The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After a little thought, Leo went to the room on the other side of the third floor where mechanical books were stored.

Leo himself did not care too much about the knowledge of machinery. After all, looking at the machinery of steam civilization from the perspective of the age of the universe, even though it felt that it contained a simple and primitive beauty, it did not think that this knowledge was worth the time and Study hard.

However, Leo is still very willing to do the peacock that can supplement the database about steam machinery. Of course, the premise is that he has nothing else to do, just like now.

Compared with the other two study rooms, this room for collecting mechanical books is much cleaner and tidy, and all the books in the collection are more than just furnishings, and there are a lot of traces on them. The more important point is that the books in this room are carefully selected. The content of each book can be separated into a series. There is no similarity. From the most basic mechanical principles to the deepest airship steam power. There are all the analytical instructions for the device.

However, the most of all books are the books made by some puppets, and these books are also the books that have been read the most. Many pages have abrasion caused by being turned too frequently, and a lot of readings are recorded on it. The reader's experience and notes, and this reader is undoubtedly Peter Alcott.

Although before reading these mechanical books on steam civilization, Leo did not have any discrimination or contempt for this knowledge, but it is inevitable to despise the psychology. After all, after seeing the giant warships that travel through the universe, look at the mechanical devices of steam civilization. There is indeed a kind of mentality that adults look at children's toys.

But when he browsed the first book that recorded the most basic mechanical principles, and the auxiliary brain system compiled these contents into the database, he realized that he underestimated the steam machinery of this world, and he also discovered the physics of the Earth Federation. Knowledge cannot be applied to the physical principles of this steam civilization. This steam civilization has its own set of physical principles that are extremely absurd to Leo.

For example, a mechanical gear that is only the size of a fist and equal in strength to ordinary steel can serve as the core of a complete steam bearing transmission system. It seems that the strength of this steel has increased by dozens of times after it has been made into a gear.

In addition, as long as someone who understands a little bit of physical principles is well aware, any kind of power and energy in the transmission process will cause some natural losses due to external factors. Even if it is the alien race with the highest technological civilization in the universe where the Earth Federation is located, they can only achieve energy transmission close to zero loss, not absolute zero loss.

However, the situation here is quite different. Not only does the steam transmission energy not cause any loss when it is transmitted through gears, bearings and other objects, it even generates energy amplification for some unintelligible reasons, so that the steam energy can be produced. One is equal to ten magical effects.

Moreover, this magical new physical principle not only exists in the steam civilization of this dream world, but also in the world of Velon.

Comparing the steam mechanical structure and principles of the two worlds, it is not difficult to find that the steam energy of the Velon world is equally magical and powerful, so the energy transmitted by the steam engine can support such a huge train to travel fast on the track. Let the giant airship made of steel fly in the air.

It's just that the steam energy of the two worlds is different because of the different raw materials.

The dream world burns a substance similar to coal, called ashstone, which is produced in the fog area. Basically, as long as the land in the fog area is all ash stone, only the quality is different. The task of guarding the castle in the fog area is to prevent the fog area from spreading and the mist monsters pouring into the lake forest. More tasks are responsible for the safety of the ashstone deposits in the fog area.

The temperature of this kind of ashstone after it is completely burned is not very high, but it is very long-lasting, which also makes the instantaneous energy they burst out not strong enough to support the rapid operation of various steam machines, but it can increase the continuous operation time. , So even if there are large steam machines in the dream world, they can only operate in a slow and long-lasting manner.

The special plant growth environment in the vinylon world makes the wood resources almost inexhaustible, and the wood used as raw materials is all the kind that can be burned violently, plus special methods to make them sustainable. Charcoal, so that the steam energy generated by these raw materials is strong and powerful, is enough to push those giants to run quickly on the ground and fly stably in the air.

After understanding the mechanical principles of this world and the magic of steam energy, Leo also began to re-examine the mechanical civilization of this world, and his attitude towards other books is no longer just to expand the database, but to learn a new knowledge.

As a book is recorded in the database, Leo has a deeper understanding of this peculiar steam mechanical civilization. Some things that cannot be done by the same civilization of the Earth Federation universe, the steam civilization here can be easily done , Plus some magic witchcraft assistance, the effect of the two is not just one plus one.

Even in this purely mechanical civilization that does not even have integrated circuits, it uses magic and machinery to combine together to produce items similar to mechanical control chips. For example, Peter Alcott’s maid has this kind of thing. Control chip.

If the ordinary mechanical books on the bookshelf have helped Leo open up his horizons, then the mechanical puppet books that Peter Alcott specially sorted out make him really touch the core part of the world's steam mechanical civilization .

The content of these books does not touch on the manufacturing process of the mechanical puppet itself, but only tells the process of the transformation of large steam machinery to mechanical puppet, which is a history of mechanical puppet manufacturing.

Although these books do not specifically describe any method of assembly and manufacturing of mechanical puppet components, the data recorded in these articles can allow Leo to speculate some details.

He found that the most important components of these mechanical puppets, in addition to the mysterious things like the control chip provided by the Wizards Association and the core steam furnace, the various size components that constitute the component are also key items. The precision of the parts completely determines the final component. Energy efficiency size.

For example, Witzmir went to the town of Seventh Lake to purchase a batch of precision parts, because the parts made in the Peter Alcott factory are the best in the entire Lake District alliance. The machine components assembled from these parts are only Can play the strongest role.

After learning these contents, Leo thought of the things he saw in the aristocracy.

