Chapter 943 The old scholar's painting style changes
Academician Oro stood up tremblingly, and the spectators were even worried that the old man would suddenly jerk away while he was talking. He took a few breaths, and then slowly talked about the current situation inside and outside the castle:
"The electricity genie has just come back and is very weak now. We have lost more than half of the lights, the heater and part of the water supply have also stopped. The technical apprentices found some burned wires and they are replacing those parts, but we don't have enough spare parts...
"
"Prioritize the repair of the heater. You can bring some water from the nearby Water Tank Town. The clean water stored there can supply at least half a month." The castle governor interrupted the bachelor, "Is there any news from Metal Town?"
"Their lights can't be seen from here. I'm afraid the power over there hasn't been restored yet, and the transmitter doesn't work either." Another short, fat man sitting next to the bachelor stood up. "It seems we need to send someone there."
"Then send someone over. You will lead the team and bring a few more people. Be careful that the barbarians from the Iron City State take this opportunity to snatch our galvanized sheets and wires."
"The cold winter is coming," Bachelor Oro still had something to say, "Sir, this darkness should be a warning. The firewood we offered cannot prevent this cold winter, so now we should think about what to do if winter really comes.
Do it. We need to gather the refugees, hoard more supplies, and send envoys to the Iron City State..."
"Bachelor, you are just an expert in machines and light bulbs. Regarding the war, I have the final say." The Castle Governor knocked on the table. "I don't care whether the cold winter you mentioned comes or not. There will be no real war between us and the Iron City State."
Peace, at least I will not take the initiative to cease war with those treacherous barbarians."
The bachelor groaned, but the old man had no intention of challenging the governor's authority on the spot. After sighing heavily, he sat back.
The castle governor concluded the meeting vigorously and arranged all subsequent matters, and then urged Bachelor Oro and the team escorting the bachelor to leave as soon as possible. He actually consulted Hao Ren and other "guest generals" for their opinions, but Hao Ren's
It also meant that it would be best to leave as early as possible, so after asking the old bachelor to make some brief preparations, the group was ready to leave Hearth City.
Hao Ren and the others were waiting for Willy at the intersection in front of Hearth City. Lily crossed her legs and looked at the "Ancestral Furnace" at the end of the horizon. She was a little worried: "We won't walk there, right? We need to bring a
An eighty-year-old man. After walking slowly for these dozens of kilometers, I guess the reactor will explode again..."
Hao Ren was also thinking about this matter in his mind. The gang of supermen around him could run over very quickly. But it was another matter to bring Willy and Oro with him. Willy had seen "witchcraft", so what kind of magic should he use?
It is still possible for technology to bring him there, such as the high-tech Big Dipper in the portable space. The problem is that Bachelor Oro's eighty-year-old heart may not be able to accept the surging speed of the Big Dipper...
However, the entanglement in his heart did not last long when he was interrupted by a "chunk" sound coming from behind him. He only heard a movement like a tractor coming from far and near. He turned around and saw a mysterious vehicle.
The vehicle drove out of Hearth City with black smoke...
I saw that the back half of this vehicle was a square carriage made of iron sheets and wooden boards, and the front was tied to a completely unmatched front end. The engine in the front end was completely exposed to the outside.
The exhaust pipes extend from both sides of the engine, and black smoke "burps" out on both sides of the front of the car. The driver's seat of this car is also quite magical: there is a dark wooden chair, which is fixed to the engine with wires and ropes.
The one at the back is unobstructed. The steering wheel in front of the chair is a curved handle that was removed from somewhere. It is not only curved, but also asymmetrical...
But the most amazing scene is undoubtedly the person sitting on the chair: Academician Oro is sitting there. This thin, old, and weak old scholar sits upright in the chair, with a serious face as he holds the steering wheel. There is a circle around his head.
His fists and hair fluttered slightly in the wind, like an old knight patrolling the battlefield.
This scene made Lily stunned: "Ouch?"
Accompanied by billowing black smoke and deafening chugs, the patchwork iron tractor finally stopped in front of Hao Ren with a creak. Willy poked his head out of the carriage behind. The young man seemed very energetic at this time:
"You've been waiting for a long time. We're leaving now. Get in the car quickly."
