After all, this day's test did not turn into the Suzuka Yanai or the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race. In addition to the two enthusiastic people who were exempted from wages, because they had not received relevant training, they squandered all their energy in a short period of nearly two hours. Another reason was that the vehicles also needed to be inspected.
The most important thing is that there has never been such a high-intensity driving behavior since a certain group of people brought vehicle design to Midland. Lin Ke was quite curious whether the various internal parts, including the power system and transmission system, were made of magic materials and could still maintain their original appearance.
Of course, there were four silver-bearded dwarves who were also curious. They hope to transplant part of this structure into peaceful weapons, which are weapons for war. It would be funny if the chain dropped in the middle of the battle, so they were more worried about the durability of the machine than anyone else.
Since the car will be towed back to the factory for major disassembly, there will be no work done in the afternoon. On the pretext of sending two guests back to rest and going home for lunch, Lin ordered a tentative 732A car and drove Azad and William Greco away.
In fact, the automobile manufacturing and R&D center has a restaurant that provides lunch. After all, the work here is not an easy job. Having an extra meal at noon and taking a break will be helpful for work efficiency in the afternoon. Moreover, the workers here are not just migrant workers who can be manipulated by others. There are many masters who dare to raise the table with the boss at any time.
No matter how stingy Mr. Kawei's agent, the old housekeeper Ahanu, was, he would not dare to sting such a person. It is almost a daily routine for the center to cause trouble whenever they disagree. It made someone seriously consider whether to organize an internal disciplinary force to control everyone's habit of using fists to talk things over. Most of the waste produced was destroyed by our own people.
However, eating at noon is not the habit of people in Midi, so this part is not forced, and those who want to eat can go and eat. In other words, the restaurant is open and you can go and eat whenever you feel hungry.
Under normal circumstances, if someone wants to take a break and go home for dinner, the old housekeeper Aihanu will resist it. As long as he happened to be nearby and saw someone packing their things and preparing to leave, the old man would obstruct them in every possible way. Find ways to entangle the other person so that they cannot escape.
This is because Lin has to go to the college to teach mathematics in the afternoon. After lunch at home and before teaching, someone usually doesn't work so hard to come to the center and do something more or less unless it's really necessary. This means that during this period, you will be fished in troubled waters.
How could Ahanu tolerate this happening! According to him, someone should quit math classes and live wholeheartedly in the dormitories provided by the center. In fact, he would eat, drink, and sleep on the factory production line.
People are very generous with regard to how much money they get and how many things they do; but for those who can get dividends without doing anything, they should be urged to do it until they die. What kind of logic is this, someone still can’t figure it out. It seems that for the latter, you have to use it to get the best value for money.
But today someone said he wanted to leave, but the stubborn old man didn't even stop him, and didn't even look this way. Is this a sexual transition or a brain twitch? Listening to the two people in the back seat snoring, Lin realized that this was thanks to the emperor's own son!
By the way, if I summon Hagiri and give Azad a sword now, does it count as eliminating harm for the people?
But thinking that he had to stay away from the old man's harassment, the Demon Prince had to hold on to his brand. Having this shield should save you a lot of trouble.
But when I got home, looking at the messy courtyard that had mostly been tidied up, I still had the urge to cry.
The silver-bearded dwarf's workshop is still in ruins. They were picked up early in the morning, and research on new engines for trucks over at the center was reaching an important stage. After the important things were rescued last night, the rest was entrusted to the two girls and asked to be picked up by someone else.
The jacquard machine has been corrected. However, all the protruding parts on the top, including the lifting mechanism, were still smashed into a mess because the structure was too delicate. Needless to say, the silkworm coop is equally bad.
Uzov Gantia invited back a group of bricklayers and masons who are good at building houses and are helping the two girls clean up the mess here. As soon as he saw Lin coming back in the tentative 732A model with an open top, he greeted him as expected: "Boss, you're back." He just noticed the two people in the back seat and said with a strange expression: "You just went to attack A king-level monster?"
"Crunt against king-level monsters? Why do you say that?" Lin asked puzzledly.
"Otherwise, those two looked exhausted, lying in the back seat and sleeping soundly." Uzov explained.
Looking back, Lin smiled and said: "Oh, them. I think the guys we just dealt with are better than the king-level monsters. Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Just let them rest."
