Fixed-point delivery (1)

After getting off the carriage, Nolihua was waiting for him on the roadside, holding an umbrella and smiling, "Busy man, it's not easy to get a date with you."

Inger handed over his hand, Norihua took his arm, and the two walked into a factory.

This is an early power plant, with huge generators rumbling at work.

Norihua introduced: "According to your request, they use fire-attribute magic stones to heat water, and then use steam to drive large turbines to generate electricity. A fist-sized magic stone can power a machine for seven days."

In Gu Shu's world, the earliest generators were also steam-driven, but the fuel used by steam engines at that time was coal.

This world has the energy of magic stone. Compared with wizards directly using fire magic stone to cast spells, this kind of magic stone is much more efficient as an energy source and is cleaner than coal.

For the first time, Inger felt his usual wastefulness.

Norihua said with a smile as she greeted the workers: "Besides, facts have proven that AC is easier to supply electricity over long distances and on a large scale than DC. You should really see that guy's face, hahahaha."

Inger thought to himself: [Who? Edison?]

All he could think of was the face in the textbook.

Before he knew it, Noriha brought him to an engineer's studio.

It was packed with people.

There is a row of lamps in the middle of the table.

Not an oil lamp, a magic stone lamp, or a candle, but an electric lamp.

This light bulb is actually cubic, with the sharp right angles rounded off, but it's still a cube.

A man was testing the circuit by turning it on and off.

Inger looked at it for a while and whispered, "Of course it's better to connect them in parallel."

A group of people raised their heads at the same time.

Inger: “…”

Norihua smiled and said, "I think so too. After all, if there is any problem with the circuit in the house in the future, this kind of wiring will be more convenient to check, and the electrical appliances will not affect each other, right?"

One of the men in a hat wiped the oil off his hands and asked Norihua, "Ms. Midibai, would you like to introduce me to you?"

Norihua smiled and said, "My boss is also your investor."

Inger: “…………”

A group of electronic and mechanical engineers were all panicked and didn't know what to do.

Norihua pointed to the man in the hat and said, "Antu, the inventor of the generator and electric light, and the founder and chief engineer of this power plant."

Inger held out his hand: "Hello, Inger Nyka."

"sulfuric acid"

A pliers fell to the ground.

An Tu smiled and said, "I really didn't expect this. Thank you for your full support."

What was unexpected was his young age.

Inger: "You're welcome. I think everyone is doing a good job. If you need anything, just tell Norihua."

Norihua added with a smile: "Of course, I will accept the proposal depending on the circumstances."

Inger continued: "I only have one request, that the price of residential electricity be kept as low as possible on the basis of recovering costs and making a reasonable profit."

An Tu thought for a while and said, "Can I ask why? Even now, the estimated electricity price is cheaper than candles, oil lamps and coal lamps, not to mention magic stone lamps."

Inger said: "In the future, we won't be the only power plant. Other power plants will pop up soon. Ordinary people will choose cheaper power plants. It is not worthwhile to reduce prices after losing a large number of customers."

His main purpose is just to promote the popularization of electricity, but the way he put it makes it easier for others to accept it.

The people here are engineers, inventors, and businessmen.

Sure enough, Antu accepted this explanation and agreed with it very much.

Inger asked, "How's the wiring going?"

"The installation of the wires is going smoothly. We are currently only testing it in a part of the outer area close to the power plant. Shops in two blocks have already turned on street lights. Ms. Midi is very eloquent. Some families are planning to install wires and light bulbs for use."

Inger saw some on his way over.

He asked again: "What is the luminous flux?"

"About 400 candles. (≈400 lumens)"

Inger looked at Norihua and said, "Improve it and increase the power. Find someone to design the shape of the bulb. Make it big and luxurious. The nobles will probably like it."

Because the nobles' family homes were larger, they required greater light intensity.

Norihua smiled and said, "I knew you had the same idea as me. This is what I am best at."

“When can batteries be commercially produced?”

An Tu was stunned: "This...will take some time to improve."

He wondered how he knew he had also invented the battery.

"You can try making some small batteries, like this small light bulb. It's best not to expose the wire battery to the outside, but to make a platform to hide it. I think some people will like it. Even families who don't want to lay wires at present will give it a try."

Because large batteries are not very versatile in the later stages.

An Tu showed a hint of surprise on his face and said quickly, "Okay."

There was a glint in Norihua's smiling eyes.

She suddenly felt a faint sense of pride.

Her vision was never wrong.