Hao Ren pointed at this "car". He was so full of things that he didn't know where to start. He thought about whether he should complain about the world that has degenerated into a cold-weapon feudal dynasty and whether there are still people who know how to drive. Or should he complain about the world.
A tractor made of wooden boards and wires. This magical vehicle is like a performance art, standing majestically between the classic and modern crotches. When it is placed here, it is jaw-dropping.
"Are you surprised?" Bachelor Oro saw Hao Ren's expression in the rearview mirror, and the old man smiled proudly, "Only bachelors who have studied in the Tower of Knowledge for more than six years can obtain the qualification and learn how to control this kind of
It is a steel beast chariot, and there are only three such vehicles in the entire Hearth City. If it had not been for an urgent call from His Majesty the King, the Governor would definitely not have let it go. Don't say any more, get in the car!"
Hao Ren swallowed back his words and dragged Lily into the car. After getting on the car, he found that there were no formal seats in the car because the entire car was just a wooden box tied with wires. The locals
He didn't know how to make car seats, nor how to fix these seats to the chassis of the car. Willy pulled a few folding stools from the back of the car and pushed them in front of Hao Ren and the others: "Please sit down."
Bachelor Oro in the front confirmed that everyone had boarded the car, then greeted everyone to sit down, then shook his bachelor's robe, straightened his posture on the wooden armchair, stepped on the accelerator and started the car.
Lily glanced at the folding stool that Willy pushed over: "Decades ago, when I took the canned train into the city, it was also a Mazar... Oh my god!"
It turned out that when the old bachelor stepped on the accelerator, the combined tractor rushed onto the bumpy road. The violent bumps suddenly made Lily lie down in front of Hao Ren like a dog chewing mud. Hao Ren hurriedly helped the girl up, and then
Seeing other people in the car start to sway vigorously along with the bumps, it turns out that it is meaningless to install any form of seats in this car, because after the car is driven, the entire car is simply in Brownian motion.
Passengers need to use extremely high skills to fix themselves in one position. On the surface, it looks like everyone is sitting on a chair, but in fact, everyone is squatting and vibrating in sync with the carriage...
Willy, a seemingly useless and timid soldier, seemed very calm at this time. As a local, he was used to being shocked...
"Is this car really drivable?" Hao Ren squatted on his horse and asked Willy loudly, "Is there a road outside?"
He still remembered the terrible road conditions he saw when he came from the Road of Plenty. The once smooth Shelter Road had already become as tattered as the Gobi Desert. He quite doubted the art of assembling the car under his butt.
Pin was wondering how far he could run after he hit the road. Feeling the vibrations in the car, he even felt that the car's horizontal mileage and longitudinal mileage were the same...
Willy replied loudly: "It doesn't matter! Main roads are often repaired!"
Hao Ren looked out and saw that the car was driving onto a wider and better road. Although the cement pavement on this road had been cracked and broken, all the potholes had been filled in.
There were signs of peace, which made him feel a little relieved.
But when Maester Oro took his foot off the accelerator and drove the car onto the road, he realized: the road conditions were no help.
The condition of the car is terrible. This car has no shock absorption at all! Its four wheels are not even necessarily round. No wonder a highly intelligent bachelor has to study in that tower for six years before he can learn to drive a tractor.
Because this is not a driving subject at all, this is an extreme sports subject!
Hao Ren followed the synchronized vibration of the carriage and worried whether the various parts of the car would fall off as it ran. At the same time, he looked through the window in front of the carriage at Bachelor Oro who was sitting on the front of the car outside. The old man was sitting on a wire.
He was sitting on a back chair tied to the engine with a rope, and his clothes and hair were flying in the wind. He was particularly worried about what the old man would do if he lost his seat and fell from the chair...
"My impression of this bachelor has been overturned," Nangong Sanba said to his sister, "No one on earth who is sixty years younger than him would dare to play like this."
Hao Ren was vibrating synchronously with the car while thinking to himself: If this car is thrown on the earth, let alone whether anyone would dare to drive it, whether you can recognize it is still a question. If you just throw this thing on the road, if you don't drive it
No one else knows what this is for... (To be continued.)
