St. Alvin City, Long Island with beautiful scenery in late spring and early summer.

In a large clearing that has been completely cleared, five transparent [Magnetic Stones] with the appearance of crystal pillars are distributed in the shape of a pentagram at a distance of a hundred meters.

Next to each [Magnetic Stone] stood two capable young men wearing uniforms of Garriott National University.

"Everyone is here, ready...activate [Magnetic Stone], maximum power!"

"As you command!"

Following the order from Alvin, who was standing at the center of the five-pointed star, the fingertips of the ten young people who had been waiting for a long time flashed with lightning, and at the same time they activated the powerful energy they were responsible for.

crackling...

Buzz——!

The blazing white light shined brightly, and a huge electric field instantly descended on the area. The air was easily penetrated, and bright silver electric snakes danced wildly in the field of vision.

Except for Alvin, who was at the center of the pentagram, a small number of onlookers headed by Levia retreated one after another.

But these ten students from the National University stood still.

Although the electric light flashed on his body, he did not seem to be affected by the huge energy that could instantly kill an elephant in its aftermath.

Just because they have joined a very special new extraordinary profession - [Electrical Engineer], and the mysterious source is Ivan, a powerful [divine creature] who is good at using the power of lightning.

The first-level apprentice-level [Electrical Engineer] has almost no practical ability. It is a more thorough life occupation than the wizard apprentice, and the difficulty of promotion is not too high.

Prerequisites:

I have completed the "Basics of Electric Power", which includes three main courses: circuits, electrical machinery, and power systems, and has completed the accumulation of theoretical stages.

Then, according to the existing drawings of more than ten kinds, I hand-made a practical electrical prop to complete my own practical class.

Finally, he took a specially made [Electrical Potion], the main ingredient of which was the extraordinary properties of a weak, low-level extraordinary creature called "Electric Mouse".

After successfully taking up the position of [Electrical Engineer], a series of abilities with [Life Magnetic Field] as the core will be awakened: [Current Sensing], [Passive Insulation], [Versatile Skills], [Electromagnetic Pulse], [Analog Voltage]...

.

Equivalent to being born with: wire cutters, needle nose pliers, round nose pliers, screwdriver, electrician's knife, adjustable wrench, electric test pen, ammeter, voltmeter, electric meter and multimeter... and other tools.

Well, the protective measures are all in vain, so roll up your sleeves and get started.

Now, it is also a practical class that Ivan is leading this group of freshmen [electrical engineers].

Although it is quite high-end for them and even for this era.

Crack!

In the electric light with astonishing energy, the tree stump in Ivan's hand quickly dehydrated, carbonized, and finally turned into a piece of black charcoal.

With a wave of his hand, pure toner as fine as dust has been formed.

Immediately, Ai Wen's [Magic Eye of Insight] shone brightly, and a large amount of carbon powder gradually aggregated into a dense black carbon ball.

The majestic electric energy emitted by [Magnetic Stone] has penetrated into the unknown microscopic realm through Aiwen's body, creating an extremely magical change.

Ivan has long determined the two directions for the development of [Heraldary Knight] - the "macro world" and the "micro world".

The extended application of "Macro World" is [Weather Wizard].

Not only is it equivalent to an enhanced version of [Storm Djinn], but it can also leverage the power of the world itself with its majestic "life magnetic field" to induce large-scale meteorological disasters beyond the fourth level.

The "microscopic world" can be extended to the atomic level.

At this scale, molecular bonds and atomic bonds are just an electrical attraction. As long as the control is strong enough, the composition of matter can be changed at will and the most magical alchemy can be achieved!

It's just that the difficulty of interfering with the "microworld" is much higher than that of the "macroworld". It wasn't until his spiritual power reached the fourth level, relying on [divine] power that Ivan finally had the ability to make his first attempt.

then.

Under the gaze of onlookers who endured the bright light.

The "carbon ball" that seemed to have been completely compacted was compressed little by little again, gradually taking on the texture of a crystal.

This is because the arrangement of carbon elements is undergoing a gorgeous qualitative change from "charcoal" to "diamond"!

Diamond is a colorless regular octahedral crystal composed of pure carbon, linked by carbon atoms with four-valent bonds.

Since the "C-C bond" is very strong, all electrons participate in the formation of covalent bonds, and there are no free electrons. The structure is relatively simple, and it also saved a lot of trouble for Alvin's first practice.

Creak! Creak!...

It was not until half an hour later, with the assistance of ten [Power Engineers], that the carbon ball in Ivan's hand finally turned into a black and somewhat turbid crystal.

call--!

