The deal with Azad hasn't been fulfilled for the time being. It's not that the terms can't be reached, but purely because a certain someone doesn't have the ability to fulfill his promise. – Ah, no materials, what to do. – So Azad put the matter aside for the time being.
In the Automobile Manufacturing and Research and Development Center, the mass-produced cars and trucks made of ordinary materials didn't need to be mentioned. The two models that have been sold to the public, although not to the extent of hot sales, but at least they haven't been overstocked for too long. On the one hand, the production capacity of the center hasn't exploded yet; on the other hand, the market's acceptance is still in the stage of probing. Both sides are fumbling.
The recent focus is of course the second stage of production – enchantment of the No. 1 car.
The offensive spell chosen is' Barbaric Charge '. The method of use is also very simple: start the car, hold the steering wheel firmly, step on the gas pedal, crash to death, reverse the car, and do it again!
As for the proposal of launching fireballs and icicles, after seeing the destructive power of the Barbaric Collision, everyone automatically ignored it. The test mound is compacted by the city wall of the Empire's capital, and then a hole was smashed open … This weapon is more powerful than a battering ram, yet it still wants to launch fireballs? It's like setting off fireworks.
According to a certain chief engineer, if it works, then one move is enough; if it doesn't, then a hundred moves will be in vain.
The addition of the 1st-circle Apprentice rank spell – Lightness is used to reduce the weight of the car. The pursuit of lightness and strength is the eternal pursuit of the Earth's automobile industry. In the Land of Enchantment, a spell can do it. The car can be as light as you want it to be, and it can even float.
So someone proposed to change the enchantment to the 2nd-circle Apprentice rank spell – Float, and add propellers to the front and back of the car …
Hey, are you making cars or airplanes? So this proposal was rejected again.
But the method of using Lightness is a bit of an internal debate. The focus is on how light the car should be, and whether the spell should be constant. That is, when the car starts, Lightness is activated; when the car stops, Lightness is canceled.
The focus of the former is that if the car is too light, it will reduce the grip of the tires. Because the car doesn't have enough weight, the tires can be in close contact with the ground, which will further reduce the stability of the car.
The latter, of course, is related to the energy consumed, or the amount of fuel, after the car starts. After all, the engine consumes energy, and activating the magic array consumes energy. In the end, this problem was still solved by mathematics. Because the weight of the car was lighter, it also helped to reduce the power consumption of the engine. Therefore, a curve of the car's weight and power consumption was created, and the best configuration was chosen.
It also had a 1st-circle Apprentice spell – Leap. This spell was used to break through difficult terrain. Furthermore, through programmable authority and force, it was very easy to choose the landing point of the jump. After testing, it was found that in windless weather, combined with the Lightening Technique to reduce the weight of the vehicle, it could travel a distance of one kilometer and a maximum of 150 meters. In fact, this was no different from flying.
Additional magic – Magic Shield Defense. This magic was to increase the defensive power of the car by a level. It was not a permanent permanent spell, but a conditional trigger, which would prevent the waste of Authority.
Additional 2nd Ring Apprentice spell – Transparency. The previous failed experience of playing optical camouflage on the Black Tortoise Robe made a certain someone directly returned to the illusion magic that he still didn't quite understand – transparency. When the vehicle was stationary, it was very convenient to use this spell to hide. Its weakness was that it would be broken the moment it moved, so it could only remain still.
Additional 1st-ring Apprentice spell – Shape Casting. In fact, this was the result of previous research, which could be used to create small parts. Lin used it on a physical vehicle for the first time, and then solidified the specifications and dimensions of each part to achieve the effect of "self-repair."
However, this also made the modification work more difficult when it was necessary in the future. Because the solidified shape design had to be adjusted simultaneously, otherwise, as soon as the vehicle started, Authority would be connected to the shape magic array and the vehicle would return to its original state, and all the previous efforts would be wasted.
And this was only the part of the vehicle that was exposed to the outside. Considering the comfort, driving, and safety of the passengers, of course, the interior of the cabin was also enchanted to protect the passengers.
First of all, Car No. 1 was different from other custom-made vehicles. The windshields of other custom-made cars were all replaced with a very special kind of magic crystal. Although it was unknown how strong it was compared to bulletproof glass, in the previous test, no matter how the vehicle rolled, the windshield was still firm, without even a spiderweb crack, which showed its strength.
However, Car No. 1 was a fully enclosed design, and the windshield and the windows were all covered with special steel plates. The interior was a panoramic projection system in the helmet of the silver bearded dwarves, which allowed the people inside to easily see the scenery outside, while the people outside could not see the situation inside.
Because the driving cabin was enclosed, the design and magic for ventilation and air purification were indispensable.
