Chapter 359 Test drive armored vehicle
In the factory, Irving saw two military vehicles that were offline - wheeled armored vehicles and artillery tractors.
In order to enhance protection capabilities and facilitate soldiers to get off the vehicle to fight, wheeled armored vehicles adopt a front-mounted power plant solution.
The vehicle mainly serves as a transportation function and does not have heavy weapons such as small-caliber artillery, but it can be equipped with two machine guns as firepower output.
In this world, such armored vehicles have enough firepower.
In order to ensure its off-road capability and battlefield adaptability, the artillery tractor adopts a track-type design.
It looks a bit like a small truck, with strong carrying capacity and can carry gunners, ammunition and other tools while towing artillery.
It is not easy to transport artillery more conveniently in the future, and it is not easy to capture cities and villages.
Of course, Irving had no interest in invading other countries, and just wanted to complete the unification of the Morning Light Kingdom and then develop with peace of mind.
Unless any country has to attack the Kingdom of Morning Light for the sake of death, Irving will have to fight back.
If everyone else has called me, how can I not fight back?
After carefully checking the two cars, Owen nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, it's very good. The dwarf craftsman is really reassuring."
"What about our wine?" Tilion asked hurriedly.
The dwarves' stubbornness about wine is really fanatical, and they have reached the point where they can't enjoy drinking.
"Yes, yes, I understand." Owen made a promise to the dwarf craftsmen present, "When I go back later, I will send you twelve jars of wine."
“Eh?!”
After the wine was available, Tillion was still a little dissatisfied.
"His Majesty the King, we have worked so much to build these two cars and often stay up late to build cars. The wine you gave is only two more jars of wine than last time."
"Ouch! I feel like I'm losing a lot."
"His Majesty the King is so stingy."
“That’s it, that’s it.”
Other dwarf craftsmen also followed.
"Okay, OK."
It was really impossible to deal with these dwarf craftsmen. Irving shook his head helplessly and changed the number of rewards.
"Then I'll give you fifteen jars of wine, right?"
“It’s almost the same.”
After achieving his goal, Tillion agreed with satisfaction.
Other dwarf craftsmen were also immersed in the joy of having another drink tonight.
What a bunch of alcoholics, Irving was too lazy to talk about them, who made their skills really good?
Then, Owen turned to Geeta and instructed: "Since both cars are built, you can also come up with a production line plan as soon as possible to mass production."
"Yes, your Majesty." Geeta took on this difficult task.
The car manufacturing needs more parts than steam engines and machine tools, so he is now busy again.
"By the way, Your Majesty the King."
In addition to being happy, Tilion came over again and issued a request: "These two cars are made according to the standards used by humans. We are short and cannot drive, so we have not tested them yet. You are the designers of these two cars and must know how to operate them. Can you please drive them out and take a walk to us to see?"
There is a large piece of cement flat outside the car building, which is built to test the vehicle, and in the future, it can also provide driving training for selected drivers.
Driving? Irving had a hint of retreat from trying new things for the first time because he had no experience in driving a vehicle.
"Uh... the test is not needed. I believe that the quality of the cars made by your dwarf craftsmen will definitely pass."
Then, Owen asked for a booklet from Mapel and said, "I have this driving manual here. At that time, people will be arranged to come and learn the above operation methods and conduct driving training. If you want to see how the car runs, you can read it slowly at that time."
"Hey?!Why?" Tillion was puzzled, "His Majesty King, you have even written the driving manual. It should be easy to drive a car and walk around, right?"
"His Majesty the King, I want to sit in the car and feel it. Can you please drive me?"
The dwarf craftsman who designed the steam car before also began to beg Irving.
"Enough." Mapel stood up and tried to help Irving. "Your Majesty has his own plans if you don't want to drive. Don't be too arrogant."
Just when Irving was in a dilemma, the voice of the artificial intelligence steward Alpha sounded in his mind.
[Master, you can equip lava armor, then transfer control of the armor to me, and let me drive the vehicle for you.]
[This method is good! I'll leave it to you.] Owen immediately adopted this suggestion.
Alpha is really irresponsible, and Irving is relieved to leave it to her to drive.
"Okay, then." Owen changed his words and agreed, "I'll drive you one time to see."
He decided to test drive the armored vehicle and brought everyone to the car.
Before entering the car, Irving asked everyone to avoid it first, then equipped the lava armor on his body, and an orange light flashed across his eyes.
The dwarf craftsman was startled, and Tillion couldn't help but swear.
"I'll go! Your Majesty the King, what did you do suddenly transform? I was shocked."
"This is just in case."
Owen confessed to everyone: "Although I know how to drive, my driving skills are not very good. There is a small probability that an accident will occur when I drive later. If I equip the lava armor in advance, I can avoid injury."
"ACCIDENT?"
Hearing this, Jita couldn't help but feel a little worried and dissuaded: "Your Majesty, since there may be an accident, then forget it, don't drive the car."
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Irving opened the door on his own, then sat in the driver's seat and closed the door.
Through the car window, he looked at the dwarf craftsman outside who wanted to take the car and asked, "What? Why don't you get on the car?"
"Uh... that, forget it, I'll just watch you drive."
The dwarf craftsman was afraid of an accident.
In the end, only Mapel got into the car bravely and sat in the passenger seat.
The oil had been added in advance. Owen recalled the operation method in the driving manual and tried to start the vehicle by himself. The internal combustion engine started running smoothly.
【Alpha, I will leave it to you later.】
[Understand that Alpha is taking over control of the armor and successfully taking over!]
As soon as he took over the armor, Alpha controlled the armor to step on the accelerator, and the armored vehicle immediately started to move.
The moment the car moved, Mapel, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly shrank his heart and grabbed Irving's armored arm with his left hand.
It was the first time she took a bus, and she was obviously very scared, but her face was not very obvious.
