Chapter 707: Impact Test

Since cars are not yet commonplace, as soon as you hear the sound of an engine, the sentry at the gate will raise the crossbar of the access control and let people enter directly. Of course, they will also look at who is in the car and register.

Kaveh's old butler, Ahanu, was a familiar face, and so was the magician. But the two people in the back seat were the guests, but the ones who could follow the two should be the ones who were invited. It's just why, the old butler's expression is serious.

When the car went straight in, the team leader who lowered the crossbar remembered the face in the back seat that felt familiar to him, the demon prince Azad......

"No, it won't." He whispered, turning to ask the other colleagues. "Have you noticed who was in the back seat of the car just now?"

"Who? Aren't they the two invited guests? Another man on the sentry asked back.

"How do I think there is a person in the back seat, the fourteenth son of His Majesty the Emperor."

At the mention of that forbidden character, everyone looked at each other. Someone asked, "Captain, are you sure?" ”

"No, I'm not sure." The team leader said very dryly.

"So, notify the people inside?"

"Tell me, if it's that one, be prepared. And that's not something we can stop. ”

Once the decision was made, an internal warning system was used to notify the group of people who were not on duty in the barracks. And using the restricted permissions block on the forum, they said what they found. There was no duty, and the rest of the duke's guards jumped for a while.

In the face of the Demon Prince, who is no different from the Scourge, even if they are warriors enough to make Grand Duke Kaveh proud, there is no good way to deal with it. Some exist, and it is not human beings who have the means to resist. But we still have to come up with a solution.

Finally they decided to send a group of men after him. At least someone can warn them when they make a move, and the rest of the guards will have a chance to evacuate the people in the center.

And the people sent out were to find the guests who had been invited to the experimental field.

Today's test site is to be tested in three sets of crash tests, one by the heavily armed knights of the Duke's Guard as a reference standard, one by car No. 0, and one by a tentative model of Type 732A, an all-ordinary car.

Ten sets of log barriers are placed in front of each group, and there are five sets of cement blocks behind the logs. Naturally, the Heavy Knights had people from the Duke's Guard to help prepare, and Lin mainly set up simple test puppets on the two cars to replace the test dummies on the earth. In addition to collecting crash data, it is also responsible for simply controlling the vehicle's progress.

Azard and William Greco, of course, were curious about something new that they had never seen before. Surrounded by the two cars, they kept asking, but luckily most of the questions that the other magicians or craftsmen had been able to answer, because they were the same questions they had asked before.

Once all sensors are confirmed to be connected, the experiment is ready to begin. Since the Heavy Knight belongs to the control group, he starts first.

The horses ridden have the blood of Warcraft, not only are they large, but they also have excellent weight and speed. With a full-coverage vest and a heavily armed knight, this combination can be said to be a great weapon of death on the battlefield.

Even in the Duke's Guard, only about half of the men and horses were able to equip this complete set. And in order to use the duke's guard of a thousand people more flexibly, it is impossible to equip half of the knights with such heavy equipment. As a heavy cavalry with a sharp sword, there are only two hundred horses.

The knight rode his horse and stepped back to the charging distance. After confirming that everyone was ready, they rode forward under the command, and at the same time, in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the horses, there was also a trumpeter next to him who blew the trumpet. Ride your horse to maximize your speed and use the Knight's exclusive skill, War Charge!

At the moment of using the combat skill, the man and horse reached the realm of unity, and the power was like the reappearance of an ancient giant beast, letting out a terrifying roar, roaring forward! Three logs were broken in a row, and only then did the war-horse man stand up and stop before the fourth log was obstructed.

The knight took control of the warhorse, paced back to the beginning of the test area, and said with satisfaction: "I broke three of them, I thought it would be less." If it were an infantry phalanx, I would have been able to chisel through it alone. Dealing with this kind of positional type of facility is really not what War Horse is good at. ”

Regarding the inexplicable superiority of the knights of the Duke's Guard, Lin did not give any evaluation, but looked at the data that was fed back very seriously.

Because it was flesh and blood, Lin did not ask the other party to do his best to bump into the last moment before his death. Instead, let the other party do what they can, and hit the obstacles in front of them as much as possible. And the three log obstacles almost consume most of the horse's kinetic energy, and with the instinct of the creature, it will stop its actions before it is in danger, and it is impossible to ask for more.