After he entered the aristocracy area that day, he found that no patrol guards were set up inside the aristocracy area, but only a number of sentries were symbolically established in the internal divisions of each aristocracy area. The number of these outposts is not large, and their main task is not for security and other issues, but to provide gatekeepers and other services for those noble banquets.

Leo felt at that time that the internal defense of this noble area was strange.

Even though most of the nobles in the dream world living in the nobility area can be configured and have various strengths and abilities, except for a few military aristocracy, most of them are not soldiers. Even if it is configured, the power it can exert will not be very strong.

According to Leo’s estimates, with his current ability, it is still difficult to sweep the entire aristocratic area of ​​the seventh lake town, but it is not difficult to sneak in to assassinate someone.

Due to the commonality of the dignitaries in various worlds who are greedy for life and death, the defense force within the aristocracy is too weak.

But after looking at the evolutionary history of mechanical puppets, Leo found that the defense force of the aristocracy was not only weak, but extremely powerful, so powerful that with his power, he rushed in without knowing anything. Difficult to retreat.

Because in that urban area, any mechanical device that has a separate steam furnace as its power is likely to be a mechanical puppet similar to the Earth Federation Battle Robot. According to this calculation, the aristocratic area of ​​the entire seventh lake on the town has nearly a thousand A mechanical puppet with strong combat power.

"This is the basis on which they can rule the world for so long." Leo closed a book about the power of mechanical puppets and murmured to himself, but then he added: "I am afraid this is also the case. The Wizarding Society is still one of the reasons it can rule here."

Thinking about the mechanical puppet control components provided by the Wizards Association, Leo is not difficult to guess that the wizards have probably moved their hands on the control components. Usually these mechanical puppets are the main force that helps the nobles of the Lake Union to rule the ten towns, but it is necessary. At the time, these mechanical puppets were also fatal killers who took the lives of nobles.

"This should also be a mechanical puppet?" As Leo recalled the mechanical puppets disguised as various steam machines in the aristocratic area through the auxiliary brain system, he suddenly thought of something, opened the spiritual network, and re-checked it. Peter Alcott said this room thoughtfully.

After a purposeful analysis of the auxiliary brain system, Leo found that the house of Peter Alcott was also a mechanical puppet, but compared to the mechanical puppets in the aristocracy, this house did not have that kind of control component, and It is a simple mechanical device, but these devices are combined through some extremely clever linkage devices to produce an automatic operation mode similar to a mechanical puppet.

Although this model cannot be as intelligent as a real mechanical puppet, it can do things like judging enemy and self and form, but this mechanical puppet is another kind of attempt, one is to remove the critical part of the control component. , A new mechanical puppet that can still maintain combat power.

"Isn't this the mech?" Leo quickly inferred from the characteristics of these mechanical parts in the house. Peter Alcott finally wanted to develop this new mechanical puppet into what it was. The final result made him also I was a little surprised.

Because, he found that the mechanical puppet developed after removing the control components will be controlled by ordinary people to fight in a fixed mode of battle, which is very similar to the early mechas of the Earth Federation.

Mechas have also been popular in the early universe exploration of the Earth Federation, but in some subsequent war conflicts with alien races, the Earth Federation found that this weapon, which was very popular in the old earth age, could not adapt to the universe level. , Or more correctly, the human form is a non-uniform racial form.

In the end, this fighter armor was either sent to the Earth Federal Military Museum as an exhibit, or distributed to ground forces as part of the ground defense force.

In a small-scale ground war that Leo had participated in, he had driven such mechas and had supplemented the relevant information specifically, so he knew the basic structure of mechas very well.

It is precisely because of this understanding that he can easily see the traces of the armor parts of the Earth Federation from some key parts of the house. For example, the device used as the main axis of the house linkage system is very similar to the support parts of the armor. Although these components have undergone some modifications, the overall characteristics have not changed much, and it can almost be judged that the two are two branch components developed from the same type of components.

Previously, Leo had revealed some small details from Peter Alcott, speculating that Peter Alcott might have been to the Earth Federation before, and this house is now another example.

"Is this his own whimsy, or is there noble forces behind him?" After carefully checking the situation of this house, Leo could not help but a question emerged in his mind.

If it was only Peter Alcott who had such a whimsy to make such a house, and cleverly install the old earth age mecha components in the house to test the effectiveness of these components, then this matter is only a personal problem. .

But if the aristocratic forces behind Peter Alcott’s behavior support it~www.wuxiahere.com~ then the aristocratic forces representing the entire Lake Union began to have the idea of ​​rebelling against the absolute **** of the wizarding association, no matter what happened to the end What it looks like, there will inevitably be some unrest within the Yinyuehu Lake District Alliance.

Thinking of this, Leo suddenly laughed at himself, and said to himself: "What does this matter have to do with me, what do you want to do so much?"

Leo, as a passer-by, did not think about these matters of power struggle within the Lake Union, but quickly collected all the remaining books in the library into the database. Then it is filed by the vice brain system.

After completing the data filing, Leo also chose a simple mechanical component from the data as he did in the other two study rooms, and prepared to go to the upper chamber to select materials for assembly and testing. Before the verification Through the data, we can guess the strength of the kinetic energy generated by the steam machinery in this world.

However, when Leo got up and was about to open the entrance to the attic room, a strong wave of psionic energy suddenly came out behind him, and a cold air below the freezing point appeared out of thin air, instantly filling the entire room, and a figure was accompanied by the cold air. Appeared together in the room.
