Creator's Steam Fairy

This attempt was rejected 400 years ago.

But human beings are still dreaming, and recently someone proposed the concept of "zero-degree generator" - liquid ammonia absorbs heat from the surrounding environment, expands in volume after vaporization, pushes the piston, outputs the driving force, and then automatically condenses to release heat to the environment. surroundings.During the whole cycle, energy is conserved and does not violate the law of energy conservation, and due to energy conversion, the output work is finally released to the environment in the form of heat, so that the energy of the environment can be inexhaustible.The above-mentioned process is carried out repeatedly, and work can be done continuously.

Unfortunately, this idea was once again rejected.Because the process of heat absorption and gasification of liquid ammonia from a high temperature environment can proceed spontaneously, but the process of condensation and heat release of gaseous ammonia cannot be realized spontaneously. It must have a cold source lower than the ambient temperature, and to maintain this cold source , it needs to consume a certain amount of energy.

Since thermal energy does not do work but thermal difference can, someone made an idea from this.

The perpetual motion machine is still a scam, but the thermoelectric semiconductor that can generate electricity through heat difference has realized the technology of converting heat energy into electrical energy.

Maybe it was a surprise.

Leaving aside those who have deceitful purposes, people may dream again, either for ideals or fame, to challenge the impossible.

But none of this has anything to do with Loria.

She is just an ancient person who has been in contact with modern things for less than half a year, and she doesn't care that the reason why people point out this scam is to prevent latecomers from wasting precious time pursuing things that have long been proven to be false—not to let They forget to dream.

After some more groping, she found two stretchable tubes from the boiler, one was connected to the plug, and it said 'connect to an external power supply', and the other tube was connected to a metal rod as thick as a finger, and it was written 'connect External Leia crystal device'.

Loria still remembered that Leia Crystal was what Fan Chen called magic spar.She also learned from the book that the external Leia crystal device is also called the magic energy battery, which is an efficient and luxurious machine that provides magic power by consuming the Leia crystal.

Magic power, magic power, and psionic power are all different expressions of the same thing.

"I forgot, your magical power that is so exaggerated that ordinary people can't understand." Alice got up from the ground and leaned against the rear window. She looked at the metal rod in Fenmao's hand and glanced Fenmao up and down, and finally He kept his eyes on her skirt and said, "Why don't you... you sacrifice a little? Can you save a little? It's a big help to survive in the wilderness by burning an extra pot of hot water out of thin air."

I just don't know if it will be uncomfortable, after all...

"What is sacrifice, who do you look down on?" Loria curled her lips at Alice with a strange smile and said, "What's the big deal about a small boiler of hot water?"

Watch her burn three furnaces!

Holding the metal rod tightly with her hand, she carefully transmitted the magic power, and the pointer on one of the meters began to shake.

"So it's okay like this?" Alice, whose magic power has never been abundant enough to be used to output outwards, curled her lips bored, and came behind Loria. She pointed to a meter and said, "This is a voltmeter, control the pointer to In the green area."

Although the universal machine can convert magic power into light/heat energy, electric energy and kinetic energy, the one with the highest efficiency and the least loss is still magic power conversion.Compared with magic to heat, magic to electricity, electricity to heat is more efficient.

"Look, this is a thermometer, and this is an indicator light." Alice explained as simply as possible: "When the red light on the far right is on, you stop and take a rest, and when the yellow light on the left is on, you continue to output magic power."

There is a large row of red, yellow and green lights on the boiler. If Alice doesn't point it out, Loria really doesn't know which one to look at.

When Abigail woke up with a whine, she saw her lady holding a metal rod, while the thermometer was rising slowly and steadily, and the water was about to boil.

The maid felt that she must have lost her head... Judging from the gauges and indicator lights, the boiler didn't burn anything, and it wasn't plugged in. It just boiled the water out of thin air.

