Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

Although it had no facial features to express emotions, Lind could clearly feel the puppet's shock at this moment.

"You just said... transform the Chaos Magic Rock?" After a long silence, the puppet confirmed in a calm tone.

"Yes."

"all?"

"Correct."

"Myself?"

"What else? You're the only one here who knows how to operate this machine."

Linde spread his hands and said as a matter of course. After confirming once again that Linde was not joking, the puppet turned his head and looked at the Chaos Magic Rock piled outside the workshop.

Under the suppression of the war nuns' runes soaked in holy water, the purple-black chaos magic stones were piled up like a small mountain.

"You are kidding me!" The puppet was immediately furious. "So many stones! It will take at least a month to turn them all into magic crystals!"

"Then please cheer up, I will arrange food and accommodation for you."

"That's not the question!" the puppet shouted angrily. "This is different from what we agreed on!"

"What's different?" Linde pretended to be surprised. "Didn't you promise me that you would transform all the Chaos Magic Rocks? And I can't do anything about it. After all, our people can't get close to the Chaos Magic Rocks, and we can't resist the Whisper of Chaos like you can. You have to do it yourself."

"Don't you have a way to touch these stones? Use that ghostly rune and that suspicious water. If that doesn't work, can't you use those tough women to do it?" The puppet protested loudly, and his voice was quite loud. The war nuns outside heard the puppet calling the sacred runes ghostly runes, and they were immediately excited. They almost rushed in to pull the puppet out and purify it.

"That's right! Aren't you the same?!" Then, the puppet realized that Lind was just like him, able to ignore Chaos' whispers. "Why don't I teach you how to do it?!"

"That won't work." Linde smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Why not!?"

"I am a barbarian. I won't understand even if you teach me." Lind repeated the puppet's previous teasing words to him.

The puppet's body trembled slightly.

"Okay, it's just a joke." Linde stopped trying to provoke the puppet. "How about this, you teach my people how to operate the machine, and you can leave when you've taught them. Before you teach them, can you help operate it and make the magic crystal for us?"

"That's fine..." The puppet thought about it and agreed to the request. "But you have to promise me! This is the last time I'll add conditions! After I teach your people how to operate the machine, you must let me go! If you don't agree, I'd rather let those crazy women outside smash me to pieces!"

Without being taught, the puppet automatically understood the nickname of the war nuns: crazy women.

"I promise you with my character that I will let you go as soon as you teach our people." Lind nodded and promised like the puppet.

After getting the puppet's promise and teaching others how to operate the machine, Lind asked the puppet what he needed, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. The puppet said that he didn't need anything, just build a house or tent for him here, and don't disturb him at other times.

After the discussion, Lind walked out of the workshop, leaving the puppet alone inside to continue working hard.

"Well, at the current production efficiency, it will take at least a month for all the Chaos Magic Rocks here to be converted into Magic Crystals." Lind said to the people outside. "Madam, I don't know much about magic. How many of each type of Magic Crystal do you think should be produced?"

"Hmm..." Ilufa had not yet completely recovered from the shock of the Chaos Magic Rock being transformed into Magic Crystals. After hearing Lind's words, he lowered his head and thought for a while. "Can that machine only produce Magic Crystals of the four attributes of Earth, Fire, Wind and Water?"

"Yes, I have confirmed it." Lind nodded. "The puppet said that this device can only produce magic crystals with these four properties."

Theoretically, the types of magic crystals are the same as the number of magic attributes. There are as many magic crystals as there are magic attributes. The four attributes of earth, fire, wind and water are the most common, so magic crystals with these four attributes are also the most common, but it does not mean that there are only magic crystals with these four attributes.

"If we can only generate these four properties..." Illufa thought for a moment. "Then we should give priority to producing fire-attributed salamante. After all, whether it is iron smelting, brick burning, or cement burning, a large amount of salamante is needed."

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Linde nodded in agreement, then looked up and searched for someone in the crowd.

"Master Linus!" Soon, Lind found Linus Casso, a blacksmith who was born a magic craftsman, in the front position of the crowd.

"Sir, you called me?" Hearing Linde calling him, Linus was a little frightened. He ran out of the crowd, lowered his body, and looked at Linde humbly.

"Stand up straight." Linde said unhappily at first, and Linus, who was 1.7 meters taller than Linde, stood up straight immediately. "Didn't you say that you were short of magic crystals for your tools? Now you have them, how many do you need?"

"My Lord, my Lord, I..." Linus was flattered by the unexpected situation. Linde was willing to give such a precious magic crystal directly to him.

"Don't be so nervous." Seeing this, Lind patted Linus on the shoulder. "I was counting on you to help me build the steam engine."

"Sir, I..." From Linder's eyes, Linus could not see the arrogance of the nobles when they gave orders. There was only expectation, the expectation of equality. "Me! Me!"

"Calm down and talk slowly," Lind said soothingly. "I'm not going to eat you."

"Sir!" Linus mustered up his courage after Lind's encouragement. "I've overturned your plan!"

