Volume 19 Chapter 269 Problem Solving
Obviously, the current overcapacity of the Power of Faith collection tower and the lack of souls for transportation have become the biggest conflicts. Under the critical premise that the number of souls used for transportation cannot be solved, the only solution is to compress the transportation time.
"Hades."
"Have you thought of a solution?"
I nodded, and then asked: "Can you adjust the speed at which the power of faith is unloaded from the storage tank to be released instantly?"
Hades said with some confusion: "Of course there is no problem, I just wonder what the point is. Even if you speed up the uninstallation, you can only buy more than ten seconds. It is meaningless at all."
"No, no, no, this is of great significance." I said and took out a few pieces of paper and pens, and then asked two death guards to help me carry a shield as a table. Putting the pen and paper on the shield, I started drawing. In just a few minutes a new tank design was completed. "Let's see if you can change the storage tank to look like this?"
After taking over the drawings, Hades discovered that only the position of the power of faith outlet had been changed from the top to the side, and the structure of the exhaust valve had also been changed. However, both of these are peripheral structures, so they are very easy to modify.
"That's no problem, I can do it in a few minutes."
"That's great." I said directly: "Immediately change all four of our cans to this design. Remember to speed up the unloading speed to a state where they are all discharged within one second. Also, the size must be accurate. , the error should be as small as possible.”
"No problem." Hades said and picked up a storage tank and started changing it. While Hades was busy modifying the storage tank, I quickly left the underworld and ran to Essinger, and then I teleported directly to the Magic Crystal Power Laboratory in the New World. First, he took four small magic crystal power jet thrusters from the power laboratory, and then quickly ran to Steel City to customize a bunch of metal parts.
Thanks to the strong production capacity of our guild, everything I customized was completed in just over an hour. The next work is much simpler. First, transport all these metal parts to Essinger, and then ask the urban construction personnel from Essinger to help me install the support frames in those metal parts at designated locations in the city. After all these metal parts like street lamp poles were in place, I took out a custom-made steel bar that was a little thicker than a normal male's thumb and asked the construction workers to start installing these street lamps. This kind of steel bar is assumed on the rod-like thing.
Due to the large amount of work, the construction work took a full day. By the evening of the next day, I finally finished erecting both ends of those things.
"Is this...is this possible?" Looking at the super simple device in front of them, Hades and his men were all worried. Even Wei Na and Xing Huo had no confidence in me at all, and they all felt that my design was not reliable.
Although these guys don't have confidence in me, I am quite confident. "If you don't believe it, just wait and see. When it starts running, you will know how powerful it is."
In fact, the thing I designed does not have much technical content. You can completely understand it as a crazy roller coaster using rocket boosting. The metal parts like street light poles I ordered before are the brackets of the fan car track, and the thick steel bar that is slightly thicker than your thumb is the track. There are two main reasons why this track is not as thick as a real roller coaster track.
First, the load of my thing is relatively small. I designed this thing to transport storage tanks quickly, and a storage tank only weighs more than 200 kilograms, which is the weight of two fat people. Naturally, this double roller coaster does not need an exaggerated track to bear the weight like a real multi-person roller coaster.
Second, the track angle of my thing is not as exaggerated as a roller coaster. Real-life roller coasters are designed to allow tourists to experience huge load variables, so they are deliberately designed with scary tumbling tracks or giant loops. My thing is purely an aerial track for transportation. The angle of this track is naturally as smooth as possible. Even if there are turning parts, it will be completed with a larger arc as much as possible, so as not to generate too much load, so The track does not need to bear the extra gravity, so there is no need to be so thick.
Of course, compared with regular roller coasters, my thing is still somewhat different. The most important difference is that mine is rocket-powered, so it will definitely be faster, and this is exactly what we need. In addition, the track of my thing is not closed, but has an exit and an entrance. However, one entrance and exit is not on the underworld side and the other is on the divine power core side, but both are on the underworld side.
