Begania led the three people to walk through the castle complex and visit every corner. In addition to the structure of the external building, they also carried out the internal decoration.
The library and dormitory buildings all use wood from the Fairy Country. They use dark brown wood, which is visually deep and heavy, and is more in line with the mystery of the magician.
"To be honest, you're more comfortable here than Hogwarts."
After visiting the school, Tony said this directly to Char.
The school built by Char is much larger than Hogwarts and has more infrastructure.
"You will also live here in the future." Xia Ya said, "I have reserved a laboratory space for you. It is very hidden. The entrance door can appear anywhere in the school."
"Similar to the Room of Requirement?"
Xia Ya nodded, "Are you interested in becoming a teacher?"
"What can I teach, science?" Tony asked, "Given the contemporary background of this world, there is no scientific enlightenment in the true sense. I have to start teaching from the multiplication table."
"Indeed, the price is too low for you." Xia Ya said.
"How about leaving the store to me?" Tony said.
Xia Ya raised his eyebrows, "Do you really want to sell brooms?"
"Can't you?" Tony grinned, "It's time to bring some technological shock to the wizarding world. In the future, we can also hold a large-scale air racing project in the school, which is much more exciting than Quidditch. "
"It seems that we will have to legislate in the school in the future and stop broomsticks inside the school." Xia Ya whispered in a low voice.
"Do you have any other requests?" Bejania asked from one side.
Xia Ya shook his head, "I'm very satisfied, thank you, Bejania. You really deserve to be the designer of White City."
"You're welcome, this is also an achievement for me." Bejania said with a rosy face.
"If you are satisfied, then only the most critical step is left."
After a pause, Bejania continued, "I asked the best craftsmen among the dwarves to make the drawings and data you gave me piece by piece."
Xia Ya nodded, "Take us to see it."
Then, Begania led them into the underground of the castle through an internally designed secret passage, into a mysterious octagonal space.
Because it was built under the giant tree named Alwak, several thick root systems can be clearly seen in this space that have become the beams of this underground space.
But the most eye-catching thing is the prototype device in the middle of the space that is glowing against the firelight.
At first glance, it looks like a scaled-down version of a planetary engine, or an enlarged version of Iron Man's energy device.
This device has a circular shape in the middle and a diameter of about three to four meters. It is made up of tens of thousands of parts, but each device looks perfectly fitted together, almost like a creation of the future.
When Tony saw this, he immediately stepped forward and used the tools he carried to inspect some of the parts on it. This thing was made by the dwarf based on his design drawings, so obviously he had to have more say.
About an hour later, he stood up slowly, with a little wonder on his face, "It's incredible."
"How is it?" Xia Ya said.
"If you hadn't told me in advance, I would never have believed that this thing was made with a hammer." Tony murmured softly.
"Of course you can't produce exact parts with a hammer alone." Begania put his hands behind his back and stood in front of the device.
"However, alchemy can do it, and the precision of the idea can be perfected. You only need to let the dwarves create a rough shape, and then use alchemy to refine it, and you can process something like this.
Several of your requirements include high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. We mixed a lot of mithril into the original metal, which should be able to perfectly meet your requirements. "
Tony came back to his senses, looked at the device, and whispered to Char next to him, "You are right, this is indeed a completely different civilization.
It's not lagging behind, it just behaves differently. "
He looked at Char.
Charia raised her hand, and a bunch of machinery and materials were placed beside Tony. They were some simple exoskeleton robotic arms and the like, all made by Tony himself. Charia helped process some fine s material.
The concept of nuclear fusion is actually very simple.
Everything in this world is basically made of atoms.
Nuclear fusion is the collision and fusion of the cores of two atoms, which emits a large amount of energy.
But there is a repulsive force between atomic nuclei like magnets of the same sex repelling each other, so they need to be active to increase the probability of collision.
To make them active, you have to use high temperature and high pressure.
The heavier elements are more difficult to fuse, and conversely, the lighter elements are easier to fuse.
But even for the lightest elements, the fusion temperature you want to reach must be over 100 million degrees.
In fact, temperatures of several thousand degrees are enough to melt all substances known to mankind.
But if realized, it would be enough to have nearly unlimited energy.
Because the element deuterium required for thermonuclear fusion is abundant in seawater, theoretically, according to human energy use needs in the 21st century, it can be used by humans for 90 billion years!
Of course, this is only calculated based on the reserves of deuterium elements.
In fact, thermonuclear fusion requires the reaction of two elements. Deuterium-deuterium fusion rarely releases energy, is difficult to sustain, and should be difficult. And meaningless.
What is relatively simple to achieve is the first generation of thermonuclear fusion developed by people, which uses tritium and deuterium, one of the isotopes of hydrogen, to fuse.
There is very little natural tritium in nature, and the price is high. The average market price of 1g of tritium in 2003 was no less than 300,000 US dollars. The actual international transaction price is about 1 to 2 million US dollars/g, and the black market transaction price adds another zero.
Fortunately, tritium can be produced artificially. Tritium can be produced by bombarding lithium with neutrons, and the production of lithium on the earth is quite large.
Moreover, after the fusion of tritium and deuterium, a large number of neutrons will be produced, enough to produce a cycle.
Tony's cold nuclear fusion is based on this theory.
Cold fusion, as the name suggests, is nuclear fusion at low temperatures.
This fusion method is safer and more controllable.
The essence of nuclear fusion requiring high temperature and high pressure is to allow atomic nuclei to break through the repulsion and combine to emit energy.
But what if we use another method to combine two atomic nuclei?
