Chapter 560 Scheme

Inside the Cecil City Lord's Mansion, Gawain looked at Rebecca, who rushed to find him with a surprised expression, and looked at the piles of sketches and scribbled plans brought by the other party: "Your... train new plan?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Rebecca excitedly put the pile of things in front of her ancestor, "Look at you - the first simulation test has been successful! These are all relevant materials!!"

Due to the realization of the immersion chamber technology, the human brain has been able to connect with the magic net device. Now after the researchers conduct experiments in the "Original Laboratory", the relevant information can be directly organized into data and connected directly to the immersion chamber by a computer , so Rebecca sorted out such a large amount of information in a very short period of time, and then she revised the information according to her own ideas, and she brought the things over so excitedly .

Gawain only glanced at the top sketches of those documents and realized that this was really a brand new solution.

The things depicted on it... except that the carriage is still a carriage, the other structures are basically unrecognizable.

Even the wheels are gone...

"This is... a repulsion structure?" Gawain was attracted by the wonderful sketch, he immediately opened the detailed description below, and the more he read, the more surprised, "You just canceled the engine... and pushed the entire train to the track. Up in the sky? Use a repulsive generator that can adjust the direction to move forward and backward?! Energy... Most of the energy is in orbit?!"

"Yes," Rebecca said with a smug look, "the mechanical structure is unprecedentedly simple, the load is borne by the entire track system, the stability is extremely high, and the damage of a single repulsion point will not affect the running of the train... Of course, this is just It is a preliminary plan, and it will definitely be adjusted when it is applied.”

Rebecca talked about the advantages of the new idea one by one, while Gawain was completely immersed in this plan that was beyond his original idea.

Rebecca and her technical team directly overturned the basic structure of the original magic energy train. They canceled the engine, magically changed the energy source, and turned the train... into a suspension.

She designed an approximate "V"-shaped track with a concave center and a series of repulsion points open at an obtuse angle on both sides of the track. The chassis of the train is composed of neat and continuous steel "stress surfaces". The whole train relies on these repulsive structures to be suspended in mid-air at a distance of more than ten centimeters from the track, and there is no need to contact the track at all. At the same time, the special V-shaped track can also preliminarily ensure the stability of the train's suspension and prevent the carriage from tipping off the track during running;

On both sides of the track, she set up a series of neatly arranged "relay piles", which are equilateral triangular metal or cement columns fixed vertically beside the track, and the height is the same as the suspended carriage.

An ridgeline of the relay pile is facing the direction of the train carriage; on the carriage shell, a series of repulsion generators with an adjustable angle are installed vertically. These repulsion generators correspond to the relay piles beside the track, when they face the rear When the train stops, the train will accelerate forward, otherwise, the train will slow down and stop, or even reverse;

The "relay piles" on both sides of the track not only allow the train to move forward, but also the second layer of insurance to prevent the train from falling off the track. No matter when the train moves forward or backward, it will be subjected to the reaction force of the relay piles on both sides, and the closer it is to one of them. side, the reverse thrust received will be greater, which can prevent the suspended carriage from "flying" out of the track;

In order to adjust the suspension height during the running of the train, she also set up a part of the extra repulsion unit at the bottom of the train. This part of the repulsion unit can be controlled independently to balance the load of each car. When the overall load of the train is too high, When there is a risk of sinking at the bottom, or an accident occurs in the entire track system, when most of the repulsion points suddenly fail, the train can also rely on its own repulsion unit to maintain suspension, or at least return to the track relatively smoothly;

"...quite...beyond my expectations..."

Gao Wen couldn't help but exclaimed softly.

The plan of the levitation train reminded him of the "maglev" technology he knew in his previous life, but the two were fundamentally different. At the same time, the forward power of the train in Rebecca's new plan reminded him of magic. Crystal Railgun - The railgun also uses the same inclined repulsion rune to push the projectile forward, but in Rebecca's plan, it is no longer the "rail" that generates the driving force, but the projectile (carriage) itself. The repulsion unit...

Seeing the satisfied expression of the ancestor, Rebecca couldn't help but feel proud: "Because the thrust required for suspension comes from the track, adding more carriages will also get more thrust, as long as it does not exceed the output per unit track. At the upper limit, the train can also float stably with additional carriages, and because there are a large number of repulsion points working at the same time, even if some of the repulsion points suddenly fail, the train will at most only slightly reduce the height or speed, and will not directly contact the track and be damaged.”

After a pause, she continued: "According to the current power of the magic net and the interference threshold of the repulsion unit, I have divided the orbit into 'sections', and each 'section' is approximately 1.32 kilometers in length. There is a complete set of repulsion force arrays in this section, the energy is supplied separately between each section, the damage of one section will not affect the others, and at the same time, about 30% of the repulsion force units in each section are 'safety margin'...

"The energy of the train is divided into two parts, one is the track area, which is used to suspend the carriage, and the other is on the train, which is used to maintain the progress, because the energy is split and a more labor-saving power scheme is used. The weight has been reduced again, so the load on the carriage is much higher than in the earliest plan..."

Gawain nodded slightly, listened carefully to every explanation of Rebecca, and then reminded: "It's not easy to control the suspended carriage."

