The wizards present hurriedly recorded this new combination of magic, and then they realized that this so-called chemistry class was studying the nature of elements and the principles of magic, so as to develop new types of magic.
Albert was flipping through the chemistry book in his hand, looking at the descriptions of various elements on the pages, and was deeply shocked.
It seems that the [Mystical Society]'s understanding of the elements is far beyond their imagination. This is no longer just detailed, but a thorough study of all the characteristics of the elements.
What Albert didn't know was that Lin En took into account that the composition of the two worlds might not be the same and had not yet been confirmed by experiments, so he did not mark factors such as atomic weight, element period, electron configuration, and atomic structure.
The reason why Lin En opened this chemistry class was that he wanted to let these wizards help him verify things. After all, his research alone was too slow.
Just when Lin En was about to explain the other properties of the elements, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then the door of the classroom was opened.
Albert and the others looked over with displeasure. They were immersed in the great thought of exploring the essence of elements, but were interrupted by the sudden sound of the door opening.
Who on earth is so blind as to dare to disturb them at this time?
The person who rushed in was Lydia. The half-ling girl's face was filled with excitement and joy, and she shouted happily.
"Dean Lin, the internal combustion engine... We have already made the magic internal combustion engine!"
Chapter 205: The Debut of the Alchemical Internal Combustion Engine
Alchemical internal combustion engine? What is that?
Albert and others looked confused.
Lin En was also a little surprised. This was much faster than he had imagined.
"Professor Philip and the others are already preparing for the first experiment. If we go too late, we won't be able to see it!" Lydia's tone sounded extremely excited. She was sweating all over after running all the way here, and her cheeks were rosy, just like a ripe apple.
Lin En smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the wizards in the classroom. "Everyone, why not go and take a look together! It happens that this internal combustion engine uses hydrogen as fuel!"
Albert and others stood up and followed, and the group left the classroom in a mighty manner.
"Dean Lin, what is this alchemical internal combustion engine?" a wizard asked curiously. "Does it have anything to do with the steam engine of the Alchemy Association?"
"It's much more powerful than a steam engine..." Lydia said with great pride, and then added, fearing that the crowd would not understand how much more powerful it was, "At least ten times more powerful!"
Although this was the first formal experiment, they had started it up before to test whether it could function properly. The external gears were spinning so fast that she could hardly see clearly!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Lydia kept urging along the way, obviously not wanting to miss the debut of the internal combustion engine.
When they arrived in front of the alchemy workshop, a very tall and large carriage frame suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
It was obvious that this was modified from a horse-drawn carriage, but the wooden boards on all four sides of the carriage had been removed, leaving only a base, and there were two more wheels under the shaft in front for tying camels and horses.
In addition, there is an "iron box" more than one meter high on the base, which is firmly embedded in the back half of the base. After Lydia's introduction, Albert finally understood that this is the so-called alchemical internal combustion engine.
At this moment, a group of alchemists were arguing about who should drive the alchemical four-wheeler. Just like when Lydia drove the airship into the sky before, this was also a moment destined to go down in history.
"Okay, stop arguing. I think this opportunity should belong to Dean Lin En..." Philip stopped the quarrel and looked solemnly at Lin En and others who were walking over.
The alchemists present immediately shut up.
Indeed, the key to their ability to make the alchemical internal combustion engine was the drawings given by Lin En.
However, Lynn took a look at the crude four-wheel vehicle, especially the gears, chain and brake levers. He was worried that it might lose control or fall apart, so he coughed lightly and politely declined.
"No, I don't have any driving experience. Since this four-wheeled alchemical vehicle was made by all of you, you should decide the first driver by drawing lots or voting."
With Lynn's "humility", the alchemists quickly selected the first driver by drawing lots, and Philip was naturally the luckiest one.
Darren, Lydia and other halflings could only watch helplessly. Although they also participated in the production of the alchemy car, they did not dare to compete with these wizards for this honor.
