Chapter 57: Risking Your Life

After rejecting several lobbyists sent by the Brotherhood, Evan was finally able to study his seatbelt quietly.

Jack Warner, a Freemason, returned to Los Angeles after not seeing Evin himself on his second visit. He is a descendant of the founder of Warner Bros. Studios, and he is very popular in Hollywood, but he does not have the patience and time to wait for Evan's reply.

What's more, Evan is about to go to school in Los Angeles, and it's not too late to get in touch with him.

A week later, on July 22, Evan finally made the first version of the harness and fitted it to the test seat.

How to test the actual performance of the seat belt has become a problem, and now is not the era when there are various sensors, and you can use dolls to simulate the test.

The test set, Evan had already been prepared, and it was an acceleration track driven by an electric motor, which was placed in the open space behind the laboratory building. Although this land does not belong to the laboratory, it is a wasteland anyway, and he does not occupy it permanently, so he uses it first.

This track can increase the speed of the test seat (which was removed from a scrap truck) and crash into the steel plate that is firmly held in front of it. The speed can be adjusted from 30 km/h to 100 km/h.

Evan thought about experimenting with animals, but he quickly rejected it, the most suitable animal was monkeys, but where could he find monkeys? The zoo couldn't allow him to experiment with monkeys.

Just when Evan was thinking about trying it out with a dummy first, Rogers, an intern and senior, offered to say, "Evan, let me sit on it and try it!"

"Anyway, neither dummy nor animal experiments can get accurate conclusions. Why don't you let me experience it for myself?"

"No!" Evan didn't think about it, and directly refused: "Rogers, this is very dangerous, if you are not careful, you will break your ribs at least and kill you at worst, so don't even think about it." ”

Evan is not a mad scientist, and he will never be able to do such a dangerous experiment.

In the end, Evan still didn't make Rogers' crazy idea a reality. In the first experiment, Evan only hastily tested it with a dummy, and even the speed of the flying car was only tested at fifty kilometers per hour before ending the experiment.

The results of the experiment were not bad, the seat belt successfully worked, and the dummy was firmly attached to the seat at the time of the collision and did not fly out once.

This result alone already made Evan happy, knowing that if there were no seat belts, as long as the car reached a speed of 40 kilometers, the person would definitely be on the front of the car when it collided.

By the time the experiment was finished, it was almost dark, so Evan temporarily suspended the experiment and planned to resume it tomorrow.

The next day, Evan, who had thought all night and still couldn't think of a better way to test it, yawned and went to the lab. He decided to start the experiment at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and not to do the high-speed part later. Wait until he finds the right "experimental animal" and experimental protocol.

Before nine o'clock in the morning, the Super De Luxe sedan slowly parked on the side of the road in front of the laboratory building. Before he got out of the car, Evan chuckled in his heart, feeling bad.

Why is there an extra car?

He and Carl were the only ones who would drive to the lab, and everyone else was in a taxi. Evan reimbursed the fare, and the lab assistants and even Chester took a taxi if they could.

It is a fool not to enjoy the benefits.

Sure enough, just a few steps after getting out of the car, Evan's hunch came true.

Evan saw Will and another assistant hurrying out of the side of the building carrying a man on an improvised stretcher.

"Will, what's going on?" Evan asked in a loud voice as he ran over quickly, "Who's lying there?"

Seeing Evan, Will subconsciously stopped, but was squeezed by the assistant behind him and staggered forward a few steps, so he narrowly missed the person on the stretcher. After steady, Will looked at Evan. By this time, Evan had already come to him.

Evan looked at the figure on the stretcher, was really taken aback, and exclaimed, "Rogers, you ......"

I saw that Rogers' face was as pale as snow at this moment, all the clothes on his body were untied, he was short of breath, and he coughed from time to time, and Evan had sharp eyes, and he clearly saw blood flowing out of the corners of his mouth after coughing.

Seeing Rogers' appearance, Evan seemed to think about something, and his face changed greatly.

"Evan ......" Rogers was still conscious, and as soon as he saw Evan, he struggled to get up. Seeing this, Evan hurriedly stepped forward and scolded, "Don't move!"

Then, Evan looked at Will and asked, "Is Carl here?"

Will shook his head.

Evan glanced at Rogers on the stretcher, sighed, and said to Will, "Carry someone to my car, and we'll go to the hospital." ”

After the men carefully put Rogers in the back seat of the car, Evan instructed another assistant: "You stay, and when Carl comes, let him bring the money to the hospital." ”

Thankfully, there was a mercy general hospital less than a kilometer away, and in less than ten minutes, Rogers was admitted to the treatment room. The diagnosis came back with two broken ribs and a lung contusion. Fortunately, it's not serious.

When asked by the doctor how Rogers was injured, Rogers hesitated and replied that he had been injured by hitting the wall.

There is no good way to treat rib fractures, only analgesia and immobilization of the chest. After confirming that the lung contusion was not serious, the doctor prescribed him analgesics.

By the time Carl arrived at the hospital, Rogers had already drugged and was asleep. Evan was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, talking to Will and asking him what Rogers had done.

Although Evan had already guessed it, he still listened to the truth. Will arrived at the lab earlier and should have seen some of the on-site situation.

Will told Evan what he knew: "I arrived at normal time today, and when I was just arriving at the lab and was about to make myself a cup of coffee, I suddenly heard a loud noise...... I walked to the back of the building and found Rogers sitting in the lab chair. He had fainted. Then I immediately went to the rescue, and then someone arrived...... Until you meet ......"

After listening to Will's description, Evan was silent for a long time.

Alas...... Rogers, what are you doing!?

An hour later, Evan returned to the lab and worked with Will and other assistants to sort out the data Rogers had measured.

Carl was left behind by Evan to take care of Rogers.

The next day, Evan visited Rogers in the hospital and talked to him for a while, asking if he wanted to inform his family. Rogers said no.

Before leaving, Evan said to him, "You can take care of your injuries, you don't have to worry about money." ”

"Also, I'll go to that elk party at the end of the month. ”
