Chapter 422 The Foursome

The chancellor was surrounded by three wizards and got into Rorschach's black and red car. The appearance of the vehicle attracted the attention of the master and the chancellor.

In order to avoid showing up, the chancellor got into the car first with his hat pressed down. Humboldt also curiously turned around. The large magic lights and windshield in the front and back were different from those of a carriage. The most important thing was that the shape reminded him of a beetle.

He was the last one to get in the car. Rorschach sat in the passenger seat. The chancellor had already naturally drawn the curtains in the back row and quietly pressed the leather chair to experience the elasticity of the seat.

"No horse? No construct?" Master Humboldt was very curious about Rorschach's car, looking left and right.

"The power source is in the front of the car."

Humboldt thought of the protruding space in front of the car cabin: "The construct is inside?"

No, why do you always think about bionics? Is there a puppet in the front of the car pedaling or running a hamster wheel? Rorschach revealed the principle without reservation: "The power source is a set of alchemy:

"The cylinder has a built-in magic array that can compress air and then release it to push the piston embedded in the cylinder.

"The piston drives the crank, converting its reciprocating motion into circular motion, and drives the wheel hub through the bearing. However, there is also a flywheel, which uses inertia to divide a part of the output to drive the system for the next cycle.

"The power source of the magic circle comes from the special alchemical potion, which is pumped in and out of the interlayer of the outer wall of the cylinder in a cycle to provide energy for the magic circle."

The principle that Rorschach said is basically copied from the internal combustion engine. After all, if you don't know the principles of these power machines, you can't be considered to have learned thermodynamics well, and if you don't learn thermodynamics well, you can't be considered a good chemical engineer.

But this "pneumatic engine" does not have the process of fuel gasification and deflagration, but is based on the magic circle of [Rorschach's air cannon], which compresses air in a very short moment. The [air cannon] itself is also a spell that is released instantly, which replaces deflagration. This is the method that Rorschach has found to create the maximum torque at present, and it can avoid the harsh working conditions of the combustion chamber, and the requirements for process and materials are naturally lowered a lot.

Other spells that can output kinetic energy, either Too strong, the steel components can't withstand long-term impact, or the instantaneous power is insufficient, and the torque and peak power provided to the car do not meet the requirements.

The pneumatic engine "burns" not oil, but a special alchemical potion - the "slurry" obtained after the high-concentration cultivated living water bacteria die. After being completely inactivated, the transmutation dust powder is immediately put into it, melted and stirred evenly to obtain a relatively thick blue-purple pearlescent liquid. As the contained magic power is released, the viscosity will gradually decrease.

Of course, no matter how low the process standard is, there are limitations. For example, the pneumatic engine polished by Gaopo Precision Factory now has a maximum of only 13 horsepower for two cylinders. If the material is piled up, the slight difference in the stroke of each cylinder will be exposed, and the entire system cannot operate stably.

In general, this thing can be called a "pneumatic car", with air as the medium, which is very environmentally friendly.

Rorschach introduced a lot of things in the co-pilot seat, and Master Humboldt beside him was silent, nodded, and then smiled: "Okay, most of it. I didn't understand. "

Otto rarely heard two wizards (who treated the prime minister of the empire as if he were nothing) talking. He listened silently, feeling awe. However, he did not expect that the great wizard could not understand what the junior was mumbling, and he did not expect that the great wizard would admit this point very frankly. The different styles of wizards and politicians always gave the prime minister a small shock.

He took out his pocket watch to check the time and coughed in the back seat: "Sorry, gentlemen. I have an appointment with His Majesty Albert. Can you take me to the palace?"

Humboldt nodded: "As you wish, sir." Then he turned his head and asked Rorschach: "Why is the car not moving? Where is the coachman?"

"You are sitting in the driver's seat, and you have locked the driver outside." Outside, Andre knocked on the door until his hands were numb. He kept using [Communication] to call Rorschach, hoping that he would remind Master Humboldt to change seats.

Humboldt nodded again: "I see. "Then he got out of the car slowly, walked around half a circle and sat in the back seat.

