After Transmigrating to Become the Daughter of a Duke, I Just Want to Pursue a Career

At this moment, on the opposite side of the cloaked man, a blond young man was stretching his arms with a grin, allowing the middle-aged woman dressed as a therapist beside him to fiddle with them wantonly.

I don't know how long it took, as the white light in the middle-aged woman's hand gradually disappeared, the blond young man breathed out a deep breath as if he had finished a torture, and then, he glanced at the cloaked man with a serious expression opposite him After that, he pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile,

"Mr. Amos, don't be so stern. Look, I'm fine. It's just a small injury. Besides, there is Sister Nuojia here. It's not a big deal at all."

"So, can you stop staring at me like that? I'm a little flustered."

"......" At this moment, the cloaked man was silent for a long time when he heard the words of the blond-haired young man. Finally, after a long sigh, the cloaked man called Amos spoke calmly. open the mouth,

"Your Highness, I hope you will not take such risks in the future. This matter is a very serious matter."

"I have to say that you were very lucky this time, if it wasn't for me being right behind you, if it wasn't for the girl's omen being too obvious when she started doing it, if it wasn't for the large number of trees that effectively buffered and offset the girl's magic... …”

"As long as that terrible magic turns a little bit more, I'm afraid we won't be able to talk so easily now."

Regarding Amos' seemingly calm statement, the blond young man who was checking the condition of his shoulders smiled leisurely after hearing the sound,

"Teacher Amos, what happened this time was really an accident, there's no need to take it too seriously...... um~"

At this point, it seems that he felt something, the indifferent attitude of the blond youth suddenly stopped, and then he instinctively raised his head, and found that at some point, the aura of the person opposite him was becoming extremely oppressive.

After a moment of distraction, the blond young man waved his hands and changed his words decisively,

"Okay, Teacher Amos, I admit my mistake. I will try my best to follow your arrangement in the future, and I won't take risks like today again."

Hearing the blond youth's answer, Amos seemed a little dissatisfied, but his gloomy face was much better, at least the oppressive pressure had disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the changes in Amos, the blond youth quickly changed the subject with a smile,

"Mr. Amos, you just met that girl. I want to know, what do you think of that little lioness from Aldan's family?"

At this moment, when he heard the question from the blond youth, Amos, who was holding a long sword, instinctively remembered the special "communication" just now, and after raising his eyebrows, he responded in a deep voice,

"That is a cunning, cruel, crazy, cold-blooded, and fearless little girl. Thirteen years of civilian life have polluted her blood. Maybe Duke Aldan needs to carry out a thorough purification of her before she can be purged." Bring it back to the right path!"

"Oh~~" After hearing the evaluation given by Amos, the blond young man squinted his eyes as if he had heard something interesting, and then clapped his hands and said with a smile,

"Mr. Amos, I didn't expect you to give such a high evaluation to a 14-year-old girl. It seems that the little lioness is indeed an interesting person~ "

At this moment, seeing the smiling face of the blond-haired young man, Amos suddenly shrank his pupils slightly, and immediately became vigilant like a beast that had discovered a crisis.

"Your Highness, I must advise you, please don't set your sights on that girl, she is definitely not suitable for you!"

Faced with Amos's sudden warning, the blond young man was subconsciously stunned, until he realized what the other party meant, he couldn't help laughing,

"Hehe, Teacher Amos, why do you think I'm interested in a 14-year-old girl?"

"Do you think I am the kind of person with special eccentricities? This is really sad~"

Hearing the blond young man's answer, Amos breathed a sigh of relief first, but he still seemed a little uneasy. He warned again in a deep voice,

"Your Highness, don't blame me for talking too much. In any case, that girl's character is destined to make her a qualified wife."

"It must be admitted that in terms of personal ability, she is very good, even better than most adult nobles. That girl has noble blood flowing through her body, giving her a natural power that surpasses most people. Ever since she reached the peak of swordsmanship I've never been threatened with success since, and she did it perfectly."

"Even I have to admit that if we were opponents, she would be a very formidable opponent."

"However, being excellent in ability doesn't change the fact that that girl's character is quite bad. She is not qualified to be the crown prince, let alone the queen of the Pusid Empire, so you'd better not provoke her."

At this moment, looking at Amos with an extremely dignified face, as if he was facing some extremely important matter, the blond young man sitting opposite him couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. Finally, after waving his hand, he looked Reluctantly replied,

"Teacher Amos, are you thinking too much?"

"My visit to Florida this time is entirely for the benefit of the empire. That girl has something that the empire urgently needs, and my purpose is to obtain the most favorable negotiation result for the empire."

"In this process, she is my opponent. How could I have thought about that?"

At this point, as if thinking of something, the blond young man looked at Amos, and suddenly became weird.

