Sparkling energy sparks jumped between the rune organs, and the surging magic power was distributed from the power ridge to each magic energy engine. Accompanied by a loud siren, on the experimental platform hundreds of meters long , The train consisting of four sets of power carriages and a large number of complex linkage mechanisms, control systems, and energy supply systems began to move forward slowly.
On the observation tower a hundred meters away from the platform, Rebecca and the technicians concentrated on every detail of the huge, complex, and precise mechanical monster, every movement of the wheels, and every movement of the vehicle. Every roar that came out of the body.
The train traveled tens of meters, and a power carriage located in the middle section suddenly reduced its output according to the predetermined plan.
According to the design, the linkage mechanism at the front and rear of the car will react immediately, and the misplaced rune trigger will redistribute the energy supply of all power cars, and loosen the axle drive of the faulty car, so as to prevent the faulty car from disrupting the balance of the entire train. Even damage the mechanical structure of the linkage.
However, an exceptionally loud noise came from the connector between the second and third power compartments. Along with the loud noise, a bright arcane flame suddenly spewed from the magic obelisk on the top of the compartment. Immediately afterwards, the power ridge connected to the magic energy obelisk exploded, and the magic power that could not be released instantly erupted from between all the rune substrates, and the two power carriages were completely swallowed by the large group of flames almost instantly. .
The fireball formed by the explosion soared into the sky on the experimental platform, and slowly condensed into the word "shame" in the air.
In this virtual testing ground where costs and consequences are basically not considered, this small special effect can serve as a good warning and spur to project participants.
Countless bright and illusory lines trembled and wandered around on the platform, and the carriages and fireballs destroyed by the deflagration stagnated in mid-air one after another, showing a clear decomposition structure. On the observation tower in the distance, Rebecca Scratched his head.
"Oh my god," the Marquis said with cold sweat on her face, "Fortunately, we did the experiment here..."
Kamel on the side also made a helpless voice: "If it is in reality... Ms. Hetty will definitely go crazy."
Rebecca curled her lips, not daring to imitate the scene where her aunt hanged herself up and beat her after going crazy, she waved her hand: "Let's check the reason."
The upper layer of the observation tower immediately separated from the tower body, carrying all the technicians to the ruins of the experiment that had stagnated.
In this experimental space formed by virtual reality, everything becomes extremely convenient.
The two project leaders and a group of technicians began to analyze the cause of the failure. They observed carefully, calculated carefully, assumed, discussed, verified, and debated... For the birth of a brand new thing, people and their wisdom were gathered together , They do not use strength and status as the benchmark, but pure "knowledge and truth" as the criterion, and the whole team starts to get busy.
On the edge of the crowd, Daniel, who participated in the "Cecile-style scientific research" team for the first time, looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.
This was the first time he participated in a team activity after becoming a servant of the "Outsider Wanderer". However, the atmosphere and form of this team activity were completely different from what he had imagined.
He had imagined that this would be a gloomy and depressing group, or a strict and cruel organization. Most of the secret organizations were like this. He also imagined that the working atmosphere here would be tense, mysterious and full of taboos and heretical knowledge. But he never thought that the real atmosphere here would be like this.
These people seem to be simply pursuing new knowledge and discussing technical possibilities. In this "secret religion" established by wanderers from outside the territory, people's motivation for pursuing truth is even stronger than that of the glorious Royal Mages Association. But also simple and pure.
Daniel, who spent his entire youth and middle age in the Royal Mages Association, and spent more than ten years as a cult member in the Order of the Eternal Sleepers, is not used to this "pure" atmosphere, or in this era of the world. None of the mages and scholars here would be used to this unprecedented atmosphere. However, seeing these people blushing over a technical issue and jubilantly over a few calculation results, Daniel couldn't bear the slightest resistance.
He couldn't help but think of his youthful days, the days when he first came into contact with the mysteries of magic. In his faded long-term memory, it seemed that only those days still had a trace of warmth and warmth. colourful.
The unknown field and the process of seeking knowledge are the most fascinating.
Beside the experimental bench, Rebecca pulled a group of twisted and deformed metal parts closer to her eyes. She shook her head: "The mechanical structure of the linkage device is flawed, too complicated, which reduces reliability..."
As she spoke, she suddenly noticed Daniel standing not far away, so she waved: "Master Daniel, what do you think?"
Daniel woke up from a short thought. He heard Rebecca's greeting and said as he walked over, "You don't need to call me Master, just call me Daniel."
Although this girl named Rebecca is still young, she is one of the first emissaries of the wanderers outside the territory, and she is also a descendant of the bloodline of the body currently used by the wanderers outside the territory. Although the reason is unknown, the master seems to regard her as a real After knowing this, Daniel will naturally be more polite in front of Rebecca.
In addition to Rebecca, the ancient arcanist named Kamel is also extraordinary. He is an ancient strong man who has survived a thousand years ago, the great magister of the Gondor Empire, and even transformed himself with the power of gods. People are also not to be underestimated.