Is it because he has practiced natural magic for a long time, and has he either returned to his original nature or become a fool? Rorschach found that the "calmness" shown by Master Humboldt before can be understood from another perspective.

However, it cannot be ruled out that he did it on purpose. The evidence is that the master fumbled around as soon as he got in the car, and then held the steering wheel tightly, and entered the "driving posture" without any instruction. And even if the car windows were soundproofed, Humboldt would definitely hear when Andre knocked on the door and window.

Andre got in the car and complained to Rorschach using [Communication]: "Teacher Rorschach, you didn't remind the master."

"You can remind him yourself, double-layer glass is soundproof but not [Communication]. "

"I used it! But the master ignored me." Andre complained while driving: "I think the master must want to try driving, he is interested in this car."

"Yes, I am interested. "Humboldt suddenly joined the conversation of [Telepathy] and startled Andre. Rorschach had experienced this before, so he remained calm:

"I told you, [Telepathy] is not absolutely private."

Humboldt asked many more questions and got new terms such as "suspension" and "differential gear". However, he was most concerned about indicators such as horsepower and speed. Andre demonstrated and taught the master how to accelerate, turn and brake based on the actual road conditions.

Although the three mages were chatting enthusiastically using [Telepathy], our great Imperial Chancellor Mr. Otto could not hear anything. With the old man's degraded hearing, he felt that the carriage was too quiet.

Originally he should have remained silent, but thinking about his mission here, he coughed to break the "tranquility". The cough of the chancellor interrupted the heated conversation of the three wizards. Rorschach turned his head and looked sideways, Andre looked at the chancellor through the rearview mirror inside the car, and Humboldt raised his hand to release a small treatment.

The chancellor, who was illuminated by the green light, said: "Thank you, Alexander." Mr. Otto found that he was less capable of dealing with these spellcasters who were not in line with normal people's minds than the crown prince. The chancellor also chose to start with this strange vehicle: "Is this alchemical car expensive? Must it be operated by a wizard?"

"The driver does not need to know magic, and the driver of a horse-drawn or ox-drawn cart can also learn to drive it, sir. The price of the car will be reduced after the technology matures, but it needs alchemical potions to operate, which must be provided by us."

Chancellor Otto nodded: "That is worth promoting. Perhaps there will be nobles and rich people who pursue novelty and buy such an alchemical car."

"Ideally, every family in the country can own such a car for transportation." The Beetle belongs to the public!

The chancellor thought the young man was joking. Not every household in the city could afford to buy and maintain a carriage, let alone an alchemical vehicle: "Every household has a carriage. Master Rorschach, I find that you have the talent to be a senator and are good at constructing a beautiful vision for the people." The chancellor said with low EQ, thinking that someone was farting with his mouth in a closed carriage.

"You have good vision. But it is my friend who wants to be a senator of the Empire, not me."

Are there pro-empire people around Rorschach? Otto silently took note of the other party's casual remarks.

After the car arrived at the palace on the outskirts of the city, Otto got off the car. At this time, his secretary, guards and others were already looking forward to it at the gate of the palace. The chancellor gently shook Rorschach's hand for the second time: "I hope the journey can be longer for the first time. Master Rorschach, you are a very interesting young man, looking forward to seeing you again."

"I have a feeling it will be soon." Obviously, he had been investigated by the chancellor, and the old man came prepared.

"Yes." After saying that, the chancellor stepped on the red carpet and entered the palace gate of Byrne under the guards.

He got back into the car, and Humboldt followed him in. Rorschach was slightly surprised that the master just told him to drive to Kempson: "There are only grape fields nearby, go to your place."

The "gas car" started, and the indicator light showed that the magic concentration of the alchemical potion had reached a low point. Although driving does not require a magician, having a spellcaster in the car will bring a benefit:

Rorschach held the shift lever in the passenger seat, and the mithril alloy rod embedded in the lever directly pumped magic into the alchemical potion.

"Okay, teacher, if you charge it again, the cylinder will explode again." Andre reminded Rorschach to stop, and then restarted the car and drove to Kempson.
