Because cars are not yet commonplace, as long as the sound of the engine is heard, the sentry at the door will raise the access control bar to allow people to enter directly. Of course, they will also check who is in the car and register them.
Kaweigong's old housekeeper Ahanu is a familiar face, and so is the magician. But the two people in the back seat were strangers, but those who could follow those two in were probably invited. Just why, that old housekeeper's expression was very serious.
When the car drove straight in, the team leader put down the crossbar and thought of the familiar face in the back seat, the Demon Prince Azad...
"No way." He whispered, turning to ask other colleagues. "Did you notice who was sitting in the back seat of the car just now?"
"Who? Aren't they the two invited guests?" Another person on the sentry asked back.
"Why do I feel that there is a person in the back seat? He is the fourteenth son of His Majesty the Emperor."
When the taboo figure was mentioned, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Someone asked: "Captain, are you sure?"
"No, I'm not sure either." The team leader said simply.
"Then, notify the people inside?"
"Let me know. If it's really that person, you have to be prepared. And that's not something we can stop."
After everyone decided, they used the internal warning system to notify the group of people who were not on duty in the military camp. And used the limited permissions section on the forum to talk about their findings. As a result, they were not on duty, and the Duke's guards were in a state of panic while they were resting.
Facing the demon princes who are no different from natural disasters, even if they are warriors that would make Grand Duke Kawei proud, there is no good way to deal with them. Some existences cannot be resisted by human beings. But we still have to work out a way.
Finally, everyone decided to send a team of people to follow that one. At least someone can warn the other party when they take action, and the other guards will also have the opportunity to evacuate the people in the center.
The manpower sent was to find the invited guests at the experimental site.
Today's experimental site is preparing to conduct three sets of crash tests. One set uses the heavy knights of the Duke's Guard as the reference standard, one set uses the No. 0 car, and the other set uses the tentative model 732A car, all made of ordinary materials. of cars.
Ten sets of log obstacles are placed in front of each group, and there are five sets of cement blocks behind the logs. The Heavy Knight naturally had people from the Duke's Guard helping to prepare. Lin mainly set up simple test golems on the two vehicles to replace the Earth's test dummies. In addition to collecting collision data, it is also responsible for simply controlling the vehicle forward.
Azad and William Greco were of course full of curiosity about this new thing they had never seen before. They kept asking questions around the two cars. Fortunately, other magicians or craftsmen were able to answer most of the questions, because those were questions they had asked before.
After confirming that all sensors are connected, the experiment preparation begins. Because the Heavy Knight belongs to the control group, he starts first.
The war horse he rides on has the blood of Warcraft. It is not only big in size, but also has excellent load-bearing and speed. Combined with a full-coverage vest and a heavily armored knight, this combination can be said to be a powerful weapon on the battlefield.
Even among the Duke's Guards, only about half of the men and horses can equip this complete set. In order to more flexibly utilize the thousands of Duke's Guards, it was impossible to equip half of the knights with such heavy equipment. As a heavy cavalry that rushes into the formation with sharp knives, there are only two hundred cavalry.
The knight rode his horse and retreated to charging distance. After confirming that everyone was ready, they spurred their horses forward under the command. At the same time, in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the horses, a trumpeter blew the charge horn nearby. Ride your horse to increase your speed to the extreme, and use the knight's exclusive combat skill - War Charge!
At the moment when the combat skills are used, the man and the horse become one, and their power is like the reappearance of an ancient beast, making a frightening roar and roaring forward! After breaking three logs in a row, the horseman stood up and stopped in front of the fourth log obstacle.
The knight controlled the horse, walked back to the starting point of the test area, and said with satisfaction: "I broke three of them, I thought it would be less. If it were an infantry square, I would be sure to break through it on my own. To deal with this type of formation The facilities are indeed not what war horses are good at.”
Lin did not comment on the inexplicable sense of superiority of the knights of the Duke's Guard, but carefully looked at the data fed back.
Because they were flesh and blood, Lin did not ask the other party to use all his strength to hit him at the last moment before his death. Instead, let the opponent do their best to hit the obstacles in front of them as much as possible. The three log obstacles consume almost half of the war horse's kinetic energy. Coupled with the biological instinct, it will stop its actions before it is in danger, and it is impossible to ask for more.
After a little tidying up, we prepared for the next set of experiments, starting with the prototype car made of ordinary materials. Because materials suitable for gearboxes and driveshafts are not yet mature, both standards are reduced to the point where existing materials can bear the load. With two forward gears and one reverse gear, the maximum speed can reach 45 kilometers per hour. Acceleration from zero to top speed takes about forty-four seconds.
