Hengchun Plaza.

When Sha Duo came here after checking the current situation of the territory, Boli and Peter were already standing in a row next to the steam car. When the three saw Sha Duo coming, they immediately saluted respectfully:

"President."*2

"Lord Lord."

Xia Duo nodded slightly towards Boli and Peter, and then turned his attention to the third person. He looked at the other person curiously, wearing an ordinary standard robe for apprentices and scribes of Daxia collar.

But the difference is that the hem of this standard robe has been cut off, only reaching about half a foot below the waist. There is also a gray cloth belt tied around the waist, making the other party look energetic and capable.

The black marks on the upper body's robe and lower body's trousers further revealed the characteristics of the other party's frequent labor, which left a deep impression on Sha Duo.

"what's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Hero, I come from Younan Territory in the mainland."

"Younan Ling?"

Xia Duo recalled it and had some impressions of this territory. It seemed to be a small territory near the Green Alliance. The lord was a great mage who had been passed down for a few generations. Politically, he belonged to the Jilan Tower among the Seven Towers.

"Yes, Lord Lord."

Hero shook his head, but did not brag, but explained honestly: "Because I couldn't continue to study steam engines in Younan Territory, and because of the rejection of many people, I finally chose to leave. Since then, I have gone north all the way, not to mention not much I have had time to study it, and it wasn’t until I came to Daxia that I had the opportunity to continue my research.”

"Of course you can see that, but the steam engine can only replace the ordinary labor of the lower class, and it cannot provide any help in the field of magic. And the blacksmiths of Younan Territory are all closely related to the followers of Lord Younan. This It is not difficult to understand what choice Lord Younan will make in this situation. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the steam hammer I invented cannot completely replace the blacksmith."

Hero pointed to the cylinder that occupied a considerable space inside the car body and introduced it to Shado, "There is a cylinder connected to the boiler, and there is a piston inside. The expansion of the steam in the boiler will push the piston forward."

"Why? Doesn't Lord Younan see the potential of steam engines?" Sha Duo continued to ask.

"Since a steam car can be made, it means that the technology of the steam engine itself is relatively mature. Has it been used in other applications before? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

Although the steam car has stopped at this moment, the steam engine is still working. When the piston is pushed to the side away from the steam, one end of the cylinder will release steam rhythmically with a "pop" sound.

"Tell me how you came up with the idea of ​​inventing this!"

"Yes, Lord Lord, I was enlightened in Lord Younan's mage tower, but my talent is limited. I have been studying for several years and I am still an apprentice. It is precisely because of this that I turned my goal to steam engines, hoping to obtain special benefits. The Southern Lord paid attention to me, but what I didn’t expect was that the attention came, but it was not the attention I expected, but a reprimand, and even ordered me not to conduct relevant research. "

"Is this steam car your invention?" Chateau asked Hero.

During this process, the crankshaft connected to the piston will be pushed further forward around the connection point at the other end. The backward thrust will return the piston to the original position of the cylinder, waiting for steam to push again.

"So do you have an improved steam hammer now?"

This question is what Xia Duo is most curious about. The steam engine cannot be developed overnight and requires a long period of technical accumulation. However, in the process, it should at least spread a little reputation. This makes Xia Duo very puzzled.

What made Chateau feel a bit bright was the way the crankshaft of the steam engine was connected to the wheels. It seemed that there was also a clutch-like lever. When it was lowered, the steam power would be transmitted to the wheels, and when it was raised, it would disconnect it.

"Sir, this is a steam engine. The sealed iron barrel in the middle is what I call the 'boiler'. This is a device specially used to generate steam."

"Come, Hero, tell me about the steam engine on this car."

"Are you still a mage apprentice?!" Xia Duo was even more surprised now.

All have relatively complex devices and structures.

After hearing this, Xia Duocai had a relatively general understanding of Hero and the history of steam engines, but he felt that Lord Younan's ban on researching steam engines must not only be the opposition of his followers, but also there should be other reasons.

But in Xia Duo's view, the car is not actually important. The key lies in the steam engine in it, so he asked: "You were the one who invented the steam engine, right?"

It's such a simple structure. Although Xia Duo doesn't know much about the details of steam engines in the past generations on the earth, he can't see the overall thumbnail. It seems that none of them are as simple as what he sees now.

To this, Hero’s answer was——

"I see!"

"No, this was invented by Boli, Peter and me together." Hero replied humbly.

But no matter what, at least Daxia leaders don't have to care about these reasons, and for now, Xia Duo doesn't see any obvious disadvantages of steam engines.

"No."

"Yes."

When Hero mentioned his proud invention, he immediately became excited. He extended his hand to invite Sha Duo to get in the car, and then followed him. Since there was not much space in the car, Boli and Peter stayed outside the car.

Perhaps they simply don’t want the bottom layer to be lazy, or perhaps they are worried that such a machine may eventually touch the realm of magic and cause backlash.

"I once made a steam hammer that could be used for blacksmithing in my hometown, but I was ostracized by the local blacksmiths because of it. Although I am still a mage apprentice, this status did not save me from the fate of being ostracized."

"When I was a kid, I helped my family cook. When the fire was strong, the steam in the pot could push up the lid. That's when I came up with this idea. Although it later turned out that the lid was actually pushed up by the boiling soup, but if If it’s properly sealed, steam can still produce strong power!”

From this perspective, the Daxia Territory and the Younan Territory are still potential allies! At least that's what it seems on the surface!

As for other aspects, it seems too ordinary.

However, considering that steam cars and even steam engines are still in their infancy, it is amazing enough to be able to do this. Xia Duo remembers that there have been several rounds of major improvements in steam engines in the history of the earth, and no one directly built a steam car at the earliest. .

"good, very good!"

Xia Duo praised it without hesitation, and then asked: "How much charcoal does this car need to burn from Daxia to Savile? How much water does it need to add? How safe is it?"

When Xia Duo asked this question, the excitement in Hiro's eyes almost overflowed. He quickly replied: "Lord, the current test results are that a total of about 130 pounds of charcoal will be burned from the Daxia Leader to the Savile Leader. , you need to add about 200 liters of water, the safety is absolutely reliable,
