Chapter 401: Where is the Electricity?
Even if they play high-end, of course, humans can't play their big chief.
While they were still pursuing eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, their big chiefs were already pursuing famous watches and sports cars.
After day and night research and development, the first sports car with a new engine was finally born.
To the south of Blackstone Valley is a canyon that has been converted into a dedicated testing site.
"Wow---!"
There are really not many babies who can make Li Qi make such an exclamation, but the two black and red sports cars in front of him are enough to make the well-informed Li Qi drool.
The shape of the Batmobile is black and red shiny, and the body is slender and calm, full of mystery.
Even if Hanying is not very interested in cars, he can't help but have a strong love for it.
"How's it going, Great Chief?"
Agu asked.
"Handsome!"
Li Qi shook his head and praised, as if he felt that this simple word "handsome" still couldn't perfectly describe his inner feelings, so he said: "Handsome, handsome, handsome!" ”
Ah Gu and Rong glanced at each other and laughed tacitly.
"I'll give it a try."
Richie can't wait to give it a try.
Rong hurriedly stepped forward and opened the car door.
As soon as the long door opened, it almost didn't hit Rich.
Li Qi subconsciously took a step back, a little disappointed in his eyes, it was really a batmobile, but it was automatically driven to it, but there was no technology in this area yet, and now it is mainly to test the engine, brakes, and clutch, and those technologies can be improved later. Li Qi began to hypnotize himself to open it up, and quickly sat down, the decoration inside was very luxurious, and the consoles were all crystal stones, not the lenses produced by the red pig, and the light was a little dazzling.
"Brakes, throttle, clutch. That's what a sports car should look like. ”
Li Qi took a closer look and saw the familiar configuration, and his heart was ecstatic, "That's right! They haven't given me the keys yet. ”
Li Qi poked his head out, and when he was about to ask for the key, he saw Rong passing by with a Z-shaped iron rod, and said in surprise: "Rong, what are you doing with the iron bar?" Are there any beasts around here? ”
"Start the car?"
Rong replied.
"Shenma?"
When Li Qi heard this, he hurriedly got out of the car again, only to see Rong coming to the front of the sports car with an iron rod and inserting it directly into the hole in front of the sports car.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Wait a minute, that hole is an inhalation port, not for insertion." ”
The vortex in front of the body seems to have a suction port design, but it is very bullish, how can it be inserted with an iron rod?
Ah Gu stepped forward and said triumphantly: "Great Chief, we have combined this inhalation port with the lighter equipment into one, this inhalation port is usually closed, and only after the ignition will we start to inhale." ”
Li Qi looked at Ah Gu in confusion, and saw Rong desperately turning the iron rod, it seems that the strength required is really not small!
As a post-80s Li Qi, he is very familiar with this lighter mode, with tears in his eyes, is this a sports car or a tractor! Xiang Agu said: "Why did you choose this way of ignition? ”
Ah Gu was stunned and said, "This is the information you gave us, the Great Chief!" Originally, I wanted to develop the use of gunpowder impact to make fire, but the information you gave me, Great Chief, is how to make fire, I thought Great Chief, you like this way of ignition. ”
"Really?"
Li Qi was really about to cry, it turned out that I had taken the wrong information.
However, Li Qi was quickly comforted, and under Rong's iron arm, the sports car finally started, and the low roar made Li Qi finally get a little comfort.
He got into the sports car again, and beckoned to Hanying again, "Hanying, hurry up and get in the car." ”
Without a sexy girl sitting on the side, the charm of a sports car will be halved, which also fully proves that Li Qi is not a sports car enthusiast, not a beauty enthusiast, and he is not very rare without a beautiful sports car.
Han Yingben was also eager to try, so naturally he didn't refuse, and immediately sat down.
According to Agu's guidance, Li Qi pushed the joystick, and then kicked the accelerator down, and the sports car immediately sped forward.
"Wow! It's really not slow! ”
Li Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to Hanying, "How is it?" ”
Han Ying said lightly: "It's okay." ”
Han Ying's reply is already a full affirmation of this sports car.
Li Qi was even more stunned, and couldn't help but sway his body, and sang, "Float and flutter, float and flutter, I will go around the mountainside and the rain will knock." ”
When the cold shadow saw it, he couldn't help but laugh.
After a few laps, Li Qifang stopped and said, "This is the car!" As he spoke, he glanced at the cold shadow on the side, "Do you want to try it?" ”
Hanying nodded, "Okay! ”
Hanying, who has always admired speed, has a little interest in this kind of car.
They immediately switched seats.
"I'll teach you."
Richie's voice did not fall.
Hanying pushed the joystick, just kicked the accelerator and flew out directly.
And the throttle is pressed straight to the bottom.
"Hey, hey, hey! Novices don't drive like that, beauty, you'd rather slow down! Li Qi hurriedly shouted.
But Hanying only pursues fast, not slow.
Li Qi suddenly realized that he was not wearing a seat belt yet, and he immediately panicked, and quickly touched the back of his waist, it was empty, no! It's really a dog, I forgot to design the seat belt, no, even the handrails forgot to design! Oh, my God!
