When the heavy cloth was torn off and dust fell to the ground, a shiny new carriage caught everyone's attention.
After being stunned for a moment, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
His disapproving expression was now a little unbearable.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
They rubbed their eyes vigorously again.
Are they not dazzled? This, isn't this the carriage from the drawing that came to life? !
Placed in front of them was a composite carriage with two independent floors, an upper and lower one, with a clear layout that could accommodate both passengers and cargo.
Although the craftsmen present do not yet understand the specific advantages of this car, they can see that it is special.
Its model is different from the ordinary square or long shape. It looks like a small ship. The chassis and the chassis are connected in an arc, leaving empty spaces. From the side, it looks like it is floating, not the entire body of the vehicle. They all settled firmly on it.
There are also wheels. It is a four-wheeled vehicle, with large and small wheels at the front and rear. Is the purpose of doing this to attract people’s attention, or to attract people’s attention?
But people who know cars are suddenly inspired by its shape. Does this cause a load-bearing feeling in the rear part of the car? The power is placed on the rear part of the body, while the small wheel in the front is responsible for dexterous rotation?
But how was this design achieved? !
The craftsmen also pay attention to appearance. They only think that the fusion of the lacquered wood board and the replica carving makes it look not only rich in texture, but also full of art. If some details are not paid attention to, this is just a wood carving art work.
Craftsmen who are good at structure and layout discovered that a five-step spiral staircase and handrails were specially built on the back side of the carriage, leading directly to the roof.
Is this connected to the roof of the car and used?
They looked up and were surprised to find that there were also rows of seats designed there. Although there was no roof, there were armrests, and there was no problem in seating four to six people.
After reading the styling part, there are some details of the car body. For example, the six-sided windows are not supported by wooden boards, but the two middle sides are hollowed out with landscape wood art as a fixed grid in the middle, and the remaining four sides are covered with clouds. Curtains to keep out wind, snow, rain and dew.
A large area of the car body is covered with red paint, and a lion and a hydrangea are carved on it. The carving is meticulous, and the surface is coated with a small amount of gold paint, creating a conflict and fusion of two independent colors, which makes people's eyes brighten at first sight.
In the school grounds, no one spoke for a long time. They all stared at the dragon car, as if their souls had been sucked away.
They all couldn't believe that such a majestic and complicated car could be made by craftsmen from their country of Ye...
They swallowed and realized that they were so absorbed in watching that their throats were dry and hoarse.
"Look, it looks pretty good."
Someone couldn't control his expression and said something with an extremely awkward expression.
"It does look pretty good..."
Is this not bad?
This is simply excellent!
Just from their unique craftsmanship and models, this has already surpassed all the cars in the Seven Kingdoms, okay?
But they won't admit it.
Because of things like slaps in the face, they will not give up their struggle as long as they can alleviate some of the damage.
Fu Changfeng was also shocked. It was indeed a wooden artifact completed by more than thirty people. It was indeed extraordinary.
He took a deep breath to calm down the turmoil he had just caused.
This car, just by its appearance, is enough to amaze everyone.
but……
"Is this a decoration? It is a carriage. We can admit that it is indeed different, but so what? If it cannot be used as a carriage to pull people for long distances and withstand all kinds of bumps and wear on the road, then it is nothing more than a carriage. It’s just a beautiful ornament!”
Fu Changfeng's words immediately resonated with everyone. They immediately came back from their admiration and raised similar questions.
"Fu Changfeng is right. This carriage has been used to pull people on two wheels for hundreds of years. If the four-wheeled carriage is driven too fast and the road is difficult, it will overturn. Is there any use for them to do this?"
"Yes, you have these fancy second floors. They look good, but aren't they afraid that the whole car will fall apart if it bumps?"
Fu Changfeng didn't like these flashy things, because as long as they were given enough time, the craftsmen could slowly carve out a handicraft.
But this is a device, and its functionality should be far better than its appearance. If it has no actual function, it is a failure.
Thinking of the various criticisms of its running performance before, it was enough to make them suspect that this was actually a carriage that looked very special but was actually a failure.
Mu Gaoyi, Shi Hetong and other craftsmen looked tense, and they were all worried about this issue.
Although the first step was successful, the thing that can really break the disdainful expression on the craftsman's face has not yet been shown...or, is it really there?
