How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

A method of generating electricity by applying thrust using fraudulent explosions and maintaining the thrust as much as possible through the automatic rotation of the skeleton turbine.

Would this be a possibility?

At that time, the Qigong professor who came with Lee Do-jin said.

“This explosion must be a one-off.”

“Yes.”

“Then isn’t it not suitable for generators where sustainability is important?”

A qigong professor who acted as if he was supporting me.

However, when I saw my skeleton turbine, my expression immediately changed, so I listened to the story with hearing enhancement.

‘I was thinking negatively about generating electricity with my ability.’

If you are a mechanical engineering professor, do you think negatively of skeletons to replace machines as much as you are a machine researcher?

I can fully understand.

Because not everyone is like Lee Do-jin.

‘If you don’t like it, you can find someone else, well.’

Anyway, it’s a matter of sustainability, isn’t it?

“That’s it, if you keep blowing it up, it’s over. As I said, this is a crudely made experiment, so wouldn’t it be solved by attaching an automatic bone refueling device later?”

“Are you putting on an automatic refueling device?”

“yes. After all, I can’t be at the power plant every day, can’t I? I have to make it go back without me.”

“Then how do I do Bone Explosion without the President?”

“That is simple.”

After all, all magic is just creating a command called a magic circle and operating it with magical power.

Of course, if you create a system that engraves a magic circle and injects magic using magic stones, ordinary people can use magic as much as they like.

That’s the magic weapon used in Seron.

Of course, the problem is that the price is prohibitively expensive and not everyone can use it, but that doesn’t matter, does it?

In the first place, turbines are one of the most expensive items.

I raised my hand and carved a magic circle related to the fraudulent explosion into a rocket-shaped piece of metal, then drew a long magic line all the way to the floor.

After that, I put the artificial essence in my chest and made the operating condition into a magic circle.

“Now, if you put a bone in there and put your hand on this essence, the bone will explode on its own.”

At that time, Dojin Lee came up to me and whispered.

“Chairman, please explain in more detail. The more you do, the more active this friend will be.”

“How detailed are you talking about?”

“This friend has a bit of a negative opinion about ability, but it is not because he hates the ability itself, but because of his rejection of the unknown that cannot be scientifically interpreted. However, while Awakened people use their abilities without knowing how they are activated, the President is different.”

Isn’t it negative simply because of worrying about the rice bowl?

“This is a style where once this friend falls in love, he digs into it regardless of the fire. I’m sure he has the ability too. Trust me and explain.”

“hmm.”

Professor Lee Do-jin recommends it to this extent, not anyone else.

“All right.”

By the way, would it be easy to understand if I explained it by pointing to an invisible magic circle?

‘Can you show me and explain?’

Just because you see it doesn’t mean you know anything.

Let’s just show it.

I raised my hand and used magic to make the magic circles glow.

Then, with a brilliant light, the magic circle appeared for the first time in this world.

“Oh oh!?”

I gestured to the amazed qigong professor and said,

“Come this way, I will teach you the principle.”

I pointed to one of the magic circles and said.

“Let’s say this is… a command line. And the energy in the bones is called yin energy, and the energy gathered from people is called yang energy. Anyway, this command line twists the negative energy in the bones. And this guy here compresses…”

As I explained about the magic circle, the professor’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Then the professor pointed to the small magic circle in the middle and said.

“What role is this?”

“This is an intermediate switch role. The destructive power is greater when it is compressed after twisting, so the twisting is activated first and then the compression is adjusted.”

“Oh oh!”

The qigong department professor continues to pour out questions.

“Then what is this? What is this?”

“This is the one that detects the energy being supplied from the artificial essence, and this is…”

A professor who never stops asking questions.

said the professor with an admiring expression.

“Unbelievable······.”

At that time, Dojin Lee approached the professor and said.

“how is it.”

“Is this what you said?”

“It’s a little different from this, but similar.”

“Sophisticated. Everything is organically connected. Those command lines are semiconductors that perform their respective duties, and those lines are copper wires. Could it be that other Awoken are also like this?”

“As far as I know, only Chairman Han has this ability.”

Then the qigong professor asked me.

“Chairman, did you make all of these orders here? Or part of your abilities?”

“uh······.”

To be precise, the magic circle itself was researched and created by ancient Seron mages a long time ago, and I just put it together… but that doesn’t mean I can’t say that I’ve been to Seron, right?

“Is that so?”

Then the professor said admiringly.

“Unbelievable. This is truly academic! It’s on a different level from other awakened people who don’t even know how to activate their abilities!”

I guess so.

First of all, I’m not an Awakener.

Then the professor said with an excited expression.

“So, can an ordinary person learn these command lines and do the same thing with an artificial essence?”

“It’s not just about learning. Even if everything else is done, only I can engrave this line of orders.”

“ah······.”

Then, Dojin Lee stepped forward and said.

