Chapter 425 Energy Utilization

The motor finally stopped running on the afternoon of the fifth day.

In other words, one section of "Shuguang-1" can provide the power of a large electric motor for five days. If used intermittently, the working time can be extended even longer. Copper pillars that have lost their metamagnetic effect can be enchanted again, which is completely low-consumption, pollution-free, and recyclable green energy.

Its shortcomings are also obvious. One enchantment requires the consumption of the magic power of Anna, Mysterious Moon and Speer. Even if the three of them produce one "Dawn One" every day, they can keep up to five motors running (without shutting down the machine). Down). Anna is still an irreplaceable figure in the town's finishing and steel smelting. Although Roland has tried his best to hand over most of the manufacturing industry to ordinary townspeople, without Anna's supply of machine tools and materials to manufacture and maintain, rotating firearms, bullets, etc. Once the items are produced, they will immediately run dry.

Not to mention that the 152mm fortress cannon, new small weapons and various ideas of his own all need Anna to realize, so it is impossible for him to accept that the other party spends his magic power on charging the battery.

Roland leaned on the high-backed chair in the office and let out a long sigh.

To overcome this shortcoming, we will undoubtedly start from two aspects. One is to continue to increase the duration of "Dawn One", which requires a larger source of magic power or an increase in the number of input people. It is a pity that the Marquise's magic channel is already very difficult to transport Anna's magic power alone. After completing the charging, she is almost exhausted physically and mentally. If she wants to bring in a few more witches to provide energy for Mysterious Moon, there is nothing she can do. This problem can only allow Speer to slowly adapt to it. After all, during her tenure as a lord, she may not concentrate on studying how to improve her abilities.

The second point is to replace Anna with other witches. Compared with Anna, Soraya, Agatha and others who are busy at work, most witches will not use up all their magic power every day. If the remaining magic power is used It is a feasible method to make variable magnetic core columns.

As long as the total amount does not exceed the share provided by Anna alone, Speer should be able to persevere. She has said before that the magic channel is not a one-to-one transmission and can completely connect multiple people at the same time.

Roland wrote this idea down on paper. As for who has more magic power and who has less magic power, how much he uses every day and how much he keeps can be left to the Witches' Alliance to count.

Wendy, who is deeply trusted by everyone, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

After solving this problem, we must next consider how to use this new energy source.

Obviously, unlike the steam engines that can be produced in a factory for four or five units a month and can be used by boiling some water, due to the limited number of "Shuguang-1", there is no point in building more terminal conversion machines. Judging from the current level of magic power, he estimated that the town can only maintain three to four terminals at most. Whether it is used as a source of power, boiling water, or lighting lights, and if you want the system to operate stably, I am afraid it will still be difficult. You can only specialize in the same thing.

After thinking for a long time, Roland finally drew a circle on the light bulb.

Although the source power, that is, the electric motor has more advantages than the steam engine, such as stable speed, easy control, convenient automation, etc., the latter is sufficient to meet the current power demand. He has also imagined some high-end electric equipment, such as electric cars that travel between Changge Fortress and small towns, or electric airships that can be controlled by ordinary people, but the cost performance is not cost-effective. You know, making these machines move requires Anna. Or other witches stop working for a day.

This is especially true for boiling water. Boilers and firewood can solve the problem. Even hiring a few more people to look after and maintain it is more cost-effective than spending magic power. He is not rich enough to squander the electricity.

Lighting has many meanings. Not only that a stable and clean light source can greatly improve the happiness of residents, but also gives them better conditions for studying at night. Not everyone is willing to go home and continue to face the dim light after a busy day. candle reading book.

Moreover, capturing the legendary power of thunder for the people to use will be of great benefit to getting rid of superstitious ideas and improving the scientific spirit. This is probably the most intuitive understanding of the application of electric energy by the public. Even if airships and electric vehicles seem incredible, they are still far away from them.

Another most important point is that the weak light of candles cannot meet the needs of night production. With electric lighting, the factory can maintain production even at night, and can even implement three shifts if necessary, which means that the work efficiency of the town will be further improved.

After setting the direction of development, a series of problems still need to be solved to achieve this goal: such as light bulb manufacturing, line installation, power supply solutions, and electricity consumption promotion.

But these can be considered later.

Thinking of this, Roland called Wendy.

"You mean, the sisters' daily consumption of magic power and remaining magic power will be tallied up and sent to Mystery Moon as planned?" Wendy asked after listening to his story.

"Well, those combat witches with fixed tasks don't need to be counted," the prince nodded, "What do you think?"

In essence, the remaining magic power after excluding ability training, mission consumption, and emergency preparation is broken down into parts to ensure the production of "Dawn One". This can not only make full use of the witch's power, but also strengthen the practice, which is of great help in improving the magic power on the awakening day every year.

"I think Hummingbird and Echo will be very happy," Wendy smiled. "In this way, they can play the same role as Anna. But how to measure this margin?"

"Just use the Balance Magic Stone to determine it. This is the common method used by the federation in the past."

"Yes, Your Highness." She bowed slightly and said, "By the way, today is Lucia's coming-of-age day. Do we need to summon all the members of the alliance to spend the evening with her?"

Roland was startled, "Ah... I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me."

"You have too many things to remember," Wendy said softly, "I have written down the growth history of each sister in the book so that nothing will be missed."

After Anna passed her awakening day, Nana, Lightning, Echo and others also spent their "second birthdays" one after another, but the significance of coming of age day is more profound. It is a special awakening day. Although it occurs on the same day, the magic backlash suffered by adults is several times greater than usual. Before they can master the pain of eliminating the body, this is the most difficult life and death difficulty for witches to overcome.

Once they reach adulthood, their abilities will become stable and greatly improved. Some witches will also awaken branch abilities, which is no less significant than evolution.

"Well, I will prepare a sumptuous dinner tonight," Roland said softly. "Not only the Witch Union, I will also spend it with her.".
