Chapter 91: The Advent of the Automobile
The principle Lei Zhe has roughly heard clearly, although it is a little troublesome, but if it can achieve the goal, it will be useful.
Under Lei Zhe's gaze, Robier carefully put a first-order Warcraft crystal nucleus into it.
The switch is activated.
Boom.
The whole steam engine shook.
Soon the gear set on it rotated, and the speed was very fast, but the noise was a little loud.
βNICEοΌβ
The breakthrough of the steam engine can be said to be the happiest thing for Lei Zhe, which means that many things can be realized.
The first thing Lei Zhe wanted to do was naturally to develop a car, compared to the slow transportation of humans, if there is a car, things will be transported quickly, and there is no need to waste more manpower on Turku's map resources.
The design of the drawings was already underway, and Lei Zhe soon ordered the things to be sent to the craftsman's department, and all the craftsmen began to develop the first car.
Lei Zhe has basically soaked in the craftsman department for guidance for the past three days, after all, Lei Zhe is the only person who has seen a car, made a car, and driven a car.
With Lei Zhe's guidance and advice, at least the first steam locomotive would not be too strange.
The first car was not made into a large truck, because the Magic Crystal steam engine was small in size and converted less kinetic energy, which was not convenient for transporting some special large goods, and it was very suitable for making a small car.
Because it was the first car, Lei Zhe thought about it more.
Things like the trunk are not considered, and in order to make the car simpler, the outer skeleton is directly loaded with wheels.
It's a very stylish and explicit car.
When the last wheel was on and the dye was brushed, Lei Zhe dragged the car out into the sun to dry.
"My lord, is this already done?" Robile was puzzled as to what the hell was the thing in front of him, and it was not difficult to see from the structure that it had simple wheels made of metal and rubber, and seats inside, somewhat like a horse-drawn carriage.
But the car had no place for the driver, and there was no rope to tie the horse.
"Almost, it has been verified just now, the wheels can be driven, and there is no problem with the control of the steering wheel on the front wheels, the actual situation has to wait for the road to be slowly adjusted. Lei Zhe shook his head.
Now the current steam engine can only be turned off and on, and there is no way to control the speed, this car is basically the same as the bumper car is not limited by gear, only brakes, and it is easy to have an accident if the brakes do not work.
It's not particularly safe.
"It should be almost, let's get ready to tow the car to an open field for experiments. "I touched the dye on it, and although it wasn't as sticky as the paint, it wouldn't be too much of a problem if I didn't scratch it with a knife.
It's a little blue car.
There is no inlaid glass or other things around, and the front deceleration glass will definitely be needed in the future, but the speed of this car is not much faster, and the restrictions of tires doom this car not to drive too fast.
There are a lot of open spaces in Rost City, many places have not been built, and Rost's planning is so large that it makes the whole Rost City look very empty.
Picking a position where no one would appear, Lei Zhe asked people to stop.
The car was transported directly by board truck.
"Colmar, would you like to experience it?"
The corners of Colmar's mouth twitched, and he strode out without saying anything, because there was no door, so Colmar did it directly on the car.
"You sit down over there. β
"You want to try?" Colmar was stunned, he still knew the driver's seat, because both the airship and the ship had this steering wheel in front of them.
"Of course it's me, how could I possibly let you go on the road with someone like you who doesn't have a driver's license. Lei Zhe laughed, he is a person with a driver's license.
After sitting on it, the texture of the car was very poor, and it was a little uncomfortable to sit up, but Lei Zhe was very excited in his heart, because this was the first car, the Holy Empire, no, it was the first car in the entire Hill Continent that could drive autonomously.
What this means is self-evident.
There is no key, there is only one switch on it, this switch controls the access of energy in the back, as long as the energy in the back is turned on, it will be used to drive the steam engine, and then let the rear wheels drive, so that the whole car can move.
The principle is not complicated.
But after all, there are a lot of things to consider in cars, and this kind of handmade products are naturally not as accurate as those produced on the assembly line, but Lei Zhe is very broad-minded, and even if something happens, he will not be hurt.
Because he is now a magician, as for Colmar, he has no need to worry, a car crashes into Colmar, and Lei Zhe believes that it must be the car that is injured.
Rumble!
The steam engine starts.
Colmar was stunned as the car moved slowly forward, slid off the scooter with a spur.
The moment the tires touched the ground, the whole car was running.
"Great, my lord!! moved. β
"Don't make such a fuss, isn't that normal. Holding the steering wheel, Lei Zhe controlled it, and the steering wheel obviously needed to be adjusted, which was not very accurate, but there was no big problem in driving in such an open position.
"What a genius!"
"The Earl is a genius!"
"There's no horse, there's no monster!
"The car actually moved on its own. β
The craftsmen who were watching were dumbfounded, and then jumped up excitedly, their experiment was successful, their purpose was to make the car move on its own, which has never changed.
After walking around the empty square for a few laps, the speed of the car was not very fast, and the maximum speed could only reach forty kilometers per hour, but Lei Zhe knew that this speed could be improved, and the stability of the car was not enough, and it needed to be reinforced.
But that's all the things to be done in the future, and the only thing that can be sure now is that the car, he really made the car.
Turn off the switch first, Lei Zhe stepped on the brake, the car stopped very slowly, and the braking system still needs to be improved, so that the sudden sudden braking without a seat belt will definitely hurt people.
"Do you want to try?"
"Of course!" Colmar nodded with a peck, this car is too peculiar, even if he stands on the back of the monster and fights while galloping, he will not have any panic, but he has just taken a ride from Lei Zhe, he has an unprecedented coolness.
Changed positions, because he was worried that Colmar was not very familiar with the operation, Lei Zhe followed.
First of all, the easiest thing to do is to play the steering wheel in subject two, and after confirming that Colmar can simply play the steering wheel, Lei Zhe asked Colmar to start the car.
Rumble!
With a soft sound, the car moved slowly, and Colmar felt sweat on his grip on the steering wheel.
"Don't panic, this car isn't that fast. β