It wasn't until the steam engine was running again that Abigail realized it. She quickly gave up the seat near the boiler to Loria, fastened her seat belt for her, and shrank herself to the back seat.

If anyone's family raised such a lady, how much fuel would they save?

Although the expensive snacks she ate cost more than the fuel.

Unlike the maid who knew nothing about magic, Alice looked at the normal-faced Loria and asked, "Is it all right?"

It was an eye-opener for her, she didn't expect pink hair to have such a magical effect.

Luo Liya replied triumphantly: "Hmph, it's easy, it's okay to burn ten at the same time."

It would be better to say that the most tiring part is to carefully lower the magic power output, so as not to blow up the boiler.

Ten... Alice quickly glanced up and down at Loria, and then showed a weird smile again.

Soon, they set off again.

Chapter 36 Wilderness (I sent it out spicy)

If I can equip every mobile fortress with a pink fur, Bolasia will flatten the world.

——The Kingdom of Bolasia, Prime Minister of Steam.

……

The number of carriages pulling vegetables and goods on the road gradually increased, and then gradually decreased.

And from about ten o'clock in the morning, after the civil version of the defenders of the holy religion who carried the three young girls crossed the border of the wilderness, except for the occasional small flock of sheep and shepherds, it seemed that they were the only ones left in this world... by the side of the road After filling up the boiler with a dilapidated water crane, they set off again without seeing any humans.

The dilapidated road became more and more difficult and bumpy. Alice had to reduce her speed again under the shout of Loria threatening to strike.In the end, Alice turned the steering wheel and simply left the road that made no difference.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Alice parked the steam car on a small mound, took out a map to estimate the distance, started at 260 o'clock in the morning, and traveled a distance of about 50 kilometers until now... deep into the wilderness, about [-] kilometers.

Even if the unknown enemy locked them in the morning and decided to pursue them, and fully grasped their route before entering the wilderness...the cavalry would not be able to catch them today.

In fact, it was reasonable to assume that they were all safe for at least a few days.

This time, Alice was not in a hurry to get out of the car, and sneaked a piece of chocolate that fell on the front compartment with pink hair. She unbuckled her seat belt, put her hands on her head and asked, "How is the consumption of magic power?"

"Huh?" Luria, who jumped out of the car tremblingly, stretched her body, closed her eyes and felt it for a while, and then replied: "It's mainly mental fatigue. Maintaining ultra-low magic power output is too much a test of control. As for magic power The consumption seems to be about the same as maintaining a magic flash all the time? It is probably the level that can be recovered by eating a meal."

That's right, the efficiency of the machine's use of magic can be far behind the efficiency of Miss Loria's own use of magic by several cities.

If you use a number from 1 to 5 to represent the efficiency level of energy use, then Alice's illusion is a perfect energy-saving 1, the universal machine's magic power transfer is acceptable 3, and Miss Loria is...

In the early 100s.

This time it was Alice's turn to be shocked. She didn't know what to complain about. Is it the magic power reserves like cheating?Is it the pink hair that hasn't returned quickly after using it?Or use the power to drive such a large machine to light the dark energy consumption of a lamp?

Her mouth smelled of lime, but at least at this moment she was deeply convinced that one of the hypotheses about the source of magic power...the theory of magic power organs is completely wrong.

Humans do not have such a large organ to hold so much magical power.

At least humans don't.

If Xiaofenmao can use magic power as efficiently as she does—maybe it has the potential to become a humanoid battleship.

After recovering, Loria bounced around to find a flat place to place Eve’s cabin. Alice stuffed another piece of chocolate that fell on the front of the cabin into her mouth. The rich aroma and sweetness temporarily suppressed the sour taste in her mouth. Slowly hold the car door and stand on the ground.

This time, I didn't have a weak leg and fell down... And the maid, at least the maid didn't faint again, but she just slumped on the large seat, humming a few times from time to time.

