Transcendent Journey

To

“Everyone has it, prepare!

Open the gas valve and fill in steam, all units pay attention to the pressure gauge…”

哧——!

In the grassy shooting range on the outskirts of the capital of Falitis, Bekele, a group of soldiers with metal cans on their backs and some strange firearms lined up facing the target.

The commander swung the command knife vigorously and let out a loud shout:

“Launch!”

Bang! boom! boom! ….

The high-pressure steam rushed out, pushing the hot metal storm out, and in the blink of an eye, the first group target in front of it was directly torn into pieces.

“Shoot again!”

The soldier was ordered to pull a locking structure on the gun in his hand and pushed the cone-shaped projectile into the magazine. The whole process took less than a second, and then pulled the trigger again.

“Shoot again!”

Although this “steam gun” is far more bulky than normal flintlocks, the benefits are obvious.

As long as it is preheated in advance and the pressure provided by the steam pressure tank is still up to standard, it can continue to launch without cumbersome filling of gunpowder and projectiles.

pa! pa! pa! ….

Next to the shooting range, a group of distinguished spectators could not help but applaud slightly when they saw the performance of this new weapon that has been finalized.

“The premise is not to encounter a sudden encounter in the wild, and there is no time to make the necessary steam.

This kind of [high-pressure steam gun] should have a wide range of application prospects in urban defense work that can provide logistical support. Especially when dealing with ‘those things’, intensive firepower is the only reliance of ordinary soldiers. “

Standing at the forefront of the team, Ivan, wearing a military uniform with a big waist and hip saber, gave him a positive affirmation.

At this time.

Time has come to the autumn of 196 Haiyuan calendar. It has been three years since the last time Ivan and them landed on the moon.

This time is also a routine visit and technical exchange between the Grand Duke of Garrett and his wife Olivia.

Except for the “Steam and Machinery Cult”, “Alchemy School” and the entourage of the two countries.

Wearing a red palace dress, Your Majesty, the queen who looks like a gorgeous red rose, will accompany you throughout the whole journey. With a white dress of the same style, Olivia, who looks like a white rose, will hold hands intimately.

Just like a pair of beautiful sisters.

Even in this kind of diplomatic occasions, they still talked and laughed, and it is clear that the relationship has improved a lot in the past three years.

The autumn wind blows.

The corners of the two ladies’ exquisite skirts are flying, and it is vaguely visible that their straight and slender legs are wrapped in shiny thin silk stockings.

Livina is charming black, Olivia is clean and pure white.

Leading the trend by these two almost noble women in the material world, just like the original tulip trend, stockings have become a fashion among the powerful and even the middle class and above.

Unexpectedly, it became Duchy’s just-started “oil industry”, a popular export product, and this high-end female product is more valuable than gold of equal weight.

During these three years.

As high-level transcenders, they can’t see the slightest change in appearance, but the changes in the common world are profound and unnoticeable influence.

In the eyes of mortals that are difficult to adapt, the entire world is like being fitted with an accelerator, which changes every day.

The “high-pressure steam guns” that are being tested and finalized, and the ten “high-pressure steam cannons” pushed up by the soldiers are just a small part of them.

[Watt III military steam engine] Let “steam” become an easily available and powerful convenient energy source, and the first application scenario is armaments.

“Start [Analysis Machine]!”

A middle age person wearing a monocle and a little sloppy came out from the crowd, directing a group of [steammasters] to get busy next to the huge machinery set up nearby.

The middle age person named Charles Bar Beck was busy, and they excitedly introduced their latest invention to Ivan:

“Two respected Your Majesty.

This machine surpasses all previous ‘differential engine’ models in terms of possible calculation range, simplicity, reliability and accuracy, or automation.

It is already a brand new great invention! The firepower table calculation at this time will prove this! “

With the gradual development of guns and the era of front-mounted smoothbore guns that were originally metaphysical hits, their ballistic calculations and firepower meter tests have become increasingly important.

A regular firepower meter requires 3000 different ballistic parameters.

As far as a single parameter is concerned, a trajectory with a flight time of 60 seconds can put an ordinary person directly on the ground, because that is a horrible workload that takes at least 20 hours!

Although the brain power of high-level transcenders is enough to easily deal with this kind of work, [steam division] and normal military personnel urgently need a calculation tool that can shorten this complicated ballistic parameter calculation to seconds.

And it must be universal and be able to be promoted throughout the military, so that the overwhelming majority work on the front line can also be used by ordinary persons.

This Mr. Beck, although not a powerful wizard, is just a wizard apprentice with a “construction branch”.

However, a series of “mathematical computers” developed by him is the one that best meets the needs of the military.

This brand-new design is about 30 meters long and 10 meters wide. The whole body is made of brass. Beck calls it an “analysis machine”.

It can automatically solve complex arithmetic problems with 100 variables, each variable can have up to 25 digits, and the calculation speed can reach an astonishing 100 times per second.

From Ivan’s eyes, the pioneering nature of the “Analytical Machine” lies in:

This is the first “universal computer” with basic components such as arithmetic unit, memory, controller, input and output device in the history of the fifth era!

In this new design, he also creatively proposed the concept of automatically formulating instruction sequences, so that the “analyzer” can run from the previous step to the next without human assistance.

Relying on this “computing machine”, the Beck breakthrough official wizard has no obstacles.