"By the way, Teacher Amos, why do you have such thoughts?"

"No matter how good she is, she is just a 14-year-old girl, not even an adult, and I am already 25, and there is a full 11-year-old difference between us. If you don't say it, I really haven't thought about it."

"This is very strange. Do you think that she and I are actually a good match in your heart?"

At this moment, Amos was stunned by the blond young man's rhetorical question. He instinctively began to think about why he had such worries. In a daze, he seemed to see those blue eyes again, and immediately, a scene The scene suddenly appeared in his mind...

In the magnificent palace, a long and bright red carpet was laid all the way from the outside of the palace to the throne of the palace. Countless nobles stood on both sides of the red carpet with serious expressions, as if they were waiting for someone to come.

Suddenly, a burst of joyful performance sounded melodiously in the palace, and when the tone of the music was at its climax, a pair of figures, surrounded by several court servants, slowly walked from outside the palace .

When the team approached, take a closer look, and there is a man and a woman standing at the front of the team. The man has a crown on his head and holds a scepter in his hand. His golden hair shines brightly under the illumination of the magic lamp. The woman is wearing a wedding dress. Holding flowers in one hand, he walked hand in hand with the man in a noble manner.

As the two walked up to the throne and sat down amidst the blessings of countless people, the woman's eyes suddenly burst into a cyan light, that light was so strong that it drowned everything like a monstrous tsunami... …

"Whoo~"

After a period of trance, as if frightened by the scene imagined in his heart, Amos's chest heaved rapidly for a while, but soon, when he saw the blond man facing him looking at him with strange eyes At that time, he quickly lowered his head, and then, as if he was covering up something, he said in a low tone,

"In any case, it's good that His Highness knows well."

Facing Amos' strange behavior, the blond man's brows flashed with some doubts, but he didn't think too much about it. After confirming that Amos had no problem, he asked his teacher about the problem again in a serious manner. matter.

This time, Amos didn't give any further advice. Whenever the blond man asked any questions, he answered them honestly, and never did anything superfluous.

And just between the question and the answer, the scene in his heart just now appeared in front of Amos again. Although his reason told him that the two people in the scene should not stand on the same land, somehow, when When Amos put the two of them together subconsciously, he always felt an unexpected harmony, as if it should be so.

Thinking of this, Amos looked up at the blond young man in front of him. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing......

............................................

At the same time, in the magic laboratory located in the basement of the villa area, Katerina, the main character in Amos's inner phantom, was wearing a special protective suit and fiddled with the equipment in front of him.Beside her is the old mage Victor, and several magicians dressed like her. In addition, at the edge of the laboratory, Celia and several knights are standing in uniform.

Originally, there should only be professionals in the laboratory, but because of the raid just now, the person in charge of the manor's defense work did not dare to let Katerina stay "unprepared" before the arrival of support forces. In the laboratory, so there is a situation of knights standing guard at the edge of the laboratory.

Victor, the titular owner of the laboratory, has a lot of opinions about this situation, but Katerina said it doesn't matter, because the experimental project she is currently facing is the [Magic Energy Reactor].

In the girl's follow-up plan, the [Magic Energy Reactor] is like a steam engine, which is the key to open the door to the industrial age. From the moment it was developed, it is doomed to be in a relatively harsh working environment in many cases middle.And this puts forward a hard requirement for the instrument......... the leather is durable.

If the [Magic Energy Reactor] can't do this after it walks out of the laboratory, then the so-called industrialization is nothing but a spectacle in the water.

Therefore, it is no problem for Katerina to stand a few more people in the laboratory.

At this moment, Katerina and Victor are carefully observing the various changes in the running [Magic Energy Reactor] in front of her.

Because of the lack of convenient and effective detection equipment, Katerina and Victor were standing quite close to the equipment at this time.

According to the safety rules, this is a very dangerous behavior, because the green liquid stored in the main water tank of the [Magic Energy Reactor] is a liquid named [Smelting Crystal Liquid] in the magic world , it is mainly produced in the body of a dangerous monster that lives near the volcano—the molten crystal lizard. Whenever it encounters danger or needs to hunt, the molten crystal lizard will eject a large amount of [hot melting] from its body. Crystal Liquid], and then rely on the deadly high temperature carried by the [Molting Crystal Liquid] to cause terrifying damage to the enemy.

As for why this dangerous liquid appears in the main water tank of the [Magic Energy Reactor], it is because the liquid has some very magical characteristics. It can absorb a large amount of water without significantly changing its own volume and quality. And lock the absorbed heat for a long time, and it is insoluble in water.

It is precisely because of the unique characteristics of [Smoldering Crystal Liquid] that the [Magic Energy Reactor] was born.

The working principle of the [Magic Energy Reactor] is actually very simple. First, the main water tank is filled with [Burning Crystal Liquid], and then a special channel is set up for the injection of cooling water.

