Chapter 713 The direction of the dwarf version of the car
"You want to move the workshop to the R&D center?"
In the evening, after dinner, Jermaine made this request.
"Yes, Mr. Ahanu made such an invitation, saying that he can help us build an independent studio within the scope of the center. Many of my research can also be carried out with the help of the center's resources, without having to earn my own money, or I have accepted your funding."
At this time, the other three dwarves nodded in unison, indicating that they all agreed.
Although the Silverbeard dwarves have had the experience of almost selling themselves out many times, as adults, who wants to be discouraged or criticized for their own decisions.
Besides, Lin himself doesn't like to have his life planned by others, especially starting with "I'm all for your own good." So he always warns himself not to treat others with this attitude. As for Jermaine's request, Lin just nodded and said, "If you think about it carefully, I have no objection. Will all the things be moved there?"
"Well, except for the peaceful weapons, the other items will be moved there with the second set. There will still be one set of tools left at home."
"Oh, the peaceful armed forces are kept?" Lin asked.
At this time, Jermaine rubbed his hands and said shyly: "I'm not very confident in the center's internal confidentiality measures. It's safer to leave it here. In addition, I have a question. Please give me some advice." Yeah, big brother."
"What's the problem? Let's talk about it."
"You see, now I have to go to the center to do things every day. Although they will send a car to pick me up, it is not convenient. I want to get a transportation car for the four of us, but as you know, the design of the car now is It's in line with you humans, but it's not very convenient for us dwarves. I just want to ask, do you have any good solutions?"
"Want to get a customized car that meets dwarven specifications?"
"I have thought about it. But it is too expensive and takes time. I was wondering if there is an easier and faster way to do it?"
"If it's simple, fast, and cheap, just take 732A and modify it. What's there to think about?" It's already a daily routine for someone and a silver-bearded dwarf to dismantle and assemble things and change things beyond recognition. Lin couldn't figure out why Jermaine didn't dare to do anything.
"I also thought about using the 732A model to modify it. The foot pads for getting on and off the vehicle can be solved, and the visibility problem can also be solved, but I can't think of any better solutions for the accelerator and brake. I have tried shrinking the steering wheel and improving the The position of the pedal, coupled with the gear lever, will make the entire driver's seat very crowded, making it easy for hands and feet to fight. Moreover, if the pedal is raised, the structure is not stable, it is easy to step on it crookedly or miss it, and the force is difficult to control. .Brother, you have many ideas, do you have any good opinions in this regard?"
"It would be nice to use a new device to replace the pedal. As long as this is solved, other gear shifting, steering wheel and controls should not be a problem."
"New device? What kind of device?" Jermaine asked with concern.
"Make an extra grip on the steering wheel to control the clutch. And at the position where the turn signal is controlled, you can make a thicker grip to replace the accelerator and brake. Pressing down is equivalent to stepping on the accelerator. , pushing forward is equivalent to applying the brakes. I don’t need to teach you how to change it specifically. From the past to now, we are familiar with these modification operations, such as digging holes, pulling wires, and installing brackets.”
Modification is a trivial matter for the silver-bearded dwarf, and all Jermaine wants is an idea. But he asked in confusion: "Why press down to press the accelerator, and press forward to press the brake? Can it be reversed?"
Although anything is fine, Lin still thought about Jermaine's question and said: "Think about it, when an emergency occurs, for example, a cow rushes towards you, or you are about to hit it.
A wall. Subconsciously, will your hands push forward or press down? If you want to use the push rod device to replace the accelerator and brake, it makes sense to press the accelerator and push the brake forward. You
You never want your body to subconsciously accelerate for you when danger occurs."
"That's true." At this time, the younger silver-bearded dwarf lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked: "Brother, do you think it is possible for the center to manufacture a car specifically for dwarves in the future? I am
It refers to a mass-produced model, not a special car with only one or two units."
"Judging from the structure of the Homo sapiens race in Midland, there are quite a few groups with similar body shapes to dwarves. It is understandable to design a car suitable for such people to drive. But it is not really necessary to do this. It is decided by the market.
, we are not guessing here. To put it simply, the car has been built, but how many dwarves, goblins, and gnomes are willing to buy it and have the ability to pay for it? Besides, there is a mentality that you have to pay attention to. "
"what is that?"
Lin didn’t show off, and said directly: “It’s natural to play with big cars. In addition to the large internal space of big cars, the appearance of big cars also represents stability and gives people the feeling of being able to protect the people in the car more.
So under such a premise, would a small car designed to fully conform to the body shape of a dwarf be more popular, or a vehicle that may be a little difficult to operate, but has a body shape similar to that of other vehicles driven by humans, would be more popular?
