The Mythor Core is the pinnacle work of the great arcane masters of Netheril and the crystallization of human wisdom, comparable to the jewel in the crown of the gods.

Its function is very simple to say, that is, it directly extracts the most primitive magic energy from the multiverse through the astral vessels linked by the magic network, and releases the magic tide. This is equivalent to directly providing the entire Netheril with inexhaustible energy.

Inexhaustible energy.

Within the radiation field of the Mithron core, these primitive demons can make all quasi-magical items infinitely usable, so that arcanists no longer have to cast magic constancy after creating quasi-magical items.

At the same time, it is also the most important component that allows the floating city to ascend to the sky.

In the world of Levi's previous life, some scholars proposed extracting infinite energy through gravitational waves. If it could be realized, the two would be somewhat similar, but until Levi traveled to a different world, he had only heard of this term slightly.

Well, there is no way of knowing whether this theory is absurd folk science or a practical direction.

Since there are such creations that can easily extract unlimited magic energy, the development of slightly primitive and low-end kinetic energy will naturally be ignored by arcanists, and studying them is a waste of their precious time.

After passing on the knowledge inheritance, Levi was actually very interested in Netheril's secret energy core. He always thought that if there was a chance in the future, he would buy one and study it. Maybe it could be used to cooperate with his useless black skills.

Scientific and technological information brings out all kinds of wonderful sparks.

It's a pity that Netheril has long since disappeared into the dust of history. Even the few Mysel energy cores that are occasionally unearthed, because they do not have an operating base to connect to the magic network, are at most only used for collection, or are used directly by careerists.

As a weapon to threaten others with death in desperate situations.

Without any protective measures, a Miser energy core is basically equivalent to an unstable nuclear reactor exposed in the air. Anyone who comes into contact with it will be killed instantly. If an explosion occurs, all materials within a radius of hundreds of miles may be directly dissociated.

It's a pity that we don't have that thing in our hands now. Even if you want to be a radical who shouts "Ala Hu Akbar" and fools people, you don't have a chance. You can only use a half-formed conceptual model of a steam engine to fool you first.

Let’s look at the masters in front of us.

"Yes, the Mithron Core is indeed the pinnacle of stealing the power of the Goddess of Magic, but until now, few people have even heard of its name. On the contrary, this creation in front of us, Master Hogg, can you introduce it to us?

"

At first, a bald man in linen clothes took over Li Wei's words. He came over and bowed slightly to Li Wei, and then said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce myself, I am from Zaleseer on the surface.

, was once a level 9 evocation mage/level 2 arcanist, um, a red-robed mage, red-robed mage Fisher Taylor."

After hearing the infamous name of Red Robe Mage, another fellow mage was not too surprised. He seemed to have already known it, and his self-introduction was much simpler:

"Ige Orm, from Kaishui City in the north, a level 3 arcanist, met Lord Hogg."

Levi nodded, thinking that he had finally found his rightful master. Hotz couldn't tell the difference between psychic energy and arcane magic at all. The Calvin he brought might be a good and flexible man in breeding Caverns rats.

I can barely understand the principles of steam engines.

But without any formal experience in magic research and experimentation, he could hardly provide any effective improvement information.

If it weren't for the fact that he helped him solve the breeding problem of Caverns rats, Levi would have wanted to send this guy back to the Caverns rat farm for fear of dampening his enthusiasm for work.

I just didn't expect that among the two mages who came, there was actually one from the famous Red Robe Mages Guild. This was the most active violent element and the largest arms dealer in Coriel, and was once ostracized by many kind-hearted and righteous camps.

, and even thought that they were a big trouble for Corell.

But excluding the generally fond personality of red-robed mages, they can indeed be regarded as a group of scholars with a spirit of exploration and research.

As for the latter, Li Wei didn't have much impression, because Jishui City itself was gradually developed by a group of smuggling merchants for the common interests. It didn't have much legal genes at its roots, even though it attracted some legal practitioners with money.

If you come to teach, I'm afraid the level will probably not be much higher.

So the latter was temporarily labeled by Livy as a 'make-up' like Calvin.

Levi didn't waste time and said directly to the two former mages: "Very good. On behalf of Hoge Mining, I would like to welcome you. Although it is not something very profound, it involves commercial secrets after all, so I would like to invite you two

Sign this employment agreement first."

The two of them took over the newly drafted employment agreement from Remulu. After seeing the relatively generous salary and the non-competition confidentiality agreement that was not too restrictive, they did not show any dissatisfaction and signed it happily.

gave his own name.

"Very good, let's get started now. What I need your help in making is a metal artifact that has been developed. Its inventor was a blacksmith named Newkman, but he didn't get it at the time.

