Chapter 1211 - A Farming Tractor (1/2)

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what’s Lady Anna driving?”

Roland turned around and saw Echo and Soraya rush toward him.

“It’s a car, a Magic Cube-powered car!” Mysterious Moon supplied the answer fervently. “If you want to drive it, go line up.”

“A… car?” Soraya echoed, “A car powered by a steam engine?”

“Yup, but the boiler of the steam engine has been replaced by the relic of the radiation clan, so that’s why it’s so small,” Mystery Moon boasted. “It’s still a lot larger than an electric motor though. I wish it could be powered by Dawn I. That’ll be perfect… No, then we should call it a magnet-driven car!”

‘You can barely manage to work with dozens of copper rods,” Lily retorted while twitching her lips. “And now you want to power a car?”

“Er…” Mystery Moon faltered. “I, I just came of age, so obviously I’m not that powerful. Perhaps I could manufacture tons of Dawn I after I upgrade.”

“I would rather put my hope in Miss Doris,” Lily said scathingly.

“Shut up, or I’ll take away all your Chaos Drinks!”

“I dare you — ”

“Haha…” Phyllis burst into a laughter. “Actually, no matter it’s powered by steam or electricity, we still call it a ‘car’.”

“Really?” All the other witches said together while looking toward her.

“Yes, in the Dream World, it’s called a car,” Phyllis replied triumphantly. “The cars in the Dream World are much better than this one Her Highness is now driving. They could not only shelter us from rain and wind, but they’re also equipped with an advanced heating and air-conditioning system. It’s pretty much like a mobile house, and it’s a lot faster than horses!”

“Have you… driven a car before?” Mystery Moon asked, her eyes widening in curiosity.

“Of course,” Phyllis bragged. “I once drove His Majesty’s vehicle on an endless highway. The vehicle literally trembled when I drove at the maximum speed. I could only hear wind howling around me, and I felt I could conquer the whole world!”

Roland mopped his forehead, amazed that Phyllis could drive his battered mini van in the same manner as she drove a luxurious sports car. The truth was that his vehicle had poor noise insulation and it always wobbled violently on highways.

Nevertheless, even the old mini van functioned better than this cube-powered vehicle.

It had taken Roland only four days to complete the production. The vehicle was comprised of a steam engine at the front, a heating system at the rear, a power unit attached to the automobile frame, and a couch in the middle. Apart from a steering wheel, a clutch and a brake, the vehicle had no gearbox but only a valve next to the seat to adjust the speed.

Once the Magic Ceremony Cube heated up the water and set the steam engine in motion, the vehicle would start to move. As the air pressure in the conduits increased, the vehicle accelerated. Then the driver could switch the valve on to release some steam so that the steam engine would not overload. In this way, the driver adjusted the speed of the vehicle.
