Chapter 55 Magical Industrial Laboratory

(Three extra chapters added on November 21st, 3/1)

"Vera! Where's that loop coupling element?"

"Ah... Miss Anna, on the machine tool."

The magical industrial laboratory of the Amelan West Academy of Sciences is no longer as desolate as it once was. Since Anna created the magical lamp and the magical radio, the importance attached to this laboratory has been greatly increased.

Not only were state-of-the-art experimental instruments provided, but with a stroke of her pen, Sainz also equipped the Magic Industrial Laboratory with several industrial laboratories, which are essentially factories.

"Our path has always been wrong. The direction of the magic industry should not be towards simple mechanics, but should focus on magic circuits. Magic and semiconductor electronic integrated circuit systems are complementary, or rather, the two are almost interchangeable."

"In circuit logic such as AND gates, NOT gates, and OR gates, magic can almost perfectly replace them. Moreover, at this stage, the development of magical components is cheaper than that of electronic components. Various magical components can be easily obtained by using magic forging, while electronic components must use more expensive and complex materials to achieve the same effect. This is relatively speaking at this stage."

"Alright, Vera, stop reading. Send it to Dean Sainz after get off work."

"Yes, Director Anna!"

Vera set it aside and picked up the parts on the assembly table. Now that the slogan "Magic Semiconductor" had been put forward, the Magic Industrial Laboratory intended to move towards one of the greatest creations that humans could make, something that no one had ever set foot in before but that they had seen before.

Electronic computer.

Taking advantage of the magic's expertise in inexpensive integrated circuits, Vera planned to move towards this goal. However, the technology of electronic computers was not so easy to climb, and at present, they had countless problems to solve.

"Miss Director, this is an analysis of the three-phase communication magic supply system."

"Focus on the key points."

"Yes, our Second Magic Industrial Group adopted the Second Magic Crystal Reaction Principle to manufacture a three-phase AC magic crystal reactor, successfully producing a stable 360V magic pressure..."

What about the load test?

"The 24-hour magic output load test has been completed. The reaction unit is working normally and the magic output pressure is normal."

"What about consuming magic crystals?"

"Consumed 0.424 tons of magic crystals in 24 hours, generating a total of 238KW of magic power."

Considering the physical similarities between magic and electricity, Anna directly correlated all magical units with electrical units, only adding a small "M" in the upper right corner to represent magic power when writing the symbol.

Anna looked at everything on the table. For the first time, she realized that the potential of magic was beyond her imagination. Back in the capital, those bastards were still using magic technology to create fireballs and drive blades to dissipate heat.

If we look at semiconductors and combine electronic technology theory with magic, the future becomes very clear. First, establish a stable global magic supply network and power network, then establish a magic conductor industry. Anna estimates that by then, the semiconductor era will have arrived when the internal combustion engine era is only halfway through.

The existing inexpensive magic conductors, and even the very easy-to-draw magic crystal optical fibers, Anna saw the history of electronic technology development in that world on the tablet, and then looked at the magic circuit boards in their hands.

Just don't be too perfect.

Based on experience and research, a magic crystal is actually a crystal stabilized by magic. When this layer of magic is over-released, the structure stabilized by magic is no longer present, and the magic crystal will lose its crystal structure and become a transparent thermoplastic polymer material. At this time, magic can still be injected, but it cannot crystallize again. Anna once conducted an experiment and found that a completely de-magical magic crystal could quickly conduct magic, but with the existing methods of magic injection, it is impossible to return it to the magic crystal state.

However, compared to the magic crystal re-crystallization technology that the Royal Capital Magic Association has been searching for its entire life, Anna, who has modern data to support her, understands the use of so-called waste magic crystals better. These are cheap, recyclable, and almost by-products or waste magic crystals. Now, they have already shown the properties of high molecular compounds, that is, so-called "plastics"!

It's a pity it's a magic-conducting crystal, otherwise Anna would have insisted on using a discarded magic crystal to make a magic circuit board.

Anna picked up the magic coupling element and placed it on the lathe. Nowadays, almost all components are manufactured using lathes. These steam-powered machines are prone to malfunctions and are not very precise. Each component must be hand-engraved after rough machining on the machine.

This was destined to be a very time-consuming, tedious, and boring process. Anna recruited several sculptors and asked them to do secondary carving, but the sculptors clearly did not understand what "standardization" meant and would "let themselves go" from time to time.

The first few batches of magical circuit boards were almost unacceptable, which is why Anna complained to Alice at the ball and asked for more funding. She also showed a small, unstable walkie-talkie that would malfunction from time to time. She had originally designed it to be a radio, but found that the magical circuit board was too small, so she simply went for the walkie-talkie design.

Fortunately, Alice was very happy, and Anna finally got her note and went to Sains to ask for more funding.

"This batch needs a minor oversight..."

Anna compared the structural diagram with the actual PCB design software and realized she could only rely on hand-drawing to determine each line.

She picked up the magic carving knife, which had a magic crystal inserter at the top that could hold a number 7 barrel-shaped magic crystal. The knife could sense the paint mixed with the magic crystal, and when the blade made contact with the magic crystal paint, it would activate the magic circuit, causing the blade to rotate and cut. When it could no longer make contact with the magic crystal paint, the circuit would be cut off, and the magic would flow back through the return wire.

Adjusting the microscope—it's difficult to see the delicate parts when working with such a precision instrument—she twisted the eyepiece to adjust it to the appropriate magnification, and clearly saw the flaw in the board—a tiny protrusion.

Anna gently rotated the carving knife, and the magic crystal alloy blade cut copper shavings from the copper plate. Anna wondered if she should use other materials to make the base of the magic circuit board, but she couldn't come up with any good ideas. Among the existing materials, plastic or resin were actually the most suitable, but the former could not be made yet, and the latter was easy to melt in occasional magic overload, damaging the magic circuit.

"Basically, the substrate material needs to be easy to process, heat-resistant, and non-conductive to magic..."

Anna mentally summarized the process, then picked up the already processed magic circuit board. The next step was to fill it with various components, including magic resistors, magic capacitors, and magic wires.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued her work.
