Under Dennis's warm invitation, Orlando quickly got on the ride, and then experienced the "comfort" and "convenience" of the Alchemy Steam Car. It was not only slow, but also trembling...
The alchemy cart produced by the alchemy workshop also has the problem of shaking, but according to Mr. Lin En, if you can add a tire to the wheel and smooth the ground, this problem can be greatly alleviated.
"What is that roulette?" Dennis did not rush to ask about the internal combustion engine, but pointed to a huge and towering roulette in the distance and asked curiously.
The moment he entered the Iyeta harbor, he noticed this thing, which was more than twenty meters high and was still spinning slowly.
"That's a waterwheel, used to irrigate farmland. Lord Linn is very concerned about those civilians..." Orlando explained with a smile. Almost everyone asked the same question when they came in, so he was already familiar with the answers. Dennis was quickly introduced to the principle of this thing.
In fact, the spokes are rotated by the inertial motion of the water potential, and the buckets filled with river water are lifted up step by step. When they reach the top, the buckets will naturally tilt again, and the water will be injected into the aqueduct, and finally flow to the irrigated farmland. .
"Using the power of nature itself...a very exquisite design!" Dennis nodded and praised.
"I heard that the wizards of the Iyeta school have created an alchemical instrument that can travel at 90 kilometers per hour. Is this true?" Raphael on the side was the first to ask.
He was very interested in Lynn's new research, so he took a ride this time, and he also represented the parliament to evaluate the internal combustion engine.
"Of course it's true. In fact, there was a new breakthrough just yesterday. The upper limit of the top speed has been raised to 110 kilometers per hour!" Orlando explained.
One hundred and ten kilometers? Why is it getting more and more outrageous?
Dennis frowned and couldn't help but wonder if the other party was boasting.
Behind him, the faces of the members of the Alchemy Association were also full of dissatisfaction, but before they could refute, a violent explosion soon sounded.
It was like thunder exploding from the sky, and the ground seemed to shake violently.
"What's wrong? Could it be an earthquake?" Dennis said subconsciously.
The wizard's land is a huge island standing on the sea. Earthquakes occur every few years. The inspiration for vibration wave magic is based on strange phenomena, although the elemental masters have not figured out its source so far.
However, Dennis soon discovered that this was not an earthquake, because a billowing smoke floated out from the station in front of the alchemy workshop in the distance.
"Perhaps one of the alchemy instruments exploded..." an alchemist said gloatingly. The original steam engine would also have problems such as boiler explosion.
"No, it should be Dean Linn and the others who are experimenting with the power of gunpowder..." Orlando explained while rubbing his ears.
gunpowder?
Everyone present was stunned for a moment.
It was only then that Dennis noticed such a big movement. The townspeople on the road were not panicked at all, and seemed to be used to it.
Orlando didn't explain it verbally. After all, he didn't know much about this thing. He only knew that it was another very powerful weapon.
With many doubts, Dennis and others quickly arrived at an open space in front of the alchemy workshop. A large group of people were gathering here. The ground in the distance was rugged, as if it had been bombarded by fire magic.
Lin En also saw the approaching steam car at the first moment and led everyone to greet it.
"Long time no see, Master Raphael!" Linn immediately saw Raphael getting out of the car and greeted him with a smile.
"It's been a while, but I've heard your name a lot in Green Real." Raphael also laughed, and then turned to introduce Linn.
"This is Dennis, the inventor of the alchemical steam engine."
Lin En suddenly felt his eyes light up. Being able to independently invent a steam engine is definitely a talent!
"It's a great honor to meet you, Master Dennis. Your steam engine is definitely an invention that spans the ages." Linn stretched out his hand to hold Dennis's hand, already thinking about how to keep him in Harbor Town.
Dennis frowned, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the other party's words were sarcastic or sincere.
The members of the rear Alchemy Society obviously took Linn's words as a provocation, and their expressions instantly darkened.
One of the wizards stood up immediately and said with a steady expression. "Sir Lin En, we came to Iyeta just to see if your internal combustion engine is really as magical as the rumors say..."
"Of course it's no problem, but please wait a moment. Today's last experiment will be completed soon." Linn nodded casually, then looked at Darren aside, indicating to him to arrange the last experiment. experiment.
Several halflings immediately got busy, stuffing a bunch of black 'stones' into wooden barrels, and then piled up many sealed white phosphorus and gravel blocks and placed them hundreds of meters away. The place.
Darren's movements were extremely careful, and he was fully aware of the dangers of this thing.
However, after placing the gunpowder and retreating to a safe area, the expressions of the halflings became expectant, and they all turned to look at Lin En.
"Dean Lin En, can we start?" Lydia asked excitedly. When the other party nodded, she took out a rocket and put it on the specially made long bow.
Lydia is only about 1.3 meters tall, and the longbow she holds in her hand is not much smaller than her. She looks somewhat funny, but the powerful power brought by her racial talent is no joke.
The long bow was pulled straight into a full moon, pointing to the sky. As the bow string was loosened, a fiery red arrow flew out, forming a parabola and heading straight for the barrel in the distance.
The wizards who were watching covered their ears.
What are you doing?
The wizards of the Alchemy Society didn't know why, but Dennis remembered the loud noise he heard just now.
At the same moment, the rocket had penetrated the wooden board, and the black powder contained inside was quickly ignited and then exploded.
Boom~ As if thunder exploded in the ears, accompanied by dazzling fire, it shot up into the sky. The raging tongues of flames instantly covered the surrounding land, flames and sand flew, and the target standing next to it was instantly blown to pieces.
Dennis could clearly feel the sweeping heat wave, and his ears were ringing. When the smoke dissipated, the grass in front of them had turned into scorched earth. The flames were still continuing due to the white phosphorus mixed inside. The burning almost ignited the surrounding area into a sea of fire...
