I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Elsa saw Chen Shimei's expression: "Do you think the Archbishop and the Holy Spirit are cabbages? If she could have them whenever she wanted, she would have replaced the Magic Goddess long ago."

"Besides, if I remember correctly, your Holy Light Church was originally split from her, right? You use her people and her territory and then you scold her?"

Thinking back on the development process, it seems to be true...Midya is a little lacking in confidence: "I have already done it, and I can't spit it back. What should I do now?"

"What should we do? Let's wait for the God War. She should have calmed down by now."

Elsa watched as the golden light in the sky took a long time to fall, and finally began to shrink and disappear. It was obvious that the goddess of light also knew that such impotent rage was useless.

She wanted to kill the traitor, but Medea could use the believers as beacons to synchronize her abilities, so there was not much point in continuing.

But this matter obviously won't end like this.

Medea didn't care: "Fight if you want. If you want to fight me, the Holy See should think about how to cross the strait first~"

Putting aside other things, the first battleship has basically completed its outfitting and is ready for sea trials. Either they have the ability to attack us now, otherwise the Vatican's fleet may not be able to stop this steel obstacle weighing tens of thousands of tons.

Elsa shook her head and said nothing when she heard that. She now completely understood the feelings of the Goddess of Light. You can't kill her in a one-on-one fight, and you can't win in a group fight. She will even instigate some of your believers to rebel from time to time. This kind of tough guy is the most hateful.

After the farce was over, Medea had now transformed himself into the Emperor of God. He took on the punishment of God for his believers and left them with nothing to worry about, and his reputation became more and more prosperous.

Mitia announced that the alliance's next goal was to look up at the stars, and the first step was the dream of silicon crystals! That is, the preparation of diodes and transistors.

Why silicon? Because it is one of the most stable crystals known to have an internal atomic structure. There are four valence electrons in the middle of a silicon atom.

These electrons are shared with the four surrounding silicon atoms, and each silicon atom can control the eight valence electrons around it.

Finally, a stable crystal structure with covalent bonds is formed, similar to an inert gas, which is the most balanced and stable structure.

This structure is very strong, so it is impossible for new valence electrons to pass through them, which hinders the flow of electric current.

However, impurity elements can be added to destroy the structure in a targeted manner to control its conductivity. For example, the added impurities can give some of the silicon an extra valence electron, for example, 9 instead of 8.

When the power supply is connected, a conductive circuit will be formed, and electrons will move and flow in this extra valence electron. This is a semiconductor.

The tube is the collector, the base is the switch that controls the water flow, and the emitter is the outlet. The transistor also has an amplifier function, and the collector emits far more than you use.

How important are transistors?

If you realize that to replicate the functionality of a transistor, in reality you need a potentiometer, a mechanical switch, a copper wire loop, and a power source, then you should be able to see the advantages.

It is small in size and simple in structure. Since it does not need to move, there will be almost no wear and tear after millions of cycles. It is also highly resistant to vibration and collision.

And because it only requires very, very little material to work, theoretically as long as you can make a 5-valence electron silicon atom + a 3-valence electron silicon element, you can form a circulation circuit.

It can almost be said that the highly developed form of civilization in the past was built on these tiny pieces of silicon elements.

That's why Medea said 'Silicon Crystal Dream'.

At the same time, an ocean-going fleet consisting of thirteen 10,000-ton steel ships, ten Zhiyuan-class cruisers, and three supply ships set sail from Bonwich.

Their mission target this time was not the countries on the other side of the strait, but to stop for supplies at the two seaports borrowed from the Kingdom of Cabancia by the Seris Alliance, and then sail across the ocean to explore new trade routes.

Medea is always wary of the multinational alliance on the other side. She is not comfortable with placing all of her trade focus within the territory of the other alliance, as this could easily lead to the other side uniting to raise prices and threaten her.

This time, the search for a new caravan was not completely without purpose. Their main goal was to sail to the port of Culva to establish direct trade relations with the Mantogole Empire.

At the same time, continue exploring along this route to find other countries.

Chapter 155 Magic Electrification

The difficulty of preparing silicon is not high, mainly because she doesn't need such high purity silicon now, and vacuum diodes and transistors are not so picky. However, the price of not being picky is volume...

