Chapter 560: Scheme
In the Mansion of the Lord of Cecil City, Gawain looked at Rebecca who rushed to find him with a surprised expression, and looked at the large pile of sketches and scribbled messy plans brought by the other party: "Your ...... A new train solution? β
"Yes, yes!" Rebecca excitedly placed the pile in front of the old ancestor, "Look at youβthe first mock test has been successful!" These are all relevant information!! β
Thanks to the implementation of the immersion chamber technology, the human brain has been able to connect with the magic net device, and now after the researchers have conducted experiments in the "Origin Laboratory", the relevant data can be directly compiled into data and printed by a printing press directly connected to the immersion module, so Rebecca sorted out such a large amount of information in a very short time, and then she revised the data according to her own ideas, and then took the things over in a hurry.
Gawain only glanced at the sketches at the top of the materials and realized that this was really a completely new plan.
What is depicted on that...... Except for the fact that the carriage was still a carriage, the other structures were basically unrecognizable to him.
Not even the wheels are gone......
"It's ...... Repulsion structure? Gawain was attracted by the wonderful sketch, and he immediately flipped through the detailed description below, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, "You just canceled the engine...... Lift an entire train over the tracks? Use a repulsion generator that can adjust the direction to move forward and backward?! Energy...... Most of the energy is in orbit?! β
"Yes," Rebecca said with a smug face, "the mechanics are unprecedentedly simple, the load is borne by the entire track system, the stability is extremely high, and the damage of a single repulsion point does not affect the train...... Of course, this is only a preliminary plan, and it will definitely be adjusted when it is applied. β
Rebecca talks about the merits of the new idea, and Gawain is completely immersed in a solution that is beyond what he originally conceived.
Rebecca and her technical team went so far as to overturn the infrastructure of the original magic train, they eliminated the engine, changed the energy source, and turned the train ...... Became levitated.
She designed an approximate "V" shaped track, the center of the track is concave, the internal two sides are a series of repulsion points open at obtuse angles, and the chassis of the train as a whole is composed of neat and continuous steel "stress surface", the whole train relies on these repulsive structures to suspend in the air more than ten centimeters away from the track, no need to contact with the track at all, and at the same time, the special V-shaped track can also initially ensure the suspension stability of the train, preventing the carriage from tipping out of the track during the driving process;
On both sides of the track, she set up a series of neatly arranged "relay piles", which are equilateral triangular metal or cement columns fixed vertically next to the track, the same height as the suspended carriage, and one of the ridges of the relay pile is facing the direction of the train carriage; On the carriage shell, a series of repulsion generators that can be adjusted are vertically installed, and these repulsion generators correspond to relay piles next to the track, when they are facing the rear, the train will accelerate forward, and vice versa, the train will slow down and brake, and can even reverse;
The "relay piles" on both sides of the track can not only make the train move forward, but also the second insurance to prevent the train from getting out of the track - whether the train is moving forward or backward, it will be subject to the reaction force of the relay piles on both sides, and the closer it is to one of the sides, the greater the thrust reversal, which can prevent the suspended carriage from "flying" out of the track;
In order to adjust the suspension height of the train during driving, she also set up a part of the additional repulsion unit at the bottom of the train, which can be controlled separately to balance the load of each carriage, and when the overall load of the train is too high, the bottom of the train has the risk of sinking, or the whole track system has an accident, and most of the repulsion points suddenly fail, the train can also rely on its own repulsion unit to maintain suspension, or at least can return to the track relatively smoothly;
ββ¦β¦ Fairly...... Beyond my expectations......"
Gawain couldn't help but exclaim softly.
At the same time, the forward momentum of the train in Rebecca's new plan reminded him of the magic crystal railgun - the railgun also uses the same oblique repulsion rune to push the cannonball forward, but in Rebecca's plan, it is no longer the "track" that produces the propulsion, but the repulsion unit of the cannonball (carriage) itself......
Seeing the old ancestor's satisfied expression, Rebecca couldn't help but feel proud: "Because the thrust required for suspension comes from the track, so adding more carriages will also get more thrust, as long as it does not exceed the upper limit of the output of the unit track, the train can also float stably with additional carriages, and at the same time, because there are a large number of repulsion points working at the same time, even if some of the repulsion points suddenly fail, the train will only slightly reduce the height or speed at most, and will not directly touch the rail and be damaged." β
After a pause, she continued: "According to the current power of the magic network and the interference threshold of the repulsion unit, I divided the orbit into 'sections', each 'section' is about 1.32 kilometers in length, and there is a complete set of repulsion arrays in this section, and the energy is supplied separately between each section, and the damage of one section will not affect the others, and at the same time, each section has about 30 percent of the repulsion unit is the 'safety margin'......
"The energy of the train is divided into two parts, one is the track area, which is used to levitate the carriage, and the other is on the train, which is used to maintain the progress, because the energy is split, and a more labor-saving power scheme is used, and the weight of the carriage itself is reduced, so the load of the carriage is much higher than the earliest scheme......
Gawain nodded slightly, listened carefully to Rebecca's every explanation, and then reminded: "The suspended carriage is not easy to control. β
"Of course, you have to be careful when turning and climbing in a suspended car," Rebecca nodded, apparently thinking about it, "Mr. Carmel floats a lot, and he reminded me. The turning of the carriage of the suspension scheme should be very gentle to prevent the accident of touching the rail or hitting the relay pile due to inertia, so the train route can not have so many sharp curves, and the climb is also, in order to prevent the bottom from touching the rail, the slope must be limited. In addition, the train must slow down when turning and crossing the ramp, and the density of relay piles on both sides of the corresponding ramp and curve must also be increased to provide sufficient power at low speed of the train. β
Gawain couldn't think of any more questions for a while, so he lowered his head and continued to look at the wonderful plan carefully.