They got together and chatted for a while, and Inger learned that the telephone had been invented in other places, although it was a little later than in his world. However, he could already foresee the signs of the arrival of the electrical age.

Norihua then took him to Ditsu's studio.

In fact, Inger has basically never been here, leaving it entirely to Norihua and Dietsu to take care of.

The studio has been expanded to several rooms, and people are busy coming in and out.

"There are so many people." Inger exclaimed.

Norihua smiled and said, "They are all people who work for you and receive your salary."

Inger saw Dietsu, with her black curly hair, flat nose, and dusty freckles, she hadn't changed much since the first time he saw her.

At the same time, he also saw a car, no, it should be the prototype of the magic car.

It looks very simple, not much different from a tricycle without a roof and a back seat.

It just has an engine drive device, pedals, handlebars, etc.

Ditsu was having an intense discussion with another person about the modifications and improvements.

Norihua explained: "That person was also recruited. He was the one who originally designed it. The two of them worked together to improve it. I don't know if it can be put into use now."

Inger was not worried about this. Automobiles were developing faster than he had imagined. He was more concerned about another issue: "What about airplanes?"

Norihua said: "We are testing flying on the lawn."

"So soon?"

They didn't bother the people in the studio and went to the lawn.

The hatched body flew several hundred meters and then fell back down.

Inger watched from a distance and asked in surprise, "It's already succeeded?"

Norihua complained, "Not really. The first time it flew a few angstroms (1 angstrom ≈ 100 meters), and later it was hard to fly more than a zeta (≈ 1,000 meters). It's also hard to control, and there has to be a wizard and a knight ready at all times, otherwise they would have fallen to their deaths hundreds of times. They're still modifying it, so it can't be put into official use like this."

Inger got goosebumps.

People living in history can never imagine that they are witnessing a huge historical moment.

The brother and sister who invented this great means of transportation were just a pair of young people in their early twenties. They invented it, improved it, and test-flew it with excitement. Now they have climbed onto the plane again.

Inger: "We will need pilots soon. We will select those who are interested in this. We will look at their physical condition and flying ability, not their identity."

Norihua nodded: "Okay."

After the simple box plane glided for a while, it swayed up into the air along the slope, only a few enders (1 ender ≈ 10 meters) above the ground. It glided slowly in the air for a few enders and then fell back to the ground. It only managed to avoid crashing thanks to the wizard's magic.

The curved arc symbolizes that humans will soon conquer the sky with tools they make rather than magic given by God.

Inger looked at the clear blue sky and squinted his eyes.

The next place they went to was a hospital, which was funded by his family and would also admit civilians.

The concept of hygiene in this world is not as bad as that of his previous world, but it is not much better either.

Inger looked all the way there, his brows never relaxed.

They both covered their faces with handkerchiefs, but the mixture of various smells was still unbearable.

He could sense without using magic circles that some doctors were also low-level wizards.

People of this era know basically nothing about bacteria and viruses.

Washing hands is common, but disinfection is rare.

Because of the presence of wizards, pathology develops more slowly, especially surgery.

But because he is not a medical professional, he doesn't know much about this industry.

"Please help me find some of the latest medical papers and books published in various countries. Help me find some people in China who are more concerned about the development of medicine. Regardless of age or status, I believe in your vision."

Noriha also smiled less and nodded in agreement.

They wandered around for a day, had a meal, and then separated from Norihua and returned to Neka's mansion.

Jason brought him another piece of news, so he didn't even have time to sit down and ran to his home laboratory.

He had the warehouse cleaned out and cleared out the stuff.

What he saw were two cylindrical blocks of magic stone that had been cut and polished smoothly. They were 3 amperes (≈30 cm) thick and several endores in diameter. Only a family as wealthy as his could afford them.

There is also a pile of unpolished magic stones next to it.

Looking at these, Inger couldn't wait to start the experiment.

He plans to design an ultra-long-distance fixed-point teleportation array.

A wizard, even the current highest-level 8th-level wizard, could not teleport at a maximum distance greater than one Zedo. Since there was no magic spell for fixed-point teleportation in this world, even Bixi could only teleport randomly.

Inger himself has already completed the design of a fixed-distance magic circle and has also tried the link communication of the mirror.

If we engrave a connecting spell on the platforms made of magic stones at the two places to fix the coordinates of the two points, and then engrave a transmission magic circle on them, using the magic stones as energy, just like the power of a train, would it be possible to cross the country of Quene and teleport from the eastern coast to the western border?