Only Zheng Quchi looked calm.
"You are right, it is certainly not a decoration. So I haven't started to introduce to you the differences between it and other countries' cars."
Now Zheng Quchi regards himself as a salesman. If he wants to be recognized by others, he must know the marketing selling points.
"Can you please, General and everyone present, get closer to the carriage?"
This was the first time that Yu Wensheng saw Zheng Quchi working with his own eyes. He was both serious and solemn. He no longer had the usual carelessness. He was responsible for his work and looked generous and wise. Even the shy look in front of him in the past was gone. He was neither humble nor overbearing.
He suddenly seemed to understand that she really liked and respected her identity as a craftsman...
But he didn't understand, how could the job of a hundred workers be compared with that of a general's wife?
She avoided hiding the identity of the general's wife, but once she became a craftsman, she was very happy and uncomfortable among a group of craftsmen.
Wang Zebang and the others looked at the general at the same time. Although they knew what the general's answer would be, they still had to wait for him to speak.
"Okay." Yu Wensheng smiled.
really……
The cadre group headed by the general was all mobilized by Ah Qing. Even if the craftsmen were turned into lemon juice, they did not dare to object, so they could only gather around them together.
But when everyone saw this car up close, it was a different feeling.
It looks like craftsmanship from a distance, but it's even more amazing when you look up close.
There is a saying that the highest praise for a carriage is that as soon as you see it, you can't help but want to sit on it and give it a try.
This car of theirs gives people such a feeling.
Quite titillating.
Zheng Quchi saw the craftsmen poking around and being attracted by everything on the car, so he introduced: "This is a two-story carriage with independent seating design. The bottom compartment can seat four to six people. It is spacious for four people and six people." It is compact, and four people can sit on it, which means that this carriage can carry up to ten people in total."
"There are five steps at the rear wheels here, which go straight up to the second floor. The second step leads to the lower compartment. There are six windows in total..."
"Can people really sit on the roof of the car? But can the car carry so many people at once?"
This can carry more people than the longboard trucks they use to pull goods.
"Is this car comfortable to sit in?"
After introducing the basic situation of the carriage, they thought that it would be uncomfortable to sit on it, and they might be shaken and vomited, and it might even overturn due to the overweight.
Zheng Quchi knew very well the psychological activities of these people.
"After introducing the appearance and internal functions of the carriage, the next step is to test the most important aspects of the carriage. The body is strong, the stability and speed of pulling people and cargo, and whether the people sitting on the carriage are comfortable."
She immediately hit on the key point they wanted to know. Although everyone knew the result, the general and the others didn't know. Seeing her pretending to be serious, they all looked forward to how embarrassed she and her car-building team would be in a while.
"Okay."
"Let's see it."
Wang Zebang asked: "Aqing, how do you want to try?"
Zheng Quchi looked around the group of craftsmen and asked: "How is the carriage? Naturally, it needs to be evaluated by the passengers who have ridden in it. I wonder if anyone is willing to get on the carriage and give it a try in person?"
What?
This shabby, no, this carriage that looks good but has no way to go on the road, you still want to ask them to take risks? !
Bastard, isn't their life a life?
Even if you can't lose your life, if you get injured, it's not a joke.
For a moment, no one answered.
Zheng Quchi: "...Don't worry, it's very safe."
Who believes her guarantee?
Still no one said a word, and they even lowered their heads for fear of being singled out as warriors.
Damn it!
Mu Gaoyi and the others were almost furious when they saw these people's avoidant attitude.
If they hadn't gotten on the bus themselves to conduct the test, it would have made others think that they were cheating in a gang and were not trustworthy at all. They would all want to rush to support and get on the bus themselves.
Seeing that the test could no longer proceed, Yu Wensheng spoke.
The corners of his perfect lips curved with interest, and he said slowly and calmly: "I would like to try such a unique car first."
Fu Rong was immediately shocked: "General!"
He has a good heart.
Come on, General, this thing looks very exciting, but it really doesn't work. Yesterday he and Commander Run saw how crazy it was!
Zheng Quchi glanced at Yu Wensheng in surprise.
He... said it this way, could it be to save her from the siege?