Suddenly, Li Qi found himself bumping into the truth at the foot of the mountain, and immediately covered his face and screamed, and then leaned back to the right sharply.
"Wow---!"
In the middle of the field, Agu couldn't help but let out an exclamation when he saw the sports car crossing a wonderful arc, and as the inventor of the car, he realized for the first time that the car could be driven like this.
"Agu, did you notice, the speed of the car seems to be improving, which is even faster than when we tested it." Rong said suddenly.
Ah Gu nodded and said, "This may be related to the characteristics of the new fuel, when the engine heats up, it may make the new fuel more volatile and more active." ”
They didn't know that their Great Chief was in dire straits.
Multiply----!
The sports car came to a sudden stop.
Han Ying lowered his head slightly, and said very disappointedly: "What are you doing?" ”
Li Qi suddenly came back to his senses, and what he saw was a snow-white mountain peak with a canyon in the middle. Where am I? He slowly raised his head, and suddenly found that he was lying in the arms of the little bird in the arms of the cold shadow, holding her tightly with both hands, and he said with tears in his eyes: "I'm still alive!" ”
As he spoke, he suddenly lost his strength, pillowed his head on the towering twin peaks of the cold shadow, rubbed slightly, and made a whimpering sound in his mouth, thinking, if I don't come back cheaply, this trip to the ghost gate will be in vain!
Han Ying suddenly felt a strange feeling in his chest, his cheeks were a little red, and he said lightly: "You don't let go again!" ”
Halfway through his words, Li Qi suddenly sat up and couldn't help but be furious, "You---! ”
As soon as he finished saying a word, Li Qi's eyes suddenly opened, he hurriedly opened the car door, ran to the side, and heard a wow.
"Great Chief, Great Chief!"
Ah Gu and Rong saw them and hurriedly ran over.
"Great Chief, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, stay away from me, vomit ----!"
Richie bent over and waved his hand, signaling them not to come.
Ah Gu looked at Han Ying again and said, "What happened just now?" ”
Hanying shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, "
Agu said, "But what? ”
Hanying said, "But it's not fast enough, it would be better if it could be faster." ”
"Don't listen to her."
Li Qi suddenly turned around, glared at Han Ying angrily and said, "Who let you drive so fast." ”
Han Ying said: "It's not fast! ”
"You!"
Li Qi pointed to Han Ying, it can be seen that she is serious, and suddenly realized that the consciousness of speed between demons and humans is two concepts, and said to Ah Gu: "Ah Gu, I found a major design flaw. ”
Agu said: "What a defect. ”
"No seat belts." Li Qi covered his face and choked.
In the past, the speed of the steam car, there was no possibility of a major accident, and there was no need for any seat belts at all, and Agu and they didn't realize this problem.
Of course, seat belts are only secondary, they can be installed in a few days, and the main thing is the improvement of the ignition mechanism.
Such a bullish sports car, it actually uses the starting method of a tractor, this is really unbearable.
Li Qi's first reaction was electronic ignition, and the gunpowder proposed by Agu was ignition, and Li Qi also felt that it was not very safe.
But for electronic ignition, first of all, there has to be electricity.
After knowing that fluorite existed in this world, Li Qi almost forgot about electricity.
He hurriedly went back to check the information about electric energy, and the information he brought was tailored by scientists according to ancient technology, not according to the natural industrial revolution, according to the above steps of the data, the development of electric energy is very backward, and it is necessary to wait until it has a very perfect steam power, and then to develop thermal power generation, because thermal power generation is to use steam power to drive generators.
So now Agu and their technology have the basis for research and development of electric energy.
But!
Li Qi suddenly realized that the main raw materials for the development of electrical energy had not been discovered.
Copper wire?
No.
The copper of this era, that is a medium and high-grade metal, is a level higher than black iron, Niu refused to fight these young generals, only to wear copper armor, as for the conductivity of the low-grade metal black iron, it is not yet known.
However, based on the properties of black iron, it is estimated that the conductivity is very poor.
Magnet?
Nor did it.
Li Qi had never found a magnet in this era, and Ah Gu had never heard of a magnet.
Some of the chemical elements required by batteries are not fully available.
This made Richie a little confused.
He began to inquire about what humans and foxes knew about electricity.
But the result made him a little desperate, it turned out that the race that lived here knew very little about electricity, according to the old raccoon, this large number of thunder and lightning are concentrated in Zaitian, there are few thunder and lightning here, if there is thunder and lightning, it is a natural disaster.
Even Ah Gu and they don't know anything about electricity.
This really made Richie very depressed.
There is technology, no raw materials, this can't afford to play!
Without electricity, many technologies would not be able to develop.
At this moment, Taba suddenly returns to Blackstone Valley, bringing something even more depressing to Richie.
Someone sued a chicken prostitute named Xiao Rong for being involved in corruption and bribery.
This is the first major violation since the Huaxia tribe legislation, because it involves chicken prostitution, so Taba didn't know how to deal with it, so he rushed to Blackstone Valley to report to Li Qi.
