Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 377 Prepare to end

Since Luke suggested last time to write a thesis on the heating system of the Snow City Battlefield, Helkkin not only set the goal of passing the steam engineering team qualification examination, but also wanted to get a good one with this extremely time-sensitive topic. score.

  The battlefield stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and there are thousands of garrison stations. Considering the cost and difficulty of deployment, the gas pipeline is not much thicker than the water pipe. In order to ensure that the temperature in the military station is suitable, the gas pipeline must be able to withstand extremely high temperature and pressure. Special materials must be used to manufacture gas pipelines. When laying out the heating system, the pipelines also need to be spliced ​​into arrays to obtain the strength to withstand high temperature and high pressure with its own magic power.

   Therefore, the gas pipeline cannot be pulled casually, and must be laid according to the designed array.

  The urban heating system of Dongdu also has a corresponding array technique, which allows steam to be transported quickly over long distances, reducing loss on the way.

  When Helking was writing his dissertation, he realized that it was a topic tailor-made for himself. Not only do I have detailed information on the heating system of Snow City Battlefield, but Mr. Luke is also preparing to write a paper on the heating system of the city recently. A little copy will definitely win rave reviews from the judges. .

  And after getting the steam engineer certificate this time, Mr. Luke should have already married Miss Angelia. With the backing of the Elvis family, Mr. Luke will definitely be able to get a position of real power in the Commonwealth of Yate County... I can also take this opportunity to leave the ice cave and become Mr. Luke's deputy in politics.

  Helkkin, who thought he had reached the end of the Yate County United officialdom, climbed up desperately after seeing this ladder that could reach the sky.

  Helke King took his draft thesis to Luke for guidance. With his professional knowledge, Luke used the paper to figure out what kind of formation was used by the Allied Army in Snow City for the battlefield heating system.

   Once you find the basic formation technique, you can draw a rough outline of the battlefield heating system on the map of Snow City. Then, with the guidance and supplements to Helkkin's thesis, Luke mastered the battlefield heating system circuit in more detail.

   And Luke can be sure that Helkkin didn't cheat on it, and according to his level, he can't fake it either.

  The Battle of Snow City became more and more brutal. Without the harassment and counterattack of the Northern Army, the army of the Art County United could launch rounds of offensives against Snow City without any scruples.

  When the Dongdu newspaper reported on the Battle of Snow City, it was no longer the same tone as before. The data on the battle report is more realistic, and there are even war reporters who drew magical images of the battlefield near Snow City.

   Covered with ice and snow, there are continuous broken walls, and the soldiers on both sides of the continuous fierce battle have no time to restrain the corpses of the dead.

   Snow City has reached its limit!

  After Luke drew the diagram of the heating system of the Snow City battlefield, he immediately handed it over to the Winter Capital intelligence station of the Imperial Secret Service.

   "Do everything possible, no matter the cost, and deliver it to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess as quickly as possible!"

  Information is sent, whether Queen Christina can survive depends on her luck.

  What Luke has to do in winter has also entered the final stage.

  At the same time, his "passionate love" with Angelia has become one of the focuses of the entire Winter Capital under the hype of various media. Even the underground resistance army attacked a surface security station, but they couldn't suppress the heat of this peerless love.

  In order to lock this rich man in as soon as possible, Elvis quickly fixed the date of the engagement ceremony. And in order to help his son-in-law-to-be enter the Congress of the Yate County League smoothly in the future, he also specially sent invitations to all the senior officials and oligarchs of the County League.

The commander of the Art County League fighting in Snow City has received a secret order to break through Snow City before the engagement ceremony between Mr. Luke and Miss Angelia begins... If the Queen of the Golden Shield Empire can participate in the engagement ceremony as a captive , even better!

  All things seem to be pushed to a certain point in time by an invisible hand, and the energy squeezed from different directions will burst out concentratedly.

   Luke, on the other hand, put all his energy into the test of the Titan-1 prototype, like a person with nothing to do.

   Now the Titan-1 has been disconnected from all external kinetic energy sources, and all the energy it needs is provided by the existing water molecule two-phase steam engine.

  Although Darikova, as a test pilot, has conducted the test of the Titan-1 prototype many times, she still cannot control her excitement every time she sits in the cockpit.

