Extraordinary Sailing

St. Irvine, the scenic Long Island in late spring and early summer.

In a large area that has been completely emptied, there are five crystal pillar-like transparent [magnetites] distributed in the shape of a pentagram at a distance of 100 meters.

Next to each [Magnetic Stone], there are two capable young men wearing Garriott National University uniforms.

"There are all of them, ready to activate [Magnetic Stone], maximum power!"

"Obey!"

Following the order from Aiwen, who was standing in the center of the pentagram, the fingertips of the ten young people who had already been waiting for the battle flickered, and at the same time activated the powerful energy they were responsible for.

Crackling

Hum——!

The blazing white light radiated, and a huge electric field instantly descended on this area, the air was easily pierced, and bright silver electric snakes danced wildly in the field of vision.

Except for Aiwen who was at the center of the pentagram, a small number of onlookers led by Liwena backed away.

But the ten students of the National University stood still.

Although the lightning flashed on his body, he didn't seem to be affected by the huge energy that could instantly kill an elephant with just the aftermath.

It's just because they have joined a very special brand-new extraordinary profession - [Electrical Engineer], and the source of the mystery is Aiwen, a powerful [Divine Creature] who is good at using the power of lightning.

The first-level apprentice [Electrical Engineer] has almost no actual combat ability. It is a life-like occupation that is more thorough than the wizard apprentice, and the difficulty of promotion is not too high.

Preconditions:

I have completed the "Basics of Electricity" including three main courses: circuits, electromechanics, and power systems, and completed the accumulation of the theoretical stage.

Then, according to the existing more than ten kinds of drawings, hand-made a practical electrical prop to complete your own practical class.

Finally, he took the specially made [Electrical Potion], the main material of which was the extraordinary characteristics of a weak low-level extraordinary creature "Electric Mouse".

After successfully working as an [Electrical Engineer], you will awaken a series of abilities centered on [Life Magnetic Field]: [Current Sensing], [Passive Insulation], [Versatile Hands], [Electromagnetic Pulse], [Analog Voltage].

It is equivalent to being born with: wire pliers, needle-nose pliers, round-nose pliers, screwdrivers, electrician's knives, adjustable wrenches, electric test pens, ammeters, voltmeters, watt-hour meters and multimeters and other tools.

Uh, the protective measures are all in the air, roll up your sleeves and start working.

Now, it is also a practical class for Aiwen to lead this group of freshmen [electrical engineers].

Although it is really high-end for them and even for this era.

crackle!

In the astonishingly energetic electric light, a stump in Aiwen's hand dehydrated and carbonized rapidly, and finally turned into a piece of black charcoal.

Between waving hands, pure toner powder as fine as dust has been formed.

Immediately, Aiwen's [Magic Eye of Insight] burst into light, and a large pile of toner gradually aggregated into a dense black carbon ball.

The majestic electric energy emitted by [Magnetic Stone] has penetrated into the unknown microscopic field through Aiwen's body, creating a miraculous change.

Aiwen has long identified two directions for the development of [Knights of Heraldry]-"macrocosmos" and "microcosm".

The extended application of "Macro World" is 【Weather Wizard】.

Not only is it equivalent to an enhanced version of [Storm Djinn], but it can also use the majestic "life magnetic field" to leverage the power of the world itself and induce a large-scale meteorological disaster beyond the fourth order.

The "microcosm" can be extended to the atomic level.

At this scale, molecular bonds and atomic bonds are just a kind of electrical attraction. As long as the control is strong enough, the material composition can be changed at will, and the most amazing alchemy can be realized!

It's just that it is much more difficult to interfere with the "microcosm" than the "macrocosm". It was not until the spiritual power was promoted to the fourth level, and with the power of [Divinity] as a support, Aiwen was finally able to make the first attempt.

then.

Under the gaze of onlookers who endured the glare.

The "carbon sphere" that seemed to have been completely compacted was actually compressed a little bit again, gradually showing the texture of a crystal.

This is because the arrangement of carbon elements is undergoing a gorgeous qualitative change from "charcoal" to "diamond"!

Diamond is a colorless octahedral crystal composed of pure carbon, which is linked by carbon atoms with tetravalent bonds.

Because the "C-C bond" is very strong, all electrons participate in the formation of covalent bonds, there are no free electrons, and the structure is relatively simple, which also saves a lot of trouble for Aiwen's first practice.

creak! creak!

Until half an hour later, with the assistance of ten [electrical engineers], the carbon ball in Aiwen's hand finally turned into a dark and somewhat turbid crystal.

call--!

Looking at the final product, Aiwen, who was sweating profusely, let out a deep breath.

Electric Alchemy.Successful!

Although the atomic bonds were forcibly broken under the unlimited energy supply, at least 99.99% of the energy was wasted, but the expected goal was achieved after all.

And as long as you find the trick, even refining gold manually is really not a dream.

In the "periodic table" that Olivia has gradually perfected, the element number of mercury is 80, and the element number of gold is 79.

As long as one proton can be removed from the nucleus, mercury can be turned into gold with one less element number!

A supernova explosion? Under the unlimited energy supply of [Magnetite], there is no need for it at all.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

"Aiwen, it's really amazing! This kind of material change is even more miraculous than the various new products launched by the 'Steam and Mechanic God'. Is it really technology?"

Liwena, who was outside the court, looked at the huge diamond in Ivan's hand and clapped her hands gently. Even if she saw it with her own eyes, she still felt a little unbelievable.

In other words, since Watt was promoted to 【Concrete Truth】 last year, the experience during this period has been continuously impacting the worldview of Her Majesty the Queen.

