St. Elvin City, the beautiful Long Island at the end of spring and the beginning of summer.
In a large empty space, five transparent [Magnetic Ohlite] pillars with the appearance of a crystal pillar were scattered about 100 meters apart in the shape of a pentagram.
Beside each [Magnetic Ohlite], there were two young men in the uniform of Garriott National University.
"Everyone, get ready … Activate the [Magnetic Ohlite] at maximum power!"
"Yes, sir!"
As Elvin, who was standing in the center of the pentagram, gave the order, the ten young men who had been waiting for a long time had lightning flashing on their fingertips as they activated the powerful energy they were responsible for.
Crackle, crackle …
Vroom!
A blazing white light was released, and a huge electric field instantly descended on this area. The air was easily penetrated, and bright silver electric snakes danced wildly in the field of vision.
Other than Elvin, who was standing in the center of the pentagram, a small number of onlookers led by Levina all stepped back.
However, the ten students from the National University stood still on the spot.
Although lightning flashed on their bodies, they didn't seem to be affected by the huge energy that could instantly kill an elephant.
It was because they had all taken a very special transcendent profession together — [Electrical Engineer], and the mysterious source was Elvin, the powerful [Divine Creature] who was good at using the power of lightning.
The [Electrical Engineer] at the level of a [Apprentice] had almost no combat ability. It was a profession that was more complete than a wizard apprentice, and it wasn't too difficult to level up.
Prerequisites:
He had already finished the [Basics of Electricity], which included three main courses: circuit, electrical engineering, and power system. He had completed the theoretical accumulation.
Then, he had to make a practical electrical tool according to the existing blueprints and complete his own practical class.
Finally, he had to take a special [Electrical Potion]. The main ingredient was the transcendent characteristic of a weak transcendent creature called the "Electrical Mouse".
After successfully taking the [Electrical Engineer] job, he would awaken a series of abilities with the [Magnetic Field of Life] as the core: [Electric Sense], [Passive Insulation], [Versatile Hands], [Electromagnetic Pulse], [Simulated Voltage] …
It was equivalent to being born with wire pliers, sharp-nosed pliers, round-nosed pliers, screwdrivers, electrical knives, wrenches, measuring pens, ammeters, voltmeters, kilowatt-hour meters, multimeters … and so on.
Ugh, the protective measures were useless. He rolled up his sleeves and started fighting.
Now, Elvin was leading this group of new [Electrical Engineers] in a practical class.
Although it was a little high-end for them and even for this era.
Crack!
Amidst the crackling lightning of shocking energy, a section of the tree stump in Elvin's hand quickly dehydrated, carbonized, and finally turned into a piece of black charcoal.
With a wave of his hand, pure carbon powder as fine as dust was formed.
Then, Elvin's [Demonic Eye of Insight] shone brightly, and a large amount of carbon powder gradually condensed into a dense black carbon ball.
Through Elvin's body, the majestic electric energy emitted by the [Magnetic Ohlite] went deep into the unknown microscopic domain, creating an extremely magical change.
Elvin had already decided on two directions for the development of [Heraldic Knight] — the macroscopic world and the microscopic world.
The Macroscopic World's extended application was Weather Sprite.
Not only was it equivalent to a strengthened version of the [Djinn of Storms], but it could also rely on the majestic "vitality magnetic field" to leverage the power of the world itself and induce large-scale meteorological disasters beyond Level 4.
The "microscopic world" could be expanded to the atomic level.
At this scale, molecular and atomic bonds were just a kind of electrical attraction. As long as one's control was strong enough, one could change the composition of matter at will and achieve the most magical alchemy!
However, the difficulty of interfering with the "microscopic world" was far higher than the "macroscopic world". It was not until his mental strength had advanced to Level 4 and relied on the power of [Divinity] that Elvin finally had the ability to make his first attempt.
So.
Under the gaze of the onlookers who endured the strong light.
The "carbon ball" that seemed to have been completely compressed was compressed again little by little, gradually showing the texture of a crystal.
This was because the arrangement of the carbon elements was undergoing a magnificent qualitative change from "charcoal" to "diamond"!
Diamond was a colorless octahedral crystal composed of pure carbon and linked by carbon atoms with a tetravalent bond.
As the "C-C bond" was very strong, all the electrons participated in the formation of the covalent bond. There were no free electrons, and the structure was relatively simple, which also saved Elvin a lot of trouble in his first practice.
"Creak!" "Creak!"
Until half an hour later, with the help of ten [Power Engineers], the carbon ball in Elvin's hand finally turned into a black and somewhat murky crystal.
"Phew!"
Looking at the final product, Elvin, who was sweating profusely, let out a deep breath.
Electrical alchemy … succeeded!
Although it was forced to open the atomic bonds with an unlimited supply of energy, and at least 99.99% of the energy was wasted, it still achieved the expected goal.
And as long as he found the trick, even manually refining gold was not a dream.
In the "periodic table" that Olivia had gradually perfected, the element number of mercury was 80, and the element number of gold was 79.
As long as he could take a proton from the atomic nucleus, he could make mercury into gold with one less element number!
A supernova explosion? There was no need at all.
"Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!"
"Elvin, this is really amazing! This kind of material change is even more magical than the various new products that the Steam and Machinery Faith is pushing out. Is this really technology? "
Levina looked at the huge diamond in Elvin's hand and clapped her hands. Even though she saw it with her own eyes, she still found it hard to believe.
