Chapter 548 [The Biggest Surprise]

"Yes, Jiancheng Fortress is a difficult bone to crack. By that time, as long as Panin drags on and drags the battle down, the problem of the grassland people not being good at fighting will gradually be exposed.

The siege was the most tragic, and many people would die. The grassland people were tribal, and the army was owned by tribes. At that time, facing the strong city defense, who would send to be the first wave of suicide squads, who would send to be cannon fodder, and who would send to consume... These were all problems that the grassland king would have to worry about.

By that time, no matter what decisions or orders the grassland king makes, there will always be people who are dissatisfied and there will always be people who feel that they have been treated unfairly.

Because in war, people will surely die and will definitely be damaged. This bowl of water cannot be absolutely flat.

If the king had been in the first place, even if someone was dissatisfied, he could only obey the power of the grassland king and swallowed his anger and obeyed the driving force. But now... when these dissatisfied people suddenly raised their heads and found that the high-ranking grassland king was no longer as powerful as before..."

Du Wei smiled, and after saying this, he gently put the dagger away and put it into his sleeve.

The middle-aged noble man pondered for a moment, frowned and said slowly: "This is indeed a variable. But... will it have any hindrance to our plan?"

"I think it won't happen." Du Weiwei said lightly: "We will eventually solve the stone of the grassland people. What Panin has done now will be beneficial to us in the end. By the way..."

Du Weiwei seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Is there any news recently that Bai Wang? He won't really mess with the guy, the Grassland King, right? This guy is a crazy guy, and he can do anything when he gets crazy. Although everyone is a relative, I don't like this guy very much."

"There's nothing else." The middle-aged noble man hesitated for a moment: "I just secretly sent someone to contact me and asked for food."

Du Wei sighed slightly: "It's almost done. The grassland people have been in the country for so many days, and the cattle and sheep they carry have been exhausted. We have implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields in our country. These days they have been fighting and have very little supply. Even if they have grabbed some in Nulin Province, there are more than 100,000 people, and people have to eat horses and chew them. It's winter... Well, you arrange it, make a few strongholds, deliberately release flaws, and let them occupy it. It can be regarded as replenishing some food for them. Even if you keep a dog, you have to give it a few bones to gnaw it regularly."

The middle-aged man was confident and thought for a moment and immediately said: "The places close to the east to the Nulin Province, the town of Dal and Motes, have hoarded some food in these two places. I will now order the defenders to evacuate and send out the news to the grassland people. They will definitely send people to attack. Well, the food stored in these two places is also quite large, enough for them to support them for a while."

"Yes, we must always let them hold on until the spring is blooming and the orcs go south." Du Weiwei seemed to be smiling.

…………

In Chen Daolin's new city, just behind the temple in the city, there is a remote courtyard in the mansion of the high priest who belongs to Chen Daolin.

There is not much guardian power near this yard.

In fact, Chen Daolin's number of troops was limited, and his own mansion had never had many servants or guards.

As a magician, he only needs to arrange magic circles in some important places, which is much more effective than laying out some guards.

The courtyard is very large. When it was built, a large cellar was excavated behind the courtyard.

The cellar was not too deep, it could only be considered as the underground half of the floor, half of which were exposed on the ground, and houses were built on it.

Several windows for ventilation are also exposed around the basement.

This is the place where Chen Daolin prepared for himself. Before the New Year, he had asked Master Kang and his disciples to specially build several unique stoves at the back and arrange some copper tubes, all the same as bowls.

These copper pipes are not made locally, but are ordered and shipped by Master Kang from the imperial capital.

Now in this underground magic laboratory, several stoves are hung with copper tubes as thick as bowls, winding around, and it looks like an instrument of a very large size.

At this moment, there were only Carmen and Chen Daolin in the huge basement.

President Carmen looked at something placed in the middle of the basement, with curiosity and confusion in his eyes. He walked around the thing twice before sighing: "Darlingchen, this... is what you said, what... power, um, power core?"

Chen Daolin smiled: "To be precise, the name of this thing should be called the engine."

"Engine?" Carman looked confused.

"Well, the magic engine." Chen Daolin smiled: "To be precise, it is the tidal magic engine prototype."

This series of strange names made Carmen obviously feel a little confused, but this was exactly the effect Chen Daolin wanted. Being able to show off in front of this great magician of the Roland Empire made Chen Daolin feel a little proud.

"Is this...and the car you made in the academy that you could walk by yourself without magic...?"

"The meaning is the same, but the specific ones are very different." Chen Daolin laughed and then took Carmen to the stove with several characteristic ones first.

"Here, burning with coal is used to generate heat energy. Well, you can understand it as producing the element of fire.

The fire element draws heat through these copper tubes. Well, because the thermal conductivity of the copper tube is very good. I can't find a more suitable material for the time being."

Then Chen Daolin pointed to the thing placed in the middle of the basement.

This thing is about three or four meters long and looks like an oval metal shell.

Chen Daolin lifted the lid on it vigorously.

