Chapter 111 Liema Project
"McVlon, today we are going to visit the first complete research result of the 85 Institute. It is a systematic engineering, code-named Liema in the institute, which will provide countless horses for your army." Arcado said with a smile.
"Acado, we always believe in you, but relying on magicians and blacksmiths can supplement the war horse, which only wizards can do." McVaron stared at Arcado and wanted to get the answer he wanted from Arcado's face.
"You will know later." Arcado looked out of the carriage window, and the dense jungle that kept moving backwards seemed to have no end.
Soon, the group came to the heavily guarded 85 Research Institute.
"Acardo, what is this?" Meadow, McVlon and others accompanied Arcado to the test site and saw the strange iron shelf with wheels in front of him. Meadow asked strangely, and McVlon also stared at the monster in front of him with a surprised face.
"This?" Arcado asked Meadow with a smile and looked at McVlon.
"Well, these wheels and metal shelves" Meadow asked curiously, and McVlon also turned to look at Arcado and waited for his answer.
It's called a car. I named it on a whim. Arcado said with a smile that he is extremely proud now. He has invented ships, cars and more things in the world.
"Car? Why is it called a car? Mei Duo's root problem.
"Because I invented it, just call it a car!" Arcado said stubbornly that if he was forced to explain, he could not explain the origin of the name of this thing.
"Car, car, is it a car?" McVaron thought for a moment and asked. He had an ominous hunch in his heart that maybe Arcado's statement was true. He wanted to replace the war horse with steel like a ship.
"Yes, it's a car without a horse." Arcado said proudly with a smile.
"Use a cow to pull?" Meiduo asked curiously,
"No, no, no, Meadow, it is a car powered by crystals, just like our ship." Accado smiled and thought Meadow's problem was really funny.
"Oh, my God, Acado, is it really so amazing?" Meadow still doesn't believe that the space on the ship is very large, which can accommodate a large number of magic arrays, but the car is obviously very small.
"You can ask Master Anthony, they are the designer and experimenter of this new car!" Arcado smiled and pointed to the great mage Anthony beside him.
"Mr. Anthony, did you design this?" Meadow came to the Grandmaster Anthony like her grandfather and hugged Anthony's arm coquettishly.
"No, miss, it's Mr. Akado's idea. We just use various magic arrays to realize his idea. This is really a great invention. Relying on crystal power, you can make the car walk by itself, just like our Romai's ship, without relying on the wind." Anthony said proudly that their research institute finally completed a project, which gave a satisfactory explanation for the millions of gold coins he spent.
"Okay, Anthony, it's time to start. I want to see how our car works." Arcado and McVaron seemed a little impatient.
"First of all, I have the honor to introduce our chief test driver, the beautiful Miss Tessa." Anthony introduced.
When Tessa appeared in front of Arcado with a loving face, Meadow also stared at her lover with a bad smile. The embarrassed Arcado couldn't wait to leave this place immediately, but the most important moment in front of him was not allowed to escape.
"I, I think it can start, Miss Tessa, you can board this car and become the first human to rely on crystal power to fly on land." Arcado moved back and wanted to lean against McVlon, but was pulled by Meadow.
"I think it's not too much to be encouraged by the leader of Rome Island to engage in such a dangerous job as the chief driver?" Tessa laughed and looked at Arcado in front of her.
"Well, Sister Tessa, Sister Meadow supports you!" Meadow and Tessa, with a bad smile, have known each other for a long time, and they don't seem to be disgusted with Tessa's liking Arcado. After saying that, Meadow helped Tessa stop Akado and fixed Arcado's head with the other hand.
With the help of Meadow, Tessa barely kissed Arcado's face, who dodged left and right, and then quickly ran into the car and started the car.
McVlon, the military boss standing next to Meadow, saw Meadow helping and didn't say much. He has now figured out that his sister can experience the so-called happiness. As a brother, he can no longer care about so many things.
The car is controlled by a small equal output magic array. Arcado provides many styles of car parts in the previous life to help you design together, such as the car's steel plate spring and the steering wheel system that changes direction, but the whole car is still a metal toy made of an iron frame, not even a little Unlike today's cars, it is similar to the simple appearance of cars when they were first invented.
However, this car has advantages unmatched in the previous life. The power system is very compact and narrow, and the power is sufficient, and the fuel can be replaced at any time in the car, which makes the whole car show extraordinary room for improvement, and problems such as load are also completely solved by the excellent power system. One pity is that the whole car has no shell, which is so simple and deadly.
With the sound of metal collision friction, the world's first car moved slowly, and then Tessa drove the car around the field to perform various technical actions, such as steering, reversing, acceleration and deceleration, etc. The transmission system is the same as the transmission system on the ship, which is realized through the combination of gear changes. There are only a dozen fixed speeds to choose from.
The car shows unparalleled speed and mobility. On the deliberately reserved end of the potholed road, the car with a good shock absorption system is much faster than the carriage. The speed of the car on the flat road is obviously unmatched by the carriage, and it is also far ahead in terms of load and driver training difficulty. The only drawback is the cost. In any case, the price of steel is higher than that of wooden carriages. However, for the rich Rome Island, this does not seem to be a problem at all.
In 36180, the Holy Empire, on November 21, 1574, Rome Island, which was about to celebrate the New Year, made the world's first car.
"McVlon, do you know why I only take you here to visit today?" Acado did not participate in the celebration of the 85 Institute and walked alone on the test site with McVlon, he asked softly.
"Is this Rome's secret weapon?" McVaron replied.
"Yes, this thing needs to be kept secret for the time being. We need to train a car force. Think about it, what kind of concept is it that McVlon and infantry can drive into the battle area at the speed of cavalry and unexpectedly attack unprepared enemies!?"
"If you have enough cars, you can even let the whole army move at the speed of cavalry, and they have almost no fatigue except for car drivers. The most terrible thing is that you have saved the food consumed by the army along the way, Arcado, if such an army is formed according to your plan, the world The state of the boundary war will be changed, and the infantry will be more suitable for long-range attack than the cavalry. McVlon's passage vividly talks about the advantages of motorized infantry in later generations.
"Ha ha, although I have completely said the advantages of the car infantry, McVlon, you have never thought more long-term!" Arcado laughed loudly and continued, "Think again, what if I protect the car of this car force with steel plates? What about the welded spear on the steel plate and rushing to the enemy's position?
"You are a devil, Arcado. Cars were not developed for transportation from the beginning!" McVlon suddenly looked at Arcado and said.
"It can transport people and materials, and it will completely surpass the existence of cavalry in the future." Arcado looked at the sky and said, "I just want to change the devil in this rotten world. How about it? McVlon, I can give you a choice. If you leave me, I will give you a lot of gold coins, and I will also be kind to your sister.
