"I don't want to argue with you about driving safety, let's let the facts prove it."

Leonid smiled confidently, jumped into the cab, waved his father to retreat, skillfully started the car, started the small magic steam engine, and with a roar of boilers, the engine placed in front of the car spewed out clouds of white steam through the grid-like protective net, and rushed forward!

Roland was slightly surprised, and hurriedly chased him out. Matvey and Natalia followed. At this time, Leonid had already driven into the square outside the gate of the institute, and made two clockwise circles on the concrete floor, and stepped on the brakes, the magic steam engine made a dull roar, and the wheels braked almost immediately, and the "star-iron compound tires" made a screeching sound when they rubbed against the cement floor, dragging out two gray rut marks, and after just two seconds, the huge magic car came to a complete standstill. Leonid's performance was not over yet, skillfully reversing on the spot, going around counterclockwise twice before stopping.

Roland couldn't help but whistle again, and had to sigh at the wonder of the world of Vares. On Earth, countless engineers spent their lives on difficult problems that could not be solved, but Leonid, a genius warlock, successfully solved them! This truck, powered by a steam engine, is a veritable "car", with braking times no less than those of cars with internal combustion engines on Earth, and is fully practical!

"Leonid, well done!" Roland clapped and walked to the magic car, asking curiously: "How did you solve the braking problem?" ”

"Aha~ That's a long story," Leonid opened the door and jumped out of the cab, "I spent two years to solve this little trouble, and I also specially invented a new trick, and now it seems that all the effort is worth it." ”

Roland turned to look at Matvey and gave the old man a look: "Mr. Matvey, what do you think of Leonid's masterpiece, isn't it worthy of your appreciation?" ”

Old man Matvey's face turned red, and he snorted stubbornly: "It's just a test on flat ground, it doesn't mean anything...... You know, it's not everywhere that you get such a flat concrete floor, and I don't believe this car performs so well if you're driving in the desert, snow or swamp. ”

"I knew you were going to find fault with that." Leonid smiled unexpectedly, "In fact, I have long considered the road conditions, and the structure of the Magic Car is borrowed from a product launched by our research institute before...... His Royal Highness Roland should still have an impression of the 'Steel Cavalry', right? ”

"Of course I'm impressed, it's an improved version of the Yanbo mecha, the world's finest land combat mechanical armor in Vares today, and my friend Bloom is full of praise for the actual combat performance of the 'Steel Cavalry'." Roland replied truthfully.

"The 'Steel Cavalry' is equipped with a constant 'levitation' device, which activates when encountering bad road conditions, and the body can temporarily levitate off the ground, while activating the auxiliary engine on the back to spray steam backwards at high speed, so as to gain forward momentum." Leonid explained a little about the structure of the "Steel Cavalry", and immediately returned to the topic, "The magic car we developed also has a similar device, if the road conditions are too bad, such as the tires are stuck in the mud and cannot move forward, as long as the levitation device is activated to offset the weight of the body, you can get out of the mud and regain your freedom, and then turn on the tail jet engine and immediately continue to move forward." ”

After a slight pause, Leonid decided to confess: "Of course, I must admit that the above device is not perfect, floating coasting requires more magic crystal energy, reversing operation becomes very inconvenient, and the braking efficiency of the car in the floating state will become very bad, so we recommend that only when there is no way to go, temporarily activate the floating device, and then return to the normal driving mode after passing the difficulty, so as to save energy to the greatest extent." ”

"You're very thoughtful." Roland nodded with a smile.

After listening to Leonid's introduction, his evaluation of this "Far Eastern Type 1624" magic car was raised to a higher level. Even the world before he traveled through, although the scientific and technological civilization was highly developed, he had never launched a car that could fly in the air, which shows that the development potential of the magic-based Varess civilization is even greater than that of the technology-based earth civilization.

Old man Matvey scratched his head, trying to say something, but he didn't know where to speak.

Roland coughed twice and gave the old man an encouraging look.

Matvey's face turned red, and he was forced to walk to his son helplessly, and seemed to hug Leonid reluctantly.

"The Magic Car is indeed a masterpiece that can change the world, congratulations, stinky boy!"

"Thank you, old man, I've been waiting for you for 20 years!" Leonid hugged his father so hard that his voice trembled with excitement. If he hadn't become a "machine man", he would have burst into tears at this time.

"Alas, it's not okay for people to be unconvinced, it's up to you young people in the future......" Old man Matvey tried to pretend to be light-hearted, but the slightly reddened circles under his eyes betrayed his true emotions in his heart. In fact, no one expects his son to make achievements more than him, and he is even more optimistic about the application prospects of the magic car than Leonid himself, but he doesn't want to show it in front of his son.

Seeing that the father and son finally let go of their previous suspicions and treated each other frankly, Roland also showed a relieved smile. Inadvertently swept her gaze to Natalia, who was standing on the side, and found that the secret lady was still expressionless, her eyes were slightly confused, as if she did not understand why Wittgenstein and her father were so emotional, after all, she had long lost the ability to experience emotions.

Roland's heart moved, he walked up to Natalia and whispered, "Close your eyes, I'll help you find what you've lost." ”

Something Lost...... What does it mean?

Natalia was at a loss, but she obeyed His Royal Highness's orders and slowly closed her eyes.

Roland raised his right hand and gently touched Natalia's shoulder, and silver-white magical energy surged from his fingertips, like glowing vines stretching and crawling towards Natalia. This mysterious light seeped into the secret lady's body, causing her to fall into a temporary dizziness, and the mechanical devices responsible for bodily functions stopped working one after another.

"Natalia!" Leonid noticed that his beloved wife was suddenly in a state of shock and ran over eagerly.

"Don't interfere with His Highness Roland's spell casting!" After all, Matvey is well-informed, and hurriedly stopped his son, "He is performing the 9-ring 'Constructing Body Enlightenment Technique' to help Natalia find the mind and emotions that belong to humans. ”
