Continue to deal with subsequent issues.
Among them is senior Josh, who has agreed to join their camp in the future, and the subsequent salary after graduation has been negotiated.
However, his research is still difficult to achieve.
For example, in the most realistic case, can the ice element in the snow and ice be easily transformed into the fire element?
Transform? Yes, but it requires mana to be consumed.
Where does magic power come from? Magic cores, magic crystals, natural magic stones, and magic storage items are all possible, but without exception, they are not affordable for ordinary people.
And the problem is, I already have magic power, can't I just generate fire elements and make a fire?
My current research is to save the magic power consumption of conversion by making magic props, at least to ensure that it is lower than the consumption of magic power directly generating fire elements. This, combined with props that slowly store magic power, can also better transform elements.
In this way, it can basically meet the needs of civilians. For example, in winter, civilians in our kingdom can keep warm without burning firewood. We can continue to optimize it, reduce costs and increase efficiency. Although we can't maintain it all day long, we can at least guarantee heating at night.
But the rapid transformation of elements that you guys want, I feel like it's still not possible, or the efficiency is negative.
Josh stated his problem with some embarrassment.
It seems that I can make something for civilian use, and it has been very successful so far. If I continue to study, I will definitely be able to make very good civilian element conversions, which can achieve heating in winter and cooling in summer.
Simply put, he is the person who invented air conditioning and heating.
He may not be the first, nor may he want to be the first person to reduce costs to an extremely low level and improve efficiency for civilian use.
But he must be lucky enough to meet people like Su Lian on this basis, who are willing to fund him to do such meaningless things.
because.
To do this, you first need a magician who has alchemy and other related knowledge, and few noble magicians in this world would do this for the common people. In some people's eyes, the common people are even the so-called untouchables.
Even if there is, few people can afford the time and money required for research and development.
The world is so big, with more than a hundred countries and regions, there must be a magician who happens to be rich and has such ideas, right?
Okay, now that it's developed, who's going to popularize it?
The production process still requires magicians, which is the labor cost; if magic props are produced, then material costs are naturally required.
It was hard to produce, but with this kind of cost, even if it is sold at the most affordable low-profit price, how many ordinary people can afford to buy it?
Anyone with a little money can afford to buy a lot of firewood, or even use the rechargeable magic props directly. Why would they buy your complicated new gadget?
High-end?
That's even more embarrassing. Those who are richer might just hire someone to set up a magic circle at home, or even be able to afford a magician themselves. Why would they need yours?
Therefore, this magic element conversion is really useless in this world.
Magicians themselves don't need it, common people can't afford it, the middle class doesn't like it, and the rich don't like it.
Come here. Su Lian did not answer Qiao Xi directly, but motioned him to follow.
Qiao Xi was a little confused, but still followed Su Lian to the cafeteria of the military factory.
Su Lian went straight to the kitchen and boiled a pot of water under Qiao Xi's puzzled look.
What is this for?
Use the fire element to help heat it up. Su Lian said.
Oh. Josh used fire magic himself to speed up the boiling process of a large pot of water.
Su Lian picked up a carrot and threw it on Qiao Xi's arm.
Does it hurt? Su Lian asked.
A little bit. If it was a stone, it would be more painful. Qiao Xi still didn't quite understand what Su Lian wanted to say.
Then why do you think it hurts? It's obviously not an elemental fighting spirit or magic attack, so how could it have the power to cause you pain? Su Lian asked.
This... Qiao Xi's mind froze for a moment, and the fire magic in his hand became a little unstable.
Pay attention to the heating. Su Lian threw another radish head.
Oh oh. Josh quickly steadied himself.
Remember, Senior Qiao Xi, what I tell you now, you are not allowed to tell anyone else without my permission, including the researchers under you in the future. Su Lian said, pointing at Qiao Xi while holding a carrot.
Yeah, you go ahead, junior. Qiao Xi nodded repeatedly.
In his mind, he has begun to think of many divergent guesses!
Because of the existence of elements in our world, the first thing anyone thinks of relying on is condensed fighting spirit and magical power, especially when these two powers are at their peak and can reach the level of destroying the world.
Therefore, people tend to overlook another kind of power that has always existed in our lives and has been used but ignored.
Pure physical force.
Su Lian moved the carrot in his hand and made a gesture as if to throw it.
