Chapter 242 Flying Lizard (2)
Chamu had heard about her companion's commission to make a carriage. She had recently become accustomed to Ye Kai's style of making and had a good eye for choosing materials. Although a bundle of skin might be useful, in her opinion, it was too flexible to bear a large weight.
"That's enough. You can find out how to use it yourself."
"Oh, really? Well, it's something you made, so it must be something special."
"Hey! There are so many. Fino can't handle it all by himself!"
"Don't be impatient! You are already using magic!"
Rock and stone bullets flew and shattered the heads of their prey, and then Tulio chopped off their heads with his sword.
“Wait! The belly is red! That’s a fire flying lizard! They tend to swarm in groups, not good!”
“Oh no.”
It was too late. The trees rustled and a large group of lizards flew out. The fire flying lizards were the same gray on the back as the flying lizards, but their belly skin was red.
“It’s so hot! What are they doing!”
They create thermal updrafts, fly around, and shoot small fireballs.

“Are you interested in this?”
This may be an accidental slip of the tongue. At the counter of the Adventurer's Guild, the receptionist saw a bunch of flying lizards and fire flying lizards' tails, and she couldn't help but say this.
"Sorry for the trouble. We are just passing through for some reason."
"Ah, I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry, even though you've helped us defeat so many of the targets..."
“It doesn’t matter. After all, we are bringing in jobs that don’t make money.”
A bitter expression appeared on Ye Kai's face, and she couldn't help but feel sorry.
Although this hunt was only an exhausting one, it provided enough materials for Ye Kai to need.
----------------
The group came back after noon, filled their stomachs, took a hot shower, wiped off the sweat, and then gathered in the room again.
Ye Kai took out a block of metal and fashioned a cylinder with a diameter of 12m (14.4cm) and a length of 14m (16.8cm). The top of the cylinder was closed, with protruding ears and holes to be fixed with rivets. These were made of stainless steel that he synthesized.
Next is a thick disc that is tangent to the inside of the previous cylinder. The disc has grooves cut around the perimeter to mount the rod. The rod also has ears at the end of the hole and can be fixed. The materials are the same.
The two parts are combined into a cylinder and piston set. The inside of the cylinder is polished to a gleaming shine.
Next is today's hunting trophy. Ye Kai took out the belly skin of the fire flying lizard and drained the moisture thoroughly. Then the skin began to harden and turned into an elastic material. It was deformed into a ring shape and then embedded in the groove of the disc. This became a gasket to maintain the sealing.
The piston was inserted into the cylinder, and when he pushed the rod in hard, the piston returned to its original position when he released his hand. The shim seemed to do its job.
"Ye Kai, could this be...?"
“Yes, it replaces the suspension straps. It is the structure that supports the gravity load from above.”
Ye Kai made a pneumatic buffer device, which not only softens the gravity load from above, but also reduces the impact.
In fact, when he came to this world before, he had tried to make this kind of air pressure buffer device. Ye Kai was also tired of the bumps in the carriage. But it didn't work at that time because he couldn't find the rubber material for the gasket.
Despite trying many materials, he finally gave up, but when he was making a teleporter, he thought of using the membrane of a flying lizard, and he kept the idea.
"Hmm, it feels soft and fluffy."
“It’s quite interesting.”
The women stood the cylinders upright on the floor, put their weight on them, and played with them.
“Is this also Mr. Ye Kai’s world tool?”
"Yes."
“It’s the same principle as a ball.”
This world also has balls as children's toys, but they are inflated by inflating the stomachs of monsters.
“Why is this the same as a ball?”
"That one uses the property of compressed air to return to its original shape. This device also uses compressed air. When the gas inside is compressed, it will automatically return to its original shape. Do you understand?"
"I see."
Actually, this explanation is reasonable.
"The answer is correct. Fino's insight is admirable. Can you continue to help?"
“What is Fino going to do?”
"I want you to use magic to create compressed air in the cylinder."
Ye Kai pulled out the piston and pointed inside. Then he asked to fill it with compressed air, insert the piston, deform the edge of the cylinder and create a thread. When a shape that is not easy to pull out is formed, the magic is lifted.
“It can be lifted now.”
“Okay, that will apply pressure and make it hard.”
“That’s it. Because the cabin box is used to hold multiple people, it must have a certain degree of hardness.”
“Yes, indeed.”
They again placed the cylinder on the floor and applied their weight, but this time it sank only slightly and rebounded strongly.
“That’s awesome. If I put it under the seat box, it wouldn’t wobble anymore.”
“That’s fine, though. I want to do something else.”
First, make another similar air pressure cushion.
“This time we’re going to make bearings.”
“The one you use on that reel?”
Chaim laughed. She laughed happily at the mention of fishing.
“Yes, because we are making something quite heavy, so the structure is a little different.”
"Come to think of it, Fino said that anything with the name 'car' could be used. Did you foresee this?"
“Impossible! That’s impossible.”
While Cham was teasing Fino, Ye Kai had already started working.
First, make the same outer and inner rings as when making ball bearings. However, this time the inner diameter of the inner ring is 8 meters (9.6 centimeters).
Next, a stainless steel round bar is made and cut at equal distances to make it of the same weight. Then a C-shaped gauge is taken out, the cut pieces are placed into it, and the final shaping is performed. The result is a metal cylindrical "ball".
The bearing this time is a cylindrical roller bearing. It is slightly less smooth than a ball bearing, but much more powerful in terms of load bearing because it bears linear rather than point loads.
“There are a lot of metal parts and the carriage can get pretty heavy.”
“It will be heavy. But because it’s going to fit this bearing, the pulling force should be small.”
"Yeah. The horses should be relieved now."
"Oh, yes. I forgot. It's easy to pull but hard to stop. No, no, I have to consider the brakes."
