Chapter 231: Ivan, Favored by God
"Ivan, I have to say that your genius design is indeed great, but..."
Ivan looked sleepily at Daryl, the miner uncle in front of him who was using a combination of highs and lows to trick him. Ivan, who had not slept well to begin with, now had some language intolerance - intolerance of this kind of roundabout language.
"Just say it, Uncle Daryl.
All the emphasis will come after that, as the saying goes in my hometown.”
Daryl, who had finally learned some aristocratic communication methods from River, grinned and scratched his hair, laughing like a fool.
"Evan, I'll be frank...
When we have assembled what you call a lift, it is indeed capable of transporting more than five thousand pounds at a time;
Moreover, because of the rails and steel cables embedded in the cliff, the entire load-bearing platform cannot feel any shaking.
But this thing consumes crystals too quickly. Every seven or eight times, it consumes a crystal the size of an egg..."
"The size of an egg? Are you sure you're right?"
Ivan's mouth is now as big as an egg.
According to his design ideas, these spell-driven elevators are not much different from the freight elevators of the Blue Star era.
The kinetic energy generated by the spell drives the winches at the upper and lower ends to operate simultaneously, and controls the up and down direction of the elevator through forward and reverse adjustment.
But the energy consumption of a crystal the size of an egg is a bit outrageous.
The energy storage crystal inside [Flying Eye] is only the size of an egg.
After an energy storage crystal is filled with energy, it can support the [Flying Eye] to trigger more than 300 fireballs - Alvin has done this before.
More than three hundred fireballs!
If the ground was evenly covered, the entire town of Nield could be plowed flat, not to mention there were only 5,000 pounds of supplies.
"Take me there first!"
Now this guy was no longer sleepy, and he ran towards the hanging ladder in a hurry.
Xiling fell behind and shook her head helplessly.
In the end, he still couldn't help but feel worried about this weak human who had just reshaped his body after three days of coma, so he followed him with brisk steps.
……
"Uncle...Uncle Daryl...
On the design drawing, the balancing weight is placed on the right side of the load-bearing platform..."
Seeing that the Nield vertical lift was not running because of excessive energy consumption, Alvin looked at Daryl speechlessly.
"Balance weights? You mean those big square metal plates next to it?
I thought this was extra material!
Hahahaha, kid, when I saw so many square boards, I told several other team members that you used your magical spell to make them easier for us to carry..."
"Okay! Uncle, you are amazing!
Here are the things! Bring them back and install them!"
If the elevator does not have a counterweight, the work done on the load can only rely on the power generated by the winch.
But if a balancing weight is added, it is equivalent to reducing the amount of force required to push the load;
In extreme cases, when the counterweight and platform load are exactly the same, the force required to push the winch is only responsible for counteracting the friction of the winch and the tension of the steel cable.
This principle is the same as a balance.
After installing the balancing weight, the lift finally became what it should be.
“Boy Alvin, you must be a human being favored by the God of Wisdom!
It's simply amazing!
After installing those iron plates that have no magical fluctuations, the energy consumption of the crystal has been reduced by at least a thousand times!"
Daryl excitedly gave Ivan a thumbs up.
Well, this gesture is universal in both worlds.
……
Two natural hours had passed since I walked out of the private residence of the young mayor of Huiyao City.
River was sitting in a rather exquisite noble carriage, and the driver was an older halfling warrior.
"Sir River, shall we go back to Nield now?"
The halfling warrior asked uncertainly as he looked at the sky which was already darkening.
River woke up from his confused thoughts and looked towards the west, where a fiery red sunset was slowly setting.
"Sammy... I remember your name is this, right..."
"Sir River, you have a very good memory."
"Don't be so official. When I left the capital, there weren't many professionals of my age in Nield."
After a pause, Ruiwo withdrew his gaze from the setting sun in the west and looked in the other direction of Huiyao City.
"Sammy, how do you feel about Sir Irwin?"
The halfling warrior standing outside the carriage was stunned for a moment.
He had not expected that this noble lord, the former lord of Nield and still the nominal lord, would speak to him in such an un-aristocratic way.
But Sammy answered quickly without thinking.
“I am not a little girl like little Annie who has read too many chivalric novels, Sir River.
The savior of the Nield, the powerful druid of the North, these descriptions are indeed a bit exaggerated.
But, when Mr. Ivan was in the isolation ward, I saw clearly that he only wanted to save people."
River looked at this halfling who was about the same age as him and sneered in annoyance.
“Sammy, your official tone of speech has become ingrained in your bones.
To be honest, I am a believer in an evil spirit and I have no interest in anything like curing diseases and saving lives.
But the day I met Alvin, I found that I could live another way..."
Putting one foot on the pedal of the carriage, River did not get on the carriage immediately, but looked at the Nield man who, like himself, had grown from a young man to a middle-aged man.
“I plan to go and win some new allies for our new lord.
Will you come with me?"
Halfling Sammy climbed directly onto the driver's seat and spoke in a complaining tone.
"You also said that I like to talk in official language, Ruiwo, you were like this more than ten years ago.
You know exactly what I will choose..."
After saying that, he picked up the horsewhip beside him and pointed towards Huiyao City, the direction that Ruiwo had been looking at for a long time.
"The Temple District, right?"
"Hey! I thought you were some old, old man who had never walked out of Nield for half his life.
I didn't expect you even knew about the Temple District!"
"old man?"
Sammy turned his head unhappily and stared at Sir River's slow movements as he got into the car due to long-term enjoyment.
"If I remember correctly, you are a few years older than me..."
The sound of horse hooves could be heard as the noble carriage re-entered Huiyao City and drove towards the western district where many temples were located.
At the gate of Huiyao City, a thin figure appeared at the base of the city wall.
"Do you see clearly?
Are you sure it's that evil River Sifu? "
The thin figure asked a city guard, his tone full of the meaning of a superior.
“My lady, I will not make a mistake with that royal-style aristocratic carriage.
After all, this Sir is very famous in certain circles..."
