Bachelor Oro stood up tremblingly—onlookers might even worry that the old man would suddenly jerk away while he was talking—he took a few breaths, and then slowly talked about the inside and outside of the castle. Status: "The electric genie just came back and is very weak, we've lost more than half of our lights, the furnace and some of the water are out. Tech apprentices have found some burnt wiring and they're replacing those parts, but we don't have enough spares …”
"Priority is to repair the heater. The water source can be fetched from the nearby Sink Town. The fresh water stored there can be supplied for at least half a month." The Castle Governor interrupted the bachelor, "Any news from Metal Town?"
"I can't see their lights from here, and the power over there probably hasn't been restored, and the communicator can't be used either." Another short and fat man sitting next to the bachelor stood up. "It seems that we need to send someone there."
"Then send someone over there, and you will lead the team. Bring a few more people. Be careful that the barbarians from the Iron City State will take this opportunity to snatch our galvanized sheets and wires."
"Winter is coming," Maester Oro still has something to say, "My lord, this darkness should be a warning. The firewood we offer can't stop this winter, so now we should think about what to do when winter really comes." Do it. We need to gather the refugees, hoard more supplies, and send envoys to the Iron City State... "
"Bachelor, you are only an expert in machines and light bulbs. Regarding war, I have the final say," the governor of the castle tapped on the table, "I don't care whether the cold winter you said will come or not, there will be no real war between us and the Iron City State." Peace, at least I will not take the initiative to cease war with that treacherous barbarian."
The bachelor muttered, but after all, the old man had no intention of provoking the governor's authority on the spot. After sighing heavily, he sat back.
The governor of the castle finished the meeting vigorously and arranged all the follow-up matters, and then urged Bachelor Oro and the team escorting the bachelor to leave as soon as possible. He did ask Hao Ren and other "guest generals" for their opinions, but Hao Ren also meant that it would be best to leave early—so after asking the old bachelor to prepare briefly, the group prepared to leave Hearth City.
Hao Ren and the others were waiting for Willy at the small intersection in front of the Hearth City. Lily raised her feet and looked at the "ancestral furnace" at the end of the horizon. She was a little worried: "We can't just walk there, right? Eighty-year-old old man. I walked slowly over these dozens of kilometers, and the reactor is probably going to blow up again... "
Hao Ren was also thinking about this matter in his heart. The gang of supermen around him would run over quickly. But taking Willy and Oro is another matter. Willy has seen "witchcraft", so it is possible to use some high-tech to bring him there, such as the high-tech Big Dipper in the portable space. The problem is Bachelor Oro, the old man's eighty-year-old heart may not be able to accept the surging speed of the Big Dipper...
However, the entanglement in his heart didn't last long before he was interrupted by a "chug chug" sound from behind, and only heard a sound like a tractor approaching from far away. He turned his head and saw a magical vehicle coming out of the hearth city with black smoke...
I saw that the rear half of this vehicle was a square carriage made of iron sheets and wooden boards, while the front was tethered to a completely unsuitable front. The engine in the front was completely exposed to the outside, and the two crooked The exhaust pipes extend from both sides of the engine, and black smoke "chugs" on both sides of the front of the car. The driver's seat of this car is also quite magical: there is a dark wooden chair, which is fixed to the engine with wires and ropes. In the back, there is no shelter around. The steering wheel in front of the chair is a curved handle that was removed from nowhere. It is not only curved, but also asymmetrical...
But the most amazing sight was the man in the chair: Maester Oro sat there. The thin, old, frail old scholar sat upright in his chair, his face serious as he held the steering wheel. There is a fist around the head, and the hair flutters slightly in the wind, like an old knight patrolling the battlefield.
Lily was taken aback by this scene: "Wow?"
Accompanied by billowing black smoke and deafening chugs, the patchwork iron tractor finally stopped in front of Hao Ren with a creak. Willie poked his head out from the back compartment, and the young man looked very energetic at this moment: "I've been waiting for a long time. Let's start now. Get in the car."
