Latest website: It is possible that you have never overturned the car, and your speed is not much faster than walking. It would be really weird if you could overturn the car!

But the safety that Xia Duo considers is not only whether the car will overturn, but also the safety of the steam engine. As for the consumption, it is second, let alone consuming 130 pounds of charcoal and 200 liters of water at a time, even if this number is doubled several times , he doesn't care.

If you want charcoal, the outside of the territory is full of forests, and you can build it casually. In fact, the wood produced by the development of the territory has not been consumed, and the water is even less valuable.

Inspired by the core component of the airship — [Endless Gas Cylinder], Xia Duo can completely make an endless water bottle, which is specially used to supply water to the steam car.

He doesn't care whether the steam car must be built and used by ordinary people, and whether it must not contain any magical elements, in fact, this is impossible.

Xia Duo could tell that the boiler on this car alone was not artificially made, but processed by alchemy circles. Other crankshafts, connecting rods, and pistons used to transmit power were all processed in this way. .

As for the magic element, in fact, the steam filled inside the boiler itself has a great attraction to the water element and the fire element. If the power is higher, magic aura may not appear.

In addition, if the power is high, the influence of element transmutation on the boiler material needs to be considered.

In the magic world, the influence of elements is everywhere, or magic is the most essential familiarity of this world, and nothing can escape.

Based on these realities, Xia Duo naturally didn't care about using magic to transform or improve this steam engine.

It's just that he hopes to improve the design and principle, not just the simple and crude "Li Da Flying Brick".

…

After getting off the car, Xia Duo went around the steam car again, pondered for a moment, and put forward his own opinions to Hero, and of course he also placed his expectations:

"First of all, there are two suggestions for improvement. One is the boiler. Now the boiler on this car is supported by the material itself, but I don't know where its limit is. My request is to test the pressure limit of the boiler and add Pressure indicating device, and additional pressure relief device.

"The second is the recovery of steam. The most direct reason why this steam engine needs to add so much water is that the steam at the end of the piston has run away. If the steam can be recovered into the boiler, it will not only save water, but also save energy. Lots of fuel."

Xia Duo didn't know much about steam engines, but he did understand boiler pressure relief and steam recovery. Of course, he didn't understand the specific design details, and he hadn't read any books on this before crossing.

But he believes that the wisdom of the working people, with the premise of relevant thinking, will definitely be able to think of a reasonable solution.

"Hero, would you like to join the Tower of Time?"

"Join the Tower of Time?"

Hiro was stunned for a moment. He thought it would be great to be able to join the Great Xia Territory and become an official leader. Recently, he was rushing to make up for related courses, but what he didn't expect was that such a poor apprentice like him would still have the opportunity to join the time. tower!

This-

"I am willing, I am willing!" Hiro shouted repeatedly without hesitation, for fear of missing a rare opportunity.

Xia Duo was also very happy to see Hiro doing so well. After a few words of advice, he turned his attention to Burleigh and Peter:

"You have done a good job, but as a magic affairs officer, you still have to focus more on promoting the civilization of the territory's magic."

"President, I—" Bo Li wanted to defend himself.

Xia Duo waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm not blaming you anymore, but I have a new task for you."

"President, please speak."

"I'm going to hold a steam locomotive design competition inside the Tower of Time. All members can participate, either alone or in a team. The winner can get the quota for the inheritance ceremony, the new laboratory of the Floating Void City, and the access to the Lingsi network , laboratory resource quota and other rewards."

This is not a whim of Xia Duo, but a similar idea when he was on the East Pole of the plane. Creating new extracurricular activities for the members of the Tower of Time, designing steam locomotives does not require much advanced magical attainments, only Know how to operate the alchemy circle.

The rest is mechanical design. Almost everyone has never dabbled in it. If you don't consider selecting talents for the future magic industry, it's not bad if it's just an extracurricular entertainment.

There is not much gap between middle-level mages and apprentices. It is a competition with a low threshold that everyone can participate in, and the rewards are very generous.

"You form a team with Hiero, of course you can also invite more people to form a team, limited to ten people, if you can achieve the top ten results, I will have additional rewards."

After Xia Duo finished speaking, Bo Li and Peter couldn't suppress the surprised expressions on their faces. They didn't expect that they could form a team with Hiro to participate in the competition. Wouldn't it be unfair to others?

Although Bo Li really wanted to reward him, he still raised an objection after thinking about it, "President, will it be unfair to others if we and Hero also participate?"

"There is indeed a little bit, but the impact is not as great as you think. If fairness must be emphasized, how can abilities and knowledge be absolutely the same?"

In fact, not to mention that Hero's little design experience will not be of much use, even if there is an absolute overwhelming advantage, Xia Duo is not prepared to change his mind.

On the one hand, this game is not so formal and has a heavy entertainment color. On the other hand, he also deliberately promotes Hiro.

Of course, it would be even better if there is a better mechanical design genius who can beat Hero.

Later, Xia Duo pointed to Hero again, "This steam car needs to be made a few more as a display sample for other contestants to demonstrate and study. In addition to participating in the competition, you also need to be responsible for answering other people's questions before the competition starts. "

"Yes." Shiro froze for a moment, then immediately agreed.

"very good!"

Xia Duo couldn't help showing a look of joy. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com happened to be that Daxia Territory and Savile Territory are preparing for the melting snow in early May, and Layton regards this event as a new festival here to do it.

The steam locomotive design competition might be a good appetizer before the festive dinner, and something that is prepared for the holidays can also be used in this competition.

It's just that there is less than half a month before May, and the time is a bit tight, but it doesn't matter, this kind of competition will be held every year in the future, and once you have experienced it, the next time will be much more exciting.

…

Soon, the Tower of Time, the No. 1 Spire, and the Floating Void City sounded the notice of the tower spirit—

"The first Steam Locomotive Design Competition of the Tower of Time is open for registration! Rich rewards are waiting for you! For details, please ask Tower Ling, keyword [Locomotive Design Competition]."