At this time, several leaders of the craftsmen who came to help also came forward to pay their respects. Uzov helped clear a space for parking. Unwilling to walk away, he followed him and stared at someone fiercely. Of course Lin knew that he had something to say, so he said: "If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Uzov smiled and said: "Boss, it's not a big deal. It's just that many people under me are asking when they can buy a car."
"Buy a car?" Lin asked in surprise.
"Yes. People from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce and people from Kawei Gong are using it. We asked people we know to find out, and we added it up in private. Although the price of the truck is a bit more expensive, the convenience is really not comparable to the original horse-drawn carriage. Especially since everyone is using them in the Holy City, there is no need to worry about road interruptions, collapses, etc., and repairs are easy, so I want to buy one or two and use them as official vehicles for the technical guild. There are also many well-off craftsmen down there who want to buy it. As for the young men who specialize in soliciting business, they want to buy small cars for transportation and run business in other districts. "
"Wow, if you cross the border like this, will the locals cause trouble?" Lin laughed.
"Boss, you don't know something. The needs of other districts in the Holy City, as well as local craftsmen, will more or less utilize the business of the Technology Guild. But more than once, someone mentioned that they hope I can open a local branch. It's like taking a risk. Like a guild or a mercenary guild. It’s just that there is no one I can trust who is familiar with guild affairs so that I can safely open a branch. Not everyone is willing to insist on guarding technology patents. If there is Using cars as a boost, we can expand the scope of influence of the Technical Guild without having to rely on establishing strongholds. And we have also calculated that as long as the logistics and supplies can keep up, buying a car is much more cost-effective than raising horses."
"It turns out there is a demand now." After getting out of the car, Lin looked at the tentative model car made of ordinary materials that drove back. Maybe it’s time to switch to a formal model and earn experience points while selling them. Just like the progress in the design and manufacturing of trucks, it is also the experience value contributed by the needs of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce and Kaweigong.
After thinking about it, Lin said: "If it is a four-seater small car, just come forward and contact the center's external reception staff. You are familiar with that person. He was seconded from the Technology Guild. I will go there. Say hello. As for the truck, wait a minute. The next improved model is almost finalized, and the proportion of magic materials used has also been reduced. Although there is a slight drop in performance, the price has dropped even more, and the reliability of other parts has also improved. increased."
"Oh, really. That's great. I'll go talk to the others." Uzov walked away happily.
At this time, Lin turned to look at the two people who were still sitting in the car. Although they had woken up, they lazily didn't want to get up, and asked: "You two, do you want to have lunch?"
Azad almost jumped up from his seat and said, "Eat, why not eat!"
William Greco did the same. He stood up slowly and dusted off his robes. The two of them squinted for a while and regained their spirits a little. The common feeling now is that they are thirsty and hungry, and they don't know where this feeling comes from.
It was obvious that he just moved his feet, turned the steering wheel and shifted gears. It's not like he had been through a fierce battle, so how could he be so tired?
Lin said to the two girls who were still directing the reconstruction plan in the ruins of the silkworm shed, "Girl, is lunch ready?"
Kaya trotted over alone and said, "Sister Wana is prepared. I'll go see if I can help." After that, she trotted away.
Lin and the other three people gave their allegiance and walked towards the main house.
With this free time, Lin You asked without saying a word: "I just drove for more than two hours. Do you have any thoughts, you two?"
"Those two cars must be failures." Azad belittled everything in the world as always.
Someone replied noncommittally: "It depends on how strict your definition of failure is. To me, if you have four wheels, you can run when you step on the accelerator, and you can stop when you step on the brake, then you have passed the test." .”
"You also said, it's just a passing grade. Compared with perfection, there is still a distance that you may never be able to cross."
"Oh, I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to let me know what part makes you have such resentment." Lin asked curiously, looking at the dissatisfaction on the Demon Prince's face and the small tuft of blue hair on his forehead.
"It's all a problem with the tires, front and rear. I haven't fully utilized the performance of the entire car. It's all limited by the grip of the tires. I can't use all the fifteen gears. , it can only reach the seventh gear at most." Almost face to face, Azad shook his index thumb to sign the '7' in dissatisfaction.
Lin still smiled and said: "Those two cars were originally built with a bunch of immature technologies. Plus the people who made them didn't care about balance at all. It's normal to make such a top-heavy monster. Right. But the manufacturing process of tires has improved a lot, and they have thought of adding magic materials to increase stickiness and wear resistance. If the original tires were of the same level, the two cars would just be digging sand in place."
