When Gao Wen arrived at the southeast corner of the camp, a group of soldiers had already gathered here. The Byron Knights patrolling nearby brought people to maintain order as soon as they heard the news and dispersed the brave civilians.

But to be honest, even if there were no soldiers coming forward to expel them, there were not many civilians gathered: they were not only afraid of the authority of the nobles, but also the power of magic. Hetty's magic laboratory is undoubtedly a strange and terrifying place in the eyes of those who cannot use extraordinary power. The explosions from the laboratory are even more terrifying. Although it is human nature to watch the excitement, there are some excitement that even the most bold people dare not watch.

Gao Wen saw a big hole breaking on one side of the magic laboratory, and there was a rolling smoke coming out of it. The smoke was mixed with a pungent burnt smell, and some magic power that had not yet dissipated was shining in the smoke. Hetty and Rebecca had already rushed out of the room, both of whom were smoked and covered in dust. Hetty was summoning Shuiliu in a mess at this time to clean up the ashes on his hair and face. After seeing Gao Wen, Rebecca rushed up with excitement: "My ancestors! The power of art is indeed very powerful!"

Gao Wen held Rebecca, who was obviously a little excited, and looked at the culprit and victim of the two experimental accidents that seemed to have just been rescued from the black coal mine: "Are you two okay? Why did the walls explode?

The power of this explosion was more powerful than he expected - he originally thought there was a protective magic, and the detonation was only some unencapsulated crystal particles, so it would not be too harmful.

However, he ignored one thing: this explosion was not a gunpowder weapon on the earth, but a magic effect. For explosive magic, whether it is encapsulated in a hard and closed container has a limited impact on power...

"The effect of a large number of crystal particles being detonated at the same time was a little beyond expectations," Hetty finally washed herself with the summoned water flow, and after hearing Gao Wen's question, he stepped forward and replied, and at the same time, he threw a ball of water balls on Rebecca's face in anger. "Of course, what's more important is that she put the two test samples too close! The crystal particles with double parts were detonated at the same time!"

Gao Wen looked at Rebecca silently, thinking that the silly roe deer would really not be able to escape the fight today...

After confirming that both of them were fine, Gao Wen was more or less relieved. Then it was the time to care about property: "Is the loss big?"

Hetty showed a painful expression on his face: "The magic array I used for the experiment was destroyed, but fortunately, at the moment of the explosion, I released most of my power to the direction of the vacant wall. The crystal resonator that was not affected by the silence was replaced by half of the wall that needed repair."

Gao Wen looked at Rebecca silently again. Since the most expensive crystal resonator is not broken, the silly roe deer should not be beaten to death...

Rebecca was still unaware of anything. Of course, it was also possible that he was blinded and had not woken up yet. He noticed that his ancestor had looked over several times, and she asked in a daze: "Ancestor, what do you think of me?"

Gao Wen thought for a while: "Are you going to fight against the beating?"

Rebecca scratched her hair: "It's okay... I often fight with wolves when I was a child."

"Then it's okay," Gao Wen waved his hand, "How many samples were used this time? How is the work of the rune trigger?"

"Just... two small piles," Rebecca gestured with his hand, showing a proud look when lifting the rune trigger, "And I tell you, the rune trigger is really effective! It is enough to connect it to the explosion array to act as the starting energy. As long as the magic array has this initial energy, the subsequent explosion process can be supported by those crystals. I plan to try next time to see if the magic power of the rune trigger can activate other types of rune groups... Ahh, it would be great if the magic power has a more accurate value, you can know how much magic power it produces when the rune trigger closes, and you can also calculate how much magic power it will consume when an initial rune group runs..."

As Rebecca spoke, her mind spread out, and when she was halfway through, she shuddered and pulled back her thoughts from Far and began to report to Gao Wen: "Sir, I tell you, Aunt Hetty didn't believe what I said at first, and she didn't believe that the rune trigger would have a magical impact when it was closed. She said that the thing had no energy-gathering structure..."

Speaking of rune triggers, Hetty really praised Rebecca: "That thing is indeed a very good invention. Although magicians have tried to cut a complete magic array and control the magic mechanism by reorganizing these parts, no one has ever thought of turning this division and reorganization into a fixed pattern. Rebecca's rune trigger uses a pair of fixed runes as the "connection key". This structure is very consistent with the 'genericity' and 'normative' you often talk to us..."

