Castle of Black Iron

Volume 42 Chapter 5

Under the pressure of the mountains, they relaxed instantly. Those who wore military uniforms were fine, but the few engineers in the uniforms immediately went limp. If they weren't supported by someone next to them, they might have to sit down on the ground all at once.

Who would have imagined that Master Du Zai would actually make such a joke to everyone, such a joke is really too scary.

Zhang Su himself also let out a sigh of relief. Although Taixia knights killed people for no reason, they still have to die, but in fact, there are definitely fewer knights in Taixia who killed ordinary people than the demon shadow demons he heard. If Cheng Honglie really killed all the people present in anger, no one except Zhang Tie would be willing to find a supervisor to trouble a group of ordinary soldiers, or someone would find all kinds of reasons to prove that the supervisor The "necessity" and "legitimacy" of your action at this time—for example, you find a spy with three eyes in the crowd, or you are disrespectful to the supervisor, or the supervisor accidentally injured you by chasing the blood demon, etc. —No matter where, as long as there are people, power and power will have a strong influence, which is determined by human nature, and it is the same everywhere.

These thoughts flashed through Zhang Su's mind, and Zhang Su took a deep breath, "I can take Lord Superintendent to find the suzerain, but the place where the suzerain is now is about 200 kilometers away from here. What kind of transportation will you take, do I need to inform the flying boat led by Zhulong to come here to meet your lord?"

Zhang Su didn't see the flying boat that Lord Duzai was on, and thought that Lord Duzai and the knight attendant next to him flew directly from the sky, so he asked this question. As Lord Duzai, in terms of etiquette, worthy of such a welcome.

Cheng Honglie waved his hand, and pointed to the some cool-looking military off-road vehicles parked over there, "No need, just take the car over there..."

"Okay, Lord Supervisor, please follow me..." Zhang Su simply said a few words to an officer beside him, and then led Cheng Honglie and Gao Tianqi towards a military vehicle over there.

When he came to the military vehicle, Zhang Su opened the trunk of the car door, took out a metal crank from the trunk, took the metal crank to the front of the vehicle, and inserted one end of the crank into the front of the military vehicle In a hole in the car, with a strong hand, just shook it a few times easily, the engine of the off-road vehicle started to rotate, and there was a low and pleasant roar, and a cloud of smoke began to be ejected from the exhaust pipe at the rear of the car .

Gao Tianqi's eyes lit up, "A car with a candle oil engine?"

"good……"

Cheng Honglie also took a look at the military vehicle, and then sat in the back row of the vehicle. Zhang Su put away the crank handle and sat in front with Gao Tianqi.

"Bang..." "Bang..." Close the door a few times, put down the handbrake, put on the gear, step on the accelerator, and the whole car starts to gallop. Speed, power, smoothness, controllability, and torque output range are all superior. People sitting in the car, although there are noises in the car, but this noise is less than the noise of ordinary steam engines. It is much lower. Once the windows are closed, even if the car starts speeding on the dirt road, the noise in the car is estimated to be only 40 to 50 decibels.

After getting into the car, Mr. Duzai stopped talking and just looked at the scenery outside the car window. On the contrary, Gao Tianqi was very interested in this car, so he chatted with Zhang Su. In this way, the atmosphere in the car It's not too embarrassing either.

"Is the engine used by this car the same as the aircraft engine on the Zhulong collar?"

"No, the engine used in this car is much smaller than the engine used in the plane,

The cylinder volume is only 5 liters and more than 320 horsepower. The cylinder volume of the engine on the Air Cavalry 1 is 18.5 liters, and the combined horsepower output can reach more than 1,500 horsepower. The specific structure of the two engines is also somewhat different. The latest engine products produced by the engine factory, this car and those cars just now are the first batch of trial vehicles handed over to the Candle Dragon Legion. It has not yet been officially produced and equipped, and it is used to find problems..."

"Is there a problem?"

"have!"

"what is the problem?"

"That's why this car is so easy to drive. Anyone who has driven this car is unwilling to touch those steam-powered cars before..."

Gao Tianqi looked at Zhang Su who was driving the car with a serious face, and he didn't know whether Zhang Su's words just now were humorous or he thought it was really a problem.

While talking, this military off-road vehicle has rushed out of the mountain road in the valley, and came to a wider field lying flat. There are no kilometers here, but the terrain is flat and open, and it is a piece of hard land , as the gear changes and the accelerator gradually increases, the speed of the off-road vehicle gradually soars to nearly 200 kilometers per hour. This is a speed that ordinary steam-powered vehicles can never reach. Cars are only possible on standard roads.

After driving for half an hour, I gradually came to an inhabited area from the wilderness, and got on the official road. On both sides of the road, there were large tracts of farmland and towns. The summer harvest of wheat in the farmland brought prosperity and prosperity. joy.

