In the end, a certain someone began to question himself. Just because the mages of the past couldn't do it didn't mean that the mages of the present couldn't do it. There was no programming language in the past. If one used programming language to preset the desired result and then used shaping, would it be possible to achieve this so-called "self-repair" effect, or even … transform?
However, Lin didn't think too much about it. He smiled and said, "It seems that this idea isn't without future prospects. But it's a new topic, so there's no rush to study it. Gentlemen, are you interested in trying it out? " The targets of the invitation were, of course, Azad and William Greco, the two enthusiastic and somewhat restless friends.
In addition to the three obstacles that had just been set up on the experimental field, there was a larger area of temporary racetrack surrounded by triangular cones, and the ground was especially flat. It couldn't be helped. There were too many unclaimed lands in the Lost Land. If there was a need, they could enclose a piece of land in the wild and set fire to the forest to drive away the magical beasts and wild beasts.
Although a certain transmigrator from an era when environmental awareness rose was somewhat resistant to things like setting fire to the forest. But it was undeniable that this was the best choice for exploring the Lost Land. Otherwise, a large number of people would have to be recruited to take back the land inch by inch from the hands of the magical beasts, and then cut down the trees and prepare the ground. In this world without heavy machinery, it would probably take a year and a half to clear such a large piece of land.
So, it was better to burn it. It was also by doing this that the racetrack with a length of 6.7 kilometers could be set up in a short period of time. And because it was temporarily surrounded by triangular cones, the racetrack plan could be changed at will.
Although most people couldn't figure out what Lin's intention was in planning such a large racetrack. But it was undeniable that there was an inexplicable pleasure in driving on it. As long as a car needed to be tested on the racetrack, this was the most popular activity in the center.
It was just that Azad looked at the car that had rolled in front of him and said with a strange look, "Let's take this one ~."
It wasn't known if the look in his eyes was because the car had rolled over or because he felt that it was boring to take turns driving. Lin smiled and said, "The two of you can get into the passenger and backseat of this car first. I'll teach you how to operate it. After a lap, there will be two other cars for you to try." At the same time, he turned to the others and said, "Cars No. 2 and No. 3 have been assembled. Pull them over and test them directly on the road."
Because of the silver-bearded dwarf's selfishness, every custom-made car was different. Of course, before they were assembled, they would run it on the testing machine to their heart's content, so they didn't have to worry about the run-in period.
In addition, Car 0 had flipped so many times just now, but it was not badly damaged overall. Lin was very relieved to hand the car over to two laymen. Anyway, even if they had a serious accident, they had the ability to protect themselves. Repairing the car was not a problem. By the way, the windshield of Car 0 is made of a special transparent crystal. It is also a grinding material, so it is not as fragile as glass.
Azad and William Greco had no objections to Lin's suggestion. It was indeed difficult for them to drive a car without knowing how to control it. Neither of them were crazy enough to think that they would know how to use whatever they touched. Of course, he was more than happy to have someone teach him.
The others didn't dare to have any objections. Perhaps the name of the White Grand Swordsman, William Greco, had not yet reached their ears, but no one had the courage to refute the Demon Prince. Even the old butler, Ehanu, the agent of Duke Carvey, who had to take care of everything, was like a grandson at this time. He could only nod his head at everything and didn't dare to shake his head.
While waiting for Cars 2 and 3 to be brought over, Lin first let the two of them get on Car 0 and personally explained the various parts. The interior layout of these custom-made cars was basically the same. Only the distance would be slightly different according to the body size of the user. However, such a small difference was not a big problem for top-level fighters who could precisely control their own bodies.
After a simple operation explanation, Lin drove the two of them around and explained some skills to control the car. This included paying attention to the upper limit of the engine speed, slowing down before entering a corner, taking the outer and inner routes, and accelerating over half the speed. How much speed should be controlled. The car was in the most powerful and best controlled state. The way to handle continuous bends and hairpin turns. Of course, there were also explanations on the use of tires, grip, and other problems.
Perhaps he was not a professional racer before he transmigrated, but he had been fascinated by Formula 1 for a period of time and had some knowledge about racing cars. Although it wasn't necessarily very good in practice, it was enough to scare people into a daze.
As the Demon Prince, who would complain whether he knew it or not, of course, he had to express his opinion about the left and right turns. "The land is obviously so big, why do you have to be restricted by those so-called strange things? Are those pointy hat-like things stronger than the logs and low walls that were smashed before? "
A certain someone did not have the ability of Takumi Fujiwara's father to swing his tail around corners while putting his hands down to light a cigarette and chat. After being interrupted by Azzard, the car that had turned its head lost control again. But this time, it did not roll over. It only swung its tail and sent a row of triangular cones flying.
