Chapter 137: Human Autonomous Control of Two-Wheeled Vehicles

"Why is it that the O-German Holy See and the Witch Hunters' Association can tolerate the ability to live in human society, and wizards are not allowed to exist, and can only hide away from the town. ā€

"Is it because wizards and witches do not follow the rules set by the Holy See, and all those who do not follow the rules are called wizards, so the Holy See should count all the evils in society that should not appear on the wizards?"

Bill is so confused that he doesn't even know the difference between himself and the able, and why Shadow also says he's a wizard.

ā€œ...... I don't know, although I usually follow you and can see a lot of things that you can't see, but I don't know more about the truth of this world than you do. ā€

"Regardless of whether or not you decide to get involved in the coal core, Bill, you must be careful, don't communicate with me in such a dangerous way in the future, I will find another way to convey the message to you. ā€

"I believe that one day we will find the source of our pain and make it go away forever!"

Shadow Bill's eyes and mouth slowly closed, the candle flame was extinguished in an instant, and a wisp of white smoke quickly disappeared into the darkness.

After returning to bed, Bill still changed into formal clothes and went out, after such a long delay, he needed to see Lao Wei as soon as possible to discuss the issue of a new steam locomotive.

As for the Holy See, he still intends to follow the principle of avoiding as much as possible.

He didn't think about what he wanted to do to the Holy See for the time being, and he definitely didn't want the Holy See to take the initiative to trouble him.

The emergence of coal cores can greatly promote social progress, as long as the Holy See does not discover that this energy source is essentially related to mysterious forces, as a beneficiary of new technology, no one wants to live forever in the Stone Age.

Moreover......

The emergence of coal cores will promote the innovation of weapons, and Bill does not believe that there will be a person with the ability to destroy anything more than nuclear weapons, and he does not even have to wait for the appearance of weapons as powerful as nuclear weapons, a few tons of TNT are enough.

There are weaknesses in all abilities, just like Bill's own fear of the sun, so the Holy See of Ode will not let him talk about the tiger.

After getting dressed and walking down the stairs, Esther sat on the sofa with an angry face, sipping the leftover red wine, and her face was ruddy and cute.

Bill walked up to her with an eyebrow and snatched the bottle.

"Red wine is not drunk like this, and you have ruined the good wine that has been stored for ten years. ā€

"I—I don't want you to care, you see what I'm disgusting and come here for, go away!"

"I know I'm just a hillbilly from the countryside, and I'm not worthy of you at all, even if I can't do well as a servant, but you can't insult me, I'm also dignified!"

Esther was completely drunk, she snatched the bottle from Bill's hand, drank most of the remaining red wine, burped, and collapsed on the couch with the bottle.

Frowning, Bill had no choice but to let her go home and go to Brittus alone.

The Central District has been opened by train to the city, and Bill arrives in a horse-drawn carriage to the North End of the capital, which is still as dilapidated as ever, unchanged from the ever-changing Central District.

Still, the inhabitants were smiling, even though their faces seemed to be getting worse.

Casually ask someone about Lao Wei's residence, and the enthusiastic North District people personally led Bill to the door of Lao Weifang, which is a bungalow with a large yard, although the area is large, but it is full of broken copper and iron and discarded mechanical parts.

Just as Bill knocked on the door, a sudden sound came from the courtyard, accompanied by thick smoke.

After a while, Lao Wei finally opened the door, his face was black and mushy, and his body was covered with yellow and greasy lubricating oil.

"I'm sorry, I was just delayed by a little accident...... Bill!"

"You're finally coming to me, please come in!"

When William saw Bill, he was more excited than he was to see his loved ones he hadn't seen in years, and Bill walked into the courtyard, where a huge model of a steam locomotive was placed in the middle of the courtyard.

This model of a steam car assembled from scrap metal is beginning to take shape, and it bears a slight resemblance to the blueprints Bill drew for Willy.

And a little west of the yard, the two-wheeled car was really made by Lao Wei, although it was only the wheel of the discarded steam car, the steel pipes and gears were perfectly spliced to the wheel, and there was a rusty chain coated with lubricating oil.

"Lao Wei, did you make this two-wheeler?"

"Well, yes, I get a lot of inspiration thanks to the ideas you provide. ā€

Shawn was a little proud and began to introduce Bill to his creative process.

"Based on the design ideas you gave me, I tried many ways but couldn't find a suitable place to place a steam engine on the two-wheeler that would be large enough to carry the weight of an adult and the weight of the locomotive itself, so I went the other way and scrapped the idea of using coal for energy. ā€

"These two-wheelers don't need a steam engine, they just need to be pedaled manually to turn. ā€

"Since a person can subjectively control the direction and at the same time provide power to the two-wheeled vehicle, as long as it starts to run, it will not fall, so I gave it a name, called the human-controlled two-wheeled vehicle. ā€

With that, Wei took the 'human-controlled two-wheeled bicycle' off the stand and rode on it to demonstrate to Bill.

"You're a genius!"

Bill was not shy about his praise for Lao Wei.

Although this thing is a bicycle, even four-wheeled vehicles have just been created in this era, and as long as this kind of 'human autonomous control two-wheeled vehicle' applies for monopoly protection, the manufacturing and sales power of bicycles will be in the hands of Bill and Lao Wei in the future.

Because the manufacturing cost of the bicycle is very low, it is very suitable for ordinary company employees who do not have much money to commute to work.

Moreover, with the bicycle as a template, coupled with the steam engine dedicated to the coal core, it is believed that the steam motorcycle will also be available in the near future.

"Okay Lao Wei, you come down first, I have more important things to tell you. ā€

"Okay!"

Lao Wei was even happier when he got Bill's approval, and he parked the human-controlled two-wheeler in front of the house, jumped out of the car and invited Bill to come in.

Lao Wei's house, like his appearance and character, was full of worn-out clocks and screws.

The greasy ground feels like it sticks to the soles of your shoes, and the kerosene lamp is placed on the only clean table, which is the place where Lao Wei creates the design.

Somewhat embarrassed, two benches were moved, and Williams invited Bill to take a seat.

"Bill, what important thing do you have to tell me?"

Looking at Bill expectantly, Lao Wei believed that the man in front of him would surprise him every time.

Bill quickly retrieved Shawey's letter from his bosom.

"It's ......"

Lao Wei was a little confused, he took the envelope and opened it, Bill had already explained directly.

"Inside is the loan certificate and withdrawal slip of the Barclays Trust Bank, as well as the address of the machinery factory that the noble lord greeted in advance. ā€

"Lao Wei, our vision is about to come true, and it will be more perfect than we imagined. ā€

"We'll have our own machine shop soon!"
