth.

In addition to this primitive motor, they also discovered the phenomenon that continuous electricity will make metal heat and glow, but no one thought of using this to heat food or emit light.

Maybe it's too convenient to use magic to achieve these two things, and since electricity is so scarce, no one even thinks about it.

In fact, only mid- to low-end dwarf airships are powered by electricity.The highest-end dwarf airship uses a magic engine with constant magic to drive the propeller.

Well, now, with such strong, stable, and continuous electrical energy, the dwarves have no experience in making electrical appliances. A large amount of electricity can only be turned into lightning and released between two rods.

The first method that the dwarfs came up with was to use this thing as a weapon - but this idea was immediately overturned, because the electricity on the material side cannot be directed where it hits.

Faced with this situation, Wang had no choice but to continue to transfer electromagnetic knowledge to this plane. He first taught the dwarves how to make electromagnets, and then taught them how to make real DC motors.

Incandescent lamps also basically have to be made from scratch, because there is no chemistry in this world, and the tungsten used to make incandescent lamp wicks in other planes has not been discovered at all.

It may have been mined occasionally before, but there is no way to refine it in this plane, and they don't realize that it is a different metal from iron.

However, there is magical alchemy in this plane.

After all, it is an idealistic plane.

Wang used the materials brought by the dwarfs, opened the furnace himself, and made a pot of tungsten alloy (yes, one pot without the wrong quantifier). The world's first incandescent lamp was finally born.

While Wang was happily leading a group of dwarf craftsmen to make things, on the morning of September [-]th, Rosalie said to him with a serious face: "The number of dwarfs on the island has exceeded three hundred. The dwarfs They are all immersed in making things. Yesterday alone, three dwarfs were electrocuted to death and more than a dozen were injured.

"Sister Atori has already complained to me, saying that most of the resurrection spells she prepared every day will be used up, and various healing spells will also be severely consumed.

"In addition, the humans on the island do not dare to approach the dwarfs for fear of being electrocuted, so you must restrain the dwarf craftsmen!

"You have to pick someone who can handle the dwarfs."

Wang: "Can't you manage it?" Rosalie: "How can I manage it?"

Wang: "I don't think you manage human beings very well?"

"But the dwarfs don't listen to me. They don't care what I, the princess, say! They don't even greet me when they see me." Rosalie sighed, "I know you are obsessed with spreading... spreading electromagnetic waves here. Learn, but you have to take care of things, and the dwarfs will listen to you."

Wang Yiyu: "If they want to conduct related experiments, they will need to use electricity. The transmission lines are only distributed around the power generation device, that is, around the gravitational core. Theoretically, they will only conduct experiments in this area of ​​the island."

Rosalie crossed her arms and said, "Yes, but you have drawn a boundary on the ground. Your dwarf craftsmen have spread their workshops around the boats where residents live."

Wang quickly looked at the ground map of the floating island placed on the large conference table in the central control room: "Oh my God, did they spread the wires that far?"

Rosalie: "Didn't you notice? There are also reports of people being injured due to electric leakage in the church on the east side of the island and the Kailin Temple in the middle."

Wang: "Okay, let's re-draw the dwarfs' residential area and prohibit them from building workshops outside the area. In addition, I will let them choose a representative - Qian, I always think they will choose Poppy. "

The dwarfs don't seem to like human interaction. Ever since the first batch of dwarf craftsmen arrived on the island, they have left all communication with the "Lord of the City" to the unlucky Bobby with three hairs on his head.

Wang thought for a while and said, "Let Gaines be the head of the dwarfs. He knows almost everyone. He must have a way to make these dwarf craftsmen obey."

Rosalie: "I think it's okay. But I don't understand. Will doing this help us save the world?"

Wang: "Well, the cult has an army. No, in fact they have a whole country as their backing. It's hard for us to defeat them just by beheading an elite team. Before we can get in touch with their leader, we will be defeated. Endless troops piled to death.”

Rosalie: "I know, I know, so we have to have an army too. Now, where's the army?"

Wang: "Aren't we building electric ballistas and electric trebuchets? And flying floating islands in the sky is an advantage. If we can install enough electric motors on floating islands, we can fly directly over the enemy's army. Throwing stones has the same effect as a trebuchet. It can also throw burning fire glue!"

Rosalie: "Then if the enemy lands on the floating island, your dwarf army must have a way to protect these trebuchets, engines and blazing glue, right?"

Wang scratched his head: "This..."

Rosalie: "Or, that lightning fence that looks very powerful, can destroy enemies on the ground?"

Wang: "Uh, no, you shouldn't count on it."

Rosalie: "Why are we looking for Nelenis's relics in the first place?"

"No, this is not a relic of Nelenis. This is the core of the outer plane colonization machinery that Nelenis wants to activate." Wang explained while gesturing, "Electricity is just an unexpected gain. What we are looking for is actually Nirvana. A relic of the ancient civilization to which Lenis belongs, the Arcane Federation used that thing to create a shared spell pool. I originally wanted to create something similar so that Elizabeth could use other magic..."

At this time, Elizabeth suddenly broke into the central control room and shouted: "King! I can set off fireballs!"

Wang stopped talking and turned to look at her: "What?"

Elizabeth: "I can cast fireballs! When I woke up this morning, I knew for sure that I could cast them!"