When the [Burning Melting Crystal Liquid] is "heated" in a certain way, the cooling water will enter the main water tank through a special channel in a circular manner, and the cooling water entering the main water tank will be heated at the high temperature of the [Bringing Melting Crystal Liquid] Under conduction, it will be boiled quickly and turned into water vapor.

Finally, the [Magic Energy Reactor] will collect the generated water vapor, and then use it to drive the machine.

Does this process feel familiar?

That's right, the working principle of the [Magic Energy Reactor] is actually exactly the same as that of a nuclear power plant, which is to tightly restrain the most violent energy and then use it to boil water.

As for why Katerina chose to use such a troublesome and extremely dangerous method to make the most basic steam power core required for early industrialization, the reason is very simple... .....

This world is without coal and oil!

ps: After thinking for a long time, the author finally figured out the main elements of the industrialization of magic, happy

Chapter 84 81. Celia, you are a genius!

As fuels that can stably provide a large amount of energy for industrial production activities and are relatively cheap, the significance of coal and oil to industrial development is self-evident. It can even be said that without coal and oil, there would be no early industrial revolution. The subsequent use of new energy is even more of a phantom.

A long time ago, Katerina had always been curious about why there was no sign of industrial civilization in the magical world she lived in that also had a history of thousands of years.

It wasn't until Katerina personally started to promote the industrialization of the world that she was surprised to find that there was no coal or oil in this magical world.

Of course, similar things do exist, but either the output is extremely scarce and cannot support the industrialization of civilization at all, or the properties are not up to standard and cannot replace the functions of coal and oil at all.

After discovering that coal and oil did not exist in the world, Katerina was once very disappointed, because her follow-up industrialization plan could not be carried out because of the lack of these two most important energy materials in the industrialization process.

Fortunately, after all, there is still a road to heaven.

After a lot of hard work, Katerina finally succeeded in finding a substitute for coal and oil——【Magic Crystal】.

Magic crystal is a kind of transparent and colored crystal ore, which will be enriched in large quantities in the node area of ​​each earth vein magic flow, and finally form magic crystal ore.

In the magic world, magic crystals have always been considered as a solid form of magic energy, which can release a large amount of magic energy after activation, and are generally used to provide energy for magic props.

However, unlike coal and oil, magic crystal is not suitable as the main energy source for industrial production activities. There are three main reasons. …

First of all, as an associated product after the surge of the earth's veins, although the stock of magic crystals in the world is not low, its output is relatively rare.

This is because the scope of application of magic crystals is extremely narrow, basically only magicians will use them, and the profession of magicians is relatively rare in human society due to its particularity, and it does not consume many magic crystals at all, thus making human society Difficulty generating sufficient production momentum.

Secondly, before special treatment, the raw magic crystal ore will release harmful energy to the surroundings like nuclear radiation, and the higher the enrichment area of ​​the magic crystal ore, the greater the harm the harmful energy released will cause to the human body .

This makes the mining process of the magic crystal mine very difficult. Ordinary miners cannot participate in the mining work at all. If they want to obtain magic crystal ore, they can only be mined by professionals who have the ability to resist harmful energy.

What is a professional?

To put it bluntly, it is the magician himself.

The magic crystals currently circulating in the market are often the product of missions issued by various magician associations to their members, and they cannot be scaled up like coal and oil mining.

As a result, the cost of mining magic crystal ore has become extremely high, and of course, the price of magic crystal in the market is also ridiculously high, making it unsuitable to be the main energy source supporting industrialization.

Finally, and most importantly, the existence of the magic energy in the magic crystal is very unstable. Once activated, the whole process cannot be reversed or terminated.

With the current general use method used by magicians, the moment the magic crystal is activated, the magic energy stored in the magic crystal will be released quickly. It cannot provide stable energy output like coal and oil. If the magic crystal is directly Converting the magic energy into kinetic energy will not only cause a lot of energy waste, but also provide a serious shortage of energy.

Based on the above three points, energy crystals like magic crystals are not suitable as a power source for industrialization.

After realizing the characteristics of the magic crystal, Katerina did not set her sights on the magic crystal at first, until one day, Katerina accidentally learned about the molten crystal lizard from a book about monsters. After the existence of [Scorching Crystal Liquid], she suddenly had a bold idea......

Since the original coal-fueled steam engine cannot be built, why not directly study the "nuclear power" steam engine?

The girl's way of thinking seems stupid. After all, when products with lower technological levels have not been produced, it is impossible to succeed no matter how you look at the higher-level technological tree.

However, this seemingly unworkable idea finally made Katerina successful. In the absence of the original steam engine, Katerina completed the research structure of the "nuclear-powered" steam engine first.

The reason for this weird result is very simple...... This is the magical world.
