In 1769 James Watt invented the first modern steam engine.
In 1816, R. Stirling invented the first external combustion engine.
In 1867 Nicholas August Otto designed a new gas engine, and in 1878 he demonstrated the first practical four-stroke internal combustion engine.
In 1886 Carl Friedrich Benz invented the first practical automobile.
On December 18, 2022, Shen Cong invented the first totem engine (whether it is the first one in the world in the apocalypse remains to be seen).
And Shen Cong is also preparing for further research to make a totem engine that can be directly used in cars and meet the standards. The totem engine will replace the combustion power type engine of the old civilization and become a new source of power.
Strictly speaking, the totem engine is more like a biological engine, and the material used is the gold core grown on the golden beast.
In order to find suitable parameters, Shen Cong had to repeatedly experiment with the operating data of the totem engine and record the power function each time.
The relationship between totem quality, that is, the amount of activity and the repulsion speed; the relationship between the distance of the totem and the repulsion speed; the relationship between the diameter, size, shape and repulsion speed of the totem; the relationship between the totem usage efficiency and consumption; the maximum and minimum rotation speed of the totem energy consumption comparison.
This series of functional relationships will all involve the design parameters of the totem engine.
After all, the totem engine will wear out the gold core (active core), and it may need to be replaced with a new totem in a month or two to maintain the power and condition of the totem engine at its best.
"It requires a lot of time to study, and it will take at least a week from finalizing the specifications to putting it into use."
Twelve hours of the banyan yogurt stimulation experiment had passed. While Shen Cong was drinking the banyan yogurt desperately, he began to repeat the dual-core totem cross-cutting experiment and record the data.
He has a lot of patience for doing experiments.
In this way, a night of experiments passed, working until early morning, eating a midnight snack and going to bed.
…
The next morning, Shen Cong got up immediately and looked in the mirror to carefully observe the growth of his hair, teeth, and nails.
The results are amazing. Yesterday, he did not use banyan yogurt during the day and his growth was very slow. However, now, his hair, nails, and teeth are growing at a rapid rate.
The nails on his hands have grown to over two centimeters in length. The front end is the translucent and thin nail yesterday, and the back is the nail part that is almost like a normal nail but has a metal structure. Ordinary nail clippers cannot cut this nail.
"If I scratch someone with my nails, it should be no different than killing someone with a knife."
In the end, Shen Cong decided to lose his nails. He was not used to having long nails, which would affect his punching.
All the teeth in his mouth also popped out surprisingly. Although they were not as big as the original permanent teeth, they were very neat. The enamel was redistributed, and the teeth were as white as ever, eliminating the need for staining when they were shining silver.
"I can now bite metal with my teeth. I don't know how my digestion is. Can I try eating some gold cores some other time?"
Diamond ants can complete the transformation of their exoskeleton by eating metal. Shen Cong felt that if he ate more gold cores, he might be able to speed up the metal gradient of his body's bones.
Just think about it and expect how much support a metal skeleton can provide.
Nails and teeth have been replaced, and the hair has grown out. He has short hair of about one centimeter and is full of energy; his eyebrows have become dark, his eyelashes have grown out, and even his beard has suddenly become thicker.
The hair on my legs, under my armpits, and inside my crotch all grew out.
The characteristics of the hair are very strange. It feels like metal, but it is very soft, and the feel is not much different from ordinary hair. You can pull it with your hands without using a lot of force. It can be pulled continuously. It can be said that it far exceeds the strength and toughness of wire hair.
The brand new hair completely dispelled some of Shen Cong's previous strange concerns about wire hair.
"Although I'm no longer bald, I feel stronger!"
Shen Cong hung the sharkskin sandbag on the walkway, stood still, and suddenly punched it out.
boom!
Like a high-speed locomotive, with this punch, the sharkskin sandbag that was originally unbreakable exploded with a bang. The stuffing inside was scattered all over the place.
Suddenly, Shen Cong put on his semi-activated armor again and jumped out from the roof of the car in one stride.
There is no bouncing stilt installed, and it relies entirely on its own speed to run wildly on the ground. The wind whistled in his ears and dust flew under his feet. Shen Cong was like a phantom, whose movement was almost invisible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, he ran a distance of two kilometers back and forth.
Back in front of Donkey Kong, my face was neither red nor out of breath.
"My speed has exceeded 100 meters per second, right?" Shen Cong took off his dragon leather gloves and looked at the way his skin was congested and red due to the shaking of the high-speed running. He felt that he was definitely running faster than One hundred meters per second, not much slower than the speed of the fierce leopard.
However, unlike using the energy stored on the bouncing stick to accelerate, running by himself consumes a lot of physical energy. He can maintain this speed of 100 meters per second for at most five minutes.
Otherwise, the body will be paralyzed due to huge energy consumption, rapid rise in body temperature, and failure to dissipate heat in time.
Next, Shen Cong tried his best to test his reflexes, endurance, resistance to blows, hearing, vision, perception, etc.
In the end, I discovered that my physical fitness was almost one and a half times the maximum strength of twenty oxen before entering the lv1 era.
In other words, Shen Cong has now reached the terrifying state of thirty bulls of power.
After replacing the metal skeleton, he could kill his previous self with a full punch.
"If I were to fight a golden dragon now, even the intact golden dragon would probably be defeated by my iron fist!"
"Heavyweight, that's it!"
It has to be said that the support strength of the metal skeleton to the body has been greatly improved, allowing Shen Cong to exert the greatest strength in his body, opening up another shackle of potential.
"Of course, I still have to be careful when using my body. The metal skeleton is indeed powerful, but my muscles, skin, and organs are still flesh and blood. Before it turns into flesh metal, excessive use of extreme strength will cause harm to the body. Very big loss.”
The human body is a precise instrument that will transmit appropriate and safe usage limits to the brain.
But when necessary, such as a critical moment, adrenaline turns on, and miracles can indeed be achieved.
There is a news report that in order to rescue her son who was pinned by a car, a mother actually moved the car that required several adult men to lift it.
I don’t know whether this news is true or not, but adrenaline is indeed a key to unlocking the human body’s potential.
Just over-activating your potential will inevitably cause a lot of unbearable burdens on the body, resulting in strained muscles and tendons, and even fractures.
Shen Cong no longer needs to consider fractures, but muscle strains must be considered. Emergency stops, turns, and jumps all require consideration of the impact on organs.
"So, I now have the power of thirty oxen, which is 1.5 times of myself before. If I had the power of one and a half before, I now have the power of one and a half, but I can't use my one and a half at will. Prevent yourself from straining." (To be continued.)