"Then I'll give it a try too." Wei Yao narrowed his eyes and smiled, and followed the general.
Wang Zebang's duty is to protect the general at any time and anywhere. He is wherever the general is, so he also got in the car.
"No, you all..." Seeing the general and the others risking their lives to accompany his wife... Fu Rong was in trouble.
Until he saw Rider Run getting on the carriage expressionlessly. During this period, he moved cleanly and without any words.
Fu Rong was stunned.
Hey hey, what's going on?
Didn’t everyone see this guy yesterday? What is he going to do? He really knows how to flatter the leader!
No, even Cavalry Governor Run was on board, so he had to go on.
Otherwise, wouldn't it appear that he is not an important figure around the general?
In just a short time, five people got on the carriage... Seeing that the top leader of their camp ignored their own safety and got into Ah Qing's carriage, they didn't know whether it was shock or worry, but they felt a chill around them.
General, he, he knows...Are Qing and his carriage suffering from epilepsy?
Zheng Quchi estimated that it would be best to have five people in the parking space and two people in the parking space. It would be a test with seven people in one car.
"Who wants to go up? Just two more people."
Wang Zebang said: "If there is still a shortage of people, I will call two handymen."
"No, let's go."
Fu Changfeng and his companions walked out. He glanced at Zheng Quchi, met her slightly surprised gaze, and snorted coldly: "I'll try it myself. If this carriage becomes unusable in a while, don't blame me for saying it in public." To be honest, trample it down to nothing.”
Zheng Quchi nodded: "As long as it's the truth, it's up to you."
Seven people gathered together.
Yu Wensheng, Wang Zebang, Wei Yao, Runtu and Fu Rong were sitting in the car below, safe and sound.
But Fu Changfeng and his companions were sitting on the second floor. Due to time constraints, the baffles had not been installed, only handrails. Zheng Quchi reminded them that they had better hold on to the handrails when running to prevent them from falling.
"Seven people and two old horses, can they pull it?" Mu Gaoyi came over and asked softly.
Zheng Quchi also whispered back: "It's quite difficult, I can pull it, but the horse is a little tired."
It would be appropriate to replace them with three strong horses, but it is a pity that such favorable conditions are not available.
"Start."
When the test began, Zheng Quchi directed his husband to move.
The driver whipped up the horse, and the old horse moved with its hooves. When it started, it was full of energy, but once the wheels started to move, it seemed to be easier than at the beginning.
"Sure enough, if there are more than seven people, it is better to configure a three-horse drive." Zheng Quchi secretly noted it down.
Yesterday there was no real person on the car to test, but now it’s good that we can fill in the missing data together.
The craftsmen began to get nervous, and they shouted: "Look, it's moving."
"Hey, I don't think I heard the noise yesterday..."
"Yes, it kept clicking and clicking yesterday."
"No, please stop talking and listen carefully. Is it really gone?"
"It's okay if you don't listen carefully. It will run faster after a while and it will definitely make a sound."
The craftsmen were sure that this scrap car was of no use, and there would definitely be a problem soon. When the time came, they would have to take the opportunity to persuade the general and others to get out of the car quickly, so as not to be fooled.
Seeing that the carriage moved about ten meters without any problems, Zheng Quchi shouted again: "Speed up and run slowly."
"yes."
From the carriage being pulled to trotting, the process was smooth and there was no sense of delay.
Zheng Quchi continued to shout: "Speed up again and run slowly!"
At this moment, the carriage has entered the situation and started running happily on the school field. At this time, the speed of the trailer has reached a normal running speed.
The craftsmen listened: "Listen, is there really no sound?"
"It's true that I can't hear it anymore. Moreover, it runs very smoothly and doesn't shake at all. Why?" Their eyes widened.
They had never believed in evil, and now they didn't even care about their face. They ran alongside the carriage to see what was going on, but the more they looked at it, the more surprised they became.
Not only did it not make the shocking noise it did yesterday, but the wheels and the body seemed to be in perfect harmony, as if they were one whole body.
At this time, Zheng Quchi ordered again: "Speed up again! Run quickly!"
"Yes - drive!"
The carriage pierced the air like a sharp arrow, speeding across the school grounds. Not only did it look like a ship, but when it ran, it also sailed smoothly and steadily when it encountered water...
