Chapter 437 Chapter 438

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just ask me directly." Rhodes was taken aback when he heard the words of the chief scholar.

"We don't understand the above knowledge at all. How do we know where to ask? You should ask someone to go back and get it." The chief scholar shook his head.

It seems that the reason why Mina left the tower just now should be to go out to find the soldiers near the ruins and let them carry out this task.

Before Rhodes could speak, Alvin disappeared behind him. It was no need to guess that he should have gone to Rhodes' study to fetch those books.

Rhodes closed his eyes, used the magic ball, and carefully observed the green ring in front of him with mental power.

"Is the function of this magic power core to store a large amount of magic power, and also automatically absorb the energy in the environment and convert it into magic power for storage?" Rhodes asked after opening his eyes.

The chief scholar nodded: "We have already figured out the functions of the magic power core, but we still don't know how it converts magic power into the power of these mechanical giants."

Rhodes walked to a disassembled mechanical giant, the magic core should have been dismantled from it.

He used the mage ball again to study the structure of this mechanical giant.

Not long after, he opened his eyes and said excitedly, "I know how these mechanical giants move!"

"How did it move?" A bachelor whom Rhodes had never seen came over and asked.

He looked very scruffy, with stinky clothes and hair like a bird's nest.

Rhodes found that there was a device filled with a lot of liquid next to the magic core on the mechanical giant.

He feels like the magic power core outputs magic power, heats the liquid in that device, and then moves the mechanical giant through some mechanical device similar to a steam engine.

Rhodes explained his conjecture to the surrounding bachelors.

"We know that there are a lot of liquids in that device, and we have also previously studied that these liquids will become hot when they come into contact with magic power, but even if it is hotter, how can the heat be converted into the power of these machines?

Just like you keep heating a piece of metal, even if you heat it until it is completely melted, it will not move by itself, let alone move other things. said the very scruffy maester.

"Have you ever boiled water? If the water is boiled, the steam from the kettle can push the lid up? The magic core of this mechanical giant is to use this principle to make it move." Rhodes explained.

The bachelors around showed a look of sudden realization, maybe they have never boiled water themselves before, so they didn't expect this.

Rhodes thought about it again, and felt that even the servants in their family might not have boiled water. After all, people in this world drink raw water directly, even if they need hot water for bathing, they don't need to boil the water.

After solving this problem, there is still a very critical issue about the magic core, and that is how to activate it.

The reason why Rhodes didn't drive the mechanical giant before was not that he didn't know how to make the magic core, nor that he didn't know how the magic core made the mechanical giant move, but that he didn't know how to activate the magic core.

Since he shut down the defense system in the ruins, these mechanical giants have never been activated again.

"Have you figured out how to activate these magic cores?" Rhodes asked suddenly, interrupting the thoughts of the still thinking bachelors.

"Not yet. I originally thought that if we could analyze its structure, we would be able to activate them. But now I can even create an identical magic core, but I still don't know how to activate it." Chief Grand Maester shook shook his head.

This is very embarrassing.

Rhodes looked at the ring emitting green light in front of him, thinking about how to turn it from the standby state to the open state.

Do you need the blood of the Macan people?
This shouldn't be the reason, and Mina couldn't activate these magic cores either.

"Have you figured out the magic core, what is the function of each part?" Rhodes asked.

"Not yet. We haven't seen all the runes on it, so we haven't figured it out yet." The scruffy-looking bachelor replied.

Rhodes felt a little speechless. It turned out that what they said could manufacture these magic cores was really only manufacturing, and they could only make an identical one according to this.

He felt that there must be a magic circle related to the opening on this magic core, as long as it is modified, for example, it will be kept in the open state all the time.

"Why don't you try to activate the defense system of this ruin? See what is the difference between the magic cores of these mechanical giants when they are activated?" Rhode suggested, he didn't want to make his trip in vain.

"You can try it, but do you know how to activate the defense system here?" asked the chief scholar.

"I know where the main control room is. I don't know how to activate the defense system, but you can try it slowly." Rhodes replied. Although it has been so long, he still remembers the room where Mina stayed for tens of thousands of years. This is the main control room of the ruins.

"Take me there now." The Chief Grand Maester nodded.

"Are you afraid of heights?" Rhodes asked.

"Don't be afraid." Before the chief maester finished speaking, Rhodes grabbed him and lifted him up to the ventilation duct above his head.

Not long after, the two arrived at the main control room of the ruins.

"I feel it. If you stay here, you can use your mental power to control the mechanism in this ruin." The chief scholar said with his eyes closed.

Rhodes also closed his eyes, and the tower completely appeared in his mind, and he could see the current scene of any place in the tower at the same time.

He thought about it carefully, and he remembered that he didn't seem to see so many cameras in this high tower.

"It should be that someone tampered with the runes on the magic power cores here, causing some problems with them, so we have been unable to activate them." The chief bachelor said again, "I didn't expect to be able to remotely change some of the runes here. A rune engraved on the magic core."

It should have been done by the King of Assassins. At that time, he should have used this method to destroy the defense system in the ruins.

"Can it be recovered?" Rhodes asked.

"Each magic power core has been partially modified, and I need to compare the same parts of them." The chief maester opened his eyes: "Okay, it has been restored."

The next moment, Rhodes found himself back in that hall again.

"This high tower is actually a part of a war fortress. We can teleport from that main control room to any corner of this high tower." The Chief Grand Maester explained.

Rhodes didn't listen carefully to what the Chief Grand Maester said just now, all his attention was focused on the circle in front of him that was constantly emitting brilliant blue light.

You can open Gundam in the future!
