Chapter 219: Night Tour of Oriental Harbor

Jacqueline had often had the opportunity to land in the past, such as visiting her own sister with the permission of her father, and she had been to the Yaning continent many times. When she was in Yaning, her sister would often take her to patrol the territory in a carriage - the truth is to find a chance to hang out, after all, nothing is interesting in the stuffy palace. When it comes to carriages, Yaning still has them, and their four-horse carriage can not only easily carry six people, but also move quickly under the traction of two to four horses.

As she guessed, Xiao Jing got into the car and grabbed the wheel with both hands, and then flicked several strange-looking poles, and then there was a very strange "click" sound from the bottom of the car. Jacqueline couldn't help but look down in horror, but there was the floor beneath her feet, and the place where the sound came from seemed to be still under the floor. Just as she was getting better, the saddle suddenly gave her a small sense of inertia, and with her experience of riding in the carriage many times, she could guess that it was the car that was beginning to move. Looking up, sure enough, the car was slowly retreating, and then looked at Xiao Jing, who was holding the wheel and slowly spinning, without the slightest hard expression, but a little leisurely holding the wheel with one hand and leaning against the door with the other.

The effect of the Stirling engine at this moment had begun to surprise Jacqueline, the car itself was not too loud, except for the strange clatter of the wheels all the time, except for the strange clattering sound of the wheels running over the ground.

Although all the patriarchs knew that tires should be used for the wheels of the car, there was still no way to do it, even if Sun Bin's Oriental Farm planted the rubber seedlings brought at the beginning, but the rubber tapping thing was not urgent, even if it was the fastest, it would not be possible until three to four years later. And the most painful thing is that the seedlings brought are only fifty, according to the standards of the old world, it is only more than one acre, even when it is time to be able to tap rubber, it is only about 100 kilograms per mu, and it will take about ten years to reach 200 kilograms per mu. Moreover, although the location of the Oriental Port belongs to the tropics, it is relatively close to the Tropic of Cancer, and it is now the Xiaoice period, and the average annual temperature cannot meet the requirements of rubber trees, so the growth of rubber trees is relatively slow. The only solution to this situation is to go south and find islands near the equator where rubber trees can be planted on a large scale, but this is also a goal that will not be achieved in the short term. Therefore, until this goal is achieved and a large amount of rubber is tapped, all vehicles in the Senate will still be driven only on hardwood wheels.

Jacqueline watched with interest as the car drove backwards in the yard for a short while, and Xiao Jing carefully turned the wheel, then a lever, and then continued to move the wheel in front of the saddle. She now understands that the role of this wheel is not to generate traction, but to control the direction, how the patriarch of this country turns that wheel, and which direction the car will turn, very easily. She was about to speak, but Xiao Jing pulled a switch, and saw a light on the roof of the car. Jacqueline guessed that the lamp should serve a similar purpose to the common lights of ships, and should be used to illuminate the road. However, the lamp was not quite the same as the one she usually saw, and the lamp was shrouded in a strange cover, leaving only an opening in the direction of progress. There are mirrors inside the lamp, which reflect the light and illuminate the road about ten meters in the direction of travel, not to mention looking at people, even if a mouse runs past, you can see it clearly.

"That's great, can I add a few sets to myself?" Xiao Jing didn't reply, "Of course you can, this is originally one of the export materials, and it is not in the control materials project." ”

"What about perfume? You...... You know. Jacqueline said a little embarrassed. Of course, Xiao Jing knew what she meant, and smiled, "Of course, perfume is also in the export material project, and there is also soap, if you use soap when taking a bath, you can wash it cleaner and people are more comfortable." ”

"So godly?" Jacqueline didn't believe Xiao Jing's words a little, so she asked, "If there is such a god thing, isn't it okay to eat it directly?" What else do you use it to wash and dry? ”

