Chapter 560 Scheme
In the lord's mansion in Cecil City, Gao Wen looked at Rebecca who was excited to find him in surprise, and looked at the pile of sketches and messy plans brought by the other party: "Your...new plan for the train?"
"Yes, yes!" Rebecca excitedly put the pile of things in front of his ancestors, "Look at you, see, the first simulation test has been successful! These are all related information!!"
Because of the implementation of immersion cabin technology, the human brain can be connected to the magic net device. Now, after the researchers conducted experiments in the "Origin Laboratory", the relevant data can be directly sorted into data and printed by a printing press directly connected to the immersion cabin. Therefore, Rebecca sorted out such a large amount of data in a very short time. Then she revised the data based on her own ideas and took the things over excitedly.
Gao Wen only took a look at the sketch at the top of the information and realized that this was really a brand new solution.
He could hardly recognize the other structures except for the carriage and it was a carriage.
Even the wheels are gone...
"Is this...repulsive structure?" Gao Wen was attracted by the wonderful sketch. He immediately turned on the detailed instructions below, and the more he looked, the more surprised he was. "You directly canceled the engine... pushed the entire train over the track? Use a repulsive generator that can adjust the direction to move forward and backward?! Energy...most of the energy is on the track?!"
"Yes," Rebecca said with a proud look, "the mechanical structure is unprecedentedly simple, the load is borne by the entire track system, with extremely high stability, and damage to a single repulsive point will not affect the train's driving... Of course, this is just a preliminary plan, and it will definitely be adjusted when applying it."
Rebecca talked about the advantages of the new ideas one by one, while Gao Wen was completely immersed in this plan beyond his initial conception.
Rebecca and her technical team actually directly overturned the infrastructure of the original magic train. They canceled the engine, changed the energy, and turned the train... into a suspended one.
She designed a track with an approximately "v" shape, with the center of the track being sunken, and the two sides of the inner side are a series of repulsive points that open at dull angles. The chassis of the train is composed of neat and continuous steel "forced surfaces". The entire train relies on these repulsive structures to suspend in mid-air more than ten centimeters from the track, without contact with the track at all. At the same time, the special V-shaped track can initially ensure the stability of the suspension of the train and prevent the car from falling off the track during driving;
On both sides of the track, she set up a series of neatly arranged "relay piles", which are equilateral triangular metal or cement columns fixed vertically next to the track, and are of the same height as the suspended carriage. One edge of the relay pile is facing the direction of the train carriage; on the casing, a series of repulsive generators that can adjust the angle are vertically installed. These repulsive generators correspond to the relay piles next to the track. When they are facing rearward, the train will accelerate forward, and on the contrary, the train will slow down and brake, and may even reverse;
The "relay piles" on both sides of the track can not only allow the train to move forward, but also are also the second-heavy insurance train that prevents the train from getting out of the track. Whether it is moving forward or backward during the driving process, it will be subject to the reaction force of the relay piles on both sides. The closer it is to one side, the greater the reverse thrust force it will be, which can prevent the suspended carriage from "flying" out of the track;
In order to adjust the suspension height of the train during driving, she also set up a part of the extra repulsion unit at the bottom of the train. This part of the repulsion unit can be controlled separately to balance the load of each car. When the overall load of the train is too high and the bottom is at risk of sinking, or if the entire track system is unexpected, and most repulsion points suddenly fail, the train can also rely on its own repulsion unit to maintain suspension, or at least return to the track more smoothly;
“…quite…unexpectedly…unexpected…”
Gao Wen couldn't help but exclaim softly.
The plan of the suspended train reminded him of the "magnetic levitation" technology known in his previous life, but the two are essentially very different. At the same time, the forward momentum of the train in Rebecca's new plan reminded him of the magic crystal rail gun rail gun also used the same tilt repulsive rune to push the shell forward. However, in Rebecca's plan, the "track" is no longer the "track", but the repulsive unit that comes with the shell itself...
Seeing the ancestors showing a satisfied expression, Rebecca couldn't help but feel proud: "Because the thrust required for suspension comes from the track, adding more cars will also get more thrust. As long as the output limit of the unit track is not exceeded, the train can float stably. At the same time, because there are a large number of repulsive points working at the same time, even if some of the repulsive points suddenly fail, the train will only slightly reduce the height or speed at the top, without direct contact with the rails."
After a pause, she continued: "Based on the current power of the magic net and the interference threshold of the repulsive unit, I divided the tracks in units of ‘sections’. Each ‘section’ is about 1.32 kilometers long. There is a complete repulsive array in this section. The energy supply between each section is separately, and damage to one section will not affect the others. At the same time, about 30% of the repulsive unit is ‘safety margin’…
"The energy for the train is divided into two parts. One is the track area, which is used to suspend the carriage and the other is on the train to maintain progress. Because the energy is split and a more labor-saving power plan is used, the weight of the carriage itself is reduced, so the load of the carriage is much higher than the earliest plan..."
Gao Wen nodded slightly, listened carefully to Rebecca's explanation, and then reminded: "It is not easy to control the floating car."
