Chapter three hundred and forty-ninth practice
Jia went to the underground laboratory. Because the copper bull occupied too much area, and Jiayi always beat the ping-ping-ping-ping-boom, it was too noisy, so Yanxi and the others settled down and moved to the laboratory of Maduo next door for experiments, and did not get along with Jiayi.
After all, this is Jiayi's home, so you can't drive Jiayi out. Fortunately, the sound insulation in the basement is very good, and there is no sound inside. Even if it is called to the throat, it will be useless. Otherwise, Machi, who is still living upstairs, would have to give his advice.
When Jiayi walked to the copper bull, the copper bull had been completely removed by Jiayi. I don’t know what technology the copper bull used, but it seemed to be formed in one piece, without even a seam. Jiayi could only use scorching rays to cut the entire copper bull open, and then put it in different categories according to joints and body parts.
Just like slaughtered beef, beef brisket and steak are classified into categories, sold at a higher price, and also selected the right parts for suitable cooking.
Because the inside of the copper bull was damaged by scorching rays, the scorching rays extend from the chest and hit the back diagonally upward. The structure inside the chest was destroyed, so we can only see a little bit. Moreover, when Jiayi used scorching rays to cut the copper bull, although he was very careful, it also damaged the body of the copper bull, destroying the rune array carved on the outer shell of the copper bull, and some internal mechanical structures were also deformed.
The inner part of the copper bull is not a complete magical structure, but a mixture of magic and machinery, thereby manipulating the free movement of the copper bull.
This is a bit different from traditional magic puppets. Of course, ordinary magic puppets do not have any mechanical structure at all, but they are mainly magic, and the mechanical structures are relatively simple, most of them are joints and other places, and are only used as auxiliary structures.
However, the mechanical structure inside this copper bull is very complex and is very closely combined with magic. The copper bull uses a complex transmission mechanism and a synchronous structure inside, which makes the copper bull's spell consumption much less, saves energy more, and allows the copper bull to maintain movement for a longer time.
He also found a structure similar to the energy-concentrating magic array on the abdomen of the copper bull. When the copper bull is still, he can slowly absorb the surrounding magic power and restore the magic storage. This is why, and for hundreds of years, the copper bull can still chase Chester, without any damage caused by rust and metal aging.
The design of the bronze bull can be said to be very advanced. Technically, it has more advantages than traditional magic structures. It can create more powerful puppets when the magic power is lower, and it will be more lasting.
But this only looks more wonderful in theory. Even if a more powerful magic puppet is made, it cannot change the fact that it can only improve combat power, but it cannot improve the strength of the mage itself. Therefore, these can only be used as auxiliary businesses. In addition, the production cycle of puppets is long and the consumption is large, and the entire puppet industry is becoming increasingly declining.
When the magic puppet has its peak and slowly declines, it is not that there are mages who notice the disadvantages of the magic puppet, but also that mages want to improve this. At the end of the magic puppet, there are indeed many ways to improve it. The one Jiayi saw now may be one of them.
But in fact, all the improvements to magic puppets have failed. Now the entire puppet production is classified as a branch of alchemy. There are very few people who specialize in this. It is just as an auxiliary means, and no one will major in this anymore.
Although this method of completely integrating magic and machinery looks perfect, the requirements for learners are too high. You must be proficient in both magic and mechanical engineering. If there is such an outstanding person, why do you still have to plunge heads into the mechanical puppets to create this stagnant water?
Moreover, the huge demand for resources by magic puppets has not been relieved. As the number of puppets increases, resources will only become increasingly scarce.
So it is no wonder that when Jiayi saw the information inside and the dismantled copper bull, he felt unfamiliar with him and had no impression of this kind of puppet at all.
However, Jiayi told Yanxi that studying this thing is not nonsense, but some things can be used on the skateboard. This mechanical puppet's fine control system gave Jiayi a lot of inspiration.
However, I finally felt that it was shallow on paper. Jiayi decided to do something first to practice his skills.
The most suitable thing to practice is the drawing obtained by Jiayi and others. It is a complete drawing for practice puppet production, which indicates all the required parameters. Moreover, because it is practice drawing, the materials needed are relatively cheap. You only need to use wood, and there is no need for too precious magic materials.
In fact, he has so many choices. Although the books he got were made of magic puppets, there were no specific drawings in it. Just like a book about program development, there would not be a complete project, only some code snippets.
The magic puppet drawing brought back by Jiayi and the others is a human-shaped mechanical magic puppet for practice. Jiayi has read the basic books about magic puppets and has some understanding of magic puppets. He knows that human-shaped magic puppets are relatively high-end when practicing puppets.
Because humanoid puppets only have two legs, the balance requirement is higher. If it is four legs or eight legs, the fault tolerance rate will be greater, and the production accuracy is not as high as that of two legs.
Four legs can stand even if they have some errors, but if the two legs are not well balanced, they will fall down, let alone fight or use.
As soon as Jia found wood and hid in the laboratory, he began to work hard, preparing to make his first magic puppet. He did not study the meaning of magic puppet in depth, but discovered some new things that he was interested in from the creation of magic puppets. If it really worked, he could really create some fun things.
To put it more exaggeratedly, it is not impossible to change the world.
However, Jiayi still overestimated his hands-on ability. If we talk about the portrayal of the magic array, Jiayi's hands, who have practiced sketching for many years, can be said to be very stable. Not to mention the portrayal of the magic array, there is no problem even when it comes to carving. Besides, for handmade production, Jiayi made a pen and a pendulum clock when he was very young, and he could not be regarded as a bad word.
However, when these two are combined, the problem arises, especially wood, which is greatly affected by the surrounding temperature and humidity. When the magic power passes, it will also affect the properties of the wood, resulting in a fallacy in the original calculation accuracy.
Jiayi's first puppet was not really completed. He made parts of each part, but after assembling them together, it could not be truly run. Because the error was too large, the rune array could not be activated at all and could not be connected together.
However, this first time, Jiayi didn't expect anything, just to be familiar with the various components.
After familiarizing himself with the various parts of the puppet, Jia started to make puppets, and the progress at the beginning was not ideal, but he could make new progress every time. Jiayi felt that it was still very good.
Because no one in the academy is proficient in puppet making, Jiayi can only study it slowly. If there is something incorrect or inaccurate, he can only make small workpieces and experiment slowly one by one to find the most suitable method.
Although Jiayi has a complete set of drawings, you cannot expect the drawings to be complete and without any omissions. In many details, the notes on the drawings are not very clear, and Jiayi himself has no other way, so he can only experiment continuously.
Fortunately, there is a bronze bull here. Although it has been damaged and Jiayi has also destroyed part of the structure during violent cutting, it is still relatively complete and the reference value is still very valuable.