Or rather, since Watt advanced to [Truth Concretization] last year, the experience during this period of time had continued to impact this queen's worldview.
Today, the "Tulip Alliance" was an unprecedented force that spanned across the entire material world. With a prosperous economy and market, it provided fertile soil for technological advancement.
The "Steam and Machinery Faith" led the capital of Faletis, Bechler, and the "Tree of Life School" and the "Gem School" led the Duchy of Calot, Saint Elvin City, as the center.
The two scientific and technological paths reflected each other's brilliance, blooming with brilliant light and heat.
Under their lead, science gradually entered the vision of mankind.
Even though many common sense problems were not universally solved, in many fields, they had shown more outstanding imagination than modern society.
In the "Steam and Machinery Faith," a new profession, [Steam Engineer], was very similar to [Power Engineer]. The equipment created was extremely energy-efficient.
It could be operated as long as there was coal, and it did not need as many logistical facilities as electricity.
With the help of the [Hephaestus Cube], a series of explosive inventions had gradually shone in Faletis.
Some people were still riding in carriages on the streets, but some people had already started to use steam-powered vehicles. In addition to the normal firearms in the army, there were more powerful steam-powered firearms.
Levina even saw the prototype of a machine called the "Difference Engine" in the "Steam and Machinery Faith" church.
It contained more than 4,000 brass parts and weighed 2.5 tons. The error of the main parts could reach a high accuracy of one thousandth of a centimeter. It was one of the peak representatives of the steam industrial civilization of this era.
It could automatically process the calculation process of different functions according to the designer's wishes, increase the speed of multiplication, and improve the accuracy of logarithms and other numerical tables.
Under the leadership of Watt, the new [Truth Concretization].
The Kingdom of Faletis, the first place to complete the "Steam Industrial Revolution", had a hint of steampunk in it.
Even Levina, the central figure at the center of the world's changes, gradually began to not recognize the world.
She could not help but recall what the principal of Princeton said, "The only extraordinary profession in this world that can threaten the gods is the wizard."
It was not the power of the wizard that could defeat the gods, but the extraordinary creativity that could change the world from the bottom. In other words, it could lead the tide!
The experimental site was cleaned up by a group of [Power Engineers]. Elvin walked to Levina and threw the big diamond in his hand to her.
"Take this and play with it too."
He winked at Levina.
"After seeing our inventions, do you think the future of this world is destined to belong to the 'Electric Age'?"
"Hahaha, your internal combustion engine and electric motor are only prototypes now. They can't be compared to Mr. Watt's various steam engines.
But I think Olivia's' petrochemical 'has great potential. Hmm, does it look good? "
She chuckled and poured a bucket of cold water on Elvin's "self-praise". She gently lifted the gorgeous hem of her royal dress and gracefully twirled in front of Elvin like a graceful swan.
Even with Elvin's calmness, he could not help but look at the beautiful leg of the queen.
The smooth and white leg was wrapped in a layer of close-fitting transparent flesh-colored fabric. The originally flawless body looked even more seductive under the hazy concealment.
Elvin's heart skipped a beat when he saw the queen who gave him free benefits.
"Ahem …"
There was no doubt that this fabric, which seemed to be lighter than gauze, was a product of the petrochemical industry — silk stockings.
It was also called "the greatest invention of the century" by Levina, a loyal fan.
Ha, women.
Of course, as a man, he could not deny the greatness of this invention.
This also explained a problem. No matter how prosperous the steampunk era was, how could it compare to the colorful "Electric Age"?
In terms of energy density, coal was completely defeated by oil.
Moreover, Olivia, who had the [Magic Eye of Truth] and the [Jade Record], had also started her own material science (modern chemistry) career.
Among them, the "black gold" of oil was especially representative.
Let's see what the "petrochemical industry" with this as the core would bring to the world.
Oil was sent to the distillation tower of the refinery to be "separated". From light to heavy, it could be separated into volatile oil, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and heavy oil.
Then, the heavy oil was sent to the vacuum heating furnace to be "separated". It could be separated into diesel, lubricant, paraffin, and asphalt.
In the future, these products could be used as fuel for aircraft, warships, ships, cars, internal combustion engines, rockets, lubricants for machinery, and so on.
In addition, oil could also be used to produce plastic, nylon, polyester, acrylic, vinylon, polypropylene, alcohol, synthetic rubber, paint, fertilizer, laundry detergent, and more than 5,000 other chemical products.
It was no exaggeration to say that "oil" was the blood of the industry.
The raw material of silk stockings was nylon, which was a type of plastic.
Of course, Olivia was able to create this product better than other products because of Ai Lun's guidance.
Well, our slogan is: "Leg, leg, leg!"
Elvin touched his nose and did not care about the deviation of Levina's focus. Time would prove everything.
"Material conversion" was a milestone, and it also marked the next important work on the agenda.
After the basic outline of the electrical age was almost formed, a large number of backup personnel would be responsible for following up. He finally made up his mind to start the long-delayed second space exploration plan!
Looking at Levina beside him, his heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, we happen to have a very novel exploration plan. Are you interested in going to the stars together?"
The latter followed his gaze and looked at the vast sky. Her big lake green eyes could not help but light up.
"Okay!"
After setting a departure date, he sent her off.
Elvin turned his head and saw Milan, who was also watching from the side, sneaking over. She rubbed her hands together and said:
"Hehehe, well, I have a friend …"
