Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 357 The first motorcycle
Beijing in early spring is still a bit cold, especially in the morning and evening, the cold wind is still biting.

However, the midday sun was very warm.

In addition, the north is relatively dry, not as humid as Baishi City, so basking in the sun at noon is a very enjoyable thing.

On this day, when Li Changfeng was basking in the sun and was about to fall asleep, Xiaotong trotted over and said softly, "Your Highness, someone from the Research Institute has come and said that the motorcycle has been built. Please come and have a test drive!"

"It was built so quickly!?"

Li Changfeng sat up abruptly, his face full of surprise.

This was half a month earlier than he expected.

"Well, that's what the people from the scientific research institute said."

"OK!"

Li Changfeng laughed loudly, and immediately rushed to the scientific research institute.

He looked forward to motorcycles more than steam trains or steam cars.

The internal combustion engine is small in size and high in power, and the fuel is lightweight gasoline, which is very convenient to use.

He rode a steed and galloped all the way to the scientific research institute. From a distance, he saw a group of people headed by Liang Dafu gathered together, with the roar of engines in the middle.

Hearing this voice, Li Changfeng couldn't help showing nostalgia.

In his previous life, when he was a child, his father owned a Qianjiang, and he often took him around. He still misses the feeling of being so fast.

When he was a little older, he rode a bicycle secretly, and was often beaten by his father.

Later, when I grew up and worked in a city where motorcycles were prohibited, the means of transportation was buses at first, then electric cars, and finally cars.

But after returning to his hometown, he would ride his father's motorcycle from time to time and walk on the country roads, which was really comfortable.

Unexpectedly, in this world, the sound of motorcycles was heard again.

What made his teeth ache was that the sound of this motorcycle was really too loud, almost catching up with the tractor.

This is mainly due to the poor sound reduction effect of the exhaust cylinder.

However, he didn't care about these details, and walked quickly towards the crowd.

A entourage shouted "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince is here", everyone quickly dispersed and stood aside, and the first motorcycle of Daqian came into view.

Li Changfeng glanced at it, and said he was really happy when he said he was happy, and he was really disappointed when he said he was disappointed.

Let’s talk about the appearance first. It’s just a bicycle with thickened and enlarged materials. The appearance design has no aesthetic feeling, and it can even be said to be a bit ugly.

Most notably the engine.

Although it is only a four-stroke single-cylinder engine, it is larger than the two-cylinder engine he has seen, and it looks very bulky.

Next is the fuel tank, which is shaped like a bucket and is as ugly as it needs to be.

No other details can be mentioned.

To sum it up in one word: ugly!

The only thing worthy of praise is the cushion, which can be seen to be made of genuine leather, and a lot of cotton is stuffed inside.

This is also the result of Li Changfeng's deliberate request to improve comfort.

However, after all, it is the first motorcycle in Daqian, and also the first motorcycle in the world. Li Changfeng can't ask too much, he just hopes that it can work normally.

"Your Highness, you're finally here. Hurry up and test the car. When you're done, give us your opinions so we can improve."

Liang Dafu is used to asking Li Changfeng for improvement. Every time he can get extremely useful information, which greatly improves the quality of everything.

Li Changfeng asked as he walked, "Is the gas tank full?"

"It's full, enough for you to run for half a day!"

"Do you have brakes?"

"There must be. Even a train can be stopped, so what is it to stop a motorcycle? Your Highness, you can rest assured to test the car!" Liang Dafu said confidently.

"it is good!"

Li Changfeng nodded in satisfaction, and while speaking, he had already arrived in front of the motorcycle, and he raised his legs and rode on it.

Put in gear, fuel up, and start.

The motorcycle jerked forward and then stalled.

"The throttle design is not linear enough, you need to stabilize the output, understand? Your behavior is tantamount to increasing the difficulty of riding."

Li Changfeng put forward the first improvement suggestion.

"understood!"

Liang Dafu wrote down carefully, Li Changfeng started the motorcycle again, slowly fueled it, and after the speed stabilized, the car kicked off, and the car started driving steadily.

Liang Dafu was amazed.

"It feels like His Highness has been riding a motorcycle for many years, and I got started so quickly. I tried dozens of times before I could barely walk a distance."

Everyone else nodded.

While speaking, Li Changfeng had already ridden more than [-] meters.

He tried the brakes.

Step on it lightly, and the wheel locks up directly.

Fortunately, he stepped on the rear brake. If it had been on the front wheel, the car might have rolled over.

"Liang Dafu, the brakes are too hard, adjust them!"

Li Changfeng shouted and put forward his second suggestion for improvement.

So far, he has mastered the characteristics of this motorcycle and accelerated towards the capital.

The guards behind him panicked.

The rider on the horse slapped his horse wildly, and the rider on the bicycle kicked hard with his feet.

"His Royal Highness, please slow down!"

"Your Highness, we can't keep up!"

"..."

After finally riding the motorcycle, Li Changfeng was still a little excited.

Because many problems can only be found during long-distance riding, and only he can raise them, Li Changfeng needs to ride for a long time.

Soon, the motorcycle arrived in the capital.

Because of its huge engine roar, it attracted the attention of the city gate guards from afar.

"What is that sound?"

"It seems to be coming from that bicycle-like thing in the distance."

"What a strange thing."

"Do you think the person riding that thing is His Royal Highness Ninth Prince?!"

"Good guy, it's true!"

"It's so fast, let the people at the gate of the city get out of the way!"

"..."

Suddenly, there was chaos at the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city hurriedly shouted at the surrounding people to open the way, for fear of blocking Li Changfeng's way.

In fact, they didn't need to remind them, the pedestrians on the road also heard the sound of the motorcycle, and many of them knew Li Changfeng, so they gave way consciously.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, Li Changfeng roared past.

Because the combustion technology is far from mature enough, the gasoline is not fully burned, and the black smoke emitted from the exhaust pipe fills the streets with a pungent smell.

But no one at the scene cared about the smell, they all stared wide-eyed, watching Li Changfeng's back gradually going away with an expression of disbelief.

"What is this thing that can run so fast?!"

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has come up with such a miraculous thing again without making a sound!"

"It's much faster than a horse, and it's so small that it doesn't take up much space. It doesn't seem to use a steam engine, but it's much better than a bicycle!"

"His Highness the Ninth Prince is truly a god!"

"If this thing can be popularized, it will definitely benefit the world!"

"It will definitely be popularized, just like bicycles, sooner or later, His Highness will be on the market!"

"Then I must buy one!"

"..."

Just when everyone was talking about a cup of tea, Li Changfeng's guards entered the city anxiously.
