A method of generating electricity by applying thrust using a morale explosion and maintaining the thrust as much as possible with the automatic rotation of the skeleton turbine.

Could this be a possibility?

At that time, the qigong professor who came with Lee Do-jin said:

“This explosion must be one-off.”

“Yes.”

“Then, isn’t it not suitable for generators where sustainability is important?”

A professor of qigong who acted as if he was supporting me.

But when I saw my Skeleton Turbine, it immediately changed my expression, so I heard about hearing enhancement.

‘I was thinking negatively about the ability to generate electricity.’

If you are a professor of qigong, do you think negatively about skeletons to replace machines as you are a person who studies machines?

understandable enough.

Because not everyone is like Lee Do-jin.

‘If you don’t like it, just find someone else, well.’

Anyway, durability is a problem, isn’t it?

“That’s it, if you keep popping it, that’s it. As I said, this is a rough draft for experimentation, so maybe it will be resolved later by attaching an automatic bone refueling device to the mask.”

“You mean automatic refueling?”

“Yes. It’s not like I can’t stay in the power plant every day. You have to make them go back without me.”

“Then how do you do a bone blast without the president?”

“It’s that simple.”

In the end, all magic is simply creating a command called a magic circle and operating it with magic.

Of course, as long as you create a system that can engraved magic circles and use magic crystals to administer magic, ordinary people can use magic as much as they want.

That’s the magic weapon used in Seron.

Of course, the problem is that the price is so high that no one can use it, but it doesn’t matter, right?

The turbine is one of the crazy expensive things in the first place.

I raised my hand and engraved the magic circle related to the morale explosion into the rocket-shaped piece of metal, and then drew a long line of magic to the floor.

Then, I put the artificial essence I had in my arms and made the operation condition into a magic circle.

“Now, if you put a bone in me and put your hand on this essence, the bone will burst on its own.”

Then Dojin Lee came up to me and whispered to me.

“Chairman, please explain in more detail. The more you do, the more active this friend will be.”

“How detailed are you talking about?”

“This friend is a friend who has some negative thoughts about abilities, not because he hates abilities, but because of his reluctance to know things that cannot be interpreted scientifically. However, while the Awoken use their abilities without knowing how they are activated, the President is no different.”

Isn’t it just negative because of worrying about rice bowls?

“It’s a style that once this friend is hooked on, he will dig into it without any hesitation. I’m sure the ability. Trust me and explain.”

“Hmm.”

No one else, Professor Do-Jin Lee recommends this much…

“All right.”

By the way, if you point out and explain the invisible magic circle, would it be easy to understand?

‘Can you explain it while showing it?’

Just because you see it doesn’t mean you know anything.

Just show me.

I raised my hand and used my magic to make the magic circles glow.

Then the magic circle appeared for the first time in this world with a brilliant light.

“Oh oh!?”

I beckoned to the surprised qigong professor and said,

“Come over here, and I will teach you the principle.”

I said, pointing to one of the magic circles.

“I mean, let’s call it the commanding team. And the energy in the bones is called negative energy, and the energy collected in people is called positive energy. Anyway, this command twists the negative energy in the bones. And here this guy is compressing…”

When I explain the magic circle like that, the professor’s eyes light up more and more.

Then the professor pointed to the small magic circle in the middle and said:

“What role is this?”

“This is the middle switch role. The destructive power is greater when it is twisted and then compressed, so the twist is activated first, and then we tune it so that it can be compressed.”

“Oh oh!”

The qigong department professor continues to pour out questions.

“Then what is this? Is this?”

“This is the one that senses the supply of energy from the artificial water, and this is…”

A professor who pours out questions without stopping for even a moment.

The professor said with a look of admiration.

“Unbelievable······.”

Then, Dojin Lee approached the professor and said,

“What do you think.”

“Is this what you said?”

“It’s a little different from this, but it’s similar.”

“Sophisticated. Everything is organically connected. Those commanders are semiconductors performing their respective missions, and those wires are copper wires. Maybe other Awakened people are like this too?”

“As far as I know, only one president has this ability.”

Then the qigong professor asked me.

“Chairman, did you make all of this command line here? Or is it part of your ability?”

“uh······.”

To be more precise, the magic circle itself was invented by the ancient Seron wizards in the distant past, and I just combined them…

“Is that so?”

Then the professor exclaimed.

“Unbelievable. This is really science! It’s different from other Awakeneds who don’t even know how their abilities are activated!”

That’s right.

First of all, I am not an Awoken.

Then the professor said with excitement.

“So, can ordinary people learn this command line and do the same thing with artificial essence?”

“It’s not just about learning. Even if everything else is going on, it’s only me who can engrave this command line.”

“ah······.”

Then Lee Do-jin came forward and said.

“Instead, it would be possible to assemble the command line, just like we are studying the algorithm now and the president implements it.”

That’s possible.

