Demon Lord
Vol 8 Chapter 615: Prototype car
The effect of "toughening" makes the soil instantly like solidified cement. According to previous tests of the wizards, this road surface can maintain its hardness for five months after the cast. When the deadline is approaching, you only need to send Arcane Shu to release "Firmness" again along the way.
Luther was just as curious as the crowd around him. He ran to the newly compacted road and felt it. It was found that the solidified land was similar to the stone. Rubbing it hard with his feet could not lift the dust. He looked at the front, but looked To that tall arcane urn has gone out four or five hundred meters away.
"According to this progress, it won't be long before we can pave the way to other cities ..."
The meaning of flat, wide and hard roads for transportation is self-evident. In this era, carriages are basically used for long-distance transportation, and bumpy roads not only delay the transportation speed, but also exacerbate the loss of carriages and horses. If this road is to be reached in Hollier City, it would take only three days to reach it.
When transportation costs decrease and transportation speeds increase, the "distance" is shortening for the people of a country. This also means that the economy and culture will usher in explosive growth.
Luther was short-sighted and didn't realize that "traffic" had changed the world. After taking a few steps on the brand-new dirt road, he suddenly noticed that there was a hot construction site not far from the city gate. The roadbed protruding more than 300 meters above the ground was obviously a masterpiece of arcane art, but the top was not smooth. It was covered with gravel.
About half a meter above and above the rubble, parallel wood was placed. Luther found that all the wood had been uniformly treated, and the width, thickness and spacing were exactly the same.
Above these sleepers, two "track" Luther made from the entire log were cut immediately to the transport ship traveling back and forth in the city, and realized that this was the Elson "train that had begun construction "line.
Although Everta is the kingdom's largest iron ore producer, the current output is not enough for Roddy to lay steel rails. However, this place is different from the other world in the end. "Magic" solves many original problems ... Wood does not need to be air-dried and treated. It can also be similar to the durability of steel through "curing". The only disadvantage is that it requires regular re-arc Just cast the spell once.
The area of the virgin forest of Everta is too large to cut down the trees. The wooden rail combined with the maintenance cost is actually much lower than the steel rail.
Luther saw several platforms under construction at the starting point of the tracks, which were connected to the transport ship track leading to the city. However, this new track is not the same as the track of the urban transport ship, and the experimental train cars placed on it are boxy, which has nothing in common with the "ship".
"Master Lord's thoughts are always weird ..."
Luther looked into the distance. In the place covered by the forest more than ten kilometers away, the orc laborers are constructing a brand new town. It is said that the architectural planning of the entire town is based on the drawings of the Lord Rhodes. It is the future. Elson Territory's largest transportation hub area and compatible with residential areas.
These were all heard in public bulletins and classrooms in the city, and were also mentioned in the recently released "Carron Times". All of this sighed Luther, who had been closed in the mountains for decades ... He looked back at the Pashaur Tower in the center of the city and had to lament his original choice.
Roddy, who was visiting Pacharr's Magic Tower, was now gravely walking through the laboratories of the various research groups of the "Elson Institute of Magic" to check the progress of his assigned tasks.
Although collectively referred to as the "Magic Research Institute", it actually involves research in all aspects of chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology. There are too many "magic" invented in this world. Although many can't kill the enemy on the battlefield, they have various magical effects in Roddy's eyes.
The two important inventions of "papermaking" and "movable type printing" were completely completed with little effort in the hands of the mage, because many complicated craftsmanship was just a matter of wave for the mage who controlled the elements. Roddy just came out of the "Canning" project group, holding a glass jar that had been sterilized in the hand, nodded with satisfaction with a fork, and then stepped into the one currently occupying the most. Laboratory and Workshop "Magic Vehicle Research" teams.
"Master, we have made a prototype car according to your requirements, but there are still some problems to be solved in many places ..."
"Oh? Tell me."
While answering, Rodi stepped towards the "prototype car" in the mouth of the researcher, which is actually a three-wheeled spar energy car composed of a bare wooden frame.
This thing is naturally the transportation model that Rody made based on "car". With the "charged spar", Roddy skipped the stage of using fossil energy directly, and developed the vehicle directly based on the "spar battery".
The closed micro-matrix became an "engine" after inserting a "charged spar". Its volume is not large, and its weight of more than 30 kilograms is absolutely light compared with those hundreds of kilograms of iron cymbals engines. When the array is started, the energy will cause the driving gear to rotate and transmit power to the rear wheels.
It stands to reason that there is a gearbox structure in the middle of the engine transmitting power to the rear wheels, but at present Elson does not have engineers capable of making complex gears such as gearboxes, so Roddy can only use an "energy limit lever" To control the output power of the energy of the array, thereby controlling the speed of the gear rotation, to achieve the purpose of controlling the speed of the vehicle.
The reason why the three-wheel structure is used is because the current technology cannot make steering gears to ensure the differential speed when the two front wheels are turned. Therefore, Roddy's plan is actually more like creating a "tricycle" ~ www.readwn.com ~ The steering is directly relying on the handles that connect the front wheels, and it is purely completed by manpower.
The prototype car in front does not yet have an outer shell, and the structure of the body is made of wood that has been strengthened with "firmness", which is also because it is more convenient to modify the wood.
This car currently has only one driver's seat located in the center, and the prototype is made with cushions and armrests according to Roddy's requirements. The "throttle" for speed control is the "energy limiter" located on the right hand side. Pulling backwards increases output, pushing forwards decreases, similar to an airplane.
The brakes are installed on the soles of the feet. The left foot is the front wheel brake and the right foot is the rear wheel brake. The disc brakes with simple structure are used.
There was no rubber in this era, but the magicians have found the pig skin of "Lunda wild boar" to replace the wild boar. The compression and spell shaping finally became a solid tire with a wall thickness of ten centimeters. Although the wheel itself is made of wood, it is better suited to bumpy road conditions than the pure wooden wagon of a normal carriage.
"Master, Lord, the problem now is what you said is" hanging ", because the springs are so different and easy to break, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect."