"Director, look, the copper tube here is responsible for inducing heat energy, um, fire element. Then here, here is an air pressure chamber... Here is a suction channel... Then here, here is a air outlet... Here, I made a small wind device, you can see, on the inside of this thing, I made a small wind element magic array to suck wind... And here, here is a cylinder for storing energy... Here, this thing is called a piston. Uh, I don't know how to explain it to you. But..."

Chen Daolin thought about it and simply walked to the stove, picked up a hammer, and knocked it hard at a copper tube on the stove several times.

The sound of knocking was spreading along the copper tube to the outside.

"This is my order that the workers outside this lab will turn on the fire and burn the coal."

Soon, the fire started to burn, and outside the laboratory, a large amount of coal was thrown into the fire.

This kind of furnace is similar to the small blast furnace that Chen Daolin got in the real world, which made the local steelmaking method. This thing has a relatively low technical standard and is not difficult to manufacture here.

Chen Daolin built this small blast furnace in order to get some low-grade steel that can be used - it is always higher than the metallurgical level in this world.

The most important thing is that this small blast furnace can increase the furnace temperature and provide more heat energy, which is the so-called fire element.

As the blast furnace begins to burn, the thermally conductive copper tube absorbs heat energy and conducts...

The big guy who Chen Daolin called the "tidal magic engine prototype" lifted the lid and could clearly see the changes.

"I discovered a very special situation, at least as far as I know, that all the literatures of the existing magical civilization of the Roland Empire have not mentioned. This phenomenon, I call it, Tide."

Chen Daolin's tone was a little proud, but when he looked at Carmen, he found that Carmen's expression had not changed much. He just stared at the "tidal magic engine prototype" with concentration.

Chen Daolin felt a little disappointed, but continued to tell the story on his lips:

"All magic elements have such a rule during their operation, that is, the tide law. You must have seen the rising and falling tides of the sea. This is basically the meaning: when the magic element moves under the action of a certain force, after this force is exhausted, the magic element will have a return effect, that is, the function of returning to the starting point from the end. If you make a metaphor, it is like holding a power dart in your hand. After you throw it out, it will fly back after it reaches a certain distance. It also looks like a pinball. If you hit the wall, it will bounce back."

Of course, the principle of real tide is completely different from the return dart elastic ball. But Chen Daolin can only use this metaphor to describe it.

Otherwise, how do you ask him to explain the principles of tides under the influence of universal gravity and moon gravity to an indigenous person of the Roland Empire?

But even so, Carmen's eyes were already lit up quickly!

Chen Daolin continued: "Of course, the effect of tides does not mean that the use of magic elements can never stop. After all, energy is always consumed. The so-called perpetual motion machine does not exist...but it can greatly improve the utilization of this power. The utilization rate will be greatly increased."

Chen Daolin pointed to his seemingly rough "work".

"Heat energy... Oh, it is the fire element. After being absorbed, in this energy exchange room, I set up a small fire magic array, which will completely stimulate the fire element, and the energy generated will be drained out from these conduits. Also, here, the suction wind tunnel, I used several small wind magic arrays to compress wind and air. Do you mean compressing the air and wind power, compressing the air force to a certain level, and then transport it to a closed place, so that it will naturally detonate. If the energy needs to find an outlet, it will be sprayed out from these channels... Well, I have strengthened this channel and used wind magic to compress the wind elements inside the pipeline, to be precise, to control the direction of the running of the wind element...

You have to do this because you may not imagine how powerful this power will explode! If you don’t use the magic array to compress it, this thing will explode directly.”

The more Carmen listened, his eyes brighter!

She couldn't help but approached again, and looked at the buzzing "tidal magic engine" and saw that there were several special tubes at the end of the engine leading to one place.

But at the end, there was something, covered with a huge black cloth.

At this moment, there was a faint light coming from the black cloth, and it was obvious that something was "lit up" below.

"What's underneath this?"

Carmen turned around and looked at Chen Daolin in confusion: "Can you lift it up and show it to me?"

Chen Daolin showed a smug smile on his face: "Of course, Lord Dean! This is the biggest surprise I want to show you today!"

"The biggest surprise? Is this tidal magic the biggest surprise?" Carmen's tone was very excited, but he was excited, but he was a little serious: "Darling Chen! Just this discovery of the tidal effect of magic elements is enough to write into the history of contemporary magic civilization! The Magic Society will compile your discovery into the history of magic history! Your name will appear in the textbooks of the Magic Academy in the future!"

"No, no, no, any discovery of principles must be applied in actual application, so that they are valuable." Chen Daolin smiled, walked over, reached out and grabbed the corner of the black cloth: "Dean, this is the biggest surprise I have shown you today! With this tidal magic engine... then, it solved a huge problem that has always troubled me!"

Speaking of this, Chen Daolin deliberately paused, coughed again, and cleared his throat: "The following is the time to witness the miracle!"

After saying that, he suddenly lifted the black cloth up!

In an instant, Dean Carmen exclaimed!

A black base, a black long tube-shaped tube, an energy ball with faint light began to condense from the originally black and black body!

Under this energy ball, the magic symbols that were originally covered with patterns on the base were emitting light faintly! Just as it spread, gradually spreading all over the body!

"Magic Cannon!!"
Chapter completed!
