Chapter 34: Fully autonomous driving

After the thieves were arrested, the Sang family immediately came with news, hoping that Huo Guang would go to the Jiaodong Salt Field as soon as possible.

The previous leisurely time suddenly became hurried, and Huo Guang had to rush back to prepare his luggage that day.

"Take some money with you, don't grieve yourself on the way." Huo Zhongru explained bitterly, he was still a little worried about Huo Guang's first time going out.

Early the next morning, Huo Guang came to the door of Sang's house, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw three steel horses.

Driven by curiosity, he involuntarily walked up to the money, only to see that the little servant of the Sang family seemed to recognize Huo Guang, and hurriedly saluted: "Huo Gongzi." ”

"What are you doing?" Huo Guang pointed to the frame in his hand, if Huo Guang was not mistaken, it should be coal.

"Huo Gongzi, this is coal, today you want to set off for Jiaodong, you have to ride a steel horse, the head of the family ordered me to add enough coal, so as not to have enough on the road."

The coal was put to the mouth of the steel horse, and the steel horse opened his mouth and swallowed it in three or two clicks, crunchy chicken flavor.

This made Huo Guang feel that this thing was really a bit magical, it really ate coal, and he couldn't wait to see what kind of structure it was inside, what working principle it was, could there be an engine in it? Or a steam engine? When the coal enters, it burns internally to generate power?

According to Huo Guang's knowledge, coal can be converted into heat and power, so as to drive the workmanship, but there is a magical Qi in this world, so everything cannot be explained by common sense.

Huo Guang carefully looked at the steel horse this time, and couldn't even find anything like a rivet with a link, which made him very puzzled.

After a while, Sang Hongyang walked out: "Ah Guang, what are you looking at?" ”

"I'll study the steel horse, it's amazing."

"The creation of mechanical beings that have conquered the heavens and the earth is indeed magical."

Ganfu walked over to the steel horse, patted the horse on the back, and said, "It takes a lot of effort to make this thing, but ordinary people don't. After speaking, he looked at Huo Guang.

Huo Guang leaned in: "Gan Fuzi, you see I call you Master, why don't you teach me?" Hey. ”

"Your qualifications are too dull to learn." Ganfu said mercilessly.

Don't want to teach me, you still tell me these things intentionally or unintentionally, Huo Guang secretly scolded this old guy for his bad intentions.

Sang Jin walked out, cloaked and hated.

Sang Hongyang said: "This time we set off to Jiaodong, a total of three steel horses, just the three of you, go and return quickly, to avoid extraneous branches." ”

"Sang Jin Aguang listens to Ganfu in everything, Ganfu, I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry."

Ganfu is very confident, and Sang Hongyang is also very reassuring to him.

"Get on the horse."

As Ganfu spoke, Huo Guang rode the steel horse with some excitement, this was the first time he had ridden a mechanical creature.

"How do you ride?" Huo Guang was a little confused as he pulled the reins, and he was whipped like any other horse when he rode a steel horse? It seems a bit silly to hit the iron pimple.

Ganfu shouted, "Let's go." ”

As soon as Qi turned around the three steel horses, the horses walked up automatically, and the slight sound of metal rubbing could be heard, and Huo Guang instinctively thought of applying some butter.

All the friction, as long as the oil is applied, will be much smoother.

Riding an iron horse, he went out of the city first while there were few people, and the people of the Stick Gang saw Huo Guang going out of the city and reported to Zhu Youcai: "Boss, the kid surnamed Huo went out of the city with the people of the Sang family." ”

Zhu Youcai's eyes narrowed slightly: "This kid has let go of cruel words before, I don't know what to do, he didn't give us salt to cooperate, he turned his head and hugged the thigh of the Sang family, hum." Apparently he was rather resentful.

"Boss, we can't afford to mess with the Sang family."

"Can Sang Hong sheep stay in Xiahe County?" has already torn his face, and Huo Guang has not taken salt from him these days.

"What do you mean, Boss?"

"Let's go and inquire first, where are they going out of town?"

"Okay."

……

Out of the city, the speed of the steel horse accelerated a lot, Huo Guang only felt the feeling of galloping, and when he got on the wide national highway, the speed increased again.

The width of the national highway is about three to four lanes, the dirt road is still a little potholed, and the steel horse feels uncomfortable after the speed increases, although there is a saddle, but the violent bumps make people feel like vomiting.

Suddenly, a fresh breeze came, and it was Qi.

Ganfu used Qi to control the wind, blocking the oncoming airflow, which made Huo Guang feel a lot more comfortable, and he found that Sang Jin could actually control Qi.

"Why is Sang Jin also a scholar?"

"She's my apprentice and has excellent qualifications." Ganf's voice came through the Qi, but it was used in very large quantities.

The steel horse is like a fully autonomous, speeding quickly along the national highway and the predetermined direction, this speed can indeed travel thousands of miles a day, the only thing Huo Guang needs to do is to tighten the reins, so as not to fall down, and endure a very uncomfortable driving texture.

When I think about it, the cars, trains and other means of transportation in my previous life are much more comfortable than those of steel horses.

At noon, as Ganfu's Qi flowed, the steel horse began to slow down, and finally slowed down for several miles before stopping at a post station.

Looking at the post station in the distance, not far away was a huge and prosperous city, Huo Guang had never seen such a tall city wall, and asked curiously: "Where is that?" ”

"That's Luoyang City."

The two most prosperous cities in the Han Dynasty were Chang'an and Luoyang, when Liu Bang was originally Luoyang, and later moved to Chang'an, so Chang'an and Luoyang were called the two capitals.

Huo Guang didn't have time to appreciate the bustling Luoyang, so he tossed to the side and vomited.

Sang Jin handed over the handkerchief and asked with concern: "Ah Guang, are you okay?" ”

Ah Guang took the handkerchief, but it looked exquisite, and he was reluctant to use it, so he took water and rinsed his mouth by the station.

Ganfu walked to the side and said innocently, "The first time I rode a steel horse, I was not used to it. ”

"Ganfuzi, it took several miles for the steel horse to slow down just now after accelerating to full speed, won't it take too long to do this?"

"It's possible to slow down quickly, but this will wear out the legs of the steel horse, so if it is not an emergency, it will slow down in advance."

Huo Guang understood that the braking of the steel horse completely relied on slow speed reduction, because it did not have brake discs, so the deceleration was very slow.

The legs and torso of the steel horse are hard connected, so the texture of the ride is very poor, but it would be nice if the legs could be made into tire hanging.

Although Huo Guang thought so, he wondered if he could do this, after all, the steel horse was a mechanical creature, could it be changed like this?

Doubts and thoughts, but you must understand the production of the steel horse before you can conduct the experiment, otherwise you will be blind.

Huo Guang turned his eyes to Gan Fu, and he still had to get something out of this old man.
