by adminThe sound of water boiling began to be heard.
“Do you really believe this will work?”
McColson looked at this and asked a question.
“…Let’s see first.”
An electric motor connected to a steam engine.
If there are no problems with the motor design, electricity will flow from the motor.
And, that thing between the two wires extending from the motor.
That wire, which is rolled up like the coil of an electronic cigarette, will turn red due to resistance.
“…”
Whether it is sufficiently heated, the steam engine rotates and the driving part of the electric motor also rotates.
-Wooow…
After confirming that it was running well, the two checked the coil.
“…When can I check it?”
McColson, who had been waiting for a moment, opened his mouth.
“Wait…”
Just as Brown was urging him to speak, the color of the coil began to change.
“…is it done?”
“…right.”
It slowly turned blue and smoked, then heated up to red.
This proved that electricity flows.
“This is so…”
“This is it.”
I didn’t know it would happen all at once.
Brown was impressed by McColson’s dexterity.
McColson turned his head and asked after hearing Brown’s words.
“Isn’t that what you said? I can’t believe this is happening.”
“I didn’t know it would happen all at once…be careful!”
“Why but?”
McColson was trying to touch the wire.
“Well… what happens if a person is struck by lightning?”
“…If you don’t go to a church or a doctor quickly, there is a high probability that you will die.”
“Yes. In my opinion, electricity has a similar property to lightning.”
“Hmm….”
Brown almost witnessed a historic moment.
It was a situation that could have been recorded in history as the first electrocution death.
Of course, the electricity generated by that motor may be enough to kill a person.
Still, there was no harm in preparing for the danger.
McColson said, biting his hand with a shocked expression.
“…Anyway, if you turn that thing, electricity comes out, and if you pass electricity to that thing, it turns around.”
“That’s right.”
“…How did you figure this out?”
I learned it in class at school.
“…I also found out by chance.”
“…Okay. Skipping that, what do you think the principle is?”
Brown organized his thoughts to explain the principle to him.
and…
“My guess is that the coil rotates and disrupts the power of the magnet, and through this, electricity is produced. Conversely, when electricity flows, the coil becomes magnetic and rotates.”
“So, do you know why the coil rotates, disrupting the power of the magnet, and producing electricity?”
When did you graduate?
Do you even remember that?
Brown was wondering how to answer his question.
He immediately opened his mouth.
“Let’s find out about that now. Isn’t it more interesting than that? A new power source called electricity.”
“That’s true, but…”
“I think it will take up much less space than a steam engine. What can we make with electricity? First of all, I think I can make a light emitting source that can replace a candle, and I think I can also record or emit sound. This is just my imagination, but I think we can create a machine that can do calculations for humans. Ahaha.”
“Like the previous magic engineering?”
The steam engine has become a new power source that replaced magic stones in magic engineering.
However, it is limited to magic engineering machines.
It was impossible to install a steam engine on small tools or other things.
Therefore, magical engineering tools have not yet been replaced.
“Yes. You may also need to store electricity. Let’s start by organizing things first.”
Brown left McColson looking dumbfounded and organized the experiment materials.
McColson also thought as he organized the experiment materials.
‘What is this guy…’
Everything he says is innovative.
The steam engine had already replaced the magic stone and was establishing itself as an axis of magic engineering.
The weapons he created were also rapidly replacing the weapons of existing soldiers.
Plus electricity and motors.
I don’t know how this will change the empire in the future.
McColson guessed that it was a much more advanced form of steam engine.
After the cleanup was completed, Brown opened his mouth.
“More than that, shouldn’t we now be thinking about how to use that electricity safely? I think that each material may or may not conduct electricity well. Basically, all metals seem to flow. Maybe we should check this first, right? It looks like the wires will also need to be wrapped with something. You should also pay attention to safety.”
“Hmm…that too.”
“Yes. For now, let’s think about it step by step.”
Brown and McColson.
They studied electricity with their successors.
However, the research did not last long.
“Yes. Let’s start with the presentation.”
