Great Tang princess

Chapter 847 Motorcycle

At the end of July, in Jixian Hall, Li Xian called several brothers and sisters over to discuss future issues.

He held a health ball in his left hand, and fanned himself with a folding fan in his right hand: "Yuechen said a few years ago that he will return to Chang'an in the future, and he has been preparing for it all these years. Is the time coming?"

This is true. In the past few years, Li Yuechen has been opening many stores in Chang'an, and at the same time, many production factories have also been arranged in Chang'an.

In fact, in terms of economic level alone, Chang'an is much higher than Dongfang.

It's just that because the emperor is now in the Eastern Capital and there are various entertainment facilities, the living standards of the people are still higher in the Eastern Capital.

Princess Xuancheng replied: "However, if we return to Chang'an at this moment, it may have a huge impact on the economic level of the Eastern Capital."

"It won't be too big." Li Yuechen shook his head, "Those shops will not be moved, but will just open in both places."

"Speaking of which, there are football matches every year, so is it necessary to build another stadium in Chang'an?" Li Xian asked.

"also."

Li Yuechen nodded: "But in Chang'an, we must make a relatively bigger one. It will take a few years to complete, so don't worry too much. At least the next World Cup will be held in Dongdu."

"In addition, the flying ball stadium should be rebuilt in Chang'an, right?" Li Xian asked.

"That's simple, and it can be completed in a few months at most." Li Yuechen nodded, expressing that it was trivial.

Besides, returning to Chang'an is not going back now, even if a plan is proposed, it will take some time to implement.

"What about the end of next year?" Li Dan asked.

"It's not enough. My princess's mansion and my brother's Xiangwang's mansion need to be built there, and it will take at least three years." Li Yuechen said.

Although it is said that the construction period will not take that long, the three-year period is also used as a buffer to give others a little psychological preparation.

After all, the emperor's sudden departure will definitely have a big impact on the situation in the Eastern Capital.

These all need to be considered in advance, and you can't just walk away.

However, it can be published in the newspaper first to give the outside world a time to adapt and prepare.

Everyone else nodded in agreement, and a buffer period of three years should be enough.

……

So on the first day of August, the newspaper published the news that the emperor would return to Chang'an three years later.

As soon as this news came out, it triggered a huge discussion in the whole city.

Over the years, the people of Dongdu have gotten used to the emperor's life here.

Rather, children under the age of 20 don't even know that Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Now that the emperor is leaving, many people feel a little confused and somewhat lost.

But because of what was lost, it was not clear for a while.

And many older people are considering whether the emperor's departure will have any impact on their living standards.

Compared with ordinary people, rich people have more complicated considerations.

They can all imagine that Chang'an's economy will definitely usher in a wave of explosion after the emperor returns.

So the first thing after seeing the news was to ask the family to send someone to Chang'an to buy land and prepare to open a store.

It's just that it may not be too late to go now, because the cheap land was bought by Li Yuechen many years ago, and now many shops of the Taiping Group have already opened for business.

It's actually relatively late for them to enter now.

What's more, when the time comes, you have to go to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to file for the record and obtain a business license, and the procedures will be more troublesome.

Today's imperial court is no longer the previous ten-day rest, but has become the weekly system used by the army, with five rests and two rests.

Except for some special departments, no one could be found on Saturdays and Sundays.

The same is true for the current cabinet. It is closed on five days and two days off, and it goes to court every Monday and Friday. What to do at other times.

The first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year are considered special circumstances. Whether it is a working day or not, the two-day court meeting is indispensable. At least for now, it cannot be cancelled.

However, Li Yuechen had explained to Li Chongrun that after he ascended the throne, this could be considered cancelled.

The reform of the system must consider the actual environment. There are still not many young people in the court today, so we must consider whether the ideas of those old guys can be accepted.

……

Soon, the time came to the end of September.

Li Yuechen is training the carefully selected pilot students in the aviation school.

In the classroom, she stood in front of the blackboard and gave lectures to the students.

"Listen well, when the plane lands, you must ensure that the plane is level, and the inclination cannot exceed fifteen degrees! Otherwise, there is a risk of crashing when it lands..."

The students carefully took pens to make notes on the notebooks in front of them, and raised their hands to ask their own questions from time to time.

