Chapter 124 Strange Things
In addition to Ethan's disdain for the main body of this ship, it is more convenient for him to dismantle these magic stone equipment, and only after he has a deep understanding of these technologies can he integrate them into his own knowledge system and use them. .
At present, the development of magic stone technology in this world is far beyond what I expected. The guild seems to have countless perfect knowledge, but not all of it.
This kind of feeling is not good, and Ethan always has a feeling that the guild is engaged in a conspiracy. In addition, he doesn't like important things being controlled by others. Only when they truly master them can they be used with confidence, so he must study them clearly. Otherwise, he would rather abandon the magic stone technology and use it as pure energy.
For the next time, Ethan's focus shifted from the magic stone on the island to the dismantling of the specially-made ship.
Ethan didn't know the specific structure of these magic stone equipment, so he was very careful when dismantling them. Even running back and forth to the console to get an overall image of the boat to make sure I didn't get anything wrong.
Naturally, the speed couldn't be faster. After three months of work, Ethan completely dismantled the magic stone equipment on the ship and moved it to the Goddess of Dawn. The rest of the wooden hull also did not escape Ethan's clutches. The better parts were removed by him and preserved, and the remaining damaged parts were burned directly.
He did this just to be on the safe side and didn't want anyone to find out about this guy. Therefore, the magic stone equipment he obtained and the wood of this ship will not be seen by outsiders, and it is even more impossible to sell it.
Wood he will do more processing, making other things. The magic stone equipment will be completely transformed by taking advantage of the kung fu at sea. Even if it is to be used, it must be ensured that the appearance will not be recognized by people.
For this reason, he gave up the magic stones in the warehouse, and gave priority to taking out some magic stones of poor quality. The experiments that would waste a lot of magic stones and gave up in the past were all put on the agenda. Shi's understanding is also improving rapidly.
Even so, on the premise that the Dawn Goddess's warehouse is full, there are still a lot of materials piled up on the deck. The severely overloaded Dawn Goddess has a much deeper draft, and it has become a lot more stable in this stormy sea area.
The speed of this state is inevitably affected. Fortunately, Ethan is not in a hurry to return to the central island. The food reserves are sufficient and can be replenished from the sea. There is no possibility of a shortage of fresh water after having processing equipment: even if the equipment is broken It's impossible for Ethan to worry about Shimizu's problems.
Now what Ethan wants to do most is to combine the magic stone technology with his own knowledge to further transform the Goddess of Dawn.
The magic stone equipment currently installed on the Dawn Goddess includes cooking equipment in the kitchen; temperature adjustment devices in the warehouse; water purification equipment for bathing and drinking water for the whole ship; balance and stabilization devices installed on the outside of the ship; lighting used in various rooms facilities and the most important console.
All of these devices have independent energy supply, not so much for the convenience of use as the lack of a system and structure, and the role of each device is very clear, the technical content is not high.
These devices are devices that take advantage of the properties of the magic stone itself and make it easier for adventurers to use. Even that console requires certain magic stones to function properly.
It can be said that the magic stone equipment that Ethan has used so far is mainly magic stone.
What I got this time was different. The propulsion device was something completely different from the equipment on my own ship.
On this thruster, Ethan vaguely saw a similar direction when he and Tony were studying the combination of magic and technology. It is not simply to exert the attributes of the magic stone itself, but to have its own function. At the same time, this function can also make better use of the ability of the magic stone itself, from focusing on the magic stone to both. Not only is there no conflict, but they complement each other perfectly and produce better results.
"So, the development of magic stone equipment is how to perfectly match the two, so that one plus one is greater than two."
The idea is clear, and how to do it needs to be studied slowly. Ethan looked at the propulsion device that was dismantled by himself. The detailed structure has been imprinted in his mind. With his hands-on ability, he wanted to install it. It's not hard to go back.
But he is not going to restore it to its original state. This set of things was snatched from the enemy. Will it be troublesome if it is installed on his own ship as it is?
Even if he wants to use it, he has to give it a facelift, and he wants to continue to make some improvements to see if some optimizations can be made.
In addition, the water supply system on the Dawn Goddess is still very primitive. He really wants to install a modern water supply system. In addition, he will replace the entire energy supply system for the Dawn Goddess. Completely abandon the current system and adopt a main For energy supply, it is necessary to consider matching the energy transmission system.