Chapter 324 No Need to Boil Water

What!? His design was overturned!? Hearing this, Linde's eyes widened, his face full of surprise.

Not only Linde, but everyone around who heard Linus' words opened their mouths wide enough to swallow a fist. Linus, as a serf, you dare to overturn the noble master's design. Are you always so brave! ? Don't you know that the noble master knows kung fu! ?

Without waiting for Lind to speak, Knight Winter, who was maintaining order nearby, had subconsciously drawn his sword, ready to teach this daring serf a lesson on respect and order, but was immediately stopped by Lind.

"You overturned my design?" Lind frowned and confirmed with the other party.

"Yes, yes." Linus did not sense anger from Linder's tone, but pure doubt, and he immediately became bolder. "I! Overturned! Your plan, sir."

"Oh?" Lind became interested. "Do you have the design drawings?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Of course!" Linus nodded excitedly. "I'll go get it for you right now!"

"No, I'll go with you." Linde waved his hand and followed Linus.

"You guys continue to maintain order here, I'll go take a look." Seeing Linde leave, Ilfa ordered, and then followed him with Elisa.

Soon, a group of four people arrived at Linus' residence next to the blacksmith shop.

As important technical talents in the camp, the two blacksmiths, Linus and Stanley, both have their own single residences, which are high-end apartments made of wood and stone, better than Lind's current tent.

As soon as he entered the house, Lind saw several wooden boards on the table that served as paper. Since there were no sheep, there was not enough parchment, so all the places in the camp that needed writing were now replaced by wooden boards and wood chips.

It’s time to learn papermaking, Linde thought.

"Sir! Please look! This is my newly designed steam engine!" Linus picked up a wooden board on the table and handed it to Lind like he was presenting a treasure.

Lind took the wooden board, and then Ilufa and Elisa's mother naturally came over from the left and right, sandwiching Lind in the middle, and looked at it together.

"Lower yourself, I can't see you." Since Linde is now 1.6 meters tall, taller than Alisa, Alisa asked Linde to lower himself.

Looking at the lady and the young lady, who were sandwiched between Linder on the left and right, and were so intimate, Linus couldn't help but think of a rumor in the camp.

Forget it. It’s not my place as a serf to interfere in the affairs of the noble lord.

"...Interesting." After looking at it for a while, Lind said thoughtfully.

"It's very detailed," Alisa commented. "The dimensions of each component are written in great detail, much more accurate than your so-called design drawing."

"I, that's a schematic diagram. I'm a doctor, not an engineer. I can only draw to that extent."

"Doctor? Aren't you a knight's squire, Little Linde?"

The mother and the two Garinds had a lively discussion about Linus's design, although the topic of the discussion went a little off track.

Compared with Linder's design, Linus's design is much more detailed. It is no longer a simple schematic diagram, but a design with detailed parameters. There is not only an overall design, but also a split part of each component.

The more Linde looked, the more amazed he was. He didn't expect to see such professional mechanical design drawings here.

but……

"This seems to be different from the steam engine I designed." Linde soon discovered the problem.

"It is like this, sir. I made a few minor modifications to your original design," Linus said modestly.

A little modification! ? Linde's tactics fell back, and even the boiler was gone. This is considered a little modification! ?

Compared with Lind's original design, the design in front of me cannot be said to be exactly the same, but at least it can be said to be completely different. Is this still the steam engine I designed! ?

Before Lind traveled through time, he was a doctor and a repairman of people, not machines. Therefore, it is impossible for him to remember the details of the steam engine so clearly, but he remembered the principle of the steam engine and the reciprocating motion. With a little reasoning along the line of thought, he was able to figure it out roughly.

Boiler, cylinder, piston, sliding valve, crankshaft, etc. Once you know the principles, you can roughly draw a schematic diagram after a little exploration.

But what happened to Linus's improved version? The cylinder was gone, the slide valve was gone, and the only things that were originally on his schematic were the piston, connecting rod, and crankshaft. Was this still the steam engine he designed?

Where is the place to boil water?!

Linus sensed Lind's surprise, or perhaps anger, and quickly explained, "Sir! Please listen to my explanation!"

"I'm listening." Linde looked at Linus with some displeasure. If the other party didn't give him an explanation, he would really let him know what the anger of a noble lord was.

"That's right." Linus explained with a cold sweat. "Your original design, sir, was to use the huge force generated by the expansion of water when it boils and turns into steam to complete the work. This is a very genius design. Your wisdom amazes me."

"But please forgive me for being blunt. Your design is impossible to realize, at least on the island of Ivozhen." Linus said carefully, trying not to offend the noble. "This is not only a problem of processing accuracy, but also a problem of materials."

"First, there is the problem of piston lubrication. The cylinder and piston need to be tightly sealed to prevent water vapor from leaking out. However, if this is done, the metal parts will be in close contact. Under the huge force, the piston will be severely worn out in a short time and cannot be used any more."