That's because Rebecca has positioned the rune trigger as a product that "can be used by ordinary people" from the beginning. She even thought about the extent to which if the rune trigger is damaged, the blacksmith and apprentice in the steel mill could repair it. Therefore, she simplified this structure to the extreme, and even to the point where there was only one set of runes.

Who would have thought of this from the mainstream wizards in this world?

As for the "magic standard value" that Rebecca seemed to mention casually just now, Gao Wen also remembered it in his heart.

Although modern humans do not have the ability to accurately measure and standardize magic power, it was actually already in this area during the Gondor period seven hundred years ago. Some magicians had thought about how to use this huge amount of energy more accurately and standardized. It was a pity that the Deep Blue Well exploded before they thought about the results.

But since you want to develop based on the "magic" of this world, it will be a matter of time before standardization and standardization are done.

"First fix the magic lab, and then continue the explosion experiments about those crystals," Gao Wen came back to his senses from his brief thoughts and looked at Hetty and Rebecca, "but the experiment needs to be adjusted... The power of those crystals is beyond expectations, and it is too dangerous to continue testing indoors. I will use the gentle slope near the river bank to the east of the camp as a test site, where the terrain is wide and suitable for testing this kind of thing. In addition, think about how to make a corresponding container to serve as the shell of the 'Rebecca Crystal' so as to turn it into a truly usable weapon."

Rebecca and Hetty nodded repeatedly and wrote down these instructions. After thinking for a while, Gao Wen suddenly remembered a very critical thing: "Wait, and - have you ever thought about how to delay the detonation of the magic circle?"

"Delay the detonation time?" Hetty didn't react at once, but then realized that not everyone could use his energy-shaping hands to press the rune trigger far away from each other.

With the current running mechanism of rune triggers and explosion arrays, it is a kind of thing that explodes when pressed, which means that this thing is simply a self-destructive artifact. After pressing the button, the enemy will die. I don’t know whether it will die. Anyway, I must be dead...

In this regard, the ancient Gondor crystal relies on the "enemy and enemy identification" function that is almost black in technology to ensure safety. In addition, there is also a very complex detonation mechanism in the crystal that automatically runs after it is out of the control of the master. However, to the current mages, this part of the rune group is simply an alien creation, and it is difficult to draw on paper, let alone restore it.

A lot of runes and magic arrays popped up in Heti's mind, and tried to use these things to meet the "delayed detonation" requirements put forward by his ancestors. She thought of adding a slow charging structure to those rune groups. When the rune trigger was pressed, it began to be fully charged, and only after the energy was filled would it touch the next level of detonation magic array. But it was obvious that the instantaneous magic power provided by the rune trigger could not satisfy this at all.

Rebecca was also thinking quickly in her head, but in addition to runes and magic circles, there were also a lot of springs and connecting rods...

She is trying to use ways other than magic to meet the requirements of her ancestors.

This is the difference between a mage who knows a lot of spells and a mage who only knows a single fireball.

The two great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great

Is there a magical world?

Sure enough, even the first sound of art is completely different from that of the earth.

As a burst that requires a specific magic array to detonate, the power and safety of the "Rebecca Crystal" are not a problem, but it encounters great trouble in delaying detonation.

If it is fire and medicine on the earth, it only requires a fuse.

In a blink of an eye, Cecil's pioneering camp has been rooted in this land for a month. The people and supplies promised by King Francis II have not arrived yet, but there is clear news that they are on the road. This year, the flood season of the Dorgon River is half a month later than in previous years, and the aid from the hinterland of the kingdom has been delayed on the road.

For these delays, Gao Wen can be said to be mentally prepared: in this world where everything is slow and backward, he cannot rely on others according to the precise and efficient social background on the earth, so his camp construction plan is not affected at all, and it is still carried out at the established pace.

A large number of tents in the camp have become relatively sturdy wooden houses that can be used for a long time. At this stage when cement is temporarily hopeless, Gao Wen prepares to open a new area on the west side of the camp to build brick kilns to fire acres. Although cement has failed in this world, burning bricks is still possible, which is a technology already available in this world.

However, traditional brick burning relies on manual labor and is extremely low in efficiency, and the corresponding finished product price is high. In places like Tanzan Town, only the citizens can afford brick and tiles.

However, before his plan could be implemented, a sudden change disrupted the pace of camp construction.

Several serfs who went to the mountains to look for quartz sand escaped in horror. Two of them were seriously injured, and one of them had been left in the mountains forever.
