I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Chapter 444 Detonation Engine

'The only problem is...'

"How should we set the selection criteria for the contestants?" the secretary beside him asked softly.

The governor also remembered this and frowned slightly.

It is easy to hold an event. After all, no one can stop you if you want to give money. But the Intelligent Formula, or Super F1 event, is simply competing head-on with F1.

The tuning of F1 vehicles is actually not bad. It is very common for customized vehicles to have racing performance that exceeds that of mass-produced vehicles by several levels. According to test data in the laboratory, F1 cars can easily run at a speed of more than 600 kilometers.

But why is the speed limited to less than 250 kilometers?

First, there is no suitable track, and we do not want to build such a track.

A high-standard seasonal road cannot be built by simply pouring concrete. Driving on this kind of road will cause damage to the car, not to mention the maximum speed requirement of about 700 km/h and ensuring that there will be no minor problems with the road conditions.

A tiny damage caused by a crack may cause an irreparable accident to a vehicle traveling at high speed. It is more like sprinkling gold on the ground than building a racetrack.

Now that the speed is below 250 kilometers per hour, the pressure is much less. It also lowers the threshold for car companies to enter, so that the event will not become too unrealistic.

The second is fairness. Under 250 kilometers, ordinary people can drive normally after professional training even without any magic or racial characteristics, which relatively solves the problem of physical differences.

And they... set no speed limit from the start, plus the two-stage thruster design, the scene does look more exciting, but not to mention the cost of professional tracks, the choice of the drivers alone is a big problem.

Not setting an upper limit is a disguised upper limit, and the advantages of racial characteristics will be infinitely magnified. For example, a black dragon princess like Elsa will not be hurt even if her vehicle explodes, but it does not mean that other races can be the same.

Therefore, if this issue is not clarified, the event may be ruined before it even starts.

"This is indeed an issue that we should all sit together and discuss carefully before we can come up with a set of rules..."

"It's not that troublesome~" The gentle female voice attracted the governor's attention.

"Oh?"

The team leader who had assisted Aisha in the test adjusted her glasses and continued:

'In fact, as long as an age limit is added, all races will be converted into a universal age, with 14 years old and above to 30 years old as the professional age of formal racing drivers, and special races will be in the growth period and below.'

'Over 31 years old, those who have reached maturity in a particular race are no longer eligible for registration as a racer.'

"Well... this is a solution that is not really a solution."

The other world continent possesses various special abilities, plus the nourishment of magic elements and the power of faith. Generally speaking, there are children under 18 years old, young people aged 18-30, and middle-aged people aged 31-59, and then they begin to be divided into stages.

The prime period of strength breakthrough for people over 60 will continue to extend until the strength completely stops and then they begin to enter middle age and then old age.

If there is no breakthrough, it means you have entered middle age, because your physical fitness will begin to irreversibly weaken.

If the age is set below 30, then the problems of other races will not be a problem. Special races such as dragons, elves, demons, and vampires have very long childhood and growth periods, and their strength fluctuations are very low.

Basically, there is a fixed strength standard at each stage, and almost no one can exceed the limit.

For example, the 8th level is the physical limit of a young dragon in its infancy. After entering the growth period, it will remain at the 9th level, reach the quasi-saint level before maturity, and successfully cross the threshold to the saint level after maturity.

Generally speaking, during these two stages, their strength will not be too far behind that of humans and beastmen, and the mature stage is the stage where the long-lived species and ordinary races distance themselves from each other. The most intuitive manifestation of long life is that the time spent in each stage will be extended accordingly.

Their greatest advantage is that the transition of the peak curve of their life is smoother than that of races with ordinary lifespans, and the racial strength is maintained at a very balanced level throughout the years without major ups and downs.

Now let's focus on the event itself. Such age and stage restrictions are equivalent to limiting the drivers' rank to below level 9, while excluding the old level monsters with long experience. The fairness of the event can be basically guaranteed.

only...

Looking at Aisha who was constantly refreshing her speed after adapting to the vehicle on the track, the governor hesitated again. He pointed to the 450km on the speedometer and asked the team leader: "Can everyone run at this speed?"

The leader: "...you are joking."