In the afternoon, it was time for training again.

They came to the playground, and under Li Yuechen's order, they got into the big iron ring that could rotate one by one.

Someone behind is pushing the iron ring forward, and the people inside will also keep spinning.

Anti-overload training is extremely painful, and many people will spit it out on the spot after training.

But after throwing up, you have to continue to practice, and let your body get used to it.

Of course, Li Yuechen will continue to observe during this process. If he still doesn't improve after many times, it means that his physical fitness is not good, and he can only be eliminated with regret.

However, as soon as he got to the side of the training, Xiaodong came over.

"Your Highness, people from the Academy of Engineering came here to spread the word that the motorcycle is finished!"

"Go! Go and have a look!" Li Yuechen immediately waved his hand and was about to leave after hearing this.

Then let the flight students go back to the classroom for self-study, and drove directly to the engineering institute.

After coming over, Pei Bishu immediately took her inside.

After arriving at the laboratory, the door was opened.

With a glance, Li Yuechen saw a brand new motorcycle.

Just like the plane, because it hasn't been painted yet, the whole car is silver and white.

The frame is modeled after off-road motorcycles, and the shock absorbers are made by hand.

The tires use all-terrain tread patterns, and the wheels are also made of fine steel.

The handlebar is integrally formed, and most of the shells on the body are also made of iron sheet.

Overall, the gap with the off-road motorcycles of the future is not too big, and there is almost no big difference.

The only difference is that, after all, this is not a real sports off-road motorcycle. Considering the use of the army for reconnaissance in the future, this motorcycle was originally designed for two people to ride.

In the future, real sports off-road motorcycles will not consider bringing people.

After Li Yuechen touched it with his hands, he turned his head and asked, "Have you come on?"

"Return to Your Highness, it's full!" Pei Bishu nodded and replied.

"Hmm..." Li Yuechen nodded, then raised his leg and stepped up, intending to drive out for a try.

At this time, the craftsman next to him came over to stop him: "Your Highness, this car is different from a car. It is much lighter, weighing less than four hundred catties. Therefore, it will have a lot of power, and I am afraid it will not be easy to control!"

It's easy to imagine that his concerns are justified.

Under the same horsepower, a motorcycle must be much faster than a car because the thrust-to-weight ratio is different.

An ordinary car weighs at least one ton, and a motorcycle weighs only a few hundred kilograms. In addition to the wind resistance caused by the shape, the speed of a motorcycle is much faster than that of a car under the same horsepower.

The so-called craftsman was worried that the speed was too fast, and he was afraid that Li Yuechen would not be able to control it.

But this worry is obviously superfluous, and Li Yuechen is also very familiar with this.

So she smiled and waved her hand, pinched the clutch with her left hand, hooked her right foot lightly, hooked the pedal lever out, and then stepped on it lightly a few times.

Then a deep step, accompanied by a low roar, the engine started.

Li Yuechen didn't let go of the clutch, so he twisted the accelerator a few times.

"Om - hum -"

Listening to the roar from the exhaust pipe, Li Yuechen closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Listening to this long-lost roar reminded her of many things in the past.

She waved to the group of people standing in front of her: "Okay, get out of the way, Ben Gong rides out and takes a turn."

"Yes!" The craftsmen in front of them agreed and moved out of the way in the middle.

The craftsman just stepped aside and reminded: "Your Highness, be careful, this motorcycle is powerful and difficult to control..."

"Okay, my old lady was invited by the Isle of Man back then!"

Li Yuechen threw down a sentence they didn't understand, then slammed the accelerator and released the clutch.

The next moment, the front wheel of the motorcycle was raised high, and the rear wheel only landed on the ground, and it rushed out.

This sudden scene shocked everyone, who thought the car was out of control.

But then they saw that Li Yuechen, who was already out of the gate, had put down the front wheel, and then turned around, and disappeared with the roar of the engine.

Only a group of craftsmen were left looking at each other, thinking whether it was out of control just now or the Highness did it on purpose.

A young apprentice muttered to himself, "Over there...it seems to be a mountain?"

……

Xiaodong outside saw Li Yuechen rushing to the mountain road, and hurriedly said to Yiluoru: "Didn't His Highness teach you to drive? Hurry up and follow!"