The number of personnel in the weapons laboratory was small, and their tasks were separate.
That’s why they chose to hand it over to magic engineering academia.
“Wouldn’t it yield better results if more people researched it?”
“I agree. Let’s throw it into the magic engineering world.”
Soon, information was announced that would cause tension in the lax magic engineering community.
“Damn, it’s the weapons lab again.”
“So what is the content?”
“An announcement about something called electricity.”
“Hmm… They say that an electric motor can make electricity and can be used as power like a steam engine.”
“Following the steam engine, electricity…this is also interesting.”
“So what is the principle?”
“The coil between two magnets rotates and creates electricity, or when current flows through the coil, magnetism…”
“According to the theory, it means that a power source has been developed that takes up much less volume than a steam engine.”
The announcement quickly spread throughout the empire’s magic engineering academic circles.
“Hmm…if the theory goes, it is a much more advanced form of power source than a steam engine…”
“There will be a lot to research in the future. How can we use this electricity…”
“First, I need to check the power of the electric motor.”
“Shouldn’t we also check for materials that conduct electricity?”
“Yes. First of all, they say that metals such as copper wire and wire conduct electricity. Same with trees. But the sample is small…”
“First, let’s start with the formula for electricity…”
“The principle is written down, but hmm…maybe I should think about it more…”
“The power output is not constant. To solve this…”
The magical engineering community soon began researching electricity.
“…This time too, the response from the magical engineering community is enthusiastic. Many people are researching electricity.”
“Good.”
“But isn’t it a pity? If we had had enough people and time to research, we would have monopolized the results in electricity.”
As McColson said, it was unfortunate.
If, in Brown’s memories of his past life, he had even half of the knowledge related to electricity and firearms.
He would have been able to monopolize all of these achievements.
Still, the discovery of electricity and the invention of an electric motor that could produce it or transmit power were also sufficient achievements.
Moreover, if many people research, technology will develop much faster.
“But it’s not bad.”
“That’s right too.”
The magic engineering community recognized their contributions, and commendations (and huge rewards) were scheduled for a few days later.
Time passed quickly, and the day soon arrived.
“To John Brown and Kyle McColson for the discovery of electricity and the invention of the electric motor that could produce it or convert it into power…”
After receiving the commendation, time was given to share your thoughts.
‘I thought I would use it after learning it, but I should have studied harder.’
Instead of using phrases that came to mind, Brown expressed his feelings in a formal way.
“Thank you. I would also like to give this credit to Kyle McColson and the weapons lab staff who helped…”
McColson’s remarks were concluded, and the banquet soon began.
“Nice to meet you. A scholar of magic engineering…”
“Looking at your age, I think you would make a good pair with my daughter…”
“I’m also researching something new, do you have any advice…”
Brown and McColson were in the middle of a conversation, greeting scholars who approached them.
“Nice to meet you. I am Edmund Carno, a scholar of magic engineering.”
“Hello…”
“Hello!”
McColson, who was next to him, reacted excessively, unlike before.
“Haha. Don’t be so mean.”
“I respect you!”
There’s no way this guy would bow down this much.
Brown’s concerns were soon resolved.
“He is the most respected professor in current magical engineering academia.”
McColson said quietly.
“Yes. John Brown and Kyle McColson. Thanks to your contributions, magic engineering technology is improving day by day. I am always grateful.”
“Thank you for your kind comments!”
“So, are you interested in working with me?”
“That means…”
“Yes. Would you like to work together at the research center I run?”
To his suggestion, Brown and McColson had mixed reactions.
The first to speak was John Brown.
“…I’m sorry.”
I don’t know anything about magic engineering, so what can I do by working with him?
He expressed his regret and asked McColson.
“What about you?”
“I…”
***
“Why didn’t you do it?”
“Don’t ask. I also regret it.”
By going to his research institute, I was able to secure my connections and career.
But McColson chose to stay at the weapons lab.
I couldn’t give up on the beans falling next to Brown.
