Yin Zidian

Is Magic really just a wish machine?
No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics.
This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic.
But what of it?
Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature.
Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician.
But yearning for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even for Magic, which should seemingly defy explanation, humans hope to understand its inherent operational laws.
The pursuit of Magic's ultimate nature requires no reason!
The story in this book takes place in an era where steel and gunpowder dance together.
Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques. And this world has something more than ours: Magic.
The world is undergoing a profound transformation, and no one can remain detached from it...

The only interesting thing was the water-powered hammer.


Ever since old Gangchalov spent a fortune to invite craftsmen from the Steel Fortress to build the first water-powered hammer ten years ago, water-powered hammers have been blooming all over Forging Village.


Because the principle and the mechanical structure of this device are not complicated, one glance is enough to understand how it works.


The biggest problem is the cost; both construction and maintenance require money, which small shops like the one in Wolf Town run by old Misha just can't afford.


Before even entering the town, Winters had seen the waterwheels by the river, which is why he took the initiative to ask for a tour of the workshop.


"My lord, please look. This is the hammer that my father commissioned master craftsmen from the Steel Fortress to make. It has been ten years, but it is still the best hammer in Forging Village," Gangchalov proudly introduced one of the hammers.