On the track, approaching the longest straight track again, Aisha put her hand back on the thruster: "Test the effect of the second stage thruster."

[Understood, thruster mode activated, critical point countdown preparation. ]

As Elsa pushed the thrusters, the propulsion engine extended at the rear burst out with powerful power again, the dust jet port expanded to its maximum, a large amount of atomized dust exploded the moment it entered the cabin, and the entire car body shook slightly and suddenly began to accelerate.

【480--500--520...】

"Uh... I didn't expect that I could get the feeling of flying a fighter jet in a car..."

Elsa was pressed tightly against the seat, and the scenery around her began to become blurry, but her powerful dynamic vision still allowed her to see her surroundings clearly.

[580--600, 17-second thruster countdown is about to end. ]

【10--8--6-Thruster second stage started.】

【5...】

The dashboard flashed, and the final red five-second countdown appeared. At the same time, a series of slight explosions were heard in the rear thruster pipe. The high-speed jet from the tail nozzle suddenly became two circles thicker. A sudden crackling sound of friction was heard from the rear wheels of the car, and the speed of the high-speed car suddenly increased dramatically.

"The accelerating gravity is still increasing..."

【650--680--700】

'Buzz~'

A blurry red car shadow swept across the track, and the accumulated water on both sides of the road was blown into the air by the storm and turned into water mist.

The front suspension wrapped under the deflector was shaking violently, and suddenly a strange sound was heard in the high-frequency vibration.

'laugh! ’

A screw burst out from the suspension, hit the air intake of the car body and was sucked in.

【3--2--】

"Bang! Boom!"

In order to maintain absolute downforce and stabilize the body, the front of the body will be deformed into an integral fixed wing structure when the thrusters are turned on, causing serious heat accumulation.

At the maximum speed of the second-stage thruster, the entire vehicle was working under overload, and the screw sucked into the air intake became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

As soon as the governor finished speaking, a loud noise was heard in the venue and the crowd immediately exclaimed.

The rear end of the racing car that was flying close to the ground on the track suddenly exploded. The aerodynamic layout of the entire car was disrupted and it took off on the spot, spinning in the air and crashed into a crash barrier outside the track, exploding into pieces all over the sky.

Rescue vehicles that were on standby nearby quickly entered the site, surrounded the fire and sprayed fire extinguishing agents at the source of the fire.

After a while, Elsa crawled out of the sea of ​​fire in a panic and was supported by rescuers.

Not only the track, but even the audience seats in that area were covered in flames. The explosion was almost as large as a 250-pound aerial bomb. This was because the one-time second-stage propulsion was activated and there was not much energy left in the car...

"My grass!"

Elsa took off her helmet and cursed: "Fuck! Even if I crashed my phone, it wouldn't explode like this."

The Super F1 is powered by a magic engine, which is the previous crystal powder spraying engine working mode, rather than the current mainstream magic crystal electric propulsion. The magic crystal engine is characterized by smooth and stable energy supply, and the power fluctuation will not change.

The spraying of magic crystal powder liquid triggers high-pressure explosion and pushes up the working frequency of the cylinder lever, which is the same working logic as the gasoline engine oil pumping machine atomizing oil to trigger fuel explosion.

In the past, materials science and technology generally required that the cylinder material used for spraying magic crystal powder-liquid mixture was far less energy-efficient than using oil to make the engine, and was not suitable for large-scale mass production, so the route was sealed up.

Later, after the breakthrough of magic crystal energy technology, traditional fuel engines were replaced in line with the times and replaced with energy cores that were directly supplied with energy by magic transistors. This energy supply method was more stable and easier to replace and disassemble.

The speed of refueling is far slower than that of replacing crystals, and the energy content of magic crystals of the same volume is more than five times that of fuel oil, and the energy content of advanced crystals is far more than this number.

Now, due to the breakthrough in material technology, the powder spray engine has been put into operation again. Although the powder crystal engine that sprays magic dust is not as stable as the direct crystal supply, it has more possibilities because it does not have a constant energy supply.