Then the professor grabbed my hand and said,

“Can you teach me something? Maybe this is your chance to uncover the source of Awakenings and abilities that no one else has ever known!”

I called to see the turbine, but why are you doing this for the wrong thing?

But… it’s not a bad story.

Even now, thanks to the center’s algorithm for me, I’m completely comfortable, and now, if you can even do the magic circle combination for me, from then on, I’ll just have to connect my magic.

‘uh? Or try making a device that can draw a magic circle with artificial essence?’

That way, even if you don’t have magic power, you will be able to engrave a magic circle. As the professor said, can ordinary people also be able to use magic?

But all of a sudden, I get a sense of urgency.

‘If you approach this clumsily, it could be a disaster.’

Unlike how I make magic circles in an instant with one gesture, I have to draw each stitch by hand, so the speed is different, but anyway, the appearance of ordinary people who can use magic can cause chaos in the world.

Perhaps in the process, the attack magic circle may spread indiscriminately.

I looked at the professor and said.

“For now, I will let you know about this Skeleton Turbine.”

“Oh oh! thank you!”

A little bit of knowledge is given, but implementation is left up to me for now.

The future of hextech, which combines magic and science, may be beautiful, but at the same time, it is an unknown world that we have never experienced, so we have to approach it conservatively.

I said applauding.

“now. Now everyone, come to your senses, aren’t you here for the turbine? Please focus here first. Will this be commercially viable or not?”

Then the professor came to his senses, closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said,

“First of all, destructive power, is that all?”

“Honestly, I was extremely restrained.”

Although it is ignored as an F-class monster, even such an F-class monster is strong enough to slaughter dozens of ordinary people.

Exploding the morale of such an F-class monster, not to mention the destructive power.

Of course, I used it in moderation as much as possible.

“Then is this even possible? Not all at once, but little by little. In this way, I think it will be economical as well as sustainable.”

“gradually? Ohh?”

You have to think about it a bit, but it’s not a bad way.

I said with a smirk.

“Then, professors, shall we study in earnest?”

*

Active participation of Qigong Department professors.

As the essence of mechanical engineering, which has been studied countless times to increase the efficiency by even 1%, is added, the efficiency of the skeleton turbine is getting higher and higher.

In addition, Professor Do-Jin Lee was interested and helped with the research, and the long-awaited Skeleton Turbine No. 1 was finally completed.

“Let’s start testing.”

At the words of the professor of qigong, the staff of Seron brings a pile of bones.

“Are those bones not pretreated?”

The pre-processing process is to put magic on the bones to prevent morale from escaping.

However, I can’t always stop by the power plant and hand over the bones, so this Skeleton Turbine Unit 1 was made on the assumption that I was not there from the beginning.

As I nodded, the qigong professor said.

“Put it in the box.”

The staff then pours the bones into an iron box and closes the lid.

After confirming that it is completely sealed, the professor of engineering presses a button on the bony console designed exclusively for the skeleton turbine.

“Now, the negative energy can no longer escape from that box.”

Since the bones cannot be preprocessed directly, I came up with a way to minimize the leakage of fraud by engraving a magic circle on the box itself.

Of course, it’s less efficient than locking it in the bones and losing morale, but it wasn’t bad enough.

“ruler. Now turn the turbine.”

When the professor presses the button like that, the skeleton turbine starts to spin vigorously.

Such a skeleton turbine was quite different from the prototype.

Since the turbine is initially designed to receive as much resistance as possible from water vapor, the skeleton turbine that uses the explosive force and the skeleton’s own rotation does not need to follow its shape, and the professor directly runs a simulation with a computer to create a skeleton turbine.

It’s a little different from what the professor designed because it can’t be melted like metal and made into the desired shape, but I made it by assembling bones of the same size as possible.

Of course, in the process, there was an opinion that it would be good to just make a turbine out of metal and use only the explosive power of fraud, and it was quite reasonable, but it turned out that it was so different in shape and principle from the existing turbine that it took at least several months to a long time to fully apply the design and produce it. The answer came back saying it would take over a year.

So I immediately dismissed it and just turned it into a bone.

Anyway, the core of this reborn skeleton turbine was a skeleton that was also a skeleton, but dozens of nozzles hung all over the turbine.

“Inject negative energy.”

Then, when the professor presses another button, a series of explosions come out of the nozzles, and the skeleton turbine spins at an insane speed.

“It’s fine.”

Instead of bursting a whole bone as in the experimental work, according to the professor’s advice, a large amount of bones are put in a box, and morale is extracted with a engraved magic circle and burst from 40 nozzles in succession.

This is the method suggested by the professor, saying that there is a loss of morale, but the continuity pointed out by the professor is eliminated and balance can be maintained at the same time, so that the rotating axis is not overloaded.

Of course, the process was complicated and the magic circle had to be shoved in all directions, which consumed a lot of mana, but instead, if you engraved such a magic circle once, the next activation would be enough with an artificial essence.

