I thought that the people in front of me were either insensitive or had reached the highest state of not being happy with things and not being sad with oneself. But during someone's investigation, some clues were still seen.
A sudden increase in heart rate, dilated pupils, and changes in respiratory rate. In addition to these obscure physical signs, Dharma Saint Babak Abu Nahan raised his eyebrows. Sitting behind Ruan Wenyue, his brother showed an expression of enlightenment and excitement. But because his eldest brother maintained an unfazed look, he immediately calmed down his expression when he realized it and returned to his original indifference.
These are just a bunch of fucking old foxes!
Now that he knows that they are not as smooth as they appear, Lin knows how to deal with them. He stopped talking slobbering and reached out to pick up the slightly cold coffee and sipped it. Show an attitude that since you are not interested in listening, I am not interested in continuing to talk.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while. Ruan Wenyue, the party involved, coughed, cleared his throat and said: "Mr. Tripwood, the vehicle you mentioned sounds quite good. But there are no actual results for reference. , but cannot support me in making any decision. So please don’t misunderstand my attitude. I am very willing to cooperate with you, but I should also have the right to choose cooperation projects."
"Such concerns are reasonable and I can understand them. Well, today I just happened to be driving a vehicle and parked it right where everyone parked their carriages. Although it was only an experimental product and a semi-finished product, it had almost complete functions. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to drive here. Some of you are interested in moving outside and actually seeing what the ‘car’ I call is all about.”
As soon as they heard that there was something real to see, everyone would not be interested. Immediately they stood up and greeted each other, then under the leadership of the waiter, they came to the place where the carriage was parked outside the mansion.
After all, it was winter, and it wasn't time to leave yet, so both the driver and the horses had a place to stay away from the cold. Two waiters in thick coats held oil lamps and led the most important people in the banquet to the deserted carriage parking space.
Lin's car test piece was parked among them, particularly conspicuous. The most important thing is the difference in vehicle height. The carriage carriages are quite high, and most people can stand up in the carriages, they just need to lower their heads slightly. The wheel spokes are also large, making the overall height of the carriage much higher than a person's height.
But the highest point of the all-metal vehicle only reached about the chest level. If you don't count the windshield in the front, the height of the entire car is almost an adult's waist.
With such a special appearance, everyone knows who the protagonist is without any special introduction. They all came to this brand-new car and stopped immediately, looking back at the magician who was a step behind everyone.
Passing through the crowd and arriving at the car, Lin Xian used magic to blow away the falling snow on the seats. It seems that the Silverbeard Dwarves need to make an extra canopy. Driving a convertible in rainy or snowy weather is really self-inflicted.
After cleaning up a little, he walked to the passenger seat. Lin opened the car door and gestured to everyone: "I have just said enough. Are you willing to take a ride and see for yourself how this new vehicle feels when driving? But first, let me explain, Because it is just a trial car, the seat cushions are only used for sofa seats, but high-end velvet or leather seats have not been used. Although there is a windshield, it is inevitable that the wind will blow. If it can be mass-produced into commercial products in the future, it can certainly be customized according to customers needs to change the interior.”
As the person who initiated the transaction, Nguyen Van Viet dutifully sat in the passenger seat under someone's instructions and was instructed on how to put on his seat belt. French Saint Babak Abu saw this and was about to sit down on the driver's seat.
Lin had no choice but to stop the eager old man and said: "Your Majesty the Dharma Saint, this is the driving position. If you want to experience it with me, you can sit on the seat at the back." After saying that, he planned to move the driver's seat. , people can sit in it. This prototype car is currently a two-door design, and the rear seats can only be accessed from behind the front seats.
But although this man with a white beard, his physical fitness was not inferior to that of the young man, he held the frame of the car with his hands, jumped in, and sat directly on the back seat. "Come on, kid, let's see how this car you built runs."
"Sir, basically the back seat is designed for three people, so there are also seat belts that can be fastened. ..."
Before someone finished speaking, the Dharma Saint waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I haven't encountered any kind of danger. These seat belts are too much in the way. Don't worry about me, just drive your car well." .”
"Hey, get out of the way." Attila, the great magician and good friend of the Dharma Saint, said with a sly smile: "The young man said that three people can sit in the back seat. What does it mean if you occupy it all by yourself? Why not just do it? Lie down." He said and jumped in from the other side. He assumed the same posture and sat comfortably.
It's a pity that Ruan Wenyue's brother also wanted to get in the car and experience it, but he couldn't afford to offend the two people in the back seat. There was obviously no extra space in the front seat, so he could only watch helplessly. Lin could only shrug his shoulders and give him a helpless expression. After calming down this person's mood, he got into the driver's seat.
