Chapter 254: Kawi: Look, the Elemental Car
Half a month later, one afternoon, Elhaisen came back from outside, walked past Kavi who was drawing and Harold who was reading a student's experimental report, came to the sofa, took the book under his arm and began to read.
Kavi waited for a while, and seeing that there was no movement from Elhaisen, he finally couldn't help but speak:
"Hey, how did you do on the test? Why didn't you say anything? Tell me whether it was good or bad."
Is this hopeless? Kavi thought with some worry.
Harold also put down the documents in his hand and looked over.
El Haisen: "Are you curious? If you want to satisfy your curiosity, you can pay more attention to the bulletin board next week."
"It's the same as not saying anything." Kavi whispered to himself.
"It seems that he did very well in the exam. We should prepare gifts in advance. What does Senior Elhaisen want? Two boxes of freeze-dried mushrooms?" Harold smiled and turned the page of the document in his hand.
"Hmm? Freeze-dried food also has mushroom flavor? Is it a new flavor? Wait... El Haisen has been chewing something in his mouth lately, making a 'crunching' sound. Could it be that?"
Kavi rested his chin on his hand as if thinking.
It’s over, Xumi BKing’s image has been completely ruined by me.
Harold coughed lightly and said, "The salty freeze-dried food tastes really good."
"Then don't eat too much - Harold, come and have a look at my new design." Kavi said, and then happily took a drawing in his hand and unfolded it.
The blueprint showed three views of the Elemental Car. Harold originally thought that the Elemental Car designed by Kawi would be the same as the "Old Man's Car" on Blue Star. After all, the tricycle designed by Kawi last year already had the prototype of the Old Man's Car.
But unexpectedly, Kavi completely abandoned the old design this time and designed the car to be slender. The doors open by rotating toward the sky, and the doors opening on both sides are like bat wings.
Hmm... unexpectedly fashionable, as if I have traveled from O God to DC in an instant, and the car model also looks more like a racing car, so if I were to write an autobiography in the future, the title should be "I am the Car God of Akina Mountain in Xumi"?
However, driving a racing car in the rainforest always feels a bit tricky, and it is definitely impossible to achieve on Blue Star. The chassis of the car designed by Senior Kawi is very low to the ground... I don’t know how he plans to solve the problem of chassis wear.
"It looks great, right? It took me half a year to design it!"
The two of them looked at the drawings without saying anything. Kavi felt that they were impressed by his drawings. He raised his head proudly and introduced them happily.
"Look at this blueprint again, the power system! I referred to Fontaine's ore elemental force extraction and conversion process to create a device that can directly convert elemental force into power.
At that time, Harold, you will sit in the driver's seat, put on the bracelet and anklet, and release the elemental force to charge the car."
As expected, I am the humanoid battery. Harold twitched his lips inwardly, and then he asked:
"Senior Kawi, why do you have to tie up all your limbs?"
It feels like it would be dangerous if the car rolled over, and it looks a bit like some kind of weird play.
"Oh! Well, this design is to share the load of the elemental force extraction device, and it can also increase the utilization rate of the elemental force you release.
There are still some problems with the current device. It can be used, but it is a test of the driver's elemental force control level.
In order for the car to quickly gain energy and maintain high-speed movement, you need to quickly condense the elemental force to your wrists and ankles, but at the same time, you also have to operate the steering wheel to control the direction.
Well... it's very difficult. If you are distracted, it may cause a traffic accident. So I am thinking about improvement plans.
I am considering changing the current cab into a power room, and making the windows around it with materials that can block the elemental force and prevent it from leaking out. Then you only need to release the elemental force inside to make the car gain power.
As for the driving direction problem…My solution to the direction problem is to add a seat next to the driver’s seat. In this way, one person is responsible for power and the other is responsible for adjusting the direction and speed, which can effectively solve the above problem. ”
Kavi used body language and gestures to demonstrate his ideas to the two.
This is quite different from what I imagined the elemental car to be, Harold thought to himself, still smiling and agreeing, praising Kawi's novel design ideas.
Kavi was even happier after receiving praise from his junior. He felt that he had an idea in an instant, so he quickly said:
"Also, maybe we can input elemental power before driving, so that we don't have to be distracted by elemental power while the car is driving, and it doesn't necessarily take two people to drive the car.
Hey... this method seems better! Why did I think of it only now? "
Kavi muttered to himself for a while, then held his chin and frowned, thinking and talking to himself:
"However, to realize this idea, we have to deal with the problem of elemental force storage. Direct storage is definitely not an option. There is no device on the market that can store such a large amount of elemental force at once. Moreover, it is also very dangerous to place high concentrations of elemental force in the car.
But if we convert it into another energy source and store it... what energy should we convert it into? And how should we store that energy?
Um... this seems to be a course of the Sulun School. I don’t know much about their research content. Maybe Senior Senor can give me some good suggestions after he comes back..."
"I think the second method is better." Haroldt said with a smile, "I think it is more feasible than the first method in practice."
And when Elhaisen becomes the chief secretary, he will be asked to help find the information left by the scholar named Alva Nicola.
He is the scholar who proposed the "Nikola Coil". Although it is rumored that his paper was eaten by mushroom beasts, Harold believes that there should be a backup in the Institute of the Decree. After all, he originally proposed the Nicola Coil to use it as a weapon, which is exactly what Xumi is currently scarce.
If Senior Kawi is interested in his research and can continue to study the materials he left behind,
This means that Xumi will most likely enter the electrical age within a dozen years, convenient equipment such as radio and telegraph will appear, and the research on elemental vehicles will also cross a technological gap.
And I have also evolved from a human battery to a human charger, Harold added silently in his heart.
"It's my opinion!" Kavi happily rolled up the blueprint. "Then let's research in that direction. When Senior Senor comes back, I'll discuss the issue of elemental power conversion with him."
"Is it decided? Our great designer designed the chassis of the car so low. He must have thought of how to solve the problems of getting stuck, getting soaked in rainy days, and scratching the chassis when climbing steep slopes." said Elhaisen.
"In terms of professionalism, Senior Kavi has always been very reliable." Harold said with a smile.
So how was it solved? Did they become Autobots when faced with these problems, or did they set up a suspension device? Either way I can live with it.
"Of course, do you need to tell me that? Senior, you are a professional! How could you not consider this aspect?"
Kavi quickly rolled up the drawing in his hand and tied it up, then spread out another drawing. "Look, my design can solve all problems!"
Harold looked over curiously. The drawing showed a three-view drawing of another model of car. This car had larger wheels, a higher chassis, and thicker bumpers, and the overall look was rugged and heroic.
Harold:?
Is it what I thought? It shouldn't be solved by changing the car, right?
"Senior Kawi means that the previous car can be transformed into this shape on special roads?" Harold asked. He wanted to struggle again.
"Transformation? Oh my God, Harold, how did you come up with this idea?" Kavi was shocked, his eyes rolled and he began to think about the feasibility of this plan.
"It seems a bit difficult. I will study it later. I originally designed two cars. You can drive that one when you are in Xumi City, and drive this one when you go to the desert or the woods.
This perfectly solves the problem of vehicle restrictions on different road sections.”
Harold twitched his lips in his heart: How thoughtful, senior. Now in Teyvat, we are also a family with two cars.
"In other words, the previous design is redundant. It abandons the functionality that a car should have purely for the sake of aesthetics." Elhaisen said.
"What are you talking about? How is it redundant?! Isn't it pretty? Isn't it handsome?!" Kavi shouted, "That's clearly the embodiment of my aesthetic! You don't understand my romance at all!"
