Getting off the boat, Stone Beak smiled quite happily, and said with a smile: "Today I want spirits, I want to get drunk here." And my brothers, who also have wine and meat, and all kinds of vegetables. Just don't want sprouts. We ate the sprouts and vomited. ”

Lin Ji said: "Their wine and food are ready. You pick a group of people out, and we'll go back and eat. ”

"Go back?" Stone Beak looked at the sky and the north, and was a little puzzled.

At this time, there is no south wind, and if you want to take a boat back, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach it in the middle of the night. They could have ridden their cattle back before dark, but there were so many children here. There's no way they're going to leave their kids here, right?

"We've found gasoline, and we're able to distill some of it on a small scale," Lin explains. We drove in. ”

Stone Beak didn't expect this change, but it was quite unexpected.

Hearing that he was going to take the car back, Yuzhi pulled the stone beak and walked out of the dock. Stonebeak followed out of the dock and immediately saw a long line of cars lined up outside the dock. A straight asphalt road leads straight to the north, and the stone beak looks up and seems to be able to see the end of the castle.

Stone Beak stepped on the road and asked Lin Ji, "Did this come out too?" ”

Before he set out, there were only a few cities with concrete floors. It turns out that there is also a road here, but that road is only a gravel road, and it is difficult to walk on a rainy and snowy day. This asphalt floor is different from the cement, and it seems to be elastic when stepping on it.

Lin Ji said: "It took the whole country to get it. I hadn't done it yet, but when I heard that you were back, I asked them to rush out. Just to greet you, you have a big face, right? ”

Hutong Port slowly became the largest port in China on the Yangtze River, and it was necessary to build a road to Chaolin here. Regardless of the flow of people or materials, it will become smoother because of the existence of this road.

It is an exaggeration to say that the power of the whole country is a bit exaggerated. However, the asphalt at this time is from Qingchuan's back, and the price is not cheap at all, which is very distressing.

Stone Beak sighed at the changes in the kingdom, and was pulled on the bus in front by Youzhi and other children. Xiaobai was smirking on the bus and waiting for everyone, it was too hot outside, and there was no shortage of people around Lin Ji, so he hid in the car and blew the air conditioner.

"Where's Blackie?" Stone Beak saw the little white figure alone and asked casually.

Lin Ji sighed lightly and said, "They...... Feelings are broken. Blackie is gone. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Ji was very unhappy. When he returned to Chaolin City a few years ago, he punished Lin Ping'an, and Hu Yi'er wanted to ask Xiao Huang to Lin Ping'an as a companion in order to comfort the child. Xiaobai naturally has no opinion, because it grew up with the forest traces. But Xiao Hei's mother is very reluctant.

Hu Yi'er and the others didn't care much about Xiao Hei's attitude, and Lin Ping'an once occupied Xiao Huang to prevent Xiao Hei from getting close. Xiao Hei almost hurt someone several times, but he had an argument with Xiao Bai. After arguing for nearly a year, Xiao Hei simply took Xiao Huang over the city wall and left on a snowy day.

Now everyone doesn't know where Xiao Hei has gone. After this incident, Xiaobai seems to have lost interest in finding a partner.

After everyone got on the bus, the children were fighting for seats in the car. Behind the bus, the crew also formed a group, vying for the honor of taking the bus to Chaolin.

Except for the two buses in front, the back of the convoy was full of trucks. A number of higher-ranking officers have already gone up. Those of low rank, especially the warriors from the Americas, were not convinced that their companions could get on the chariot, but they could not get on themselves. Hence the launch of an ad hoc challenge.

Seeing this, Shi Beak got out of the car and shouted three times before the crowd quieted down and let many people with blue noses and swollen faces get on the bus.

Seeing this, Lin Meng simply gave up a truck transporting the little white elephant and increased dozens of places. She told Lin Ji that she had decided to ride the elephant back in two days. Lin Ji was quite relieved to hear this, and left people to accompany her.

Lin Meng turned around and got back on the boat. She was curious about the size of the ship and what kind of structure it was. I don't feel satisfied if I don't spend a few days researching it.

When Stone Beak returned to the car, the children had been tied up by Hu Yi'er and Yuhe with seat belts, and Stone Beak sat down next to Lin Ji and eagerly looked at the steering wheel and asked, "Now that so many people can drive, can I learn?" ”

As he spoke, he almost wanted to get started.

Lin Ji said: "There is a driving class in the university, and it is not difficult for you to learn it when you go back." The main thing is not to drive too fast. ”

Lin Ji drove on the road, and Stone Beak said expectantly: "Then give me one of these cars in the future?" ”

"One for each of you dukes and marquises. But gasoline has to be rationed. That thing is too low in production. ”

As long as there is a car to drive, Stone Beak doesn't mind how much petrol there is. He sat in front of the car and looked ahead, and sure enough, he noticed that the kingdom had changed dramatically. In the canal by the road, a new pot-bellied boat appeared. That kind of ship is not very long, but at a glance you can see that the load is not light, and it is not comparable to a clipper ship.

