Chapter 516： More powerful tools (2/2)

train.

Compared with that thing, the magic car in front of it will naturally look dwarfed in transportation capacity.

After all, the magic car is not entirely for the purpose of solving the transportation problem in the South. It is only a supplement in this respect. Its real significance is to open up the subsequent major changes in transportation, in order to replace the traditional carriage, in order to manufacture agricultural Machinery, manufacturing engineering machinery, and even preparing for military vehicles.

Gao Wen knows that the trains on the earth were born much earlier than the practical cars powered by internal combustion engines (not counting the early steam engine-powered experimental locomotives) because of the trains used on Earth. The “stupid black and thick” steam engine is far lower than the precision, compact and efficient internal combustion engine at the starting point of the technology. At the same time, various front-end technologies (tires, batteries, electric plugs, etc.) used in automobiles have also experienced a relatively long period of time. In the period of development, all of this is determined by objective historical facts, but in this world, the laws of development of many things are destined to be different from the earth, and the order of many things is naturally different.

The steam engine could not be realized, and the rotor-type magic engine was born. The world jumped into a high-efficiency power source similar to the "internal combustion engine" or "electric motor", at the same time, due to the accumulation of technology in the world itself. Gao Wen’s conscious guidance makes the “magic car”, a sophisticated vehicle, appear in the world earlier than the train, but this does not mean that the world does not need a train.

In fact, the South is now in need of it, and it also has the technical foundation to develop it.

Living here for so long, Gao Wen has learned to abandon some old ideas and realize the real situation hidden in the dark and obscured appearance of this special era. The world’s technical reserves are far richer than he imagined, the starting point of technology. It is also far higher than what he has seen, except that these techniques are concentrated in the hands of a few people, or in the form of fragments scattered in the hands of the zero-star intellectuals (this "technology over-concentration" and "technical fragmentation" phenomenon is The result of the collapse of the ancient Gangbang Empire, which led to the society here seems to be far behind the height of its real technology.

After trying to understand this, Cecil's technology development speed is naturally not difficult to understand: in many cases, those technologies are not developed from scratch, but only in the production of existing "upper" technology. Reconstruction and transformation of the technology of the broken state, even if the truth is true, if Gao Wen’s "scientific thoughts" are copied and thrown into the country where Tifeng is rich and talented, their development speed will only It is faster than Cecil.

Even so, Gao Wen will recognize and respect the talents and efforts of those researchers, and maintain the highest level of trust in his own research department. He knows that science is progressive with the fragmentation of broken technology. Reconstructed, with the development of various theories in the field of magic technology, one day sooner or later, this land will get rid of the shadow of the ancient Gangyan Empire, and step into the field where the great magician men of the Starfire era have not been involved.

"Ancestors? Ancestors?"

Rebecca’s voice suddenly came from the side, awakening Gao Wen from his thoughts.

"What are you thinking about?"

Rebecca got in front of Gao Wen with a look of concern and curiosity on his face.

Gao Wen realized that he had thought too much too far, and he was already a little distracted. So he quickly coughed and adjusted his expression, and then he thought and said: "Rebecca, you know, in fact, the magic car is not the most Strong land transport..."

Rebecca squinted: "Do you mean... the bigger magic car?! With a multi-row engine dragging a bigger car?"

"...not quite the same, it is indeed a bigger car, but its operating mechanism is completely different from that of the magic car," Gao Wen organized an easy-to-understand vocabulary to describe the one that never appeared in this world. Things that have passed, "You can imagine a car like this: it has a 'magic engine' that is ten times, dozens, or even hundreds of times more powerful than the magic car. This magic engine is pulling a dozen. The carriage is running on the ground..."

Rebecca widened his eyes: "How is it possible! The ground will collapse! And what about the turn? What should I do if I bump into a bump?"

“So it needs to be on the track. The so-called rails are trenches or rails made of steel on the ground. They can disperse the pressure from heavy cars, reduce the wear of metal wheels and improve train stability...”