"
Jermaine's eyes widened and he asked: "Would anyone think like this?"
"Let's talk about practicality. Unless they live in a world where the people around them are exactly the same size as themselves, then these dwarves are bound to have some friends who are normal people. So when this friend wants to give you a ride, the result is that he is obedient
, a car exclusive to dwarves! Then how is he going to sit in it? Is it enough to sit hunched over? Or do you have to chop off your hands and feet to fit a human into a dwarf car?"
"It sounds bad to say it this way. So, designing a car for dwarves is a wrong thing?"
"I wouldn't say it's a mistake. Maybe some dwarves just don't want to give rides to normal-sized people, and having a car they can't fit in is just a nice excuse."
"So, is this correct? Why do I feel like I'm getting more and more confused?"
Seeing Jermaine shaking his head, Lin smiled and said: "There is no right answer to this kind of thing. It is determined by the market and demand. Both of these can be cultivated. It depends on what attitude you want to use.
Face it."
When the four silver-bearded dwarves scratched their heads, Jermaine seemed to have remembered something and said: "By the way, big brother, about car No. 1. Mr. Ahanu asked me to convey that the car No. 1
The design project can now enter the second stage. He also wanted me to emphasize that since it is just a design assignment, irrelevant people should not be allowed to go to the center."
Was he scared to death by the Demon Prince?
Azad was hanging out in the automobile manufacturing and R&D center during this time, and he did not kill as much as anyone imagined. On the one hand, no one dared to provoke him, and on the other hand, because William Greco was there.
This white swordsman is like a lubricant, coordinating the communication between the demon prince and others very well. Although his character is also weird, it is still much better than Azad.
.
The original magic arrays of the vehicle are all inside the vehicle body. They connect the engine, energy center, magic stone power conversion array, etc., and are simply used to transmit power and convert the engine output into power. These functions are just to allow
For the vehicle to function properly, it must have a design.
As for the second phase of the design of the custom-made car, it is to make the car made of magic material and depict a magic circle that has nothing to do with the function of the 'vehicle' itself, turning it into a real magic prop. Previously, the agent of Mr. Kawei,
The magic that the old butler Aihanu asked to test - Savage Crash, is an offensive magic for custom-made cars.
The reason why Car No. 1 is designed to be faster than Car No. 2 and Car No. 3 is because the theme of this car is safety. It does not require extreme performance, but it requires an outrageous safety factor for the driver.
situation.
In other words, all the magic that will be imprinted on this car will also revolve around the theme of 'safety'. Then one or two offensive magics will be mixed in to achieve the point where offense and defense are integrated.
Once the magic circle is engraved, the customized car becomes a finished product that is difficult to change and modify. In order to allow the magic circle engraved on the car body to exert the greatest and most effective effects, the connections between different magic circles,
It was a subject that Midi had never been exposed to before the Tower of the New Great Sage.
This part is a job that no one can replace at this stage except Lin. That’s why Jermaine will pass the message for Ah Nu. Thinking of the old butler’s instructions, the silver-bearded dwarf said again: “Listen to Ah Nu.
Mr. Nu said that the relevant requirements have been stored in the central system and are on the second phase requirements list of Special Project No. 1. You can go and take a look first when you have time."
Many of the industrial functions designed by Lin cannot be separated from the first coffin system based on the purple-level magic stone. These things are placed in other magic stones. Although they can be taken to other places for display, they are only for display.
, other functions cannot be used. Therefore, in order to facilitate the magicians and craftsmen who join the automobile manufacturing and R&D center, Lin also established a similar system for the center.
It replicates 70% of the functions of the first coffin, but does not include the accumulated data of the first coffin. As the core of the central system, the purple-level magic stone was provided by Duke Kawei. As a great nobleman of the empire,
Once again it shocked someone's little heart.
In particular, the center occupies a vast area, and a purple transformation level as the core is not enough to cover the entire area. Therefore, Lin also designed some nodes, using slightly inferior magic stones as relays, to allow all magicians within the range to
They can all take advantage of the functions and computing power of the central system. The disadvantage is that each magician must have a magic stone as an operating system in order to use the central system.
In fact, a better way is to build an energy pool for a magic tower, which has a wider range of uses. However, the magician group has remained silent, or pretended to be stupid, about building energy pools in places other than magic towers.
.
At first, a certain time traveler wanted to break this professional barrier, but after getting to know more deeply, he gave up. While the magic tower uses the energy pool to gain semi-infinite power semi-permanently, it also suppresses energy in a sense.
The core of the pool. Because it is a very dangerous thing.
Think about it, on Earth, it is such a desperate act to build a nuclear power generator based on nuclear fission technology for temporary power supply.