“It would be possible to combine the command line instead, just as we are currently researching the algorithm and the president is implementing it.”

that’s possible

Then the professor grabbed my hand and said.

“Can you teach me something? Maybe this is an opportunity to dig into the source of the Awoken and their powers that no one else has figured out!”

I called to see Turbine. Why are you obsessed with the wrong thing?

But, well… it’s not a bad story.

Even now, I feel completely comfortable thanks to the algorithm created by the center for me, but now, if they take care of the magic circle combination, I really just need to connect my magic from then on.

‘uh? Or make a device that can draw a magic circle with artificial essence?’

If that happens, even if you don’t have magical powers, you will be able to engrave magic circles, so like the professor said, maybe even ordinary people can use magic?

But suddenly, a sense of alertness strikes me.

‘This could be a big problem if I approached it clumsily.’

Unlike making a magic circle with one gesture of my hand, I have to draw it in stitch by stitch, so the speed is different.

Perhaps in the process, the attack magic circle might spread indiscriminately.

I said looking at the professor.

“First of all, I will inform you of the command line related to this skeleton turbine.”

“Oh oh! thank you!”

A little bit of knowledge is given, but the implementation is left to me for now.

The future of magic engineering, a combination of magic and science, may be beautiful, but at the same time, it is an unknown world that we have never experienced, so we should approach it conservatively.

I clapped and said.

“now. Now, everyone, come to your senses, aren’t you here because of Turbine? Please focus here first. Is this commercially viable or not?”

Then the professor, who came to his senses, closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then said.

“First of all, destructive power, is that all?”

“To be honest, it is extremely restrained.”

They are ignored as F-class monsters, but even F-class monsters are powerful enough to slaughter dozens of ordinary people.

Exploding the morale of such an F-rank monster, not to mention its destructive power.

Of course, I used it sparingly as much as possible.

“Then is this even possible? Not all at once, but little by little. In this way, I think it will be possible to achieve not only sustainability but also economic feasibility.”

“gradually? Ohh?”

I’ll have to think about it a bit, but it’s not a bad way.

I said with a grin.

“Then, professors, shall we study in earnest?”

*

Active participation of faculty and staff.

As the essence of mechanical engineering, which has been studied countless times in order to somehow increase the efficiency by 1%, is added, the skeleton turbine becomes more and more efficient.

In addition, Professor Do-jin Lee showed interest and helped with the research, and the long-awaited first skeleton turbine was finally completed.

“Let’s start testing.”

According to the qigong professor, a staff member from Saeron brings a pile of bones.

“Are those bones not pretreated?”

The preprocessing process is to enchant the bones to prevent fraud from escaping.

However, since I can’t always drop by the power plant and hand over the bones, this Skeleton Turbine Unit 1 was built with the assumption that I wasn’t there from the start.

When I nodded, the qigong professor said.

“Put it in the box.”

The staff then pours the bones into a metal box and closes the lid.

After confirming that it is completely sealed, the professor presses a button on the newly designed bone console exclusively for the Skeleton Turbine.

“Now negative energy can no longer escape from that box.”

Since I couldn’t pre-process the bones myself, I came up with a way to minimize the outflow of fraud by engraving a magic circle on the box itself.

Of course, it’s less efficient than being locked up in bones, and morale is lost, but this wasn’t bad.

“ruler. Now turn the turbine.”

When the professor presses the button, the skeleton turbine starts spinning vigorously.

The appearance of such a skeleton turbine was quite different from the prototype.

In the first place, the turbine is designed to receive as much resistance as possible from steam, so the skeleton turbine that uses the explosion force and the skeleton’s own rotation does not need to follow its shape.

It’s a bit different from what the professor designed because you can’t melt it down like metal and make it into the shape you want, but I made it by combining bones of the same size as possible.

Of course, in the process, there was an opinion that it would be quite reasonable to just make a turbine out of metal and use only the explosive power of morale, but it turned out that this is very different from the existing turbine in shape and principle, so it takes at least several months to fully apply the design and produce it. The answer came back saying it would take over a year.

So I immediately dismissed it and turned it into bones.

Anyway, the core of this reborn skeleton turbine was a skeleton, but it was dozens of nozzles hanging all over the turbine.

“It injects negative energy.”

Then, when the professor presses another button, a series of explosions come out of the nozzles, and the skeleton turbine spins at maddening speed.

“It goes well.”

Instead of bursting a whole bone as in the experimental work, according to the professor’s advice, a large amount of bones are placed in a box and morale is extracted with an engraved magic circle, and 40 nozzles are continuously burst.

In this way, there is a loss of morale, but the persistence pointed out by the professor is resolved, and at the same time it is possible to balance, so the professor suggested that it does not put too much strain on the axis of rotation.

Of course, the process was complicated and the magic circle had to be shoved in all directions, so it consumed a lot of mana, but instead, once such a magic circle was engraved, it was enough to activate the next time with only artificial essence.

