Chapter 1552 go for a ride

An impressive scene appeared in the streets of the 17th century. A black tin four-wheeled car was running on the ancient and wide main street, and the pedestrians around them consciously made way for the black monster.

This is the first time Chu Yun has taken an early four-wheeled car as a passenger.

How to say, this car with only two seats looks a bit petite, the problem is that it only has two seats, so that he and Princess Sophia are next to each other, with a faint smell of spice coming from the tip of their noses, which is more distracting than the surrounding scenery.

This made Chu Yun's guards suffer. They needed to ride bicycles to barely follow the four-wheeled car to protect their safety.

"A car is really amazing. It can run without human and animal power." Sofia held the steering wheel, her face flushed because of excitement.

"Because this is the use of gasoline to convert the energy burned into mechanical energy," Chu Yun said.

"The principle is very simple, but it is too difficult to implement this process. Who can understand the complex structure inside? Mr. Chu, should we drive out of the city?" asked Princess Sophia.

"Yes." Chu Yun didn't care.

"Which city gate?"

"Xizhimen, you can go to Xiangshan to have a look." Chu Yun was found by Sofia anyway, so he temporarily put down his affairs.

Sofia drove the car to Xizhimen. When the officers and soldiers of Xizhimen saw the four-wheeled car coming out with a convertible, several people came over to interrogate.

"This is the car of the military master's mansion." The guards who were riding a bicycle panted and came to communicate with the officers and soldiers of Xizhimen.

"Then you go out." The officers and soldiers heard that it was the car from the military leader's mansion and did not violate the rules, so they easily let it go.

Someone who can get a car at this time must be a big shot.

The soldiers guarding the city gate did not recognize Chu Yun, and more people's eyes focused on Princess Sophia.

Princess Sofia seemed cautious in the city to avoid residents. After leaving Xizhimen, Sofia suddenly stepped on the accelerator and galloped all the way, leaving the guard riding a bicycle far behind.

"Ahhhh!" Princess Sophia even opened her hands and yelled, allowing the wind to whistle by.

"Hey, you still have to pay attention to safety when driving..." Chu Yun did not expect that the maximum speed of cars produced by the automobile factory had reached 40 to 50 kilometers per hour.

It would be fine if it was on a spacious and gentle road, but the road outside Xizhimen was still a dirt road, because the tires used at this time were relatively poor in shock resistance and were quite bumpy, and the two people would sway around even if they were next to each other.

"There are too many people in the city, and it is still spacious outside the city. If the road outside the city can be as straight and spacious as the road inside the city, the experience will definitely be much better." Sofia put her hands back on the steering wheel and stabilized the violently swaying steering wheel.

Chu Yun was just smiling. The best official road at present should be the new official road from Beijing to Tianjin Wei, which was contracted and built by a group of merchants.

There is no money to build new roads in other places yet.

If it weren't for the poor road conditions in the wild and the poor shock-proof performance of the tires, Chu Yun would have enjoyed the feeling of the breeze in the wild. This car does not have a windshield, so the wind is facing it.

There were scattered porters on the official road. The farmer was walking on the roadside when he saw a black monster galloping past two people, and was amazed at the black monster.

Fortunately, there are many strange machines and factories in the capital, and people no longer yell.

A large carriage was walking in the middle of the official road, and the wealthy businessman wearing Yonggui silk clothes sat in the carriage, shaking slightly due to the bumps.

Beep! The whistle of the car sounded behind the carriage, frightening the horses leading the carriage, and couldn't help but speed up the carriage.

The driver who drove the carriage quickly grabbed the frightened horse with his skillful driving skills and asked the carriage to lean against the roadside.

"What happened?" The rich businessman lifted the curtains on the right side of the carriage and found a strange iron carriage passing by quickly, quickly moving away, rolling up sand and dust on the road and black smoke.

The wealthy businessman and the carriage-driver were stunned and stood there and couldn't come back to his senses.

"It's so fast, it's like pulling a carriage with eight horses, but won't they feel bumpy?" The wealthy businessman saw the four-wheeled car that had been ahead for a long distance and felt that it was magical.

"Shopkeeper, it seems that it is going to start raining." said the groom who was driving the car.

"It's raining?" The rich businessman stretched out his hand, and indeed raindrops fell on his palm.

Soon it started to rain lightly in the wild, so Sophia had to park her car on the side of the dirt road, and then worked together to pull up the folding tent to shelter from the rain.

Because there is no windshield, it is not easy to continue driving, otherwise you will be wet by the rain blowing into the car.

"It's really bad. Why did it rain in good weather?" Chu Yun saw that the guards were thrown by Princess Sophia, and the two of them were trapped by the rain again, so he had to wait in the car for the guards behind to catch up or wait for the rain to stop.

"I don't think it's bad." Sophia mustered up the courage, snuggled up on Chu Yun's shoulder, enjoying the rare tenderness.

Chu Yun didn't know how to deal with it for a moment. To be honest, he had already accused of taking Sophia in. What's going on now? Is Charles I going to become his brother-in-law?

Chu Yun didn't know that Charles I had been killed, so he didn't have so much concern.

"Mr. Chu, when will you come to where Xiao Xiuer and I live... for a night or something..." Sophia said boldly.

Her hot eyes made Chu Yun a little scared, afraid that he would not go back.

If it were Xiao Xiu'er, Chu Yun believed that she would not have said such straightforward words, but for Sophia, who was not afraid of heaven or earth, it was so direct that it was in line with her personality.

"If I have free time, I will go..." Chu Yun had no choice but to agree temporarily.

The rain in the wild lasted for a long time before stopping. When the guards rushed over to protect themselves, Princess Sophia sat seriously in her seat and straightened the ends of her hair with her hands.

The guards were unlucky, and they rode their bicycles to chase the four-wheeled cars in the heavy rain, and their clothes and even muskets were wet.

Chu Yun couldn't bear to let the guards continue to ride their bicycles to chase them, so he asked Sophia to slow down the speed.

Before he knew it, the automobile technology was already very good. After taking a four-wheeled car this time, Chu Yun had the idea of ​​ordering several cars from the car factory for travel. Wherever he could use machines, it was better than human and animal power.