In order to ensure the safety of the passengers in the event of a violent collision, Lin chose a very unpopular spell – Soften. This spell was a 1st-ring Apprentice spell, an extension of Shape Casting. It could temporarily turn any hard object into a soft and harmless one.
However, because the object would forcibly return to its original shape, in the process of returning to its original state, it would produce a powerful force that would "bounce" the person. Therefore, the original use of this spell was actually a kind of magic trap, but it was not very popular.
Because this huge force that could bounce the person away could be resisted with brute force. Although the object would eventually return to its original state, as long as the person had enough strength, they could control the direction and speed of the bounce to reduce the possible damage.
Such a spell used in the interior of the vehicle was simply better than an airbag. The airbags on Earth were not suitable for children, infants, and so on. Poor design would also bring unnecessary risks. However, when Soften was used in the interior of the customized car, the driver and the passengers would at most be bounced in all directions. They might feel dizzy, but it was still better than hitting the hard body of the car or the steering wheel.
In the eyes of other magic casters, it was impossible to inscribe so many different types of magic onto a single car. Because the more magic arrays of different natures there were, the more difficult it was to connect them together. However, it did not mean that Lin could not do it. With the renovation of the Tower of the Great Sage as his priority, no one dared to underestimate his foundation in magic arrays.
Also, many magic arrays could not be solved by just drawing one. For example, the magic shield had to be carved on the front, back, left, and right of the car, including the top and bottom. The Shape Casting Spell, which was used to repair the car, was specially arranged according to the shape of the car to ensure that the magic effect could affect every part of the car.
For such a complicated project, Lin handed over the design in just a few days and let the Mages and Engineers in the center — a new term to refer to people who had good skills in machine building — carry out the implementation. In addition to the design, Lin also spent a few days explaining the reason for such a design to others.
This was the content of the knowledge that was originally agreed to be imparted, so Lin did not hide it. If he wanted to throw the troublesome task of making customized cars to others, he had to train other people who could do it. This was a very normal thing.
The trick to integrating so many magic arrays was the decorative patterns that others thought were useless. Those were like passive components in a circuit board, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, and so on. They were connected to the ICs with different functions — namely, the magic arrays — and integrated them into a whole. This allowed the power to communicate with different magic arrays and act according to the design requirements.
These small magic arrays, such as capacitors, resistors, and inductors, were, of course, not placed anywhere. In the middle, detailed mathematical calculations were needed to make all the magic arrays coordinate and perform 100% of their functions. And these calculations, even those Mages and Engineers were intoxicated and wanted to die.
To this, a certain someone's response was only: "Haha." Want to play with wafer manufacturing? That was something that he didn't even dare to think about. Not only did the profession not match, but the threshold was also high.
But this time, even if everyone's heads were smoking from the calculations, no one wanted to keep a certain someone in the center and ask for an explanation. Instead, they hoped that this person would leave as soon as possible and take away His Highness, the prince who had lost interest in racing cars.
Because there was no honor of being the champion, and there was no pressure from sponsors waving large amounts of money to get the best driver to drive the best car and get good results with their sponsorship advertisements, the fun of racing cars for Azad and William Greco was quickly worn out. They hadn't reported for a while. Everyone was celebrating!
But after Car No. 1 entered the second stage of the work, when the results were verified, not only did Lin appear, but he also brought His Highness, whom everyone was afraid of, with him. Everyone was still angry but didn't dare to say anything, staying far away from that fiend who was in a good or bad mood.
"So, you specially called me here to bury me in the center of this place? I'll help you dig a hole for free. But you'll have to ask someone else to fill in the soil. At most, I'll send you in. "
"Of course, it's not for such a small matter. It's for a big matter that I have to rely on Your Highness' strengths. "Lin brought him to the center, to the familiar experimental site.
Car No. 1, which was custom-made by Grand Duke Carvey and intended for his granddaughter, was parked quietly in an open space. The shape of this car was very different from the classic style of the other custom-made cars. Because it was for a woman to drive, Lin used the classic Porsche 911 shape and then made some changes.
The body, which had the pedigree of a sports car, was relatively petite, but the streamlined curve gave the elegance of a noble, rather than the toughness of the sci-fi style of the Lamborghini.
However, in a maze with an underdeveloped road system, playing with a low chassis and low center of gravity was asking for trouble. Therefore, the height of the chassis and the design of the shock absorber of Car No. 1 were much higher, so much so that this Porsche was a bit out of place in someone's eyes. The body of a sports car, the chassis of an off-road vehicle. But the natives of the maze didn't know, so they still appreciated the shape of the car.
Even so, none of the other big shots made a request to change their custom-made car to look like Car No. 1. Because someone painted the car body a bright pink, almost blinding the eyes of all the men. Not many men had the courage to sit in this car that seemed to be emitting pink bubbles, even Azad.
