Chapter 277 Big is Beautiful
In the open space under the White Castle dam, a strange-looking giant beast was lying on the ground.
It has a lizard-like metal head with two eye holes chiseled on the left and right sides of the skull, four long horns on the top of the head, and a complete and wide body extending backward from the neck and spine. The entire body is cast in brass.
Going down are arc-shaped ribs that spread out to both sides. Two rows of ribs arch up from the spine evenly and orderly to both sides, forming two rows of arc-shaped bridges on the ground.
The behemoth's limbs were stretched out and pointed in four directions. The brass was forged into pieces of bones, which were connected together to complete the closure of the body.
It also has two sets of wing bones on its back, as well as the humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, and phalanges, all of which are spread flat on the ground, like a specimen fixed by nails.
Finally, there is a bronze tailbone pointing straight away from the head.
There are circles of stone-built circular stairs surrounding the behemoth, and several wooden platforms are built on these rings, which serve as coordinates for fixing the position of the dragon's keel.
The brass furnace dragon looked like a specimen of a dragon that had been crushed and flattened, with its bones evenly spread out on the ground.
It is not a dragon, but it is faithfully restored based on the skeleton of a certain kind of dragon.
It can be said that it is a dragon, but the appearance of it being almost torn apart by a chariot is really a bit too much to say.
Lu Yao thought of crop circles.
In order to make this brass furnace dragon, Philes specially invited Pasha from the Dragon's Nest to serve as a dragon consultant.
Realizing that he could temporarily avoid the dragon blood ritual, Pasha rushed over immediately.
The metallic dragon beast fixed to the ground is a replica of the Dark Sun Dragon in exact proportion, including its skeletal structure and the proportions of its various parts, ensuring that it is faithful to the original.
But it is obviously impossible to bring this dragon back to life.
The scholars in White Castle decided to directly pave the ground, which would not only facilitate subsequent renovation and repair, but also make experiments easier.
Looking at the imitation on the ground, Pasha had a sweaty expression on his head: "Is this a bit..."
Apostle Philus said, "I'm really sorry, due to limited technical capabilities, the finished product doesn't look good. But after covering it with pottery shards, the brass furnace dragon will be much more normal. What you can see here is the internal structure."
"As long as we give us some time, we will be able to make a more realistic brass dragon in the future."
A thought came to Pasha's mind.
"This iron thing looks like I'll be skinned alive by the enemy after I die... What a miserable end it would be to die."
"Forget it, let's train hard first..."
After saying goodbye to Philus, Pasha flapped his wings and flew north.
In order to understand this new invention in detail, Lu Yao opened the Golden Wilderness and checked the background entries.
…
Different from the rough pixels on the outside, the structure of the brass furnace dragon embodies the skills and imagination of the Yao clan in various fields.
The skeleton of the brass furnace dragon is mainly made of brass, which can ensure that the skeleton has a certain degree of ductility and flexibility. If it is damaged, it can be replaced in time. The metal material also has a certain ability to resist impact.
The surface of the keel is covered with pieces of ceramic tiles, which can protect it from wind and rain, prevent the keel from rusting, and ensure that the operation inside is not affected by the external environment.
Further inside are wooden arches and dragon bodies, which are the muscles of this giant device, connecting the outer ceramic skin and the inner skeleton, and protecting the more core central structure.
In the arch and the dragon's body are glass tubes that crisscross each other to form the dragon's blood channels.
There were serious disagreements within White Castle over this issue.
Engineers believe that glass is too fragile and is not suitable as a material for important parts. It should be replaced by more stable and reliable metals or ceramics.
Potions scholars insist on using glass, and they have specific reasons for doing so.
Glass has better sealing properties, allowing the flow of artificial dragon blood inside to be observed most intuitively. This not only allows for detection of faults at any time, but also enables the most important quantification to be completed, determining the height and flow rate of the blood in the pipe.
The final solution was determined to be based on glass, but copper was used instead in local high-pressure and supporting areas.
The artificial dragon blood followed the previous plan and was injected into the glass blood vessel.
The steam furnace was cast into the heart of the brass furnace dragon.
Sixteen steam furnaces were divided into four groups, working non-stop, spewing out steam to push the artificial dragon blood back and forth in the many blood vessels, to ensure that the spell could be effective at the ends of the bones on both sides.
When casting a dragon language spell, the controller needs to stand at the casting position and hold the dragon bone handle in his hand so that the sound can be transmitted and driven through the bones.
The so-called casting positions are the circles of stone circular stairs surrounding the Brass Furnace Dragon. They are made of omnipotent stone. They are not only the dragon bone coordinates, but also the casting positions.
