Jiang Feng opened the astrolabe and checked the status panel of the mechanical dog. He couldn't help wiping his sweat and complained to Gao Fei: "This girl Xiaoyun... has assembled a ridiculously powerful magic pet with her own hands!"
Gao Fei feels the same way.
With the robot dog's nearly three-digit health value, abnormal defense and damage-reducing armor, and a "force field ray" that is comparable to a laser gun, who would dare to believe that this thing is just a magic pet?
?
Compared to Goofy's imitator's familiar "Pearl Eye" Pearl, the combat effectiveness of the mechanical dog Toto is even slightly better.
With this ferocious mechanical loyal dog as a bodyguard, Xiao Ma will no longer have to worry about being interrupted by someone approaching him while casting spells.
Whoever dares to come close will have his legs bitten off by the dogs!
Take Toto, three people and one dog, and continue exploring the lower level of the ruins.
As soon as Gao Fei reached the stairs, he heard a gurgling sound coming from downstairs, like a large pot of boiling water.
Gao Fei came to the second floor out of curiosity. The scene in front of him reminded Gao Fei of his visit to the chemical plant in his junior year.
The entire second floor is like a huge chemical workshop, with transparent glass tubes as thick as an adult's waist connected to huge flasks, funnels, condensation columns, retorts and other alchemical equipment.
In these glass pipes, boiling liquid circulates, generating a large amount of steam that condenses on the inner wall of the glass.
"This is an alchemical laboratory."
Ma Yun looked at the ancient Yaling characters on the wall and tried to decipher them.
"The Yalings were conducting artificial rainfall experiments here. Unfortunately, before the experiment was completed, the city was hit by a sudden sandstorm. The residents of the city, including the laboratory staff, had to evacuate urgently. They have not returned to this place since.
A city submerged in yellow sand.”
"Unexpectedly, after many years, without supervision, this abandoned experiment was still operating according to the predetermined process, converting water into steam, condensing into clouds, and then forming rainfall."
"Rainwater is collected by glass pipes and enters the transpiration stage again."
"This simulated experiment on artificial rainfall has been repeated over and over again. I don't know how many times it has been cycled."
"If this system can cycle forever, wouldn't it become the legendary perpetual motion machine?" Gao Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Although it is a bit stupid to discuss energy conservation in a world with magic, but even magic has to talk about it.
It stands to reason that this system can operate to such an extent, where does the energy come from?”
"The energy that promotes artificial rainfall comes from the endogenous system."
Ma Yun pointed to the glass pipe.
"Brother Fei, look carefully at the steam in the pipe and see what it is."
Gao Fei followed her instructions and observed the steam surging inside through the wall of the glass tube, and found signs of abnormality.
The steam seems to be alive, sometimes gathering into a ball and transforming into a bat-like shape, unfolding a pair of looming milky-white wings and gliding along the pipe.
Gao Fei kept a close eye on one of the steam bats and tracked its flight path.
In the blink of an eye, the outline of the steam bat became blurred, completely decomposed into a gaseous state, and merged into the white air waves, leaving no trace behind.
Such strange scenes occur repeatedly in glass pipes.
"Part of the steam in the glass pipe seems to be alive." Jiang Feng also saw something unusual.
Student Xiao Ma nodded and continued to explain.
"There are many steam magic bats sealed in the pipe."
"This is a small elemental creature composed of water and fire elements. It has an almost unlimited lifespan."
"The Yaling mages who presided over this experiment summoned a large group of steam magic bats and sealed them in glass pipes, allowing the steam magic bats to provide energy for this artificial rainfall experiment."
"The steam magic bat continuously radiates heat energy to the outside, and can also convert it into steam form, increasing the pressure inside the pipe."
"In this way, the steam magic bat creates a high-temperature and high-pressure environment in the pipe, like a pressure cooker, causing the water in the system to be heated and evaporate. The water vapor rises and condenses into micro-clouds until it cools down and forms rainfall."
"Elemental creatures such as the steam mephit are themselves equivalent to an active heat source. They can continuously extract energy from the elemental plane to replenish their own consumption, thus maintaining the operation of this experimental system to this day."
Ma Yun stopped and thought for a moment, then added cautiously:
"I dare not say that this system can be regarded as a 'perpetual motion heat engine', but it is no problem to maintain it for hundreds or thousands of years. Taking the short life span of human beings as a criterion, it is not too exaggerated to call it a perpetual motion."
"In fact, in the world of high magic, elemental creatures have long been fully utilized by spellcasters as 'batteries' and 'laborers'. The magic industry based on elemental technology has created countless glorious ancient civilizations. We
The Yaling ruins where we are now is one of the examples."
"If this technology can be introduced into the real world and replace traditional fossil energy, the energy crisis facing the world today will be easily solved, and it will be very environmentally friendly!"
Jiang Feng smiled and thought about it.
"In fact, Tiangong is already doing this." Ma Yun revealed in a low voice, "I heard the webmaster said that Tiangong, as an organization, positions itself as a 'communication platform for technology and magic'."
"Since Tiangong was founded, it has been committed to promoting Blue Star's modern scientific and technological achievements to the magical world. At the same time, it has also tried to apply magic and magic technology to the real world, and has achieved many successful examples."
"For example, the elevator we take in Tiangong Dormitory looks like an ordinary elevator, but it is actually a magical device called a 'wind ladder'. The driving force comes from the 'wind element' sealed in the elevator pipe."
"When you need to take the elevator upstairs, press the corresponding button, and the wind element will transform into a cyclone shape, using the high-pressure airflow it generates to push the elevator cabin up slowly, and the descent process is similar."
