Chapter 630: The Sub-Steam Era
The time of coming into this world is still passing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Anyang thought that it would be difficult for him to get in touch with the knowledge of the true mysteries in this place, and at most he had a solid foundation, so he hardly missed a single class during his studies at the Capital Academy, which made many teachers admire his serious attitude towards knowledge.
In his spare time, he would borrow books about mysteries from his teachers and study them very carefully.
Originally, the other trainees only respected his strength and talent, but now because of his serious study, there were already some trainees who had disdainful of him before on the road and took the initiative to greet him, which surprised An Yang.
At the same time, because of his leading role, the three of Shirriel were also very serious and diligent in the process of cultivation and meditation.
About half a month later--
The laboratory in Anyang's residence was no longer empty, but there were more experimental equipment and equipment, but because he knew that he would not stay in the capital academy for long, he didn't spend much energy on it, and it was not rich.
Usually he just studied occult pharmacey, occult biology and some interesting reaction phenomena, and he was not interested in mechanics and matter, energetics, etc., after all, he could be a teacher of these teachers.
After another half a month, the weather gradually cooled.
At the same time, there has been a lot of change in the academy.
More than a month ago, with the support of the government, students who had been tested for talent in various colleges in the federation began to come to the capital one after another, and now is the time of the year when the Metropolitan College Trainee Organization has the largest number of people.
After the winter, most of the gifted students will go to the Silent Tower to study, and those who are originally gifted or have accumulated to a certain level in the apprentice organization will also go to the Silent Tower to study, leaving only some of the less talented.
These people stay here to study for two purposes: on the one hand, to observe the progress in the future, and if their grades improve fast enough, they can also get the opportunity to go to the tower; On the one hand, it is to ensure the connection between the tower and the federal government, and even to deter the federal government.
An Yang has been here for nearly two months, and he has already penetrated the doorway organized by the apprentices of the Capital Academy.
At this time, he was in the laboratory observing the phenomenon of the weeping flower and the grave grass under the fusion of energy, and suddenly he was stunned, a slight soft footstep sounded from far and near, and then a cloak was draped over his back, mixed with the soft touch of a woman's hand.
"It was much cooler than when we came."
Shiryl said behind his back.
An Yang looked slightly painful, but he didn't speak.
This cheap cousin has been treating him for so long as one of those mystical spells who doesn't focus on physique, or simply the young master Aine who needed his protection in the first place, but his physique has long surpassed this cousin!
“…… Thank you! ”
"This is what I should do!"
The corners of An Yang's mouth twitched again and turned his head.
Shiryl had already taken a few steps back and stood behind him at a distance of about two meters. She still doesn't wear much, her tight and plain clothes outline the hot curves, and her long legs are very eye-catching, which always makes people have the urge to knock her down.
Such a dress does not conform to the aesthetics of the Federation of this era, but it can definitely cater to the eyes of an earthling!
An Yang quickly retracted his gaze and continued to experiment.
The Crying Flower is a plant that grows in the land of the death of the Crying Forest, and it has always been very precious, until a few days ago, after the Southern Legion of the Southern Federation defeated a Ghost Slave tribe, the price slowly dropped, and it is said that it can absorb souls. Grave grass is also a plant that grows only in graveyards in shady areas, and is even rarer than the weeping flower.
And there are many defective and fake products in both......
Anyang also spent a lot of money to obtain the authenticity of these two plants, and also found a relationship with Scott.
Putting the two together and compressing and blending them with the energy of the Mystic can activate the soul fragments inside, revealing the vague nature of the souls between living beings, and creating a precious howling potion. But for Anyang, the preciousness of the Howling Elixir is undoubtedly far less than the exploration of the essence of the soul, even if it is only an entry-level method.
"Seventeen, prepare for the record."
"Ready, recording aspects include sound and light phenomena, changes in appearance, energy fluctuations, toggle frequencies, ......"
