Chapter 1553 Going for a Drive

On the streets of the capital city in the 17th century, there was an impressive scene. A black iron four-wheeled vehicle was driving on the old and wide main street, and the surrounding pedestrians consciously gave way to this black monster.

It was also the first time for Chu Yun to ride an early four-wheeled vehicle as a passenger.

How should I put it, this kind of car with only two seats looks a little petite, the problem is that there are only two seats, so that he and Princess Sofia are next to each other, and the faint smell of spices from the nose is easier than the surrounding scenery Distracting.

This was a pain for Chu Yun's guards. They had to ride bicycles to barely follow the four-wheeled vehicle to protect their safety.

"It's amazing that a car can run without manpower or animal power." Sophia held the steering wheel, her face flushed with excitement.

"Because it uses the energy of gasoline combustion to convert it into mechanical energy." Chu Yun said.

"The principle is very simple, but it is too difficult to realize this process. Who can understand the complicated structure inside? Mr. Chu, should we drive out of the city?" Princess Sophia asked.

"Yes." Chu Yun didn't care.

"Which city gate?"

"Xizhimen, you can go to Xiangshan to have a look." Chu Yun was found out by Sophia anyway, so he temporarily put aside his affairs.

Sophia drove a car to Xizhimen. The officers and soldiers at Xizhimen saw an open four-wheeler coming out, and several people came to question them.

"This is the car from the Military Lord's Mansion." The guards who followed on bicycles were out of breath, and came to communicate with the officers and soldiers at Xizhimen.

"Then you go out." The officers and soldiers heard that it was the car of the military lord's mansion, and they did not violate the rules, so they let it go easily.

The one who can get the car at this time must be some big shot.

None of the soldiers guarding the city gate knew Chu Yun, and more people focused their attention on Princess Sophia.

Princess Sophia was cautious in order to avoid the residents in the city. After exiting Xizhimen, Sophia suddenly stepped on the accelerator and galloped all the way, leaving the guards on bicycles far behind.

"Ahhh!" Princess Sophia even opened her hands and shouted, letting the wind howl by.

"Hey, you still have to pay attention to safety when driving..." Chu Yun did not expect that the top speed of the cars produced by the car factory had reached 40 to 50 kilometers per hour.

It would be fine if it was on a spacious and smooth road, but the road outside Xizhimen is still a dirt road, because the tires used at this time have poor anti-vibration ability and are quite bumpy, even if two people are next to each other, they dangle.

"There are too many people in the city, and the outside of the city is still spacious. If the roads outside the city can be as straight and spacious as the roads inside the city, the experience will be much better." Sophia put her hands back on the steering wheel and stabilized the violent Shaky steering wheel.

Chu Yun just smiled. The best section of the official road at present should be the new official road from the capital to Tianjin Wei, which was contracted by a group of businessmen.

Other places don't have the money to build new roads yet.

If it wasn't for the bad road conditions and the poor anti-vibration performance of the tires, Chu Yun would have enjoyed the feeling of the breeze blowing in the wild.The car doesn't yet have a windshield, so the wind is coming straight in.

Scattered porters and farmers on the official road were walking by the side of the road when they saw a black monster speeding past carrying two people, and they were surprised by this black monster.

Fortunately, there are many strange machines and factories in the capital, and people are no longer screaming.

A large carriage was driving in the middle of the official road, and a wealthy businessman in elegant silk clothes was sitting in the carriage, shaking slightly due to the bumps.

beep!The whistle of the car sounded from behind the big carriage, startling the horses pulling the carriage, and they couldn't help speeding up the carriage.

The driver of the carriage hurriedly pulled the frightened horse with his skillful driving skills, and let the carriage lean against the roadside.

"What happened?" The rich businessman opened the curtain on the right side of the carriage, and found a strange iron cart passing by the side of the carriage, and quickly drove away, rolling up dust and black smoke on the road.

The wealthy businessman and the groom who drove the carriage were all stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

"It's so fast, it's like eight horses are pulling a carriage forward, but don't they feel the bumps?" The rich businessman thought it was amazing when he saw the four-wheeled car ahead of him for a long distance.

"Shopkeeper, it seems to be raining." said the groom driving the carriage.

"Is it raining?" The rich merchant stretched out his hand, and sure enough, raindrops fell on his palm.

Soon it began to rain lightly in the field, Sophia had to park the car on the side of the dirt road, and then worked together to pull up the folding tent to avoid the rain.

Because there is no windshield, it is difficult to continue driving, otherwise it will be wet by the rain blowing into the car.

"It's really bad. It's raining when the weather is fine." Chu Yun saw that the guard was thrown by Princess Sofia, and the two of them were trapped by the rain again, so they had to wait in the car for the guards to catch up or wait for the rain to stop. .

"I don't think it's bad." Sophia plucked up her courage and leaned on Chu Yun's shoulder, enjoying the rare tenderness.

Chu Yun didn't know how to deal with it for a while. To be honest, he had tacitly agreed to take in Sophia. What happened now? Could it be that Charles I was going to become his brother-in-law?

Chu Yun didn't know that Charles I had been killed, so he didn't have so many scruples.

"Mr. Chu, you can come to the place where Xiaoxiuer and I live anytime... to spend the night or something..." Sophia said boldly.

The hot eyes in her eyes made Chu Yun a little scared, fearing that there would be no return.

If it was Xiao Xiu'er, Chu Yun believed that she would not say such straightforward words, but for Sophia who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, being so straightforward was in line with her character.

"If I have free time, I will go there..." Chu Yun had no choice but to agree temporarily.

The rain in the field lasted for a while before it stopped. When the guards braved the rain and rushed over to protect her, Princess Sofia sat on the seat solemnly again, smoothing the ends of her hair with her hands.

The guards were unlucky. They chased the four-wheeled vehicles in the heavy rain on bicycles, and their clothes and even their muskets were soaked.

Chu Yun couldn't bear to let the guards continue chasing him on bicycles, so he asked Sophia to slow down.

Unknowingly, the automobile technology has already taken shape. After taking a four-wheeled car this time, Chu Yun came up with the idea of ​​ordering a few cars from the automobile factory for travel.Where machines can be used, it is always better than manpower and animal power.

However, in order to ensure safety, it seems that bulletproof steel plate and bulletproof glass technology must be developed?
