Chapter 588 Rolls-Royce Silver Phantom(1/2)

 After finishing the work, Zhao Chuanxin was very relaxed and took a walk.

There are row upon row of merchant shops along the street, and it’s not called Shili Foreign Market for nothing.

Zhao Chuanxin even saw a woman pushing a stroller and shopping with a half-grown child.

This made Zhao Chuanxin look strange. The stroller was made of bamboo, with four small wheels that stuck to the ground. The child wearing a heavy cotton-padded jacket could only stand in it, with two arms stuck outside.

Flatbreads, fried dough sticks, rice noodles, and tofu paste, these four breakfast shops, have mostly closed down after noon.

The sun was shining warmly, maybe because of the starry sky, Zhao Chuanxin didn't feel too hungry.

Watching the excitement and walking without feeling tired, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly saw a green-painted car parked outside a noodle shop on the roadside, with two rows of seats at the front and rear, and a cabin. The steering wheel was on the right side, and he got on the right side.

There is also a spare tire in the middle, which seems a bit in the way.

Inside the spare tire, next to the front seat, is the gear lever.

The wheelbase of the car is about 3400mm.

There is a wind light hanging under the left and right rearview mirrors, a wind light hanging on each side of the carport, and two headlights at the front.

Yi Meishan lifted her top hat and scratched her bald head: "Then...it was shipped to Hong Kong Island earlier, and it was only shipped to the sea in recent days. You also know the details."

Mr. Zhao understands.

……

Less than half of Hanyang's steel is used in the manufacture of railroad tracks and firearms.

A laboratory that can be accessed by one car, a whiteboard, a drafting table, and a rocking chair. In the early stage of the design, only those things were missing.

By 1907, coastal cities even had no automobile passenger and freight transportation.

Yi Meishan traveled all over the country and learned a lot, so she quickly said: "Zhao Shenxian, in Suzhou, steamed crabs are fried crabs. The local crab meat is less fat and yellow, and a small crab weighs one pound. Li Bai once praised - crab claws are gold liquid, bad.

Qiu is Penglai. You must drink fine wine and ride on the moon to get drunk on the low platform."

Yi Meishan raised her eyebrows: "What did the male king of your country say?"

Difficult.

The guy was dumbfounded: "No, then go ahead..."

Mr. Zhao emphasized: "We are traveling on a budget. We stay in hotels and go to restaurants every day, and our money suffers."

Even so, Mr. Zhao also felt that his muscles were shaken so much that he didn't feel like he was shot with a fascial gun.

"..."

Jeminge knows practical things, but I am very familiar with the steel industry. At first, I thought that China was inferior to the West because of its small land and rich resources. The ore was used just as it was available, which was basically to test the properties of the ore.

Do I find it strange? And the ban on smoking requires a car? It seems that the Netherlands has no intention of lowering itself.

The emblem on the front is raised, with the "rice" of the British Union Jack flag on it.

Deberg and the foreigner stood up quickly: "Zhang Zhidong."

That is a British Rolls-Royce car. The car was only displayed at the Olympia Auto Show last year. The Rolls-Royce Silver Phantom, with eight cylinders and eight-speed transmission, is currently the worst car in the world.

But the Rolls-Royce Silver Phantom saloon car sells for as low as 700 pounds.

The people inside all cast curious glances.

We've all eaten it.

The crab seller said innocently: "That's not fried crab."

Benjamin Ge Zhao Yixian has a saying, I have a high pursuit of material things.

Under the car, Zhao Chuanxin looked at the scenery passing by in the car window and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Science and technology are changing with each passing day. It's amazing that such a machine consumes human and animal power."

Then there will be no more embarrassment.

Ford Company in the United States, how does Ford build cars?

"Wait until you get to a crowded place and teach him how to drive."

There is such a law and God.

The most important thing is that other cars start manually and have to crank the handle. But this car starts electrically.

Mr. Zhao took out the "Code of Old Gods", thought about it, and decided to do this experiment after dinner.

Yi Meishan babbled: "Zhang Zhidong drove for the first time, why was he so skillful? When you were just learning, the car overturned outside the ditch."

Actually, I'm also curious, but I'm not saying that.

Tang Guoan smacked his lips. He didn't think it was weird at all, but he said it was something else.

Mr. Zhao parked the car, opened the door and put his head out and shouted: "Bring it to you and take a look."

Mr. Zhao's body was shaken by the jolt: "The leaf spring is too hard and it shakes badly. You have to change the suspension. Forget it, there are too few problems. It can be done in a day or two."

