“What about the speed? Did you get it down?” Philip, having come back to his senses, disregarded his disheveled appearance and hastily asked.

“It took 30 seconds to cover the 600 meters from start to finish,” an alchemist, looking at the magic clock in his hand, hesitantly added.

As for the second half, due to the sudden loss of control that caused the vehicle to fall apart, Philip was thrown out, and he hadn’t had the chance to record it.

“The speed for the latter half was roughly 90 kilometers per hour,” Lynn remarked with a sigh, having calculated it through the data in his smart brain.

Hearing this number, everyone present was indescribably astonished; it was not simply a matter of being fast—it was as if it was flying!

“Is this the power of the alchemical combustion engine?” Albert murmured to himself, and even with their limited understanding of alchemy, they knew what such speed signified.

Orlando was even more astounded; he had heard Lynn talk about creating some weapons for the upcoming war as early as a week ago.

In fact, he hadn’t held much hope for it, considering the very limited time they had left and the nature of war. Even if they were to create some powerful alchemy devices, influencing the tide of battle would be difficult.

Compared to that, he had hoped Lynn would focus all his efforts on advancing to a greater wizard.

However, the extraordinary speed and power of the alchemical combustion engine had given Orlando an immense shock.

He imagined the scene of a hundred such alchemy cars, clad in armor made of steel, rampaging through the battlefield, unstoppable, and the thought alone was thrilling…

After the initial excitement, Philip and the others walked over to the overturned alchemical vehicle, began examining it, and prepared to pinpoint the problem.

The previously shattered gear had caused the vehicle to lose control, triggering a chain reaction that resulted in severe damage to the vehicle, and the alchemists soon started to argue and debate.

“It’s most likely an issue with the cylinders you designed—the explosion from the hydrogen-oxygen mixture was too intense. I told you before that we should have increased the thickness of the steel,” one alchemist said after inspecting for a while, noticing a slight deformation on the exterior of the combustion engine. He suspected that other internal parts also suffered significant damage, and immediately wondered if a piston or connecting rod had broken, leading to the vehicle’s loss of control.

The Wizard Apprentice next to him immediately jumped up, cursing, “You’re talking nonsense, my cylinders were perfectly fine. I mixed fire lion’s blood into the steel, which can absolutely withstand high temperatures! It must be the gears and chains you made that had the issue…”

“And the wheels—they’re warped. Who is the idiot who designed them? I said the material needs to be pressure-resistant, pressure-resistant!”

The voices of discussion and argument were unending; nobody was willing to admit that their own mistake had caused the crash.

Lynn stepped forward, and after a thorough inspection, he said with resignation, “The strength of these materials is not up to standard.”

With the current industrial standards of Yiyeta Harbor, the strength of the steel produced was limited. Forcing this rudimentary vehicle to speed up to ninety kilometers per hour was indeed beyond its capacity, so it’s not surprising it fell apart.

“Furthermore, there’s an issue with the design of the wheels. The front two should be smaller than the rear ones, which would help with balance. We could also add a steering axle and a tie rod to the front wheels to give the car the ability to steer, and then there’s deceleration and acceleration…” Lynn continued to suggest improvements.

Philip and the others hastily took out the blueprints and noted down Lynn’s words, especially the mentioned steering and speed control functionalities, which were exactly the topics they had been researching.

Lydia looked at Lynn with adoration as he spoke eloquently about everything from crafting airships, to inventing internal combustion engines, to vehicle design—it seemed there was nothing the dean did not understand.

“In a few days, I’ll organize several books related to Fluid Mechanics, all summarized by the masters within the Secret Magic Society. Do take a look when you have time; they will always be of use,” Lynn continued with an air of passion.

Philip and the others nodded, oblivious to the terrifying complexity of the Fluid Mechanics Lynn was referring to…

“Dean Lynn, is the driving force of the internal combustion engine the hydrogen explosion you mentioned earlier?” Albert inquired,

He was puzzled as to how the internal combustion engine could transform an explosion into the driving force for a vehicle’s motion.

“Yes, the internal combustion engine transforms thermal energy into mechanical energy, using the principle that gases expand when heated to generate propulsion…” Lynn explained the internal combustion engine’s principle to the audience as detailed as possible.

Under normal circumstances, this would be considered a critical technology that necessitated secrecy, but Lynn had no intention of concealing it now because he was desperately short of hands. Improving the alchemy internal combustion engine needed manpower, designing new ironclad ships needed manpower, researching gunpowder also needed manpower…

He wished he could split one person into two to use!

Anyone who could understand, whether they were a Wizard Apprentice, a full-fledged Wizard, or even just a normal person who knew no magic, would immediately be snatched up for his research projects—treatment and status were not an issue…

“Is this chemistry?” asked Albert, nodding with a semblance of understanding, although he had grasped only the gist; he could still see how ingenious the design of the internal combustion engine was.

“No, this is chemistry plus physics!” Lynn said with a smile.

…

The experiment conducted at Yiyeta Academy the previous day spread throughout Yiyeta Harbor the next, thanks to the promotion by “Magic Daily”.

Everyone knew that under the City Lord’s leadership, the wizards had researched an alchemy car with four wheels, which not only moved as fast as the wind but also did not require horses or camels to pull it—it could move on its own.

The rumors soon became more and more outlandish. With the embellishments added by some students, aside from its speed, the alchemy car was also described as a powerful weapon. It was said to have launched Philip just like an alchemy cannon, possessing astonishing destructive power…

Such outrageous rumors made Philip incredibly embarrassed every time he was asked about it, and he didn’t know how to explain away the exaggerations.

This news, carried by merchant convoys along with copies of “Magic Daily” to Greenriel, quickly caused a huge sensation.

The extreme speed of ninety kilometers per hour and the rumor that the alchemy internal combustion engine was ten times more efficient than a steam engine were hard for people to believe.

Those most incredulous were naturally the wizards within the Alchemy Association who were dedicated to the study and improvement of steam engines.

The first magical revolution they were planning—was it going to end before it even began?
