Chapter 337, Another Use of Gasoline Engines

With his outstanding calmness, Alonso finally stopped the car. This place is about one kilometer away from the dock, but Alonso dared not drive this car anymore. He parked the car on the side of the road and then started to cause difficulties. What should we do now? During those days of study, he also had a little contact with car repairs, but to be honest, how could he learn anything in a few days? For example, the brake system problem was not something he could handle. Normally, he should go to Volkswagen guys immediately to let them see what was wrong. But this car is not

If you can, you can throw it here, otherwise, although there are a lot of things on the car, and there are no people around you now, Alonso knows that as long as no one looks at it, some guys will suddenly appear next to the car as if they are coming out of the ground, and then it will take at most half an hour, maybe only ten minutes, and the things in this car will evaporate from the world. This place is outside the city, and there are no public cars. It will take at least two and a half hours to walk to Volkswagen from here. It takes such a long time, let alone goods, even the car itself, it is hard to say what can be left.

Or walk to the dock first and ask the people on the dock to come over and watch the goods first, and then find a way? However, it will take dozens of minutes to go from here to the dock. No one dares to say how much goods can be there.

Therefore, Alonso had to wait here first, wait for other cars or carriages to pass by, and then ask them to go to the dock to call a few people over. It was just that it was almost time for dinner, so the time that they ran on this road, whether it was cars or carriages, was gone. Perhaps their drivers or coachmen had gone to eat.

Alonso waited on the side of the road for a while before he saw a man carrying a winding bicycle, carrying half of the wheel in his other hand. Alonso immediately thought of the person he almost hit, and he quickly met and said to the man: "Brother, the brakes of my car failed just now and couldn't stop. There was almost something wrong... How about it? Brother, are you okay?"

Alonso noticed that the man's clothes had been torn several times, and a large side was torn to the sleeves of the white shirt inside revealed the sleeves of the underside. A large hole was torn on his pants, and it was covered with dust. The man's face was even blue and purple, and his eyes were swollen on his left.

"Look at me like this, do you seem to be fine?" Subi said, looking at Alonso with his eyes slanted, estimating the size and strength of the guy opposite. At the same time, he was thinking that if he fought, he could not do this damn guy. After observation, Subi came to a conclusion that made him very frustrated: the guy opposite was about one head taller than him, and his body was very strong, and if he was injured, he probably couldn't beat him. After realizing this, Subi felt more and more depressed.

After making a promise to pay compensation and promise to provide commissions, Subi agreed to help Alonso ask someone to see the car. At the same time, as a reporter, he was also interested in whether the newly emerging cars really had performance defects.

A few hours later, the people from "Volkswagen" arrived. After carefully studying the situation of the car, they came to the conclusion that there was no problem with the car, and it must be that the driver was too tired and had a mistake in operation. In short, just like the company of the same name in another time and space, no matter what the problem was, even if the axle was broken, it was definitely not a design defect or quality problem, but an improper operation. And what's more serious is that Volkswagen got in the car, drove for a while, and tried the brakes, and there was really no problem. Even Alonso went up and tried it, and he had to admit that the brakes were good now.

"But just now... it was obvious..." Alonso murmured.

"You must have gotten something wrong just now." Even Subi said so.

...

"Captain Adok! Captain Adok! I'm back." Bobby started yelling before he entered the door.

"Ah, Bobby is still so uneasy." Captain Adock said to Nelson with a smile, opening the window, then he stretched out his head and shouted at Bobby: "Bobby, come here, come here!"

"Okay, Captain!" Bobby responded, and ran over from here.

"Captain, do you have something to do? Then I'll go out first?" Nelson said. As a piglet bought by Vito, Nelson has performed very well in smuggling operations over the past two years. Now he has paid off the money he owed Mr. Vito. According to the truth, he can leave the ship and not do such adventures. However, during this period, Nelson found that he had completely fallen in love with the sea and fell in love with this kind of adventure life like walking on a sharp knife. What's more, if you continue working, all the money you earn is his own. Moreover, because of his outstanding performance, Captain Adock promised that if he stayed, he would be willing to give him more wages.

"Nelson's skills are pretty good. But this technology is not worth the price I give him now. However, there is one thing that Nelson cannot compare with others, that is, this guy is very lucky. Look, since this guy arrived on our ship, how many things have happened to us that have gone to danger? A while ago, we sent him to do things, but there were a lot of things on the ship immediately, right?" It is said that Captain Adock explained to the first mate at that time. After thinking about it, he also agreed with Captain Adock's opinion. So Nelson became a sailor and mascot on the "Mississippi Slut".

"Ah, this matter is also related to you, so you can listen together." Captain Adok said.

At this time, Bob had already come over and didn't knock on the door. He pushed the door and came in just as soon as he pushed it.

"Bob, did you buy it?" asked Captain Adok.

"I bought it. I've driven it back. I just parked outside the yard." Bob replied.

"Very good, how about it? Is driving fun?" Adok asked.

"Funny." Bob replied.

"Then hurry up and play. It won't take long to play," said Captain Adok.

"Hell!" said Bob.

"Captain, can you tell me what you are talking about?" Nelson asked.

...

It turned out that Volkswagen's advertisements also reached Florida. So Captain Adock saw related advertisements in the newspaper. On a machine that was no bigger than a carriage, it actually contained a forty-hp engine. So Captain Adock immediately thought that if the engine could be installed on his smuggling boat, wouldn't his smuggling boat do anything to smuggle?

So Captain Adock immediately sent Bob over and asked him to contact Vito, so that he could buy an engine from Volkswagen and put it on his boat to try. However, soon Bob sent a telegram back, saying that Mr. Vito told him that the engine production was limited and that all of it must be used in the car, and there was no surplus to sell it, and he had no more good solutions. So Adock had to instruct him to buy a whole truck just to come back. But even the whole truck was not so easy to order. Fortunately, Mr. Vito still had some means and successfully ordered a Volkswagen truck for them, and they arranged the train to send the thing back. Moreover, Mr. Vito even worked on Volkswagen and asked them to send an assistant to help Adock modify the ship. Of course, this was not free. The entire service fee was almost more expensive than the car.

So a few days later, the 40-horsepower gasoline engine was moved to a small sampan. It was simply and roughly installed on a pedestal that could rotate left and right on the stern part of the ship. The power it output was directly connected to a propeller that could rotate with the engine without even passing through the transmission system. Therefore, the world's first smuggling special airship appeared.

Of course, compared to another time and space, the maximum speed of this "speedboat" with only one 40 horsepower engine is only 24 knots. After loading with cargo, the speed will drop to only about fifteen or sixteen knots. However, this is enough, because the Spaniards have no warship that can reach this speed at all.

After loading this thing, Captain Adok added another special smuggling artifact. However, Captain Adok was a person who could not keep the secret, especially when attending the meeting of the Seamen's Alcohol Abstinence Association and performing in public how to quit alcohol 8 to 10 times within an hour. Of course, the so-called quit alcohol refers to Captain Adok who finished drinking a bottle in his hand, but before he had time to open the next bottle of wine. Just like the guys in some places played a 5-hour protest in turn, this interval was called "a successful quit alcohol" by Captain Adok.

Just during a "successful quit drinking", Captain Adock told the story of buying a car and modifying a speedboat when he was not careful. So, the story immediately spread in the smuggling circle in Florida. Then, not long after, "Volkswagen" continued to receive orders from Florida. After buying a car, these buyers would even directly drop the engine off and take it away, and sell all the other parts to those companies that purchased auto parts (actually Volkswagen is also owned by Volkswagen).r1058
