"Do you have a way to deal with that rampaging big guy?" Azad said gloatingly.
Lin Xiang said without thinking, "Actually, it's not hard." In the next moment, he disappeared from where he stood.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the out of control car 0 suddenly crossed the body of the car. It flipped and rolled a dozen times before coming to a stop.
"Wow, what a tragic way to stop. If a person was inside, they would have died a heroic death. "Azad continued to mock.
At this moment, Lin appeared beside him and praised, "Yes, if a person was inside, it would be very dangerous. As expected, the Barbaric Charge spell isn't that easy to control. "
Ahanu looked at the magician who had reappeared in shock and stammered, "How did you..."
But before the old butler could finish, Lin said to the magician in charge of recording the results of the experiment, "Please record that when the car uses Barbaric Charge, the car cannot control its direction. This may be due to the inertia of the magic, which cannot be changed by physical means. If you insist on changing it, it will cause an accident. However, it should be able to automatically deactivate the effect of the magic and activate it later. The timing of the change of direction will have to be tested separately. "
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Also, please record any mistakes in the test steps. After car 0 hit the obstacle, it was still in a state of acceleration. In other words, the magic puppet's settings had to be changed to deactivate the acceleration state after the collision. Otherwise, the impact of the accelerated car would only continue to increase. This thing with a bucket in the front can be used as a bulldozer. What a joke. Oh, you don't have to record the last sentence, it was just a casual remark. "
After saying that, Lin saw that the group was still in a daze, so he clapped his hands and said, "Don't be in a daze. Move car 0 back. We still have to record the damage after the collision. Unfortunately, I unfastened the seat belt of the magic puppet inside, so there's no value in testing the damage after the collision. However, if you want to know what kind of damage will be caused to the people inside after the car rolls at high speed, it can still be used as a reference. However, the prerequisite is that you have the intention to retrieve it. "
As if waking up from a dream, the magicians and craftsmen rushed towards car 0 in a panic. After turning the car over in a hurry, they pushed it back together.
While the group was busy in the distance, Azad exclaimed, "So that's how it is. The weakness is inside. What a useless discovery. I thought I would be able to see Mr. Magician show off his prowess and cut that monster in half with your Cassette Cutting. "
"I'm so glad that things didn't come to that. And I think that the most important thing for a machine is controllability, not something that can easily go out of control. Isn't it a good thing to have a simple way to control the source of the accident? "
"Let me ask you a question."
"Excuse me."
"Who do you think will win if this chariot collides with the heavy cavalry?" Azad asked this face-slapping question provocatively. However, the Duke's guards seemed to know who the speaker was, and they all pretended as if nothing had happened and looked away. Even if he was ridiculed, he would never turn his head back.
However, Lin said helplessly, "You just want to hear such offensive words from me, don't you? Why do I have to state the obvious again? Are you even less intelligent than a child? Besides, there was no comparison between the two on a practical level. What's more valuable is the first car that can't even break through the first log. "
Azad was silent. He looked at the chariot that was being pushed back and the other chariot that had crashed into it with a serious look. William Greco then asked, "Is it a problem with the army?"
"That's right, my friend," Lin agreed. "But I prefer to use the term mass production. The chariot that was crashed can be mass produced, but this chariot that can break through the fifteen-story barrier can't be mass produced. "
"Materials?" William Greco guessed again.
Lin clapped his hands and said, "Correct, it's a problem with the materials. Just like the weapons and armor worn by the Heroes in the legends. If they were really that powerful, all the troops would be equipped with a set, and they would be able to push back the Demon King's Army. But in fact, the reason why those weapons and armor are precious and only used by the Heroes is because they are powerful and rare. This chariot is in a similar situation. Do you know how many resources it takes to build such a chariot? "
At this point, someone couldn't help but sigh at his own poverty. Originally, Lin thought that with his ability to make money, he should be able to live comfortably in the Lost Land without relying on magic. But the fact was that the ability to make money that he was so proud of was nothing in front of those big shots who really had a foundation.
It brought about such a strong feeling because not long after the cooperation plan for the chariot was finalized, the two big shots sent the magic materials used to make the chariot to the silver-bearded dwarf's workshop at home, according to the list provided by the silver-bearded dwarf. It could be seen that in order to make the chariot that they wanted to use, they put more effort into it than establishing a car manufacturing and research and development center. And those resources were later transferred to the center.
