The old blacksmith Hammer widened his eyes, staring at the weird machine running quickly with astonishment and confusion.

Its core is filled with the brilliance of magic. It can be described as a simple repulsive mechanism that is reciprocating back and forth under the action of a simple magic array and a series of mechanical structures. The heavy flywheel rotates rapidly under the driving force of the connecting rod and crankshaft, and the rotation speed exceeds that of any windmill, waterwheel and human-powered crank. He knew deeply how much weight the big iron wheel weighs. It was something that could easily break human bones when rotated, but it was driven in this way, and it was easy to drive.

The two rune craftsmen standing next to him saw more and thought more.

They are servants trained by magicians. If the rune master is the "circuit engineer" who designs the magic circle blueprint, then the rune craftsmen are the "mechanical engineers" responsible for creating the mechanical parts of the magic mechanism. They naturally know much more in this regard than ordinary blacksmiths.

Rune craftsmen usually create various mechanisms and magic props, and are naturally familiar with the most basic gadgets of the repulsive power array. However, they never thought that this simple, magic-level thing could produce such a magical effect. Only an effective mechanical structure is needed to automatically switch the repulsive power array that could only be used to promote the machine door or rock-falling trap. Although the entire magic engine is driven by magic power, its internal principles are completely different from any previous magic props!

In the magic engine, magic power is no longer the only one, all power, it is no longer used roughly, but is transformed, amplified, and turned into something more... practical.

At first, they were asked to work with a group of blacksmiths and blacksmith apprentices. The Runecraftsmen had more or less a resentment in their hearts, but after seeing the magic engine of the finished product, their resentment was involuntarily replaced by some enlightenment: they finally realized what the female general named Hetty said to them when they had just arrived in this territory, "abandon all old thoughts and bonds, and obey the new order of this land" meant that the rules and bonds were really worth mentioning compared to the new things seen on this land.

A blacksmith apprentice stared at the magic engine that was constantly running, and couldn't help but murmur: "This is what we made..."

Hammer quickly interrupted his apprentice: "No, this is the wisdom of the Duke and Viscount, and Madame Hetty."

"No," Gao Wen interrupted Hammer's words, "This is what you have created, and there is no doubt that honor belongs to everyone who has given their labor. Therefore, those who contribute to the creation of magic engines can not only receive rewards, but also receive glory. The names of each of you will be recorded, made into a nameplate and placed on the first generation of magic engines, and recorded in Cecil's history book."

The craftsmen and the apprentices looked at each other. Hammer twisted his beard hard and even accidentally pulled a few of them off without realizing it. It was not until the two rune craftsmen from the royal capital who had seen the world salute and thanked them. The old blacksmith finally realized and quickly thanked them.

Gao Wen withdrew his gaze and looked at the magic engine prototype that was still operating normally with irresistible joy and excitement.

Its noise is very high, and the flywheel also causes the entire machine to vibrate violently during rotation. Due to errors in part accuracy, these are unavoidable problems. Gao Wen can be sure that a considerable part of the power of this machine will be lost in the friction of non-compliant parts, and its output power and overall life will be discounted. But these are all details. The most important thing is that the machine operates as expected.

First solve the existence or not, then consider the good or bad.

Gao Wen looked at the original machine almost fascinated, but suddenly, a trace of doubt and worry appeared in his eyes.

But this subtle emotional change disappeared quickly.

On the other side, Hetty has begun to test the power of this machine: she uses the power molding hand or gravity technique to slowly press the output shaft of the machine. After trying it several times in a row, she couldn't help but exclaim: "This machine has a lot of power. I tried it. When it rotates at full speed, it can even pull up half a ton of iron blocks directly vertically. If you use the pulley set or reduction gear you mentioned before, it has no idea how much its power can be amplified. In addition, this is because we use cheaper rune materials, and the connecting rods are also made of ordinary steel instead of stronger purple steel, so its lifting space is quite huge."

Rebecca doesn't have all kinds of easy-to-use auxiliary magic, and at this time, he can't throw a big fireball to test the blood strips of the machine, so he scratched his chin next to him and thought about something more practical: "Sir, Ancestor, what do you think this machine can do?"

Gao Wen glanced at the girl with a funny look: "Tell me what you think."