If one wants to achieve rapid technological breakthroughs, one must skip the vacuum diode route and turn directly to smaller semiconductor point contact diodes, while also prefabricating three-pole transistors.

The principles are all ready-made. The only difficulty that bothers the alliance is the preparation of silicon. At the same time, they need to thoroughly understand the information given to them by Medea.

With the point contact diode, many devices have the possibility of basic prototype production, such as radar and various household appliances, and of course computers.

While tinkering with the first electronic computer using diodes, the magicians recruited by the elves showed Medea a path she had not previously imagined.

'Why must it be electronic? Would it be feasible to use magic elements as the medium?'

Medea's eyes suddenly lit up. If magical elements were used, it would actually be possible, at least on a computer.

For example, why did electronic computers in the past use binary? The answer is that this design is the most efficient, because binary is the simplest to implement in the circuit.

When the circuit is powered on, the voltage is converted into binary through analog-to-digital conversion. A high level represents 1 and a low level represents 0. In other words, it is converted from an analog circuit to a digital circuit, and the high and low voltage standards are determined artificially.

Usually the standard is below 2.5 for low and above 3.2 for high, that is, 0-1. The circuit only needs to identify high and low to perfectly represent binary, which is very easy to implement physically.

To simplify it, the basis of all electronic computers is two basic states, on and off. Magic elements can actually do the same, and even do a little more than electronics.

This is because electrons cannot achieve absolute zero voltage, or in other words, with the current level of technology in the Alliance, it is impossible for an energized analog circuit to reach zero voltage and still continue to exist and be recognized.

But magic elements can. The property structure of magic elements is more stable, and they can achieve three modes: high, low and nothing.

That is to say, if magic elements are used as a circuit, the ternary system of -1-0-1 can be achieved, that is, the three expressions of true, false, and unknown. In the long run, the advantages of the ternary system are numerous.

But Medea feels that the current focus will still be on binary, for the simplest reason.

At first, mechanical computers used the decimal system, which was the most suitable for the human brain's way of thinking. Why not use it? It was simply too complicated.

Moreover, hexadecimal is used more often than decimal. Four binary digits can represent the numbers 16-4, which is exactly a number that can be expressed in hexadecimal.

二进制的00101000直接可以转化为16进制的38，一个字是电脑的基本存储单元，一般来说计算机字长都是32位或者64位。

以32位为例也就是说一个字的位数是32，字节是8位数的数据单元，一个字节就可以表示0-255的数据。

The ternary system is different.

The ternary system will take up a large number of transistors to represent the three states, and requires more logic gates. The basic AND gate, NOT gate, and NAND gate cannot meet the requirements of the ternary system, and other gates are required, which will cause the computer's main frequency to decrease.

The difficulty of material preparation will increase by two levels. If the ternary system is better in cost control, then the ternary system will inevitably develop instead of being swept into the dustbin of history by the binary system.

You can say that capital is bad, but you must never question their sensitivity to costs and profit margins. After all, they dare to do anything for money, except spending money recklessly.

The route of expressing magic elements as circuits will be taken, but basically it is to spend money on experiments and slowly cultivate them, that is, electronic computers and elemental computers are developed in parallel.

The alliance does not need such high-end stuff for the time being, so the budget investment will be 8-2, 8 for electronics and 2 for elements.

Even the high-end of the ternary system is still in doubt~

At least it is not high-end in terms of circuit. The larger size increases the efficiency by about 1.5 times, but the quality is far more than just 1.5 times larger.

If the binary system of the alliance does not develop and replace existing ones on a large scale, then there will be almost no breeding ground for the development of the ternary system.

It is not without foundation to manufacture ternary system in this world. Inscription Technology is the basic foundation of existing ternary computer components. There is no need to start from diodes like electronic computers.

However, inscription etching also has its own problems, that is, micro-carving. The inscription magic road can be used as long as it is connected, but the design and carving of the magic road is not that simple.

A diameter of one centimeter is simple, but what about a diameter of one millimeter or one nanometer?

Develop binary below civilian and military jointly promote trial and error climbing technology.

Medea's tentative route is to manufacture high-precision equipment to push forward the rapid iteration of inscription alchemy technology, and then develop a magic element ternary computer.

Although their inscription technology is not good at micro-carving, this does not stop them from combining alchemy with semiconductor electronic technology~

For example, the crystal ore of magic elements is of extremely high purity. No matter what the purity of the ore is, other elements are eliminated by the ore itself, and different elements are incompatible with each other.