Today, the "Tulip Alliance", an unprecedented force spanning the entire material world, provides a fertile soil for technological progress with a prosperous economy and market.

Bekele, the capital of Phalatis dominated by the "Cult of Steam and Mechanism", and St. Ivan, the Duchy of Garriot, dominated by the "Tree of Life School" and "Gem School".

The two scientific and technological routes complement each other, blooming incomparably brilliant light and heat.

Under their guidance, science has gradually entered the field of vision of mankind.

Even if there are many common sense problems that have not been universally solved, in many fields it has shown a more outstanding imagination than modern society.

In the "Cult of Steam and Mechanics", the new profession [Steamer], which is very similar to [Electrical Engineer], produces equipment with extremely high energy efficiency.

It can run on coal and does not require as many logistical facilities as electricity.

With the assistance of the [Hephaestus Cube], a series of explosive inventions have gradually shined in Phalitis.

Some people on the street are still riding in horse-drawn carriages, while others have begun to pioneer the use of steam-powered vehicles; in addition to normal muskets, more powerful steam-powered guns have appeared in the army.

Rivina even saw a mechanical prototype called "Difference Engine" in the church of "Steam and Mechanism".

It contains more than 4,000 brass parts and weighs 2.5 tons. The error of the main parts can reach a high accuracy of one thousandth of a centimeter. It is one of the pinnacle representatives of the steam industry civilization in this era.

The "difference engine" can automatically handle the calculation process of different functions, increase the speed of multiplication and improve the accuracy of digital tables such as logarithmic tables according to the designer's will.

Under the leadership of Watt, the new [Truth Concrete].

The Phalatis Kingdom, the first place to complete the "steam industrial revolution", already has a faint taste of steampunk.

Even Liwena, the core figure at the center of the world's changes, has gradually begun to not know the world.

I couldn't help recalling what the principal of Princeton once said: "The only extraordinary profession in this world that can threaten the gods is the wizard."

It's not that the wizard's power can defeat the true god who stands high in the sky, but that he can set off a world change from the bottom with his extraordinary creativity, in other words, he can lead the trend!

Naturally, a group of [electrical engineers] went to clean up the experimental site. Aiwen walked towards Liwena and threw the big diamond in his hand to her.

"Let's play with this too."

By the way, wink at Rivina:

"Having seen our inventions, do you feel that the future of this world is destined to belong to the 'Electric Age'?"

"Hehehe, your internal combustion engine and electric motor are only prototypes now, and they are not as good as Mr. Watt's various models of steam engines.

But I think Olivia's "Petrochemical" has a bright future, hey, is it good-looking? "

With a charming smile, I poured a basin of cold water on the "self-proclaimed" Ivan, but gently lifted the gorgeous skirt of her court dress, and spun around in front of Ivan like an elegant swan.

Even with Aiwen's concentration, his eyes couldn't help falling on the beautiful calf exposed by Her Majesty the Queen.

The smooth and white calf is wrapped in a layer of skin-fitting transparent flesh-colored fabric, and the already flawless body is even more charming under the hazy cover.

The queen who gave benefits for nothing also made Ai Wen slightly surprised.

"Cough cough."

There is no doubt that this layer of fabric, which seems to be thinner than tulle, is the creation of petrochemicals-silk stockings.

Also called by Rivina, a loyal fan: "The greatest invention of this century!"

Oh, woman.

Of course, as a man, he can't deny the greatness of this invention.

This also illustrates a problem from the side, no matter how prosperous steampunk is, how can it compare with the splendor of the "Electrical Age"?

In terms of energy density alone, coal will completely lose to oil.

Moreover, with [Magic Eye of True Sight] and [Jade Record] Olivia, she has already started her own career in materials science (modern chemistry).

Among them, the "black gold" of oil is the representative.

Let's see what the "petrochemical industry" with this as the core will bring to the world.

The oil is sent to the distillation tower of the refinery for "separation", which can be separated from light to heavy: volatile oil, gasoline, kerosene, diesel oil and heavy oil.

Then the heavy oil is sent to the decompression heating furnace for "separation", and can be separated into: diesel oil, lubricating oil, paraffin and asphalt.

In the future, these products can be used as power fuels for aircraft, warships, ships, automobiles, internal combustion engines, rockets, lubricants for mechanical equipment, etc.

In addition, petroleum can also be used to manufacture more than 5,000 chemical products such as plastics, nylon, polyester, acrylic, vinylon, polypropylene, alcohol, synthetic rubber, paint, fertilizer, and washing powder.

It is not an exaggeration to call "petroleum" the blood of industry.

Among them, the raw material of stockings is nylon, which is a kind of plastic.

Of course, for Olivia to be able to produce this kind of thing better than other products in the end, teacher Ai's guidance must be indispensable.

Well, our slogan is: "Legs, legs, legs!"

Touching his nose, Aiwen didn't care about the deviation of Liwena's focus, and time will prove everything.

"Material transformation" as a milestone, also marks the next important work to be put on the agenda.

After the foundation of the Electric Age was almost outlined, a large number of backup personnel were responsible for following up, and he finally made up his mind to start the long-delayed second space exploration plan!

Seeing Liwena beside her, her heart moved:

"Your Majesty, we just have a very novel exploration plan, are you interested in going around the starry sky together?"

The latter followed his gaze to the vast sky, and his big lake green eyes couldn't help but brighten up:

"OK!"

Make an appointment on the day of departure, after sending her away.

Ai Wen turned his head and saw Milan, who was also on the sidelines just now, approached in a thief-like way, rubbed his hands together and said:

"Hey hey, what, I have a friend."
