Seeing that Nanfeng didn't come, Wang Yanran's heart was empty, and a burst of sourness poured out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But on the surface, it's not easy to show. He hugged Nanxi in his arms and said with some shame: "Hehe, Minister Zuo said this, but I am ashamed of myself, an idler who has nothing to do." ”。 Although she was Nanfeng's wife, she did not hold any public office in Daming. In modern parlance, it is a full-time housewife.

It was also when she worked before, and she didn't have time to take care of Nam Hee. So after Nanyang Radio got on the right track, he voluntarily quit his job. The focus of life has also completely returned to the family.

But as Nam Hee went to kindergarten, her time gradually became empty. In addition, Nanfeng is often busy with work and has no time to take care of his family. So her days are becoming more and more boring.

So much now, she is more and more eager to return to the workplace.

Regarding her words, Zuo Peng naturally disagreed. shook his head again and again, explaining: "Nanfeng is in a high position and has a lot of things to take care of. So this errand of picking up people fell to me, an idle old fellow.

Otherwise, Nanfeng will definitely come to pick up your mother and daughter in person. ”。 After not seeing him for so long, he also understood Wang Yanran's thoughts about Nanfeng. Therefore, I heard the sourness in Wang Yanran's words. Obviously, it explained the reason why Nanfeng couldn't come to pick them up.

Hearing this, the smile on Wang Yanran's face was also a little real. The loss in my heart was also slightly relieved. After all, she understands that Nanfeng is indeed very busy at work.

It's just that I haven't seen it for a long time, and I still can't help but feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xia Bing immediately shouted affectionately: "Principal! ”。

When Zuo Peng heard this, he shifted his gaze to Xia Bing. The smile on his face is also more kind.

"Hmmm! Do a good job! Now you're my equal Minister of Finance. In the encouragement, with unconcealed emotion.

It may be that his years are flowing away, or it may be that Xia Bing's identity has changed too much, which makes him involuntarily and a little emotional.

It's like parents watching their children grow up. In the joy, I also feel that my role is getting smaller and smaller.

Xia Bingma was shocked, and said very seriously: "One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father." Whether a student is a finance minister or not, the principal is always the principal of the student. ”，

Seeing Xia Bing's posture, Zuo Peng's heart also swelled up with a little emotion. Say no more, and take them out of here.

However, they were not riding in a horse-drawn carriage, but a steam car jointly developed by the Daming Research Institute and the Department of Transportation.

Although the Ming Dynasty was the first country to put it into practical use, its invention was not the first to appear. It was 1769, and the Frenchman N. J. Cuniu built the world's first steam-powered three-wheeled car. And the car was named "Kabuore".

Its car length is 7.32m, the height of the car is 2.2m, the frame is placed with a large boiler like a pear, the diameter of the front wheel is 1.28 meters, the diameter of the rear wheel is 1.50 meters, the direction is controlled by the front wheels when moving forward, and every 12~15min needs to be stopped and heated for 15min, and the running speed is 3.5~3.9km/h.

Later, in 1771, a second steam car was built. Although due to technical reasons, I didn't really run. However, his invention is a watershed between ancient transportation (powered by people, animals or sails) and modern transportation (driven by power machinery), which is of epoch-making significance.

A few years ago, the Daming Intelligence Department took Ju Niu from France to Daming despite his advanced age of more than 60 years. Although in terms of theoretical knowledge and vision, his knowledge reserves are not as good as those of the Ming technicians who have crossed over from modern times.

But in terms of practical ability, he is far beyond the average Ming technician. After all, in such a humble environment, he can make real things. It is enough to prove that his practical ability is strong.

Therefore, with the cooperation of modern automobile theory and several technicians who are proficient in the principles of automobiles, he finally built a steam car that could be put into practical use in the middle of '97.

Then after trial and error, after overcoming a variety of real life, the car is prone to small problems. It was only last month that it was officially put on the market.

Since this is a mechanical kinetic locomotive developed based on the steam engine. There is a world of difference from the previous improved carriage. So as soon as it appeared, it attracted a lot of attention.

But despite the attention, the sales of cars are pitifully low. And in the middle, most of them are officially led by the Ming Dynasty. Civil society, on the other hand, had little response.

One is unfamiliarity with steam cars. As a result, the coachmen were reluctant to replace the improved carriages. The other is the price of steam cars, which are too expensive. Just an ordinary small six-seater car costs more than 100,000 yuan. Coupled with the follow-up maintenance fee, it has been sky-high.

Only ordinary private enterprises with strong financial resources and giant businessmen have this financial power, and other ordinary people do not have this spending power.

So there is still a long way to go before you can fully promote the market.

Fortunately, the sales direction of steam cars is aimed at large private enterprises and state-controlled state-owned enterprises. Therefore, the result of the cold in the private market has long been expected. And because of the maximum capacity of steam cars, it can reach ten tons.

So at present, the main use of steam cars is concentrated on transporting goods. It is used to transport passengers, which is very rare.

However, in order to take care of his own people, Yang Chong waved his pen and equipped the high-level Ming executives in important positions with expensive steam cars as means of transportation.

Seeing this, some people with status in the society also followed the trend to buy.

So that at present, such a passenger steam car has completely become a symbol of status. When driving on the street, the return rate is 100%.

Also in terms of convenience, the steam car is better than the modified horse-drawn carriage. And the comfort is greatly improved, too. Even off the rails, the steam car was not as bumpy as a horse-drawn carriage.

It's just that the disadvantages are also obvious. That's the speed of a steam car, which can't catch up with a horse-drawn carriage. And because of the movement generated by the car when driving, it causes strong noise pollution.

Therefore, it is still not as good value for money as it is for transporting passengers.

However, it is foreseeable that with the maturity of the technical conditions of the Ming Dynasty, the invention and application of the internal combustion engine. Sooner or later, the disadvantages of the car will slowly fill in or even overtake.

Thus, in the distant future, it will completely replace the horse-drawn carriage and become the most popular means of transportation.

At this time, in the car, Nanxi looked around curiously. Zhang Xiao and the others also looked at the layout of the car as if they were strange.

Compared with the car in my memory, the layout of the car is relatively simple. And the seats, are relative. Just like the common three-wheeled motorcycle in the countryside, sitting opposite each other.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao helped Wang Yanran hold Nanxi in his arms to prevent Nanxi from being bruised and falling while driving.
