Chapter 1069

"I'll go out first and talk about it next time." McGonagall put the drawing behind the counter and walked towards the door.

The one who came to pick up MEG was the last one. They nodded slightly and got into the closed carriage.

"Landist... What kind of place is that? We don't know if we can find the information McGonagall is still thinking about Gina's previous words in the carriage. He can be sure that Gina is not lying, but he still has no idea how to help the mermaid out of trouble.

"Maybe you can ask Miss Hill." McGonagall thought to himself that the carriage went out of the city and drove for more than half an hour. Then it stopped. McGonagall went out of the door and stopped in front of the last cliff.

"Mr. McGonagall, please come in." The assistant said with a smile, a passage appeared on the cliff.

"Thank you." McGonagall nodded slightly and walked quickly into the passage.

After the passage, there is a very wide cave.

"Mr. McGonagall." Standing at the entrance of the mountain, Blair quickly stepped forward, took McGonagall's hand and said gratefully, "thank you very much for your time."

"You're welcome. Miss Hill told me that you've made magic changes to the steam engine. I'm also very interested, so I'd like to come and have a look. I can't talk about the guidance." MEG shook his head.

"This way, Mr. McGonagall, please." Blair took McGonagall deep into the cave and said: "we have some immature ideas, but there are problems in practical application, so we specially invite Mr. McGonagall to have a look. As the designer of the steam locomotive, you may be able to bring us new ideas. First of all, please take a look at our achievements these days. "

The interior of the cave has been cleared. A dark steam train is parked on the track. The iron and steel giant with sharp edges and corners is daunting under the fire.

The high chimney of the steam locomotive is particularly conspicuous. There are thick metal baffles on both sides of the car, and there are half meter long spines on the baffles, which looks like a hedgehog.

Compared with the semi-finished product last time, this version of the steam locomotive has a great impact.

"Considering the enemies and Warcraft that may appear along the way, we have added defense armor outside the steam locomotive to ensure that the steam locomotive will not be easily damaged." Blair explained.

"It's a good improvement." McGonagall nodded. Different from the earth, this world has fierce Warcraft. Although it increases the weight of the steam locomotive to a certain extent, it also brings safety.

"Mr. McGonagall, please follow me." Blair goes to the steam engine, gets inside, and McGonagall follows.

Blair opened the bottom of the car from the inside, pointed to an array drawn with complicated lines below, and said: "you see, this is an anti gravity magic array added to the bottom of the steam locomotive. This array is often used by street magicians to perform floatation. We want to use this array to make the steam locomotive achieve the effect of hanging in the air, So that the steam engine can run faster. "

"Anti gravity magic array? Isn't this the alien version of Maglev? "The magic train?" As soon as McGonagall's eyes brightened, such a high-end magic array only needed such a small array to complete. Five black stones inlaid at the node of the line should provide energy for the magic array.

From steam locomotive to maglev train, the great leap forward of ignoring the basic law of scientific and technological development made McGonagall pick his eyebrows.

"But we have encountered a very difficult problem in the actual application. The suspension array can really make the locomotive achieve the effect of suspension, but we can't make it continue to run safely on the track. As long as there are some deviations and curves in the track, the locomotive will derail and roll over. We have studied this problem for many days, but we still haven't found a solution." Blair looked up at McGonagall, scratched his head and said, "Mr. McGonagall, what's your opinion?"

McGonagall felt his chin and thought, "can I have a look at the train, please?"

"Of course." Blair turned and ordered the train to start.

MEG got out of the car and stood a little further away.

The starting speed of the steam locomotive is much faster than that of the last time. It should be that some improvements have been made in terms of starting.

The white water mist spurted out and the steam locomotive began to start.

At the same time, the anti gravity magic array also started. The second half of the steam locomotive seemed to be grasped by a giant hand and slowly lifted up. Except for the four wheels in the front of the locomotive, the wheels in the rear were almost suspended and separated from the rail, showing an overall tilt angle.

"Wu --"

With a long sound, the steam locomotive starts to drive forward, just like a train being carried by one hand. It runs forward briskly. The starting speed and moving speed are obviously much faster than the last test run, and much faster than the ordinary steam locomotive.

McGonagall's eyes showed a bit of thinking, looking at the moving steam locomotive with obvious shaking, he had a general idea in his heart.

There is a small curve in front of the track. Before passing the curve, the steam locomotive starts to slow down and passes through the curve at a very low speed. However, the body still tilts obviously and the tail shows signs of derailment.

However, the test driver should have summed up a lot of rollover experience. With the help of deceleration, he still succeeded in stabilizing the train and slowing down to a stop.

"Has the track been laid a lot?" McGonagall asked, looking at Blair.

"Yes, it's about a third done so far." Blair nodded, wondering why McGonagall suddenly asked.

"In this case, the track can't be changed any more. It can only be changed on the train." MEG nodded and went to the steam locomotive at the end of the track, saying, "please give me a pen and paper."

"All right." Blair took the pen and paper from his assistant and quickly followed.

McGonagall first walked around the steam locomotive, checked the wear condition of the four wheels in front of the track, and then carefully inquired about the parameters of the steam locomotive. Taking the pen and paper in Blair's hand, McGonagall began to draw sketches and calculations on the paper.

"It's said that he is a cook. Do you really know design?"

"He designed this steam locomotive. Do you think people understand it?"

"But if you look around like this, can you really solve the problem that the train can't turn? We studied all night and thought of so many ways, but we couldn't solve them. "

While other engineers were watching, others could not help muttering in a low voice, with some doubts.

McGonagall listened to the murmurs of the engineers, but he just picked his eyebrows and didn't respond.

"Judging from the current situation, I have drawn all the areas that I think can be improved. You can take a look at them as a reference."

About ten minutes later, McGonagall stopped writing, handed three sketches directly to Blair, then looked at his watch and said with a smile, "I'm going back to cooking."
