"It's a total of 600 meters from the starting point to the end point, and it takes 30 seconds." An alchemist saw the magic clock in his hand and said hesitantly.
As for the second half, the vehicle inexplicably lost control and fell apart, and Philip flew out directly, and he didn't have time to record it at all.
"The speed in the second half is about 90 kilometers per hour." Lin En said with emotion. He had already calculated it through the data from the intelligent brain.
Upon hearing this number, everyone present was shocked beyond words. This was no longer something that could be described as fast; it was simply flying!
"Is this the power of the alchemical internal combustion engine?" Albert murmured to himself. Even though their knowledge of alchemy was limited, they understood what such speed meant.
Orlando was even more shocked. As early as a week ago, he heard Lin En say that he wanted to make some weapons to deal with the upcoming war.
In fact, he didn't hold out much hope for this. After all, the time left for them was very limited, and war was no different from other things. Even if he produced some powerful alchemical equipment, it would be difficult to affect the war situation.
In comparison, he hoped that Lin En would focus all his energy on becoming a great wizard.
However, the extraordinary speed and power of the alchemical internal combustion engine brought great shock to Orlando.
He imagined a hundred such alchemical vehicles, covered in steel armor, charging across the battlefield, unstoppable. Just thinking about it made him excited...
After the initial excitement, Philip and others walked over to the overturned alchemical four-wheeler and checked it out, trying to find out what went wrong.
The broken gear caused the vehicle to lose control directly, and it also caused a chain reaction, resulting in serious damage to the four-wheeled vehicle. A group of alchemists soon started arguing and discussing.
"It's probably because there's something wrong with the cylinder you designed. The explosion of the hydrogen and oxygen mixture is too violent. I said before that the thickness of the steel should be increased."
After looking at it for a while, an alchemist found that the exterior of the internal combustion engine had been slightly deformed, and estimated that other internal parts were also severely damaged. He immediately suspected that the piston or tie rod might be broken, causing the vehicle to lose control.
The wizard next to him immediately jumped up and cursed. "You're talking nonsense! My cylinder is fine. I mixed the blood of the fire lion into the steel. There is absolutely no problem with its ability to withstand high temperatures! There must be something wrong with the gears and chains you made..."
"And the wheels, they're all crooked. Which idiot designed this? It says the material has to be resistant to compression, it has to be resistant to compression!"
There was constant discussion and argument, and no one was willing to admit that it was their own fault that caused the accident.
Lin En walked forward, carefully checked it, and said helplessly, "The strength of these materials is not up to standard."
With Yieta's current industrial standards, the strength of the steel produced is limited. This simple four-wheeled vehicle was forced to accelerate to 90 kilometers per hour, which was indeed beyond its ability to withstand and would inevitably fall apart.
"In addition, the wheel design is also problematic. The two front wheels should be smaller than the rear wheels to help with balance. We can also add a steering shaft and tie rod to the front wheels to give the car the ability to steer, as well as slow down and accelerate..." Lin En kept adding.
Philip and others quickly took out the design drawings and wrote down what Lynn said, especially the steering and speed control functions mentioned by the other party, which were exactly the topics they had been studying.
"In a few days, I will organize a few books related to fluid mechanics. They are all summarized by the masters in the [Secret Society]. If you have free time, read more. They will always be useful." Lin En said with lingering interest.
Philip and the others nodded, completely unaware of how terrifying the fluid mechanics that Lin En was talking about was...
"Dean Lin, is the hydrogen explosion that drives the internal combustion engine what you mentioned before?" Albert asked.
He was very puzzled as to how this internal combustion engine converted the explosion into power to drive the vehicle.
"Yes, what the internal combustion engine does is convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, and uses the principle of gas expansion when heated to generate propulsion..." Lin En explained the principles of the internal combustion engine to everyone present in as much detail as possible.
Under normal circumstances, this is definitely a key technology that needs to be kept secret, but Lin En has no intention of hiding it this time, because he is really short of manpower. Improving the alchemical internal combustion engine requires manpower, designing a new ironclad warship requires manpower, and researching gunpowder also requires manpower...
He wanted to split one person into two people to use! Anyone who could understand and comprehend, no matter if he was a wizard apprentice or a formal wizard, or even just an ordinary person who couldn't do magic, would be immediately grabbed to do research for him, and treatment and status would not be a problem...
"Is this chemistry?" Albert nodded as if he understood something. Although he only understood the general idea, he could see how ingenious the design of the internal combustion engine was.
"No, it's chemistry plus physics!" Lynn said with a smile.
…
The experiment conducted in Yieta College spread throughout the entire Yieta Harbor the next day with the publicity of Magic Daily.
Everyone knows that under the leadership of the city lord, the wizards have developed an alchemical carriage with four wheels. Not only does it run as fast as the wind, it also does not need horses or camels to pull it and can move on its own.
The rumors soon became more and more outrageous. According to the exaggerated descriptions of some students, the alchemy vehicle was not only fast but also a powerful weapon. It once launched Lord Philip like an alchemy cannon, with amazing destructive power...
The outrageous rumors made Philip extremely embarrassed every time he was asked about it, but he didn't know how to explain it.
This news soon caused a huge sensation as the caravan brought the Magic Daily into Greenriel.
Whether it is the maximum speed of 90 kilometers per hour or the alchemical internal combustion engine that is rumored to be ten times more efficient than a steam engine, it is hard to believe.
The people who could not accept it the most were naturally the wizards in the Alchemy Association who were dedicated to researching and improving the steam engine.
Is the first magic revolution they are planning going to end before it even begins?
