After some tossing, the doors on several trucks were removed, the windshield was also lowered, although the reconnaissance vehicle carried only three people, but because of its light weight, it carried relatively few goods and personnel, the outer edge of the wheels was cast iron, and there were patterns, and the grip was very good, and it was able to travel at a speed of ten kilometers per hour on a slope of about fifteen degrees. Although the www.biquge.info reconnaissance vehicle also had doors and windshields, it did not emit heat because it did not have an external combustion engine, so the soldiers above did not have the urge to remove the windows and doors. The soldiers of the special reconnaissance team have been vigilantly holding their weapons around the perimeter, and the soldiers sitting on the off-road reconnaissance vehicle are holding machine guns in their hands and their right hands are on the handle of the machine, intentionally or unintentionally. On the left side of the machine gun are two bullet boxes, which can store 200 bullet chains, which are covered with lids to prevent rain or dust from falling, and can also imitate the bullet chain when firing into the cockpit to contaminate the bullet casing with dust and other pollutants to ensure a smooth shooting process.

The people of the caravan passing by were all turning their heads to look at this group of convoys that looked very different, and the main thing that made them curious was that these caravans were loaded with a lot of goods, but they did not see cattle and horses, and some were just people. They whispered about the weirdness of these vehicles, especially the four-wheelers. Because neither the Wu Dynasty nor Annan, the nearby neighboring countries could solve the problem of four-wheeled vehicle steering, so they could only use two-wheeled vehicles for transportation work as much as possible. The manufacture of two-wheeled vehicles has always been a big problem, and the position of the wheels is quite difficult to determine. If it is too far forward, the center of gravity of the vehicle will be rear, and the front of the vehicle will likely be tilted after being loaded with heavy goods, which is why in the old plane it was common for donkeys to be lifted by carts and goods. If the wheels are positioned in front, there will also be trouble, because the trailer of the livestock already needs a lot of force to pull the vehicle, and if the center of gravity is too forward, the weight will be pressed on the livestock responsible for traction, causing the livestock to fatigue easily and reduce the driving distance of the vehicle.

But in front of these vehicles, there were no mules, horses, or other livestock, just a group of people standing there, were they all pushing? But looking at these people shouting around the car and disassembling things, there was no feeling of fatigue at all. Many people couldn't help but slow down and watch strongly.

"Go away, go away!" The special investigators were full of nervousness about these people who suddenly approached, "Don't come closer! Several overly nervous special investigators had already reached out to open the safety of the weapons in their hands, and with the sound of a "click" from the firing position on the roof of the reconnaissance vehicle, Yang Muqin couldn't be clearer that this was the pull handle of the machine gun.

"Don't shoot!" Yang Muqin hurriedly shouted, he couldn't blame the special investigators, their task was to protect the convoy, and the curious crowd that was too close would definitely be able to pose a threat to the convoy.

But he also can't blame these curious passers-by, curiosity is a normal reaction of everyone, although the vehicles used by the northbound detachment are commonplace in the Eastern Port, but for the natives of this time and space, they are strange things that cannot be reasoned, and they will naturally have the urge to come up and see the excitement.

There was a shout from the back of the caravan, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the master is here!" The caravan guards and laborers got out of the way, and a light two-wheeled carriage drove from the back to the front, the wheels of the carriage were about one meter and two in diameter, and the wheels were about sixty centimeters from the ground, and on the carriage was a carriage about three meters long and two meters wide, and there was a cloth curtain hanging in front of the carriage, and a few lively birds were embroidered on the branches, which looked and felt very good. Before Yang Muqin had time to sigh at the delicacy of the pattern on the curtain, the curtain was lifted in a flash, and a middle-aged man poked his head out of it, just two pairs of eyes with Yang Muqin, this middle-aged man was wearing a square scarf on his head, wearing a light blue robe, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a long beard on the side of his mouth.

This situation frightened Yang Muqin back and hurriedly took a step back. The middle-aged man was also stunned, seeing the convoy in front of him and the entourage, even the young man in front of him who seemed to be the manager of the convoy was unspeakably weird, and he could think of it with the soles of his feet. Seeing that the young man in front of him had no beard on his face, and an expression of slight disgust for his appearance, he knew that this person must be a real man, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.

