At the end of the day, someone started to question himself. Just because magicians in the past couldn't do it doesn't mean that they can't do it now. There was no programming language in the past. If you use a programming language to pre-set the desired result, and then use plastic surgery, is it possible to achieve this so-called 'self-healing' effect, or even... deformation?
However, Lin did not think about it carefully. He smiled and said: "It seems that this idea is not without future. But it is a new topic, so there is no rush to study it. Are you two interested in trying the car?" The invitation is, of course. They were Azad and William Greco, two enthusiastic and restless brothers.
In addition to the three obstacles just arranged on the experimental site, there is a larger temporary runway surrounded by triangular cones, and the ground is particularly smooth. There is no way, there are too many unclaimed lands in the lost land. If necessary, enclose a land in the wild, set fire to the forest, drive away monsters and beasts, and at the same time prepare the land.
Although a certain time traveler from the era of rising environmental awareness is somewhat resistant to setting fire to forests. But there is no denying that this is the best option for pioneering in Lost Land. Otherwise, a large number of people would have to be recruited to take back the land from the monsters inch by inch, and then cut down trees and prepare the land. In a world without heavy machinery, it would be impossible to build such a large area of land in a year and a half.
So, let’s burn it. That is to say, in this way, a runway with a length of 6.7 kilometers can be built in a short time. And because it is temporarily enclosed with triangular cones, the runway plan can be changed at will.
Although most people don't know what Lin's intention is in planning such a large runway. But it is undeniable that there is an inexplicable pleasure in driving on it. This is the most popular event at the center whenever a car needs to be tested on the track.
But Azad looked at the car rolling in front of him and said with a strange look in his eyes: "Just take this car~"
I don’t know whether this person’s eyes were disgusted by the car rolling over, or whether he felt that taking turns driving was boring. Lin smiled and said: "You two get into the passenger seat and back seat of this car first. I will teach you how to operate it. After running around for a while, another There are two cars for you to try." At the same time, he turned to the others and said: "Cars No. 2 and No. 3 are not assembled yet, just bring them over and put them on the road for testing."
Because of the selfishness of the silver-bearded dwarves, the engines of each customized car are different. Of course, I will also run it on the test machine before assembling it, so I don’t have to worry about the running-in period.
In addition, the No. 0 car had just rolled over so many times and there were no serious injuries on the whole, so Lin felt relieved and handed the car over to two laymen. Anyway, even if they had a serious accident, they would be able to protect themselves, and the repair of the vehicle would not be a problem. By the way, the windshield of car No. 0 is made of some kind of special transparent crystal, which is also a ground material, so it is not as fragile as glass.
Azad and William Greco had no objection to Lin's proposal. It is indeed difficult for them to drive without knowing how to control it. Neither of them is crazy enough to think that they can figure out how to use something just by touching it. Of course, if someone can teach me, I can’t help but ask for it.
Others are even more afraid to have opinions. Perhaps the name of the White Sword Saint William Greco has not reached their ears, but no one has the courage to refute the Demon Prince alone. Even the old housekeeper Aihanu, the agent of Kawei who had to take care of everything, was like a grandson at this time. He could only nod his head at everything and did not dare to shake his head.
While waiting for cars No. 2 and 3 to be brought, Lin first asked them to get on car No. 0 and explained each part in person. The interior layout of these customized cars is basically the same, only the distance will be slightly different depending on the user's body size. But this difference is not a big problem for top warriors who can control their bodies accurately.
After a brief operating instruction, Lin drove the two of them around for a lap while explaining some techniques for controlling the car. This includes paying attention to the upper limit of the engine speed, slowing down and downshifting before entering a corner, taking the outside and inside route, and accelerating after halfway. At what speed should the speed be controlled? The vehicle will be in its most powerful and controllable state. How to handle continuous curves and hairpin turns. Of course, there are also instructions on tire use, grip and other issues.
Maybe I wasn't a professional racing driver before I traveled through time, but I had been obsessed with Formula 1 racing for a while, and I also had knowledge about racing cars. Although it may not be very good in practice, it is enough to scare others into a daze.
As the Demon Prince who is always making comments whether he knows it or not, of course he has to express his opinions on the behavior of turning left and right. "It's obviously so big, why do you have to be restrained by those weird things? Are those pointed hat-like things stronger than the logs and low walls that were smashed before?"
Someone doesn't have the ability of Fujiwara Takumi's father to flick his tail around a corner while lighting a cigarette and chatting with his hands. Interrupted by Azad, the car turned around and lost control again. But this time it didn't roll over, it just flicked and knocked away a row of triangular cones.