A magical train suspended in mid-air...... There is no doubt that this is bold.
But being bold doesn't mean it's not necessarily safe, and as long as technology keeps up, bold solutions can be highly practical β especially in a world where magical forces exist.
And it's bold...... That's just his personal senses, and ordinary people in this world probably don't think there's any difference between a train running on wheels and a train floating in the air with magic - mages can fly around with levitation, and it's not normal for magic to fly?
Looking at it, Gawain suddenly realized that the feasibility of this plan still depends on an important factor: the construction of the magic net in Cecil's territory.
Compared to the original engine trains, the hovering train has a great feature that the energy required to keep it afloat comes from the tracks.
This requires that there must be an uninterrupted magic network energy supply along the entire route of the train.
The engine-based train's energy is all concentrated on the car, so it can travel on tracks that are not covered by the magic net, while the hovering train must travel within the range of the magic net, otherwise it will not be able to float - it is precisely because the Duchy of Cecil continues to build the magic net, because the magic net between several major cities has been connected, that Rebecca's new solution is of practical value.
Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh softly: "Does infrastructure really determine the limit of development......
Rebecca immediately leaned her face over: "Huh? What did you say, Ancestor? β
"No, just talking to himself," Gawain pushed Rebecca back against the door of his head, a little curious, "but how did you suddenly come up with this plan?" This program...... It can be said that it completely jumped out of the previous framework, right? β
"Actually, I didn't come up with it in the first place β I was inspired by Daniel."
Gawain was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Daniel, who had just contacted Cecil's technical team and had just learned about the magic train project, would have such a big effect: "Daniel's inspiration? β
Rebecca nodded her head again and again, and then recounted the whole process of getting inspiration from Daniel.
A man who never knew what a magic train was found the key to breaking the game from a perspective that no one had thought of.
"Thinking is limited, thinking is limited," Gawain couldn't help but shake his head self-deprecatingly after listening to Rebecca's words, "I thought that I would be really broad-minded when I was introspecting all day long......"
Then he looked at the schematic diagram of the train track, and his thoughts suddenly became active: "In your plan, the track itself is fully charged, right?" β
"Of course it is," Rebecca nodded, "not only is it fully charged, but Master Carmel has also set up a small magic net relay point in each section to monitor which of them suddenly goes offline - after all, the train is running at high speed, and it is too dangerous to suddenly fall to the ground in the middle." β
"Since it's ...... to charge the whole thing," Gawain said, touching his chin, "that means you can install a shield generator throughout the track, right?" Will it bring too much extra load? β
"Shield generators? It's okay to ......" Rebecca was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Ah, you're worried that someone is stealing the metal parts from the track?" β
Before Gawain could say anything, he heard a BB voice suddenly coming from the air beside him: "Who is interested in that thing!" It's heavy and hard to dismantle! β
β¦β¦ This goose has a high level of professional sensitivity.
"And no one said anything about you," Gawain said without looking back, then looking at Rebecca, "Preventing someone from destroying the orbit is one thing, and the other is ...... It's about defending against beasts, monsters, and even ...... Assault of aberrations. It's not safe in the wilderness, is it? β
"I see," Rebecca blinked, her face becoming serious, "I'll test it." Also, should we put a little explosives near the orbit ......?"
Gao Wen was suddenly furious: "You give me this unreliable idea to take back!" Under normal circumstances, no one has enough to fry their own railway!! β
While scolding, he was still a little curious: Is it still a daily task for this girl to be scolded every day? Why isn't there a day that doesn't beg for a beating......
Soon, Rebecca, who had completed her daily task (1/1), left the study, and for a while, only Gawain and an invisible Amber were left in the huge room.
With a shadow floating in the air, Amber's figure gradually emerged, and she walked to the stack of materials on the high desk, with a hint of sigh in her tone: "It's really amazing...... The plan you put forward in the first place is tantamount to a complete rejection. Don't you regret it? β
"I'm just glad that someone was able to overturn my plan completely, and that Rebecca and the rest of the technologists weren't going to go all the way down this thankless idea because I came up with the original plan," Gawain shook his head, "this Daniel...... He's a talent. β
"It's really a talent, so I'm curious, how can such a talented person be so loyal to you?" Amber glanced at Gawain, her tone full of puzzlement.
Gawain smiled.
It may be awe at first, then ...... That's the power of knowledge.
He shook his head: "The secret of the elderly. β
Amber secretly rolled her eyes, and said in her heart that if she doesn't like to say it, she won't say it, and the secrets of the elderly, the matter of making more than 80 princesses back then was written in the book, what other secrets are there......
But given that she had really been slapped on the wall several times, she didn't dare to say what was in her heart.
Gawain didn't know how many thoughts were going through Amber's mind that was worth being slapped on the wall, he just put away the materials on the desk properly, and then found a personal item from his body.
A silver-white ring.
Amber saw the ring and asked curiously, "Huh?" What are you doing? β
Gawain rubbed the surface of the ring and said unhurriedly: "The old man full of secrets wants to meet another person who may also hide secrets......"
