Chapter 143 The idea of the magic train
"What kind of idea?" Master Camille's shrill voice became louder.
Little Fatty Hilde once boasted that this Baron of Tartarus had many novel ideas.
Tonight, Master Kamil witnessed it with his own eyes.
Although the structure and principle of this two-wheeled vehicle were simple, he had never thought about it in this aspect.
Perhaps, always thinking about using magic devices as the core of mechanical objects prevents thinking from diverging.
Master Kamil already feels that he, and even other colleagues in the Alchemy Branch, have entered a cage of thinking, and everything is driven by magic devices as the core.
It is possible that Baron Tartarus can bring him new inspiration.
As soon as the words came out, Master Camille discovered another problem.
Baron Tartarus stood a little close to him.
This makes him very stressed.
After all, his height could only reach the baron's thighs.
"Well, don't get too close. I have to hold my head up so I can talk to you more easily. This makes me feel uncomfortable."
Here, there is no stool that can make him stand higher.
"Sorry." Alphonse took two steps back and cursed in his heart.
If you stay away from me, won't you raise your head? It's better if you don't look at me.
"I thought of a new type of transportation, how should I put it?" Alfons thought about his words, "It is a train that can place a magic power furnace at the front of the car and then connect it with many carriages. .”
"Train? This is a novel term." Master Kamil's big eyes showed a questioning look, "But I don't think it is a good idea to bring many carriages. You should also think about it. If the hanging carriages are too It’s knotty and steering is a big problem.”
As far as Master Kamil knows, only some carriages transporting large amounts of goods will be equipped with an extra carriage, but only one, which will also bring a heavy burden to the horses.
The power of the magic power furnace is sufficient, but if there are too many carriages hanging on it, any larger obstacles will cause the carriages behind it to overturn, causing damage.
"Then we need tracks to plan the train's path." Alphonse replied confidently.
"Orbit?" Master Kamil had doubts in his heart, "It's hard to explain clearly just by talking about it. Let's go to the magic tower and you can draw it and see!"
After saying that, Master Camille took off his short legs and ran towards the magic tower.
Alphonse followed immediately.
Fortunately, it also left Hilde and Croy some time alone.
The opportunity was given to him, and it was up to him whether he could seize it or not.
Back on the fourth floor, Alphonse picked up a pen and paper and quickly drew a drawing based on the impression in his mind.
I also specially drew an enlarged storyboard of the wheel style and the grooved track.
Master Camille stood on a bench nearby, watching Alphonse paint. His right hand clenched into a small fist and was placed on his chin. The other hand held his elbow, already lost in thought.
"The rails are the paths that trains travel on. As long as the rails are laid to every territory in the country, the trains can transport the goods to every corner." Alphonse said.
Ask Alphonse to build a steam engine. Alphonse couldn't build it. He only had a rough understanding of the principle but didn't know the detailed structure.
But there is a magic power core in this different world, so Master Camille can try to see if he can get the train out.
When I traveled through time, I felt that this other world was still in a backward farming era. But when I came to the Alchemy Branch in the capital, I found that there was a different situation hidden under the appearance of ignorance. The technology in this other world was far more advanced than The imagination was ahead of its time. The only people walking on land were horse-drawn carriages, but there were already airships.
This development can be said to be a leap.
To put it in layman's terms, it means that you haven't learned to run yet, but you can already fly.
The starting point of technology is much higher than meets the eye, but these technologies are concentrated in the hands of a few people.
This has resulted in the social conditions here seeming to be far more backward than their true technological height.
Master Camille heard Alphonse's words and did not answer.
But he took action.
There were still some iron ingots left to make the bicycle. Under his metal shaping magic, it didn't take much time to form a reduced version of the curved rail on the table, as well as a small locomotive with two carriages hanging on it.
It was very simple, just three long iron blocks mounted on wheels.
Without a magic power core, Master Camille can use alchemical magic to control the movement of a small train.
This magic hand is really great for making figurine models.
"Indeed, this is a very novel idea!" Master Camille praised.
With rail restrictions, even if the train has multiple carriages, there will be no problems while traveling.
"This is just my preliminary idea. How to brake and what kind of device the magic power core should drive to make the train move. I can't figure out how to solve it."
It would be too difficult for Alphonse, a liberal arts student, to tell him the specific structure of the train.
It's not something you can see from the outside.
Alphonse just has more memories of the previous two lives than ordinary people, and has a modern perspective.
Only by standing on the shoulders of giants can we learn these things.
There is no way Alphonse could be as knowledgeable and talented as Gawain, the old rice dumpling who rose from the coffin and was able to construct a complete set of theories and completely change the entire society.
You can only play with gadgets like butter and white sugar like ordinary time travellers.
But in the eyes of Master Kamil, such a fantastic idea made him extremely amazed.
"We will perfect your idea." Master Kamil said.
After that, he stared at Alphonse and said, "With your intelligence, you really shouldn't go to that ungrateful place in the north to be a little lord. Why don't you think about it? I'll tell Coleman for you." , come to our Alchemy Branch to be a research instructor? Our treatment here is also very good."
"No, thank you Master Camille for your kindness." Alphonse quickly refused, "I don't have the talent to practice magic."
Being the lord of the Cold Wind Territory was a last resort, and I didn't want to squat in one place all the time.
When the magic power is completed, it is not as high as the sky and letting birds fly.
Take risks, travel, and have fun.
When it comes to inventing things, just do it occasionally.
There is only so much stuff in his belly, and if he really wants to come to the Alchemy Branch to be a researcher, he will have to reveal his bottom line.
"OK then."
Master Camille didn't pay much attention to being rejected by Alphonse. All his attention was on the rail train.
"This idea of yours has given me a lot of inspiration! I originally thought about reducing the magic power core to the size of a carriage, but after seeing your drawings, I have a new idea. I just reduced it to the size of a carriage. If the magic power core is further reduced, it will not be difficult to achieve based on my current research progress."