Because unlike the impact test on Earth, there is a traction device that can instantly increase the speed of the vehicle to the target value, so Lin can only increase the speed by increasing the distance and using the controlled golem.
Braking on the Golem is very simple. You shift gears with your right hand, hold the steering wheel tightly with your left hand, accelerator with your right foot, and clutch with your left foot. In addition, there are sensors on the body for impact. After the settings of the car and the golem were ready, everyone worked together to back up the car far enough before starting the golem.
The engine made of ordinary materials made a sharp scream, and the sound of the exhaust pipe was like the intermittent gasping of a patient suffering from shortness of breath. When the speed increased to the extreme, with a bang, the prototype car hit the first log head-on, and its tail instantly lifted up. When the rear of the car hit the ground hard, the car stopped.
Of course, the first log was not unharmed. It was broken in half by the impact, but it was not broken. Such an achievement caused the people in the Duke's Guard to chuckle and make some unintelligible remarks. Including 'In the crash test, the war horses should be directly faced with the car from the beginning. They can still overturn the car with their flesh and blood' and so on.
Regardless of where this group of people's mysterious self-confidence came from, Lin clearly knew that half of the Duke's Guards had a lot of complaints about being assigned here. But such harsh words were not enough to defeat a guy who claimed to have a face thicker than the city wall. Lin was just inspecting the last No. 0 car to be tested.
Everything was ready, and several magicians and craftsmen pushed the vehicle back a certain distance. After calculation, according to the acceleration of car No. 0, it can reach a speed of 60 kilometers per hour when it hits the first log obstacle.
And in accordance with the request of Duke Kawei, who is actually his agent, butler Ahanu, the magic circle carved on the hood was activated. Magic──Savage Crash, ranks among the top ten most useless magics, and is the only attack magic.
Just imagine what would happen if you hit an egg on a rock. It is not difficult to understand why this destructive magic is despised by magicians. From the moment the magician invented it, he hit himself against the wall and turned into a puddle of flesh when he finished the magic. When he couldn't think about it or committed suicide, this magic was the first choice for magicians. Guaranteed no pain, no resurrection spell can save you.
However, this savage collision magic is quite easy to use on a sturdy golem, although it is not without its shortcomings, such as difficulty in control and difficulty in mastering the timing of stopping the golem. So Kaweigong and the others wanted to know what kind of effect this magic would have on a custom-made car made of all magic materials.
Honestly, someone would be interested to know too. So, activate the golem.
The acceleration of the No. 0 car is not comparable to that of the 732A, and the difference can be clearly heard from the sound of the exhaust pipe. But as soon as he started, Lin discovered the first miscalculation, which was the tire grip.
Because the action controlled by the golem is quite extensive and not delicate at all, the result of heavy accelerator and release of the clutch is that the tires spin in place, which became the first tire burnout scene in the world. Even if the tire material has been researched and improved by the craftsmen at the center, it still cannot guide all the power of the engine to the ground correctly.
The moment the tires heated up and gripped the ground, car No. 0 shot out like an arrow. Lin had no doubt that this thing would hit the obstacle in front of it at a speed faster than the scheduled speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
Just look at the first log barrier smashed, the second log smashed, the third log barrier... and even after the tenth log barrier was smashed, the No. 0 car continued to destroy the cement road barrier. Some were knocked away, some were knocked over, some were knocked away, and some were sprayed into the sky. The last cement roadblock, which had high hopes, was smashed into two pieces.
A group of people were just dumbfounded, watching car No. 0 drive away. Including the man riding on the fully armored war horse, when he remembered that he had boasted that he would hedge against this car, he was trembling and couldn't say anything. The other members of the Duke's Guard had the same idea, and they all looked at each other in confusion.
William Greco asked a question at the right time: "Do you have a way to stop that car?"
"Well, that's a really good question. Has anyone thought about it?" Lin turned to look at the magicians and craftsmen responsible for the experiment. Everyone had wide-eyed expressions and shook their heads in unison.
"Then..." Lin then looked at the old butler Ahanu and the people of the Duke's Guard.
But looking at their avoidant expressions, I didn't really want to talk to them about anything. Because if we don't think of a way, the car will rush out of the experimental site. If you are lucky, you may stop when you hit a mountain, or you may stop when you run out of fuel. If you are unlucky, you don’t know where you will reach the end of the world.