After thinking about it, Ethan found that if he wanted to make this set of things, the biggest hidden danger was the hull of the Dawn Goddess. The wooden hull was too fragile. may lead to the collapse of the entire system.
"Headache!"
Ethan pressed his temples and found that the more he thought about it, the farther he went. If he wanted to perfectly realize his vision, the current Dawn Goddess would definitely not work. He had to at least build a steel battleship first.
In fact, he has had a similar idea for a long time, but the steel battleship is not a bicycle. It can be knocked out by hand. It is really unrealistic to want to build a steel battleship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons.
"Leave it to the shipyard for OEM?"
If he had considered this approach before, now he has completely given up.
"Ask Ant-Man for help?"
After thinking about it, it seems that the most reliable way is to ask Tony to help build an ideal ship, and then find Ant-Man, ask him to use Pym particles to help make the ship smaller, and then bring it to this world by himself .
An extra piece of Pym particle equipment is required to restore the ship to its original state. Otherwise, you can only use it as a model when you take it back.
Old Dr. Pym didn't think about it, so he used his friendship with Tony, and he wouldn't help him when he found this old guy, and he would be ridiculed if he didn't do it.
"Besides that, it seems that Blackbeard is also an option?"
He suddenly remembered Blackbeard in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean. There is a kind of black magic that puts ships in bottles. If you can learn this magic, it will be more convenient than Pym particles in a way.
The problem of the boat seems to be solved, so a new one comes: what about maintenance?
Ethan, who had a headache, decided to put this problem aside first, and continued to work step by step in the following days. He had been living on this island for half a year, and when he felt that the island began to vibrate, Ethan began to pack up his things. ready to leave.
"Well……"
When Xiao Ou saw that Ethan wanted to take him away, he was very reluctant. He squatted there and kept acting cute and coquettish, as if he wanted to convince Ethan to stay.
"The island is about to sink, and if you stay, you will drown. Do you want to be the food for those guys in the sea?"
"Well……"
It is a good thing to have wisdom, at least to be able to communicate, the little thing understands that it will not end well if he stays, and agrees to leave with Ethan in dejection.
Just before leaving, the little thing kept beckoning Ethan to follow, then led him to an unremarkable place, and kept gesturing to Ethan: "Dig!"
"Dig here?"
Ethan walked back and forth a few times and found that there was nothing unusual about this place. To say the most special place is that this is the most desolate place on the island.
No trees, no ore, just frozen hard ground.
Touching his chin, it seems that this situation is not normal. On an island full of trees and ores, there is nothing here, which is the biggest abnormality in itself.
Looking left and right, Ethan carefully compared the surrounding distances, and was surprised to find that he happened to be standing at a central point. The surrounding trees and minerals perfectly avoided this area, and the distances from front to back, left and right were all consistent, forming a perfect circle.
"interesting."
Ethan needs to dig some magic stones from time to time in the past six months, so he carries the tools for digging with him.
One dig is a week.
The number of vibrations is increasing, and the frequency is getting faster and faster. By this day, there will be obvious vibrations almost every short period of time.
"Another hour of digging and we'll have to go with or without."
Xiao Ou has been clinging to Ethan's shoulder, staring at the direction of Ethan's digging. Hearing Ethan's words, he stood up and patted his chest with his small paw: Believe me!
"..."
Ethan looked at the little thing's movements, shook his head speechlessly, and continued to dig. After digging for a little longer, the feeling of the vibration became stronger, and it happened every moment. Ethan had to leave. Unexpectedly, the little thing suddenly jumped off his shoulders and digged frantically on the ground.
He walked over and grabbed the little thing, and just as he was about to leave, Ethan felt a slight fluctuation from the ground.
"what?"
Ethan is cultivating magic power recently. He has always avoided using his mental power to detect any energy. He often wears the pair of exploration glasses on his eyes, but even if he has passively felt a trace of energy fluctuations, there are still no hints on the glasses.
"what is this?"
He put Xiao Ou on his shoulders, and then dug a thing the size of a watermelon out of the ground with both hands.
"Meow!"
A cat meow sounded from the shoulder, conveying a very clear meaning: "Run!"
