The iron block finally burned through the table and fell to the ground, and only then did the thin flying sword regain its blade shape.
There is no doubt that the influence of this alchemy on the outside world is not limited to cutting.
Even if that's not the intention of the technique.
Being able to heat up an iron block to melt it in a short period of time is undoubtedly the result of a large amount of energy being transmitted from the blade to the target, causing the latter's internal energy to increase dramatically.
"Can you take the initiative to remove this outer shell and allow the inside of the flying sword to directly contact the iron?" Xia Fan took out a new piece of pig iron and placed it on a relatively intact part of the table.
Luo slightly showed a troubled expression. She controlled the flying sword to swing left and right, and inserted the sword tip into the iron block several times. However, except for leaving a few sword grooves, she could not reproduce the previous effect, "I … There is no way to take them apart, in my understanding, they are a whole in themselves.”
"Probably because it still needs practice." Xia Fan comforted, "Even the listener's technique, I don't think it is something that can be achieved overnight."
He would never think that alchemy had only one use for which it was first invented.
Mo Yun's Celestial Movement Instrument and his improved earthquake justice are both strong evidence for this point of view.
What's more, even if Luo Qingqing is unable to actively release the energy in the sword body in a short period of time, it is not difficult to trick the blade into disconnecting by blocking it.
In Xia Fan's eyes, the listener's sword has become a hub.
One end of it is connected to Qi, and the other end is connected to the simplest primary energy source - heat energy. As for how the heat is generated, whether plasma or something else is constrained within the sword does not affect the characteristics it expresses.
Although the earthquake technique can also heat iron blocks by short-circuiting, electricity is essentially a secondary energy source. There is an extra layer of transformation in the conduction, and the effect is far less direct than that of a flying sword.
This is also true from the actual performance of the test.
The blade that Luo Gently summoned not only had a short heating time, but also a huge temperature increase. If the temperature was measured by the color of the iron block, the bright white of the contact point meant a high temperature of at least 1,300 degrees.
This potential is enough to melt steel.
If there is steel, in what areas can Jinxia City achieve breakthroughs
There are too many answers.
Xia Fan could come up with a lot of ideas if he just thought about it, such as providing better processing tools and master parts for the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, strengthening the armored defense capabilities of machine beasts, casting more durable electromagnetic guide rails, and using Regarding the R&D and manufacturing of breech-loading artillery... More importantly, these projects do not require many theoretical breakthroughs. As long as the materials are in place, the results can be said to be natural, unlike some complex technologies that cannot be worked on for seven or eight years.
Likewise, having more solid and durable tools, in turn, can promote the spread of craftsmanship and technology. This positive interaction is exciting just to think about.
Thinking of this, Xia Fan looked at Luo Qingqing with eyes that were a little hotter.
"Uh..." The latter couldn't help but take a step back, "Did you find any new problems?"
"No." He said seriously, "It's great that you can stay in Jinxia City."
Just as the two were "looking at each other", a guard knocked on the door and poked his head in. "Mr. Xia, Her Highness the Princess said she has something urgent to see you."
"I understand." Xia Fan responded, and then said helplessly, "It seems that the test can only start here."
"It doesn't matter." Luo cleared his throat gently, "For me, I can do this kind of thing at any time."
"If you feel bored, why don't you go find Luo You'er? Ask her to take you to the Machine Building Bureau."
"Machinery Bureau? Isn't that a separate department of the Ministry of Industry?"
"Indeed," Xia Fan smiled? "But now there is one in Jinxia City? And the person in charge is one of the original main officials of the Mechanism Bureau."
Luo Qingqing couldn't help but said in surprise, "Could it be that this person is also..."
"That's right. Her name is Mo Yun? She has been Ning Wanjun's playmate since childhood, and she also knows what the princess wants to do? So you don't need to be wary of her." Xia Fan explained? "Of course? I didn't ask you to go there because I didn't want you to help her with anything. Mo Yun is teaching a class recently, and the books he teaches are written by me, so they can only be read in Jinxia City. You should like it Let’s read a book. It’s hard for your eyes to see now? If someone tells you, I think it will be much easier... "
"Wait?" Luo responded lightly, "Can you still write books?"
"Yes, and I have saved several copies."
Although by the standards of textbooks, these books cannot be considered qualified? However, it is still sufficient as an enlightenment reading.
"Okay, then I'll go take a look." She was obviously somewhat interested.
"Right? There's one more thing -" Xia Fan walked to the door of the courtyard and suddenly stopped and said, "I thought of a name that suits your new technique."
"Tell me about it?" Luo's gentle tone undoubtedly didn't hold much hope.
"The outside is as hard as iron, but there is hidden fire inside. Let's call it dragon scale." Xia Fan said.
…
After he left, Luo gently summoned four flying swords and suspended them vertically in front of him.
They are light and clear, and really don't look like anything in this world.
Dragon scales...
Thinking of the other person's demeanor when he said this easily, Luo Qingqing had already guessed that he had no idea that he had violated a taboo again. A murderous weapon, bearing the name of a dragon is definitely a matter of teaching people how to handle it. You must know that the murder weapon is ominous, and taking the name of dragon implies the intention of killing the dragon. I am afraid that only Xia Fan, who knows very little about secular rules, can say such words without any scruples.
But I have to say that this name suits Luo Qingqing's heart.
Using the power of dragon scales to destroy the royal family that claims to be the incarnation of a true dragon, is there a more appropriate ending than this
"From now on, you will be called Long Lin." Luo whispered softly.
As if sensing the controller's thoughts, the four flying swords vibrated at high frequency and emitted a continuous buzzing sound, as if confirming their birth.
…
Xia Fan came to the lobby of the villa. Ning Wanjun and his subordinates were already arguing around the table.
"Your Highness, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Ah, you came just in time." Ning Wanjun patted the empty seat next to her and motioned for him to come over quickly, "Someone has sent news that the western border of Qi Kingdom has been invaded by Gao Kingdom, and Leizhou has been in chaos."
"What?" Xia Fan couldn't help but be stunned. "Is the news reliable? Who sent it?"
The princess looked a little solemn and said, "They are refugees."
"Refugees... coming from Leizhou?"
"Yes. A small number of people have already entered the Shenzhou territory. Every place has begun to strictly guard against it, and we only learned about it." Staff Officer He replied, "Considering that Leizhou and Shenzhou are in the west and the other in the east, It spans most of the Qi Kingdom, so the change in the Western Territory may have occurred for some time."
"But there is no news from Gyeonggi. This can only show one thing. The imperial court concealed the situation of the war, and the intensity was quite large." Ning Wanjun added, "In addition, through personal connections, I found out about another person. The thing is that the Holy Emperor is in quite poor physical condition, and Rujin has already recruited the Imperial Army into the city."
"Do you think the emperor's illness is related to the war?" Xia Fan asked.
"I can't deduce this," Ning Wanjun said worriedly, "but the news is still blocked, which means that the war situation in the west has not improved. The real situation may be worse than we imagined."