The victorious Philip strode into the carriage. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even get a seat. But he didn't mind and placed his right hand directly on the alchemical steam engine.
Albert stared at it intently, very curious whether this thing was really ten times more powerful than a steam engine as Lydia said.
Also gathered in front of the alchemy workshop were thousands of students from Iyeta College. The black crowd lined up on both sides, leaving an aisle for people to walk through.
As magic power was continuously injected into it, the alchemical internal combustion engine began to operate. A large amount of magic power was quickly converted into a certain proportion of hydrogen and oxygen by the internal alchemical formation and directly transported into the cylinder.
Then the internal mixed elements vibrate rapidly and heat up until they are ignited. The huge driving force generated by the high-temperature and high-pressure gas drives the connecting rod and crankshaft below to rotate continuously through the piston.
A rumbling sound immediately came out of the iron box, like the roar of a wild beast...
Under the gazes of the crowd, the two wheels at the rear began to rotate spontaneously under the connection of chains and gears, driving the alchemical four-wheeled vehicle to gallop away...
"It moved, it really moved!" Darren and others shouted excitedly. Although they had expected it, they still couldn't hide their joy when they actually saw this scene.
"So fast!"
Peirce and others who were gathered on both sides of the road only felt a gust of wind, and Philip drove the four-wheel vehicle past them almost with a whoosh, like a flying arrow!
No, Peirce thought it would be even faster than that!
But they soon discovered that the car seemed to be getting faster and faster!
Philip, who was in the carriage, felt it even more deeply. Everything around him was rapidly moving away from him. The destination he had marked before was also passed in the blink of an eye. The huge wind resistance forced him to squint his eyes.
Too fast...too fast!
Philip's legs were shaking, and he even had the illusion that he was about to fly!
However, the feeling of speeding was very fascinating. Philip not only did not intend to slow down, but increased the output of magic power, wanting to test the limit of this thing...
The rotating wheels almost turned into an afterimage, leaving a long rut on the road.
The cylinder's bearing capacity soon reached its limit, but the gears broke before it!
At an ultra-high speed of several hundred revolutions per minute, the gears at the rear wheels used to transmit kinetic energy could not hold on and broke directly.
Click...
At first there was a slight muffled sound, followed by a chain reaction, and the flying gears soon caused the entire alchemy vehicle to lose control.
Philip was surprised to find that he was really flying, spinning in the air, and then crashing into the hard road. His body rolled on the ground for several circles and he was unable to stand up for a long time.
Everyone present was stunned and rushed forward to check the situation.
"Master Philip...are you okay?"
"Professor, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
With the help of everyone, Philip sat down with difficulty.
Thanks to the [Mage Shield] that he added to his body for protection at the last moment, although Philip looked dusty, fortunately he was not injured. He kept muttering to himself, "Too fast... too fast..."
Chapter 206: The first magic revolution is about to end before it even begins?
"What about the speed? Did you record it?" After Philip came to his senses, he asked hurriedly without caring about his embarrassed look.
"It's a total of 30 meters from the starting point to the end point, and it takes seconds." An alchemist saw the magic clock in his hand and said hesitantly.
As for the second half, the vehicle inexplicably lost control and fell apart, and Philip flew out directly, and he didn't have time to record it at all.
"The speed in the second half is about 90 kilometers per hour." Lin En said with emotion. He had already calculated it through the data from the intelligent brain.
Upon hearing this number, everyone present was shocked beyond words. This was no longer something that could be described as fast; it was simply flying!
"Is this the power of the alchemical internal combustion engine?" Albert murmured to himself. Even though their knowledge of alchemy was limited, they understood what such speed meant.
Orlando was even more shocked. As early as a week ago, he heard Lin En say that he wanted to make some weapons to deal with the upcoming war.
In fact, he didn't hold out much hope for this. After all, the time left for them was very limited, and war was no different from other things. Even if he produced some powerful alchemical equipment, it would be difficult to affect the war situation.
In comparison, he hoped that Lin En would focus all his energy on becoming a great wizard.
