Chapter 596: Breaking Through One Hundred in Two Seconds, the Powerful Energy Stone Engine! Part 2

“So as soon as I figured it out, I went directly to Lu Kuan to see if I could put the energy stone on the car and convert the kinetic energy from the energy stone to drive the vehicle.

“I didn’t expect the results to be quite acceptable!”

After he finished speaking, Ai Jianfeng handed over a piece of paper that recorded the data of the entire vehicle after replacing the power stone engine.

Compared to before, Su Mo saw that the large arrow was in an upward trend immediately. This meant that the energy stone engine’s performance had surpassed the rotary tiller’s single-cylinder engine by a significant amount!

However, on the paper, the most interesting data was…

The traveling distance!

“How far could a small energy stone drive the vehicle? Wouldn’t it be not with it if the distance was short?”

The energy stone buried above the shelter could convert thousands of kW/h of electricity at its peak.

However, the fact that it was twice the size of this entire climbing car had to be taken into consideration!

For such a small device, according to the law of energy conservation, it would be strange if the previous energy level could still be maintained.

“Fortunately, the traveling distance is still acceptable!

“Because the energy in the energy stone is not electricity in our conventional sense, the key conversion loss is omitted, and the energy in the energy stone can be directly used for kinetic energy conversion.

“The energy stone you see now, depending on the complexity of the terrain and the slope, single battery life is about 40-60 minutes. You could achieve a battery life of about 120 kilometers if you traveled on a flat road without obstacles.”

Ai Jianfeng took out another experiment data that had the precise mileage calculated.

The original plan was set by the two at the beginning of the designing process. The volume and weight had to be prioritized under the premise of considering the battery life.

“Oh? That’s a lot!” Su Mo was surprised as he flipped through the data analysis of the battery life and was overjoyed.

The data showed 40 to 60 minutes of mountain endurance and 120 kilometers of flat land endurance. Its mileage was not much in the era of civilization.

After all, an electric car that costs tens of thousands of dollars could travel anywhere between 300 to 500 kilometers, and 120 was really nothing compared to it.

However, unlike those electric cars, the climbing car in the basin was like an old mobile device.

Its battery could be changed!

Su Mo pressed the button on the side of the engine, and with a bang, the top cover of the engine popped up, revealing the six energy stones stored inside.

Due to the previous extensive tests, four out of six energy stones were already burnt which meant that the energy had been completely depleted.

The other two pieces remained white and could still power up the climbing car.

“Two more?

“Let me personally test out this car!”

Su Mo was excited to be able to try it out himself!

Lu Kuan and Ai Jianfeng naturally did not intend to stop him. They just smiled and helped push the car outdoors while explaining the essentials of operating the car.

The car-machine system was almost an artificial intelligence and was very powerful.

The user would only need to control the direction, accelerator, and brake, whereas the logical climbing prediction system would do automated driving assistance in the car.

Moments later, the entire iron-framed structure of the car was pushed out of the workshop.

Su Mo immediately hopped into the car and turned the key in front of him to power up the car.

Vroom!

Vroom!

Unlike the dynamism of the fuel engine when it started, the sounds produced by the energy stone engine were not really loud.

There was almost no sound after the car trembled for a while in the beginning.

Su Mo would not have noticed that the car had already been powered up if not for the small screen in front of him that turned on to indicate that the assisted driving system was activated.

He stepped on the accelerator tentatively like how he would on an ordinary fuel-powered vehicle.

VROOM!

The powerful torque blared from the engine and then quickly transmitted to the four axles of the climbing car, setting off a powerful force that made the entire car body jerk forward.

In just an instant, the number on the car’s speedometer soared to 47.

Seconds later, it broke through the 100 mark with incredible speed bringing the gravitational force that forced people to lean in their chairs.

“Goodness! What kind of momentum is this?! It broke through 100 in two seconds?”

Su Mo was surprised.

Although there was complex terrain in the wasteland and speed did not represent anything on such roads, considering that the engine was composed of energy stones, it had extraordinary significance!

He let go of the accelerator and waited until the speed returned to 40.

Su Mo began to drive the climbing car around the open space and slowly familiarized himself with the driving assistance of the car.

The instantaneous burst of power from the energy stone was much more efficient than that of a gasoline engine and even much faster than that of an electric car.

The linear throttle was able to keep up with the force applied to the accelerator.

With the all-around driving assistance, between several high-speed turns, Su Mo even felt that he had become a professional racer.

A few moments later, after the energy of the last two power stones in the engine was exhausted, the entire vehicle stopped in front of the door.

Su Mo got out of the car and took a long breath.

“Well…”

“Two power stones, under my violent driving, could only last for 27 minutes!”

“It seems that we’ll need to carry about 40 energy stones to achieve a reciprocating cycle so that we don’t have a shortage of energy while traveling!”

Su Mo concluded and was overjoyed!

40 energy stones were not a lot and would weigh around 200 kilograms.

The all-terrain climbing car could achieve unlimited battery life with just a few energy stones!

It was totally worth it!

“Since the most difficult part can be resolved, there is no need to delay any further. Today we will melt the robot and make it into the car’s structure.

“For the energy-absorbing and shock-absorbing material inside, for the time being, we will use the absorbent gum left over from the ocean disaster.
