Volume 2: Empire Chapter 135 Steam Weekly
“I saw that you have your own unique insights into the duality of water molecules , which is very inspiring.
Could you explain your theory to us in more detail so that we can have a deeper understanding of your research on the duality of water molecules?
It would be even better if we could feel your achievements more intuitively. ”
Editor-in-Chief Morson was once the president of the Steam Engineers Association and is now the editor-in-chief of Steam Weekly. He has a very solid knowledge structure in the field of steam technology and he asked a question that went straight to the point right from the start.
Fortunately, Luke was well prepared, and Qingkong was also concentrating on mobilizing the mental library in the backstage to look up information and take notes.
So Luke began to answer after a little thought.
“I think the mainstream steam academic understanding of the duality of water molecules is biased. It is an imprecise understanding that the thermal phase and weak thermal phase of water molecules have different thermal energy absorption rates. Through some experiments, I found that the same unit of heat energy has different expansion rates after being combined by the thermal phase and weak thermal phase of water molecules.
Because I want to use the thermal phase and weak thermal phase of water molecules to conduct heat energy between the two phases, and use the difference in expansion rate between the two to form a pressure difference. If this can be achieved, it will definitely greatly increase the utilization rate of thermal energy.
In order to prove the correctness of my assumption, I did some research.
The phenomenon of the coexistence of water and fire elements is mentioned in Advanced Water Magic. It is recorded in Element Molecular Science that using the element extraction array and the fourth-order magic wave vibrator, the coexistence of water and fire elements will produce color changes and temperature fluctuations of ±0.2 degrees.
"Arms' Alchemical Notes" records the process of alchemist Master Arms discovering the Fiery Crystal.
In addition, I also studied twelve books and papers, including "Element Differentiation Method", "Erk Layer Analysis", "Molecular Theory", and then constructed a set of array techniques..."
As he spoke, Luke pulled out the magic wand from his sleeve and spread out his left hand. As he chanted the spell, circles of magic circles spread out above his left palm. Then Luke used the magic wand to channel magic power, drawing lines of light above the magic circle.
A set of magic analysis models was quickly formed.
Luke continued to explain: "I first used the Thirty-Four Concert Array of the Hexagram as the base, added the Erke Water Element Analysis Layer, and used the amplification point tuning technique on the second, fourth, and eighth magic nodes to reach the 31st, 47th, and 53rd frequency bands respectively.
Then use a small amount of fire to charge the magic circuit, and connect it to the concerto array in reverse time from the Mercury position interface.
During this period, the water element intake cannot exceed 0.01 units..."
A complex three-dimensional magic structure was completed in Luke's narration. Under the effect of magic energy, the blue water element circulated according to a specific magic circuit. There was also a faint, almost invisible red fire element flowing with the water element. Most of them appeared in the form of dual elements coexisting.
Editor-in-Chief Morson stared at the magic framework in Luke's hand without moving his eyes. Valtaski forgot to type and stared at the magic power running inside the magic framework.
Suddenly a breeze blew inside the office, and Vartaski looked at the windows first. Not only were the windows closed very tightly, but all the gaps were sealed because of Editor-in-Chief Morsson's health.
Before Vartaski could figure out where the wind in the room came from, the air flow in the room suddenly blew in the opposite direction.
"Amazing! It's so amazing!"
Editor-in-Chief Morson discovered the reason. An excited look appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to feel the change in the air flow in the room.
At this time, the airflow direction in the room reverses again.
Vartaski also figured out what was going on.
The three-dimensional magic structure in Luke's hand was affecting the duality of water vapor in the air. By conducting heat energy between the thermal phase and weak thermal phase of water molecules, the difference in expansion rate caused a pressure difference, thus forming a wind with changing direction gaps.
“It’s really amazing!”
Valtasky immediately began typing rapidly to record his findings and insights.
Editor-in-Chief Morson said to Luke eagerly, "I thought that 'The Duality of Water Element and Internal Circulation of Thermal Energy' was just a feasible theory, but I didn't expect that you have already completed its preliminary design.
I had to change the questions I was going to ask for this interview.
What stage are you in with your experiment?
