Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven: National Style Steampunk

The few people who were named all had a certain friendship with Xi Yunfei. Besides, being able to ride in the same car with Li Yuan was also a great honor in their opinion, so after respectfully bowing to Li Yuan, they all found a seat and sat down.

The person in charge of controlling the car was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He was calm, but his palms were covered in sweat at this time and the wooden steering wheel was soaked... Xi Yunfei patted his shoulder funny and signaled that he didn't have to be nervous, just treat it as usual training.

On the co-pilot, Li Fang, the "chief engineer", was sitting. Although the drawings were provided by Xi Yunfei, he completed all the installation and debugging step by step according to the drawings. At this time, he was extremely nervous, afraid that something bad would happen.

Just when everyone is nervous.

The sightseeing car slowly moved.

"Please note, reverse, please note, reverse..."

"Uh!?"(????)b

Everyone was confused, only Xi Yunfei laughed out loud.

I miss this reversing audio so much that it finally has a little bit of the taste of future generations.

Under the fearful gaze of everyone, the sightseeing car slowly retreated a little, aimed at the wide street, and slowly drove towards the city gate.

"I'm really excited!" The onlookers were very excited, as if they had discovered some miracle, and they followed the car and chased.

The heads and managers of several aristocratic families were envious. If they had just taken the initiative, they might have been able to experience the magical mount at this time, but they didn't know how the car started to move by itself without a horse pulling a cart.

The young man driving is the one with the highest simulation operation results. After some adaptation, he has completely calmed down. He looked at the crowd watching on both sides of the road, and a complacent smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. This feeling of being watched is simply too good.

The breeze gradually became stronger as the car moved, and the oncoming wind made Li Yuan and Li Jing involuntarily grasp the guardrail.

"Satisfactory!" in just one word summarizes Xi Yunfei's mood at this moment.

"Li Fang, you have made great contributions this time. When you go back, all the participants must reward you. You will directly ask the Ma Zheng to reimburse him for the expenses, hahaha." Xi Yunfei patted Li Fang on the co-pilot, smiling from ear to ear.

When Li Fang heard this, he nodded and bowed quickly, his face full of shame. The reason why this tourist car was successfully made is inseparable from the key objects provided by Xi Yunfei. If there were no solar panels above his head, the motor under his feet, the four rubber tires and a lot of wires, he could at most build a frame. He would be like that bicycle at that time, it would be like the four-dimensional ones.

Li Yuan twisted his beard that was chaotic by the wind and secretly observed the overall structure of the sightseeing car. He had not started it just now and felt that the car looked strange and useless. When he ran, he realized that it was good.

Just as he was secretly amazed, the sightseeing car had already driven out of the city gate and drove onto the newly repaired road.

Xi Yunfei reached out to stop the driver, smiled and knelt on the seat with one foot, turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, our destination for this trip is Shuofang West City. If you have something to do in your mansion, it will be too late to get off the bus."

The few people sitting in the back row looked at each other, and Cui Xian bowed and said, "Mr. I'm joking. What's more important than experiencing a sightseeing bus. It takes only more than two hours to travel to Shuofang West City, which is fine."

Xi Yunfei smiled, saw everyone nodding and clapping his hands, saying, "Hehe, since you all give me such a face, let's go to Shuofang West City. However, it's been more than two hours back and forth. This time I want you to see what speed and passion are."

As he said that, Xi Yunfei ordered to the driver: "At the fastest speed, I want to see how long it takes to travel back and forth between Shuofang and the two cities."

The young man who was driving was delighted when he heard this. Everyone holding the steering wheel had a lightning heart. In fact, he had been eager to try it. Just now, he had been asking for stability and only stepped on the accelerator for less than one-fifth.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sightseeing car started moving again. This time it was different from before. You could vaguely hear the whistle and whistle caused by the rotation of the motor under your feet, which made everyone curious.