"Of course, the carriages in suspended state should be more careful when turning and climbing hills," Rebecca nodded. Obviously she had thought about this. "Mr. Carmire often floated, which was what he reminded me. The carriage turns in the suspension scheme should be very smooth to prevent accidents of track contact or impacting relay piles due to inertia. Therefore, the train route cannot have so many and so urgent curves. Climbing hills is also the same. In order to prevent the bottom from touching the track, the slope must be limited. In addition, when turning and crossing the ramp, the train must slow down, and the density of relay piles on the corresponding ramp and curves must also be increased to provide sufficient power at the low speed of the train."
Gao Wen couldn't think of more questions for a moment, so he lowered his head and continued to look at this wonderful plan carefully.
The magic train suspended in the air... undoubtedly, this is very bold.
But bold does not mean that it is necessarily unsafe. As long as the technical means keep up, bold solutions are also highly practical, especially in this world where magical power exists.
And it's bold... that's just his personal sense. Ordinary people in this world probably don't think there is a difference between a train running on the track with wheels and a train floating in the air with magic. Isn't it normal for magic to fly around with magic?
As he watched, Gao Wen suddenly realized that the feasibility of this plan still depends on an important factor: the construction of magic networks in Cecil.
Compared with the original engine train, suspended trains have a big feature, that is, the energy required to maintain their float comes from the track.
This requires that there must be an uninterrupted magic net for energy supply throughout the train's route.
The energy of the engine train is all concentrated on the train, so it can drive on tracks without magic net coverage. The suspended train must travel within the magic net range, otherwise it will not float up because the Principality of Cecil continues to build magic nets. Because magic nets between several major cities have been connected, Rebecca's new solution can have practical value.
Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh softly: "Does infrastructure really determine the limit of development..."
Rebecca immediately put his face over and said, "Hey? What did you say, lord of the ancestor?"
"No, I'm just talking to myself," Gao Wen pressed Rebecca's forehead and pushed the other party back, and was a little curious, "But why did you suddenly think of this plan? This plan... can be said to have completely broken out of the previous framework, right?"
"Actually, this was not what I thought of at first. I was inspired by Daniel."
Gao Wen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Daniel, who had just contacted Cecil's technical team, would have such a big effect: "Daniel's inspiration?"
Rebecca immediately nodded repeatedly, and then told the whole process of getting inspired by Daniel.
A person who didn't know what a magic train was actually found the key to breaking the deadlock from an unthinkable perspective.
"There are limitations of thinking, the limitations of thinking," Gao Wen couldn't help but shake his head mockingly after hearing Rebecca's words, "I thought that if I had reflected on myself all day long, my thinking was really broad..."
Then he looked at the schematic diagram of the train track and his thoughts suddenly became active: "In your plan, the track itself is charged throughout the entire process, right?"
"Of course," Rebecca nodded. "Not only does it charge the entire process, but Master Carmier also set up a small magic net relay point in each section to monitor which section suddenly goes offline. After all, the train runs at high speed, and it is too dangerous to suddenly fall to the ground in the middle."
"Since the whole process is charged..." Gao Wen said, touching his chin, "That means, can you install a shield generator throughout the track? Will it bring too much extra load?"
"Shield generator? That's OK..." Rebecca was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Ah, are you worried that someone would steal metal parts on the track?"
Before Gao Wen could say anything, he heard a bb sound suddenly coming from the air beside him: "Who is interested in that thing! It's heavy and difficult to dismantle!"
...This goose has a very high professional sensitivity.
"No one talks about you again," Gao Wentou said without looking back, then looked at Rebecca, "It is on the one hand to prevent anyone from destroying the track, and on the other hand... to resist attacks from beasts, monsters, and even... distorts. It is not safe in the wilderness, isn't it?"
"I get it," Rebecca blinked, and his expression became serious. "I will verify this plan. Also, should we set up some explosives near the track..."
Gao Wen was furious: "Please take back this unreliable idea for me! Under normal circumstances, no one is overcrowded and they are blowing up their own railways!!"
While cursing, he was a little curious: Is this girl still a daily task to be scolded every day? Why doesn’t she not ask for a fight for a day?
Soon, Rebecca, who had completed his daily tasks, left the study room. In the huge room, only Gao Wen and a hidden amber were left.
As a shadow floated in the air, Amber's figure gradually emerged. She walked towards the stack of information on Gao Wen's desk, with a hint of sigh in her tone: "It's really amazing... The plan you proposed at first was equivalent to being completely rejected. Are you not sorry?"
"I just feel glad that someone can completely overturn my plan, and fortunately, Rebecca and other technicians will not go all the way to this thankless idea just because I proposed the original plan," Gao Wen shook his head, "This Daniel...is a talent."
"It's indeed a talent, so I was curious, how did such a talented person devote himself to you wholeheartedly?" Amber glanced at Gao Wen, his tone full of confusion.
Gao Wen smiled.
At first it may be awe, but then... that is the power of knowledge.
He shook his head: "The secret of the elderly."
Amber rolled her eyes secretly, saying that she wouldn't say anything if she didn't like to talk about it, but she wouldn't say it. She also had the secrets of the elderly. The fact that she had spent more than 80 princesses back then made people write books. What's the secret...
But given that she had really been photographed on the wall several times, she didn't dare to say what she was thinking.
Gao Wen didn't know how many thoughts that were worthy of being photographed on the wall had gone through Amber's mind. He just properly put away the information on the desk and then took out a carry-on object from his body.
A silver-white ring.
When Amber saw the ring, she asked curiously: "Hmm? What are you going to do?"
Chapter completed!