"This...there is a mountain road over there, the car can't get on it!" Yi Liuru looked embarrassed.

Indeed, during the driving school training, Yi Luoru, the personal guard, also went in to learn how to drive, and successfully obtained a driver's license.

But now Li Yuechen rode his motorcycle directly up the small road to the mountain. The road over there was not a cement paved road, and it was a small road stepped on by people, so cars couldn't get on it at all.

Li Yuechen didn't care so much, he turned the accelerator and rushed up the mountain.

After going up the mountain, his butt left the car seat, using his two legs as shock absorbers, and rushed all the way up the mountain.

Due to the rough road, the body is constantly shaking up and down.

Feeling the constant shaking of the shock absorbers on the car body, Li Yuechen nodded secretly. It is indeed the shock absorbers that the master craftsman rubbed out by himself, and it is not worse than many famous brand shock absorbers in the future.

At least from the current feedback experience, it is already comparable to many T0 shock absorbers.

Being able to drive so smoothly on the rugged road on Mang Mountain that few people have set foot on, at least it will be enough for the army to carry out reconnaissance missions in the future.

However, Li Yuechen wanted to try other tests, so he twisted the accelerator violently, and accompanied by the roar of the engine, the speed of the car suddenly increased a lot.

Seeing a steep slope in front of him, Li Yuechen rushed up without slowing down.

Under the powerful horsepower, the car rushed up the steep slope, and under the action of huge inertia, it directly left the ground and reached midair.

Li Yuechen, who was in the air, was observing the landing point, while leaving the car seat, holding the handlebar with both hands to complete a Thomas movement.

Then step on the pedals with both feet again, and control the motorcycle to land steadily.

The shock absorber was pushed down sharply, and then the front wheels landed on the ground, and continued to drive forward smoothly.

Li Yuechen dared to do this, not because he was simply rubbed to death, but because he had sufficient self-confidence.

The first is to be sure of her ability to control the car, and second, she has participated in the design and production of this car, and she is also sure of the frame's bearing capacity.

After running a big circle on the mountain, I returned to the cement paved road and rode towards the Engineering Institute.

……

At this time, Xiaodong, Yiluoru and the others were still waiting anxiously at the gate of the Engineering Academy.

His Highness has been riding up the mountain for almost 15 minutes, and the sound of the engine can't be heard at all, which means the distance is not close.

Just as I was thinking about finding two horses to go up the mountain to have a look, I heard a roar approaching from far away.

Turning his head, he saw that at the end of the concrete road, Li Yuechen in mourning clothes had already appeared in his field of vision.

She stood on the motorcycle with her hands off the handlebars, her arms outstretched, as if embracing the breeze blowing on her face.

Only relying on the tilt of the feet and the body to control the body, come here.

Seeing this scene, Xiaodong, Yiluoru and other guards were relieved.

The craftsmen at the door opened their eyes wide. As the people who made this motorcycle by themselves, they all know how terrifying the data of this thing is, and how difficult it is to control.

This is not the same as riding a horse. After all, a horse is a living creature, and it knows that it cannot run to places that are too dangerous.

But motorcycles are different. This is a machine, and you can run forward as soon as you twist the accelerator, regardless of whether the front is dangerous or not.

But fortunately, now that he has returned safely, there is nothing wrong with it.

Although she had known for a long time that this thing was invented by her after all, and it was normal for her to control it, but she was still a little surprised after seeing it for herself.

Li Yuechen parked the car firmly at the entrance of the engineering institute, and nodded to a group of craftsmen: "Not bad! This project, give a collective first-class merit!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" the craftsmen all saluted and agreed upon hearing this.

"Old Pei, two production lines will be built for this motorcycle. One is for the army, and the other can be traded as a commodity!" Li Yuechen said.

Pei Bishu quickly agreed.

Motorcycles are different from cars. It doesn't matter if they are sold as commodities, and they can make profits early.

It doesn't matter if foreigners buy it, because they still have to buy gasoline.

Secondly, even if foreigners buy it back and take it apart, they cannot reproduce it, and they may even be unable to reassemble it after dismantling it.

And Li Yuechen intends to simplify civilian motorcycles, weaken their off-road capabilities, and limit their usage scenarios.

It's just sold as an expensive toy, or a means of transportation in the city.