When passing by a wheat field being harvested by the roadside, seeing people busy in the field in full swing, the governor asked Zhang Su to stop the car, parked the car on the side of the road, and then got out of the car to harvest in person I looked at the edge of the wheat field, picked up a handful of heavy ears of wheat and rubbed them.

The ears of wheat are rubbed open, revealing the plump and crystal-clear wheat inside. This wheat seems to be a new variety. The grains inside are not only plump, but the ends of the grains are also somewhat elongated. Under the sun, the wheat has a shiny The golden light, if you look closely, the color of the wheat grains is a little reddish in the golden yellow, just holding it in your hand, you can smell a natural aroma of wheat grains on the wheat grains.

Even if he doesn't farm, Lord Du Zai knows that what he holds in his hand is definitely a good handful of wheat, a variety of wheat he has never seen before.

"My fellow, how is your harvest this year?"

At this time, Lord Superintendent, with a friendly face, was talking to a farmer in his forties who was harvesting wheat in the field.

In the wheat field, a steam wheat harvester was harvesting wheat, and the farmer in his forties was tidying up the straw left by the steam wheat harvester and shoveling it onto the bullock cart.

Seeing that Zhang Su was wearing the military uniform of the Candle Dragon Legion, and that Mr. Duzai and Gao Tianqi were also of extraordinary appearance, the farmer temporarily stopped his work, pulled off the gauze sweat towel covering his mouth and nose, Showing a dark and simple face, he replied with a smile, "This year's harvest is better than last year. I estimate that this year, we can harvest more than 800 kilograms per mu..."

The fields in Zhulongling are naturally not as fertile as the fields in Ninghe County. Even if the ordinary fields are well taken care of, the amount of wheat per mu is about 700 kilograms, so the farmer said that more than 800 kilograms is considered a bumper harvest.

Lord Superintendent nodded, "What was your harvest per mu of land last year?"

"It's just about 700 kilograms!"

"Why are there so many this year?"

"That's thanks to Master Qianji, the lord of the Candle Dragon Collar. Last year, when the real Qianji came to the Candle Dragon Collar, he sent people to send out a lot of wheat seeds. Everyone saw that the wheat seeds were bigger than the usual wheat seeds we kept. It was still full, so I planted it dubiously. I didn’t expect that the yield of this kind of wheat would be so high. Two days ago, someone who harvested grain came to see this wheat and was willing to buy it at a price that was 30% higher than the market price. Selling, I have been planting for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such good wheat. I plan to use the wheat harvested this year as a seed..."

"It doesn't take so much to plant seeds!"

"I still have a few relatives in Lingfeng County. I heard that their summer grain harvest this year has also been cut off. A few days ago, I heard that the summer grain harvest here was not cut off. Several relatives came to see me. The wheat in this wheat field, a few people say that they want me to leave some seeds for them to take back in a few days, and this kind of wheat is absolutely nourishing, even if it can’t be used up, I plan to keep it at home Eat, reluctant to sell, food disasters are happening everywhere now, it is better to prepare more food at home, and when you are going to be hungry, no matter how much gold and silver you have, you can't eat it..."

After chatting with the farmer for a few words, Lord Du Zai returned to the car, Gao Tianqi and Zhang Su also changed positions, with Zhang Su as the navigator and Gao Tianqi driving.

...

An hour later, the off-road vehicle drove to the Yangui Mountains, more than 100 kilometers south of Xuantian City. When entering this area, there were already inspection posts and personnel on the road. In the car, after two more inspections, the off-road vehicle finally drove into a manor by the lake.

This manor has a beautiful scenery, with the mountains behind and the lake facing, it is a rare scenic spot. When the three of them got out of the car, the governor and Gao Tianqi immediately noticed that in this manor, there seemed to be lakes and mountains everywhere, and the scenery was beautiful. In the middle of the city, however, the guards are heavily guarded, with open posts and secret posts everywhere. When the three of them got out of the car, Mr. Du Zai and Gao Tianqi were locked on by those hidden eyes. If they were not knights, they really wouldn’t have felt these arrangements. Come.

Gao Tianqi led the two of them directly through a garden and a pine forest in the manor to a leisure pier area by the lake.

There are already quite a few people in the pier area. A group of stunning ladies with different looks and strong points are standing in the gazebo by the pier, talking and laughing, and pointing to the center of the lake...

In the middle of the lake, a small steel-hulled boat was speeding across the lake at an alarming speed. The tail of the boat dragged a white line, almost flying up against the lake surface. During the fast speed, the boat splashed a series of waves. Crystal-like waves, in the sun, and a small rainbow looming at the stern...

Every time the boat bumped and flew up on the lake, there were excited exclamations from the children on the boat, as well as Zhang Tie's hearty and joyful laughter, "How is it? To be continued. "")