Seeing this, the two little guys hurriedly stepped forward to help, but he shook his hand and pushed him away, walked in a few steps to the real man, and bowed, "An Yun Zhang Rusong has seen the old man." ”

The entourage next to him couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that the group of people in front of them was the legendary Beard Man? Busy all bowed to Yang Mu Qin in the same way, and a few little guys even knelt down and kowtowed, making Yang Mu Qin a puzzle for the second monk.

Speaking of Zhang Rusong, Yang Muqin has never dealt with him, but after the first anti-encirclement and suppression after the landing day, Zhou Jinfeng dealt with the Senate through Zhang Rusong. Seeing Yang Muqin's stunned face, Zhang Rusong also knew that this person obviously didn't know him, but it didn't matter, he knew that although the group of elders in the Senate said that they would kill people without blinking an eye when they started a war, they were usually quite fair to people and things, and they didn't have a hobby of robbing people's property or killing people for fun, so he straightened up and said, "It's an Anyun squire down below, and when your army attacked Wu'an Village, it was passed by in front of Xia Zhuangzi, and we also specially sent twenty stone of grain as military rations."

He was smiling all over his face.

Although Yang Muqin still didn't know who this person was, he still understood the reason of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, so he also nodded at the middle-aged man and smiled, "Hello, I'm Yang Muqin, the deputy captain of the Dongfang Port Special Investigation Team, do you have anything to do?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhang Rusong knew that this was the standard greeting of the senators, and he didn't say too much, he dealt with the Senate a lot, and knew that the senators liked to be simple, and the more they talked, the easier it was to attract the senators, so he said, "I just sat in the car at the back of the line, and I heard the entourage say that there was a strange car in front of me, so I rushed here to see what was going on, and I realized that it was the elders at a glance." As he spoke, Liu Yeqiang and Lu Qi, who were looking at the back probe, nodded their heads.

"Can Zhang ask one or two?" Zhang Rusong's eyes were quickly attracted by the appearance of the Rolls-Royce, Yang Muqin looked behind him with his eyes, and said with a slight smile, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." "Anyway, the convoy is still tidying up and resting, and you still have to light a fire and start it before driving, so it's good to have a chat here, just don't get too close for the fleas to jump over.

"These cars are made in the port of Vostochny?" Zhang Rusong hurriedly pointed to a few trucks parked in the distance and asked, Yang Mu Qin didn't look back at this "hillbilly" and nodded, "That's right, it is made in Dongfang Port, and it will be sold in the future." ”

"Oh!" Zhang Rusong immediately raised his eyebrows, obviously feeling very happy, "Is this car human-driven?" Zhang did not see any cattle and horses in the convoy now. ”

Yang Muqin said with a smile, "That's right, there is no need for cattle and horses to pull it, and manpower is only used when there is no way, we usually use engine drive." ”

"Whip up the chicken?" Zhang Rusong hurriedly looked left and right, but he didn't see any chickens nearby, and he didn't smell the unpleasant smell that would be emitted when feeding chickens. But seeing the patriarch nodding with a smile on his face, he was embarrassed to ask again, so he had to look twice again, but he couldn't find a chicken, so he had to give up and change the topic of the chat to another question, "How fast can this car be?" ”

"Speed?" Yang Muqin was stunned for a moment, "This depends on the road conditions."

Zhang Rusong also smiled awkwardly, he was actually not familiar with the word road conditions, but he could guess that the patriarch in front of him must be talking about the road situation. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the potholed official road, not far away a cow was shaking its head and pulling a piece of grass growing out of the ruts to eat, and at the same time, a ball of cow dung was still lying in front of the car. As one of the first people to deal with the Senate, he was not only interested in the roads built by the Senate. You must know that the Dongfanggang Westward Highway has been built until the original site of Wu'an Village, during which he passed through his Zhuangzi, but because there are many acres of land between the road and Zhuangzi, and the shapes are different, the highway is 800 meters away from the exit of Zhuangzi, and it takes a long time to walk to the side of the road every time you come out of Zhuangzi. Moreover, the road outside is smooth, and the road in Zhuangzi is full of potholes, giving people the illusion that they should build Zhuangzi directly next to the avenue? Anyway, now An Yun has no bandits, this group of veterans who were previously pirates attacked bandits and pirates are more concerned than the government, and most of An Yun's bandits have been beaten away in a month. An Yun's security has never been so good now, although it is not to stay closed at night, but the days of bandits and bandits in the past are gone.