"How is that possible!" Jacqueline hurriedly shook her head to express disbelief, "The illness is due to a curse, if you seriously believe in the emperor, confess to the emperor, and ask the emperor for forgiveness, the illness will be fine." If you continue to disbelieve in the emperor and slander him, you will be punished with more serious illnesses, and finally until death. ”

"No, the disease is cured because the body's immune system is working," Xiao Jing laughed, "When the human immune system detects the appearance of bacteria, it will produce white blood cells to kill the germs that can be found in the body." When white blood cells kill germs, they also die, and they and the dead red blood cell tissue fluid form pus near the wound. ”

The enemy technique of the earth is cold to the enemy

"Oh, I'm sorry to have breached your faith and didn't know you were a Christian." Xiao Jing hurriedly apologized, it was not easy to invite a princess out in this dark time, why should he argue with a god who didn't exist at all?

But Jacqueline is now in this car that claims to be able to walk on its own without being pulled by oxen and horses, and she has heard of this god's self-propelled vehicle many times before coming to Oriental Harbor, and she feels very good about what is pulling this kind of vehicle. As soon as she got in the car, she kept looking down, looking left and right, for fear of missing a clue. But to her disappointment, she couldn't see anything, the car was very similar to Yaning's usual four-wheeled pony carriage, but there was no towing gear, and the seat on her left had a wooden wheel with a special shape, and the wheels were mostly empty, and there were many patterns on the face, which seemed to be used to hold and turn.

Sun Yuan is far away in love with the moon sail of the moon

"Well, I'm actually an atheist......" Xiao Jing's words made Jacqueline feel like she had been struck by lightning and felt like falling into an ice cave, just now she had a lot of speculations about Xiao Jing's beliefs, maybe a Puritan, maybe a Buddhist, but she never thought that he would be an atheist. In her sphere of cognition, different beliefs seem to be the guiding light of different colors in the dark, and heretics are not terrible, heretics are not terrible, but atheists who have no faith at all. But the man in front of her was an atheist, and she felt a little dark in front of her, because she had just begun to have a little affection for him, but he was an atheist who could not be touched, so what should she do? She didn't know if there was a church or a pastor in this Oriental Port, what should she do? She didn't even have a place to ask for the emperor's instructions.

"It's a foreign woman!" "Really!" Several women also exclaimed in surprise when they saw Jacqueline, "Look at it!" As soon as the words fell, they were pulled away by a few male naturalized people around them.

Women often pay attention to other women and what they are wearing, while men basically observe everything, so those male naturalized people saw the patriarchal sleeves on Xiao Jing's cuffs. No wonder it's a new automatic car and a foreign woman, it turns out to be the patriarch, although the patriarchs are not rampant, but who knows if talking nonsense about their female companions will cause trouble?

Xiao Jing glanced at it and explained, "This is a disposable paper bag, used to hold food, they just got off work and brought supper home from the cafeteria to give to the children." ”

At the beginning, the Planning Commission had planned to charge a fee per paper bag to control the use of disposable consumer goods, but it soon found that this could not be done, and the lowest currency face value of the Senate was one cent, and at the moment the purchasing power of the Senate currency was quite high, and every penny could be used for a short bus, and if packing a food product needed to cost almost one-tenth of a day's salary, this was not to control the use of disposable consumer goods, but to prohibit it. At present, the financial sector does not have plans to issue a currency with a lower denomination, so the canteen staff can only manually intervene and deduct a portion of the food from the portion as the cost of packaging.

However, the problem arose again, although the canteen made food according to a certain amount of food every day, the plan was always unchanged, and under the current slogan of the Senate "let everyone have enough", the amount of food produced was always much higher than the actual consumption. Therefore, there will always be a lot of leftovers when it comes to the evening inventory every day, and dealing with these excessive foods has become a worry for the canteen staff, so people who care about late supper will basically get a lot of "bottoming", and then subtract a certain amount of meals with a bottom, which is the same as not reducing, so the naturalized people who pack in paper bags at night generally do not complain that the packaging is too expensive, but complain that the paper bags are too small to pack.
