Chapter 858

"All of you, ready!

Open the air valve, steam filling, all units pay attention to the pressure gauge... "

Chi!

On the outskirts of baekler, the capital of faletis, in the grass covered shooting range, surrounded by snow-white steam, a group of soldiers with metal cans on their backs and some strange guns lined up facing the target.

The commander waved his sword and gave a loud shout

"Launch!"

Bang! Bang! Bang

High pressure steam spewing, pushing the hot metal storm to fly out. In the blink of an eye, the first group of targets in front of them were directly torn to pieces.

"Shoot again!"

The soldier was ordered to pull a locking structure on the gun in his hand to push the cone-shaped projectile into the magazine. It took less than one second to pull the trigger again.

"Shoot again!"

Although this kind of "steam gun" is much more bulky than the normal flint gun, its advantages are obvious.

As long as preheating in advance and the pressure provided by the steam pressure tank is up to the standard, it can be launched continuously, and there is no need to fill the powder and projectiles.

Pop! Pop! Bang

Next to the shooting range, a distinguished audience could not help clapping when they saw the performance of this new weapon which had been finalized.

"The premise is that you don't run into encounters in the wild, and you don't have time to make the necessary steam.

This kind of high pressure steam gun should be widely used in the city defense work which can provide logistics support. Especially when dealing with "those things", intensive firepower is the only thing ordinary soldiers rely on. "

Standing at the front of the team, Elvin, who was dressed in a military uniform and a saber on his waist, gave him a positive affirmation.

At this point.

The time has come to the autumn of 196 in Haiyuan calendar. Three years have passed since they last landed on the moon.

This time, it is also a routine visit and technical exchange between the Duchess of Calvary and his wife Olivia to faletis and the "steam and machinery cult".

In addition to the "steam and mechanical theology", "alchemy school" and the entourage of the two countries.

Wearing a red court dress, like a gorgeous red rose, her majesty accompanied her all the way, holding hands with Olivia, who was wearing the same white dress, like a white rose.

Just like a pair of beautiful sisters.

Even in this kind of diplomatic situation, we still talk and laugh freely. It is clear that relations have made great progress in the past three years.

The autumn wind blows.

The delicate skirt corners of the two ladies are flying, which vaguely shows that their straight and slender legs are wrapped with shiny thin silk stockings.

Livina is glamorous black, Olivia is clean white.

Just like the tulip trend at the beginning, silk stockings have become a fashion among the dignitaries in various countries and even among women above the middle class.

Unexpectedly, it has become a popular export commodity in the newly started "oil industry" of the principality, and this high-end female product is worth more than equal weight gold.

In these three years.

As high-level and extraordinary people, they can't see the slightest change in appearance, but the changes in the secular world are profound and subtle.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the whole world seems to be equipped with an accelerator, which is changing day by day.

The "high-pressure steam guns" being tested and finalized and the ten "high-pressure steam guns" being pushed up by the soldiers are only a small part of them.

[watt III military steam engine] makes "steam" an easy and powerful convenient energy. The first application scenario is armament.

"Start [analyzer]!"

A middle-aged man with a single piece of glasses and a bit of slovenness stepped out of the crowd, directing a group of [steam engineers] to get busy beside the huge machinery built nearby.

Charles Babbage, a middle-aged man, is busy and excitedly introduces his latest invention to Elvin

"Your Majesty.

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

Is a new great invention! This firepower table calculation will prove this point! "

With the gradual development of guns, away from the original metaphysical hit the era of front loaded muskets, their trajectory calculation and firepower table test are becoming increasingly important.

A regular firepower table needs 3000 different ballistic parameters.

As far as a single parameter is concerned, a trajectory with a flight time of 60 seconds can directly fatigue an ordinary person, because it takes at least 20 hours of terrible workload!

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

Moreover, it must be universal and can be promoted throughout the military, so that the vast majority of ordinary people working in the front line can also use it.

This Mr. Babbage, though not a powerful wizard, is only a wizard apprentice of "construction branch".

However, a series of "mathematical computers" developed under his leadership can best meet the needs of the military.

The new design is about 30 meters long and 10 meters wide. It is made of brass and Babbage calls it "analyzer".

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

From Elvin's point of view, the originality of "analyzer" lies in:

This is the first "general-purpose computer" with basic components such as arithmetic unit, memory, controller, input and output unit in the fifth era of human history!

In this new design, he also creatively put forward the concept of automatic instruction sequence, by which the "analyzer" can run from the previous step to the next step without human help.

With this "computing machine", Babbage has no obstacles to break through the formal wizard.

