273. Here Comes the Tractor!4
"Good work, you have worked hard, and I will tell you about it when I return to Galia!" Philip nodded, and then returned the salute to Delia.
After the ceremony, Philip and the elven princess met each other again, and the man winked at the elf girl in a funny way, causing Delia's little face to turn red as if she was drunk.
Every time he finished talking about business, Philip would always want to tease this lovely girl, and he was used to it.
There was a cold breath behind him again, and Philip suddenly remembered that this was not the Doge's palace in Galia, but outside the gates of Bithynia. It's not an empty office either, but a public place with his fiancΓ©e and lover.
Thankfully, Francis' voice saved Philip.
"Great, great, Princess Delia brought the tractor here. β
Francis sighed in joy and patted his chest with his hand, looking very relieved.
From time to time, the old marquis's eyes drifted to the flatbed carriage drawn by two majestic horses, as if to see through the heavy tarp and see what was underneath.
Not only him, but a large group of nobles flocked to Philip, complimenting Philip or Delia loudly, and looking at the carriage with a look of hope......
"Open it up and let everyone see!"
With Philip's order, the warriors drew their long knives from their waists in unison, aimed their sharp blades at the finger-thick hemp rope, and pulled them up with all their might, and the taut ropes struggled to disperse like worms writhing indiscriminately.
"Wow!
The sound of the tarp shaking tickled the hearts of the nobles, and each layer of cloth was peeled off. Their hearts beat a little faster, and they seemed to look forward to the dark cloth going down to the ground.
Finally, when the last layer of tarpaulin was lifted, the nobles almost held their breath.
The two big round eyes, larger than the eyes of a giant dragon, are abruptly clamped on the square nose of the machine, which looks extremely cute.
The grid-shaped radiator is like a strange mouth, at the very front of the nose, with thousands of small holes facing the front, although it is difficult to understand the effect. But I vaguely feel that this is in line with some indescribable truth.
Belts, drive wheels. Attached to the outside of the square head, the gears and bearings can be seen through some hollowed out positions, without a single burr. Shape regular. Meshing tightly. At first glance, you can see that the Tao comes from the hands of skilled craftsmen.
With two handrails angled to the back and two calf-high wheels, it is clear from the appearance that the road is very similar to the structure of the mountain, and it can be pushed up the hillside that anyone can climb.
"Tsk, magical, magical. Franciste put on a pair of gold-rimmed eyes. Leaning in front of the tractor and looking at it carefully, "Although we can't understand the delicate machinery, we can feel a kind of beauty that conforms to the laws of nature from above, although I haven't seen how it works, but I believe that the tractor will definitely surprise me." β
The old guy is urging to show it quickly, Philip secretly said in his heart, these guys who are usually unfathomable in the eyes of civilians must be itching like a cat scratching their hearts now, right?
Philip waved his hand, "Guys, let's see what this tractor is all about!"
Philip instructed the soldiers to lift a mounted tractor from the wagon, and then to a carriage with no tractor but small boxes, and motioned for the soldiers to lift the boxes down and open them.
The white ploughs were neatly arranged in the chests, and the orderly arrangement reflected the rigorous attitude of the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce in the most detail.
Philip took the plow, walked to the front of the tractor, put a finger into a grid hole at the bottom of the radiator, and with a hard pull, a small square about the size of a palm at the bottom of the radiator was pulled open, revealing a small circular hole.
The hole is just enough to insert a long pole behind the iron plough, this small round rod has a thick threaded hole, although Philip is not a mechanical engineer, but the threaded connection of this engineering common sense is still understood, tractors and iron plows used in the mountains are lightweight, do not need too much reinforced structure, the use of threaded connection is enough.
Philip motioned for two escort soldiers to come over, one holding the handrail of the tractor with his hand, and the other holding the heavy iron plough with Philip, spinning in circles in the air and thrust into the tractor.
The tractor, which had been a little cute, suddenly turned into a majestic look, and the plough protruding in front of it was like a sharp weapon, making it look like a beast with sharp teeth, and the sharp blade in front of the plow was stuck in the dirt, as if it was about to break through everything that stood in its way.
"Smack!" Philip's hand slapped heavily on the nose of the machine, "Everyone, you should be familiar with this kind of thing, maybe some people know more than me as a young man, in the past, everyone has seen either with livestock, or with people to pull, today, I let you see a new way of using the plow." β
Philip gently flicked a switch on the tractor's head, and the tractor suddenly vibrated with a sigh, although it was not fueled by diesel or the like, but the mechanical energy output by the magic engine drove the gears and there was still a subtle sound.
The plough blade was buried in the dirt and was constantly carried up by the trembling to bring up a trace of dirt, but it did not move forward and did not suddenly come out of the ground, like a master who contained a powerful momentum but never broke out, ready to strike at any time.
Philip walked to the handrail of the tractor, and the soldier who had been pressing the little steel monster immediately stepped aside and gave up the initiative to Philip.
