The Primordial Wizard

A week ago, Betty fell into deep thought after listening to the perfunctory words of the black cat Bayern at the party. She dragged Donna back home and began to devote herself to research.

I don't need to want to create a mechanical giant from the beginning, that's really too delusional!

Betty looked at the small steam boiler in front of her, lost in thought.

I should start with a simple and miniaturized direction. A mechanical power-assisted facility similar to armor may be a good research direction! However, I have to solve the power problem of this machine first. Blacksmiths who enchant weapons, enchant armor are no different.

Donna looked at Betty who was talking to herself, looked at her sometimes excited and sometimes frowning, felt helpless, picked up the exercise book prepared by Betty and continued to study.

Donna didn't want to rely on Betty all the time, she wanted to explore the wonderful world of magic, and wanted to create a spell model by herself.

The so-called power is the core of the drive. I have already understood the basic principle of steam drive. First, there must be a boiler to generate a large amount of steam. Thanks to Bayern's discovery of the density rune, I know that the water element can Expansion and compression, steam can expand, this process of boiling water is the process of expansion.”

Betty engraved a secondary rune array on the bottom of the boiler, which is composed of secondary fire elemental runes and secondary scorching runes as the core. This is the secondary rune array designed by Betty to heat the boiler. She named it the thermal power rune. Wen Zhen.

Before meeting Bayern, she had already designed the thermal power rune array. After many explorations and modifications, she found a suitable scorching effect, which could continue to heat the boiler with the supply of magic power.

At this point in the research, it has entered a bottleneck. The steam boiler needs a lot of water. The mechanical giant she envisioned can only carry a large number of water tanks, which is very cumbersome.

The arrival of Bayern solved all this. He discovered the secondary water element series runes, especially the secondary density runes and secondary pressure runes. The moment Betty saw it in the magic book, she wanted to jump up excitedly.

With the secondary series of water elemental runes, the miniaturization of Betty's mechanical equipment can be solved.

She consulted Bayern, who had rich experience in experimenting with density runes, to find a suitable density and design a secondary water vapor rune array.

This rune array can produce a large amount of water vapor in an instant, and under the drive of the thermal power rune array, through the effect of the pressure rune, it can instantly create high-pressure water vapor.

The operation of the steam engine mentioned in the ancient civilization books requires a sealed cylinder and a moving piston. If there is no magic, the light sealing problem is difficult to solve, but with magic, these are not problems!

Betty's eyes were shining brightly, and her small body seemed to contain huge abilities. She skillfully used two secondary spells. The second outstanding achievement of the members of the Enchanting Fellowship, the model of the secondary high-burning spell and the model of the secondary air-shaping spell.

As long as sufficient mana is provided, the secondary high-burning spell model can create the highest temperature that the secondary fire element series runes can achieve, turning iron ore into iron juice easily.

Betty prepared the magical iron block, turned it into molten iron with a secondary high combustion, and then used air shaping and secondary magic hands to successfully cool the molten iron and shape it into a small cylinder at one time.

At this point, Betty was stumped. The book in her hand was vaguely described, mentioning only a reciprocating steam engine, in which steam expands a piston to do work.

Steam expansion can indeed push the piston, but how to make the piston come back? This book is unclear, let me try first...

boom!

Betty's prototype steam engine had no vents and ended with a bang.

Betty, who activated the secondary magic crystal shield in time, continued to experiment with an ugly face. This time Betty added an exhaust port to the prototype steam engine, but it couldn't solve the problem of piston reciprocation.

The power I created must be able to drive a main bearing wheel to rotate, and then drive the entire mechanical movement through the gears, resulting in doubled attack power and moving speed.

so,

Change your mind. I need a facility that will cycle the pistons to keep the main bearings spinning! Maybe it can be done!

After many failed experiments, Betty realized the condensing vacuum steam engine, but the power of this steam engine was too low to drive her ideal machinery at all.

She quietly took the books of ancient civilizations from her father's study, and accidentally discovered the incomplete blueprint of the reciprocating steam engine, and finally solved the problem.

From the steam inlet, she made a closed sliding valve chamber, the built-in sliding valve is connected to the pulley rod, connected to the eccentric wheel, connected to the piston rod through the crank and connecting rod, and finally realized the steam in the cylinder to push the piston to reciprocate.

After the entire prototype steam engine was successfully produced, Betty continued to try to miniaturize the prototype, and finally she created a portable magic steam prototype.

In this way, the most important power problem is solved! Thanks to Bayern's water element series runes, otherwise this prototype machine would not be able to be successfully manufactured. Next, I will assemble the machinery I have already made, and I have already figured out how to assemble it .”

Donna looked at the smaller Betty carrying the prototype that was almost as tall as her back, and looked at her worriedly.

Betty has produced piles of parts a long time ago. She has a series of ideas, but it is limited to the inability to manufacture a powerful power core and cannot be realized.

In her magic book, there are a large number of imaginary designs of giant machines, and now is the moment when dreams come into reality. Although it is impossible to manufacture super-sized mechanical giants, it is possible to manufacture an enlarged auxiliary mechanical device.

She melted and reshaped the large demonized parts, and successfully assembled them into a steampunk-style mechanical device in about a day.

Two auxiliary mechanical legs, one auxiliary mechanical right arm and the core device on the back, due to limited materials, the left arm is equipped with a wrist guard engraved with the magic crystal shield rune array, and finally formed this two-meter-tall and somewhat bulky auxiliary mechanical .

You are called Apprentice Combat Auxiliary Machine Type 1, or Apprentice Type 1 for short. This name is really good, and it completely conforms to the description style in the books of ancient civilizations. I am really a genius!

The Apprentice Type 1 made by Betty is connected to Betty through the magic power-absorbing rune array on the back. Betty needs to consume mental power to guide the magic power in, and stimulate several rune arrays in the prototype machine to achieve the purpose of producing a large amount of steam to do work.

The exhaust hole is closely connected to the top of the right arm, and there are five very small holes. Guided by the secondary direct rune array, it can instantly release ultra-high pressure and high-heat steam missiles, with excellent killing effect.

The mechanical arm is equipped with two solidified magic crystal weapon rune arrays (magic crystal short blade and magic crystal spear), which can be used for close combat when necessary.

Relying on the prototype machine on the back, the Apprentice Type 1 can greatly enhance the user's instantaneous movement speed and attack power, and produce stronger power and speed than ordinary enchanted martial arts.

The only downside is that compared to the flexibility of enchanted martial arts, Apprentice Type 1 is a little clumsy. Because of the use of magic iron as the material and engraving multiple secondary strengthening rune arrays, the strength, hardness and toughness of the entire machine are greatly improved, and the defense effect is also greatly increased.

The back base, shoulder base and feet base of Apprentice 1 have a special instantaneous steam drive device, which can instantly discharge a large amount of high-heat steam, which can not only kill the enemy, but also can be driven instantly to achieve rapid movement and short-term low-altitude flight. Broken arm attack, broken arm self-explosion and other effects.