Standing at different casting positions, you need to chant different dragon spells. This is also an effective method that Longji has come up with after repeated attempts. Through the omnipotent stone casting position, the stability of casting can be increased.
The caster stands at the casting position, uses the dragon bone as the direction coordinate, uses the artificial dragon blood surrounding the dragon bone as fuel, and finally uses the dragon bone to complete the spell.
This brass dragon is like an automatic beverage machine. By pressing different switches, various beverages will flow out from multiple outlets.
As long as there is enough artificial dragon blood reserves, the eight surrounding spellcasting stations can cast spells at the same time, greatly increasing the efficiency of spell experiments.
The disadvantages of the Brass Furnace Dragon are obvious: it is heavy, fragile, and cannot be moved. It requires many people to maintain it, and the casting process is cumbersome. The only spells that have been confirmed to be successfully cast are [Spell of Spiritual Communication] and [Spell of Endurance].
But it is also a feat created by the Yao civilization that combined traditional natural knowledge with extraordinary cognition.
The simple structure of the Brass Furnace Dragon sent ordinary people into the sky, allowing humans to look up at the lofty spells of the past and begin to touch these dangerous and fascinating stars.
Even young children can cast spells as long as they recite the spell and follow the relevant procedures.
After the artificial dragon project was completed, the people in White Castle did not leave, but further improved and modified this clumsy magic monster.
At the spellcasting position, scholars conducted a series of spell experiments.
Lu Yao also saw the effect of the [Endurance Curse] for the first time.
…
[Endurance Spell]: Dragon spell that temporarily grants the target the [Endurance] attribute, the duration of which depends on the blood consumed. Casting is done by sacrificing a portion of blood.
…
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lu Yao couldn't help but think.
No wonder the dragons have such huge bodies. The stronger the dragon spell, the more dragon blood it may consume.
Big represents strength, big represents beauty, this is the aesthetics of the dragon clan.
Lu Yao clicked on the brass furnace dragon.
…
[Brass Furnace Dragon]: A magic device created by the Yao clan, using artificial dragon blood as fuel and brass skeletons as casting coordinates, and unfolding the spell effect through the casting position.
HP: 1012/1012Mana : 71/506Damage : 0Defense : 10Speed : 4 [Spell of the Spiritual Spell] (36 Mana)
[Spell of Endurance] (36/72/144 mana)
…
The brass furnace dragon has a very slow casting speed, but its advantage is its strong adaptability and clear manufacturing standards.
It is difficult for the Yao clan to give birth to another Yan Jiu, but in the future the Yao clan can create many brass furnace dragons to arrange and develop spells in different cities.
Lu Yao took a sip of hot water.
Until now, he still finds it a little unbelievable.
The birth of the steam stove was a pleasant surprise, but I didn’t expect its subsequent development to be so rapid.
In the past two eras, the development of the Yao clan has always been steady and they have made many outstanding inventions. However, in the third era, there has been a blowout explosion of creativity, which directly accelerated the civilization process of the Yao clan, and they went from walking to riding a bicycle.
Steam furnace, steam printing and dyeing, textile machine, printing, land boat, dragon language, brass furnace dragon...each one is a heavyweight player.
The acceleration has not stopped yet. All the pixel people are excited because they have touched the unknown territory and are running wildly on the route of exploring the unknown and expanding civilization.
Lu Yao felt relieved.
In the past, he had been thinking about how to advance pixel civilization. Now, he has completely entered the unknown territory and he doesn't have to think too much about it.
The internal circulation of civilization has basically taken shape and become stable, and our main focus should be on the external circulation.
Lu Yao began to formally consider whether it was possible to build a city in Yunzhong Temple and open up the Silk Road between the Ghost Realm and Zhulu Kingdom.
He was still jealous of the Bamboo People, the Reed People and the Funeral People.
After a moment, a new reminder popped up in the simulator.
【Shang Xun invented the steam carriage.】
[Because of the appearance of the steam carriage, the Yao people have developed a fanatical worship of you, and their faith has been greatly improved. ]
【The Yao people set off a new round of cultural craze. 】
The upper right corner shows that faith increased by 437,801 points, directly bringing the faith reserve to 21.66 million.
From the name, it sounds like a car made of a steam furnace? But this thing has a greater influence than the brass furnace dragon?
Lu Yao calmly took a sip of water, but still couldn't help laughing out loud.
You guys always come up with something new for me.
Thanks to: Wuyun supports 1200 Qidian coins, Zeng Xiaotiao supports 500 Qidian coins, Ye Shigu supports 100 Qidian coins, Renrunjia supports 100 Qidian coins, and Heiye Xingying supports 100 Qidian coins.