People looking at the Skeleton Turbine in silence.

The professor said while looking at the screen on the console.

“The negative energy is stable. The output is also steadily maintained.”

That screen was a technology developed by Dojin Lee and I, who have been studying the cooperation between robots and skeletons.

negative energy.

So fraud is the main energy source of this skeleton turbine, and a person will decide whether to add or hold it after checking how much is left.

The principle was simple.

If the amount of morale decreases, the skeleton weakens, so make a skeleton that can only receive morale from that box, and then have that skeleton grip the gripper.

Then, depending on the amount of morale in the box, the gripper gets stronger when morale is full, and the force applied to the gripper decreases as morale drops.

And that was the one that quantified the amount of this power and realized it on the screen.

I nodded and said.

“The combination of science technology and skeletons, I like it.”

It has a bit of an analog feel to a combination of things, but this is the most intuitive and sure way.

At that time, the Qigong professor smiled as if he was excited.

“This time, I will upload the output. Raise it twice.”

Then, with a louder explosion, the skeleton turbine rotated even faster.

The professor looked at the screen and said.

“Certainly, power output increases… but efficiency decreases. Morale consumption is doubled, but production is 1.6 times.”

No matter how much an explosion is applied, as long as this is not a vacuum, there are definitely physical limits.

Still, having a means to rapidly increase the amount of electricity at any time when in a hurry is definitely a great advantage.

The professor who conducted all kinds of experiments by raising and lowering the output like that.

“Experiment over. We will check the final result.”

Everyone in the experiment watched the professor’s presentation with bated breath.

In fact, this was a perfect eco-friendly power generation in which the bones were coal and the energy bought from people acted as steam.

The only challenge left now is affordability.

The professor said after calculating the amount of fraud remaining and the bone value.

“Chairman, how much yang energy do you have left?”

The amount of magic power contained in the artificial essence.

There was no way to know about this except me and the SS class, who deal with magic directly, so I adopted a method of inserting several at all.

About 10 pieces are set in advance, and when number 1 is used up, number 2 is used, and when number 2 is used up, number 3 is used.

While using it one after another like this, all you have to do is replace the essence that used up all of your magical energy earlier.

I said while looking at artificial essence number one.

“It’s roughly 1/10 of the sweetness.”

“Then, if you substitute the energy unit price now, add the price of negative energy consumed, and divide it by the power output… it is 130 won per kW.”

The professor looked at me and said.

“For reference, nuclear power is 66 won and coal is 110 won.”

Holy sh*t!

More expensive than coal?!

But the professor suddenly smiled brightly and said.

“The experiment is a success.”

“yes? I heard that the unit cost of production is higher than that of coal.”

“Why do coal power plants still exist? Because the cost of production of other green power generation is insanely expensive. It is called eco-friendly, but although it is small, LNG power generation that emits harmful substances costs 240 won, and wind power costs more than 300 won. Korea’s electricity bill is around 150 won, so the more eco-friendly you make, the more you lose. But is it eco-friendly and even cheaper than electricity? This means…”

The professor smiled brightly.

“This skeleton turbine is the world’s first commercially viable eco-friendly power generation turbine.”

“So successful?”

“Success. It is also at a level that can be commercialized right now. Moreover, as this is the first unit, if we increase efficiency through research, the unit cost of production will continue to go down, so this is an unconditional success.”

At that, everyone who participated in the study cheered.

“and! Long live Chairman Han!”

“Success!”

Looking at those people, I smiled and said.

“You mean? Is it a success?”

“yes. In addition, considering that Europe has recently decided to impose a tariff called a carbon border tax on countries that emit a lot of carbon, it will be cheaper this way.”

“okay.”

I immediately picked up the phone and called Commissioner Lee Jin-young.

-yes. This is Jinyoung Lee.

“The one I was working on with the Skeleton Turbine. Success.”

-···success? To what extent? I would be grateful if it was just the price of LNG.

The professor is definitely right about success.

To be satisfied with the level of LNG, which is 230 won per kW.

“no way. Is that enough?”

-Then how much wind power?

“Not above, but below.”

Then, Lee Jin-young, who was silent for a while, spoke.

-Is it cheaper? Maybe in the late 100s?

Finally, unable to hold back my itchy mouth, I spoke.

“130 won. That’s the first Unit 1 I’ve ever made. Perhaps further research will improve efficiency?”

-130?! Even Unit 1!? Is that true?

It is completely eco-friendly, but even the price is slightly more expensive than coal.

Is there any more welcome news in a world where environmental issues have become a major issue these days?

“Of course it is. When did you see me lie? If you’re curious, come now, because we’re still experimenting. If possible, bring the person in charge.”

– Oh, I see.

After talking on the phone like that, I smiled brightly and said.

“good. Shall we take over the energy now?”