Hao Ren pointed to this "car", full of complaints and didn't know where to start. He wondered if there are still people who can drive in this world that has degenerated into a feudal dynasty with cold weapons. It’s still time to complain about the tractors built with wooden boards and wires in the world—this magical vehicle is like a performance art, straddling the classic and modern crotch proudly. It's jaw-dropping right here.
"Surprised?" Bachelor Oro saw Hao Ren's expression in the rearview mirror, and the old man smiled smugly, "Only bachelors who have studied in the Tower of Knowledge for more than six years can be qualified and learn how to control this Steel beast chariot, and there are only three such chariots in the entire Hearth City. If it wasn't for the urgent call of His Majesty the King, the Governor would definitely not let it go. Don't say more, get in the chariot!"
Hao Ren swallowed the words with all his strength, and dragged Lily into the car. After getting on the car, he found that there were no formal seats in the car—because the whole car was just a wooden box tied with wire, and the locals neither knew how to make car seats nor how to fix them. on the chassis of the car. Willie pulled a few folding stools from the back of the carriage and pushed them in front of Hao Ren and the others: "Please sit down."
Bachelor Oro in the front confirmed that everyone had boarded the car, and he greeted everyone to sit down, then shook his bachelor's robe, straightened his sitting position on the wooden armchair, and stepped on the accelerator to start the car.
Lily glanced at the folding stool that Willy pushed over: "I was Maza when I took the stuffy tank train to the city decades ago... oh my god!"
It turned out that the old bachelor kicked the accelerator in front of him, and the combined tractor ran up the potholed road. The violent bumps immediately made Lily lie in front of Hao Ren, who gnawed on the mud like a dog. Hao Ren hurriedly helped the girl up, and then Seeing other people in the car start to sway vigorously with the bumps, it turns out that it is meaningless to install any form of seats in this car, because the whole car is in Brownian motion when the car is driving. Passengers need to use great skill to fix themselves in one position. On the surface, everyone looks like they are sitting on chairs, but in fact, everyone is squatting and keeping the same vibration as the carriage...
Willie, a cowardly soldier who seemed useless, seemed very calm at this time. As a local, he was already used to it...
"Can this car really drive?" Hao Ren squatted on a horse and said loudly to Willy, "Is there a road outside?"
He still remembered the terrible road conditions he saw when he came from the Road of Harvest. The formerly smooth Shelter Avenue was already as dilapidated as the Gobi Desert. How far can the product run after it is on the road? Feeling the vibration of the carriage, he even feels that the horizontal mileage of this car is the same as the longitudinal mileage...
Willie replied loudly: "It's okay! The main road is often repaired!"
Hao Ren peeked out and saw that the car was driving on a wider and better road. Although the concrete pavement of this road was cracked and broken, all the potholes had been filled by people. A sign of peace, which made him feel a little relieved.
But after Maester Oro kicked off the accelerator and blasted the car onto the road, he realized: the road is not going to work.
The condition of the car is flawed, this car has no shock absorption at all! Its four wheels don't even have to be all round - no wonder a bachelor with a high IQ has to study in that tower for six years before he can learn to drive a tractor, because this is not a driving subject at all, this is an extreme sports subject!
Hao Ren was vibrating synchronously with the carriage while worrying whether the various parts of the car would run off and fall off. At the same time, he looked at Bachelor Oro who was sitting on the front of the car through the window in front of the carriage. He was on the recliner chair tied to the engine with a rope, and his robe and hair were flying in the wind. He was very worried about what would happen if the old man fell off the chair if he didn’t sit still...
"My impression of this bachelor has been subverted," Nangong Sanba said to his sister, "No one on Earth who is 60 years younger than him dares to play like this."
Hao Ren was vibrating in sync with the car while thinking to himself: This car is thrown on the earth, not to mention whether anyone would dare to drive it, it is still a question of whether you can recognize it, just throw this thing on the road, if you don’t drive it No one else knows what this is for...
