Chapter 425: The Birth of the Magic Engine
To be honest,
Bruno really didn't expect that the technological advancement brought by the Alhambra Palace would be so powerful!
Bruno would not accept any rebuttal on this point ! In one word - the wonder construction system is awesome! What is a magic engine? As the name suggests, it is an engine that can be driven by magic power as energy!
This is an engine! Magic cars, magic trucks...even magic tanks! Magic infantry fighting vehicles!
This is no longer a simple technological advancement, it is simply a technological revolution! This is a technological revolution based on the magical industrialization of the Principality of Idar!
From then on,
The steel torrent is not a dream, the firepower covers the battle sky! Almost as soon as the word "magic engine" came into Bruno's eyes, his mind flashed again and again those war weapons that only existed in the previous life.
The roar of the artillery and the swift steel chariots...
These will no longer be just memories and fantasies in Bruno's mind, but a future that may be born on this land at any time!
indeed,
The Principality of Idar has no oil, but... the Principality of Idar has magic!
Whether for civilian or military purposes, from now on, the transportation in the Principality of Idar, and even the daily life of the Idar people and the social structure of the entire continent, will undergo tremendous changes!
If we ignore the second technological upgrade brought by the Alhambra Palace... then it would not be an exaggeration to call it the best reward given by the wonder construction system! As for the second technological upgrade...
Thinking of this, Bruno once again shifted his gaze back to the strange yet familiar word - [psychic signal receiving device].
At this moment,
In the port of Dorne, not far from the Valens Plains, the construction of the "Babylon's Tower of Babel" is proceeding in an orderly manner under the supervision of the Governor of the port of Dorne, Rak Frey.
There, countless craftsmen and laborers sent from the Principality of Idar were working day and night.
They had only one goal, which was to make the Tower of Babel stand tall as soon as possible.
Although……
They didn't know why they built this tower, although... even the great engineers of the Principality of Idar were confused by many of the structures of the Tower of Babel.
But Bruno had already issued a strict order. The Tower of Babel was different from any other wonders before. This building would not allow anyone to make any changes, and even no opposition was allowed! Therefore, during this period of time, there was a constant flow of ships between Dorne Port and Hobbs Port.
Originium, magic crystal, mithril...
There were even many cryolites from the Arctic ice fields! These extremely precious minerals seemed to be free of charge and were all invested in the construction of the Tower of Babel. The amount of money spent was staggering.
but……
No one knows the Tower of Babel better than Bruno! Bruno knows clearly that he only needs to wait until this wonder is completed, and then stuff all the Ebbinghaus snails that he has captured and forced to hibernate into it...
So……
An ultra-large signal transmission tower linked by spiritual power will officially stand on the land of the Principality of Idar!
Prior to this,
Bruno has always been worried that he has the Tower of Babel to send mental power, but he has no way to receive the information contained in the mental power.
And now...
The birth of the [psychic power receiving device] perfectly solved the problem that Bruno had been worried about!
The existence of the Tower of Babel can channel the disordered spiritual power of the Ebbinghaus snail, thereby radiating and covering the Principality of Idar... and even every corner of the entire continent.
According to the description given by the wonder construction system, this kind of mental power receiving device brought by technological advancement can receive and send simple information after processing! Closed loop! Family! This mental power receiving device is a bit similar to the wireless telegraph in the previous life. It cannot directly send and receive text information, but it can replace text and numbers through special codes, and then transmit information over long distances through coordinates! In fact, Bruno had also imagined whether the magic engine and mental power receiving device could be combined to form a magic version of the humanoid Gundam, but... obviously, it can't be put together! Because this thing is not as simple as it sounds, the mental power receiving device can only receive and send mental power signals sent by the Babylon Tower of Babel in a directional manner, so... the current Principality of Idar does not have the technical conditions and material basis to realize this concept.
but……
Even so, it was enough to make Bruno's heart tremble!
The existence of the [psychic signal receiving device] means that the Principality of Idar finally has a new, epoch-making means of long-distance communication!
If it is used in the field of people's livelihood, then even civilians thousands of miles apart can communicate through the mental signals sent by the Tower of Babel as a link.