Ten minutes later, Alice re-activated the Defender of the Holy Cult with the high-pressure gas cylinder, and slowly drove to the place Loria had chosen—a leeward flat near a fairly clear stream.

Parking the steam car in a place close to the hut without touching the flowers and plants, she saw the soap-bubble-like enchantment flickering a few times under Luria's control, before disappearing, and a large-scale illusion was activated.

The use of magic props is not without consumption, and it is still a large amount of input at one time-Alice is no longer sour.

After a short discussion, they decided on the division of labor - Abigail, who had no fighting ability, was in charge of cleaning, logistics and cooking, while Luria and Alice were divided into several shifts to take turns guarding.

Although the illusion barrier in Eve's hut is perfect, you still need to be alert to the disasters that emerge from the ground and the occasional wild beasts that stray into it.

Alice goes first.

Luria thanked her and ran up to the second floor of the hut. This place is much bigger than it looks from the outside, enough for many people to live in.

Drilling into her own bedroom, she pulled off her skirt, kicked off her shoes, threw herself on the big soft bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't wake up until late at night.

Her whole body was sore, she didn't want to move, and she lay on the bed for more than ten minutes before Luria dawdled to get up.

After turning on the magic table lamp in the room, she looked at the pocket watch on her chest, it was 11 o'clock in the evening.

Oops, she overslept.

Thinking that the maid probably won't be able to get up, she didn't call Abigail. She casually arranged her hair, put on a thin dress, and left the room with soft slippers.

At the end of June, the wilderness is more stuffy than the city, even at night.

Along the way, she used magic power to light up the wall lamps she passed, and warm light lit up from all over the cabin, and the living room was brightly lit. She took a piece of bread from the kitchen table, poured another cup of cold tea, Know if it was Abby or Alice who stayed behind.

All kinds of flowers transplanted in the flower garden are blooming vigorously, some of which are obviously at odds with the current season.

Loria found Alice in the gazebo in the garden.

The silver-haired girl with a clear face was leaning on the recliner with her legs crossed, with a smug expression. One of the rifles she bought from Delgado was placed on the coffee table beside her, and she could reach it with her hands. On the coffee table was There was a plate of jerky and a cup of coffee, and her rugged double-barreled pistol.

"Are you awake?" Alice, who was resting her arms on her pillow, looked tireless. She looked at Loria and said, "It doesn't matter if you come back at dawn, children still need to sleep more, after all, they are growing."

Is half a head taller than me a big deal?Why don't you compete with Miss Crespo?

Luria, who was still a little guilty, immediately rolled her eyes at Alice. If she hadn't run into a bad guy and had to run away together, she really didn't want to spend a long time with this woman.

The matter of robbing her idol is over for now, but why do you often follow her chocolate and taunt her from time to time?

"The composite barrier here is really exquisite. You can see and hear the outside, but you can only see a false wasteland outside, and you can't hear the sound."

Alice sat up from the deck chair and said, "I have traveled through the wilderness many times, but I have never been so comfortable as now."

If it wasn't for avoiding the pursuit that might exist, she would have thought that she was enjoying a paid public trip.

"Okay, I won't disturb you to enjoy the quiet night." Alice took her coffee and gave up the recliner and said, "In case of an emergency that cannot be handled, just fire a warning shot and I will get ready right away. "

"Ah."

Loria nodded and touched the butterfly-shaped hairpin on her head.

Chapter 37 Wilderness (2)

Luria leaned on the recliner, twiddled the revolver with her hands, and kept loading and unloading the bullets. After playing for a while, she threw her two revolvers, one large and one small, on the coffee table, and took a sip. Cold tea, bites of bread, wiping the spotless Song of Roland with a handkerchief.

Lie down boredly and look at the deep starry sky in a daze.

Looking up at the starry sky from the place where God lives, is it the same as what she sees at this moment?

The night in the wilderness is completely silent, not even cicadas chirping, and the sound of the winding stream washing the land in the distance is very clear.