  The heavy cockpit door was closed, and the neuron network wire behind the seat stretched out to wrap her head, and finally formed a helmet. The neuron magic system was activated, and Dalikova's consciousness was instantly connected to all the magic sensors in the head of the Titan I.

  Vision, hearing, smell, touch, except for the sudden height difference that makes people uncomfortable, the others are not much different from the real body.

  She saw Luke standing at her feet with a document booklet looking up, and said, "Mr. Luke, the magic system of the Titan I prototype has been activated, and all functions are normal. Do you want to start the steam system?"

  Luke replied: "Start the steam system. Today's test is a bit difficult. You have to overcome all obstacles within the specified time. You have to concentrate. I hope to go underground as soon as possible to conduct a performance test in a more complex environment."

   "Yes, Mr. Luke, I will do my best."

  The steam system starts, and the high-purity water in the closed water tank is quickly transformed into water vapor under the heating of the fire crystal heat source, filling all the steam pipes, and the water molecule two-phase steam engine starts to operate immediately.

  As the temperature increases, the pressure generated by water vapor increases rapidly. Thermal energy then circulates internally between the two phases of water molecules, and the pressure differential propels the mechanical parts of the Titan I prototype.

  The pressure output tended to be stable, Darikova controlled the giant machine and took a step forward, the heavy steps made the whole experimental workshop tremble.

  Several rugby-shaped magic energy detection devices flew up to detect the magic circle around the prototype.

  Luke recorded the timely data collection of the Titan I prototype by the mana detection device, and Rebecca, who was standing behind him, looked at the prototype walking past with envy.

   "I really want to try it, even if I sit inside."

Rebecca's words were heard by Luke, and he responded: "This is a prototype, and it must be tested by an experienced driver. If you want to experience it, I will give you ten minutes when this test is over. .”

   "Really? Mr. Luke."

"What I say here counts, of course it is true." Luke looked around and saw that everyone's attention was on the prototype body under test, so he whispered to Rebecca: "Norton, Harry , and Amao, they have already settled down in Raging Waves City, you should also prepare to leave Winter Capital."

  Rebecca's attention was pulled back from the prototype fuselage in an instant: "Sir, I won't leave, I still want to protect you."

   "I'm leaving too, but I'm taking a different path from you. We'll see you in Raging Waves City."

   "Are you leaving too?" Rebecca was very surprised: "Aren't you going to get engaged to Miss Angelia? And you have created such a great achievement in Dongdu, and you have such a good steam laboratory!"

   "Don't ask too many questions, and prepare according to my instructions."

  Rebecca replied: "Yes, Mr. Luke."

  …

  Dongdu Magic Steam Academy, Qingkong also packed her bags. The academic exchanges in the past three months have given her a lot of gains. Just the books she bought are full of three boxes.

   Regarding the Titan Project, we have also gained a lot.

   This super alchemy mechanical puppet plan was really proposed and first researched by Dongdu Magic Steam Academy. At the beginning, it was just an internal interest of several magic alchemist professors and friends. For the design of the mechanical part of the puppet, they invited several steam school professors to join.

  At that time, Molson was still the dean of the Dongdu Magic Steam Academy, and the contradiction between the "Magic" faction and the "Steam" faction had not yet emerged.

  This time, the Yate County United is going to attack the Golden Shield Empire. It is hoped that the Society of Steam Engineers will come up with some advanced weapon plans, and those professors from the "Steam" faction submitted the "Titan Project" to it.

  My own research results were taken away like this. Even though the Society of Steam Engineers gave me a lot of compensation, the professors of the "magic" faction were full of grievances.

  During the conversation with Qingkong, they forgot all about the confidentiality agreement. Especially when Qingkong talked about the research related to the Oulu Academy, several magic professors seemed to be scratched, and they talked a lot.

   As for Qingkong, even if several magic professors didn't say the real core part, just a few key inspirations are enough. According to the magic alchemy technology reserves of the Oulu Academy, the magic technology used by the Titan Project is actually separated by a layer of window paper. If you don't pierce it, you may not know what's inside for more than ten years; but once you pierce it and have an entry point, you will find...it turns out to be such a thing.