My design is actually like this. First, connect the storage tank to the Power of Faith output port of the collection tower and fill it with the Power of Faith. When one bottle is full, replace it with the second bottle, and the first bottle that is removed will be loaded into a rocket-like carrier. . The tail of this carrier is equipped with a rocket thruster powered by magic crystal. The middle part is empty and can just fit into the storage tank. The conical structure of its head acts as a fairing and can reduce the size of the vehicle. air resistance. Of course, the most important thing is that this thing has a set of bite-type flywheels with a rather complex structure, which can firmly fix it on the track while ensuring lubrication, and will not fly out due to too fast speed.
In addition to the structure of the vehicle itself, the storage tank was also modified accordingly to my requirements. Because the starting point and end point of the track I designed are both on the underworld side, the carrier will not slow down or stop at all when it passes through the core of divine power. Therefore, the process of unloading the power of faith must be completed in motion. It is definitely impossible for the divine power core to keep up with a rocket-assisted launch vehicle. So my design is like this.
When the carrier enters the room where the divine core is located, the track begins to turn, then circles around the divine core twice before leaving the divine core. There is a metal protrusion at the start of the orbit around the Divine Core, and a specially designed protrusion on the storage tank in the vehicle. This protrusion is connected to the valve switch. When the carrier passes through the starting point of the orbit at high speed, the protrusion will hit the special protrusion on the orbit to open the valve. At this time, the power of faith begins to leak, and because the orbit has been encircling the divine power The core is running, so this period is equivalent to inputting the power of faith into the core of divine power. Of course, this process is very fast. After all, the speed of the rocket is too fast. Even if it circles the core of divine power twice, it will not take more than one second, so I asked Hades to adjust the unloading speed to an instant release.
When the carrier completes its orbit, the power of faith in the storage tank it carries should be exhausted. Then it will fly back along the orbit away from the core of divine power, and finally reach the end of the orbit on the underworld side. I designed a safety plan here. The carrier flying back will derail and fly out due to the end of the track, and will be blocked after passing a certain distance. After that, Hades and the others only need to recover the carrier, dismantle the storage tank and refill it.
According to my calculations, it takes about three to four minutes for a vehicle with rocket thrusters to complete this lap, while it takes seven to eight minutes for those collection towers to fill a storage tank, which means that we actually only need Two jars are enough. Now we have four jars, which, if they are really functioning properly, would be not only a lot, but probably a little more.
"Okay, you all put your hearts back in your stomach. Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with this design. Okay, Radamantis, go get the filled storage tanks and let us test you on site. That’s it.”
Although Hades and the others still felt a bit unreliable, they finally compromised after my repeated insistence. Radamantis and Aeacus worked together to lift the storage tank filled with the power of faith above the custom-made carrier, and then aimed at the gap on the side of the carrier. The storage tank fell into the carrier with gravity. , followed by a click sound, the storage tank was positioned and locked by the special retainer. After testing that there was no shaking in the storage tank, Radamantis and Aeacus followed my instructions and lifted the carrier to the launch frame at the starting point of the orbit. Fasten the flywheel lock, and then Radamantis and the others step aside. I personally took out a small bottle that was a little thinner than the eye drops bottle and stuffed it into a gap on the carrier.
Seeing that I had installed all the liquefied magic crystals, Hades and the others could only step aside in fear and wait to see the results. But compared to their nervousness, I wasn't worried at all. I have calculated the track angles along the way and the changes in g-force that will occur. Even the stretch with the highest g-force must bear less than half of the rail's endurance limit. If there is still a problem with such a small amount of force, it will be really serious. Strange.
After installing the liquefied magic crystal, I immediately stepped aside, picked up a metal rod on the ground, pointed it at a switch on the carrier, and pressed it gently. I only heard a "chih-boom..." sound, accompanied by A ball of blue and white flames spurted out, and the carrier jumped out instantly. Almost in the blink of an eye, only a blue and white tail flame was still faintly visible.
