Chapter 18 An Automotive Engineer’s Dream

Terai's dream is to be an automotive engineer.

This dream originated from his experience of riding a bus when he was a child. The roaring "engine sound" and vibration of the bus made a child extremely excited. Especially when he saw the driver, just twisting a pole and turning a steering wheel, the entire bus

When it magically started to work and took people to where they wanted to go, at that moment Terai dreamed that one day he would also build cars.

Later, Terai really became an automotive engineer.

A car is not just a car. In modern society, it has become something like human hands and feet. This is Terai’s idea. And Terai’s research direction in automotive technology is the throttle control response-to allow people to truly use the

Use your own hands and feet to control the car.

The error between throttle control and actual engine response is the reason that prevents people from controlling the car as they wish.

Terai is committed to continuously reducing this error.

Keep making this error smaller and smaller.

Think about how exciting it would be to make cars truly look like human hands and feet.

Terai worked tirelessly to study this technology in the company. He did not understand the humanities and sophistication of running a workplace.

Others only regard his "forgetting food and sleep" as a show. Colleagues ostracize him and make small reports about him. It's okay, Terai doesn't care about this.

His superiors deducted his research funds. No problem, Terai took out his salary and started research at his own expense.

Others ridiculed his research as useless, but Terai silently recorded the experimental data and compiled his results into papers one after another.

In this way, day after day, year after year, Terai endured ridicule and ridicule from others.

Finally, on that day, Terai succeeded. He invented a method of controlling the throttle linearly, which could minimize the error between the throttle control and the actual engine response. This greatly improved the car's maneuverability and improved the safety of the car in emergencies.

Braking performance under high pressure. Although there is still a long way to go before large-scale affordable mass production, a new era has arrived.

Terai was awarded 150 million yuan by the company for this invention.

150 million yuan is not a small sum. What are you going to do with this money? Terai smiled like a child. He still wanted to get on board and own a vehicle equipped with the "bus linear control throttle" he invented.

So, he bought the Rolls-Royce, which was the first car equipped with "general linear control throttle".

The remaining 30 million is used to invest in insurance, which is enough to live a comfortable life.

This is all my wish.

But later, there was a car accident, and the Rolls-Royce worth 120 million was completely destroyed. My colleagues gloated and laughed at the misfortune, laughing that they were fools and used the money to buy luxury cars, while my wife was at home every day, in front of the children, talking about

He talks harshly to himself.

For a moment, Terai felt that he was so tired.

Why do I have to suffer so many glares and bad words when I simply pursue one of my desires?

Why do you have to suffer so much unfair treatment just for simply pursuing one of your wishes?

I...I just want the car to become as flexible and controllable as human hands and feet.

What did I do wrong?!

…

Eto Law Firm.

Terai took a deep breath and stared at his wife Nazue in front of him.

Nazujiang was stunned. She didn't expect Terai to yell at her like this. She and Terai met when they were students. She initially fell in love with Terai because of his honest and dull character, which could tolerate her temperament as a young lady. She

She had long been accustomed to Terai's tolerance. Unexpectedly, today, Terai... actually got angry at her.

Terai's eyes were a little red and his hands were trembling slightly. Thinking of the ridicule he had suffered in the workplace and not being understood by his wife in the past decades, he opened his mouth and his voice suddenly choked up: "That...that's not a car.

Luxury car, that... that's... my... one of my children!"

There should be no one in this world who can understand me.

Suddenly, Terai felt his shoulder being tapped twice.

As if there was a familiar old friend standing next to him, he patted her twice gently.

Patting gently, like a magical power, slowly healed Terai's disappointment, sadness, and anger.

How long has it been since someone patted my shoulder like this?

I have no friends in the company.

In the family, my partner doesn’t understand me either.

It's been a long time since I've been tapped on the shoulder like this.

Looking up, it was the young lawyer named "Kitahara" in front of him who was patting him on the shoulder.

He smiled.

He was obviously only in his twenties, but for some reason, his eyes also revealed the same vicissitudes of life as his own.

Beihara's lips moved, and he heard a magnetic male voice say: "Mr. Terai must have been very hard over the years."

With a splash, it was like a stone being thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

It's like a corner of my heart has been pried open.

Terai was stunned. For some reason, at this moment, he felt that in this world, only the young man named "Kitahara" in front of him could understand his emotions and his grievances.

Terai's lips moved, but no sound came out.

Kitahara patted Terai on the shoulder, turned around, and said to Miyagawa: "Clean up the conference room and bring out some candies. Let our client have a good chat."

Although Kitahara didn't know what the client in front of him had gone through, why he bought this luxury car, and why he called this luxury car his "child". However, Kitahara could see the bitterness in Terai's eyes.

It was not easy, and I realized the helplessness of not being understood.

Perhaps this emotion also touched Beiyuan's heartstrings inexplicably.

I thought of a certain man in my previous life, a certain man before his rebirth, and he seemed to be living with this emotion.

Sitting in the conference room were Terai, Natsue, Miyagawa and Kitahara. Terai seemed to have finally opened a conversation that had been closed for decades. The sadness on his face disappeared, as if he had met a close friend, and he was as excited as a child.

Talking about his experiences over the years - childhood dreams, fun stories in the workshop, depression during research and development, annoyance when data is lost, pride when experiments are successful.

Although Natsuki had a dark face, he had been listening to her husband's words quietly and did not interrupt arrogantly. Everyone just listened to Terai telling his story endlessly.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The clock points to half past one.

Within a few hours, Terai seemed to have finally found someone to talk to. He danced and talked, not caring whether the audience really understood the terms of automotive engineering and mathematics. Anyway, Terai just wanted to talk about it and make him understand what he had learned over the years.

All the thoughts and emotions accumulated over the years were poured out.

During these few hours, Terai felt very happy.

The burden that I had been carrying on my body suddenly seemed to be lifted off.

This was the first time that he spoke freely about his thoughts in front of others.

This was also the first time that my wife listened to her talk about her dreams for many years so quietly and seriously.
