Extraordinary Puppeteer

Chapter 334 The Steam Core of the Second Era

Four hours later, Karin and Banyan slowly opened their eyes.

For them, four hours of deep meditation is enough to recover from all fatigue.

When Karin possessed Emiya with a refreshed face, his eyes lit up immediately.

Immediately after switching to Emiya's perspective, she turned around, and she saw a four-legged steel giant approaching in the distance.

The giant beast exhaled steam like white mist, and its four slender mechanical legs crawled firmly on the snowfield step by step, and the footprints it stepped on stretched all the way to unknown places in the distance.

The world was silent, only the steam echoed in the pure white world.

Knock-knock-knock-knock-

This silly, black and thick steam machine seems to have been specially designed. The four legs prop up the main part high. The main body is more than five meters above the ground, and four flexible mechanical arms extend out of the body.

It is completely designed for the environment of ice and steam, so there is no need to worry about the thick snow on the ground hindering the movement of the machine.

Emiya was immediately refreshed when she saw this steam quadruped robot.

The quadruped robot's steps seem to be cumbersome, but each step spans a long distance, and the speed is not slow. Karin visually estimated that the speed exceeded [-] kilometers per hour.

Emiya stood quietly on the spot until the four-legged steam robot passed her, then followed closely behind her, ready to follow it all the way.

Because the world is now a vast expanse of whiteness, Karin doesn't know where the new home settlement is.

For the time being, I can only let Emiya follow the steam quadruped robot first to see where its destination is.

This robot is equipped with a steam core, and there is also a modified space cargo compartment inside, with a volume of about two thousand cubic meters.

It can be regarded as an extraordinary version of an intelligent robot, which can be used not only as a cargo vehicle, but also to operate some equipment in the factory. This is a perfect worker who does not need wages, and can even be a cameo.

Now this machine is following unknown instructions, but its intelligence is very rigid, completely ignoring Emiya who is following behind.

Emiya's eyes directly penetrated the metal shell of the robot, carefully observing its internal structure, especially the steam core that serves as the center.

Karin quickly sketched the three-dimensional structural diagram of the steam core in his mind, and the seemingly simple structure was stuffed with an extremely complex full-mechanical design.

A watermelon-sized volume is equipped with a steam energy pack capable of storing ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature, and it is outputting steam kinetic energy with its exaggerated efficiency.

The whistle sounded continuously from the back of the robot, spewing hot steam.

In addition to the energy system, there is also a core component - the small differential engine structure, which realizes complex intelligent automatic instructions.

This is a black technology product mixed with a lot of extraordinary elements.

The steam energy pack and the small differential mechanism components are the two core components of the steam core.

Karin compared the difference in design between the steam core of the Second Era and the steam core of the Skaven clan Skryre of the Fourth Era.

He soon discovered that the steam core of the quadruped robot seemed to be a work of art handcrafted by a master, with a very strong personal style, and definitely not a product on the assembly line.

And the steam core of the Skrye clan can be mass-produced on the assembly line. Although the output is scarce, it is still a standard industrial product.

This can be seen from the material components, internal structure design, and the magic circle depicted.

The core of steam in the Second Era is completely Lida Flying Bricks. The combination of technology and transcendence is very incomplete. It is obvious that two distinct things are forcibly brought together.

The power is completely supported by the exquisite magic circle and powerful supernatural materials, and the craftsmanship is also at the master level.

This is a carefully polished work of art, although the quality is not to say that it is much better than the mass-produced goods of the Fourth Era, one can hold five or six of the Skryre clan.

But there is a huge disadvantage - the cost is very high.

It is not universal, and there are only a very small number of extraordinary people who can have this kind of craftsmanship, and the output is of course very, very, very rare.

As for the steam cores of the Skuri Clan in the fourth era, even some special models can be mass-produced in the alchemy workshop.

Relying on the design to make up for the shortcomings of materials and magic circles, the quality of a single piece was hammered to the ground by the Second Era, but the cost performance was lowered.

From the design of this robot, we can see the difference between the two different eras. Now it is only the second era. At this time, not to mention the alchemists of the sage path, even the wizards are still missing.

The manufacture of supernatural items is entirely done by the supernatural beings rubbing them with their hands. It is only a dream to mechanize assembly line operations.

The superhumans of this era were able to produce high-end goods such as steam cores and four-legged steam robots, which was beyond Karin's expectations.

He even thought that this era was still in the era of medieval knights and lords, and there was no shadow of steam technology.

However, this cannot deny the craftsmanship of the transcendents of the second era. At least Karin, who can forcibly rub out this steam core with his hands, is far inferior to him.

Karin looked at this quadruped robot, and immediately felt inspirations bursting out in his mind, and he went directly back to the virtual kingdom of God, studying the structure of this machine with great interest.

I also conduct some experiments on the alchemy table from time to time, trying to analyze the effect of some unknown magic circles inside the quadruped robot.

While he was studying the quadruped robot, Emiya followed behind the quadruped robot like a shadow.

Her speed and resistance are much stronger than that of the banyan tree, whose level is the instructor level. In this harsh environment, she can last at least three days before her body becomes exhausted.

Walking all the way, time passed unconsciously.

Amy Ya was unmoved by the raging wind and snow.

She followed the quadruped robot across plains, hills and other terrain, and even crossed a frozen river, and finally followed it into a valley after a whole day.

Just when Emiya was wondering what the quadruped robot was going to do, she sensed a burst of detection waves from the other party.

Immediately afterwards, the quadruped robot seemed to have detected something, and stopped suddenly after walking for a while. The main body began to deform with a sound of crunching metal rotation, and a huge digging shovel extended from its head.

Emiya realized something, and she also radiated her spirituality to perceive things below the snow under her feet.

Soon she sensed a large coal mine, this valley is an open-pit coal mine, and the grade is not low.

At this time, the four-legged robot suddenly emitted fiery waves, and the snow within ten meters around it began to melt rapidly, revealing a dark coal seam soon.

Immediately after the digging shovel began to dig, a hole was suddenly opened on the back of the main body, directly connected to the space cargo hold, and a basket full of coal mines was directly thrown into the hole.

Emiya just quietly watched the efficient mining of the quadruped robot.

The quadruped robot will not stay in the same place for too long. After digging a few shovels, it will dig in another place.

In addition to excavating a large number of coal mines every time, a high-value associated mine-inkstone can also be dug.

Inkstone, like coal mines, is an energy mineral, and is generally associated with coal mines.

The energy contained in a unit volume of graphite is more than 700 times that of coal. It is stable in nature and has a high ignition point. It can only burn and release energy under specific high pressure and high temperature. It is a perfect fossil fuel.

However, in the Sixth Epoch, black stone is usually used as a raw material for making energy crystals, and is not directly used as fuel, so as to maximize its value and ensure that energy is not wasted.

Karin is not too clear about the situation of Moshi in the Second Era.

However, in this era when there is no sage path, Karin estimates that inkstone may be directly burned as a fossil fuel like coal, and at least half of the energy will be wasted.

The work efficiency of the quadruped robot is very high. In just half a day, the space cargo hold of [-] cubic meters was filled, and a total of nearly [-] tons of coal and [-] tons of black stone were collected.

The quadruped robot with its full cargo hold contentedly put away its digging shovel, and left the valley with its clumsy and high-speed steps.

Emiya immediately followed closely behind the quadruped robot, walking along the snowy road it stepped on.

The four-legged robot came from nowhere, and its footsteps on the snow were extremely firm, and Karin didn't know where it was going.