At this time, Anyang had already smashed the two plants and put them in a test tube, and began to mobilize mysterious energy, and all his own perceptions were also raised, paying close attention to the changes in the test tube, especially his spiritual power.
The Weeping Flower is brown and the Grave Grass is gray, both normal colors of plants, but the juices of the two together turn a pure sky blue. This proves that Anyang has not gone wrong in terms of proportions, and the material is also authentic.
"Snort! …… Gollum~"
As the energy suddenly entered, the sap of the plants in the potion immediately boiled, and bubbles and black smoke continued to emit bubbles.
An Yang immediately felt a cold aura.
This kind of breath is not unfamiliar, and it was often felt in Comrade Xiaoqian before, but there are more impurities and evil spirits.
Flashes of data begin to flicker on the retina.
An Yang picked up this test tube and cast a zero-order auxiliary technique 'Careful Observation' on himself, and then looked at the contents of the test tube with blazing eyes, and tentatively touched it with mana, with spiritual power and soul power.
Although the bioauxiliary chip is convenient for recording, it is too rigid after all, and can only be used for assistance, and the important thing is yourself.
But An Yang didn't feel the soul fragments released by the two materials. He was sluggish in this regard, probably because the Divine World had very little research on souls, and Azeroth had studied it a little more, but he was not proficient in magic.
After a while, the material began to transform.
The most basic embodiment is that the rhizomes and leaves of the two begin to blend, turning into a thicker sap with foam, and the sap gradually changes from sky blue to purple, until it turns black, and the cold breath rises, and the fusion phenomenon really comes out.
After the experiment, Anyang let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's really the most basic way."
In fact, he is already many times better than ordinary trainees, but he still knows a little bit, and it is estimated that he can barely see the vague nature of the soul after dozens of such experiments, and for ordinary trainees, it will also be able to open his eyes.
Turning around, Shiryl was still standing behind.
Anyang asked, "Do you see clearly?" ”
Shiryl shook her head and stepped forward to hand him a towel: "I didn't see it clearly, I could only feel the energy." ”
An Yang took the towel and wiped his hands.
"It's already pretty good."
An Yang knew that Sheryl and the others could only be regarded as having just seen the threshold in the mystic system, and ordinary apprentices could not perceive energy so far without such a high level of spiritual power, so they were already considered to be at the level of the anti-heaven.
After leaving the lab, he prepared to go outside.
Shirley hurriedly changed her clothes and followed: "Are you still going to the Hough Laboratory Building today?" ”
An Yang nodded: "Yes." ”
Shirmile didn't say anything more, and went straight to the carriage.
In the last ten days, he often wandered around the academy in his free time to practice the mystic system, and gradually discovered that this best academy in the federation was really not only hiding apprentices, but still an excellent academy except for apprentices.
As has been compared before, its status is roughly equivalent to the University of Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom, and even in the 21st century, the University of Cambridge and Oxford are still among the best universities in the world, with a strong academic atmosphere.
One has produced the most leaders in the world, and the other has produced the most Nobel laureates in the world.
Metropolis College also has a lot to offer.
At first, Anyang walked around with the idea of cultivating his mind and traveling, and was soon attracted by some things, and it happened that most of the places where these things were concentrated were in the Hove Experimental Building, and over time, he gradually developed the habit of going out to visit every day.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Hough laboratory building.
Shirley accompanied An Yang upstairs, and the two stopped in front of a laboratory where some students were busy.
There is a metal boiler in the laboratory, connected to a lot of pipes, and there is firewood under the boiler, and there are many parts to be assembled next to it, including pistons, gears, etc., which looks very weird.
It's like the ancient mechanical, metallic and industrial texture that Anyang felt in the world of Van Helsing.
However, it is older than Van Helsing's time.
They are tinkering with the prototype of the steam engine!
When Anyang first listened to Meloti talk about the basics of mechanics, he thought that the spiral propulsion technology she proposed must be applied to other dynamics, but he didn't expect that steam power would be frowned upon so soon.