"River boats. It is suitable for short-range carrying, with heavy loads, but slow speeds. I removed the stabilizer plate under it, so I could go shallower, but I couldn't withstand the wind and waves. Lin Ji casually introduced.

Sure enough, Stonebeak noticed that the ship had a low mast. Even with a full sail now, it won't be very fast. In this kind of small canal, the elephant is still allowed to pull the fiber.

Elephant pulling on the canal has been around for a long time, and it has even become the most common job for elephants along the canal.

Lin Ji said: "Our people from Chaolin University have calculated and found that this canal cannot be widened because of the amount of water. Their opinion was to build a reservoir somewhere in the middle reaches. ”

"How does the boat get through the reservoir?" Stonebeak thought these children were just messing around. A ship weighs 100 tons and 1,000 tons, is it also pulled by elephants?

Lin Ji said: "I gave them an opinion on the ship lock. If it is built, it may be able to pass a large ship like the Three Princes. It's just too expensive. ”

Stone Beak thought about the so-called ship lock, but didn't figure out what it was, so he simply didn't think about it. He was interested in the excavators that suddenly appeared on the side of the road.

"That thing works now, too?"

"There is gasoline, and let them learn first. The people who operate are all college students. Otherwise, it would have been two months before the road was opened. At present, the drainage ditches and other things in some places have not been done yet. ”

Stonebeak looked outside for a while, and noticed more changes. And the biggest change is that he found that it didn't take long for him to be nearly halfway there. Only then did he realize that the speed of the car was not only faster than that of the boat, but also much faster than running on the ice.

He came back to his senses and said, "Now that I have this thing, I don't think the camel needs to be brought back, right?" ”

He was struck. Cars can run faster on the road than horses or camels. He thought that the discovery of the tall-legged camel was a great contribution, but compared to this car, the high-legged camel was also scum.

It doesn't feel good to run outside and work hard to think that he has changed the world, only to find out that others are doing it casually at home and dumping him for several streets.

Lin Ji asked: "Do you think these cars can replace livestock in a short period of time?" ”

"Can't?" The stone beak seemed to see the clue on his face.

"Nonsense. If we can, why don't we just drive to the Americas? "The Bering Strait should be frozen in winter now, and you might be able to cross it by car.

"Why not?" The stone beak is unknown.

"I don't have many cars in my hands, so I can't make livestock for most people. And this thing is not an animal and does not mate to produce offspring on its own. If we want to produce, it may not be easy. Take the wheel running underneath, and its outer skin is made of rubber that you get back. But do you know what to do with the buckets of rubber made into wheels in the middle? To put it simply, it needs to go through a vulcanization process and then compress and shape. But there are no less than 100 production processes involved. It's great that we've been able to understand this process in 10 years. If you look around you, is there anything that doesn't survive like this? Not to mention the engine. ”

The automobile industry is the industry with the longest industrial chain in later generations, and no matter how arrogant Lin Ji is, he does not think that he can make a car in just a few years.

In the journey of human development, everyone is moving forward in the dark. So it's extremely slow. It took Homo sapiens fifty or sixty thousand years to enter an agricultural society. It took 10,000 years to enter the industrial revolution in an agrarian society. It took hundreds of years to develop during the Industrial Revolution before the forest trail was created.

The emergence of the traverser can break this situation and illuminate the direction of human development. But forest trails can shorten the time of this development and avoid human detours. But there's no way to do it overnight.

The reason for this is because no matter how clear the future is, the road still has to be taken step by step. Industrial achievements must be completed one by one, accumulated to a considerable extent, before the next step can be carried out.

And now he's basically starting to go.

He had a small town in his hands, and most of the technologies of the pre-industrial revolution could be found in the small town. But the biggest problem he faced was that he had too few people at his disposal. If he had a team of researchers from later generations of medium-sized countries, he could compress the development process of mankind in 10,000 years into less than 100 years. But now, he himself has to go shirtless to conduct all kinds of research and research guidance, and to get the automobile industry out completely, God knows the year of the monkey?

"Someone? That's easy, you tell me where there are, and I'll keep getting it for you. After Shi Beak understood the distress of Lin Ji, he was more willing to do the work of strength, anyway, he didn't know what kind of vulcanization process he wanted, and he still had to work hard.

Lin Ji smiled: "You better rest for a while and then familiarize yourself with the current situation." If I send you out again...... It's too impersonal. ”

Lin Ji didn't look back, and he could feel the rain and the murderous aura that erupted from it. Let the stone beak walk for a few more years, and it is estimated that the rain will make trouble first.
