Chapter 37 Rush Away
"Mr. Hua Wuming, do you want to sit in?"
"I'm sorry, I still have a show to watch, so let's ride this way."
"Is that so, I'd like to talk to you more, but I'm sorry."
"Would you like to be Miguel's partner instead of me?"
"Yes, I understand"
Olivier nodded, puffing out his cheeks in dissatisfaction.
"Miguel, look, I gave you a pass, take advantage of it."
After confirming that the two of them were in the cabin, I also climbed onto the bridge.
"Mr. Zeor, please tell me you have luggage."
"Hahahaha, I brought deer and wild boars from the mountains alone, it should be fine."
"That's not a problem."
"Don't bully Miguel too much."
"Hurt? It can't be, that's education, isn't it? ”
"Hahahaha, education, I don't think I can learn."
"I won't deny it."
The carriage left the school and headed to the north gate of the city.
"It's still cloudy, but there's no sign of rain yet."
If you have deposited money in the Adventurer's Guild, you will naturally want to be able to withdraw it at will.
So, I came up with a way to move to Ilang by myself.
The idea that came to my mind that day was to make a floating board with celestial attribute magic to move on the smooth pavement, but it was too far away.
What is needed is a force other than manpower, but not horses.
On the way to Ibro, Mr. Zell taught me how to steer the horse, but frankly, the horse kept licking me.
If I show my fangs and bark like a sheepdog, they might listen to me, but if I just shout, they won't move.
When I think of power other than horses, I think of the idea of wind power.
Wind magic items are reacted to depending on the strength of the wind, so it seems that if you create a magic circle that can blow strong winds, it seems that you can use it as a power source.
I immediately solidified the air into a wind cube with celestial attributes, changed the size, thickness, degree of compression, etc., and experimented with the strength and duration of the wind.
At the same time, we started making frameworks.
At first, I thought about putting wind power on a scooter, but it seemed unlikely that the power part would be made that small, so I decided to make it a motorcycle.
This image shows a motorcycle with a jet engine that challenged the world record for the highest speed, but reduced its size to make it look shabby.
Since we couldn't make the suspension, we installed wide, bouncy tires on it to improve ride comfort.
The so-called balloon tires are also used to drive on ordinary ground, not runways made with celestial magic.
When transporting deer and wild boars killed from the mountains, the car travels on a route made with celestial magic to bring them in, but since the village of Rega is about 60 kilometers away from Ilang, the road is far away. is difficult.
Also, if we can save mana to complete the route, we can afford the mana of riding the bike itself.
The prototype frame was simple in shape and consisted mainly of thick tubes to house the Wind Magic Array, a head tube that connected the forks, and struts to support the rear axle.
The tires are about 20 inches in diameter, and because it fits my body type, and the riding position is like lying face down on the main frame, the line of sight is pretty low.
"Because it's wind-driven, there's no chain and no brakes."
If an obstacle arises, I intend to create a route to avoid it with celestial magic.
I personally think it's a stupid means of transport, but it's much better than a hang glider that flies without testing.
The prototype of this wind-powered off-road bike was completed in a total of seven days from conception to production.
The basic power part is a wind magic weapon with a diameter of 20 cm and a thickness of 7 cm.
Ordinary wind magic weapons have magic arrays engraved on the wooden boards, so they can't be used on top of each other, but the Rubik's Cube created with Heavenly Attribute magic is cylindrical, and the area except for the Rubik's Cube pattern is hollow. Reusable.
Theoretically, if you add two, you can reach a speed of 20 kilometers, and if you add three, you can reach a speed of 30 kilometers.
What's more, it is very effective because of this hollow shape.
Currently, my design is to fit up to five on the bike.
"You should basically think about installing up to three before you get used to it, and once you're used to it, think about installing five or more."
"Now that the bike is done, there's no choice but to ride it."
I picked a sunny day and decided to take a test drive around Kiyomura.
Please wear armor and helmet for safety.
Go to the outskirts of the village, use the Celestial Magic to form a bicycle, and install wind magic tools on the frame when straddles.
With a high-pitched whistling sound, the bike slowly moved forward.
When the bike started moving, I added a magic tool and it accelerated.
It's as fast as riding a bike down a long hill, but it feels faster than it actually is due to the low line of sight.
The balloon tires absorb the bumps, so while there is no push-up feel and the ride is a little fluffy, it's not bad.
When I started to think it was a pretty good result, the tires started to slip in the corners.
"Wow...... Tattoo...... Daha! ”
The moment he deviated from the course and overturned, the bike disappeared and he rolled around on the grass, leaving only his full body armor.
The speed was just that I pedaled my mamacari so hard that it didn't do any harm to my body.
Although the tires had proper elasticity, they didn't have enough grip, and since there were no brakes, we couldn't slow down enough before heading into the corner.
"Sure enough, it's useless if you don't brake......"
Since we couldn't make a complex structure, we installed a pedal that utilized the lever principle, and when you stepped on it, the tip touched the wheel and slowed down.
Build a new bike and resume testing. The good thing about celestial attribute magic is that it can be recreated many times through trial and error.
Before the corner, we reduced the number of wind magic when braking and increased the number of wind magic when accelerating in the corner, but the corner was not smooth.
Basically, the wind system can only be switched on and off, and the output can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number, but because it is driven by the wind, there is a unique time lag.
If you slow down too much, it will take time to re-accelerate, making your ride unstable.
As in corners, if you delay the timing of acceleration when going uphill, the speed will drop dramatically.
On the other hand, if the timing of the deceleration is delayed, the car will not be able to complete the turn and will deviate from the track.
In order to achieve a smooth ride like a race car, more ingenuity is required.
"Even so, once you reach speed, you can do it much faster than a carriage, and you don't have to please the horse."
Even at the time of testing, we were able to reach Kishiro in about two-thirds of the transit time.
"This time should be shortened."
Our current goal is to travel from Rega Village to Iro at three times the speed of a horse-drawn carriage.
If you can do that, you can travel to and from Ilang on a day trip with plenty of time.
If the one-way trip is less than half a day, you can spend a full day exploring Ilang.
We made a U-turn in front of Kishiro Village and returned to Atsuga Village for further testing and improvement.
On the way, I passed a carriage, but the coachman with the reins watched me go with wide eyes.
The bicycle itself, which has undergone various improvements, as well as the wind magic weapon, are all made of celestial attribute magic, so they can't be seen by others at all.
In fact, he was prone with the steering wheel, straddling the bike, and his feet on the pedals, but to others, he seemed like he was flying on the ground, raising clouds of dust.
The Atuca may be familiar with the sight of them coming down from the mountains in wagons with their prey, using routes built in the fields, but this may come as a surprise to those who know nothing about it. No wonder.
It's not good in case the horse is frightened and rampage, so when passing or overtaking the carriage, it's best to make a route and pass by at a distance.
I used the magic back and forth from Rega Village to Kiyo Village for about four hours, but the magic was still enough.
With this feeling, it seems that there is no problem in continuing to ride all day, and it is not bad to go on long trips in the future.
