CHAPTER 69: FLYWHEEL SOLUTION

"Huh?! Magical creature? Starting now? How do we do this?"

Though they’d just decided to nurture a magical creature with part of the King of Creation’s authority to help mortals achieve industrialization, they hadn’t expected to start right away.

"First tell me what kind of magical creature you want, I’ll prepare the materials, and you can just follow along and observe the remaining steps to learn. Life... is truly wonderful. Your King of Creation authority will definitely be able to create life in the future too. Especially with Data Craftsman assisting, the process of creating life should be much easier for you than for me, but it still has reference value."

The Goddess of Magic’s words obviously gave Ren a heads up. He immediately nodded, "Actually, I suddenly have a great idea. Let me draw it out for you!"

With that, Ren immediately got to work, but the Goddess of Magic and Betty’s expressions became increasingly strange. The thing was, this guy Ren designed looked way too bizarre.

"Are you sure you really want it to appear in this form?" After a long while, the Goddess of Magic asked somewhat hesitantly.

"Can’t we? If it’s too difficult, we can change it."

"No, it’s very simple, even simpler than this book guy." Seeing he didn’t plan to change it, the Goddess of Magic didn’t continue: "Now, let’s talk about the magic power engine’s power stability issue. I’m also curious whether you have a good way to solve it... As for this guy, my avatar has already gone to prepare materials."

Ren hadn’t expected the topic to jump around so much, but he didn’t get too hung up on it. After thinking briefly, he understood where the problem was: "Actually, to solve this problem, we just need to add one component—a flywheel!"

"This component needs to be rigidly connected to the crankshaft, then connected to the piston through the crankshaft and connecting rod, storing excess energy."

The flywheel’s main function was to stabilize power. It could store the mechanical energy converted by the magic power engine’s magic-driven pistons and release this energy when the engine needed extra power or when speed dropped.

The book had just floated over from nearby, seeming to have something to report. Originally it was planning to listen in, but now it was staring at everyone with a completely dazed expression... Looking at Ren, looking at the Goddess of Magic, looking at Betty, a wave of loneliness arose. That usually talkative book finally felt somewhat hopeless—he really couldn’t understand! Couldn’t hear it either! Completely confused!

He even wanted to slap himself a couple times. Why did he think it was a good idea to listen to their discussion here?!

Especially seeing Ren solve this problem that even the Goddess of Magic and Betty couldn’t effectively handle with just a pure mechanical component completely stunned the book.

His head was full of the Goddess of Magic’s collection of books, but all those books were magic-related, or at least god-related at worst. He really knew absolutely nothing about this stuff.

But Betty quickly understood. Simply put, they needed a component that could help the piston return to its original position when the engine piston movement reached its limit.

"Through the flywheel, we store part of the mechanical energy converted from magic power. When magic power supply is insufficient or extra power is needed, the flywheel can release this mechanical energy to help maintain the engine’s smooth operation." The Goddess of Magic also understood: "Actually, we don’t need to find the kind of alloy you mentioned. We just need to use ordinary refined iron, craft it into that shape, and inscribe energy storage runes, release runes, and sensing runes in certain areas to achieve the same effect."

In Ren’s understanding, completing flywheel work like this would definitely require some relatively strong alloys. Even engines in his previous world were like this, let alone magic power engines in this world—the power generated by magic was much, much more than gasoline.

But the Goddess of Magic’s words seemed to open a new door. They could totally use ordinary metals and complete everything through magic runes.

Knowledge from two worlds seemed to have a mysterious collision at this moment, sparking very... very terrifying sparks.

A complete solution quickly formed.

"Genius work! Absolute genius work! You two perfectly connected magic runes with mechanics, directly replacing a stabilization array that would originally require at least several thousand gold shields plus hiring a high-level magician, and the cost might not even need one gold shield!" Betty couldn’t help but exclaim after figuring it all out: "I really am the dumbest one."

"You’re not dumb at all." Ren said with a smile: "Without you, this magic power engine wouldn’t have been made so quickly. Besides, there’s still the book, right? Look at the glow on him—he’s definitely completely confused, has no idea what we’re talking about."

"Lord Ren, how can you say that?! I just don’t understand mechanical knowledge. Once our ’new Magic Net rings’ are produced and those craftsmen can use them too, I’ll definitely learn all of this. No matter what, I’ll be more proficient than that Betty guy..."

When the book said this, it seemed to sense some invisible pressure and immediately flew out quickly, escaping behind the Goddess, afraid of being thrown into solitary confinement by Betty. Seeing this scene, both Ren and the Goddess of Magic couldn’t help but show helpless expressions.

This guy was really both cowardly and mouthy!

"Speaking of which, doesn’t the divine realm’s barrier need your divine power to maintain?" After a while, Ren suddenly asked the Goddess of Magic.

During the battle with the God of War, though they hadn’t consumed much faith power, there was definitely significant consumption. There were so many places in the divine realm that needed faith power...

"If it were a few days ago, it might still be needed, but now, it’s not necessary." The Goddess of Magic said with a smile: "Haven’t you felt that our faith power collection speed has been skyrocketing these past few days?"

"Huh? Has it? I haven’t noticed." Ren raised his eyebrow slightly, immersing his consciousness to sense changes in his faith power. "Feels like there’s not much change, still steadily rising."

"Lord Ren... that, is it possible that it’s because your faith growth speed has always been terrifying, so you haven’t noticed?" Betty quietly reminded him, then turned her gaze to the Goddess of Magic, afraid the other party might misunderstand something.

Normal deities’ faith power growth speed was +1+1+1+1...

Ren’s faith power growth speed was +1+2+4+8... Though this growth rate definitely couldn’t continue so unchecked and would relatively stabilize before long, the current situation was indeed like this.

In this situation, the recent surge in faith power over the past few days might indeed seem somewhat ordinary to him.

"Actually, my faith power has indeed increased quite a bit. I thought this was a normal reaction from just becoming a god!" Ren quickly realized the reason and immediately spoke up to cover.

After all, in front of someone who wasn’t very good at collecting faith and whose main source of faith was prayers that only appeared during talent testing, saying his faith just grew like this might be a bit...