That's an interesting question. Can such crystals be cut into fixed shapes, with inscriptions carved directly on them to transform them into other practical objects?

Or cut it into small crystals and use it as a power supply node for a magic circuit board? It is not conductive, but it conducts magic! The effect is essentially the same.

You can even change your thinking and stick silver or copper wires on a crystal plate, and use the crystal plate as an energy source to power the wires. In this way, you can completely engrave small spells on a crystal plate.

No matter how small the spell is, it can't be smaller than a crystal plate, right? A crystal plate engraved with a wind blade is a small wind blade. What if ten of them are combined together? What if a hundred of them are combined together?

A lot of things can be done just by stacking them, and it can also be applied in many aspects of the military field, such as hanging several combination packages engraved with suspension magic under the airship.

The outside of the tank's armor is covered with large quantities of protective magic plates, just like reactive armor.

When attacked by magic, the crystal plates in an area will work together to produce the same magic, stacking and fusing with each other to increase power. After use, just replace the crystal plate package.

The future is now very clear. We will first establish a stable power supply network for power plants through vacuum tube technology.

Then the semiconductor industry was established to find a way to transform crystal plate etching from manual to precision processing.

With a stable power supply, the era of magic electrification has arrived before the internal combustion engine has figured out how to use it.

Chapter 156 Making fake silver coins~

The trade exchanges between the Alliance and the Holy See were actually quite frequent, even after receiving the oracle from the Goddess of Light.

The reason is simple. The Seris Alliance can only import raw materials, manufacture them into finished products and then sell them back to the mainland for anti-dumping. However, several countries on the mainland can only sell raw materials, and there is almost nothing that the alliance needs.

For the same product, the Chamber of Commerce of the Seris Alliance can rely on the large-scale enterprises behind it to offer lower prices and higher quality.

Media, which is regulating behind the scenes, has no intention of releasing all factory licenses so far, and the market has been in a state of demand exceeding supply.

In fact, some countries have thought of raising trade tariffs, but this tactic cannot be used due to shipbuilding commissions.

In addition to not wanting to offend Seris, there is also the factor that Seris accepts material settlement. The massive amount of material settlement makes the proportion of these aspects of the domestic economy astonishingly high.

Several kingdoms neighboring Seris have already subtly assumed the role of planting and mining several types of raw materials, such as ore, cotton planting, and crude oil exports.

Except for Serbia, other countries cannot absorb it at all. If you raise tariffs or raw material prices, you will hurt your own business while hurting the enemy.

By the way, Medea even wanted to see whether the continental alliance on the other side dared to play an economic war with her. She has always been on guard against this move of artificially suppressing the large-scale expansion of domestic enterprises.

With the support of the entire subcontinental market, if there are problems outside, she can turn external demand into domestic demand and increase investment in domestic infrastructure, but her competitors may not be able to do this.

The Vatican was somewhat restrained, but Medea did not have so many concerns when dealing with them.

In the special precision department, Medea, sitting in the main seat, looked at the church silver coin in his hand. As the magic power flowed in his hand, the silver coin emitted a faint glow.

"what?"

She took out a True Church silver coin from her space ring and activated it in her palm. The latter also emitted a glow and weighed roughly the same. If there was any difference, the magic rhythm of the latter might be more obscure...

Hawthorne, the former dwarf king and current casting master of the precision department, said proudly:

'When the Alliance united the forces of the Holy See subcontinent, it already had the template for minting the Holy See's silver coins. In terms of appearance, we can even make them more refined than the Holy See itself!'

Medea nodded. She knew this. It was at the former site of the Vatican's headquarters in the royal capital. She had visited it in person before, but she did not think too much about it at the time.

Because the purity of the Vatican's silver coins is over 95%, as a good magical material, the value of silver in this world is equivalent to that of gold, which has the same scarce reserves.

The silver coins of the Holy See have very strong circulation. Their regulations are unified, the content is similar, and the workmanship is also good. Before Seris promoted the paper currency, mainstream countries and people used the silver coins of the church.

The value of silver in this world is stable. It is difficult to imitate it with alloys to achieve the same level of magical transparency as silver. The authenticity can be determined by just trying it out.

But what's going on with this thing in her hand now?