"On our road, it can reach about twenty to thirty kilometers per hour, and on this kind of road," Yang Muqin smiled bitterly and continued with an angry mouth, "This kind of road can't go so fast, it can only be guaranteed to be about ten kilometers per hour." ”

Zhang Rusong didn't know what the concept of this kilometer per hour was, and looked at Yang Muqin with a confused expression. At this time, Liu Yeqiang stepped forward and nodded at Zhang Rusong and explained, "The walking speed of a cow is about two to three kilometers per hour, and the running speed is only twenty-five kilometers per hour, and the speed of a horse is about twenty or thirty kilometers per hour when running at high speed. ”

Zhang Rusong couldn't help but be stunned, now he has sat on the bus ox cart opened by Dongfang Port a few times, a copper plate ticket from the beginning to the end of dozens of miles, I feel that I have made a lot of money, if it is not a hurry, it is absolutely worth taking the bus ox cart. But the ox cart speed is also notoriously slow, this is still the Oriental Port bus ox cart is generally four to six ox trailers, now his own caravan in the ox cart is generally two oxen pull cart, more caravans are one ox, the speed is simply too slow, often walking much faster than the ox cart. It can't be helped, who makes cattle worthwhile? If you build a four-cow trailer like Dongfang Port, the grain and grass consumption along the way will be a lot of money.

According to the patriarch in front of him, who had a thin iron shelf in front of his eyes, this kind of loaded cart was driven by manpower and "starting chickens", and the speed of the cart was three or four times faster than that of the ox cart. He couldn't help but glance at the cargo piled up on the wagon, obviously not light, and carrying so many people, it seemed to be a little less than the weight of the ox cart, but not too much. The little abacus in his heart immediately sounded, such a car is a good thing! Without the traction of cattle and horses, he saved a lot of expenses for feeding livestock, and if he could replace all the cars in his caravan with this kind of car, wouldn't it be much less expensive?

Liu Yeqiang naturally knew what he was thinking, so he began to brag to him about the various benefits of the freight Rolls-Royce, although the wisdom of the ancients is not inferior to modern people, but the knowledge is too far behind the patriarchs, and now Liu Yeqiang is boasting about it, and he can't afford to pay for a try at that time. Of course, the car of the northbound detachment is a special car, not to mention that the patriarch is not short of silver, so it is naturally impossible to vacate the cars in the convoy and sell them to him, if he really wants to sell them, where will the goods carried by the convoy be stuffed? Liu Yeqiang followed Yang Muqin to flicker Zhang Rusong and helped him make up his mind to go to Dongfang Port to buy one and try it.

"Chief! It's almost time to go! The machine gunner at the machine gun position on the front reconnaissance vehicle shouted at Liu Yeqiang's side. Liu Yeqiang raised his hand and looked at his watch and muttered, "It's only been twenty minutes, okay, the cylinder should be cooled, has the water been released?" ”

The Stirling cylinder must be drained during the first few runs of the cylinder, otherwise the condensation in the cylinder will affect the normal operation. Several mechanics came to the front of the car to check the situation of the vehicle, and they got up again to tell Liu Yeqiang that there was no problem.

"Fire up, get ready to go!" Liu Yeqiang raised his hand again and looked at his watch, "All ready to fire!" ”

A soldier took out a small piece of metal, scraped it with a knife, scraped some powder on the wood fibers used to start the fire, and then rubbed it vigorously, only to see a flash of light, and a lot of sparks fell on the metal powder of the wood fibers. Zhang Rusong laughed in his heart at first, it is not surprising that the metal scrapes out the sparks, but it is too whimsical to use such a method to raise the fire. But what happened next made him so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth again, and he saw that the metal powder that had been scraped off before instantly burned violently, quickly igniting the fibers of the wood, and immediately turned into a small ball of fire. Several workers came over and started the fire with dry wood, and then reached into the combustion chamber to light the combustion chamber. This metal block is magnesium, the chemical plant needs a lot of salt after the start of production, there is a large amount of sodium chloride and magnesium chloride in the sea salt, and the work of producing magnesium blocks has also begun to be carried out in an orderly manner.