She looked at the pocket watch on the necklace, it was just the last day of June.

Reattaching the saber to her body, she held the small silver revolver in one hand and began to circle the house.

Does the garden seem to need no watering or maintenance?The soil was still wet, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, and there was an indescribably fresh smell, as if time stood still here when she put away the hut.

But Eve's note clearly said that the hut has no fresh-keeping effect, and people can't be stuffed in it to make it smaller together.

I don't understand, so I don't understand... Thinking of the land surrounded by a low stone wall behind the house, she took out a plate of plums from the kitchen, changed her shoes and climbed onto the low stone wall, eating and messing around. Spit core.

Fruits are not easy to preserve, so you have to eat them up quickly. Besides...maybe a plum tree will grow in a few years.

It's a pity that I couldn't buy some fruit tree seedlings.

The night alone was so difficult, it reminded her of some bad memories.

Memories of waiting in despair to die in the great cathedral.

She shivered, shook her head and didn't think about unnecessary things, the world was not destroyed, and she barely made a few friends.

Jumping off the low wall, Loria walked out of the bounds of the barrier.The undulating wilderness is covered with short, yellow weeds, and almost no plants can grow beyond the height of the knees—they are better able to adapt to the cruel environment than humans, and even the filthy disasters cannot completely eradicate these strong plants. plant.

Close your eyes and perceive it carefully for a while. Except for the hut, there is no magic resonance in the surrounding area.

When approaching the creek, the surrounding plants finally showed a sickly yellow-green color, and the magic light ball attracted several moths. They flew around mindlessly, but they couldn't break through Luria's magic force field.

She squatted by the creek like this, observing the surrounding ecology - a small unknown wild flower was blooming, and occasionally small insects crawled out of the hiding place, quickly escaped from the range of light, and made them feel at ease by hiding in the dark.

It reminded her of what mortals call flowing clear water—the source of life.

Is a gentle and stretching green belt less than one meter wide considered insignificant, or is it a miracle in some sense?

By accident, she carefully controlled the magic power to transform into an impact form, gently stirring the stream.

If she could crush wood, masonry, and flesh, what about water?

There was no change in the flowing stream, and she controlled the magic so that it would not spread, but just blocked the shallow water flow of the stream.

The stream didn't stir at all, it just disappeared after flowing through the formless and invisible magic of the most primary impact form.

After playing for a few minutes, Luria suddenly realized a problem-where did the stream water go?Can soft water really be 'crushed'?Even if it was really broken into an invisible state, why couldn't she detect any abnormalities?

She didn't feel that there was moisture around her or that the air had become humid.

Could it be that she just transferred the magic-affected substance elsewhere?

She couldn't help laughing at the thought of someone sitting at home suddenly being empowered by a stream.

Then the magic got out of control, and the shallow stream was blasted into a small hole, but after the water filled the hole, it continued to flow.

The playful Luria decided to change the course of the stream. As for the side effects of the magic—whatever it is, it doesn’t affect its use if you don’t understand it anyway. If you think too much, it will cause hair loss.

She used magic to open the way and dug a shallow ditch to lead the water away, but because she didn't consider the terrain in advance, the ditch dug deeper and deeper... Finally, she simply dug a hole more than ten square meters and one meter deep.

Squatting by the side of the pit she dug and watching the stream accumulate little by little, she found it very interesting... Changing the environment with one's own power is addictive.

It's a pity that the amount of water is too small. Loria curled her lips. The 'pond' she dug was so large that it was difficult to fill the stream. Thinking about it, she started to stay... What will this place look like in a few years?Do frogs grow in ponds?Birds migrating in the sky will stop here to rest, right?Will their poop fertilize the surrounding land?Will it get lively in here in the end?

Would a traveler stumble across this place and set up a makeshift camp?Will he set up a simple water crane to add water to the passing steam cars?

If this is a small river, she can dig a small lake. Maybe what she imagined will come true.
