Chapter 210: Knowledge and Truth Fear No Spread and Exchange!
"Such terrifying power..."
Gazing at the spreading sea of fire before him, Dennis's expression turned gravely serious. Although such an attack wasn't much of a threat to grand wizards, it spelled near-certain doom for ordinary formal mages.
The alchemists from the Society of Mystical Arts couldn't help but show traces of horror on their faces. Their initially aggressive stance, aiming to confront Lynn, considerably softened in an instant.
Raphael recalled encountering a type of alchemical powder that exploded upon contact with fire, but its destructive force paled in comparison.
"This is black powder. I've used it to destroy half a seaport city," Lynn introduced proactively before anyone could inquire, shaking his head afterward. "But it's a pity..."
"A pity? How so?" Raphael hurriedly inquired. "Is it because the production costs are too high?"
"No, the production of black powder isn't complicated," Lynn explained. "I mean, its power falls short!"
The explosive power of black powder, if devoid of fillers like white phosphorus, was actually quite limited, far inferior to TNT or black cyclonite.
"This falls short?" The expressions of those present turned rather peculiar. Was Lynn planning to set traps using this against the archbishop and the others?
Meanwhile, Orlando and the rest eagerly discussed how to utilize the formidable destructive power of black powder in warfare.
"I know, I know!" Lydia waved her longbow, diverting everyone's attention, brimming with confidence in her new idea. "We can fill alchemical carts with these black 'stones' and charge them into the crowds!"
Raphael and the others nodded in agreement; it was indeed a good way to unleash its power.
"A self-destructive cart, huh? You're not aiming for terrorism, at least?" Lynn chuckled wryly. "Actually, it's meant for mining!"
This revelation left Raphael and the others astounded.ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
They had just witnessed the power of the powder; it wasn't weak, even compared to magical crystal cannons. Yet Lynn intended to use it for mining?
Lynn felt equally helpless. The primary issue plaguing the development of Iyeta Harbor was the insufficient output of various ores, especially steelthe foundation of all industry.
However, an internal combustion engine was different. It restricted the entire combustion process inside the cylinder, exchanging air through an alchemical array and an exhaust port, naturally producing much more powerful propulsion than steam.
"What a brilliant concept!" Dennis exclaimed with admiration. He pondered numerous improvements to steam engines but understood that no matter the enhancement, it would hardly match the efficiency of an internal combustion engine.
"I'm curious, though. This alchemical internal combustion engine is a creation of your Iyeta school. Why are you willing to let us see the blueprints?" Dennis asked, puzzled.
"I've always believed that knowledge and truth fear no barriers in spreading and exchanging!" Lynn calmly replied. "An individual's power and wisdom are too minuscule. Even if one specializes in a field, they may never witness its limits throughout their lifetime..."
"Magic theory requires innovation. If everyone clings to their schools' views, I doubt the wizarding world would have the vibrant magic systems we see today."
There was another aspect Lynn didn't mentionafter all, the internal combustion engine was just outdated technology in his eyes, something to be shared openly.
Hearing Lynn's words, the alchemists from the association were deeply moved.
As researchers and inventors of steam engines, they fiercely guarded this unique alchemical technology. They never allowed wizards from other schools to dismantle or study related devices, considering it blatant theft!
Though they couldn't completely stop the leakage of technology in the end...
Yet Lynn disregarded the barriers between schools, directly sharing the core blueprints with them. What a broad-minded approach...
At this point, Dennis felt a tinge of shame...
