Before Li Zexuan went to the north to exterminate locusts, he gave Uncle Fu a stack of drawings about a new electric vehicle. At that time, he originally wanted to use this as a wedding gift for Yan Shaoning and Mo Lingwei, but there was no big surprise in the middle. During the locust plague, he organized a Tianji brigade to go north to exterminate the locusts, so he delayed sending congratulatory gifts!
Now that he has returned from the north, more than a month has passed since he originally told Fu Bo to build a new electric car. Of course, this electric car has been completely completed!
"Master, in fact, this car has been built at the end of last month. However, Master, you were in the north at that time, so the car was sealed up by the old man, and no outsiders were allowed to visit or touch it. Today, Master, I just want to try this car, okay? make!"
Arriving at the innermost courtyard of the workshop, Uncle Fu said as he led everyone forward.
"Well! Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Fu!"
Li Zexuan nodded and responded with satisfaction.
"Haha! This old man is just talking, not hard work. This car was mainly built by Hongsheng and his people!"
Uncle Fu waved his hand and chuckled.
He is older now. Although he has not experienced any major disasters or illnesses and is still in good health, once he starts working, his physical strength is far inferior to that of a young man like Zhang Hongsheng. After working for a long time, he will I feel very tired, so now Fubo has gradually and consciously distributed part of the burden to the capable craftsmen in the workshop! And Zhang Hongsheng is the one with the most outstanding ability among the younger generation in the workshop!
While talking, several people had arrived at a warehouse-like house in the north. Uncle Fu took out a longer key from a bundle of keys on his waist, and then he stepped forward and opened the door. Suddenly, a A four-wheeled vehicle with a metallic luster all over its body appeared in front of everyone smoothly!
"This... this is my car~?"
"Oh~! This car is so... so impressive!"
When they saw the car parked in the warehouse, Li Zexuan and Li Tai exclaimed at the same time.
For Li Zexuan, this car... is ugly, very, very ugly! The surface of the car body is neither polished nor electroplated and painted. There are no soft and comfortable fabric or leather seats inside the car, nor is there a cool large central control navigation screen. It is simply low!
But in the eyes of Li Tai and Du E, this car was simply blinding! First of all, the sharp-edged body structure and streamlined shape not only make people’s eyes brighter, but also make people feel a sense of speed;
Secondly, the bright and transparent glazed windows on the front, rear, left, and right not only ensure that the line of sight is not blocked while driving, but also create a completely enclosed space for the driver and people sitting in the car. It is simply a space that can be moved around at any time. The little room!
Finally, the car travels on four wheels. Compared with bicycles and two-wheeled carriages pulled by horses, this car is undoubtedly more stable and is simply the best means of transportation~!
"Uh~!"
After hearing each other's completely different sighs, a kind of embarrassment appeared on both Li Zexuan and Li Tai's faces. After a moment, Li Tai came back to his senses and asked with some confusion: "Chief, this car You are so mighty and domineering, but you don’t seem satisfied, why is that?”
When Uncle Fu heard this, he quickly turned his attention here. After all, he was responsible for building this car. If Li Zexuan is not satisfied, it will be his dereliction of duty!
"Ahem! Who said I'm not satisfied? Qingque, don't talk nonsense!"
Li Zexuan also noticed the nervous look on Uncle Fu's face. He coughed lightly and said, "I'm very satisfied with this car! Uncle Fu, I'll go up and give it a try!"
Although due to the constraints of the current process conditions, this car has some shortcomings compared to modern cars, it is undeniable that this is the most advanced four-wheel electric vehicle of this era. Li Zexuan feels that it cannot be too much. It was nitpicking, so he changed his tune temporarily.
Hearing this, Uncle Fu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly took out a key from his waist and said, "Master, this is the car door key. You have to drive slower later. Safety is important! By the way, Master You must fasten that... strap next to the seat!"
"Haha! That's a seat belt!"
Li Zexuan chuckled and couldn't help but said: "Uncle Fu, just don't worry, nothing will happen to you! I'm an experienced driver!"
It is said that when he was in college in his previous life, he even took the driver's license exam. Isn't it more than enough to handle the "ancient" electric car now? Ahem, even though this guy has never touched a steering wheel since he got his driver's license, it doesn't affect his driving skills! Because he is now a martial arts master, and his coordination and reaction abilities of all parts of his body are far beyond ordinary people!
"Qingque, do you want to accompany me and try this car~?"
After taking two steps, Li Zexuan suddenly turned around, looked at Li Tai and said with a faint smile.
Li Tai responded without thinking: "Yes, yes! Of course! Chief, wait for me~!"
This little fat guy has no idea how dangerous it is to ride in a car with a novice driver!
"Haha! Okay~!"
After a while, the two got into the four-wheel electric car. Li Zexuan sat in the driver's seat as a matter of course, and Li Tai sat in the passenger seat next to Li Zexuan. The front seat of the car was installed in a very user-friendly manner. Seat belt (this thing is not very technical, Li Zexuan took it into consideration when drawing the design drawings). Li Zexuan fastened the seat belt skillfully. In fact, with his current skills, he did not need to wear this at all. So I still do it, mainly to demonstrate to Li Tai!