The young man is worthy of being the first in simulation training. He did not step too deep at the beginning, but accelerated slowly. When the sightseeing car drove to the Wuli Changting, the crowd was already stunned by the wind.

Changsun Chong, who was sitting in the back row, pushed a wisp of hair in front of his forehead apart, looking at the bushes that kept flashing like phantoms on both sides of the road, his face full of incredible expressions.

"This is too fast, it's faster than a carriage."

"The carriage is not comparable at all. Even if you ride a fast horse alone, you are afraid that it is at this speed, and it will not last long."

"If you don't say anything else, this car runs very smoothly and is not bumpy at all. Look at this road... If it is built to my Hedong, I am afraid that it will only take one day to go home in the future?"

"Haha, it's still early to build the expressway to Hedong. I guess the road to Yanzhou will be opened sooner. We will return to Guanlong much faster by then... I just don't know if this car can deliver goods!?"

When everyone heard this, they showed an expression of intention. Cui Xian hurriedly took pictures of Xi Yunfei who was chatting with Li Jing.

"Master Cui?" Xi Yunfei was talking to Li Jing about the arrangements for road control personnel. Now he has shortage of personnel and cannot be responsible for everything. As the chief marching manager of Xiazhou, Li Jing only needs to send a few soldiers to come.

Cui Xian looked at Li Jing apologetically and said to Xi Yunfei: "Langjun, we want to ask, can this sightseeing car be used for loading goods? If it is feasible, how much goods can be loaded at a time?"

Xi Yunfei was stunned when he heard this. He ignored the issue of freight. Tourist cars cannot be used to transport goods, otherwise the number of passengers would not be limited, because the motor could not bear it at all.

Thinking of this, Xi Yunfei frowned slightly: "Even if you can get goods, if you don't have road construction, you won't be able to use it."

"This..." Cui Xian and the others looked at each other, all full of disappointment.

Seeing this, Xi Yunfei said curiously: "Isn't there Yunda Logistics? Do you think their fees are too expensive?"

Cui Xian waved his hand quickly when he heard this: "No, Yunda logistics is of course excellent, but compared with the speed of this tourist car, the speed of the carriage seems too slow. Take Cui as an example. It will take nearly a month to travel. The time and cost on the road are too high. If you can have the speed of this tourist car...haha..."

Only then did Xi Yunfei realize that their thoughts and feelings were better, and they were not satisfied with the previous freight conditions.

but……

A picture suddenly flashed through Xi Yunfei's mind. It was an island country anime in later generations, and the main means of transportation for that anime...it seemed to be used for use.

Xi Yunfei didn't want the steam engine and internal combustion engine to pollute this purely natural era, so what he could think of was to allow electricity to be released early.

Speaking of electricity, there is also a means of transportation that is rarely used by people in later generations, but it often appears in the public eye.

That's it.

"airship!"

Xi Yunfei's eyes lit up and he was eager to try.

Large civil airships in later generations can be used in transportation, transportation, entertainment, disaster relief, film and television shooting, scientific experiments, etc.

It can also act as a small satellite. For example, when a natural disaster occurs, a floating device can be quickly launched when the communication is interrupted. By installing a communication forwarder on the floating air balloon, the mobile communication recovery of the entire disaster area can be completed in a very short time...

Moreover, airships with a load capacity of 100 tons in later generations were very common. The French "Hercules" airship has a load capacity of up to 900 tons. It can not only load and unload cargo for ocean-going ships, but also directly lift inland ships across the sluice.

When Xi Yunfei thought of that scene, he was extremely excited.

“Am I going to start a national-style steampunk?

On the ancient streets, electric cars and horse-drawn carriages run side by side...

Over the countryside where men plough and women weave, a hydrogen airship slowly floated by with advertising banners...

The Master dressed in a blue shirt of Confucian scholars, rode his bicycle to the college to work early in the morning...

Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, sat on a solar-powered sightseeing car, talking and laughing with all the wise men?!"
