Chapter 57 Risking Yourself
After rejecting several lobbyists sent by the Brotherhood one after another, Evan was finally able to study his seat belt quietly.
Jack Warner of the Masonic came to Los Angeles after he didn't meet Evan himself for the second time. He was a descendant of the founder of Warner Bros. Film Company and was very prosperous in Hollywood, but he didn't have the patience and time to wait for Evan's reply.
What's more, Evan is about to go to Los Angeles to go to school, so it's not too late to get in touch with him.
A week later, on July 22, Evan finally made the first version of the seat belt and installed it on the test seat.
How to test the actual performance of seat belts has become a problem. Now is not an era of various sensors, and you can use a puppet to perform simulation testing.
The test device Evan has been completed. It is an acceleration track driven by an electric motor, which is placed on the open space behind the laboratory building. Although this place does not belong to the laboratory, it is a wasteland anyway, and it is not permanently occupied, so it is used first.
This track can add test seats (detached from a scrap car) to a certain speed, and then crash into a firmly fixed steel plate ahead. The speed can be adjusted between 30 km/h and 100 km/h.
Evan thought of using animals to test, but he quickly rejected it. The most suitable animal was a monkey, but where did he go to find monkeys? The zoo could not allow him to use monkeys for experiments.
Just as Evan was thinking of trying it out with a dummy first, intern and senior Rogers offered: "Evan, let me sit on it and try it!"
"Anyway, neither dummy nor animal experiments can reach accurate conclusions. Why not let me experience it yourself!"
"No!" Evan refused without thinking, "Rogers, this is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you can break the ribs at the least, and you can die at the worst. So don't even think about it."
Evan is not a mad scientist. He can never do anything about treating people as experimental subjects or such a highly dangerous experimental subject.
In the end, Evan did not make Rogers' crazy idea come true. In the first experiment, Evan just used a dummy to test it out, and even the speed of the speed was only 50 kilometers per hour before the experiment ended.
The experiment results were pretty good, the seat belt worked successfully, and the dummy was firmly fixed on the seat when the collision occurred and did not fly out at once.
This result alone made Evan very happy. You should know that if there is no seat belt, as long as the speed reaches forty kilometers, the person will definitely be on the head of the car when the collision occurs.
When the experiment was finished, it was almost dark, so Evan temporarily interrupted the experiment and planned to continue tomorrow.
The next day, Evan, who had thought about it all night but still didn't think of a better test method, yawned to the laboratory. He decided to do the experiment to a speed of 80 kilometers per hour first, and not do the high-speed part behind. Wait until he finds a suitable "experimental animal" and experimental plan.
Before nine o'clock in the morning, the Super De Luxe sedan slowly stopped on the side of the road in front of the laboratory building. Before getting off the bus, Evan felt a little nervous and felt something was wrong.
Why did there be one more car?
He and Carl would drive in the lab, and everyone else would come by taxi. Evan reimbursed the fare, and the assistants in the lab and even Chester would take taxi as long as they could.
Those who don’t enjoy benefits are fools.
Sure enough, Evan's premonition came true after getting off the car.
Evan saw Will and another assistant carrying a man on a simple stretcher and hurriedly walked out of the side of the building.
"Will! What happened?" Evan asked loudly as he ran over quickly, "Who is lying down?"
Seeing Evan, Will subconsciously stopped, but was squeezed by the assistant behind him and staggered forward a few steps, almost not falling down the person on the stretcher. After stabilizing his body, Will looked at Evan. At this time, Evan had already come to him.
Evan looked at the figure on the stretcher, was really surprised and shouted: "Rogers, you are..."
At this moment, Rogers looked like snow, all his clothes were untied, his breathing was rapid, and he coughed from time to time. Evan's eyes were sharp, and he clearly saw blood flowing out of the corners of his mouth after coughing.
Seeing Rogers' appearance, Evan seemed to have thought about something, and his face changed drastically.
"Evan..." The Rogers still had consciousness. As soon as he saw Evan, he was about to get up. Seeing this, Evan quickly stepped forward and suppressed him, scolding: "Don't move!"
Then Evan looked at Will and asked, "Is Carl here?"
Will shook his head.
Evan glanced at Rogers on the stretcher, sighed, and said to Will, "Please carry the person into my car and we'll go to the hospital."
After several people put Rogers carefully in the back seat of the car, Evan told another assistant: "Stay here and wait for Carl to come, let him take the money to the hospital."
Fortunately, there was a Rengui General Hospital less than a kilometer away. In less than ten minutes, Rogers was sent to the clinic. The diagnosis came out that Rogers had two broken ribs and was accompanied by lung contusion. Fortunately, it was not serious.
When the doctor asked how Rogers was injured, Rogers hesitated for a moment and replied that he had hit the wall and injured him.
There is no good way to treat rib fractures, so you can only relieve pain and fix the chest. After confirming that the lung contusion is not serious, the doctor prescribed analgesics to him.
When Carl arrived at the hospital, Rogers had already used medicine and fell asleep. Evan, who was sitting next to the bed, was talking to Will, and asking him what Rogers did.
Although Evan had guessed it, he still listened to the truth. Will arrived at the laboratory earlier and should have seen some situations at the scene.
Will told Evan everything he knew: "It's normal time today. When I first arrived at the laboratory and was about to make a cup of coffee for myself, I suddenly heard a loud noise... I walked to the back of the building and found Rogers sitting in the experimental seat. He had fainted at that time. Then I immediately launched the rescue, and later someone arrived... until you met..."
After listening to Will's description, Evan remained silent for a long time.
Alas...Rogers, what are you doing!?
An hour later, Evan returned to the laboratory and worked with Will and other assistants to sort out the data Rogers measured.
Carl was kept by Evan to take care of Rogers.
The next day, Evan visited Rogers at the hospital, talked with him for a while, and asked him if he wanted to notify his family. Rogers said no.
Before leaving, Evan said to him: "You should recover from your injuries, you don't have to worry about money."