As long as the engine structure and the air intake system can withstand it, the density of the dust can be adjusted at any time. Theoretically, as long as the distribution is reasonable, the engine can release the energy of the entire magic crystal after it is turned into dust in a short period of time, and burst out instantaneous kinetic energy far exceeding that of the magic crystal engine.

The thruster installed at the rear of the car is a further use of the detonation principle, similar to a miniature detonation ramjet engine,

Through the precise control of biological intelligence, continuous electric detonation causes the various mixed gases in the micro-engine to rotate and burn continuously, and the new air pressure and the old air pressure are accumulated and released in rotation to achieve the purpose of increasing the explosive speed in a short time.

In terms of speed, as long as the body structure of the racing car can hold up, it can reach a speed of over 800 km/h. If the ramjet is used at the maximum speed, it can even break the sound barrier on the ground.

The speed that Elsa reached just now, which was over 700 kilometers per hour, was nothing at all. It was far from the car's limit performance. But when it hits the wall at a speed of over 700 kilometers per hour, there is nothing that can stop it safely. The driver can only rely on his body to withstand it.

Not to mention the 800, 1000 km/h speed, this ground-based aircraft will be smashed to pieces wherever it hits. If the pressurized gas accumulated in the engine is not released, it will be a concentrated bomb, and there is no need for rescue at all...

Of course, those are just theoretical data on paper. In reality, we have to consider multiple factors such as weather, venue, personnel, vehicles, etc.

The governor who was inspecting from above had a terribly gloomy look on his face and put his hand over his heart.

The frightened personal secretary quickly supported him, took out two pills from his bag and stuffed them into his mouth.

"I...I'm fine..."

"Go and ask what's going on!!!"

Not to mention the small matter of losing face in front of so many officials, guests and wealthy people, the cost of this prototype verification vehicle was nearly 100 million yuan, and its loss alone was enough to make him furious.

Its existence is to serve as a forerunner and engineering sample, providing a reference for the upcoming car companies to manufacture supercars.

It integrates a large number of technological achievements of Astar State, many of which are cutting-edge technologies obtained from the aerospace sector.

New special materials that can withstand high speed, high pressure and high heat without deformation, the latest engine configuration, the best biological intelligence AI, the most sophisticated electronic control design, a unique propulsion accelerator, and a detonation engine.

With the accumulation of a large amount of technology, the lightweight of the body of the car must be ensured. The weight of the whole car is only 1.22 tons. In addition, there are all kinds of top-level tracks, parts processed by precision lathes, competition stadiums built in various cities, etc. The whole state has put in a lot of effort for this new event.

Otherwise, how could such a long-established industrial state possibly experience some financial strain?

Then he watched it explode...

After the explosion, only the blueprints were left. Car No. 2 is still in the factory and no one knows when it will roll off the production line.

Relying on PPT drawings to convince other car companies' fleets to join?

It’s beautiful to imagine!

So it was the car that was blown up? It was his hat and feather that was blown up!

As for the audience seats that were blown away, he didn't care at all, and neither did anyone else.

Not to mention that there will be magic circle defense in the official competition, even if there is no magic circle defense, it is normal. How can there be no deaths in watching racing?

After a period of investigation and retrospective query in the biological intelligence database, it was found that the engineer made an indescribable mistake during assembly.

A screw was tightened manually because the magic machine had just used up all its energy, and he didn't want to do it again.

He felt that he was strong enough and had tightened it sufficiently, so nothing would go wrong normally.

But what a coincidence is that just when the second stage thrusters were turned on and the entire vehicle was under extreme pressure from all aspects, this slight disharmony caused the vehicle system that had reached its limit to collapse instantly, and the chain reaction led to the current situation.

"You mean, there's something wrong with the racing project in Astal State?"

Medea, who was wearing plain glasses, looked at Anna standing in front of him and asked curiously: "Didn't you say everything was going well before?"

"A serious accident caused by human negligence has occurred. Although the engineer involved has received a lawyer's letter and is expected to be sentenced to at least 20 years, Governor Hal is still so angry that he can't sleep and has blisters on his mouth."

"Because the vehicle was damaged, everything had to be postponed until the second prototype was put online for retesting. According to the recalculated time plan, the project would be postponed for about two years due to the chain reaction."
