Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 28 The Industrial Revolution, but the Magical Side

"I did it!!"

Allen's voice carried all the way to the council chamber.

The cabinet ministers working in the council chamber were all taken aback.

Then Allen slammed a drawing and a report onto the table, crossed his arms, and looked like he was saying, "Praise me!"

"Dean, what are you doing?"

The ministers stepped forward curiously, and upon seeing the detailed blueprints and the contents of the report, they all jumped up excitedly.

"Dean Allen! You're my hero!"

"That's right! You are my hero!"

"Dean Allen, please accept my bow!"

Amidst the constant compliments, Allen's smile grew wider and wider.

Without him,

Because this invention is Allen's best response to all the doubts!

"Gentlemen, would you be willing to join Allen to see this groundbreaking invention?"

"That's only natural!"

The group followed with laughter, completely unconcerned about Allen's "arrogance".

Because Allen's "arrogance" at this moment is well-deserved!

……

When Caitlin returned from the Shadow Star with Edward and Caesar, they encountered a messenger who had come to report on the situation.

"Regent! This is Dean Allen's report. Dean Allen has successfully developed the steam engine!"

"A steam engine?"

Caitlin paused for a moment.

Norman had mentioned this to her before, but she was studying tactics at the time and didn't pay attention.

It seems to be some kind of revolutionary tool that can move on its own and release heat, a creation that can usher in a new era.

Norman had tried many times with the Science and Technology Bureau without success, and Caitlin thought it was just one of Norman's wild ideas, so she didn't take it seriously.

Now you're telling me you've made it?

How did you do that?

Caitlin took the report, but she didn't quite understand the technical details; she only looked at the final result.

The reason this was successful was due to the additional effect of the fire magic. The steam generated by the fire magic when it was released inside the pipes directly propelled the piston of the machine.

The kinetic energy released is hundreds of times greater than that of human power!

Moreover, because the core element is magic, it allows for better control over the size and temperature of the flames.

The several difficulties that Allen had been unable to overcome before were all resolved in an instant.

Moreover, Allen discovered that the problems that had previously stumped him were actually quite simple!

It was precisely because this "simple" problem was solved that Allen was overjoyed but also found it somewhat amusing, which is why his laughter seemed like that of a madman.

"Magic and technology combined? Like that alchemy equipment assembly line? Prime Minister Edward, are you aware of it?"

"This matter has been reported, and as His Majesty instructed, the funds have never been interrupted."

"Then let's go take a look."

Caitlin nodded and led the two to the Science and Technology Bureau, only to find that Allen had already arrived with a group of cabinet ministers to test the steam engine.

"Look, gentlemen, this is the steam engine! The pressure of the steam moves the piston forward, thereby generating mechanical energy. This process is what Your Majesty calls 'the expansion of steam'!"

"The movement of pistons can be used to drive mechanical equipment, and can replace wildebeest to drive carriages! It can replace wind power to drive windmills at all times! It can replace water flow to drive watermills!"

"It's more than twice as efficient as manpower, and more than everything we're capable of right now!"

"And it doesn't require constant work; only maintenance and parts replacement are needed! This is what His Majesty often refers to as the first step in liberating manpower!"

Allen spoke with great passion and enthusiasm.

The ministers listened attentively, showering the ministers with praise and compliments.

Because they all knew what this represented, and they all knew what the invention of the steam engine could bring!

Edward stepped forward and, after seeing the machine's demonstration, immediately raised a question.

"Lord Allen, I remember His Majesty saying that a steam engine could be fitted with pistons to generate more power through gears and parts, and could even be improved into... an internal combustion engine? Is that possible?"

Hearing this, Allen raised an eyebrow and said excitedly, "Of course! You know quite a lot, you are...!"

Allen turned around as he spoke, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister! Greetings, Regent! Greetings, General!"

Allen promptly bowed in greeting.

Meanwhile, the ministers standing to the side had already bowed.

Allen couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this.

"Can I try it now?" Caitlin asked, waving her hand.

After seeing the actual product, she became curious and wanted to see if it could be improved or enhanced.

If improvements can be made, many, many things can be accomplished.

"sure!"

Allen nodded vigorously, then turned to the other side and had someone pull out a bunch of parts and a modified main body.

Look!

"After completing the steam engine, I began to work on the internal combustion engine that Your Majesty mentioned."

"The principle of the internal combustion engine is the same as that of the steam engine. His Majesty said that the reason why the internal combustion engine is more powerful than the steam engine is mainly due to the fuel and structural issues of the internal combustion engine."

"Steam engines, powered by steam, have limited capacity to generate heat and pressure, while internal combustion engines, with upgraded fuels, can generate more heat and pressure, pushing more pistons and producing more kinetic energy!"

"If it were us in the past, we would have been unable to meet the standards in a short period of time due to limitations in smelting technology when we reached this stage of research."

"But now we use magic! In the hands of a fire mage, a level three fire magic circle is enough to reach 3000 degrees Celsius! This is the highest temperature that His Majesty said fire can reach!"

"With this temperature, we have successfully achieved a major leap forward in smelting technology!"

Allen excitedly explained the achievements of the past year.

No one interrupted him. Even those who didn't understand what he was saying listened attentively and wrote it down, creating corresponding policies for each specific characteristic.

"very good!"

Once Alan stopped, Caitlin excitedly announced, "We're now ramping up research and development, gathering feedback nationwide, and will begin production immediately once successful!"

"Yes, sir!"

The ministers received their orders and withdrew to begin their new tasks.

The entire Black Kingdom departed, and with the added advantages of magic and population, a vigorous industrial revolution unfolded throughout the country.

With the widespread adoption of steam engines, the already extraordinary Black Kingdom unleashed a shocking power in an instant!

Steam equipment was instantly deployed, spreading from the Black Throne throughout the north and mountainous regions, while simultaneously heading towards the southern river basin.

As the magical industrial revolution began, new ideas were also slowly taking shape...
