Jiang Feng opened the star disk and checked the status panel of the mechanical dog. He couldn't help but wipe his sweat and complained to Gao Fei: "Xiao Yun... assembled an absurdly strong familiar with her own hands!"

Gao Fei felt the same way.

With the mechanical dog's nearly three-digit health value, abnormal defense and damage reduction armor, plus the "force ray" shooting weapon comparable to a laser gun, who would dare to believe that this thing is just a familiar?

Compared to Gao Fei's mimicry pet "Eye of the Bead" Pearl, the mechanical dog Toto's combat effectiveness is even slightly better.

With this fierce mechanical loyal dog as a bodyguard, Xiao Ma will not have to worry about being interrupted by someone approaching him.

Whoever dares to approach, the dog will bite off his legs!

Take Toto with you, the three of you and the dog, and continue to explore the lower level of the ruins.

As soon as Gao Fei reached the stairs, he heard a gurgling sound coming from downstairs, like a big pot of boiling water.

He came to the second floor with curiosity, and the scene in front of him reminded Gao Fei of the scene of visiting the chemical plant in his junior year.

The entire second floor is like a huge chemical workshop, with transparent glass tubes as thick as an adult's waist, connecting huge flasks, funnels, condensation columns, curved neck steamers and other alchemical equipment.

In these glass pipes, boiling liquid circulates, generating a lot of steam, which condenses on the inner wall of the glass.

"This is an alchemical laboratory."

Ma Yun looked at the ancient Yaling characters on the wall and tried to interpret them.

"The Yalings were conducting an artificial rainfall experiment here. Unfortunately, before the experiment was completed, the city was hit by a sudden sandstorm. The residents of the city, including the laboratory staff, had to evacuate urgently and never returned to the city submerged in yellow sand."

"I didn't expect that after many years, this experiment that was forced to be abandoned was still operating according to the predetermined process without supervision, converting water into steam, condensing into clouds, and then forming rainfall."

"The rainwater was collected by the glass pipe and entered the evaporation stage again."

"This simulation experiment on artificial rainfall has been repeated over and over again, and I don't know how many times it has been cycled."

"If this system can cycle forever, wouldn't it become the legendary perpetual motion machine?" Gao Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Although it is a bit stupid to discuss the conservation of energy in a world with magic, even magic should be reasonable. This system can operate, where does the energy come from?"

"The energy that promotes artificial rainfall comes from the system's endogenous energy."

Ma Yun pointed to the glass pipe.

"Brother Fei, observe the steam in the pipe carefully and see what it is."

Following her instructions, Gao Fei observed the steam surging inside through the glass pipe wall and indeed found abnormal signs.

These steams seemed to have life, sometimes gathered into a ball, transformed into a bat-like shape, spread a pair of milky white wings, and glided along the pipe.

Gao Fei stared at one of the steam bats and tracked its flight trajectory.

In a blink of an eye, the steam bat became blurred, completely decomposed into gas, and merged into the white air waves, leaving no trace.

This kind of strange scene was repeated in the glass pipe.

"Part of the steam in the glass pipe seems to have life." Jiang Feng also saw the abnormality.

Student Xiao Ma nodded and continued to explain.

"Many steam bats are sealed in the pipes."

"This is a small elemental creature composed of water and fire elements, with a nearly infinite lifespan."

"The Yaling mages who presided over this experiment summoned a large group of steam bats and sealed them in glass pipes, allowing the steam bats to provide energy for this artificial rainfall experiment."

"The steam bats continuously radiate heat energy outside the body and can also be converted into steam to increase the pressure inside the pipes."

"In this way, the steam bats create a high-temperature and high-pressure environment in the pipes, like a pressure cooker, causing the water in the system to evaporate due to heat, and the water vapor rises and condenses into micro clouds until it cools and forms rainfall."

"Elemental creatures such as steam bats are equivalent to an active heat source. They can continuously extract energy from the elemental plane to replenish their own consumption, thereby maintaining the operation of this experimental system to date."

Ma Yun paused to think for a moment, and added carefully:

"I dare not say that this system can be regarded as a 'perpetual motion heat engine', but it is no problem to maintain it for hundreds or thousands of years. Considering the short life span of human beings, it is not too exaggerated to call it perpetual motion."

"In fact, in the high magic world, elemental creatures have long been fully utilized by spellcasters as 'batteries' + 'laborers'. The magic industry based on elemental technology has created countless glorious ancient civilizations. The Yaling ruins where we are now is one of the examples."

"If this technology can be introduced into the real world and replace traditional fossil energy, the energy crisis facing the world today will be solved, and it is also very environmentally friendly!"

Jiang Feng imagined with a smile.

"In fact, Tiangong is already doing this." Ma Yun whispered, "I heard from the stationmaster that Tiangong, as an institution, positions itself as a 'communication platform for technology and magic'."

"Since its establishment, Tiangong has been committed to promoting the modern scientific and technological achievements of Blue Star to the magic world, and has also tried to apply magic and magic technology to the real world, and has achieved many successful examples."

"For example, the elevator we take in the Tiangong dormitory looks like an ordinary elevator, but it is actually a magic device called 'wind-driven elevator', and the driving force comes from the 'wind element' sealed in the elevator pipe."

"When you need to take the elevator upstairs, press the corresponding button, and the wind element will transform into a whirlwind form, using the high-pressure airflow it generates to push the elevator cabin to slowly rise, and the process of descending is similar."