Philip was now like a general about to give the order to attack, he took a deep breath, turned the handle that was used as a speed regulator, and suddenly there was a forward force in his hand.
Two wheels, thicker than a human thigh, propel the tractor forward, and the plough blade is stuck in the ground, like a warship riding the wind and waves, turning large expanses of dark green dirt out of the ground, and then retreating to the sides by the plow wall.
"Guys, you can hold the handrail of the tractor, now, I'm completely carried away by the tractor, not me pushing such a big pile of steel lumps!"
Philip said with a smile, and immediately an old nobleman with gray hair walked up to the money. Philip motioned for the old nobleman to hold the armrest, and Philip stepped aside, controlling only the speed spinner at the handle.
"Oh my God! it's really moving with me!"
The old nobleman turned his head in surprise and said to the other nobles around him, his old mouth with a tooth turned upwards like a child getting a new toy.
More nobles gathered around, and they all got the same feeling as the old nobles, they didn't have to exert much effort, but they were dragged forward by a powerful force.
"But, my lord, there seems to be a problem!"
There was someone among the nobles who wanted to say. But there is a bit of a desire to say and stop.
Philip pouted helplessly. He hated this attitude of the nobles the most, and he obviously wanted to express his opinion, but he put on a posture of "You have a very high status, I dare not criticize you." β
No way. He is also a nobleman. One of the nobles with the highest status in the future. Something must be done that conforms to the rules of the game in aristocratic circles.
The smile on Philip's face remained unchanged, and he said with a look of "I'm generous, I won't blame it": "Please speak." β
"Your Excellency. This tractor doesn't seem to be very convenient to turn, you see, it's all iron, and it takes a lot of effort to push it to turn!" the nobleman turned the handrail hard, and his face turned red, but he couldn't turn it.
"Well, yes, you have a good question, what's your name?"
"Cyril. The nobleman nodded and said, seemingly excited that the envoy could make an inquiry.
Small sample, tell you to pick thorns, all the defective tractors will be sold to you in the future, and the money you can buy one is enough for people to buy two, no, three!
The slander in his heart naturally didn't say, Philip Ha Luha smiled, "Your Excellency Cyril, don't worry, we have already thought about this problem." β
Philip kicked one of the pedals on the tractor, and a fist-sized wheel immediately fell from the nose of the tractor, which, when viewed from behind, was right in the center of the tractor.
With a gentle push of the handrail of the tractor, the all-iron tractor immediately changes direction without much effort.
"Everyone, this thing is built to be used, how can it cause trouble for everyone?" Philip stretched out his hand and motioned for Cyril to rotate, just like Philip just swung up, Cyril gently pushed the handrail, and the steering wheel in front of the fuselage immediately changed direction, forming a forward trajectory, and then driving the two large driving wheels behind to change direction, and finally made the entire tractor change direction.
"Gentlemen and ladies, how to use the tractor, you must have a preliminary impression in your heart, but there are many mountains here in Bitinia, and whether our tractor is good or not depends on whether it can climb the mountain. β
With a push of the handle, Philip drove the tractor towards a small hill next to Ankud.
The hill doesn't look tall, but Philip visually measured it, and the height of a fifteen or sixteen-story building is always there, and if this is on earth, just climbing stairs will exhaust a person, let alone carrying farm tools.
I saw Philip pushing the tractor, and without even stopping the iron plough at the nose, he walked directly to the top of the mountain, and behind Philip was a long and deep ditch.
With the slope, Philip first felt a little blocked, and then, pressing down with both hands, the head and the iron plow were slightly cocked, and began to move forward in a slope towards the hill, avoiding straight forward, so that the whole machine was plunged directly into the hill.
"Master Philip, just go up like that?" asked Francis, surprised.
"Of course. Philip said as a matter of course.
"This ...... Drag...... Can he drive a tractor that long?"
"Don't worry, the tractor uses magical energy, and it is no problem to replenish it once and run a few times back and forth on this mountain. β
"Magical energy?" Francis's face changed, magical energy, magician, in his impression, everything related to magic was piled up with gold coins.
"My lord, how much does it cost to replenish the magic energy of a tractor?"
"Don't worry, it won't cost much. Philip said lightly, "Do you know about our Gallia's Magic Network?"
"Zhilu Dao, this is a magical thing invented by adults, it is said that people who use the magic energy network can spend a few copper coins to light a magic lamp for a whole month, which makes us very envious!"
With the addition of a large number of hydraulic magic energy stations in the whole province of Gali, the cost of the magic energy network has been reduced again, and even if the magic lamp is lit with a few copper coins, the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce still has money to make.
Such a low cost of using magical energy. Some people have already started to use magic energy to do other things, such as heating, anti-theft, or driving magic circles to do other things.
Now that it seems a bit inappropriate to use the energy of a magic lamp to count the amount of magic energy used, the Electrical Magic Chamber of Commerce has considered a new metering method.
