Because cars weren't widespread yet, as long as they heard the sound of an engine, the sentry at the door would raise the bar for access and let people in directly. Of course, they would also see who was in the car and register.
Duke Carvey's old butler, Aihanu, could be said to be a familiar face, and so was that mage. But the two people in the back seat were unfamiliar guests, but those who could follow those two in should be people who had been invited. But why did that old butler's expression look so serious?
When the car drove straight in, the captain who put down the bar thought of the face in the back seat that felt familiar to him, Devil Prince Azad …
"No way," he whispered and turned to ask his other colleagues. "Did you notice who was sitting in the back seat of the car just now?"
"Who? Wasn't it the guests invited by those two? "another person on the sentry post asked.
"Why do I feel like there's someone in the back seat, it's that emperor's fourteenth son?"
At the mention of that taboo figure, everyone looked at each other. Someone asked, "Captain, are you sure?"
"No, I'm not sure either," the captain said straightforwardly.
"Then, should we inform the people inside?"
"Let's. If it's really that person, we have to be prepared. And that's not something we can stop. "
After everyone decided, they used the internal warning system to inform the group of people who weren't on duty in the military camp. They also used the restricted access section on the forum to tell them about their findings. The duke's guards, who were resting, were in a mess.
Facing the Devil Prince who was no different from a natural disaster, even if they were warriors that Grand Duke Carvey was proud of, there was no good way to deal with it. There were some existences that human beings couldn't resist. But they still had to discuss a way.
In the end, everyone decided to send a group of people to follow behind that person. At least when the other party made a move, someone could warn them, and the other guards would have a chance to evacuate the people in the center.
And the people sent out were to find the invited guests on the experimental field.
Today's experimental field was going to conduct three sets of crash tests. One set was with the heavy knights of the duke's guards as the reference standard, one set was with Car 0, and the last set was with the provisional model 732A, a car made of ordinary materials.
In front of each group, there were ten groups of round obstacles, and behind the round obstacles, there were five groups of cement blocks. Naturally, the Duke's Guards would help to prepare the heavy knights. Lin Sheng's main task was to set up simple magic puppets on the two vehicles to replace the dummies used on Earth. In addition to collecting collision data, it was also responsible for simple control of the vehicle.
Azad and William Greco were naturally curious about this new thing that they had never seen before. Fortunately, most of the questions could be answered by the other mages and craftsmen, because those were the same questions that they had asked before.
After confirming that all the sensors were connected, the experiment began. Because the Heavy Knight belonged to the control group, he started first.
The warhorse he rode possessed the bloodline of a Magical Beast. Not only was it large in size, but its speed was also outstanding. Together with a full body armor and a knight wearing heavy armor, this combination could be said to be a great killing machine on the battlefield.
Even among the Duke's guards, only about half of the men and horses were equipped with such a set. In order to make more flexible use of the thousand-man Duke's Guard, it was impossible to equip half of the knights with such heavy armor. As the vanguard of the charge, there were only two hundred of them.
The knight rode his horse and retreated to the charging distance. After confirming that everyone was ready, he ordered the horse to move forward. At the same time, in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the warhorse, a trumpeter blew the charging horn. He urged the horse to increase its speed to the extreme and used the knight's exclusive combat skill – War Charge!
At the moment of using the combat skill, the man and horse reached the realm of one. The power was like the reappearance of an ancient giant beast, making a frightening roar and whistling forward! After breaking three logs in a row, the warhorse stood up and stopped in front of the fourth log obstacle.
The knight controlled the warhorse, paced back to the starting point of the test area, and said with satisfaction, "Three logs were broken. I thought it would be less. If it was an infantry phalanx, I am confident that I can cut through it alone. Dealing with this kind of position-type facility is really not what the warhorse is good at. "
Lin didn't comment on the inexplicable sense of superiority of the Duke's Guard's knights. Instead, he carefully looked at the feedback data.
Because it was flesh and blood, Lin didn't ask the other party to go all out and hit the last moment before his death. Instead, he asked the other party to do their best to break through the obstacles in front of them. The three log obstacles almost consumed half of the warhorse's kinetic energy. In addition, the warhorse's instinct was to stop itself before it was in danger, so it couldn't ask for more.
After a little tidying up, they prepared for the next set of experiments. The test vehicle made of ordinary materials would be the first to go. Because the materials suitable for the gearbox and the transmission shaft were not mature, these two standards were lowered to the extent that the existing materials could bear the load. With two gears in front and one in reverse, the vehicle could reach a maximum speed of 45 kilometers per hour. It took about 44 seconds to accelerate from zero to the maximum speed.
