Li Chengqian doesn't remember who he heard before, a car is a sofa and four wheels, and it was precisely because of this that he had the idea of getting a car in Datang.

But it turns out that a car doesn't just have a sofa and four wheels, just one engine costs him about 50 million yuan, not to mention something as complex as a gearbox that needs to be further studied.

So as he watched the wooden shelf move slowly in front of him at an almost walking speed, he had a feeling in his heart that he could not tell whether he was happy or sad.

But unlike him, the rest of the workshop cheered after the wooden shelves moved, and for the first time after the train and the tractor, a so-called car could be set in motion by himself.

Since the birth of human beings, they have been constantly exploring the unknown places around them, and human beings' understanding of the world is also increasing with the continuous increase in the scope of activities.

At first, human beings could only move a few miles or dozens of miles around the camp, so people were ignorant, and later they cultivated war horses, and the range of human activities increased a lot, and there were also wars. But war is clearly not the whole story of the increase in the range of human movements, and trade was born at the same time as it.

As the scope of human activities continues to expand, ethnic groups have become tribes, and tribes have become countries.

Until the 21st century, the scope of human activities has expanded to the vast space, the understanding of the whole world has become more and more profound, and human civilization has also advanced to a level that the ancients could not imagine.

Li Chengqian sat in a corner of the factory area of the Academy of Sciences, staring blankly at the wooden shelves in the distance constantly moving back and forth, and some of the children of the researchers' families ran around behind the wooden shelves, climbing up at one time, and jumping down again at the same time, with the corners of their mouths slightly upturned.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with the car at all, do you want to try it?" I don't know when, Tang Shanzhi had already come down from the wooden shelf and walked to Li Chengqian's side.

"Don't try, there's still a lot of things left on this thing, and you have to keep working hard." Li Chengqian shook his head.

After a period of buffering, his interest in the wooden frame faded a lot, and in later generations, the high-speed railway could reach a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, and after seeing that speed, the rhythm of the wooden frame was not much faster than that of the ox cart could no longer make him excited.

Tang Shanzhi seemed to have known that Li Chengqian would have such a statement, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you can't let me rest for a few days, this so-called engine has kept me busy for many years, and I haven't even gone back to take a look at the birth of my son." ”

"Don't tell Lao Tzu that these things are useless, Lao Tzu just told you to hurry up, but he didn't let you shrink into the Academy of Sciences every day to do this thing." Li Chengqian scolded with a smile, then pointed to the wooden shelf controlled by others in the distance and said: "This speed is too slow, next I need you to get a set of gearboxes, that is, a combination of different gears, and when this combination is enough, the speed of the car will be raised." ”

"Combination gear?" Tang Shanzhi suddenly patted his head, looked sideways at Li Chengqian and said, "Gao Ming, your word is really right, it is really Gao Ming!" Why didn't I think of this, and wondered whether to continue to increase the engine cylinders, or the power of the engine, and now listening to you, the gearbox is indeed a good solution to the problem. ”

"Hehe, there's always more solutions than problems, isn't it?" Li Chengqian got up and stood side by side with Tang Shanzhi, and only reacted after a while: "By the way, your old boy hasn't called me smart for a few days, what's going on today?" Hair on the side of the gall? ”

"Uh......" Tang Shanzhi was stunned for a moment, then he remembered what he said, and hurriedly bowed down to ask for guilt: "Your Majesty forgive me, just now it was the minister's negligence ......." ”

Li Chengqian didn't wait for Tang Shanzhi to finish speaking, and then interrupted him with a tiger face: "Get out of the way, don't give Lao Tzu this set, believe it or not, Lao Tzu really cured you of a big crime of disrespect?" ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty Shengming!" Tang Shan accepted it when he saw it, and more than thirty people patted Li Chengqian's ass with a hippie smile.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian was in a really good mood during this time, and after glancing at him, he didn't say anything about him, but continued to follow the previous topic: "Don't stop the research on increasing the number of engine cylinders you just said, and the research work of the materials department can not be stopped, pay attention to the heat dissipation of the engine, and the most important thing is the brake system. ”

Tang Shanzhi nodded while listening, and secretly wrote down everything Li Chengqian said for future study.

Then the two talked about some other issues of the Academy of Sciences, such as rubber technology, materials science, radio, and so on.

It wasn't until it was getting late, and those researchers had had enough of the cars made of wooden shelves, that Li Chengqian packed up and prepared to go back to the palace.

When he was about to walk to the gate of the Academy of Sciences, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head to Tang Shanzhi and said, "That car just now, you shrink the shelf, add a shell to the outside, make it beautiful, I can use it." ”

"Huh? Doesn't it mean that this is only a half-finished product? Tang Shanzhi couldn't react.

"You don't care about what is half-finished, anyway, there are two more chairs in it, and by the way, install all the glass, and remember to get the brakes installed." Li Chengqian didn't bother to explain to Tang Shanzhi what he was going to do with that car, so he left the Academy of Sciences and stepped on the train back to Chang'an with a hasty order.

……

Ten days later, in Daming Palace, a car with a dark color and a style similar to the off-road vehicle of later generations appeared at the gate of the palace.

The forbidden army guarding the palace gate watched in amazement as His Majesty the Emperor sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with one hand and a cigarette roll in the other hand on the window, and drove the car in a very forced gesture.

For those forbidden soldiers' eyes, Li Chengqian has seen many along the way, and he doesn't care anymore, after the car entered the Daming Palace, he continued to move forward calmly in the face of more stunned eyes.

At this time, in the imperial garden of Daming Palace, His Majesty Li Er, the Emperor Taishang, was setting up a wine banquet, and a group of old guys were so happy to drink and push the cup to change the lamp, until Li Chengqian stopped the car and jumped out of the car, the old guys put their eyes on the dark car.