An institution similar to the envy and hatred of the planet, the Electricity Bureau, is already in the works.
Of course, there will be no more such names as the Electricity Authority in Galia.
"I'm going to let the magic energy network into Bithynia, these tractors will be able to use the magic energy network to recharge in the future, and your Excellency the Marquis can rest assured that you will be able to use the cheap magic energy that the Galian people can use. In the future, the magic energy network of the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce needs your strong support......"
Relax and chat about the day. At the same time, Philip was pushing the tractor up the hill. It's like a group of people happily picnic in the mountains.
Philip pushed the tractor in front, and the nobles chatted casually in the back, and the expression on his face became brighter and brighter, like an old rich man. I saw more and more gold coins piled up in my storeroom.
Now. Enlightened. Philip was in front of him with blue sky and white clouds, and the fresh air was refreshing.
Press down on the tractor and release the handle. Philip pointed to the long ditch that winded from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our masterpiece, we have dug this mountain from the bottom to the top, do you still have any doubts that the tractor cannot cultivate the fertile land for you on the mountain?"
"Sir, tell me, how much does this tractor cost?
Cyril, who had just refuted Philip, took out the checkbook from his hand and impatiently rushed to Philip's face.
Now Philip has become the god of glittering wealth in the eyes of these nobles, and the advent of the tractor will be able to fill the uncultivated Yellow Mountains of Bithynia, and these nobles who have owned these mountains since the beginning of the founding of Burgas will be able to increase their wealth by at least half.
All of this is thanks to Philip!
Soon, the worshiped envoy was drowned in a flood of cheques......
"Hey, Brother Gerald. β
"Hello, Brother Langton!"
"Hello, Big Brother Gerald. β
"Hello, Brother Miles. β
Walking on the familiar mine road, Gerald tried to put a smile on his face, greeting the miners, his boots were already full of dust at some point, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his sweat, and what was even more uncomfortable was that these miners had happy smiles on their faces.
Chaos, the most important point is that some people are dissatisfied, everyone lives a happy life, how can you provoke the dissatisfaction of others?
One, two, Gerald thought it was a coincidence.
Three, four, five......
Gerald's heart sank, and the uncomfortable feeling became more and more intense.
What's wrong with this, did you win the lottery collectively?
Pulling down the brim of his hat, Gerald looked left and right, and when he saw that no one recognized him, he walked quickly to a small cabin, quickly took a small key from his coat pocket, opened the door and dodged in.
"Karen, kiss the baby!"
Gerald's voice was full of ambiguity and anticipation, he took off his clothes, unbuttoned his shirt, and walked to the bedroom with a familiar approach, and he had the impression that there should be a seductive young woman lying on the bed.
As soon as Gerald entered the bedroom, his hands were still in the position of the collar buttons, but the whole person suddenly froze, and the young woman did not show a large white breast, as he expected, and looked at him with seductive eyes, but dressed neatly, and sat coldly on a wooden chair, looking at Gerald as if she were a stranger.
"Uh...... Baby Karen, are you not feeling well? Aunt is here, I remember you only came last week!"
Karen's eyes were still very cold, seeing that Gerald was a little uncomfortable, his face suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, took out a small money bag from his trouser pocket, and handed it to Karen: "Baby, there is no money to use, right? Come, I have some money here, you can use it." β
"Ding Dong!"
The impact of a coin makes a pleasant crunch sound, but it is not so wonderful when it hits a person's face.
Gerald covered his aching cheeks and yelled at the young woman, "Are you crazy? Stupid woman, if it weren't for me, what would you do to support your family with your man's dead salary, and your paralyzed brother would have no money to buy medicine!"
"Gerald, you don't have to worry about this, Eurasia's salary has increased by fifty percent now than before, and now we have a gold coin every month, although it is not rich, but even if it is to buy medicine for my brother, it is enough for us to barely make ends meet, in the future, you are no longer welcome here, please leave the key when you go out!" Karian stared at Gerald and said, there seemed to be a fire in her eyes that wanted to burn the man.
"Salary?a gold coin?"
Thinking of the happy smiles of the miners along the way, Gerald suddenly grasped something in his mind, and he stepped forward and asked loudly: "Do you mean that the salary has been raised? Is it a salary increase for Eurasia or a salary increase for all?"
"Of course everyone, what? Are you still going to lie to other women? Brother Gerald!Don't worry, there aren't many women in the entire Beishan Mine who will need your filthy gold coins now, and we can live on our husbands now, and we don't have to lick your ugly disgusting things against our will!" the woman's sarcastic voice completely interrupted Gerald's last fantasies.
Gerald, who was still frowning when he came in, turned around and was about to walk out, or Karlian didn't want her scandal to be exposed, so she coldly put on Gerald's pants, buttoned up her clothes, and then pushed the door down at once.
Outside, the sky was still hot, but Gerald felt like he was walking in an ice cave, so cold that his brain froze into ice. (To be continued......)