"Then there is the problem of the material of the cylinder. Ordinary iron cannot withstand such huge steam pressure and will explode easily. It is very dangerous."

Linus chose his words and sentences very carefully, carefully expressing his thoughts and the problems he had in mind, for fear that the master in front of him would be unhappy and pull him out and kill him with a sword.

I'm not exaggerating, noble lords would really do such a thing. One of Linus's colleagues died in this way.

But soon, Linus discovered that Lind's unhappiness quickly disappeared completely, and was replaced by... Linus didn't know how to describe Lind's expression.

"You said it very well." Linde looked at Linus excitedly with an expression that said "shipping!" "So how do you want to solve these problems?"

"That's my idea." Linus swallowed. "Get rid of the boiler! No need to boil water! Instead, use magic runes to do the same thing!"

Chapter 325: The Dawn of the Magic Industry

In the world before Lind traveled through time, humans had developed for thousands of years since the birth of civilization, but for most of the time, development was very slow, both in terms of population size and productivity levels.

The speed of civilization development is like a gentle curve, growing slowly until one day, productivity leaps forward, which is the Industrial Revolution.

The explosion of the Industrial Revolution has brought about earth-shaking changes in human civilization in just three hundred years. It is no exaggeration to say that the development in these three hundred years has surpassed the total of millions of years since the birth of mankind.

There are many conditions for triggering the Industrial Revolution, but there is no doubt that one of the most core conditions is a universal, replaceable, and universal power device that can provide power far beyond the capabilities of human and animal power.

So Linde wanted to develop a steam engine.

Then it was changed beyond recognition by the locals in front of it.

At first, when Linde saw this so-called improved steam engine that didn't even have a boiler, he almost subconsciously stabbed Linus and did what the nobles in this world should do. This is not an exaggeration. A craftsman who dared to deny the noble master's plan would at least be whipped.

But in the end, Lind was able to control his emotions because what the other party said was indeed true, and he also mentioned a very crucial point.

The power of magic.

He wanted to use the power of magic to make up for the flaws in his design and bypass the limitations of materials.

Linde had indeed thought about using the power of magic to achieve overtaking, but he had no knowledge in this area. Now that Linus had taken the initiative to bring it up, Linde planned to listen carefully.

"Here's what I think." Seeing that Linder was not angry, but had an abnormal excitement on his face, Linus boldly continued to explain his thoughts. "Sir, your original design, the sealing and wear are difficult to overcome, at least there is no way to solve it on this isolated island. In this case, I want to change the power source."

"Instead of boiling water to form steam, use this!" Linus took out a piece of wood with a magic rune painted on it from the side, as if he was presenting a treasure.

"Is this... the Hand of Shaping?" Elisa took a look and said uncertainly.

"Yes! It's the earth-based point-level magic! Hand of Shaping!" Linus nodded vigorously.

Hand of Shaping? Linde recalled the details of this magic. It was considered an entry-level magic for magicians. Basically, any magic apprentice could learn it. Simply put, the effect was to grab objects from a distance.

Linde often sees this kind of magic. For example, when working, Elisa uses this magic to take things through the air, and Lady Illufa even uses this magic to break the Salamandra into pieces.

"How do you plan to use this magic to replace water vapor?" Linde touched his chin, thinking, as if he had caught something, but also as if he hadn't.

"That's right." Linus continued. "The so-called Shaping Hand, in essence, is to apply a force to an object from a certain direction. Since your design only requires applying force back and forth in two directions, then..."

"I understand!" After saying this, Lind instantly understood the other person's thoughts and excitedly grabbed the other person's hand. "You are truly a genius!"

"No, no, no." Linus panicked after being praised so suddenly, and he stammered and couldn't speak.

"No! You are a genius!" Linde gave Linus a fierce hug, ignoring the ecstatic body odor on his body. "In this way, the problems of wear and tear and strength can be solved!"

Seeing Linde's sudden realization, Alyssa was confused again. Looking at her mother's thoughtful expression, Alyssa felt like she was being pressed to the ground again.

"My dear sir, could you please explain it to stupid me?" Elisa, who was kept in the dark, shouted with resentment.

"Of course! And you're not stupid!" Linde said excitedly, then grabbed Alyssa's hand and pulled her over.

Linde was very excited and his movements were a little intense, but Alyssa didn't say anything, only an unnatural blush flashed across her face.

"Come and see!" After pulling Alisa over, Lind excitedly pointed at the design and said, "Do you see this cylinder? I originally designed it to be propelled by steam, but it was difficult to implement due to airtightness and wear. So Linus's solution is to install a magic rune of the hand of shaping on each side of the cylinder, and use the hand of shaping to pull the piston to move!"

"You can imagine that there are two hands pulling the piston to move. In this way, there is no need for a tight seal. As for lubrication, it can be solved in the same way. Use the hand of plasticity to suspend the piston in the center! Just like magnetic levitation!"

"magnetic levitation?"

"It's floating right in the middle! It has no contact with the cylinder... it should be called the magic cylinder! So there's no problem with lubrication or wear!"