Compared with such a person, I, a high-level mage from the Royal Mage Association, is really nothing, even if I have taught a legendary strong man, so what? Do Outlanders lack legendary power
The pure-hearted Rebecca couldn't imagine what the old mage in front of her was lamenting. She just asked the other party's opinion: "Daniel, what do you think is wrong with the magic train?"
Daniel glanced at the magical creation with a complex structure and incredible mechanical structures everywhere, and shook his head with a wry smile: "To be honest, I haven't fully understood its principle yet... I can only help you build a virtual environment That's all."
Daniel is an expert in the field of dream spells and virtual reality. He is here as a consultant to help Kamel and Rebecca build the laboratory environment, but for the field of magical machinery... Although he also knows a little, his professionalism is obvious. Can't compare to Rebecca.
Rebecca herself didn't expect to get any answers from Daniel, she just shook her head: "The two ideas are very difficult to go..."
"After the power distribution, the overload and interference problems of high-power engines have indeed been solved, but the mechanical complexity and control difficulty have suddenly increased several times," Kamel said in a low tone. "It is necessary to ensure that the multiple power cars can run simultaneously , synchronous control, but also to ensure that the entire system can be automatically trimmed after some of the cars fail, and can shield the faulty car section... With the existing technology and materials, we cannot create a reliable control mechanism."
A technician next to him couldn't help but said: "After all, the train chassis is limited, and we have too little room to play..."
"On the one hand, the large-scale power group cannot be produced, and on the other hand, the mechanical structure is complicated and unreliable." Rebecca scratched her hair again, which was already a mess. "Maybe we should reorganize all the parameters..."
Daniel watched the scene in front of him silently. Although he didn't know all the secrets of the magic train when he first came into contact with this project, he understood Rebecca's distress very well.
For a project, there may be no problem in calculating data, but there will always be errors and accidents when it is applied to real objects. This is almost a problem that any technological product will inevitably encounter in the process of moving from paper to reality. His non-implantable nerve Suo has been studying for more than ten years, and most of the time is stuck at this stage.
He raised his head, and once again carefully observed the complex and huge magical mechanical creation.
This is really an incredible thing, an incredible train of thought.
Before he came into contact with the knowledge of wanderers outside the territory, he never thought that the power of magic could be used in this form, and he never thought that when ordinary people also participated in the superhuman realm, the operation of the entire society would undergo earth-shaking changes.
Each arrival of wanderers from outside the territory has its own mission, either to create, or to destroy, or to conquer the world, or to save the world.
So he came this time... is it to create a world driven by magic technology
I really want to see with my own eyes what Cecil, who has already popularized magic machines, looks like...
"Daniel? Daniel?" Rebecca noticed that the old mage suddenly raised his hair in a daze, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Master Daniel, what are you thinking?"
Daniel woke up from the momentary distraction. He blinked, looked at the mechanical train that had become too bloated and complicated after many transformations, and suddenly said casually: "The power of the magic train... must be placed on the train. Is it?"
"Where do you put the power on the train?" Rebecca said with a matter of course, "The power is not on the train, the power... wait, you said, can the power of the train not be placed on the train?!"
"Ah, I just asked casually," Daniel said quickly, "because I don't understand its structure..."
"No, no, listen to whoever says something makes sense," Rebecca interrupted Daniel, "You said just now that the power should not be put on the car... Could it be put on the track?"
Listen to whoever says the truth...
For the first time in decades, Daniel heard such words.
This sentence is so reasonable.
"I don't know the structure of the magic train, but as a 'layman', I know that the purpose of your train is to use it to transport a large amount of goods from one place to another," Daniel said while thinking, " No matter whether the power is put on the car or on the track, as long as this goal can be achieved, as far as I can see, the large number of mechanical structures installed on the train has seriously exceeded the capacity of the car body, and those things are forced to be stuffed. In a car, reliability can only be sacrificed, and if you don't put power in the car... we have many spells that can propel a movable entity from the outside... such as installing a repulsion mechanism on the track or a traction spell."
Rebecca and Kamel couldn't help but glanced at each other, and they both saw a bright light in their eyes.
Carmel's is brighter.
"The power can be placed on the track. I didn't expect this idea, I really didn't expect it..." Kamel's tone was filled with excitement, "But if the power is on the track, you can also control the vehicle to move forward and backward on the train And the brakes? Relying on a fel obelisk for remote control? Or... leaving all control to the track operator?"
"...the latter is not safe. The train itself must have a way to control power, at least a way to brake. After all, it will transport people in the future, a person who is pushed on the track and cannot stop when something happens. No one dares to sit in an iron can," Rebecca said while thinking, "... Maybe we can disassemble the power structure? Or... Ah, I have an idea!!"
She suddenly raised her head and looked at the magicians around her who were showing thoughtful expressions.
"Everyone, get busy and let's do it again!"