Among the things that were sent, there were many materials that even Jermaine was jealous of. He even wanted to embezzle the things and immediately run back to the silver-bearded dwarf's hometown, Iron City, to make a new peace weapon.
After all, the original materials that the silver-bearded dwarf empire used to gather the strength of the whole country to make the most powerful weapons — the peace weapon — were extremely rare goods that had been mined out. For this kind of material, it was basically impossible to count on the original ore. Most of the mages who needed to use it dismantled old equipment and refurbished the metal to use it.
When giving the list of materials, the silver-bearded dwarf Jermaine didn't care whether it was useful or not at all. He listed all the materials that could be used on the list, and even included some personal goods. Ruan Wenyue could send about 70 to 80 percent of the materials on the list, but the real big shot, Grand Duke Carvey, sent all the materials on the list, and even doubled the amount.
Lin didn't know if the two were still holding back, or if they took out all the treasures at the bottom of the box. Anyway, looking at the magic materials that were piled up like a small mountain, which could be exchanged for the value of several small countries, a certain someone's face turned green. Only the ignorant silver-bearded dwarf was happy like a child.
Lin didn't say much. It was just a simple calculation. Using the weight and volume of the model car to make a comparison, this pile of magic materials couldn't make ten or twenty chariots, but it wouldn't be a problem to make seven or eight of them. Then the people present would have to work for a long time to be able to use up all these materials.
After calculating the output of these materials, the silver-bearded dwarves' faces also turned green. Then, for the second time, they had the idea of embezzling the materials and running away in the night.
If it wasn't for the agreement that the first batch of big shots who supported the car manufacturing would each only make one car in the first year. Looking at the pile of materials, Lin didn't doubt that these old bosses would squeeze all the materials out of their employees before they could get off work.
In short, a certain someone realized for the first time that compared to those who were truly wealthy, he wasn't even worthy of being called a nouveau riche. Back in the southwest peninsula, he was remembered because he had saved one or two boxes of money, and that was because those people were too narrow-minded. In places like the Holy City of Estali and the Guevana Empire, his wealth was nothing in the eyes of those big shots.
Although he was emotional, Lin still said, "Maybe making such a car isn't as particular as making legendary equipment for heroes. Without certain specific materials, nothing can be made. A car needs so many materials, and if you can't find one, you can always find a substitute. But even so, to make such a car, a brigade of heroes might be equipped with it. So, this really isn't something that everyone can afford. "
At this time, the others had already pushed the overturned Car 0 back. Except for a slight dent in the front of the car, the structure of the whole car was not damaged, especially the frame of the cockpit, which was completely undamaged. It was impossible to tell that it had just turned over more than ten times. The whole car made of magic materials was so strong that it was unimaginable.
But the dummy magic puppet sitting inside was not so lucky. If it was a living person, even a medical layman like him would have judged it as a comminuted fracture and given up treatment.
The dummy magic puppet was no longer human, its limbs were twisted, and its head had fallen to the side. It could be seen that the rigidity of the car body was beyond expectations, but the protection for the passengers was shockingly low. And it seemed that this was not a problem that could be solved by fastening a seat belt. He had to think of something else. That was to say, it was not normal for the car to turn over more than ten times.
"Can it start?" Lin asked the mages who were repairing it. One of them sat in the driver's seat and pressed the start button. After a few sharp sounds of ignition, the engine rumbled to life. Hearing the sound of the engine as strong as ever, a certain someone was inexplicably moved.
But when he saw the other mages use magic in a flurry to restore the deformed parts to their original state. Azad then asked curiously, "Actually, I've always had a question. Since this thing can be changed with magic, why can't it be repaired automatically? Even a layman like me can think of this, can't you professionals do it? "
Hearing such a layman speak like an expert, under normal circumstances, the mages would have retorted even if they didn't do anything. But the team of duke's guards behind them, as well as the silent agreement of the old butler Ahanu, everyone knew who the speaker was. Everyone could only force themselves not to scold him, but it was very difficult to endure. And if no one responded, things could very well develop in a bad direction.
Lin, on the other hand, did not have such a psychological burden. Instead, he talked about the common theory of mages. "Shaping is like playing with mud for sorcerers. If no one is watching, no one will know what the final shape will be like. So whether it is the magic puppet of the past or these custom-made cars now, is it really … impossible to make them repair themselves automatically? "
