From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 200 New achievements in the laboratory【4K】

Ryan stood on the pier and watched the fleet set sail until they disappeared from sight before looking away.

This fleet will pass through three provinces in the southern border and more than ten counties. It will take at least a few months to go back and forth. Of course, if the sales volume is good, it may come back soon.

However, Ryan himself didn't expect to achieve much results the first time. The main thing is to accumulate experience, at least to spread the sign of Kanerling to lay the foundation for the future.

"My lord, what is your next step?" Seeing that the fleet had gone far, Levi couldn't help asking Ryan's next itinerary.

Ryan looked at the crowd in the distance again. The group of hard laborers were still waiting for work, but the strong man he noticed was missing, which made him more interested.

"Send someone who is smart enough to disguise himself and go find a tall and strong man among the group of people, and dig out everything that can be dug out for me."

Levi's glanced at the direction Ryan was pointing at, and found that there was a group of coolies there. Although he didn't know Ryan's purpose, he still faithfully carried it out.

As for the requirements of the leader, as a subordinate, you only need to implement them. You don't need to ask so many why. Being curious about everything will only hurt yourself.

"Go to the laboratory next, I haven't visited for a long time."

Ryan has been to Liman's laboratory for a while, and recently heard from Susan that some new results have been obtained, so he has nothing to do now, so he might as well drop by to have a look.

After coming to the laboratory, Ryan found that everyone was busy around a strange machine, and no one noticed his arrival.

At this time, the laboratory is no longer the time for Rieman to be busy alone. Susan has officially become his deputy and directly participates in the research of rune technology.

In addition, there is an assistant named Ke Paiqi, he is the best student in the first batch of students sent here except for Susan, and he can already help Liman.

There are still two students in the same batch as him who have successfully persisted until now, but they are far behind Kopaiqi, and they can only play by the side and do some basic work.

It is worth mentioning that the previously detected magician apprentice named Sparrow mastered rune-related knowledge very quickly, only a little slower than Susan.

He has now been licensed by Liman to work for Susan, and it is really not easy to get Liman's approval.

The six people were busy walking around, but Ryan couldn't understand it at all.

It's not that he didn't think about learning runes, but it turned out that this thing also requires talent, and he was not that material at all, so he had to face the reality and leave professional things to professional people.

He stood behind the crowd for a long time before he was finally discovered by the magician apprentice Sparrow.

"Uh, my lord? When did you come?" Sparrow was only eight years old. He looked very gentle and shy, and he seemed very restrained when facing Ryan.

"Just here." Ryan smiled on his face, but was speechless in his heart: "I've been standing behind you for a while, okay?"Finally someone discovered my existence. '

"You came just in time, this new device is about to undergo its final test, so I won't send someone to call you." Liman said without raising his head.

"What is this device for?" Ryan leaned closer. It is about half a person tall. It is made of fine iron. It is thin on the top and thick on the bottom. It is a bit like a pyramid without a spire, but the top is round and concave, and it is densely packed. Seeing the runes made Ryan dizzy.

"Sparrow, you tell him."

"Uh, okay, mentor." Sparrow didn't expect that Liman would entrust him with this task, and he was a little nervous for a while, not knowing where to start.

"Oh, boy, don't be nervous. Tell me about its function first." Ryan saw Sparrow's embarrassment at a glance, and immediately asked softly.

Ryan's approachable performance eased the tension in Sparrow's heart. He organized his words and said: "My lord, in the words of the instructor, in rune technology, magic power is the premise of everything. It is both energy and power. Mana is required to activate any rune.

In the early stage of development, the instructor successfully reproduced the [Alchemy Core], thus allowing the territory to independently produce magic crystals, thus solving the energy problem.

However, if we want to develop rune technology on a large scale, magic crystals can no longer meet the needs, so the mentor led us to carry out a new research, and it is our final result.

It was born out of [Alchemy Core], and it can also absorb magic power, but it does not use these magic powers to make magic crystals, but is similar to a magic power absorption and storage station.

Its role is to provide a steady stream of energy for large-scale rune devices. For example, you should know the rune lamp. A magic crystal can make it illuminate for twelve hours.

This is inconvenient, because once the number of rune lamps increases, it will be very inconvenient to replace the magic crystals, and we don't have so many magic crystals to use now.

But it’s different with it. We only need to connect it with the rune lamp through a channel that transmits magic power. As long as this device is turned on, it can continuously provide energy for the rune lamp and keep it illuminated.

And a device like this can connect hundreds of rune lamps at the same time and ensure their normal use, and only one magic crystal is needed to activate this device, and then it can achieve a virtuous circle, unless the runes on it are damaged, otherwise it will It can run forever. "

Sparrow was a little cautious at first, but the more he spoke, the smoother he became, and his expression changed from nervousness to fanaticism.

Ryan even saw Liman's shadow at that moment. He was so enthusiastic when he successfully reproduced the [Alchemy Core].

Following his simple explanation, Ryan finally understood the function of the device in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but Liman is a very thoughtful person.

If these are brought into his familiar domain, then the positioning of this device is similar to the power station in the previous life. After the electricity is produced, it is sent to various parts of the country with high-voltage lines to drive various machines.

Magic power is electricity, and their status and functions in two different scientific systems are basically the same.

It's just that this "power station" is simpler. It doesn't require as much investment as building a hydropower station, nor is it as harmful as thermal power generation, and it doesn't require a specific geographical location and conditions like wind power generation.