"A lot of monotonous and repetitive work that requires a lot of effort seems to be handed over to it, such as letting it carry a mill? The big saw that drives the sawmill? Its strength is absolutely strong enough, and it does not have to consider the influence of the wind direction and the river water at all!"

"It has many uses. It can drive water trucks, pull mine trucks on the other side of the mine, use them to pump water from the mine, and drive sledgehammers to forge steel. With suitable molds, it can also directly press a whole piece of steel plate into armor or other parts like pressing biscuits. It can also be placed in a brick kiln factory to drive other machines to press bricks, instead of requiring more than a dozen serfs to make blanks one by one with wooden frame molds like now..."

Gao Wen casually said that he thought the most important application direction at present, while the people around him were all confused one by one. They had never had the concept of using machines to replace artificial intelligence. Even if there were things like windmill mills and water conservancy mills in this world, they were all very shallow and rough things. How could they suddenly think of various machines that could be connected to magic engines?

However, Hammer couldn't help but lit his eyes when he heard the machine driving a sledgehammer to forge steel and directly forging the steel plate into armor parts. His professional intuition made him realize that this was a bright road.

However, Rebecca's eyes were shining throughout the whole process. Basically, as long as a usage popped up in Gao Wen's mouth, a lot of lever bearings and gears popped up in her mind. Although those things were not formed into useful machines, she felt that as long as she gave herself a little time, she could toss out the things that her ancestors had imagined one by one!

But at this moment, Hetty frowned and said with some worries: "The key is that we only have one machine... It takes time and effort to build a new magic engine, and it must be within the coverage of the magic network to operate, which is very problematic."

While talking, she pulled the lever to cut off the energy of the magic engine and calmed it down gradually: the noise of this thing is not very loud, it is spinning here, and people around have to shout when they speak.

"It doesn't cost much to lay a magic net. After all, it's all basic runes, and blueprints are ready-made. It's a problem to build machines... It's mainly because it takes too time to create these parts by hand," Gao Wen rubbed his chin, "but there is nothing we can do about it. We still have to use manual construction now..."

At this moment, a sound with a metal tremolo suddenly penetrated: "Ahem, I have something to say."

Nicholas eggs, covered with bright silver and bright silver, slowly floated over.

Rebecca was happy when she saw this shiny metal ball: "Dandan, do you have an idea?!"

"I'm not called Dandan!" Nicholas egg suddenly took off two or three meters high (if there was a roof blocking it, I would have planned to fly higher). The sound from the ball was furious, "At least you call me Dandan!"

Rebecca was not scared by the ball at all: "Oh, okay, do you have a way?"

Nicholas Egg: "…"

"Don't compete with her, tell me your way," Gao Wen interrupted the upcoming verbal battle and looked at the metal ball slowly drifting back to its normal height very seriously. "I know you are good at controlling metals, do you say..."

"Yes, I finally know what I can do here!" Nicholas Egg's voice sounded particularly pleasant. As he said, various metal collisions sounded everywhere in the shed. The metal scraps piled up in the corners, ready to return to the furnace were floating and pulled around the silver-white metal ball. "I can help you make iron!"

As his voice fell, the metal scraps floating in the air made a squeaking sound one by one, as if there was a huge pressure on their surface, and they began to deform slowly. Gao Wen soon discovered that this deformation was not only the external force that some metals had obvious signs of melting. They were not only being squeezed, but also being forged!

In just a few minutes, these metals became large and small, with exquisite and complex structures and various strange gadgets, and even lifelike metal sculptures for everyone on the scene.

The shed was completely quiet.

Nicholas Egg seemed very satisfied with the effect of its performance. It proudly placed the parts on the ground and then delivered the metal sculpture to everyone's hands: "How is it? This is much more efficient than you, right?"

Hammer took over his own metal sculpture, but his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly with such powerful abilities... Will blacksmiths still need in the territory in the future?!

It’s really the same as what the lord said last time, the blacksmith who beats things with an iron hammer is going to be useless? Will it be useless so soon?

The rune craftsmen at the scene were also frightened. Even Hetty and Rebecca were shocked and felt that with this ball, all the craftsmen who deal with metal in the territory might be unemployed...

Only Gao Wen, although he was also shocked at the speed of Nicholas eggs quickly shaping metal forms, then his attention was completely focused on the other side.
