Yuan Shen: After the emperor abdicates, I will be in charge of Liyue

This made the residents of Mond burst out with strong curiosity after a brief panic.

Many bards are trying to get in touch with these machines, trying to get first-hand information in advance, gain some popularity, and weave new poems in exchange for drinking.

Everyone in the knight order is also very curious about this thing, but it's just curiosity.

In their eyes, this thing is just another magical product of the alchemy laboratory. Compared with Abedo's miraculous behavior of directly refining a Cecilia flower from ashes, it still lacks a little impact.

However, this is the view of ordinary people.

The well-informed Rose Witch has a deeper understanding of this thing.

Lisa got half of her body out of the sunroof of the steam crawler, and the oncoming gust of wind blew her hair, making the clothes cling to her plump figure, and also made her raise her hand to hold down the hat.

Unlike Kaiya, who needs a lot of explanation from Abe to understand the epoch-making significance of the steam engine, Lisa, who was called "a super genius who meets once in 200 years" by the Sumeru Academy, died shortly after getting into the car. Got it.

Lisa looked at the tracked vehicle that was moving steadily ahead, her eyes that were usually lazy were all radiant.

In fact, she is not a simple lazy dog. The main reason for her laziness is that she learned the truth about the extraordinary power during Xu Mi's research.

Extraordinary power is bestowed by the gods. Although it is colorful, no matter how attractive it is, it is the charity of the gods.

What the gods can give, they can also take back.

It was only after Lisa learned of this that she became tired, because she really didn't want to continue researching these things, and was doing nothing for the gods.

For a long time, she had been secretly expecting that someone with the ability to investigate the truth behind the Eye of God would appear in front of her.

To this end she occasionally imparts her views on various matters to those she finds interesting.

Recently, she finally met the most promising person, but what she didn't expect was that good things come in pairs. She not only saw hope, but also saw the possibility of freeing human beings from the temptation of gods.

An existence that can function perfectly without the intervention of the gods.

A special machine where a human can determine the upper and lower limits.

And a 'god' who might have the same idea as her.

Perhaps many machines will also become collections in museums in the near future.

Lisa felt emotional as she looked at the huge machinery that was far more efficient than a carriage.

…………

The carriage that Lisa compared with the tracked vehicle is the most popular four-wheeled carriage in the Tivat continent.

The carrying capacity of the steam tracked vehicle is obviously much stronger. Although the speed is a bit slower, the carrying capacity is seven or eight times that of the four-wheeled carriage.

And more importantly, the tracked vehicle has a wider range of application and is easier to control.

Unlike horse-drawn carriages, which can only travel on relatively flat roads, horses can pass through undulating terrain, but cars cannot.

Moreover, the horses will be frightened by the monsters, and the frightened horses cannot be manipulated at all, let alone escape from the monsters, and even the driver will be accidentally injured by the horses.

Of course, the horses were frightened. After all, there were a few incidents, and the tracked vehicles could far surpass the horses. In the final analysis, the road conditions in Tivat were not good.

It is still a cliché, but Tivat's technological level is not low, and it can produce robots larger than mountains, but these technologies are not universal at all.

Moreover, the existence of extraordinary power has led to a huge gap in the status of life.

The gods who are high above can decide the policy of a country, and use their own great power to open up the frontiers and defend the territory, and the country will last for thousands of years.

But the gods can't really live in the world and feel the troubles and inconveniences of mortals, even Morax, who walks the world most often.

The messy road infrastructure in Tivat Continent is the best embodiment of the people with great power breaking away from ordinary people.

Because roads are useless to gods.

Not to mention gods and monsters, even human beings, those with a little strength don't need to use ordinary roads, they can just use their own mighty power to cross mountains and ridges.

As for the troubles mortals encounter when walking these paths, they also know, but only to a limited extent.

The most they know is to let them tamp a few dirt roads so that they can walk smoothly.

As for the remaining remote areas, follow fate.

But it is these people who control most of the resources.

With extraordinary power, they take it for granted that extraordinary power is the future development direction of the country.

This has led to the weak development of Tivat's basic technology, and there has been no decent basic technology for more than 3000 years.

A lot of resources are wasted on developing supernatural powers, and the entire Tivat academic circle is full of imitations of various supernatural powers.

These scholars may never have thought that the omnipotent and extraordinary power in their eyes is a toy thrown away by the gods.

Under the rules of the gods, human beings can never rise.

The only one who realized the mistake was Kanria. Unfortunately, they realized it too late. At that time, Kanria could no longer turn back, and could only resist under the rules of the gods and eventually perish.

Chapter 38 Tracer

Lisa is lazy but capable.

As a librarian, Lisa has two main responsibilities in the Knights Order. One is to manage the library's collection of books, and the other is to ensure the supply of medicines for the Knights Order.

For Lisa, the first duty is a bit more troublesome, after all, she needs to be on duty all day long, and it is also very troublesome to recover the books.

For this reason, she often needs to go out in person to teach those guys who are overdue.

Fortunately, there are not many people who are interested in collecting books, so even if she needs to go to work every day, Lisa can still be lazy in the library, which is quite leisurely.

