Mage? Spell Engineer!

"Valan, your father and I know each other." The strong man in the casino stopped, and Necker smiled like a businessman: "How can you, as a noble, play in such a low-grade casino? They can't afford to lose, and they have no credibility. Word."

"I, I, ahem, my father has unfortunately passed away a long time ago."

"Sorry, sorry kid." Pulling up Valan, Necker saw that the poor young man was still clutching a piece of wrinkled donkey skin.

"I know your boss, and he still owes money to Furong Bank! Ask the boss and manager to take the money and apologize to Valan and the son of the baron!" The strong man looked at each other and walked in silently. The remaining two vaguely clamped down on the two of them. Necker's bodyguards also stepped forward to confront him.

"Poor kid! I heard you got lucky once?"

Speaking of this, Valan's eyes brightened: "Sir, you can't imagine! This is the first time I'm so full and invincible! My God, I am the greatest general in front of today's turntable."

Necker was listening and thinking: Although Valen's father was only a baron, throwing a stone casually on the pastoral streets of Valois might hit a baron, but because he was walking with the captain of the guard, Recently, he was very well-known and well-connected among the nobility, especially among the nobility from other provinces.

What's the point of this little casino? Necker wanted to use His Majesty's guarantee to play a big game with the Holy Kingdom. It happened that he picked up a new chip today. He looked at the dusty Walang. Although the chip was dirty, he had to wipe it before he could see the denomination clearly.

At the beginning of the new decade, Rorschach has been rewriting and rewriting his thesis. At the same time, he traveled back and forth between the Alchemy Department and the Magic Tower, requesting a large amount of data.

Although the core of the paper is the conceptual ideal model of the "Carnot cycle", in order to clarify the principles used, he still needs to do some experiments to establish a suitable temperature scale.

Thankfully, the world's common temperature scale is still defined by 100 equal parts of the freezing point and boiling point of water. This was jointly calibrated by the Alchemy Association and the Church of Order, which were subordinate to the magic guild during the old empire.

Yes, the Church of Light and Order stipulated many dimensions and weights and measures during the old empire, and unified the human language lingua franca on the continent. It is simply the light of mankind - "In the name of God, this is all part of the great order." "

But in the field of thermodynamics, this was not enough. Rorschach needed a temperature scale that could describe absolute zero, so a new set of experiments began. Rorschach found Pascal sleeping in the library.

"I'm about to get started, remember to keep an eye on the readings." The magnesium strip was polished until it was shiny and carefully attached to the wall of the glass test tube with green vitriol oil. These teaching instruments in the alchemy classroom were used by Rorschach to assemble into simple devices for measuring the ideal gas constant.

As for green vitriol oil, which is sulfuric acid, Rorschach didn't know how strong it was. The Alchemy Department didn't have such a thing for the time being, so Rorschach found an apprentice who was good at [Acid Sputtering] and got a large cup of acid. He extracted the green and thick liquid with water and then distilled it to get a relatively clear and transparent one. Whether the acid is sulfuric acid or not is another matter, but it can produce hydrogen.

"Master Rorschach can also do alchemy?" But it seems different from the alchemy I know. This was Pascal's thought when he was just asked by Rorschach.

Pascal was deceived by Rorschach at first. He couldn't resist the warm invitation of the mage's "underclassman" and came to the alchemy classroom. Rorschach showed his true face in the classroom where no one else was.

"Senior Brother Pascal, how can you back down? Didn't Teacher Kano ask you to help your junior brother? Speaking of Teacher Kano, he gave me the right to deduct disciplinary points. Senior, you are a bit dangerous." I don't mean anything else, it's just my junior brother. I kindly remind my senior brother not to be expelled from school.

How could Pascal be threatened by a sixteen-year-old? He frowned: "Why should I need my junior brother to remind me?"

So here we are now: "Group 13, water bath temperature 36 degrees, volume of generated gas." Pascal's voice has completely lost its vitality, and he is weakly taking readings and recording data.

By the time the other apprentices were most likely in bed, Rorschach's experiment was finally complete.

He roughly estimated the data and felt a little happy: "Thank you very much. Today's experiment is completed. Thank you for your hard work, brother!"

"As expected of a young mage, he has such a spirit of research at such a young age. Wait, what is today's experiment?" Pascal's originally dazed eyes suddenly stared at Rorschach.

"Don't be scared. I will sort out the data later. There will be no need for experiments in the next few days. Thank you for your help, senior brother!"

"Okay, goodbye, junior brother." Pascal walked out of the alchemy classroom with a tired look on his face, yawning profusely.

Avogadro's constant will be measured later. When I finish measuring it, it will be the Rorschach constant. It is okay not to introduce the concept of molar quantity for the time being. Rorschach can obtain an approximation of the ideal gas constant with a mass dimension. He divided the volume of hydrogen by its mass and obtained the relationship between different temperatures and the reciprocal of hydrogen density.

The data points are approximately distributed on a straight line. After using the regression equation to calculate it, Rorschach extended the straight line to when the volume of hydrogen gas under normal pressure is approximately zero. The intercept of this assumed point is "absolute zero", the zero point of thermodynamic temperature. .

"About minus 280 degrees, which is very close to the data of Blue Star." Copying the verification experiment from the previous life, the design is rough and the error should be relatively large. It is like shooting an arrow first and then drawing the target, but the values ​​​​similar to the previous life are still disappointing Rorschach trembled for no reason.

"Copy it into the paper. This is the open formula. No, this is the starting point of Roche's temperature scale!" If the paper is successfully published, it is likely that alchemists studying thermodynamics in this world will have to learn Roche's first law, Roche's second law. Use the Rorschach constant to calculate the Roche quantity under the Roche temperature scale. No, it's better not to name it.

One month after Rorschach came to the Tower of Stars, he came to Master Kano with the first draft of his thesis.

"Did you write this?" Kano looked at the paper, which was as thick as a pamphlet, with a strange look on his face.

"Yes, the students have been studying the problem of steam engines these days, checking the information of the Alchemy Department and doing some small experiments to verify their ideas."

Kano wanted to say that he would read it later, but as he casually flipped through it, he was attracted by the conclusion inside: "The limit of efficiency under the ideal model?"

"The efficiency of a steam engine is at its limit, and students don't understand the dwarven stuff of mechanics. Let's start with the energy direction. After all, what I was best at in the empire's academy was the [Fireball Technique]."

Is there any connection between fireball and this bunch of calculations? Kano's eyebrows almost reached the top of his head. He looked at it and sighed: "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with magic."

"The Ethereum is too subtle and changeable. Students should start with the laws in nature, and then study in depth what happens when there is magic."

Kano nodded and accepted this statement. He turned over it again and again, sometimes looking back. Finally, the fat master collapsed into a large leather chair and rubbed the corners of his eyes: "Your fantastic ideas are very wonderful, and many of your arguments remind me of the great philosophers from the old empire."

"But! At the beginning of the article, you made a mistake that only philosophers made before the old empire - heat is a kind of energy? Is this what the empire's magic academy taught you?"

Long wait, thank you to the book friend "The name must be full of sultry" for the recommendation ticket
