Chapter 492 (1/2)
As soon as Donne returned to Ellington, he went to find Fiona and told her the results.
After receiving the good news of Tarris's cooperation, Fiona was refreshed and felt a lot less pressure in her heart.
Although she has great confidence in Donne, the strength gap is still too wide just relying on Ellington's strength to fight against a country. Now with the support of Taris, even if they can't fight a single soldier, just support will make Gillard have to distract her energy.
After letting Fiona announce the good news, Donne hurried to the magic Energy Engineering Research Institute.
”Lord, the magic pistol has not been produced yet...”
”I know. I didn't come here for that. Call Brian, too.”
Nokia ran to call Brian, and Donne sat in a nearby chair and began to think.
In the negotiation with nitro, he promised to provide mining equipment to his satisfaction, but in fact, there is only one magic drill that Ellington can use for mining. Although the magic drill is also very good, I'm afraid it can't meet nitro's requirements.
A complete set of magic energy machinery for mining must be produced, not only for nitro, but also for the future development of Ellington. The increase of mining and smelting efficiency is very helpful to improve the speed of industrialization.
”Big brother, what can I do for you? I'm busy!”
Brian and Nokia came quickly. When they heard that Donne was coming, Elia also ran over, and then threw herself into Donne's arms with a smile.
Donne touched Elia's head and said to Brian, ”I have a new idea here. I need you to help me improve it.”
”New idea!?”
Brian and Nokia's eyes lit up: ”about what?”
”Mine.”
After a pause, Donne continued: ”at present, what I'm thinking is to replace the steam engine with the magic engine, integrate it with the dwarf subway, and combine the specific environmental conditions of the mine to produce a mining car that can easily transport ore and miners.”
Although the dwarf subway has been put into use by them, the dense smoke in the sealed space of the steam engine really affects the experience. If the steam engine and external combustion engine can be replaced with an environmentally friendly and more efficient wind power magic engine, the dwarf subway will undoubtedly become better. If Donne's modern design concept and ELF's artistic talent are added, I'm afraid a miraculous means of transportation will eventually be born.
”The magic energy engine replaces the steam engine to become the power of the dwarf subway? Entering the mine for transportation... I'm afraid it's very troublesome. The environment in the mine is very complex, and all kinds of caves and branches are complex, which requires a set of very complex control methods and as detailed maps as possible.”
As a dwarf, Brian has a clear understanding of the mine. Dwarves never use any means of transportation in the mine. They themselves are the best tools. They only need a mining pick.
Nokia calmly analyzed and said: ”the complex terrain is not a problem. As long as the track of the fixed line is laid, the forward route of the mine car can be fixed. The structure and shape of the dwarf subway only need to be slightly improved. By increasing the capacity of the car body and shortening the body, it can well adapt to the environment of the mine. Now the problem is mainly the replacement of the power source.”
”That's right.”
Donne nodded: ”the deformation and design of the structure can be solved by your dwarf technical team. Replace the wind power magic engine as the power source, and the corresponding whole power core should be changed. I think you can find inspiration from the magic cultivator.”
”If it is shouldering the role of transporting miners and ores, it has high requirements for power. I'm afraid it's difficult for a single wind magic engine to meet the requirements, at least it should be dual wind.”
Ordinary wind power magic engine has only one wind magic array, so it is a single wind engine. On this basis, Donne has also developed powerful upgraded engines such as double wind and four wind, but it has not been disclosed to the outside for the time being.
”Go to the warehouse and get the engine yourself. If you need to adjust the structure, come to me. Now you need to make a design drawing of the magic energy harvester, especially how to deal with various special environments in the mine. You can ask Brian to pay attention to dealing with shock absorption, cushioning, loading and unloading. We don't have much time left. Start work as soon as possible.”
Don clapped his hands and motioned them to start: ”after finishing this, I have another thing you need to study.”
Donne is talking about magic cars, that is, electric cars, and magic cars.
This trip to Tarris once again made Donne feel the importance of transportation. Not to mention the road, he was very dissatisfied with the speed of the dragon car alone. He could only run more than 200 kilometers in one day under good road conditions. On the earth, he could drive in an hour.
Now the Star Diamond bank is working overtime to pave the road. With the gradual familiarity with the workflow, the efficiency and speed of paving the road will be further improved, and the main road from Ellington will be paved soon. It is also time to consider the problem of magic car.
Most importantly, if the magic car can be completed, the corresponding heavy transport vehicles and armored vehicles will have certain production conditions. If the war really breaks out, the transportation efficiency of Ellington will be several times that of other forces, which can even determine the outcome of a war.