Ignite and start the car. The exhaust pipe made a roaring sound, which was particularly loud in this silent night. The men and women who were chatting in the main house looked out the window to see what was making such a loud noise. Some even plan to walk out.
Hearing that the voice seemed familiar, Attila, the well-informed great magician, asked: "Is this the propulsion mechanism of the goblin airship?"
Anything with the word 'goblin' in the prefix is usually not a good thing. So Lin quickly explained: "This is a very safe and reliable machine that I have improved. I call it an engine. You don't have to worry about it. Moreover, this trial car is made of magic metal and has excellent durability and strength." Quite high.”
Despite the explanation, Nguyen Van Yue's brother who failed to get on the bus took a few steps back, and even Nguyen Van Viet himself had the urge to get out of the car. However, he had good etiquette and restrained himself, without showing any rude expression, and sat comfortably in his seat.
Clutch, shift into gear, and lightly press the accelerator. The vehicle began to move slowly but smoothly. The few people sitting in the car looked at this all-metal vehicle with unsurprised expressions without any horses pulling it in front. They have all ridden on government trains before, so of course they will not be frightened by this miniaturized car.
Just... this sense of smoothness? Is it because of the chair? The two masters behind him shook their butts unceremoniously, as if they were trying to find a reason to be so calm.
But this speed is really slow. Several people snickered in their hearts, as if they were laughing at a certain magician's overestimation of his abilities.
Approaching the gate, Lin honked the car's horn and said, "Open the gate, we are going out to test the car."
The guard at the door hurriedly opened the iron gate and released the strange cart that was not pulled by horses.
After turning smoothly and driving onto the street, Lin turned to the people in the car and said, "I'm going to let go and run. Because this is a trial car, there will inevitably be some discomfort, so please bear with me." ." After saying that, step on the accelerator!
The trial car No. 1 completed by the Silverbeard Dwarf has not yet reached a balanced state in terms of adjustment and matching in all aspects. This means that although it has a 40-horsepower, four-cylinder engine, it has not yet found tires with enough grip. On the one hand, there was snow and the ground was slippery, which caused the rear wheels of the driving wheels to spin for a long time, causing tire wear.
But when the tire heat increased and the snowflakes and water vapor on the ground were pushed away, the whole car rushed out in a whoosh.
Perhaps according to my experience on Earth, the acceleration and speed of this car are really not very good. But for the natives of Midland who had never experienced it before, the sudden acceleration had already frightened them once. They all stretched out their hands to grab whatever they could and fixed their bodies.
The horses pulled the carriage, and according to someone's measurement, it was traveling at about twenty kilometers per hour. Riding a horse alone can reach up to sixty or seventy kilometers. Further up, it is no ordinary horse. At least it must be at the Warcraft level to have a higher land speed.
However, it is easy for the prototype No. 1 car to exceed the speed of 20 kilometers per hour. If you press the accelerator a little more, the speed will exceed the normal traveling speed of the carriage. As for what the top speed is... I'm about to test it now.
The cold wind of the winter night blew against the faces of the four people in the car, and even the windshield was of no use. The only good thing is that there are not many people on the road. In this kind of ghostly weather, whether it is drunkards, prostitutes standing on the street or pleasure seekers, they will disappear from the streets without anyone chasing them away.
The cold wind whistling by reminded the people in the car how fast they were traveling.
In an era when there were no accurate speedometers, everyone's judgment of speed was entirely determined by physical speed, and then compared with whether they had similar experiences. But now everyone feels like they are riding a divine horse, running wildly in the winter night. Rather than praising the speed of this car, more people are scolding themselves for being crazy for riding in a convertible in such weather!
However, no matter how fast the straight line speed is, he will always turn back and return to the mansion where the banquet was held. Lin deliberately opened this road because there would be a fountain in a certain section of the road, and that area was also a small square.
Using the fountain as a ring, Lin slowed down and turned the steering wheel sharply. I wanted to use a tail flick to pass through the ring in a cool way. But in the end, the four tires were able to firmly grasp the ground, and the centrifugal force caused the car body to tilt slightly, and it circled the fountain without any danger.
The main thing is that I have no confidence in the grip of the tires. If you act cool until you lose control and get into a car accident, it will be very difficult for your business to continue. A test of straight-line speed will show the advantages of this car over a horse-drawn carriage. There should be no need for fancy driving skills.
I don’t know if the guests in the car were afraid of the cold winter wind pouring into their mouths, or they were really speechless. Until Lin drove back to the mansion where the banquet was held, they still didn't say a word, they just fixed themselves firmly in their seats.
