Sword of Daybreaker

The lord temporarily left his loyal capital, but the land continues to prosper in a steel-like order.

There was no social turmoil, no order disorder, the military was still executing orders, the sheriff was still maintaining law and order, the market was still prosperous, and the night was still safe. People once worried that Cecil would fall into a certain degree of turmoil after the lord temporarily left, but the facts It is proved that the system of the government office established by Gao Wen Cecil and the strict laws have played a role in the lord, and the law is still there.

In the city of Cecil, which still maintains prosperity and vitality, new things are emerging as usual.

In the eastern part of the city, at the border of the factory area, at the end of the "mechanical square", thousands of people who heard the news are gathering in the high and open areas, and more people are taking the bus from the factory area, the dock area and other urban areas. Walking on foot, the more open space on the open space.

The season has already entered the winter, although the first snow has not yet arrived, but a few days ago, a rainfall still brought a substantial cooling. At this time, there was a small north wind blowing from the other side of the Baishui River, reminding people of the winter. The cold, however, this low temperature does not offset the enthusiasm of the citizens. They are still gathering more and more on the open ground, gathering on only a few high open spaces, looking up to the separated police station and soldiers in the east. The open area, and in their view, a strangely structured, gleaming rune with a wonderful "pillar" line on both sides is extending straight out to the end of the line of sight.

The citizens speculated on what the "magic train" described in yesterday's radio show was, or discussed enthusiastically about how many new jobs and extra income this new thing can bring, and more eye-catching people. I noticed that the reporters from Cecil Weekly, Miscellaneous Newspaper, and Qiwen Museum Weekly have come to the top of the high platform closest to the east side, and set up the magic net photography device for the weird "road", which is a big capture. The head of the news.

The Cecil Weekly is the earliest and most widely distributed newspaper in the Principality. The Talks and Opinions Weekly are two newspapers that have only recently emerged in recent months. The former was founded by several scholars from the northern region, while the latter was A local entrepreneurial businessman and several artisans who are passionate about modern technology, as the number of people on the territory is increasing, people have different reading interests, and the audience for these two new readings is gradually increasing. increase.

People are crowded, guessing, discussing new things that are about to happen, and that new things have not let everyone wait too long, as the newspapers advertised, "the concept of advocating time is the trait of the glorious Cecil." Along with the loud mechanical bell on the large "gear square" in the distance, a melodious whistle sound was also introduced into people's ears.

The whistle sounds people can't help but think of the increasing sound of the magical mechanical boat on the White River, but it is sharper and more agile, and with the clearer flute, the crowds on the front and the open space are getting more and more There was a lot of turmoil, accompanied by an increasing number of exclamations and admirations.

A steel-built, large-scale, amazing engineering and magical guide slowly ejects from a large building in the distance, marching majesticly and accelerating.

It’s a car, but it’s not a car that people can imagine. If the previous magic car is more reminiscent of “the car that doesn’t need a horse-drawn carriage”, then this thing is completely another concept. The product is gone.

It is made up of one and one section of steel cars, each of which is larger than the largest type of magical vehicle. They are connected one by one, for more than ten knots, just like some kind of big one. Steel giants on the ground;

At the forefront and the last end of this "steel giant", several compartments are closed, the white box is roughly rectangular, with neatly arranged windows on both sides, and sparkling runes and hidden machinery. The structural column is fixed on the steel plate between the windows, and the auxiliary structure such as metal bracket, magic crystal, lamp or the like can be seen on the roof;

The middle end of the "Steel Giant" is an open-ended carriage. They are also made of steel and have a dark gray and calm coating. The top opening is like a huge "box". Their style is obviously better than the front and rear ends. The carriages are more rugged, but they also have some kind of mechanical and industrial power. The lower half and both sides of the carriage can see the construction of heavy and reliable mechanical structures, and the numbering figures larger than people, smarter people. After seeing such a "box", it understood its role: it was obviously used to transport huge quantities of goods.

This is the "magic train" mentioned in the magic net broadcast ... can send thousands or thousands of tons of goods to the distance at one time, galloping in the "artificial behemoth" between the plains and the hills.

It rang the whistle again, the mechanical structure on both sides of the train worked together, adjusting the angle of the column that shines the rune, the humming sound of the magical operation and the hum of the mechanical structure bearing the great power, this "artificial The behemoth solemnly moves forward, continues to accelerate, and continues to accelerate...

It already carries a part of the technicians and workers, and the freight car is also loaded with a certain amount of materials. It will travel half-load to the mine town at the end of the journey at the end of the journey, where the mechanical structure is checked and After adjustment, the iron ore from the mine town will be filled with each of its boxes and shipped back to Cecil City.

The beautiful and elegant Principality of the Principality, Heidi Cecil, stood on a nearby high platform and watched with the technicians and officials of the government office that the steel behemoth gradually sailed into the distance, her face. The expression is solemn, but the bottom of the eye has a slight relief and relaxation.

It finally set off, a large project that united countless people's efforts and involved great energy finally achieved results, and she finally got a little relieved.

The sleek Nicholas egg always floats beside her. This huge metal ball makes a squeaking voice: "From here to the mine town is not very far, it will arrive soon and stay for a long time, most of the time Used to check the mechanical device and rune structure, check the status of each sensor and controller, and then fully load back."