Lin, who stopped the car, looked at Azad's serious expression and swallowed back what he wanted to say. But after thinking about it seriously, he said: "If you run around without restrictions, you are just playing with the car at best. At most, you know how fast the car accelerates in a straight line and what the top speed of the car can be. But a car There are more than just these two performance indicators. With the addition of fixed restricted routes, more things can be tested, including steering ability, braking distance, etc. And these depend on the driver's control over the vehicle. Simply put, having a fixed route makes it easier to distinguish the quality of the vehicle and the driver's skills. If it is the same car and driven by the same person, it means whether the car has reached its limit and whether the driving skills have improved. "
He doesn’t like fighting, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about winning or losing, especially his own winning or losing. William Greco then asked: “Then how do you identify the situation you are talking about? How do you know if you have made progress? , or have you used the car to its limit?"
Lin said: "It's very simple, timing. I used to drive the No. 0 car and run the track planned now. If I ran smoothly, it would take about eight or nine minutes. If I ran six minutes on any lap, Does this mean that my running speed is faster than before? You can agree with that." As he spoke, Lin controlled the vehicle to return to the track and continue to move forward.
Before William could express his opinion, Azad interjected: "To decide the outcome under restricted conditions, you can only find the winner who best suits the conditions, not the real strong one. This kind of boring and stupid behavior , does it make any sense?”
As expected of a professional complainer, it’s really hit the nail on the head. This must also be said about the social atmosphere of the land. Victory and defeat usually determine life and death. There is rarely a competitive nature and the activities are determined by competition. Even if there are, they are among nobles, involving performances, gambling, or bloody and violent arena activities.
And among men, when it comes to real victory or defeat, it must be decided on the battlefield. The loser dies, the winner lives, no matter what.
So Lin didn't know how to reply to this guy's question in a world that didn't have a variety of sports and competitive atmospheres like Earth. "Well, maybe... in fact, these cars are only built to replace the role of horses and carriages, so that they can travel longer distances in a shorter time, or carry heavier goods. Is it strong or not, sincerely It’s not important. The purpose of designing such a runway is to simulate situations that may be encountered on actual roads.”
After returning to the starting point of the experimental site and stopping, Lin turned around and asked: "Those two, are you still testing the car?"
"Try! Why not try." Azad was the first to get out of the car and came to Car No. 2 and Car No. 3 sent by other magicians to look at them. Although William Greco took a step forward slowly, he was not in a hurry.
Car No. 2, ordered by Nguyen Wen Yue from the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce, and Car No. 3, ordered by Grand Duke Kawi, are both based on the style of luxury cars from the early 20th century on Earth. The characteristic is that the front of the car is extremely long, which is to accommodate the large-capacity engine. The rear of the car is shorter, and the storage space in the rear of the car is also much smaller.
The carriage is of course closed, and they are more concerned about whether they will get their heads shot like Kennedy than showing off their faces. The body is stable and thick, with many rounded arc-shaped steel plates covering the body. He had the aura of 'even if I can't blind you, I can still kill you, you piece of shit'.
After the design of the engine room is planned, the front end of the car does not actually need to be that long. Even though the engine capacity used by these two vehicles is much larger than the heaviest trucks currently built, the horsepower is so powerful that by connecting several carriages, they can be used directly as locomotives, surpassing the level of steam trains.
But the extra front space of these two cars is used to carry a very important experimental device, a semi-permanent rechargeable solid-state energy pool code-named 'battery'. It is the most important part of the peaceful armed energy center.
The reason why the original manufacturing method is not used to build an energy center is not because the manufacturing method is lost, but because the Silverbeard Dwarves hope to create a new energy center that integrates engine and energy storage. It is hoped that the final product will be at least twice as powerful as the old model.
After so many experiments on the engine part, they already have a clue. However, the energy storage part is limited by materials and has not made much progress. With the help of someone taking the initiative to provide materials this time, they finally got the best materials intended to be used to make batteries and actually made them.
During discussions and research with Lin, the direction they chose was based on the semi-permanent energy pools that are installed on most airships. The biggest difference between it and the energy pool of the Magic Tower is that it cannot generate energy independently and can only store it.
However, the size of the car is no larger than that of an airship. Of course, it cannot use the full version of the airship's energy pool design. Instead, it must be miniaturized and, more importantly, stabilized, which is also the most important part of the original design. Without the stable design, this thing is no different from a high-yield bomb.
The final MiDi version of the battery was a big thing that took up nearly half of the space in the front of the car. It can be said that in terms of performance, it is not inferior to the energy center used by the peaceful armed forces. Apart from the shortcoming that its size is not inferior to that of the Peaceful Arms, this is already the most satisfactory achievement of the Silverbeard Dwarves in the recent past.