哐哐哐…

As the steam engine drives the transmission device to start running, the precision brass gears roll like a ball, making a sweet sound of “tick-to-tick”.

With the input and output of the punched paper card, a bunch of data that requires a few days of calculation by civilian staff is being generated quickly.

Look at this “analysis machine” that is constantly operating under the impetus of a steam engine.

Ivan was lightly nodded.

Well, there is something inside.

If three years ago, it was only a rudimentary form, but now after three years, this World seems to have completely entered the “steampunk age”.

And progress is not only the Tulip Alliance, but the genius is by no means confined to one country or one family. As other countries on the continent are catching up, it means a lot of flowers bloom.

This also reminded Ivan of a concept that he had just added to his “advanced chemistry theory”-“weak compensation”.

That is to say, the survival intensity (the tenacity of survival) of all living creatures in the world always shows a downward trend, and one generation will be weaker than one generation is “gradually weaker.”

Therefore, if these creatures want to survive, they have to continuously look for more supporting factors. This supporting factor is “compensation.”

It is the same as the status quo of the material world.

As the era shifts, the power of transcendent creatures diminishes. The more “evolved” human beings are, the weaker the individual strength and the greater the number, the more it requires collective division of labor and cooperation.

“Compensation for weakening” is applied to modern humans, transcendent power is “weakening”, and science is “compensation”.

“Oh, this is the biggest trend that has crossed many epochs in this world!”

Of course.

If there is any defect in the rapid progress of technology, it is probably the dense smoke that looms over Becquer at this time.

This is the throes of industrial development, even Mennon Watt, the “god of steam and machinery” who has successfully condensed [the priesthood], can’t change it.

Also because of the increasingly harsh environment.

Now Livina, Queen Your Majesty, has a large part of her free time spent in the White Swan Castle that has undergone another round of expansion.

In White Swan Castle, she has her own room, maid team, cloakroom… and even the wine cellar, where she is just like her own home.

Compared with Bekele at this time, Long Island with beautiful scenery and pleasant environment is simply paradise.

In addition, Ivan couldn’t help begging, using the power of [Divine Creature] and the crowned wizard, to establish a permanent Transmission Gate in her room at St. James’s Palace, allowing her to move freely. .

At this moment.

Whoops——!

A huge “rigid airship” dangles a black shadow, flying over the crowd to the depths of the shooting range.

“Hersie, haven’t you seen this new thing? When the test is over, we will go sit in a circle together.”

“Okay, Wella elder sister.”

Two women who have been in space are still feeling novel about this simple in-atmospheric spacecraft.

Ivan’s [Demon Eyes], it has already been seen at a glance.

This airship has a rigid hollow copper tube frame, composed of a longitudinal girder on the abdomen, 24 long pestles and 16 frames.

A large number of vertical and horizontal cables are used to enhance the structural strength.

The hull structure is covered with a skin made of tarpaulin, and there are 17 airbags inside the boat, with a total volume of 12,000 cubic meters and a total buoyancy of 13 tons.

Because the improved multi-airbag design can also play a role similar to the ship’s water barrier, even one or two damages will not affect the flight, which greatly improves the safety of the flight.

Using steam power, the visual flight speed can reach 24 kilometers per hour, which is enough for actual combat, provided that you do not encounter anti-aircraft guns.

“Everyone has it, prepare!”

After the calculation of the firepower meter by the “analyzer”, the [high-pressure steam guns] that were in the test stage adjusted their muzzle to point at the huge living target that was put down by the airship ten kilometers away.

It was a Great Demon monster with a body length of more than five meters and a scaly scaly like a super-giant crocodile.

And different from monsters in the conventional sense, this “crocodile” is not only huge, with sharp horns on its head, but also a strong smell of sulfur.

Even though it was tightly bound by the enchanted wire rope, hot lava spurted out continuously in the nasal cavity.

This is a “demon-like” transformed by a higher-level monster, and it is also an acquired demon based on material world creatures.

is also the key to the rapid launch of the [High Pressure Steam Gun] and [High Pressure Steam Cannon] projects to equip the army.

Three years ago.

Solomon’s so-called “chaos is here” in his letter illustrates the most fundamental problem that Ivan has not yet adapted to an immortal’s concept of time.

The previous period has been calm and tranquil. After three years of brewing, it is only recently that some signs of turmoil have gradually appeared in the material world.

Mainly because those cunning Demon Gods who came to the material world for “life”, want to break through the barrier of the boundary, they impossible to carry too much power.

Even if success comes, it will be carefully hidden and used for tens of hundreds of years to grow slowly.

Of course, there are also courageous ones. They have already started poaching to obtain humans, and even continue to confuse people who were originally humans and are now monsters.

As the strongest human union to suppress the material world, the “Tulip Alliance” has the most expansive land and rules the most population. This is also a problem that Ivan and Livina have to face now.

“Fire!”

bang! bang! bang!…

Two rounds of rapid fire, carrying a huge kinetic energy shell, easily tore the equivalent to third rank “crocodile monster” to pieces.

[High Pressure Steam Cannon] Both the rate of fire and the formidable power must be far higher than the conventional shipborne artillery of the current sailing battleship, and it can be said that the future can be expected.

At the end of the test, Livina turned her head, somewhat anticipating:

“Ivan, Hersie, should you take out the good things that you told me before to deal with Demon God?”