Rebecca, as the highest person in charge of the magic energy technology department, is also on the scene. The girl is full of pride and smiles. She puts her hands on her hips and looks at the expression "I made great contributions today": "If running, I don’t think there will be any problems without any problems. After all, I have tested it more than 80 times in the origin laboratory. I can continue to spread the track of the mine town to the east and always connect with the city of Glan. The construction of the station has already started. After receiving the order, they will also start paving at the same time. They will orbit the east and west directions, merge the west and the Cecil line, and go east to the Baisha mining area..."

Rebecca’s words and deeds still have no aristocratic manners, but Herti’s mood is very good at this moment, and she does not intend to care. She just nodded slightly: “Everything will go well.”

From Cecil City to the mine town is not a long journey. Now the magic train is actually a trial run line. On the one hand, it is testing the train itself, on the other hand, it is also the test system. After passing, the train can enter the stage of official operation.

Once the official operation began, the first to open is the Cecil-Mine Town-Glan-Baisha route. The first to run on the track will also be freight trains. It will continuously return the ore from the Baisha Mine to the homeland to supplement the metal gap caused by the recent manufacture of chariots, the addition of factories and the expansion of the city. At the same time, the two gateways to the North Rock Fortress and the Western Region The artery line will also start as soon as possible.

Hetty looked at the train silhouette that had shrunk in the field of vision, and couldn't help but recall a dispute between her and her ancestors, as well as changes to the train plan after the dispute.

She denied that the ancestors had already decided on the train plan, and finally... re-installed the "wheels" for the magic train.

Yes, the final magical train produced by the stereotypes has wheels, and in order to fit the v-shaped track, there are three train wheels on the central axis, and the wheels at the bottom of the v-track are the "main wheel" or "support". Wheel" is used to provide the necessary support in the state of train stop or excessive load, while the wheels on both sides of the train have a certain inclination angle, perpendicular to the two slopes of the v-track, which is the "side wheel". Its function is to provide additional support to the car body on the one hand, and to enhance stability and ensure safety when the vehicle turns or encounters left and right shaking.

These wheels have no power, and the power of the train is still derived from the repulsion structure on both sides of the car body.

She knows that the ancestors and Rebecca jointly finalized the plan to be a fully suspended train, and she also admitted that such a train does have a more "magic beauty". It flies at low altitudes, sweeping through mountains and plains, swift, elegant, everywhere Embody the power of magic...

But it takes a lot of money and the load is very limited.

As a big executive who understands both technology and internal affairs, Heti not only understands the difficulties encountered in the development of Magic Power Train and the principles of the final solution, but also knows how to perform cost accounting. She knows that the idea of ​​using a repulsion mechanism to push the train is correct. This does solve the power problem, but in her opinion, the repulsion unit at the bottom of the track simply pushes the train up and causes the repulsion mechanism on both sides of the train to produce The power is enough to push the vehicle forward. It is enough that the entire vehicle is not suspended. The excellent wheels are enough to make up for the lack of suspension power, which is enough to reduce the friction and make the train go smoothly. It also makes the car body more stable and safe. More bigger.

More importantly, the wheels made of steel are much cheaper than the repulsive runes that spread the entire track.

Of course, this will bring additional mechanical structure, resulting in wheel wear (repulsive units are almost no need to consider the wear problem), but compared with the reduction of the repulsive runes on the track and the increase in the weight of the car, this cost Very cost-effective.

Fortunately, not surprisingly, the ancestors finally agreed to her transformation plan.

After rigorous calculations and trial and error, the magical trains finally finalized are balanced between “wheels” and “tracks”. It still retains about one-third of the orbital repulsive runes to reduce wheel pressure. The two-way relay pile can smoothly accelerate the vehicle, and the vehicle can be slightly suspended under the condition of no-load vehicle, which is convenient for empty vehicle maintenance, assembly and transportation, and the wheels have higher load and higher stability. Even if you are transporting huge amounts of cargo or disrupting the energy of the orbit, you don't have to worry about accidents.

As for the "repulsive column" for power supply on both sides of the train and the "relay pile" structure on both sides of the track, there is no change, and it is still the power source for the train to advance...

After some calculations, the overall cost of trains and tracks has been reduced by about one-third, and the load has increased a lot.

In Heti thinking about the balance between the cost and benefit of the magic train, thinking about its future development, Rebecca standing next to it quietly pondered.

In her view, the final train is actually a kind of special structure, huge-scale magic engine, which is still relying on the repulsion mechanism to promote the "rotor" movement, but its "rotor" is a A train traveling on a track that moves along a line instead of rotating in place...

This can also be seen as a "piston" that relies on relay advancement and extremely long strokes.

This specially designed "huge engine" cleverly solves the problem of insufficient power density of traditional engines, because it no longer needs to concentrate the power of the entire car in one front, but instead turns the entire vehicle and even the entire track into Part of the engine.

Perhaps this thing should be called "linear magic engine"? Following the third magic engine behind the piston engine and rotor engine?

In the days when the train departed and the historical wheels rushed forward, Miss Marquis’s thinking gradually spread out...