Lin, who stopped the car, looked at Azzard's serious expression and swallowed back the words he wanted to say. Instead, after thinking about it seriously, he said, "If there are no restrictions on running around, at best, you are just playing with the car. At most, you will know how fast the car can accelerate in a straight line and how fast the car can reach. But a car's performance indicator is not limited to these two. With a fixed restricted route, more things can be tested, including steering ability, braking distance, and so on. And these depend on the driver's degree of control of the car. Simply put, with a fixed route, it is easy to distinguish between the car and the driver's skills. If it is the same car and the same driver, then it depends on whether the limit of the car has been reached, and whether the driving skills have improved. "
He did not like to fight, but it did not mean that he did not care about winning or losing, especially between himself and himself. At this time, William Greco asked, "Then how do you distinguish the situation you are talking about? How do you know if you have improved, or if you have reached the limit of the car? "
Lin said, "It's very simple, time it. Previously, when I drove Car 0, it would take me about eight to nine minutes to run on the current track. If I ran smoothly, it would take me about eight to nine minutes. If I run for six minutes on a lap, does it mean that I am running faster than before? Do you agree? "At the same time, Lin controlled the car back to the track and continued to move forward.
Before William could express his opinion, Azad interrupted and said, "To determine the winner under limited conditions, you can only find the most suitable winner for these conditions, and not the real strong. Is there any meaning to such boring and stupid behavior? "
He was indeed a professional roast, and he hit the nail on the head. It must be said that in the social atmosphere of the mysterious land, things related to winning and losing usually determined life and death. There were very few activities with the nature of a competition to determine the winner. Even if there were, it was between nobles, with some performance nature, gambling, or bloody arena activities.
And between men, when it came to the real victory and defeat, it must be decided on the battlefield. The loser died, and the winner lived. They would do anything to win.
Therefore, for this world, which was not like Earth, where there were all kinds of sports and competitions, Lin did not know how to answer this old man's question. "Well, maybe … In fact, these cars were built just to replace the role of horses and carriages, so that they could travel longer distances or carry heavier goods in a shorter time. It really doesn't matter whether they are strong or not. The design of such a track is also to simulate the situations that might be encountered on a real road. "
Returning to the starting point of the experimental field, Lin stopped and turned his head to ask, "Then, are you two still going to test the car?"
"Test! Why not? " Azad was the first to jump out of the car and came to Car No. 2 and Car No. 3, which were sent over by other mages, to examine them. Although William Greco was a step behind, he was not in a hurry.
Car No. 2, which was reserved by Ruan Wenyue of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, and car No. 3, which was reserved by Grand Duke Carvey, were mainly in the style of luxury cars in the early twentieth century on Earth. The characteristic was that the front of the car was especially long, which was to accommodate a large capacity engine. The rear of the car was shorter, and the storage space at the rear of the car was also much smaller.
Of course, the cabin was enclosed. Compared to showing off their faces, they were more concerned about whether they would be blown up like Kennedy. The body of the car was steady and thick, with many round curved steel plates covering the body. It had the kind of momentum that said, "Even if I can't blind your dog eyes, I can still kill you, you dog."
When the design of the engine room was planned, there was actually no need for such a long front. Even if the engine capacity of these two cars was far larger than the heaviest truck built at this stage, the horsepower was so strong that connecting several carriages could directly be used as a locomotive and run at the level of a steam train.
But the extra space in the front of these two cars was used to carry a very important experimental device, a semi-permanent rechargeable solid energy pool codenamed "battery." It was also the most important part of the energy center of the Armed Forces of Peace.
They did not use the original manufacturing method to build an energy center, not because the manufacturing method was lost, but because the silver-bearded dwarves wanted to build a new energy center that integrated the engine and energy storage as one. They hoped that the output of the final product could be at least twice as strong as the old one.
As for the engine part, after so many experiments, they already had a clue. But the energy storage part was limited by the material and had not made much progress. Taking advantage of the fact that someone had taken the initiative to provide the materials this time, they finally got the best material to use to make the battery and actually made it.
During the discussion and research with Lin, they chose to refer to the semi-permanent energy pools that were installed in most airships. The biggest difference between them and the energy pools in Magic Towers was that they could not generate energy on their own and could only be stored.
However, the size of the car was not as large as that of an airship. Of course, it was impossible to use the complete design of an airship's energy pool. Instead, it had to be miniaturized and, more importantly, stabilized, which was also the most important part of the original design. Without the stabilizing design, this thing was no different from a large yield bomb.
In the end, the maze version of the battery that was built was a big guy that took up almost half of the space in the front of the car. It could be said that in terms of performance, it was not inferior to the energy center used by the Armed Forces of Peace. Apart from the shortcoming that it was not inferior to the size of the Armed Forces of Peace, this was already the most satisfactory result that the silver-bearded dwarves had recently.