Magic power is everywhere in this world like air. This device can continue to operate no matter where it is, and it occupies a small area and does not pollute the environment.

"With this device, it seems that the idea of ​​installing street lights on the roads of the whole city can be realized." Ryan thought in his heart.

When he told Sparrow about this idea, the young man immediately said that there was no technical problem and it was completely achievable.

Ryan just said that, and didn't mean to do it. After all, it's too conspicuous to make this kind of thing, and it's better for him to develop wretchedly now.

However, this also reminded him that in his previous life, the emergence of electricity represented a new stage for human beings and set off the second upsurge of industrialization. It was widely used in various fields and became an inseparable part of human beings. part.

But now, he feels that he is also on this outlet. The appearance of this device must bring an unimaginable leap to rune technology. Many ideas that were originally on paper can be put into practice, such as --industrialization!

At present, one of the main factors restricting the development of the territory is the lack of productivity, and science is the primary productivity!
Textile industry, transportation, mining, agriculture, military...Technology can change too many things.

Ryan immediately "frozen" up, this is about to take off!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ryan watched the last test led by Liman.

The test method is very simple. They connected more than 200 rune lamps to the device at the same time. The energy transmission is a silver-white metal strip as thick as a little finger. The texture is relatively soft, similar to a wire.

"This is an alloy configured by the instructor after repeated experiments. Its main material is a relatively common soft copper. It was mined in the small copper mine in the former Cheltland. It was useless before. The metal, because it is too soft, lacks hardness.

But the instructor thought it was an advantage, so he added Thorium and some other metals to increase its ductility and corrosion resistance, and finally applied it to the transmission of magic power. "

Sparrow dutifully explained to Ryan.

Ryan nodded to express his understanding. Liman is also a half-alchemist after all, so it is not surprising that he knows a little material science.

Liman asked everyone to step aside, and put a magic crystal into a groove on the side of the device.

In an instant, those densely packed runes were activated, emitting a faint fluorescence, and the concave hole at the top emitted a soft light, and the device began to vibrate.

Ryan could clearly feel that the free magic power in the air seemed to be drawn by something, and they rushed into the round hole one after another, and the light at the hole also turned into colorful colors.

"Open the gate." Liman said in a deep voice.

Kepaiqi at the side immediately walked to the side full of metal bars, each of which was connected to a rune lamp, and on their side, there was a metal wrench painted in eye-catching red.

Ke Paiqi pulled it down hard, and in an instant, the [spreading runes] carved on those silver-white metal strips were activated, and the magic power was transmitted along the rune channel to the rune lamp ten meters away.

In an instant, two hundred rune lamps were all lit up, and the light gathered together was as dazzling as a small sun.

It lasted for half an hour, and Liman checked it inside and out, and it was running perfectly, which can already be declared a success.

But Liman was very rigorous, and he decided to let it run for a few days and nights before drawing conclusions.

"What a great invention, does it have a name?" Ryan said in admiration.

Liman scratched his messy hair and said, "They all only have experimental numbers, and no official names have been set."

"Then this device is called [Magic Power Well]. The hole looks like a well. The metal strips are called [Spread Lines], and the metal that makes them is called [Riemann Alloy]."

Ryan took over the naming right unceremoniously, and put on a few names in a bang. Fortunately, he was conscientious, and the alloy was named after Liman.

Liman was not interested in these things. For him, from the moment he touched the rune, he was destined to be recorded in history.

These are just drizzle.

The success of the experiment made Liman relax a little bit and gave everyone a day off. Of course, considering the confidentiality, no one except Susan could go home and contact outsiders.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Liman asked Ryan sideways, washing his hands.

"Master Liman, I have an idea, I don't know if it can be realized."

"Speak directly." Liman choked.

"It's like this. With the development of the territory, the mine has taken up too much of our manpower. I'm wondering if I can use runes to make a mining-assisting machine to free up human resources."

Liman frowned when he heard the words, he thought for a while and said, "In theory, it's okay, I have time to think about it."

Ryan originally planned to tinker with the steam engine, but that thing is not something that can be obtained, so there has been no progress.

And now, go to tm's steam engine, it's a different world, runes can make machines that are more suitable for mining!

After returning to the castle, Levi's handed Ryan a piece of information about the big man on the pier today.

After reading it at a glance, most of it was irrelevant news, but one of them caught his attention. According to his neighbors, the first thing this strong man named Bem got paid every day was to go to When buying meat in the trade market, basically all wages are used to buy meat.

He is so big, he likes to eat meat, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with eating a lot, so no one suspects anything.

But Ryan has a different opinion. Can the meat he buys with the money he spends as a coolie fill his stomach? It may be a bit difficult, and it is better to buy black bread.

There must be other reasons for him to buy so much meat, such as cultivation. Knights need to eat a lot of meat when they temper their bodies. Although Bem doesn't have fighting energy fluctuations, his body has characteristics that can be tempered.

Even if he wasn't a knight, he should still be a person with extraordinary ability.

An extraordinary person is doing coolie work, no matter how you look at it, there is something wrong.

"Send someone to stare at him, remember not to stare too hard, and don't make unfriendly actions, he is very sharp." Ryan warned.

Levi's smiled and said, "It's no problem, do you remember that guy named Evans?"

"Of course, he detected enhanced extraordinary power at that time."

"He can enhance his perception, and the range is hundreds of square meters. If he monitors it, he will definitely be safe." Levi said confidently.

Ryan was stunned when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Okay, then make an exception and recruit him, and I will give him credit after completing the task."
