With the current state of the roads, if the front and rear wheels did not even have a suspension, the car would definitely be jolted out of the car. Roddy did not expect to come up with a multi-link suspension, but at least it needed a shock absorber. He glanced at the crudely crafted springs on the rear wheels, raised his head and asked, "In the research of the floating-space tower's magic circle, I remember there is a set of magic circles that can create a repulsive force between two magic circle slabs, right?"
The mage who was asked was stunned. He did not understand why Roddy suddenly asked this, and replied in a daze, "There is indeed such a magic circle."
"With a repulsive force of around 300 kilograms, what is the minimum area of carving?"
The mage gestured with his fingers, "That doesn't need to be very big, maybe even smaller than my palm."
"That's good. Make a set of circular magic circles, put it in a metal pipe, and use this idea to make a repulsive suspension."
This kind of repulsive magic circle was similar to a magnet of the same level, so Roddy directly gave up on the metal springs, and switched to this kind of "electromagnetic suspension" method for research and development. The existence of magic allowed Roddy to directly skip those things that might be involved in basic material science, and it did save a lot of trouble in this continent that was close to the level of medieval metallurgy.
The mage who had found the direction of research and development quickly understood Roddy's meaning. He nodded excitedly, but then said with some worry, "But Master Castellan … if we use this kind of suspension, we may use a lot of cobalt gold."
"Yes, I was just worried about not having a place to use it. The more conspicuous it is, the better. "
Roddy smiled mysteriously, and then touched the wooden frame of the car, nodding in satisfaction, "I will hire the best carpenters in Eiferta to build the shell for this car, the contours around the seats have to be like this —"
He was now also a true Elemental Summoner, drawing lines with magic was a piece of cake. After drawing the contours in the air with his fingers, Roddy did not forget to completely point at the back, "Leave a slot here, I still need the tail fins."
The mages did not understand what he was talking about. After all, "aerodynamics" was still a myth in this day and age. Roddy didn't expect them to understand. After sitting in the driver's seat, he touched the "car" that looked very primitive and felt very strange. After Elsen City got rid of the crisis, everything went out of the original framework of the game. If these things that he had researched could be mass-produced, then what he would face next might be an "industrial revolution" …
But before that, he had to face a difficult problem: energy.
"City Lord?"
"Hmm?" Roddy turned his head and saw an attendant holding a letter outside the laboratory. Only then did he realize that he had been distracted. He walked over to pick up the letter and read it, but he frowned.
This letter was written by Houdini. Roddy was very satisfied with the coastline's summary and suggestions, but the discovery of the ruins and the deep pit left him a little confused.
Ruins of the High Elves?
Roddy went through the books that could possibly refer to this place in his mind, but then he smacked his head. With Sylvia, a real High Elf, here, he did not ask her. Instead, he thought of going to the library to flip through the books. He was really asking for fish from a tree.
He first looked for Akasha, and after confirming that Sylvia was fine, they knocked on the door together. The latter seemed to be very surprised by Roddy's attitude. Although she still did not want to believe the truth, she still welcomed the current City Lord into the room and cooperated with him to answer his questions.
And the result was just as Roddy expected. The ruins that Houdini found were the former High Elves' port city, Varantine Hill.
This port was one of the most developed trading cities of the High Elves. There used to be more than a million permanent residents, and there were countless ships coming and going. Roddy only now knew that the High Elves had started to explore the world with their own advantages. He immediately asked, "Then … is it possible that some of the High Elves escaped from the demons and orcs and escaped to other continents?"
Sylvia shook her head, "After the war broke out, Elsen City basically lost contact with other cities. As for the fate of Varantine Hill, I don't know either."
She was very conflicted. She wanted to see the living descendants of the High Elves, but she felt that it would be meaningless to see them in her current "dead" state. She might even be treated as an alien.
Roddy knew that it would take some time for her to accept the reality. He memorized the name of Varantine Hill and asked, "Is there a big hole in the middle of this city? The kind with a diameter of more than 300 feet. "
"Hole?" Sylvia was confused. She shook her head, "I've never been to Varantine Hill, but I've never heard of such a big hole. If you want to talk about the landmark of Varantine Hill, it should be the giant magic tower in the center of the city. I only remember that Professor Cadgar worked there for a period of time, and he wrote a thesis on 'How to Charge Crystals by Using Tides'. He even won a prize for it. "
This news made Roddy's expression change. He asked carefully, "Tidal Charge? Is it a way to replace the Magic crystal? "
If this news was true, then the future of the Tidal Charge crystal would be bright. Its influence would be no less than that of controllable nuclear fusion!
However, Sylvia poured a bucket of cold water on him, "Professor Cadgar did research on this topic, but everything was still in the theoretical stage. The equipment used for the experiment was all in Varantine Hill, and … the war broke out before the experiment could be put into use."
Roddy could not help but feel a little disappointed. At least he could confirm that it was indeed the port of the High Elves, and the theory of Tidal Charge had been perfected. All that was left to do was to verify it.
He stood up to express his gratitude and politely left Sylvia's room. After leaving the room, he asked Akasha, "Can you feel her emotions?"
"I can't," Akasha shook her head, "I don't know when she will accept the reality. Also, I don't think it's a good idea to leave her alone like this."
"I'll hire her as a researcher in the Elson Magic Research Institute in the name of the city lord. You can help her with her psychological work when you have time. It's very important for Elson to have a ghost who knows the history and culture of the High Elves."
Roddy knew that Sylvia was a real treasure. The history and culture of the High Elves were like a maze shrouded in black fog, and her existence was a living map. No matter what, Roddy hoped to maintain a good relationship with her.
"Okay, I'll talk to her more," Akasha saw that Roddy was walking towards the mansion, so she asked, "Is there any new arrangement?"
"I'm going to reply to Houdini. All the people and materials will arrive at the southern coast in 15 days. After that, I'll follow him to Lassiman. But I'll go to the eastern part of the kingdom first tomorrow, and I'll be back soon. "
"That's where the enemy is … You're going alone?"
"It's only safe if I'm alone. Don't worry, with the abilities of those nobles, they won't even know where I'm going."
Akasha knew that Roddy was not bluffing. Even she could not fathom his current strength. Also, she could clearly feel that the aura in Roddy's body was becoming more and more solid when she slept for the past few days. This kind of strength was close to a qualitative change. Even the powerful bishops she had met before did not have this kind of strength.