It is widely used, but it is very suitable for greatly improving our mining efficiency in Zeelandia, so I plan to trial-produce it to test the effect."

"I would like to hear the details." When the two former mages heard that the mining efficiency could be greatly improved, their expressions became serious, and Calvin on the side also nodded.

"You see, this thing is mainly composed of a cylinder, a base, a piston, a crank connecting rod mechanism, a flywheel, etc. Due to limited site conditions, I have only made one cylinder now, but this does not affect my understanding. Water boils into steam.

After being fed into the cylinder, it will push the piston inside and finally rotate with the flywheel. If a linked turbine and drill bit are added behind it, it will be a semi-automatic mining mule."

Its principle is actually very simple, so simple that even a former liberal arts dog like Levi has heard about it.

But it happened that it was such a simple instrument that liberated manpower and animal power in another world and promoted mankind's first industrial revolution.

However, in this place where extraordinary power can be seen everywhere, Corell may not be shocked enough by his appearance compared to those beings with the power of heaven and earth, but the changes it can bring to Zelandia, who is in the Dark Demon Network, are definitely intuitive enough.

!

"A great invention! It can change the lives of everyone in Zeelandia"

However, what everyone did not expect was that the person who uttered this sigh was not the three mages in front of them, but a dwarf whose figure was covered by the large kettle.

"Oh! Tiger! Why did you come to our Hoge Mining instead of guarding your gold miners' brotherhood? What you are peeking at now is the secret of our Hoge Mining. This alone gives me reason to ask you

The Brotherhood of Gold Miners declares war!”

Levi had long since discovered the boss of the guild next door who sneaked over when he was explaining the principles of steam, so he naturally knew what he was thinking about coming here at this time.

And Tiger's self-deprecation at the next moment also confirmed his suspicion.

"Commander Hogg, you have already used two trump cards in a row. If I continue to resist, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"

Li Wei continued to smile and said: "You can go find those drows to cooperate."

Tiger shook his head, "Zhuoer can't be trusted. To be honest, I was a little nervous before coming here, but after seeing this machine, I completely figured it out. It can create such fantastic objects.

It must be the deep love for the ore. Boss Hogg, we are the ones who are all the way. You can mention any conditions. Our Golden Brotherhood is ready to merge into your Hogg Mining. But these can be discussed later. I see this semi-finished product.

I'm so scared, can we get a sample to try first? I can't wait!"

""Li Wei really wants to say who else besides you dwarves has a deep love for those smelly and hard ores! He Li Wei only likes money!

But saying this at this time is purely uncomfortable.

And he really didn't expect that Tiger was much smarter than he thought. He saw the outcome of his resistance in advance, so he simply cut his losses and chose to merge as soon as possible.

What Li Wei didn't expect was that in the subsequent process of making the steam engine, the person who helped the progress the most was not the red-robed mage, but this dwarf who looked a little old and clumsy.

Li Wei only gave a brief description of spare parts such as pistons, crank connecting rod mechanisms, slide valves, steam distribution mechanisms, and speed regulating mechanisms. Coupled with the pictures on the ground, this master who is comparable to the fifth level of various types of work directly

It can be pulled out with bare hands using a hammer and anvil.

The entire steam engine is being rapidly completed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Originally, Li Wei was worried that he did not have the conditions to smelt pure iron, so he proposed to get some high-purity iron ingots and build a new cylinder. However, Tiger said that would be too time-consuming and it was just a model anyway. He took a look and said,

Although the big iron stone box made by Li Wei looks a little bumpy, its airtightness is pretty good.

After struggling for half a night, Li Wei and his team finally built the world's first steam engine with their bare hands in the mine.

"Quick, quick! Coal! Water! I can't wait!"

Tiger, the dwarf, seemed even more anxious than Levi.

As the steam chamber was filled with river water, the coal was ignited. Slowly, as the water was boiled, a thin sound came from the big iron box, and the piston also began to move. Finally, the connecting rod and the flywheel began to rotate rapidly.

The upper end of the entire steamer was accompanied by an astonishing white gas, making a harsh roar like a hundred kettles boiling.

The group of people looked at the rotating machinery with excitement.

The dwarf Tiger looked extremely excited, his eyes full of fanaticism, "Hahahahahaha! Is this the power of the steam engine! Bigger machinery, bigger snails, more ores, here we come!"

But at this moment, Levi heard the crackling sound in the iron box becoming more and more obvious, and an unpleasant feeling emerged in his heart. He immediately dragged Remulu away from the shaking one.

Big iron box.

Seeing that his master's posture was wrong, the alert Hotz immediately stepped out of the way, followed by the three masters who also realized something was wrong.

"Hey!" When the old dwarf noticed that the crowd around him suddenly cleared up, he finally felt a little bit bad.

boom!!!
Chapter completed!