However, the extraordinary speed and power of the alchemical internal combustion engine brought great shock to Orlando.
He imagined a hundred such alchemical vehicles, covered in steel armor, charging across the battlefield, unstoppable. Just thinking about it made him excited...
After the initial excitement, Philip and others walked over to the overturned alchemical four-wheeler and checked it out, trying to find out what went wrong.
The broken gear caused the vehicle to lose control directly, and it also caused a chain reaction, resulting in serious damage to the four-wheeled vehicle. A group of alchemists soon started arguing and discussing.
"It's probably because there's something wrong with the cylinder you designed. The explosion of the hydrogen and oxygen mixture is too violent. I said before that the thickness of the steel should be increased."
After looking at it for a while, an alchemist found that the exterior of the internal combustion engine had been slightly deformed, and estimated that other internal parts were also severely damaged. He immediately suspected that the piston or tie rod might be broken, causing the vehicle to lose control.
The wizard next to him immediately jumped up and cursed. "You're talking nonsense! My cylinder is fine. I mixed the blood of the fire lion into the steel. There is absolutely no problem with its ability to withstand high temperatures! There must be something wrong with the gears and chains you made..."
"And the wheels, they're all crooked. Which idiot designed this? It says the material has to be resistant to compression, it has to be resistant to compression!"
There was constant discussion and argument, and no one was willing to admit that it was their own fault that caused the accident.
Lin En walked forward, carefully checked it, and said helplessly, "The strength of these materials is not up to standard."
With Yieta's current industrial standards, the strength of the steel produced is limited. This simple four-wheeled vehicle was forced to accelerate to 90 kilometers per hour, which was indeed beyond its ability to withstand and would inevitably fall apart.
"In addition, the wheel design is also problematic. The two front wheels should be smaller than the rear wheels to help with balance. We can also add a steering shaft and tie rod to the front wheels to give the car the ability to steer, as well as slow down and accelerate..." Lin En kept adding.
Philip and others quickly took out the design drawings and wrote down what Lynn said, especially the steering and speed control functions mentioned by the other party, which were exactly the topics they had been studying.
Lydia looked at Lin En with admiration as he spoke. From making airships to developing internal combustion engines to vehicle design, it seemed that there was nothing that the dean did not understand.
"In a few days, I will organize a few books related to fluid mechanics. They are all summarized by the masters in the [Secret Society]. If you have free time, read more. They will always be useful." Lin En said with lingering interest.
Philip and the others nodded, completely unaware of how terrifying the fluid mechanics that Lin En was talking about was...
"Dean Lin, is the hydrogen explosion that drives the internal combustion engine what you mentioned before?" Albert asked.
He was very puzzled as to how this internal combustion engine converted the explosion into power to drive the vehicle.
"Yes, what the internal combustion engine does is convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, and uses the principle of gas expansion when heated to generate propulsion..." Lin En explained the principles of the internal combustion engine to everyone present in as much detail as possible.
Under normal circumstances, this is definitely a key technology that needs to be kept secret, but Lin En has no intention of hiding it this time, because he is really short of manpower. Improving the alchemical internal combustion engine requires manpower, designing a new ironclad warship requires manpower, and researching gunpowder also requires manpower...
He wished he could split one person into two to use!
Anyone who can understand and comprehend it, no matter if he is a wizard apprentice or a formal wizard, or even just an ordinary person who can't do magic, will be immediately grabbed to do research for him, and treatment and status will not be a problem...
"Is this chemistry?" Albert nodded as if he understood something. Although he only understood the general idea, he could see how ingenious the design of the internal combustion engine was.
"No, it's chemistry plus physics!" Lynn said with a smile.
……
The experiment conducted in Yieta College spread throughout the entire Yieta Harbor the next day with the publicity of Magic Daily.
Everyone knows that under the leadership of the city lord, the wizards have developed an alchemical carriage with four wheels. Not only does it run as fast as the wind, it also does not need horses or camels to pull it and can move on its own.