For the second duty, Lisa's tolerance is obviously much higher.

Because brewing potions is also one of her interests, and she is especially keen on exploring the side effects of various potions.

'Side effect is not a bad word, sometimes side effects can also have miraculous effects~'

One time, he mixed medicine into black tea, causing Qin to fall into a coma for the whole afternoon.

That's what Lisa said when Jean got up from Lisa's crib and came to Lisa in a huff.

Lisa was very interested in the drug request form that Abedo gave her a few days ago.

Because she usually dispenses medicines for people, this is the first time she dispenses medicines for machines.

"Here, this is the tracer potion you want. It emits powerful light and spreads the impact. The side effect is that it will crystallize the surrounding elements. See if it suits you?"

"Thank you."

Abedo was also polite, took the potion bottle, dripped out a drop of potion, raised his hand to condense a rock element crystal group to wrap it, and then raised his hand to launch it into the distance.

Don't worry about hitting people. At the moment, they are in the position in front of the bridge, surrounded by wilderness.

The crystal cluster flew in the air, and the crimson tracer potion drew a trajectory visible to the naked eye in the air.

Abedo nodded in satisfaction: "Very good."

"It's good if you're satisfied, but I'm curious what you're going to do with this potion? It can't be a simple mark, right?"

"Of course not, please follow me."

Abedo did not hide from Lisa, Lisa is a core member of the Knights, so she is entitled to know this.

Besides, multiple people have multiple ideas, maybe this knowledgeable Miss Witch can come up with better ideas.

Abedo led Lisa to the rear of the position, where thirty steam-charged cannons were placed.

"This is a steam pressure cannon. Miss Lisa should already understand the principle, so I won't go into details."

Lisa looked at the pressurized cannon and nodded: "Hmm... a simple structure, but very practical. The person who came up with the idea of ​​the steam engine is really a genius."

"These tracers are used on the pressure gun shells."

Abedo picked up two shells that looked the same and handed them to Lisa.

Although there is no primer, the shell of the pressurized gun is still in the shape of a pointed cylinder, because this shape can reduce wind resistance and increase the range.

Lisa carefully looked at the shells in her hand, and found that the biggest difference between the two was that one shell was significantly lighter.

She held up the cannonball: "I guess it's for this."

"That's right." Abedo took the cannonball and poured one-third of the bottle of medicine onto the groove at the tail of the cannonball.

The medicine gathers in the groove, and then slowly flows into the shell along the small opening reserved at the bottom.

Abedo explained: "This is a tracer shell specially designed by me. Due to the limited amount of potions, I am sorry that it is difficult for me to demonstrate it for you, but I have already demonstrated the function of the tracer shell when I just inspected it. It is to mark the trajectory."

"The speed of the shells is astonishing, and because the shells themselves do not emit light, it is difficult for ordinary people who use these pressurized cannons to see the trajectory of the shells. At this time, it is necessary to launch tracer shells to facilitate users to adjust the trajectory."

"So that's the case. Ordinary people can't see the trajectory of the shells. I haven't thought about it."

Lisa nodded, but then she asked a new question.

"But I have another question about the shells, that is, according to my rough calculations, the pressure generated by the steam is very high, which is good for firing shells, but you have loaded gunpowder in the shells, don't you think of another way?" A launch method?"

"For example... forging the bottom of the shell to make it weaker, then filling it with gunpowder, and finally putting it into the barrel. The impact force generated by the burning of the gunpowder must be greater than that of steam."

Abedo showed a look of approval: "As expected of Miss Lisa, after accepting a new thing that she has never seen before, she was able to put forward her own opinions in the first place."

Lisa smiled: "It's not the first time, I used to explode when I was experimenting, and I thought about this problem by accident."

"About this question, I also asked the teacher, the teacher called this technique 'prime fire', and the evaluation of this technique... the teacher only had one sentence:

Not yet. "

Lisa frowned when she heard the words, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly realized:

"I understand what your teacher means. This technology is very complicated. Not only the ratio of gunpowder, but also the size, shape, material, weight and other aspects of the shells are all factors that need to be considered."

"Moreover, this technology has never appeared before. In order to lay a solid foundation and facilitate further research in the future, it is necessary for human beings to explore a path by themselves, and to summarize the laws and corresponding experimental rules before it can be popularized."

"It's like some young alchemists often come to me to ask questions. Although I will tell them, I also know that the answers I get from me are not as profound as the ones they get from their own experiments."

"Sometimes the experience of failure is far more meaningful than success, because success may be standing on the shoulders of predecessors, but failure does mean that you have practiced it yourself."

Abedo nodded: "I thought so too at first, but then I found out that the teacher may have thought more about it."

"Oh?"

Lisa cast a curious look, but Abedo shook his head, unwilling to say more.

He just handed out a scroll: "Your defense zone has been drawn. This is the formation map set up by Captain Kaiya. He is now in the artillery position. You can find him there."

After Abedo finished speaking, he turned and left, and Lisa looked at his back strangely.

Although she didn't have much contact with Abedo, she also knew that Abedo was not of such a cold personality.
