Chapter 1354 The World's First Automobile
"Haven't you ever thought about who sent us here? What exactly is their purpose? It can't be just a coincidence, right? I don't believe in chance as a liberal arts student, but you believe it as a science student? Chu Aojun said.
"I thought about it at first, but I thought about it too much, and then I didn't want to think about it at all, and I just let it be a bird." Xiao Chen's way of facing this problem is to avoid it.
Or else?
"I see you're so happy!" Chu Aojun has always wanted to go back, she doesn't like this world.
"Enjoy it, be at peace with what you encounter, my motto is also." Xiao Chen also wants to go back, and he doesn't want to go back, but this is not a question of what he wants at all, he can't help himself!
"I think you're greedy for riches and power." Chu Aojun said angrily, "There are also beautiful women!" ”
Chu Aojun has been here these days, but he has also heard a lot of scandals about Xiao Chen, after all, Chiba Ling, Li Zhixian, and Nako Kudo are all very gossipy, and when they get together, they talk about this.
"Cut, who is not greedy for wealth and power? Do you dare to say you don't like handsome guys? Xiao Chen said.
"That's not your kind either!" Chu Aojun said.
"Ouch, hey, then I thank you, Ang!" Xiao Chen said, "There are too many girls who like me now, I can't handle it, and if you like me too, it's a big trouble." ”
"I didn't expect you to be so thick-skinned." Chu Aojun has always regarded him as a gentleman.
"Can you be the boss if you don't have thick skin?" Xiao Chen said, "This kid is so nervous, it's my turn to have a good time, let's go, I'll take you to drag racing!" ”
"How's it going?" Wu Xiuping, who was intercepted, was not happy enough, and his face was excited. In fact, he had already test-driven countless times, but this time it was in full view of everyone, facing countless admiring eyes, which naturally felt very different, not too good.
"I'll have to take it for a test drive myself...... Where's the throttle? Xiao Chen pulled him down and sat in the driver's seat by himself.
"It's not the throttle because it's not a petrol-burning car...... Hey, don't scold, I'm not going to explain the basic operation to you, okay, this is the accelerator, this is the brake, this is the steering wheel, reversing? Don't make a fuss, how can there be reversing? Wu Xiuping explained to him in detail.
"It's too shabby, isn't it, and will the boiler in the back explode?" Xiao Chen felt that the car was vibrating too much, and the sound from the boiler behind it was also quite weird, can you guarantee this safety issue?
"It's not going to explode, it's not that much pressure." Wu Xiuping got out of the car and closed the door, "But there is still the possibility of deflagration, the coal is not strong enough, I added a lot of accelerant in it......"
There is no reverse gear, there is no acceleration gear, step on the accelerator and go, it is an automatic transmission, because it is a sample car, so it has not pretended to be a driver's building, as soon as you step on the accelerator, the black smoke that suddenly protrudes from the back is particularly choking!
But it's a little better to walk......
It's not much better, because the car doesn't pretend to have a shock absorption system, and although the wheels are rubber, there are no inflated inner tires, which are solid, and people follow the upside down when this special car walks!
Rao is Xiao Chen has deep internal skills, and his hands were slightly numb from the steering wheel, and he took it off several times.
This is still a flat gravel road, if it is a bumpy mountain road and you don't have the strength to do it, I'm afraid that it will be blown out by this time!
No wonder Chu Aojun refused to accompany him to race to death, and even Ling'er, who had always liked this kind of thing the most, refused his kindness...... It's not fun.
But it should be said that the speed is okay, the speed reached 30 kilometers per hour when the throttle was pressed halfway, and the horsepower is still quite strong, at least dozens of horses.
It should be no problem to load four or five tons of cargo in the back compartment, and after loading the goods, the car will definitely run relatively smoothly.
The endurance of the coal engine is also quite good, and a stove of high-heat charcoal can burn for about an hour, which is already very remarkable.
So when Xiao Chen walked out of the car with a sore face and a sore arm, the big guys all burst into fierce applause, not for him, but for Wu Xiuping!
Even Li Zhixian's eyes were wrong when he looked at Wu Xiuping, Wu Xiuping at this moment was the most beautiful cub in the world!
What a god-like man......
Xiao Chen also congratulated him, Xiuping, your kid will definitely be written into the history books in the future! But don't be proud, make persistent efforts and create new achievements, now it is a car, and in the future it will be a ship, an airplane, a satellite, a spaceship......
But before that, can you strengthen the damping system? In addition, you have to add a power assist system to the steering wheel, otherwise this car will not be able to drive ten miles except Xiao Ye!
It belongs to the egg to pick the bone.
The old man who witnessed this miracle was extremely happy, he had always been stingy, and he was so generous that he rewarded Wu Xiuping with 10,000 taels of silver as a bonus on the spot! In fact, this is just a formal encouragement, because the value created by Wu Xiuping cannot be measured by gold and silver at all!
But then again, up and down Yanyun County, including Xiao Chen, who has ever won the old man's reward? Even the madman, Liu Fuhai, and Gongsun Ban didn't take it. So 10,000 pieces of silver, although it is only a drizzle, is a supreme glory!
That night, it was rare to pay out of his own pocket, and put on a feast at home to celebrate Wu Xiuping's achievements!
The madman doesn't care, but Liu Fuhai is quite dissatisfied, the old man is too eccentric, the hot air balloon I invented is no worse than the car that was repaired, but the old man not only did not reward him, but he didn't even have a word of praise!
But he also has to admit that Wu Xiuping's invention is really amazing, and nothing else, the main thing is that the engine is really awesome!
Not only can it be used in automobiles, but it can also be used for many other purposes, including the power system of hot air balloons.
However, the engine is too bulky, and it also needs to carry a lot of charcoal, and the safety cannot be guaranteed, so I hope that Xiuping can continue to improve.
However, ships are not afraid of being bulky, and the most advanced warships in the world do not have such mechanical functional systems, and mainly rely on sails and human power, so if the engine can be modified to the ship......
It may take some time.
In the middle of the banquet, Xiao Yu suddenly slipped in quietly and reported to Xiao Chen that he had caught a suspicious guy outside the Governor's Palace, this guy was sneaky and not a good person, and his hands were very hard, and some of the brothers were injured when they arrested him.
But when he was interrogated just now, he said that he was not an assassin, but came after reading the boss and your job list......
Boss, do you want to meet him?