Luke dispersed the magic structure in his hand bit by bit, and then said: "I can only complete the transfer of heat energy between the two phases of water elements at the magical level, and can also produce this slight pressure difference.
Any magic with wind attribute is more powerful than this one."
"But that is wind magic!" Editor-in-Chief Morsong said firmly, "The reason why steam technology has been able to develop so well and become a knowledge system that can keep pace with magic and alchemy in a short period of time is because of the cheapness of thermal energy and the popularity of steam machinery.
I am very optimistic about your research. If you can materialize it and significantly reduce the loss of magic energy, the water molecule two-phase steam engine will definitely become a steam engine that must be equipped for high-end steam machinery.
You need a steam lab of your own.
I can be in the Steam Engineers Association..."
Vartaski reminded from the side: "Mr. Editor-in-Chief, Engineer Luke is now employed by Harut Heavy Industries."
"I'm so happy. I almost forgot that you are not an independent steam engineer, but it doesn't matter." A new steam technology sprouted in front of him, making Editor-in-Chief Morsong as happy as a child: "I will write to Elvis, the owner of Harut Heavy Industries, and ask him to open a steam technology laboratory for you. The Steam Engineers Association will also give you the greatest assistance."
"Thank you so much!" Luke also expressed his happiness: "I really didn't expect that I could have my own laboratory so early."
"You deserve this, Engineer Luke," said Vartaski. "When your water molecule dual-phase steam engine is developed, your name will definitely be recorded in the history of steam technology."
Editor-in-Chief Morson then said, "When you develop the water molecule dual-phase steam engine, no matter how many people oppose it, I will make you a fifth-level candidate member of the Steam Engineers Association."
There are only eight level five members in the Dongdu Steam Engineers Association. All of them are the most authoritative in a certain field and have a great influence in the entire At County Federation.
In the opinion of Editor-in-Chief Morson, if Luke could develop a water molecule dual-phase steam engine, he would become the most sought-after person among all high-end steam engine users and manufacturers just by virtue of this patent. And given his talent, his achievements would definitely be more than just a water molecule dual-phase steam engine.
He remained with the Winter City Steam Engineers, and was an inestimable asset to the Yate County Union.
But Luke had no interest in the fifth-level candidate membership of the Steam Engineers Association. As soon as he got the steam engine for the floating fortress of the Gods, he immediately left.
Now all he needed was an amulet.
"I don't dream of becoming a fifth-level candidate member of the Steam Engineers Association before I'm forty. I'll be satisfied if I can become a fourth-level member and have my own steam laboratory."
Editor-in-Chief Morsong really likes Luke’s humility.
"I promised you the fourth-level membership. You have made me very, very satisfied. After this interview, let Vartaski take you to the Steam Engineers Association to apply for it."
"Thank you, Mr. Editor-in-Chief Morsong."
"Great! I didn't expect you to give us such a big surprise at the beginning of the interview. I'm looking forward to the subsequent Q&A."
"Please continue..."
…
Morsson completely gave up on the questions he had prepared before, as they were too simple and would only lower the quality of the interview.
He had a feeling that the new issue of Steam Weekly would definitely become one of the most collectible issues since its founding.
For Luke, his brilliant answer to the first question was a bit like shooting himself in the foot. Editor-in-Chief Morson's questions became increasingly pointed, making it difficult for Luke to answer.
Fortunately, Qingkong’s support in the background was very strong, and I could recite the works for the difficult questions.
Listening to Luke reciting some unpopular steam theories by heart, Editor-in-Chief Morson felt that Luke was a rare genius in the field of steam technology.
The future is limitless!
The interview, originally planned to last only three hours, stretched from morning to afternoon. For lunch, the three of us ate in the editor-in-chief's office , chatting as we ate.
This made the editors in the editorial department speculate... Who was the young man brought by Deputy Editor-in-Chief Valtaski, and why was he talked to by Editor-in-Chief Morson for such a long time?
You have to know that due to health reasons, Editor-in-Chief Morson rarely takes care of the work of "Steam Weekly". It is lucky for him to come two days a week, and each time he stays for a maximum of three hours.