  Project Titan received the magic part and the mechanical part, and the rest was handed over to the Oulu Academy and the Urban Alchemist Association of Raging City to develop the Magic Titan and the cheap Steam Titan.

  Princess Daile was also helping when Clear Sky was packing up.

   After a while, she couldn't help asking: "When is Luke leaving? Do we need to wait for him to leave together?"

  Qing Kong replied: "Let's go first, and wait for him to finish everything before we leave."

  Princess Daier couldn't help but asked worriedly: "But you're gone... What should he do if he is in danger? There must be many people watching him now!"

   "Don't worry! He has arranged everything, we're leaving, it's better for him to get away."

  Princess Dai'er was relieved, and then said happily: "Are we going to Rage City? Wait for him to go back there!"

   "No, let's go to Saint Lun City!"

  Princess Daier said disappointedly: "Going back so soon, I haven't had enough fun. And... I always feel that something bad will happen."

  Qing Kong glanced at Dai'er and said with a smile, "There are Meteor and Meteor."

"yes!"

  …

   While Luke and Clear Sky were preparing to leave Winter City, an unexpected accident occurred on the Snow City battlefield.

  The battlefield heating system of Yate County United was damaged at multiple points overnight, causing a large-scale paralysis of the entire system. Many garrisons turned into ice caves in a short period of time, and the soldiers inside were frozen and unable to rest all night.

  In the days that followed, the Ice Cave Agents and the Imperial Agents had the most intense confrontation ever in the snow fields around Snow City. Both sides have put in the most elite forces to fight around the heating system of the battlefield without giving up.

  However, protection is difficult and destruction is easy. In the attacks of imperial spies regardless of sacrifice, more and more gas pipelines have been precisely destroyed. More garrisons lost their heat sources, and soldiers had to brave the severe cold to pick up firewood to keep warm. But the heat generated by firewood is not as efficient as heating. When more and more barracks lose their heat source, firewood will not be enough.

  At this time, even if emergency heating supplies are urgently allocated from the rear, they cannot be delivered to the front line in a short time.

  The soldiers of the Yate County United know how terrible the winter nights in the Northland are. Without a heat source for heating, they will freeze to death.

   Once deserters appear, they can no longer be stopped.

  The soldiers who didn’t want to freeze to death in the barracks ran to the rear one after another. The imperial spies who found out the news immediately sent the information that the Yate County coalition army was routing to Snow City.

   At this time, Queen Christina didn't know what happened outside, and she was wondering why she hadn't been attacked in the past two days.

   Until she hears…

   Meteor personally sneaked into Dongdu to get the blueprint of the heating system of the United Battlefield of Art County. The imperial agents destroyed the heating system outside Snow City according to the blueprint. Now the enemies outside the city have lost their combat effectiveness!

  Is this the strong support Agatha was talking about?

   Meteor personally went to Winter Capital to save me!

  Suddenly, Queen Christina's mind was not overwhelmed by the joy of the sudden drop. She knew that a big victory enough to be recorded in history was placed in front of her by the meteor, and she could easily pick it up with her hand.

  Queen Christina immediately put on a battle armor representing the Golden Shield royal family, rode on a royal horse, wore a queen crown, raised the sword of power, and led the imperial soldiers who had rested for two days out of Snow City.

  They are the only prominent part of the Golden Shield Empire on the front line of the northern border, and they are facing an enemy army several times their own. But at least one night in the extreme cold, the Yate County Union soldiers couldn't even stretch their hands and feet, so how could they resist the high-morale imperial army.

   The imperial army that rushed out hardly encountered any decent resistance, catching captives who raised their hands and surrendered like catching ducks...

  Yate County United suffered the worst defeat since the outbreak of the war in Snowfield City. If it weren't for the cold and snow that also prevented the imperial army from counterattacking, the defeated Attorney United might lose all the land they occupied.

   But even so, all fronts of the Yate County United had to retreat because of the failure of Snow City.

   At the same time, they have to face the political turmoil caused by this defeat.

  At this time, the people of Winter Capital are still looking forward to the news of the fall of Snow City. If Queen Christina can be captured alive, it will be a perfect victory.

  Luke did not go to work uncharacteristically, but made a pot of tea at home alone, waiting for guests to come to the door.