After both of them fastened their seat belts, Li Zexuan inserted the key into a keyhole in the front of the car, then placed his left foot on the brake pedal, his right foot on the gas (acceleration) pedal, and his His hands were placed on the wooden steering wheel in front of him.
It was the first time Li Tai saw this kind of car. Naturally, he didn't know what mechanism was used in the position of Li Zexuan's feet and what the disc in front of Li Zexuan was for. At this time, he only saw Li Zexuan stepping down gently with his right foot. , with a soft "boom", Li Tai's feet could clearly feel the car's floor shaking slightly, and then he couldn't help but lean back slightly. The car had started and left the place~!
Wow~! Moved! It's moving~! "
Li Tai shouted excitedly: "Chief, this big guy can really move! Hey, Chief, he's about to turn, and he's about to hit Guanshi Fu~!"
In his excitement, Li Tai caught a glimpse of their car heading straight towards Fu Bo, and he quickly shouted a warning.
"Huh? How should I turn this car~?"
Suddenly, Li Tai realized a very serious problem. Unlike the bicycles and electric bicycles invented by Li Zexuan before, the cars they were riding now did not have handlebars that could control the direction! How to turn this around~
This can't be blamed on Li Tai's lack of knowledge. After all, the steering wheel has never appeared before! No one would have thought that the log disk could be the steering controller of this large steel machine!
Speaking of modern car steering wheels, they actually evolved step by step from bicycle handlebars. When Mercedes-Benz built its first car, it referred to the design of a bicycle and used a handlebar similar to that of a bicycle, but the handlebars Two-hand operation is replaced by one hand.
Later, a small boatman in Germany stole all the valuable things on the boat because the boss of the boat was in arrears with wages. In order to retaliate against the boss of the boat, the young boatman also took the rudder of the boat. There was no use in taking off the rudder, so the boatman threw it at the door of his house. As a result, a technician working in automobile production happened to see it, and an idea flashed: Why not use a rudder to control the direction? So, the steering wheel came into being!
Therefore, in 1896, the British Frederick Stringland and the automobile manufacturer Drake applied marine steering column and steering wheel technology to automobiles. Since then, steering wheels have been widely used.
Li Zexuan relied on the "traveler" buff to directly adjust the steering wheel in Datang at once, saving future generations from many detours!
"Hey! What do you have to worry about when you are with your master~?"
When Li Tai's heart was about to rise to his throat, Li Zexuan said angrily, and then he saw his hands quickly turning the steering wheel clockwise, and the car quickly turned to the right. Due to inertia, Li Tai felt that his whole body was involuntarily thinking It looked like he was going to fly to the left, but fortunately he fastened his seat belt in advance, and the seat belt tied him firmly to the seat!
"This... this wooden plate is actually used to adjust the direction of the car? It's amazing! This design is so creative~!"
Li Tai's eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Li Zexuan smiled and ignored this prince who had never seen the world. He was carefully feeling the power of the car's motor and the flexibility of the steering wheel. First of all, the power provided by the car's motor was very poor. After all, this was just the Qiquge Workshop. The first generation electric motor invented had very little torque;
Secondly, the steering wheel is a bit jerky and requires a lot of force to control when turning. This is very unfriendly to novice drivers!
There are no other detailed parts such as turn signals, horns, rearview mirrors, and wipers. This car is at best a high-end electric bicycle. It just has a steering wheel and a shed to protect it from wind and rain. And carry more people!
"Chief, what's the name of this car?"
Seeing that Li Zexuan didn't like him, Li Tai asked again.
"... Let's call this an electric car. It's the first-generation test product. The subsequent improvements will be left to you, Qingque!"
Li Zexuan replied while driving the car.
"Electric car? What kind of car is a car? Why do you call it a car? Does it get angry?"
Li Tai was happy to accept the tasks assigned by Li Zexuan, but he was a little puzzled by the name Li Zexuan gave the car!
Li Zexuan almost vomited blood when he heard this. He said angrily: "... Why are there so many reasons? Let's go! Come with me to Chang'an City to deliver the car!"
"Ah? Drive this electric... car to Chang'an City? Okay, okay!"
When Li Tai heard this, he was immediately filled with surprises. Men love cars, and the ancients were no exception! Just imagine how cool it would be if you could take this big guy for a walk in Chang'an City! By then, he will definitely become the most handsome boy in the entire Chang'an City!
"... Uncle Fu! We are going to Chang'an City!"
Li Zexuan drove around in the backyard, then rolled down the window and said loudly to Uncle Fu, who was standing by with a happy face.
"Okay, okay! Master, be careful all the way!"
Fu Bo nodded and smiled.
"Okay~!"
Li Zexuan responded, then stepped on the accelerator pedal, and the car started instantly and rushed towards the backyard gate!
"Master Hou! Wait...!"
Has Du'e ever encountered such a magical thing? A large iron shell weighing several hundred kilograms, with two people inside, can run very fast without relying on manpower or animal power. This is simply a legendary magical weapon! So since Li Zexuan just started the car, he had been in a state of extreme shock. At this time, he finally came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.