What surprised the editors even more was that Editor-in-Chief Morson actually saw the young man off personally, and then reluctantly asked Deputy Editor-in-Chief to take him to the Steam Engineers Association.
"Please reserve a space for me in this issue of Steam Weekly. I will write a column myself!"
Editor-in-Chief Morson said this casually and went back to his office, and then the entire editorial department went into an uproar.
"Did I hear that correctly? Editor-in-Chief Morsong wants to write the column himself!"
"If you heard it right, then I heard it right too. Editor-in-Chief Morsong hasn't written anything since he was hospitalized for a serious illness three years ago. Why is he suddenly writing a column today?"
“Could it be related to the young man that Deputy Editor Vartasky sent away?”
"Who is that person?"
"I don't know. Won't we know when we get the manuscript from the editor?"
Luke didn't know yet that Editor-in-Chief Morson had made a last-minute decision to write an article for this interview and had even specifically requested a page for it.
The new issue of Steam Weekly is bound to cause a stir.
When he arrived at the Steam Engineers Association, Vartaski accompanied Luke throughout the membership promotion process. He brought Luke's paper published in Steam Weekly, evaluations from several well-known steam technology laboratories, and a long letter of recommendation written by Editor-in-Chief Morson.
Although the member promotion reviewer was puzzled as to how such a young steam engineer could skip two levels and be promoted from a first-level member to a fourth-level member, he could only handle the matter with doubts in mind, given Editor-in-Chief Morsong's letter of recommendation and the undeniable wording in the letter.
A metal fourth-level membership certificate of the Institute of Steam Engineers with an anti-counterfeiting mark was placed in Luke's hand by Vartaski.
“There are ninety-four fourth-level members of the Steam Engineers Association in the entire Yate County Union, but only forty-seven in Winter City. They have all made outstanding contributions to the development of steam technology and deserve due respect.
At first, Editor-in-Chief Morson promised you the fourth-level membership as a joke to encourage you, and the third-level membership should be a reward for you after he is satisfied. But your outstanding talent and your erudition and professionalism made Editor-in-Chief Morson make a change.
The editor-in-chief rarely uses his influence within the Society of Steam Engineers, and it is obvious that he likes you very much.
If you have time, visit Editor-in-Chief Morson more often. Talking to him more will be of great help to your future work and achievements. "
Luke accepted the certificate and said: “Thank you Mr. Valtaski, today’s achievement will be forever engraved in my memory and will become my motivation to make progress in the field of steam technology.
If it does not affect Editor-in-Chief Morson's rest, I would certainly like to visit him often and learn from him."
When talking about Editor-in-Chief Morsong's health, Vartaski couldn't help but sigh.
"Master Morson used to be a workaholic. He served as the dean of the Winter Capital Magic Steam Academy, the president of the Steam Engineers Association, had his own column in Steam Weekly, and was also the captain of several steam technology engineering research and development teams.
A serious illness three years ago completely broke him down. His time was...
I am his assistant and also his student. Today he is in the best mood in the past three years. If you go to visit him, he must be very happy!
I envy your talent, you let him see the future of steam technology."
Luke felt a little ashamed of Vartaski's praise. He didn't know whether he had a good talent or not. He just had an avatar that could study non-stop 24 hours a day.
However, being able to trick people into becoming a Level 4 member of the Steam Engineers Association can be considered a talent.
"I will certainly visit Editor Morsong often."
"Come on, I'll take you home. Tomorrow, Mr. Elvis, the owner of Harut Heavy Industries, will receive a personal letter from Editor-in-Chief Morsong. He will understand the significance of the water molecule dual-phase steam engine and know what a treasure he has picked up.
You can ask me any questions about the steam laboratory. If you encounter any trouble, you can also come to me..."
Editor-in-Chief Morsong's fondness for Luke made Vartaski consider him his junior fellow student and speak to him in a very affectionate manner.
"I'm at work and I'm in the apartment every day, what kind of trouble could there be?" Luke pretended to be an honest man.
Vartaski smiled meaningfully and said, “Before, you were just an ordinary steam engineer, so you would definitely not be in any trouble, but that may not be the case in the future.
Don't worry, with Steam Weekly, no one can do anything to you in Winter City!"
