In fact, in addition to reading and traveling, Li Zimu also has another hobby, that is, drag racing, which stems from the fact that he completely fell in love with the car after seeing it for the first time. It can be said that Li Zimu has witnessed the development of automobiles.

Who invented the world's first automobile is still a controversial topic to this day in 2016, and it is currently recognized by the world as Carl Benz, to be precise, Carl Friedrich Benz.

The reason is that although the car he built only had three wheels, the horizontal bar four-stroke gasoline engine, electric ignition, carburetor, etc. are all his original technologies, which can still be seen in today's cars. What's more, this guy has applied for a patent......

Some people think that it is Henry Ford, because the car he built is four wheels, which is similar to the car on the market today, and it is also on the assembly line mass production, so it is known to the public.

Although these two people live not far away, it can be said that they are neighbors, but they have never met, and they should have been competitors, but their descendants have inexplicably united together to form a company, which is now known as the Mercedes-Benz brand.

Of course, there are also those who believe that the world's first automobile was built by Gounod, because he invented the car powered by the steam engine in 1769, before the two guys were born......

But Li Zimu didn't think so, because the first time he saw the prototype of the car was a hundred years earlier than that Gounod, that is, in 1669, when Kangxi reigned in the eighth year, a middle-aged Belgian man named Nan Huairen invented it and used it as a toy for Kangxi......

As time went on, the car went from an 'appalling' speed of 18 kilometers per hour to a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, and Li Zimu witnessed that his first car was bought from Bentz, when he borrowed it from his French friend Emile, and is still in the garage of his private estate in France.

Later, many excellent brands appeared, such as the Italian two kings and one queen, of which the two kings refer to Ferrari and Lamborghini, the first queen refers to Maserati, the big-eyed monster Porsche, etc., which are basically bought by Li Zimu.

Parking the car in the garage, Li Zimu slowly walked up from inside, he hadn't thought about what to eat for dinner, although he had stayed in the United States for the past few years, but he usually rarely ate that kind of hamburger or something, compared to cooking by himself, it was more delicious.

"Pudding" Li Zimu opened the door and walked in, and saw Pudding lying on the ground at the door, waiting for him to go home, and called out affectionately, this guy stood up straight and jumped into Li Zimu's arms, Li Zimu smiled and walked towards the kitchen with it in his arms.

Like the Brador, which is now common in the American market, Pudding has a pair of big blue eyes and thick long hair, but it is a very rare flame-colored breed, and speaking of this cat, I have to tell another story.

It was a winter in 1970, and the winter night in California could be said to be so cold that Li Zimu came out of the gate of Stanford to drive back to his house to take a hot shower and get a good night's sleep, but he didn't expect to hear a faint cat meow when he opened the car door.

After listening carefully, it was coming from under his car, Li Zimu had to put the book on the co-pilot and take out a flashlight to see where this guy was, he was not surprised by this cat meow, because there are many stray cats in California, some lucky guys can be lucky enough to get the help of the rescue station to avoid the fate of being cold to death, and some poor guys have to look everywhere for places that can provide them with warmth.

Obviously, a car that has just turned off can temporarily satisfy their needs, so every winter, people can always find one or several stray cats under their cars.

Li Zimu carefully inspected the car, only to find that the little guy was curled up in the exhaust pipe and made a faint cry, and out of pity, he saved the five-month-old one, and named it Pudding.

Originally, Li Zimu didn't want to raise animals, the reason was very simple, he didn't want to see them die of old age, so he didn't have a pet in the past few hundred years, and Pudding was the first.

If Pudding was just a normal cat, it would only live to be a teenager at most, but now Pudding is forty-six years old, a full twenty years more than the current record of twenty-six years old, the highest known in the world, and Pudding now looks like he is just an adult.

This is a secret between him and Pudding, one person and one cat, and it is also another secret that Li Zimu discovered about his body, that is, his blood, which also has the effect of immortality, he doesn't know about people, because he has never tried, but Pudding is really as immortal as him.

In 1972, Li Zimu, who had just graduated from Stanford, began his journey again, and it was not a good thing for him to not be able to stay in one place for a long time, so the day after the graduation ceremony, he moved directly from California on the west coast of the United States to Philadelphia on the other side.

The cleaning of the new house was usually done by him alone, and according to his skills, there would never be such a low-level mistake as breaking the glass, but unfortunately he didn't hold the glass in his hand without paying attention, and it was too late to save it when he reacted, but it was a pity that this valuable cup was too late.

The cup was broken, but the hand was also scratched, and while lamenting that he was always distracted, he got up to get a band-aid and put it on, and a few drops of blood dripped straight down the smooth floor.

Waiting for Li Zimu to put on the band-aid and prepare to come back to clean up the floor, he didn't expect to be licked clean by the pudding guy, so Li Zimu didn't take it seriously and went to do other things on his own.

Like Li Zimu, Pudding has not changed much except that its lifespan has been extended, and it is still two and a half years old and just an adult. Except that the hair is smoother and more beautiful, there is nothing special about it.

But what makes Li Zimu happy is that he will have one more companion in the future, at least not as boring as when he stays alone, more than forty years of living together has formed a tacit understanding between a person and a cat, Pudding can understand Li Zimu's words, and the same Li Zimu can also understand what its cry means.
