In the open space below the White Castle embankment, an odd-looking beast lay on the ground.
It had a lizard-like metal head, with two eye holes chiselled out on the left and right sides of the skull, four long horns on top of the head, and a neck and spine that extended back to form a complete, wide body, all of which was cast in brass.
Down is a curved ribs unfolding towards the sides, two rows of ribs evenly and orderly from the spine towards the sides of the bow, forming two rows of curved bridges on the ground.
The beast’s limbs were straightened and pointed in all four directions, the brass was forged into a piece by piece skeletal pattern that joined into one piece to complete the closure of the carapace.
It also had two sets of wing bones on its dorsal spine, humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, and phalanges one and all, all of which were spread out flat on the ground as if they were specimens held in place by nails.
Lastly, there was a copper tailbone, pointing straight up in the opposite direction of the head.
Around the behemoth there were rings and rings of stone piled up in circular steps, and on these rings several wooden framing platforms were erected, which served as co-ordinates for fixing the position of the keel.
The Brass Hearth Dragon looked like a specimen of a dragon that had been crushed and flattened, its bones spread evenly across the ground.
To say that it is not a dragon, but according to some kind of dragon’s skeleton to be faithfully restored.
But if we say it is a dragon, this almost cracked appearance is really a bit difficult.
Lu Yao was reminiscent of the Wheaten Circle.
In order to make this Brass Furnace Dragon, Fellows had specially invited Pasha from the Dragon Nest as a dragon advisor.
Realising that he could temporarily evade the Dragon Blood Ritual, Pasha immediately rushed over.
The metal dragon beast fixed to the ground was precisely modelled on the structure of the Ember Sun’s Dragon in an equal ratio, including the skeletal structure, the proportional size of each part, all of which were guaranteed to be faithful to the prototype.
It was just that it was obviously impossible to bring this dragon to life.
The White Castle scholars decided to directly lay it flat on the ground, which not only facilitated subsequent modifications and repairs, but also made it easier to conduct experiments.
Looking at the imitation on the ground, Pasha’s head had a sweating expression, “Is this a bit ……”
Apostle Fellows said on the side, “I’m really sorry, the technical ability is limited, the finished product doesn’t look good. But after the pottery pieces are covered, the brass furnace dragon will be much more normal. What you see here is the internal structure.”
“As long as we are given time, we will definitely be able to make a more simulated Brass Hearth Dragon in the future.”
A thought floated in Pasha’s head.
“This iron guy looks like I was flayed alive by my enemies after I died …… What a tragic end to die.”
“Forget it, let’s just train properly first ……”
After saying goodbye to Fellows, Pasha lifted his wings and flew to the north.
In order to understand this new invention specifically, Lu Yao opened the Golden Wilderness and checked the backstage words.
……
Unlike the pixelated roughness of its appearance, the construction of the Brass Hearth Dragon united the skills and brilliant ideas of the Yao Clan how various fields.
The entire body of the Brass Hearth Dragon’s skeleton was made of brass, which ensured that the skeleton had a certain degree of ductility and flexibility, and could be replaced in a timely manner if it was broken, and the metal had a certain degree of resistance to blows.
The surface layer of the keel is covered by a piece of ceramic tiles, which can protect the keel from wind and rain, avoid rusting, and ensure that the operation inside is not affected by the external environment.
Further in are the wood-built arches and the dragon’s body, which are the muscles of this one giant device, linking the outer ceramic skin to the bones inside and protecting the more central core structure.
Within the arches and the dragon’s body was a single glass tube, which interlocked with each other and formed the dragon’s blood channels.
There had been serious disagreements within the White Castle about this.
The engineers believed that glass was too fragile to be the material of choice for the important parts, and that a more stable and reliable metal, or pottery, should be chosen as a replacement.
The potion scholars insisted on using glass, and they had a specific reason for doing so.
Glass was better airtight, and allowed for the most intuitive observation of the flow of artificial dragon blood within, both to readily detect malfunctions, and to accomplish the all-important quantification of the height and flow rate of the blood within the tubes.
The final solution was determined to be predominantly glass, but with copper used in place of localised high pressure and support areas.
Artificial dragon blood was poured into the glass vessels, following the previous scheme.
The fire vapour furnaces were cast as the heart of the brass furnace dragons.
Sixteen fire vapour furnaces, divided into four groups, worked without interruption, emitting water vapour to propel the artificial dragon’s blood back and forth through the many veins to confirm that the spell could be cast at the ends of the bones on either side.
When Dragon Spells are cast, the operator needs to stand in the casting position, holding the handle of the dragon bone in his hand, so that the sound can be transmitted and driven through the bone.
The so-called Spellcasting Spots are the ring of stone circular steps around the Brass Hearth Dragon, which are crafted from all-powerful stone, which are not only the keel coordinates, but also the individual Spellcasting Spots.
