"The principle of a hot air balloon is that the air inside the balloon becomes less dense after being heated, and its mass is lighter than the same volume of cold air outside the balloon, so the balloon generates buoyancy and lifts off!"
"We don't necessarily need to use a hot air balloon. If we use another gas, a gas that is lighter than ordinary air, we can do the same thing. X"
"I remember that when I was at the Akkadian Alchemy Academy, there were alchemists who refined a gas that was lighter than air. Can we use this gas to create an airship?"
The Mike Alchemy Research Institute is mainly engaged in the manufacture of cargo-carrying and manned hot air balloon airships. A long time ago, there was an Alchemy Research Institute in the Akkad Alchemy School that was conducting this experiment. However, it failed in the end. It was not impossible. success.
The Mike Alchemy Research Institute, which is affiliated with the Wisteria Alchemy Institute, also started this alchemy research project. After Lars joined the Mike Alchemy Research Institute, he proposed a different and novel concept.
Afterwards, it took several years for a new airship to be born. Various materials were experimented to make it. The drawings were revised one version after another. The airbags expanded and burst again and again, and they racked their brains to transform the shape and design of the airship. .
Finally, it finally succeeded. The huge airship carried twenty people and cargo and flew into the sky. Although it could only fly in the sky at a very slow speed, the weight it could carry was also limited, and it could only carry out some short-distance navigation. , it is also very dangerous and has various problems.
The output of airships is also very low, because it is very slow, not very practical, and has not been expanded. The price is high, it is also very complicated to use, and it has no commercial value. Only some nobles and the military have tried to order it, but It also brought huge wealth to the Mike Alchemy Research Institute.
At the same time, the reputation of the Mike Alchemy Research Institute quickly spread among the alchemists. Everyone discovered that the person who created such a project that even the alchemists could not complete turned out to be an ordinary person with a fake alchemist. An alchemy trickster with the title of warlock.
The story of Lars spread among alchemists and various alchemy academies. The story of an ordinary person struggling for his dream is always full of contagion. Marina, the dean of the Akkad Alchemy Academy, also heard about Lars. For the story, I chose to meet Lars Brown.
After the conversation with Lars Brown, Lars Brown talked about his ideas about the steam engine. He said that he was inspired by the alchemists' use of wind and water power, and wanted to create a real power. mechanical.
Ms. Marina affirmed Lars Brown's intelligence and ideas, and accepted Lars Brown, who was not an alchemist and had no alchemist talent, as a student.
At the age of forty, Lars Brown finally fulfilled his childhood and student dreams and became a student of the legendary adventurer and alchemist Ms. Marina, and at the same time resumed his student status at the Akkad Alchemy Academy.
Within the Akkad Alchemy Academy, Lars Brown once again launched the research and development of steam engines, and took the lead in this project. With the support of alchemists, he finally launched the research and development of this project.
Following repeated failures in the early stages, although the steam engine was manufactured, its practicality was still very poor. After generations of improvements and manufacturing, it finally came into use.
Early steam engines were used in industry, using industrial production and industrial spinning, which further promoted the advancement of workshops. Various workshops using steam engines as power quickly began to appear throughout the city of Tephes.
And Lars Brown, until his death at the age of seventy-four, had not completed his promise to apply steam engines to ships. However, Lars Brown brought the steam engine to the world, and the seeds of change had been sown. .
When Lars Brown died, he was very indifferent and gently held the hand of his grandson Little Brown: "As long as you have a dream, you can change your destiny!"
After saying these words, Lars Brown walked away, and his nickname "Grave of Fake Alchemist Lars Brown" was engraved on his tombstone, just like his last wish.
Under the tombstone, there are also words engraved by his heirs, the last words he said when he left: "Having a dream in your heart can change your destiny!"
In the 215th year of the Holy Calendar, Lars Brown's grandson Little Brown finally built the world's first steamship. This was a wooden steamship. The huge wheels were very conspicuous on the ship and had not even replaced it. sail.
But this was a huge reform of the times. The fleet that had been sailing offshore once again began to explore the deep sea and the ocean. In the 223rd year of the Holy Calendar, the great adventurer Marina Bosse arrived for the first time. Yala Elf Continent, humans once again made contact with the Elf Continent.
The pattern of the world has changed again. Although the connection between the continents has not been completely opened, above the sea, there is still a world of monsters and Warcraft, and the routes have not been completely established, but it is a sign that the world has changed.
The era of steam engines has not yet begun.
Akkad Alchemy Academy, Marina is still young and beautiful in the dean's room. She finally got stuck in the age of her body and the decline in her mental activity. She broke through the fourth level and became a fourth-level alchemist. .
After breaking through the fourth level, they will have a lifespan of one thousand years. As long as they do not encounter unexpected deaths or other problems, the originally serious lifespan problem will be easily solved for them.
Marina is much luckier and smoother than her teacher Akkad in advancing to this level, and she is also much luckier than most wizards. There is only one chance, and failure will lead to death and mental problems. The serious consequences make most level four wizards rather not break through than try easily.
Marina, on the other hand, was very interested in the steam engine made by her student: "It's a pity that Lars does not have the talent to become an alchemist. Otherwise, with his wisdom, he would have been a great alchemist."
Marina used her own alchemy table and added various metal materials to create a relatively crude steam engine. The pressure of the first-generation steam engine was relatively low and the valves could not be automated, so there were many restrictions on its use. Marina also tried Make improvements on it.
The mechanical alchemical being on the side, Archademon, also tied up Marina as his assistant. At this time, Marina looked at Archimonde and suddenly thought of something.
"What if we use metal cells to make steam?"
"It itself has power. What if we treat it like a heart or an organ, make a steam engine with metal cells, and give it some of the characteristics of alchemical life?"
"It can self-repair, self-operate, and self-evolve like life. It can be controlled at will according to the alchemist's ideas. If extraordinary power is integrated into it and refined into an alchemical tool, what will such a metal-activated steam engine do? What kind of effect does it have?"
Marina felt as if she had opened a door to the world of steam. Although many of her ideas were still very vague, Marina felt that as long as she perfected and created a real metal-activated steam engine, a new era of steam would come. rw
