"This will be an extremely important day in the history of the invention of Long Yan!"
Everyone followed Liu Zheng's footsteps and came to the curtain. Everyone was nervous and excited as they watched the white light curtain shine out from under the lights.
No one knows what's underneath this!
Sophia's eyes widened even more, staring at the curtain. She didn't know much more than the residents of Longyan.
Liu Zheng once told her that this would be Long Yan's culmination of inventions and also Long Yan's most important invention!
Even Gerry next to him, who hated Liu Zheng so much, was looking at the curtain intently.
"The dignified Chief Longyan, I don't know what tricks he is playing again." Gerry whispered disdainfully.
Naresh and Sophia looked unhappy after hearing this.
Naresh reminded from the side: "Your Highness Gerry, watch your words!"
Gerry glanced at Naresh and turned away, his eyes filled with coldness.
Although he did not refute Naresh, he has now marked Naresh in his heart as one of the ministers who must be replaced after he ascends the throne!
Naresh didn't know what Gerry was thinking, but he was looking forward to the invention that Long Yan would announce.
He once made a bicycle invented by Long Yan, and he knew deeply how powerful that seemingly low-tech thing was!
Liu Zheng put his hand on the curtain and said with a smile: "Let us witness this historical moment!"
Uh-huh!
The curtain fell, and at this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten how to breathe!
They looked at the two big things that appeared under the curtain. Both were square objects, but one of them was much smaller.
The small one seems to be made up of extremely precise gears and some parts that most people can't understand.
The big one is like a carriage, but it has two more wheels than the carriage. It has exactly one wheel!
And the entire body is wrapped in black metal.
The shape is very peculiar.
Liu Zheng said calmly: "This is an internal combustion engine. You all know steam engines."
"A steam engine wouldn't be too small, and it wouldn't work very efficiently."
“But we still built factories with steam engines, revolutionized the textile machine, and made our world a better place!”
"But now everything has changed!"
"The internal combustion engine has more power than the steam engine and is more widely used than the steam engine."
"It's like this car next to me."
"His speed exceeds that of a carriage, and he has a larger space. More importantly..."
Liu Zheng started the vehicle, and a roar spread throughout the square. Everyone stared at the thing called a car, which glowed brightly.
Just like the light bulbs on Longyan Street!
"It makes light!"
Seeing this scene, everyone shouted with great excitement: "This is really amazing!"
"What an amazing invention!"
Queen Sophia also clapped her hands. Although she didn't understand the internal combustion engine Liu Zheng just introduced, she saw that this big thing called a car could actually produce 'electricity'!
That alone was enough to turn her on.
But at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly appeared in the crowd.
"Huh...what's the use of such a thing?",
"It's a joke to be able to overturn the world. How can an internal combustion engine compare to a steam engine?"
"Don't forget that today's steam engines can drive trains."
Hearing this familiar and close voice, Sophia frowned. She looked at her lover Gerry beside her and said in a deep voice: "Gerry, don't be unreasonable!"
They were sitting in the front row, and their voices were just enough for Liu Zheng to hear.
Liu Zheng looked at Gerry and walked over with the microphone.
Everyone frowned when they saw Liu Zheng walking towards a person in the auditorium.
"Who are those foreigners? Why does Mr. Liu want to go there?"
Seeing Liu Zheng coming, Queen Sophia quickly stood up and apologized: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Liu, I will discipline Gerry well."
Liu Zheng looked at Gerry and shook his head.
"Forgot to introduce, this is the Queen of Tsarist Russia, Her Majesty Sophia!"
"The envoys sent by Tsarist Russia today are for peace."
"However, the envoy seems to have several questions about our internal combustion engines and cars."
Liu Zheng handed the microphone to Gerry, who looked confused.
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just repeat what you just said."
Sophia frowned. She knew that Liu Zheng had just used this thing to make so many people present hear his voice.
Now that he asks Gerry to repeat what he just said, he is slandering himself!
After all, it is estimated that few people can understand the concept of internal combustion engines.
Before the Queen could speak, Gerry spoke in a deep voice without hesitation.
"Compared with the current steam engine, the invention of the internal combustion engine, I don't see anything subversive so far!"
"And that car can only generate electricity. What use are the four wheels it has?"
"Carriages have existed in the world for thousands of years. If they could be easily replaced, countless inventions would have replaced these items!"
After hearing Gerry's poor Chinese, everyone probably understood what he meant.
Soon this discussion became popular among the crowd.
"What that person said makes sense. Horse-drawn carriages have existed in the world for as long as they have existed, and I haven't seen any inventions that can replace them."
"Even vehicles made by steam engines are still just trains. The main power of transportation now relies on horse-drawn carriages."
"When steam trains and supply ships were invented, and especially the light bulb, no one believed it. Look at it now."
"These inventions and creations have become things that Longyan people can't live without."
"These are all the work of Master Liu Zheng."
"He said that internal combustion engines are very useful. Maybe this is true, but we haven't realized it yet."
…
Gerry heard that everyone around him was doubting Liu Zheng and sneered.
Long Yan's chief assistant was slapped in the face in public. If this kind of thing spreads, it will be as unpleasant as it is to hear.
And it is very likely that Longyan will also become a joke.
Maybe we can take this opportunity to increase the pressure of public opinion and crush Liu Zheng!
"You are right, that's why I brought the car up just to show all of you how advanced things like internal combustion engines are!"
Liu Zheng smiled lightly.
He looked at Gerry and said calmly again: "Since His Highness Gerry is so enthusiastic, then I will invite His Highness Gerry to experience the charm of the car with me in person!"
"Believe me, this is much more interesting than riding a horse on the battlefield."
"It's also much more exciting."
Liu Zheng stretched out his hand and issued a formal invitation.
But Gerry hesitated. If the car really did what Liu Zheng said, what he just said could be considered to have impure motives.
Regardless, he was still very worried. If Liu Zheng wanted to do something along the way, it would be very simple to kill him, for example.
After all, this is Dragon Flame!
It's Liu Zheng's territory!