Because it wasn't like the crash test on Earth, there was a traction device that could instantly increase the speed of the vehicle to the target value, so Lin could only use the method of increasing the distance and controlling the magic puppet to increase the speed.
The magic puppet's braking was very simple. The right hand was in gear, the left hand was holding the steering wheel, the right foot was on the accelerator, and the left foot was on the clutch. In addition, the body was equipped with sensors to detect the impact. When the vehicle and the magic puppet were ready, everyone worked together to reverse the vehicle to a sufficient distance before starting the magic puppet.
The engine made of ordinary materials let out a sharp cry, and the sound of the exhaust pipe was like the sound of a patient who was short of breath, making intermittent gasps. When the speed was increased to the maximum, the test vehicle hit the first log head-on with a bang, and the rear of the vehicle was instantly lifted up. When the rear of the vehicle landed heavily, the vehicle came to a stop.
Of course, the first log wasn't unscathed. It was half-broken, but it wasn't broken. Such a result made the Duke's Guards laugh, and some of them made some ridiculous remarks. Including, "In the crash test, the warhorse should have been directly against the vehicle from the beginning, they can still overturn the vehicle 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 sent to this place. But such sour words weren't enough to defeat a certain guy who claimed to have a face thicker than the city wall. Lin just checked the last vehicle to be tested, No. 0.
Everything was ready, and several mages and craftsmen pushed the vehicle back a distance. After calculation, according to the acceleration of No. 0, it could reach a distance of 60 kilometers per hour when it hit the first log obstacle.
And according to the request of Duke Carville, who was actually his agent, the butler Ahanu, the magic array engraved on the hood was activated. Magic – Barbaric Charge, ranked among the top ten most useless magic, was the only offensive magic.
Imagine, what would happen if an egg was smashed against a rock. It wasn't hard to understand why this destructive magic was despised by mages. From the moment the mages who invented this magic, the moment they completed it, they slammed themselves against the wall and smashed into a pile of minced meat. When they couldn't take it or committed suicide, this magic was the first choice of mages. It was guaranteed to be painless, and resurrection spells couldn't save them.
But this Barbaric Charge magic was quite useful when used on sturdy magic puppets, although it wasn't without shortcomings, such as difficult to control, and difficult to control when to stop the magic puppet. So Duke Carville and the others wanted to know what kind of effect this magic would have on a custom-made vehicle made entirely of magic materials.
To be honest, a certain someone was also very interested to know. So, the magic puppet was activated.
The acceleration of No. 0 was not comparable to that of the Model 732A, and the difference could be clearly heard from the sound of the exhaust pipe. But as soon as they started, Lin discovered the first miscalculation, and that was the grip of the tires.
Because the movements of the magic puppet were quite rough and not delicate at all, the result of heavy throttle and release of the clutch was that the tires were idling in place, and it became the scene of the first tire burn. Even though the materials of the tires had been studied and improved by the craftsmen in the center, they still couldn't accurately guide all the power of the engine to the ground.
Just as the heat of the tires increased and they grabbed the ground, No. 0 shot out like an arrow. Lin didn't doubt at all that this thing would crash into the obstacles in front of it at a speed faster than the predetermined 60 kilometers per hour.
The first log obstacle was shattered, the second log was shattered, the third … and even the tenth log obstacle was shattered, and No. 0 continued to ravage the cement roadblocks. Some were knocked away, some were knocked over, some were sent flying, and some were sprayed into the sky. The last cement roadblock, which they had high hopes for, was smashed into two from the middle.
The group of people was stunned as they watched No. 0 drive away. Including the man riding on the fully armored warhorse, when he remembered that he had boasted that he would collide with the car, he trembled and couldn't say anything. The other Duke's Guards had the same thought, and they all looked at each other.
William Greco asked a timely question, "Do you have a way to stop that car?"
"Hmm, that's a really good question. Has anyone thought about it? "Lin turned to look at the Magicians and craftsmen in charge of the experiment. Everyone's eyes widened, and they all shook their heads in unison.
"Then …" Lin looked at the old butler, Ahmanu, and the Duke's Guards.
However, looking at their fearful expressions, he didn't really want to talk to them about such trivial matters. Because if he didn't think of a way, the car would rush out of the experiment field. If they were lucky, they might stop after hitting a mountain, or they might stop after running out of fuel. If they were unlucky, they didn't know where they would run to.