As soon as our transmitter ignited, Hades and the others immediately gathered around a large crystal communicator nearby to watch. In order to know exactly what went wrong in the event that something went wrong, we used the large amount of remaining space in the fairing of the launch vehicle to install a crystal communicator with video communication capabilities so that we could see from a first-person perspective It’s time to move the carrier.
The carrier was fine when it first started, but when I squeezed in front of the crystal screen, I realized that Hades and the others were a little abnormal. After a second look, they seemed to have symptoms of dizziness and cold sweats. However, when I saw the screen in front of me, I finally understood why they all had such expressions.
The crystal communicator in the game is designed according to the three-dimensional movie method, which means that what this thing transmits back is a picture. Looking at it from where we are now, it feels like we are tied to the front of the carrier and flying with it. Although the masters present have all experienced the feeling of rapid flight, it was at high altitude. When there are no reference objects around, even if you fly at the speed of light, you won't feel how fast it is. However, this carrier is on a steel frame track and is up to five or six meters above the ground. Looking at the forest whizzing by around it, The characters and buildings, the feeling can be described in one word - dizzy.
"Damn, this speed... It seems that I can use this thing as a roller coaster when I have free time in the future."
"Wow..." As I was saying this, I suddenly heard a sound of vomiting coming from beside me. I turned around and saw that it was the guy Aeacus who had vomited.
I looked at him jokingly and said, "Aiacos, you can't do it! You look like you're so tall that you get carsick, you're really worthless!"
"Ugh..." Aeacus said as he vomited: "Whether you feel motion sick or not has nothing to do with your body shape, okay? I said vomit... wait until I finish vomiting first!"
While I was talking to Aeacus, the carrier had already run through the forest from the exit on the New Underworld side to the portal on Huangquan Road at lightning speed, and its speed was simply astonishingly fast. The ghosts along the way were startled by this thing whizzing by, but because it was obvious that this thing was running along the track, it did not cause panic.
After rushing to the Huangquan Road side like lightning, the carrier instantly plunged into the Huangquan Road portal, and then emerged from the other side with almost no time interval. The good thing about this space door is that it is always open. So our orbit can go directly through that door. If this is a teleportation array, it will be troublesome. Of course, I'm not afraid if it really is a teleportation array. At worst, I can install a blocker here to block the launcher, then shut down and teleport to the other side and use the second launcher to re-ignite it, but this will definitely be more troublesome. That’s it.
In the picture, the carrier passing through the Huangquan Road passage rushed out of the Huangquan Road passage room in the Essinger Underground City like lightning. Then the carrier followed the track close to the top of the passage and passed through the building directly into the underground city. Then the track rose. , pull it all the way up to the ceiling of the dungeon, and then move forward along the ceiling.
The reason why the track is designed on the roof is mainly because there are no pedestrians in this location, which avoids the possibility of hitting something halfway. Of course, since this track is completely open, people will still be hit if they get close. Of course, Essinger is our territory after all, and it is only a matter of words to control it and define a no-fly zone.
As we observed, the speed of the carrier in the picture became faster and faster. After quickly passing through the city of Essinger, it plunged into the Temple of Chaos and Order, and then followed the passage specially opened for it. After getting into the area where the core of divine power was located, the most critical moment arrived. With the sound of the bell, Hades and the others all trembled, which showed that the core of divine power was already transmitting energy to them. But because the release speed was very fast, they just shook it and it was over. As for the carrier, after passing through the area where the core of divine power was located, it flew back along another track on the original road.
"Okay, get ready." Seeing that the screen was approaching the underworld, I quickly signaled everyone to get ready. Almost as soon as we turned our eyes away from the display screen, we saw the carrier shooting from a distance, then derailed and hit the barrier. So far, the whole journey has gone smoothly, but just when we thought this thing was fine, it ripped open the blocker with a chirp and flew back. "Holy crap, I forgot to calculate the final speed of the carrier!"