If it is used in the military field...
From now on, the Principality of Idar will completely get rid of such primitive and backward communication methods as messengers and carrier pigeons, and intelligence from anywhere can be summarized on the desk of the Idar Central Intelligence Agency at the first time.
Exchanges and communications on the battlefield, the assembly and dispatch of troops, all of these will change with the birth of the mental receiving device.
If on this basis, with the cooperation of [Beren Tower], the Principality of Idar can even achieve ultra-long-distance communication with the Lost Land, providing considerable convenience for the Principality of Idar's future jurisdiction over the Lost Land.
In this way, Bruno's control over the Principality of Idar and the connections between various parts of the Principality of Idar will reach an unprecedented level at the moment when mental signal communication becomes increasingly popular! You know, reality is different from games.
It is impossible for Bruno to send a military commander to a place for a period of time and then take control of the land like in games like [CK3].
Why did he mobilize a large amount of manpower and resources to lay railway tracks?
Why build a transportation trunk line that runs through the north and south of the Principality of Idar? This is not only to enhance the overall national strength of the Principality of Idar, but also to improve Bruno's control over the overall situation of the Principality of Idar! And now...
In addition to laying the rails...
The standing of the Alhambra Palace made Bruno see the possibility of upgrading transportation and changing communication methods!
This is something that can truly enhance Bruno's control over the Principality of Idar. It is a technological revolution that can truly bring about earth-shaking changes in the entire Principality of Idar!
At this moment, Bruno sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, and pictures of the future of the Principality of Idar kept flashing through his mind.
His thought now can be summed up in one word: awesome!
only……
Suddenly, Bruno realized a very serious problem.
The Alhambra Palace did bring technological advancement to the Principality of Idar, but...
Where are these technological improvements now? How will they be given? Before this, the system usually explained how to give them, but this time... Bruno did not see any relevant annotations.
Shit! …
Three days later, Idar Public University, Polytechnic Institute Laboratory Building.
Eric Barrow pushed open the door of Lab No. 7 breathlessly, and raised the lunch box in his hand towards a figure busy in the lab: "Lennon Cohen, the lunch you asked me to bring, there is braised pork at noon today!"
"Put your things on the table outside the door. Don't forget the school rules. Food and water are not allowed to be brought into the laboratory!" Lennon Cohen said without raising his head.
Eric Barrow placed the lunch box in his hand on the table at the door of the laboratory, then tiptoed over and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Hand me the polished Mithril metal on the table over there!"
"oh……"
Hearing this, Eric Barrow quickly picked up the metal parts in the small tray and placed them next to Lennon Cohen: "By the way, will this thing really work? I think the gap is a bit too big..."
"I have checked all possible problems. There shouldn't be any problems this time!"
Lennon Cohen vowed.
As a freshman at the Polytechnic Institute of Idar Public University, Lennon Cohen not only ranked first in the entrance examination, but also showed outstanding talent after admission.
After all, Idar Public University has just started to enroll students and operate, and the teaching staff is not complete, so... in addition to daily classes, self-study and taking practical courses with scientific researchers are the main ways of learning for students.
The Library of Alexandria has a vast amount of books and documents (these books were donated by the wonder construction system when it was built). As long as one wants to learn and is willing to learn, any student can gain enough through his or her own efforts.
While studying, Idar Public University also focuses on cultivating the application of knowledge as well as students' thinking and practical abilities.
You know, Bruno never considers the cost when allocating educational funds to Idar Public University.
Although old Ford felt a little distressed at first, he highly agreed with it when research results such as steam locomotives and bicycles came out one after another.
There is no doubt that Idar Public University is a treasure trove.
Although it requires continuous investment, once there is a breakthrough, the rewards that the Principality of Idar can obtain will be extremely astonishing.
A few days ago, Lennon Cohen was greatly inspired by the invention of the steam engine. In his opinion, since steam can drive huge trains forward, then why can't magic, which is extremely widely distributed in this world, become another source of power? So...
Relying on his understanding and application of science and engineering knowledge, Lennon Cohen successfully applied for the use of Laboratory No. 7 in the experimental building.