Looking at the final product, Alvin, who was sweating profusely, let out a deep breath.

Electric alchemy...successful!

Although the atomic bonds were forcibly opened under an unlimited energy supply, at least 99.99% of the energy was wasted, but the expected goal was achieved in the end.

And as long as you find the trick, even artificially refining gold is really not a dream.

In the "Periodic Table of Elements" that Olivia has gradually perfected, the element number of mercury is 80, and the element number of gold is 79.

As long as one proton can be taken away from the nucleus, mercury can be turned into gold with one less element number!

Supernova explosion? No need at all.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

"Evan, it's really amazing! This kind of material change is more magical than the various new products launched by the 'Steam and Mechanicus'. Is it really technology?"

Levina outside the court looked at the huge diamond in Alvin's hand and clapped her hands gently. Even if she saw it with her own eyes, she still felt a little unbelievable.

In other words, since Watt was promoted to [Representation of Truth] last year, the experiences during this period have continued to impact Her Majesty the Queen's worldview.

Nowadays, the "Tulip Alliance" is an unprecedented and huge force that spans the entire material world. Its prosperous economy and market provide fertile soil for scientific and technological progress.

The center is Bekele, the capital of the Phaletis Kingdom, dominated by the "Cult of Steam and Mechanicum", and the city of St. Alvin in the Principality of Garriott, dominated by the "Tree of Life School" and the "Gem School".

The two scientific and technological routes are orthogonal to each other, blooming with brilliant light and heat.

Under their guidance, science gradually entered human vision.

Even though many common sense problems have not been universally solved, in many fields it has shown more outstanding imagination than modern society.

In "Steam and the Mechanicus", the new profession "Steam Master" is very similar to "Electrical Engineer", and the equipment manufactured is extremely energy efficient.

It can be run as long as coal is available and does not require too many logistical supporting facilities like electricity.

With the assistance of [Hephaestus Cube], a series of explosive inventions have gradually become popular in Phaletis.

Some people on the street are still riding horse-drawn carriages, but some people have begun to take the lead in using steam-powered vehicles; in addition to normal muskets, more powerful steam-powered firearms have appeared in the army...

Levina even saw the prototype of a machine called the "Difference Engine" in the Church of the "Steam and Mechanicus".

It contains more than 4,000 brass parts and weighs 2.5 tons. The error of the main parts can reach a high accuracy of one thousandth per centimeter. It is one of the pinnacle representatives of the steam industrial civilization of this era.

It can automatically handle the calculation process of different functions according to the designer's intention, increase the multiplication speed and improve the accuracy of numerical tables such as logarithm tables.

Under the leadership of Watt, the new [truth embodiment].

The Kingdom of Phaletis, the place that took the lead in completing the "Steam Industrial Revolution", has a vague flavor of steampunk.

Even Levina, the central figure at the center of world change, is beginning to lose some of her understanding of the world.

I couldn't help but recall again what the President of Princeton said: "The only extraordinary profession in this world that can threaten the gods is the wizard."

It’s not that the power of the wizard can defeat the true God who is high in the sky, but that he can use his extraordinary creativity to initiate changes in the world from the bottom. In other words, he can lead the trend!

Naturally, there was a group of [electrical engineers] to clean up the experimental site. Ivan walked towards Levina and threw the big diamond in his hand to her.

"Let's play with this too."

By the way, he winked at Levina:

"Having seen these inventions of ours, do you feel that the future of this world is destined to belong to the 'Electrical Age'?"

"Keke, your internal combustion engines and electric motors are only prototypes now, and they are not as good as Mr. Watt's various models of steam engines.

But I think Olivia’s ‘Petrochemical Industry’ has a great future, hey, doesn’t it look good?”

He chuckled and poured cold water on the "self-proclaimed" Ivan, but he gently lifted up the gorgeous skirt of his palace dress and spun it around in front of Ivan like an elegant swan.

With Aiwen's determination, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the beautiful calf exposed by Her Majesty the Queen.

The smooth and white calves are wrapped in a layer of close-fitting transparent flesh-colored fabric. The already flawless limbs are even more charming under the hazy cover.

This queen who gave away welfare for free also made Alvin look at it slightly*.

"Ahem..."

There is no doubt that this layer of fabric, which seems to be thinner than gauze, is a creation of the petrochemical industry - stockings.

It was also called by Levina, a loyal fan: "The greatest invention of this century!"

Oh, woman.

But it also illustrates a problem from the side: no matter how prosperous steampunk is, how can it compare with the splendor of the "Electrical Age"?

In terms of energy density alone, coal will completely lose to oil.