"Of course, the car in the suspended state needs to be more careful when turning and climbing," Rebecca nodded, obviously she had thought about this, "Mr. Carmel often floats, he reminded me The turning of the car in the suspension scheme must be very gentle to prevent the accident of hitting the rail or hitting the relay pile due to inertia. Therefore, the train route cannot have so many sharp curves, and climbing is also true. In order to prevent the bottom from touching the rail, the slope must be Restrictions. In addition, the train must slow down when turning and passing the ramp, and the density of the relay piles on both sides of the corresponding ramp and curve must also be increased to provide sufficient power at low speed of the train.”

Gawain couldn't think of any more questions for a while, so he lowered his head and continued to look at this wonderful plan carefully.

A magical energy train suspended in mid-air... There is no doubt that this is very bold.

But being bold does not mean that it is necessarily unsafe. As long as the technical means keep up, bold solutions are also highly practical - especially in this world where magical power exists.

And it's bold... that's just his personal senses. Ordinary people in this world probably don't think there's any difference between a train running on wheels and a train floating in the air with magic - Master You can fly around with levitation, isn't it normal for magic to fly?

Looking at it, Gawain suddenly realized that the feasibility of this plan still depends on an important factor: the construction of the magic net in Cecil.

Compared with the original engine train, the floating train has a big feature, that is, the energy needed to keep it afloat comes from the track.

This requires that there must be an uninterrupted magic net power supply throughout the entire route of the train's operation.

The energy of the engine train is all concentrated on the car, so it can travel on the track without the magic net, and the suspended train must travel within the magic net, otherwise it will not float - precisely because of Cecil The Principality continued to build magic nets, and because the magic nets between several major cities had been connected, Rebecca's new plan could have practical value.

Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh softly: "Does infrastructure really determine the limit of development..."

Rebecca immediately brought her face close: "Hey? What did you say, Mr. Ancestor?"

"No, just talking to himself," Gawain pressed Rebecca's forehead and pushed the other party back, while being a little curious, "but how did you suddenly think of this plan? This plan... It can be said that it was completely before jumping out. frame, right?"

"Actually it wasn't my idea in the first place - I was inspired by Daniel."

Gao Wen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Daniel, who had just contacted Cecil's technical team and just learned about the magic energy train project, would have such a big effect: "Daniel's inspiration?"

Rebecca nodded again and again, and then explained the whole process of getting inspiration from Daniel before.

A person who never knew what a magic energy train was, actually found the key to breaking the game from an angle that no one thought of.

"Thinking is limited, thinking is limited," Gawain shook his head mockingly after hearing Rebecca's words, "I thought I was self-examined all day long, and my mind was really broadened..."

Then he looked at the schematic diagram of the train track, and his thoughts suddenly became active: "In your plan, the track itself is fully charged, right?"

"Of course," Rebecca nodded, "Not only is the whole process charged, but Master Carmel has also set up a small magic net relay point in each section to monitor which section is suddenly offline- After all, the train is running at high speed, and it is too dangerous to suddenly fall to the ground in the middle."

"Since it's fully charged..." Gawain said while rubbing his chin, "That is to say, can the shield generator be installed throughout the orbit? Will it bring too much extra load?"

"Shield generator? It's okay..." Rebecca was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Ah, are you worried that someone will steal the metal parts on the track?"

Before Gawain said a word, he heard a BB sound in the air next to him: "Who is interested in that thing! It's heavy and hard to dismantle!"

... This goose is quite professionally sensitive.

"No one told you," Gawain said without looking back, then looked at Rebecca, "Preventing someone from destroying the orbit is one aspect, and on the other hand... is to defend against beasts, monsters, and even... aberrations. attack. It's not safe in the wilderness, is it?"

"I see," Rebecca blinked, her face turned serious, "I'll go and verify this plan. Also, should we set up some explosives near the orbit..."

Gawain was suddenly furious: "You take this unreliable idea back for me! Under normal circumstances, no one would fry their own railways!!"

While scolding him, he was still a little curious: Is it still a daily task for this girl to be scolded every day? How come there is not a day without a fight...

Soon, Rebecca, who had completed the daily task (1/1), left the study. In the huge room, only Gawain and an invisible Amber were left for a while.

With a shadow floating in the air, Amber's figure gradually emerged, she walked to the pile of documents on the high-level book table, and sighed in her tone: "It's really amazing... The plan you proposed at first is equivalent to being completely rejected. No. No regrets?"

"I just feel fortunate, fortunately that someone can completely overturn my plan, and fortunately Rebecca and other technical staff will not go to the dark on this thankless idea just because I proposed the original plan, Gawain shook his head, "This Daniel...is a talent."

"It is indeed a talent, so I am curious, how does such a talented person give allegiance to you?" Amber glanced at Gawain, his tone full of puzzlement.

Gao Wen smiled.

At first it may be awe, then...that's the power of knowledge.

He shook his head: "The old man's secret."

Amber secretly rolled her eyes, thinking that if she doesn't like to say it, she won't say it. It's still the secret of the elderly. The story of soaking in more than 80 princesses was written into a book. What other secrets are there...

But in view of the experience of being photographed on the wall several times, she did not dare to say what she was thinking.

Gawain didn't know how many thoughts worthy of being photographed on the wall passed through Amber's mind, he just put away the information on the desk properly, and then took out an item from his body.

A silver-white ring.

Amber saw the ring and asked curiously, "Huh? What are you doing?"

Gawain rubbed the surface of the ring, and said unhurriedly: "The old man full of secrets needs to meet another person who may also be hiding secrets..."
