Chapter 884: The Founder of the Times

“...... It's just a prototype! And it can only be used within the crystal wall, and it can't convert the grumpy magic element in the astral plane!"

After noticing the sudden sparkle in Urnor's eyes, Elba hurriedly emphasized.

"That's enough, that's enough......"

Ruerno looked up at the huge furnace in front of him, his excitement overflowing, and his voice trembled: "As long as you can send the floatship to the sky, it is enough!"

Having previously asked Donald Müller to study the 'Accumulator' floatship, and now that their prototype magic furnace has appeared in this world, Ruerno can already imagine that in his lifetime, he will be able to see the sky of the Empire filled with floatships.

He knew that it was impossible for the magic energy furnace to be mass-produced, which was why the Arcane Empire abandoned the floatship in favor of the floating city.

Although the floatship moves much faster than the float city, it is not of the same magnitude in terms of manufacturing cost!

A floating ship needs a magic energy furnace, and a floating city needs a magic energy furnace plus a dozen elemental pools, and the magic energy furnace is expensive to manufacture, so it is inevitable to choose a floating city with a larger load capacity and stronger power.

If they were to choose Rulno, they would definitely choose to abandon the floatboat, because the cost performance is too low!

But now, with the addition of something called the 'Magical Machine' to the world, they have taken a very different path from the Arcane Empire.

The Arcane Empire is 'people-oriented', no matter how powerful things are, they need to be controlled by people, and the strength of these people can't be too low, otherwise they can't be controlled at all.

However, after the emergence of 'magic energy machines' in this world, they suddenly found that ordinary people are not useless, but because they are short-sighted, they have never discovered how great changes this largest group of people in the world can bring to this world.

The floatship of the future must be controlled by ordinary people and mages, and the proportion of ordinary people is also quite large.

They can control the floatship with a mechanical structure instead of using a mage like the Arcane Empire, which is already a huge cost saver.

Coupled with the emergence of the 'energy storage' circle, the manufacturing cost of the float boat has been greatly reduced.

A floatship no longer needs a magic furnace, nor does it need to sail long distances, it only needs to sail a certain distance and then land to replenish energy, and then sail!

All they need is to develop an accumulator that can store a lot of energy, and then make ...... No, if you build a floatboat according to aerodynamics, then this idea will definitely be realized!

The Magic Energy Furnace cannot be mass-produced, and it does not need to be mass-produced, so if you only need to place a Magic Energy Furnace or a giant elemental pool at a distance, you can use these two energy sources to build a 'network' within the Empire, so that the Floatship can replenish energy at any time, and the Floatship can fly over the Empire.

These floatboats can be used to transport goods, can be ridden by people, and can even be used to defend the skies above the Empire - much like the steam locomotives of the Ogordon Empire.

The empire's steam locomotives were also multi-purpose, and the steel monster had produced far more value than Urno could have imagined in the past few years, making commerce more prosperous throughout the Ogordon Empire.

The prosperity of commerce promoted the strength of the country, and after the flow of wealth, what was originally just "scrap metal in the aristocratic family" was suddenly transformed into clothing and food in the hands of the people.

This is someone secretly pushing, but even so, it makes Rourno very angry.

Ogordon's empire is becoming stronger, and their empire naturally can't be left behind, so he asked Donald Mueller to lead the team to develop a new floatship energy system.

Finally holding back the excitement in his heart, Ruerno took a few deep breaths before asking, "How many times have you tried it out?"

Elba didn't answer directly, but raised three fingers.

This answer made Rurno's face even more rosy, and his hand holding the cane could not stop shaking.

"Three ......" The former chief turned his head to look at the huge metal furnace again, tears welling up in his eyes, and muttered in a low voice.

This time there was something more in his eyes, that was anticipation, that was excitement, that was fanaticism.

It has been tested three times, which means that the prototype has basically been successful, and Elba does not emphasize what happened during these three test runs, which means that there are no major problems in these three test runs.

With only a few adjustments, the prototype is ready for use, and then it will be validated over time.

If you don't use 'time acceleration', maybe it's going to be a long time, maybe a year or two, maybe three or four years...... That's a lot of time for Rulno!

"Proving ground ...... in the suburbs"

As soon as Ruerno mentioned it, a clear voice came from behind him: "It's all ready!"

The two of them looked back and saw Charlemagne striding from behind them, standing on the other side of the Rulneau.

He also looked up at the huge metal object in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion.

Although he is no longer involved in the research and development of the magic energy furnace in the future, he has a share of the early ideas and calculations, and without his participation, it may take ten years for their empire's magic energy furnace to be developed.

But now, it's only been a few years, and they've built a 'prototype' of a weakened version of the Magic Energy Furnace.

This shows that their conjecture is correct, as long as they follow this path, a new magic furnace will be born in their hands.

They put the test site on the outskirts of the city, and if something happens during the experiment, they can control it.

There are too many secrets in the mage tower, if there is an accident during the experiment, causing the magic energy furnace to explode, it is likely that half of the mage tower will be gone, and it may also affect the surrounding residents.

After all, they never thought that the Normans would expand so quickly, and the mage tower of the Palace Mage Guild was originally located on the outskirts, but now, it is enclosed within the city walls.

"If you use [Time Acceleration], it can lead to a lot of accidents, Rulno, are you sure you want to do this?"

Even though he has now become chief, Charlemagne still has to ask Ruerno's opinion, which has become a habit for him.

"I'm sure!" Rull Norr paused on his crutches and nodded heavily, "and after the magic furnace experiment is completed, I will personally guide the development of the new floatship, and in the meantime, the development of the 'network' will be handed over to you for the time being." ”

Hearing this, Charlemagne and Elba frowned, and at the same time, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

The reason why Ruerno said this is because he is dying.

Although for a legend, the concept of 'short life' may be more than ten years, but they have been alive in this world for more than four hundred years, and a mere ten years is too short for them.

If nothing else, a legend would have lived to be at least 800 years old, and now they are only halfway through their lives.

But their friends and rivals for half of their lives are about to pass away......

"Let's go!"

Ruerno turned and left the place with a slow pace, leaning on crutches.

There was no sadness in his eyes, only perseverance!

He didn't have time to grieve, and this kind of thing should wait until after he died—anyway, as a legend, even after death, he was able to keep his soul clear.

The most important thing now is to bring the empire he loves, which has fallen a few steps behind, to catch up with the times.

The era never waits for anyone, unless that person is the creator of the era!

However, it is a pity that the coming era was created by countless individuals, and he was one of them, but that was all.