For example, if two atomic nuclei are forcibly squeezed into a small space that cannot accommodate two atomic nuclei, is it possible for the two to converge?
Cold fusion is the technology of this concept, and the palladium lattice is very suitable for this small space.
In Char's previous life, this technology has been proven to be a pseudoscience.
But Char has used the power of destiny to manifest this technology in Tony's mind. This is also one of the few science fiction technologies that he has manifested.
However, Xia Ya is not sure about the specific operation.
Tony also has Char's power of destiny, and if it is recovered, he may be able to possess this part of the knowledge.
The most difficult thing about cold fusion is how to put atomic nuclei into the palladium lattice. Tony seems to have used some kind of chemical method.
But in short, after a bunch of operations that Char could not understand, the center of the device began to light up with a dazzling blue light.
At the same time, the magic circle under their feet also began to light up, and the lines of the magic circle were drawn out bit by bit.
This means that the cold nuclear fusion device in front of us has begun to fuse, and the energy released by the combination of atomic nuclei is converted into magic power by the magic circle, and is dispersed in this space.
Feeling the increasingly dense magic power in the air, Xia Ya nodded, "It seems that it is indeed feasible to use the magic circle to transform magic power."
"The sun is a super huge nuclear fusion body." Tony said, "Since this magic circle can convert sunlight, there is no reason why it can't convert the energy emitted by nuclear fusion.
but"
A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "What is the energy conversion rate of this magic circle, and how much is the loss?"
"It's up to you to research it yourself." Xia Ya said.
Tony nodded, "Give me some time and I'll see if I can formulate this process. In this case, we can build the size of the nuclear fusion device according to the formula, and the energy loss may be minimized."
After a pause, he thought for a moment and said, "We have to get a computer first. Without a computer or artificial intelligence, if complex and tedious calculations only rely on the human brain, the difficulty of various researches will increase exponentially."
"I think you can learn alchemy from the elves first." Xia Ya said, "This will be very helpful for your work.
It allows you to bypass the huge industrial system and have the ability to make high-precision parts yourself. "
After Char obtained Hal's destiny, he also gained a certain degree of knowledge of alchemy.
Although Howl's Moving Castle is a fantasy work from another world, after it is embodied in this world, it naturally has to be extended by the original framework and knowledge of this world.
So the alchemy he knows is actually very similar to the alchemy the elves know.
But whether it was his fate that led to the emergence of alchemy in this world or the other way around, he didn't know.
This is a kind of systematic knowledge.
And this knowledge can be applied with a magic circle type of magic.
By drawing magic circles and injecting magic power, he uses his knowledge to transform the form and even the nature of matter.
Alchemy is called alchemy because its original purpose is to transform base metals into precious metals, especially gold.
If we follow this description, in scientific terms, the magic of turning base metals into gold is already a change at the microscopic particle level, requiring changes in the protons and electrons in the nucleus.
In human perception, only nova explosions or neutron star collisions can produce such changes.
Of course, this is still the ultimate goal for alchemy. According to legend, this can only be achieved if you have the Philosopher's Stone.
Most people's alchemy can only change the form of matter, but cannot change its nature.
This is just the tip of the iceberg in the magic system of this world.
Although most people who use magic live in medieval castles and wear medieval clothes, the things they use may be more advanced than human technology hundreds of years in the future.
But the reason why it has become such a weird state is that magic is not created by humans.
To be honest, Xia Ya feels that this kind of alchemy is very similar to the alchemy in Steel Refining, and she doesn't know if the old man added it.
Tony nodded, and then he looked at Bejania.
"Take us to the rest of the installation."
With such a huge territory, it is naturally impossible to rely solely on such a cold nuclear fusion to supply energy. There are at least dozens of such devices evenly distributed throughout the thousands of acres of land.
This is a big project, but fortunately, the main body has been created by alchemy.
Fortunately, the treasure that Char obtained was rich enough. Otherwise, no one in the Fairy Land except Queen Titania would be able to pay the price for just these devices.
But the installation of the last step of the energy device took about more than a week.
After all the installation was completed, Char stood on a high platform built in the middle of the trunk of the giant tree named Alwak.
This is a circular platform with many magic array patterns painted on it.
Of course, the lines here are only part of it. The entire array had already covered thousands of acres of land when it was built.
At this moment, due to the running cold nuclear fusion, the entire school is exuding strong magic, which is even stronger than that of the Fairy Home.
He was standing in the center of the magic circle with the wand he made not long ago in his hand, with Vegapunk, Tony, Alicia and others standing beside him.
"Has everyone evacuated?" Xia Ya asked.
Begapunk nodded, "Everyone has withdrawn outside the magic circle."
Xia looked into the distance. On the hilltop in the distance, a group of dwarves, elves, and goblins were looking at this place. They were all the builders of this school.
"If this plan is really feasible," Begania said, suppressing the excitement in his heart, "all of this will become a legend in the history of architecture."
"Then, let this legend become a reality!"
Xia Ya raised his staff and stomped it to the ground.
"Dong~"
Along with the sound like the first ringing of a morning bell, a huge amount of magic power spread out around Char like waves on a calm lake, centered on Char.
Overlooking the entire land from this angle, a huge magic circle also spreads out with the giant tree as the center.
"Boom!"
The ground began to shake, and as far as the eye could see, a huge deep groove opened up in the ground, and it spread to both sides, gradually enclosing a large area centered on the giant tree.
This area is like an isolated island, gradually becoming independent from the earth.
Then, Tony and others clearly felt the ground rising, and the giant tree was uprooted by this force.
This enclosed land of thousands of acres actually slowly broke away from the earth and floated, filling the vast sky with fragrance!