After a little tidying up, the next set of experiments was prepared, and the prototype car with all ordinary materials came first. Because the materials suitable for gearboxes and propeller shafts are not yet mature, both standards are reduced to the level that existing materials can load. With two forward gears and one reverse gear, it can reach speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour. It takes about forty-four seconds to accelerate from zero to top speed.

Because unlike the impact test of the earth, there is a towing device that can instantly increase the speed of the vehicle to the target value, so Lin can only increase the distance and cooperate with the control puppet to increase the speed.

The puppet's braking is very simple, gear with the right hand, grasp the steering wheel with the left hand, accelerator with the right foot, and clutch with the left foot. In addition to that, there are the impact sensors on the body. Wait until the car and puppet are set up, and everyone will work together to reverse the car far enough before activating the puppet.

The engine made of ordinary materials emitted a high-pitched scream, and the sound of the exhaust pipe was like that of a patient who was depleted of breath, making intermittent gasps. When the speed was increased to the extreme, there was a bang, and the prototype car hit the first log head-on and the tail of the car was raised. When the rear of the car hit the ground hard, the car stopped.

The first log, of course, was not unharmed, it was half-broken, but it was not broken. This result caused the people of the Duke's Guard to laugh and make some unintelligible remarks. Including 'impact test, from the beginning the war horse should be directly on the car, they can still overturn the car with flesh and blood' and so on.

Regardless of where the mysterious confidence of this group of people came from, Lin clearly knew that this half of the Duke's Guard had a lot of complaints about being sent here. But such sour words are not enough to defeat a guy who claims to be thicker than the city wall, Lin is just checking the last car 0 to be tested.

Everything was ready, and several magicians and craftsmen pushed the vehicle back some distance. This is calculated to be able to reach a distance of 60 kilometers per hour when hitting the first log obstacle based on the acceleration of car 0.

And according to the request of Kavi Gong, who is actually his agent, the butler Ahanu, he activated the magic array engraved on the hood. Magic - Savage Charge, ranked among the top 10 most useless magics, the only one that uses magic to attack.

Imagine what the result would be if you throw an egg at a stone, and it is not difficult to understand how this destructive magic is disliked by magicians. From the invention of the magician, at the moment of completion of this magic, after slamming himself against the wall and crashing into a puddle of flesh, when he can't think of it or when he commits suicide, magicians prefer this magic. Pain-free is guaranteed, and resurrection cannot be saved.

However, this savage collision magic is quite useful when used on sturdy puppets, although it is not without its drawbacks, such as the difficulty of controlling and the difficulty of stopping the timing of the puppet. Therefore, they wanted to know what kind of effect this magic would produce when it was used on a custom car made of all-magic materials.

Honestly, someone is also interested in knowing. So, launch the puppet.

The acceleration of the No. 0 car is not comparable to that of the 732A, and the difference is clearly audible from the sound of the exhaust pipe. But at this start, Lin found the first miscalculation, that is, the grip of the tires.

Because the movements controlled by the puppet are quite rough and not delicate at all, the result of heavy throttle and clutch release is that the tires are idling in place, and it has become the first tire burning scene in the mysterious land. Even though the tire material has been studied and refined by the craftsmen at the center, it is still not possible to properly direct the full power of the engine to the ground.

At the moment when the tires were hotter and grabbed the ground, car 0 shot out like an arrow. Lin had no doubt that the cargo would run into the obstacle in front of it at a speed faster than the scheduled speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

Just look at the first log obstacle smashing, the second smashing, the third ...... Even after the tenth log obstacle was hit with a pink brittle, car 0 went on to destroy the concrete barricade. Some crashed open, some knocked over, some flew into the air, and some were knocked into the sky. The last concrete barricade with high hopes was smashed in two.

A group of people were just so stupid to watch car 0 go away. Including the brother who was riding on the all-overlay heavy armor warhorse, remembering that he boasted that he wanted to hedge against this car, he was now trembling and couldn't say anything. The rest of the Duke's Guard thought the same thing, and they all looked at each other.

William Greco duly asked the question, "Do you have a way to stop that car?" ”

"Well, that's a good question. Has anyone ever thought about it? Lin turned his head to look at the magicians and craftsmen who were specifically responsible for the experiment. All of them shook their heads in unison with wide-eyed expressions.

"Then ......," Lin looked at the old butler Ahanu and the people of the Duke's Guard.

But looking at their avoidance looks, I don't really want to talk to them anymore. Because if you don't think about it, the car will rush out of the range of the test site. If you're lucky, you might be able to stop when you hit any mountain, or stop until you run out of fuel. If you're unlucky, you don't know where you're going to go.