Zhao Chuanxin dares to say that this is the car that least resembles a tractor he has ever seen, and it is also the best-looking car he has ever seen.

Maybe I haven’t purchased and shipped it since I returned to the Netherlands from Wilhelmina.

Mr. Zhao was surprised and found that Benjamin Ge, Zhao Yixian and Zhao Chuanxin were eating noodles outside the noodle shop. There were two people sitting next to them, one was Deberg and the other was a foreigner.

I took out the things and left the rest to my apprentice and Zhao Chuanxin.

Ford cars cost only eight to seven hundred dollars each.

Later, a grinder, a drill press and a lathe were added.

Benjamin Ge and Zhao Yixian watched the car speeding on Master's wheel, and he felt proud: "Master, let me drive it for a try."

"..." Zhao Chuanxin secretly said that he had made a small fortune in the United States, so how could he be so fussy about it?

So people who go to sea have already seen cars.

"..." Yi Meishan's face became solemn, and she said like a serious diplomat: "What the male king said is reasonable. Please tell you that the car does need to be lubricated with oil for a long time, otherwise it will rust.

, the car will break down, especially for a noble car like the Rolls-Royce Silver Phantom. Please be sure to tell you that Zhao invited you to come to China as a guest. This must be very boring. Zhao will definitely take you to drive and play.

.During this period, Zhao will practice various driving postures, and he will definitely make the man feel at home, and you will be very happy. I also hope that the man can stop thinking about driving skills and introduce new ones, so as to achieve the state of harmony between man and car.

, I hope you can impress people."

After struggling for a long time, I waited for the engine to cool down and continued on my way.

That somewhat satisfied Zhao Chuanxin's vanity.

Every time he drives a car, Mr. Zhao needs to stop and add water.

Tang Guoan nodded respectfully: "Yes, it was your Wilhelmina king who sent you here specially to express his insult to Zhang Zhidong's anti-smoking work.

Currently, the worst iron factory is in Hanyang.

Only the layout of the two Rolls-Royce Silver Phantoms is different from the previous cars.

Because he wants to make a gun, Mr. Zhao only doesn’t have chrome steel, let alone the worst kinds of special steel in the world.

Tang Guoan said solemnly: "The male king said - that is a broken car. Remember to maintain it after driving it."

He stopped and circled the car twice, feeling a little excited, if he wanted to...

When Jemingo was proficient in practical matters, Cixi sent me to follow the example of the West in phasing out the steel industry. In fact, this was a very forward-looking idea for the Qing court.

Converted into U.S. dollars, it costs several thousand U.S. dollars, a complete luxury item.

Benjamin Ge Zhao Yixian turned out his pocket and said: "Master, what is eating minced meat? We are rich."

That made Hanyang Iron Works lose the shadow of Japan and Germany, but it also created China's first steel enterprise in modern times.

Just before he stepped down, a voice came from the noodle shop: "Master, we are outside."

When Mr. Zhao saw that there was no ancient temple with a plaque on the side of the road, he said: "I saw that he also had a lot of crabs left. You took care of them all. Let's make do with it tonight."

De Burgh and Tang Guoan: "..."

Mr. Zhao wiped his mouth: "Why are you still standing there? Go out and tell you how to operate the car."

The seriousness on Yi Meishan's face disappeared, and she bared her teeth and said with a smile: "I'm worried. Guy, let's have a bowl of Yangchun Snow Noodles and a plate of green onions mixed with tofu. The color should be completely white, and the tofu should be white.

So tender, so tender and slippery..."

Mr. Zhao saw that Zhao Chuanxin was sluggish and asked, "What happened to him?"

Don’t get me wrong, I just untied my shoelaces.

We used those to build the Model T, which was excellent but durable.

The first automobile in China was transported to Hahai from Hong Kong Island by a Hungarian. This was in 1901.

It’s complicated to say, but it takes a lot of effort.

At this time, a car without a shed is called an RV.

Your Majesty must have been thinking about me. He had already prepared to break down the car and bring it to me from thousands of miles away. When he arrived at Hong Kong Island, he found that I had left and had it transported here again.

But Yi Meishan hadn't jumped into the car yet: "Stop the ink, hurry up, light a fire and burn charcoal. Do you have any rice wine? I can't get seven taels of low-liang wine."

Mr. Zhao coughed, stepped on the pedal of the car, reached out to adjust his shoelaces, then retracted his feet, put his hands behind his back and left the noodle shop.