It's just not fully entity-made yet.
From Anyang's point of view, the steam engine that this group of students is now building still has many loopholes, even if the structure is simple, it is difficult to escape the fate of failure, but this is not a problem, they have seen the direction, and there will be gains if they continue!
Shiryl also followed An Yang's gaze, but she really couldn't understand the huge metal bump.
At the same time, she didn't understand why Anyang turned a blind eye to Teacher Meloti's mechanical science course, but came here to watch a group of ordinary students do some meaningless things that wasted money. It's just that she didn't dare to point it out in front of An Yang.
Just as she used to think that the world was ruled by governments and knights, and now she thought that the world was controlled by mysteries, she did not understand that the general direction of the fate of this world was ultimately determined by all beings, and that others were only the ones who were in charge at most.
The most famous of the Metropolis Academy is not the apprentices, but this ordinary but unusual group of students. Many of the apprentices are not as knowledgeable as they are in mechanics, and many of them are far inferior to them, despite their mystical talents.
After looking at them for a few minutes, someone inside spotted them.
"Lord Ain is here!"
Suddenly, everyone looked towards the window.
"Lord Ain, please come in!"
"Yes, Lord Ain won't say a word when he comes!"
An Yang smiled and walked towards the laboratory.
Shiryl naturally followed behind him inch by inch, and a pair of long legs made a group of students swallow saliva subconsciously.
The students quickly looked away from Shiryl's angry figure, and after bringing a glass of water to Anyang, they continued to focus on the sample of the steam engine, frowning and pondering from time to time, or holding a pen to write and draw on the machine or paper.
They would occasionally ask An Yang for advice, but An Yang just smiled and shook his head and refused, not wanting to guide them.
Since the last time he came here and saw these people studying steam power technology, he has often come here, and the leaders of the college have specially changed a better laboratory for several students after learning about it, and allocated funds, which can be regarded as his face.
A few students did ask about him, but each time the head of the academy only said that he was a learned polymath.
From then on, every time these students saw this adult who could ride in a carriage, get money for them, and change laboratories for them, they did so with the teacher, after all, no one cared so much about their research except him.
An Yang looked at them for half an hour, shook his head and left.
When Shiryl went downstairs with him, she asked with some confusion, "Do you think they can't make it?" ”
"It won't work out this time."
Shiryl asked again, "Then why don't you mentor them?" You're obviously interested in their research. ”
An Yang was silent for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "This is not simple, let them promote the times by themselves." ”
Hearing this, Shirley felt a feeling in her heart that the mysterious person in the story was manipulating the era, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Driving our era?" Is that the machine, and do you think it has that much power? ”
"If it works, there is!"
An Yang nodded lightly and didn't say much.
In any world, the steam engine was an epoch-making product, and this reciprocating power machine, which converted steam energy into mechanical work, undoubtedly marked a new industrial age, just like the real world in eighteenth-century Europe.
In fact, it remained the most important prime mover in the world until the beginning of the twentieth century, and then gradually gave way to the internal combustion engine and steam turbine, etc., so everyone has to admit that its place in industrial history is unshakable.
No matter how good a war horse is, it can't compare to the strength of a steam engine, and no matter how good a carriage is, it can't compare to a train!
The steam engine needs a boiler that boils water to produce high-pressure steam, which can use wood, oil or natural gas, coal, and even garbage as a heat source to push the piston to do work with steam expansion.
It's just that they need to be polished in the details.
As for the technologies used in real-world steam engines, such as split condenser technology, parallel motion linkages, centrifugal governors and throttle valves, pressure gauges, etc., or alternatives to these technologies, they have not yet appeared and need to be perfected in the future.
They also didn't think of lubricating the pistons with oil.
Anyang didn't remind them.
It's a ...... Sub-steam era.
He had just left the Hough Laboratory Building with Shiryl, and before he could get into the carriage, he met an unexpected person.