Standing at different spell casting bits, one needed to chant different dragon language spells. This was an effective means that Long Ji had come up with after repeated attempts, and casting spells through the omnipotent stone spell casting bits would increase the stability of the spells.
The caster stood on the spell casting bit and used the dragon bone as the directional coordinates, using the artificial dragon blood that surrounded the dragon bone as fuel, and ultimately using the dragon bone to complete the unfolding of the spell.
This brass furnace dragon was like an automatic beverage machine, pressing different switches, all kinds of beverages flowed out from multiple outlets.
As long as there is a large enough reserve of artificial dragon blood, the 8 surrounding spell casting positions can be used to cast spells at the same time, greatly increasing the efficiency of spell experimentation.
The drawbacks of the Brass Furnace Dragon were obvious: it was bulky, fragile, immovable, and required many people to maintain it; the spell casting process was cumbersome, and the only spells confirmed to be able to be successfully unfolded were the [Spell of Psionics] and the [Spell of Stamina].
However, it was also a feat created by the Yao civilisation by fusing traditional natural knowledge and transcendental cognition.
The rudimentary structure of the Brass Hearth Dragon sent ordinary people into the heavens, allowing mankind to look down upon the lofty spells of the past and begin to touch this dangerous yet fascinating star.
Even a young child could complete the spell casting by reciting the spell incantation and following the relevant process.
After the completion of the artificial dragon plan, the people of White Castle did not leave, but further refined and modified the clumsy spell monster.
In the spell casting position, the scholars launched a spell experiment.
Lu Yao also saw the effects of [Spell of Endurance] for the first time.
……
Spell of Endurance]: A Dragon Language spell that briefly grants the target the [Endurance] trait, the duration of which depends on blood consumption. The spell is cast by sacrificing a portion of blood.
……
Lu Yao couldn’t help but think.
No wonder the dragon race had huge bodies, the stronger the Dragon Language Spell, the more dragon blood it might consume.
Big means strong, and big is beautiful, this is the aesthetics of the dragon race.
Lu Yao clicked on the Brass Hearth Dragon.
……
[Brass Hearth Dragon]: A spell device created by the Yao Clan, using artificial dragon blood as fuel and brass bones as casting coordinates to unfold spell effects through the casting position.
Life: 1012/1012
Mana: 71/506
Damage: 0
Defence: 10
Speed: 4
Spell of Psionics] (36 mana)
[Spell of Endurance] (36/72/144 mana)
……
Brass Hearth Dragons were slow to cast spells, with the advantage of being adaptable and having clear and explicit manufacturing standards.
It was difficult for the Yao Clan to give birth to another Salt Long, but the Yao Clan could create many Brass Hearth Dragons in the future to set up and develop spells in different cities.
Lu Yao took a sip of hot water.
Even now, he felt a bit incredulous.
The birth of the Fire Vapour Furnace had been an unexpected blessing, and he hadn’t expected the subsequent development to be so rapid.
In the past two epochs, the Yao Race’s development had been steady and there were quite a few outstanding inventions, but in this third epoch there was a blowout-like explosion of creativity, directly accelerating the Yao Race’s civilisation from the past walking on foot directly to riding on a vehicle.
The fire steam furnace, the fire steam printing and dyeing, the textile machine, the printing art, the land boat road, the dragon language, and the brass furnace dragon …… every one of them is a heavyweight.
This acceleration has not yet stopped, and all the pixel villains are excited by touching the unknown territory, running wildly on the route of exploring the unknown and expanding civilisation.
Lu Yao was relaxed.
In the past, he had been pondering over how to advance the pixel civilisation, but now it was good that he was completely in the unknown territory, so he didn’t have to think much about it himself.
The inner cycle of the civilisation had basically been formed and stabilised, so his main operation should be on the outer cycle.
Lu Yao began to formally conceptualise whether he could build a city in Yunzhong Temple and open up a silk road with the Pixel Ghost Realm and the Bamboo and Reed Kingdom.
He still had an eye for the Bamboo People, the Reed People and the Funeral Race.
A few moments later, a new alert popped up in the simulator.
[Shang Xun invented the Fire Vapour Carriage.]
[Because of the appearance of the Fire Vapour Carriage, the Yao Clan has developed a fervent admiration for you, and their beliefs have been drastically boosted.]
[The Yao tribe has started a new round of cultural fervour.]
The upper right corner shows that faith has increased by 437,801 points, directly pulling the faith reserve to 21.66 million.
From the sound of the name, it seems to be a vehicle made by the Fire Vapour Furnace?
But this thing had more influence than the Brass Furnace Dragon?
Lu Yao calmly took a sip of water, but he still couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
You guys, you always manage to give me a whole new twist.
