Chapter 56: Lolita's Motorcycle
"Brilliant design," Juan praised, "just a little bigger." β
Lolita explained; "I put wheels on the steam machine gun, which can be dragged by a lizard."
Muradin Copperbeard added, "We can also put a steam machine gun on the tower as a fixed fire. β
"Great idea, turn back to the Kesselring Pass line, all the towers have to be loaded with this steam machine gun."
Juan added in his heart: This can save a lot of bullets, and they are all alliance coins.
Lolita continued with Juan, pointing to an object covered in canvas and proudly, "This is my latest invention, the steam motorcycle!" β
After the canvas was ripped off, Juan saw a four-wheeler with rubber tires that looked a bit like a beach bike from an old movie.
It can sit two people in front and back with a high erected exhaust pipe at the tail.
Lolita fills the tank of the steam motorcycle, then opens the mechanism at the bottom and puts four reddish crystals inside.
On the instrument panel between the two handles of the steam motorcycle, the hands begin to turn.
"Your Excellency, do you want to try?"
"Brian Copperbeard, don't mess around, this is Your Excellency, not your guinea pig!"
"I'm Lolita!"
"Okay, sister, I'll show the FΓΌhrer."
Lolita had a disdainful look in her eyes: "Brother who will get dizzy when riding a big lizard, can you drive?" β
"I, I can overcome it, dwarves are not afraid of anything!"
Lolita pulled down the goggles from her top hat and put them on her eyes: "I'll do it myself, I'm afraid you'll spoil my baby." β
Just as the brother and sister were arguing, Juan made a decision in his heart:
This dwarven scientist, who calls himself "Lolita", is worth wooing.
Moreover, Juan, who has ridden an air-float motorcycle, does not find it difficult to drive a quad bike.
He laughed and said, "Let me try." β
Muradin's Copperbeard hurriedly stopped: "No, no, Your Excellency, this thing has not been tested and is not safe. β
Lolita sneered, and she said proudly: "I am responsible for my work, it must be safe." β
Juan gently pushed away Muradin Brassbeard's hand, he looked at Lolita with a determined gaze and said, "I believe Miss Lolita. β
So, under the guidance of Lolita, Juan got on a steam motorcycle.
Just as he was about to start, Lolita jumped to her feet and sat in the back seat.
Juan felt his arms wrap around his waist as two soft clumps pressed against his back.
Lolita's voice came from behind Juan: "My life is the promise I make to you. β
Juan smiled: "Hold on, I'm going to start." β
As he spoke, he jerked the handle.
"Woo~!"
The steam motorcycle whizzed and flew out.
"Right!" Lolita gives directions in the back.
Juan turns his direction while leaning to the right to counteract the centrifugal force.
The steam motor drew an arc, turned 90 degrees, and burrowed into an open door in the rock wall.
Behind the door is a dim, narrow tunnel that seems to end as if it were just a point of light.
Juan smelled fresh air, with the smell of moisture.
"Is it okay to keep rushing out?"
"Yes, there's no danger outside."
"I believe in you."
Juan screwed the grip all the way down, and the output of the steam boiler quickly climbed to its maximum.
The rock walls on both sides swept backwards like the wind, and as long as they rubbed a little, it was bound to be a car crash and injury.
Juan felt Lolita's arms tighten and the softness of her back clearer.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Are you afraid?" β
A stubborn and determined female voice came from behind:
"Don't be afraid! I believe you! β
The point of light quickly grew larger, and the dazzling sunlight darkened Juan's eyes.
The steam bike "whew" out of the hole, and he felt like he was flying.
When his eyesight returned to normal, Juan saw the blue lake.
The steam motorbike landed on the beach by the lake, and the soaked sand was solid and flat.
"Woo~!"
The whistle spews white steam, startling the waterfowl that are foraging on the beach.
Juan drove a steam motorcycle, crushing the waves that climbed onto the beach, splashing high and high.
"Ahh Hahaha! β
"One more time, rush!"
"Ahh Hahaha! β
β¦β¦
The pressure on Hu An'an's head was vented in the frolic.
What orcs are coming, what financial constraints, what alliance investigation bureau, all he left behind.
At this moment, he just wanted to run as fast as he could.
β¦β¦
After having had enough, Juan parked his steam bike in the shade of a tree.
He took Lolita's hand and sat down against a palm-like plant.
Through the shutter-like gaps in the leaves, Juan watched a white cloud, leisurely floating in the blue sky.
"You're now my second trusted human."
"What, I can only come second? So who is the first, Morgan? β
"Of course it's Dr. O, the Dr. O who guided us dwarves on the path of scientific and technological development, that's an amazing human!"
Juan turned his head to look at Lolita, and he noticed that the other party was saying "Dr. O" with a look of adoration in his eyes.
"What the hell did he do?"
"It's a lot," Lolita excited, "but most importantly, he's helped us establish the direction of technology with steam at its core."
"Under Dr. O's guidance, we learned to collect heat energy from human discarded crystals.
"These crystals, which absorb enough heat energy, can boil water quickly, and I gave it a name, 'Red Fang'.
"The small size and reusability of the 'Red Cube' are the core of our development of steam technology......
Lolita chattered, with excitement and pride:
"Dr. O told us that we now have a weak foundation and cannot reach the current scientific and technological height of mankind in one step, so we must start from the foundation and accumulate experience step by step.
Dr. O said that this is how human beings have come step by step.
"Starting with Watt's invention of the steam engine, it entered the industrial age, then there were steam turbines to generate electricity, it entered the electric age, and then there was steam propulsion, and then it entered the cosmic age......"
"Wait a minute, I know about the steam engine and the steam turbine, but what about the steam thruster?"
"Using the huge thrust generated by the expansion of steam to send a spaceship into space, isn't this the first way you humans went into space?"
"This, I guess, is a nuclear-powered ship."
"That's your current technology, Dr. O said, this level of technology requires a lot of accumulation to achieve, not something that the current dwarves can do.
"Dr. O told us that we have to keep our feet on the ground when it comes to scientific research, and that any idea of leapfrogging will eventually lead to disastrous consequences......
Juan leaned his head back on the trunk of the tree and turned his gaze to the sea on the other side.
He looked like he was admiring the view, but he was actually avoiding Lolita's gaze.
Because Juan didn't want Lolita to see the doubt in his eyes, he didn't want to destroy the trust that had been built.
This Dr. O, what the hell is he trying to do?!
