Chapter 330 - Ghost Car.
Yang Dao controlled the car to get inside the elevator. There was no malfunction at the moment. The boy said, "RALF, how are the stats look to you?"
A mechanical voice replied, "No problem this far master. Data is good."
Yang Dao nodded and the elevator had come to the floor below. Using the reverse button on the panel, the car moved back outside the elevator. Frieda asked, "What is the principle behind this car?"
"Elector magnetic induction," said Yang Dao.
Frieda asked a lot of questions like how the car could support itself up in the void. The boy patiently answered as he drove the car out. (I am not describing them here, as I do not want to be killed for revealing the top secret.)
The car floated 10 millimeters above the ground that was even lower than its original ground clearance. Yang Dao drove the car around the city and the people distanced themselves from it. They were scared to make a mistake and get in an accident with this car. This will be tantamount to selling their lives in compensation.
No one seemed to have noticed that the car had no tires and the voice was even more streamed than before. The black glint was enough to make the people give up any other thought. However, when Yang Dao was standing on the signal, a traffic police cop was keeping watch on the side.
He noticed a sleek and low sports car standing in the traffic and could not help but sigh in admiration. Just when his gaze was caressing the car he sensed that something was odd. He glanced over a couple of times more. Just when he was confused and scratching his head, he looked at the other cars parked beside the black Quinn.
His eyes widened and he rubbed them twice and thrice. Then he pinched himself to make sure that he was not dreaming. He could not help but grab his walkie-talkie and say, "Hello, Command center, this is Unit JTC776, please give me a check on the license plate number FYD01."
The other side did not reply at first, only after a few seconds, they said, "This car is registered under the name of Mr. Feng Yang Dao. What happened, unit JTC77. Everything fine?"
The people did not communicate with names but ID numbers to make sure that the communication is smooth and the zone is located easily by going through the online posting log.
The constable replied, "Command, this car does not have wheels and seems to be floating. I don't really know what to do."
The command Center found it odd, they quickly checked through the closed-circuit monitoring system to check the situation. They quickly spotted the anomaly. The people were all stunned. The lady who was in charge of operating the system was shocked and muttered, "Ghost Car."
The people all were attracted to her voice and when the followed her gaze to check the scene being displayed, they all became shocked. The superintendent watching over them was alerted by this sudden silence in the monitor room and asked them what was going on. The people told him what was going on.
The superintendent was surprised and after looking at the identity of the owner of the car he said, "Is this not the richest teenager of the country? Call the constable in charge, have him walk over the car and ask what is the matter."
The orders were relayed and the constable on duty suddenly cursed himself. He wished to strangle himself for alerting the command center. He cursed the superintendent for this order. He said, 'I am a constabel and not an exorcist. What richest guy, this is a ghost car.' obviously it was all in his heart.
He walked over to the car and his movements attracted the gazes of the other people standing at the red signal. The constable muttered prayers in his heart and raised his trembling hand and knocked the window twice.
Yang Dao had long noticed the cop moving toward him and lowered the window. He asked politely, "Officer, how can I help you?"
The constable flinched a little, his doubt became even stronger that this car was a ghost. How can a rich kid have such manners and polite voice. The voice gave him a sense of calm. He asked with hesitation.
"Can I see your driver's license and also, can you tell me what is this car?" asked the constable.
Yang Dao smiled and said, "This is a prototype I have just made. I need to test it on the road so took it out. We are heading to the Jade City University."
The constable, glanced at the License and the car again. He returned the license with both hands and said, "Please wait a moment I need to confirm something with the command center."
He took two steps to the side and relayed the account to the command center. The superintendent nodded and said, "It is okay, let them go."
He was aware of the price of the car this boy was using and just modified it into this prototype. One thought came to his mind was, "The rich are willful."
The constable nodded and let the guys pass. The signal turned and the car flew. On the empty roads, Yang Dao still increased the speed. It took them half an hour to reach the college campus. Yang dao said, "This car can fly now, because we are using electo magnetic generators inside the four pads. This solution is not only expensive but have reverse effects of what my goal is with the project."
Frieda nodded and said, "I can understand what you mean but what do you propose to do to solve this."
Yang Dao spoke as he drove the car inside the campus, "A single electric railway track all over the countries main roads and introduce a dual transportation mode. The tires cane still be used in the offroad areas. The maglev will enhance the commuting speed and also, reduce traffic accidents but the sports department will still be using tired cars for a bit longer."
The two had come to the square in front of the principal's office. The staff faculty was already waiting for them. Aislinn Jasper had called over a few journalists. She wanted to make sure that no one will question how Yang Dao graduated ahead of time.
The boy parked the car and looked at Frieda. He said, "You can sit inside. Play to be my driver. Your clothes are not very appropriate."
Frieda suddenly recalled that she was sitting in the car wearing her pajamas. She nodded with a faint blush on the car. Yang Dao opened the buttfly door and got down in his crisp blue shirt and black pants. He wore a pair of blue swede sneakers with black soles. A watch was tried to his wrist this was the same dress code that he had used on the first day of college, except for the shoes.
Frieda forget to tell him that she did not know how to drive the car. The car was equipped with a small camera and RALF analysed her facial expressions. It said, "Miss Foster, may I ask if you have any discomforts?"
Frieda replied, "I do not know how to drive the car."
RALF said, "That is easy to solve. I can drive this car. It is inbuilt with the most advanced version of the autopilot system."
Frieda thought for a bit and said, "Well, let me sit in the driver's seat and pose like the driver."
RALF had no problem. The girl changed her seat and watched Yang Dao talking to the faculty outside.
...
The boy greeted his teachers and the principal. He handed the two minor course teacher his graduation thesis two days ago. He took old Newt to the side and told him about the completion of the nuclear fusion reactor and also signaled him to check out the car levitation on the side.
The professor said, "Is this thing flying in the void by resonating to the natural magnetic field?' hw was surprised by this and wanted to study it more but Yang Dao said, "Don't get excited, this is a prototype model. I will be putting it back to be the normal version of itself soon. As for the maglevs, they will be put into production in a month."
The old man nodded but he failed to hide his excited eyes. YanG dao sighed and said, "Okay, you can go to the lab and research after the ceremony."
Old newt patted his back twice and he did not hold back. He said, "You pass, A+" and he walked over to the car. Yang Dao shook his head.
He showed the prototype of the handsfree mobile to Kylie Dew and after the few tests she was satisfied and said, "You pass. A. I would give you a plus when you show me the working and in production model."
The people chuckled.. On the otherside, the post about Quinn, mag lev had gone viral on the net with the title of GHOST CAR.