People staring at the Skeleton Turbine without saying a word.

The professor looked at the screen hanging on the console and said.

“Negative energy is stable. The output is also maintained steadily.”

That screen was a technology developed by Do-Jin Lee and I, who have been researching cooperation between robots and skeletons.

negative energy.

So, fraud is the main energy source for this Skeleton Turbine, so people will have to check how much is left before deciding whether to add or withhold.

The principle was simple.

If the amount of morale decreases, use the weakening of the skeleton to create a skeleton that can only receive morale from that box, and then have that skeleton hold the gripper.

Then, depending on the amount of morale in the box, when the morale is full, the gripper is held stronger, and when the morale is low, the skeleton’s force applied to the gripper decreases as the morale goes down.

And that’s what quantified this amount of power and implemented it on the screen.

I nodded and said.

“The combination of science and technology and skeleton, I love it.”

It has a bit of an analog feel to it, but it’s the most intuitive and sure way.

At that time, the professor of qigong said with a smile as if he was excited.

“This time, let’s print it out. Double it.”

Then the skeleton turbine rotates faster with a louder explosion.

The professor looked at the screen and said.

“Certainly, electricity production increases … but the efficiency decreases. Morale consumption is doubled, but production is 1.6 times higher.”

No matter how much an explosion is applied, unless it is a vacuum, there is a physical limit.

Still, it is definitely a great advantage to have a means to rapidly increase the amount of electricity at any time in an emergency.

A professor who conducted all kinds of experiments by raising and lowering the output like that.

“Experiment over. We will check the final result.”

Everyone who took part in the experiment watched the professor’s presentation with breath.

In fact, it was the perfect green power generation, in which bones are coal and the energy bought from people serves as steam.

Now, the only remaining challenge is cost effectiveness.

The professor compared the remaining amount of fraud and the cost of the bones, and then said.

“Chairman, how much energy do you have left?”

The amount of magical power contained in the artificial essence.

There was no way to know this much except me and SS-classes who deal directly with magical powers, so I adopted the method of inserting several at all.

Put 10 or so in advance, and when the first is used up, use the second, and when the second is used up, use the third.

In this way, all you have to do is replace the essence that used up all of your magic power before using it one after another.

I said looking at artificial water number 1.

“It’s roughly a tenth of a month.”

“Then, if we substitute the cost of energy now, add the cost of exhausted negative energy, and divide it by the amount of electricity produced… it is 130 won per kW.”

The professor looked at me and said.

“For reference, nuclear power is 66 won and coal is 110 won.”

Damn it!

More expensive than coal?!

But the professor suddenly smiled brightly and said,

“Experimental success.”

“Yes? They say it costs more to produce than coal.”

“Why would coal power plants still be maintained? Because the production cost of other green power plants is insanely expensive. Although it is called eco-friendly, LNG power generation, which produces a small amount of harmful substances, costs 240 won, and wind power costs more than 300 won. The electricity bill in Korea is around 150 won, so the more eco-friendly it is, the more it loses, so coal has been maintained. But is it eco-friendly and even cheaper than electricity bill? This means…”

The professor smiled brightly.

“This skeleton turbine is the world’s first commercially viable eco-friendly power generation turbine.”

“Then success?”

“Success. It is also at a level that can be commercialized right now. Besides, since this is Unit 1, if we increase the efficiency by adding research, the production cost will continue to come down, so this is an unconditional success.”

At those words, everyone involved in the study cheered.

“Wow! Long live Chairman Han!”

“Success!”

Looking at those people, I smiled and said.

“Is that so? Success?”

“Yes. In addition, considering the recent decision to impose a tariff called a carbon border tax on countries that emit a lot of carbon in Europe, this would be cheaper.”

“OK.”

I immediately picked up the phone and called Commissioner Jinyoung Lee.

-Yes. This is Jinyoung Lee.

“What I was doing with the Skeleton Turbine. Success.”

-···success? How much do you mean? I would be grateful if the price of LNG was enough.

The professor is definitely right about success.

Are you satisfied with the LNG level of 230 won per kW?

“a. Is that enough?”

– So how about wind power?

“Not up, but down.”

Then, after being silent for a while, Jinyoung said.

– Cheaper? Maybe in the late 100’s?

Finally, unable to put up with my itchy mouth, I said.

“130 won. It was also the first unit made. Maybe more research will make it more efficient?”

-130?! Even Unit 1?! Is that true?

It is completely eco-friendly, and even the price is slightly higher than that of coal.

Is there any news more welcome than this in today’s world where environmental issues have become a major topic of discussion?

“Of course it is. When did you see me lie? If you’re curious, come now, because we’re still experimenting. If possible, bring the person in charge with you.”

– Oh, I see.

After finishing the call, I smiled brightly.

“great. So, shall we take the energy now?”