Throwing objects, ordinary punches and kicks, and the power of swinging weapons? Josh quickly understood.
Yes, in terms of weapons, this kind of power is best used. Do you know what it is now? Su Lian asked.
Throwing weapons? Josh gave an uncertain answer.
Yes, traditional catapults and archers in any army have actually been using this power, but why has no one noticed it? Su Lian asked.
Because this is already very common in life, just like people need to eat and drink water, it is something that is used in daily life. It's just that the catapult and bow and arrow have slightly expanded the application mode. Josh said quickly.
I have to say, as a researcher, his thinking is really flexible and changeable.
That's right, it's a power that is so common that it is often overlooked. Su Lian also sighed slightly.
Previous life.
Bows and arrows, catapults, and other basic kinetic weapons were invented a long time ago, but they were not truly put to use until thousands of years later.
Not to mention that in this world of magic and fighting, there is also elemental power that is far stronger than kinetic energy. Who would pay attention to this small amount of kinetic energy?
Therefore, Su Lian understood very well why the world, even now, has not realized the limits of the power of kinetic energy.
Because of magic and fighting spirit, things like elemental power are so powerful!
Let's call these moving, physical forces physical energy or kinetic energy, Su Lian said simply.
Kinetic energy, keep it simple, Josh said.
Su Lian smiled. Even though he had deliberately given another name, Qiao Xi still chose the word kinetic energy.
The water is boiling, put the lid on the pot. Su Lian suddenly changed the subject.
Oh. Josh didn't know why, but he did it anyway.
Because he used fire magic to assist in heating, the large pot of water boiled quickly. Even after the fire magic was removed, the flame underneath was still burning to make it boil.
Bang, bang, bang
The steam kept pushing against the lid, and the collision of metal made such a sound.
Qiao Xi looked at Su Lian, then at the lid of the pot lifted up by the steam, and seemed to understand something.
Seeing this, Su Lian asked directly.
No one moved the lid. What force gave it 'kinetic energy' at this time? Su Lian asked.
Although he knew that this should be called mechanical energy, since the world did not have such a definition yet, he used this instead for the time being.
It's... the flame burning below, the elemental power of fire. Qiao Xi's expression gradually became clear!
He seemed to have seen something!
Did you use any special magic props? Su Lian.
No. Josh.
Did you use any additional magic power to drive it? Su Lian.
No. Josh.
Then what is used? Su Lian asked finally.
Firewood, the fire element produced by the burning of firewood alone, and the kinetic energy provided by its continuous transformation! Qiao Xi's tone gradually became excited.
Su Lian smiled with relief.
This is the result we want.
He also put down the carrot in his hand, and used magic to control the discarded carrot head and threw it over to the garbage dump.
Although I don't know the details of your research and I don't know the specific content, I hope this revelation can help you.
Go back and continue your research. You will become a great inventor who will go down in history in the future.
I'm optimistic about you.
Su Lian patted Qiao Xi's shoulder from the side and spoke in a serious tone.
Master Lian, I will go back and study it now! Qiao Xi said solemnly, turned around and ran out of the kitchen excitedly!
Now, there are many divergent thoughts in his heart, which need him to experiment and explore one by one!
You don't need to change the way you address me, right? Su Lian touched his nose a little embarrassedly.
Honestly, although in Josh's eyes it was he who gave the hint, he still felt a little ashamed of himself for plagiarizing the wisdom of his predecessors in previous lives.
But Lord Lian... I still prefer the title of Lord Su. Su Lian smiled to himself.
Satisfied, he left the kitchen, leaving behind a pot of boiling water, which brought confusion to the chefs who entered the kitchen later.
Later, he went to meet the other seniors he had abducted from the college, helped them solve some problems, or simply chatted with them to enhance some relationships. After that, he left the military factory with satisfaction and took away some of the nostalgics in stock.
Although Uncle Cam really wanted him to take them all away, after all, he always felt that these unstable things were time bombs, but it was obvious that if he took so many out from the battlefield, it would be strange if the military didn't get suspicious.
soThe rest will most likely be given to the bored guys in the Military Research Institute, who will then find an opportunity to use them as fireworks.
Or maybe fried fish?
Anyway, let Uncle Cam and the others take care of it, just don't hurt anyone.