Bang Bang

As the steam engine drives the transmission device to run, the precise brass gear rolls like a bead, making a "tick tick tick" sound.

With the input and output of punched paper card, a pile of data that needs several days of operation is being generated rapidly.

Look at this "analyzer" which is constantly running under the impetus of steam engine.

Elvin nodded gently.

Well, there's something in it.

Three years ago, it was only a rudiment, but now, it seems that the world has completely entered the "Steampunk era".

And the progress is not only tulip alliance, genius is not limited to one country, with the other countries on the mainland catching up, quite a hundred flowers bloom.

This also reminds Elvin of a concept that he has just added to his "theory of evolution" -- progressive weak compensation.

That is to say, the survival intensity (the tenacity of survival) of all creatures and posterity species in the world always shows a decreasing trend, and one generation will be weaker than another, which means "weaker".

Therefore, if these creatures want to survive, they have to constantly look for more supporting factors, which is "compensation".

Just like the status quo of the material world.

With the migration of the era, the power of extraordinary creatures is decreasing. The more "evolved" human beings are, the weaker their individual power is, and the more their number is, the more collective division and cooperation are needed.

When applied to modern human beings, the extraordinary power is weakness, and science is compensation.

"Oh, this is the biggest trend in the world that spans many eras."

of course.

If we say what is the defect of the rapid progress of technology, it is probably the thick smoke hanging over Becker at this time.

This is the throes of industrial development. Even Menon Watt, the "God of steam and machinery" who has successfully condensed the [clergy], can not change it.

Because of the increasingly harsh environment.

Now her majesty, Livina, has a large part of her spare time in the White Swan Castle after another round of expansion.

In white swan castle, she has her own room, maid team, cloakroom... And even wine cellar, which is the same as her own home.

Compared with Berkeley at this time, long island with beautiful scenery and pleasant environment is just paradise.

In addition, Elvin can't help pleading, using the power of the divine creature and the crown wizard to build a permanent portal in her room in St. James' palace, so that she can communicate freely.

Just then.

Hoo!

A huge "hard airship" with a shadow hanging over the crowd flew to the depth of the range.

"Haven't you seen anything new like this, Hersey? When the test is over, let's go for a lap. "

"Yes, sister Weina."

Two women who have already been in space are still curious about this kind of primitive aerocraft.

Elvin's "eye of the cave", has seen it at a glance.

The airship has a rigid hollow copper tube skeleton, which is composed of a longitudinal abdominal beam, 24 pestles and 16 frames.

A large number of longitudinal and transverse stay wires are used to enhance the structural strength.

The hull frame is covered with a skin made of waterproof cloth, and there are 17 airbags in the boat, with a total volume of 12000 cubic meters and a total buoyancy of 13 tons.

Because the improved multi air bag design can also play a role similar to the ship's water separation tank, even if one or two damaged will not affect the flight, greatly improving the flight safety.

Using steam power, the visual speed can reach 24 kilometers per hour, which is enough to put into actual combat. The premise is not to encounter anti-aircraft guns.

"All of you, ready!"

After the "analyzer" finished measuring the firepower table, the [high-pressure steam gun] in the experimental stage adjusted the muzzle one after another to point at the huge living target ten kilometers away, which was lowered by the airship.

It was a giant monster more than five meters long, with scales like a giant crocodile.

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

Even if the enchanted wire rope is firmly tied, there is hot lava splashing out of the nose.

This is a "demon like" transformed by the upper level demon, and also an acquired demon based on the material world creatures.

It is also the key to the rapid launch of the [high pressure steam gun] and [high pressure steam gun] projects to equip the army.

Three years ago.

The so-called "chaos has arrived" in Solomon's letter indicates that the most fundamental problem is that Elvin has not yet adapted to an immortal's concept of time.

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

The main reason is that those cunning demons who come to the material world for the sake of "vitality" can not carry too much power if they want to break through the boundary barrier.

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

Of course, some brave people have begun to secretly hunt for human beings, and even continue to create "demons" that were originally human beings but are now demons to confuse the public.

As the strongest human union to suppress the material world, "tulip alliance" has the broadest land and dominates the largest population, which is also the problem that Evan and Livina have to face now.

"Fire!"

Boom! Boom! Boom

Two rounds of rapid fire, carrying a huge kinetic energy of the shell, easily that is equivalent to the third-order "crocodile demon" torn to pieces.

[high pressure steam gun] no matter its firing speed or power, it should be far higher than the conventional shipborne gun of the current sail battleship, so it can be said that the future is promising.

At the end of the test, Livina turned her head and looked forward to it

"Elvin, hessie, it's time to take out the good things you told me before that can deal with demons?"