Therefore, Lennon Cohen put forward his own idea - steam is just a transition, magic is the end!
His research topic is called "Further application of magic in the development of power devices"! However...
Experimentation and exploration are not destined to be a smooth process.
During this period, Lennon Cohen had conducted several experiments, but each experiment ended in failure for various reasons.
So, whenever Eric Barrow asked a question, Lennon Cohen would only answer in an uncertain tone.
But this time... Lennon Cohen was more confident than ever before.
"So sure?"
Hearing this, Eric Barrow couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Eric Barrow had been bringing meals to Lennon Cohen for several weeks, so naturally he had heard him mention the progress of the experiment.
But……
No matter which time he was asked, Lennon Cohen had never given such a positive answer! "I don't know what happened, anyway... a few days ago when I was sleeping, a brilliant idea suddenly appeared in my head!"
"Dream...dream?"
"I wish I could have that dream every night!" Lennon Cohen said seriously.
Just when Eric Barrow wanted to say something...
"Look! Look!"
"It's spinning! It's really spinning!"
Lennon Cohen suddenly shouted loudly with great excitement.
Hearing this...
Eric Barrow took a closer look...
I saw a heavy iron wheel driven by an extremely complex mechanical device, and it began to rotate slowly driven by the rope.
"You...you turned it with your hands?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Lennon Cohen said excitedly.
"It's magic! Magic...it really can become a new source of power!"
…
On the other side, the Idar Array Research Laboratory.
Miriam rubbed her slightly swollen head and asked Arnel beside her: "Is this considered a success?"
"There is no physical object yet, and we don't know the deeper principles, but... if my judgment is correct, after such a transformation, it should be able to receive the spiritual power signals from the [Babel Tower]."
"Damn it! When will the Tower of Babel be built?! Otherwise we won't be able to test whether this thing is useful or not!" Millie couldn't help but complain.
"It's not too late. The Duke mentioned before that the Tower of Babel will be officially put into use before April of this year."
"But that will take a long time..."
"Then let's do a simple test first. If there are no problems with the preliminary test, we will go to the Duke to report the good news. After all... the Duke is the designer of the Tower of Babel. I believe... he knows a lot more about the internal structures related to receiving mental power than the rest of us."
Yes,
Whether it is a magic transmission node like Stonehenge, or a special wonder that can stimulate mental signals like the Tower of Babel, as long as these building components will be directly presented to all Idar people, the wonder construction system will not give them inexplicable wonder bonuses.
The reason why Stonehenge can absorb and transmit magic power is because of the special arrangement of source stones and magic crystals, which enables it to attract more magic power under the influence of magic.
The reason why the Tower of Babel can channel the spiritual power of the Ebbinghaus snail is because of the special arrangement of cryolite and other rare metals, which allows the Ebbinghaus snail to use this as a basis to disperse their originally disordered spiritual power signals to all parts of the continent.
so……
Almost immediately after Bruno got the architectural drawings of the Tower of Babel, he handed over the task of researching and dismantling it to Miriam, Arnel and others, but...
What Bruno didn't expect was that the completion of the wonder brought by the Alhambra Palace actually allowed Millie and others to develop a cross-era communication device that could receive mental signals in one step.
Therefore, when Bruno's report from Idar Institute of Technology and Idar Array Research Laboratory was delivered to Bruno's desk as soon as possible...
His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
"Lennon Cohen? I feel like this name is familiar..."
Mondale thought for a moment and then said quickly, "He was the first in the Idar Public University entrance examination this year. You have personally marked his test paper before."
"The magic engine cannot be delayed. There is no need to save money. Give him an additional 500 gold coins in research funding! Send a group of researchers to help him. I want to see the real thing as soon as possible!"
"As you wish, Your Excellency the Duke..."
Hearing this, Mondale nodded quickly.
Thanks to "Tomato Sauce" for the reward of 6,500 points!
Thanks to "deeply touched nonsense", "☆light breeze blowing the setting sun☆", "NightingaleC", and "世纪灬逝殇" for their rewards!
Let’s take a break today and lay the groundwork.
