With Huodou and Xiao Er on board, the whole group headed towards Black Mountain. I wasn't that capable of equipping them all with high-class carriages, so I could only get some durable minivans, but the convoy was still quite a sight.
More than twenty vehicles sped along the way. Because China still has the legacy of the Mohist school of mechanical engineering, it is still very advanced in mechanical engineering. Its firearms, cars and the like are in no way inferior to foreign alchemical products, and in some aspects they are even better.
The car we drive now was specially developed and is a business model. At that time, the high-ranking people used horse-drawn carriages, so the cars were mainly practical. Even if a rich young master wanted to play with a car, he would directly ask the manufacturer to customize one. Therefore, the development of automobiles was very slow, and it was the same abroad.
Even the most aristocratic person must have a carriage pulled by a high-blooded horse; otherwise, they will not be allowed to attend any banquets. If you have reached a certain status but cannot produce a carriage commensurate with it, you will be ridiculed as a nouveau riche.
I didn't care about that. My foundation was indeed too weak. I couldn't even produce an ordinary carriage. I was starting with either an innate spirit or a transformed beast. It was too advanced.
However, using them for long-distance travel would be a bit wasteful. Now that we've acquired a batch of commercial vans, they're perfect, and the quality of these vans is top-notch.
After all, my uncle worked at the First Machinery Factory, and all the parts were custom-made. The whole vehicle is very sturdy, comparable to an armored vehicle, and can completely withstand attacks from light weapons. Now it has become the official car for the club to go out on business.
Moreover, the feedback from those who rode in it was quite positive, and it became quite popular. I rode in one car with Sister Wang and Meiyao, while Crow and Lao Mo drove. The journey was smooth, and no one dared to cause trouble.
We weren't in a hurry, and we took a leisurely approach to sightseeing along the way. When we passed through some small towns, we startled the locals.
After all, very few people like us go out to travel. Those with the means go to more dangerous places. It's not easy for ordinary people to survive, let alone have the leisure to travel.
After all, if you're unlucky, you might just run into some random person and be killed. So the locals find it all very strange, but they didn't dare bother us. There were more than twenty burly men with guns around, and even the local gangs didn't dare show their faces, afraid of getting into trouble and being wiped out.
However, the town mayor couldn't avoid it. He came over nervously to ask what was going on. I didn't make things difficult for him and told him that I was just passing through and would be leaving in a few days.
Fortunately, there was no forced buying or selling by my people; they paid the full price for everything they bought, which greatly boosted the local economy.
We didn't stay long and soon hit the road again.
Looking at the scene on both sides of the road, one can see a vibrant and energetic landscape.
The tall trees with their lush foliage resemble giant green umbrellas, shielding pedestrians from the scorching sun.
Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, dappling the ground like golden spots and creating mesmerizing patches of light and shadow.
The roadside grass is lush and green, and various unknown wildflowers bloom in the grass, their colorful petals like a gorgeous sunset, emitting a charming fragrance.
The fragrance of the flowers drifted in the air like a light veil, delicate and refreshing.
Butterflies fluttered gracefully among the flowers, their fragrance mingling with the blossoms to create a beautiful, dreamlike scene.
The cicadas chirped incessantly, adding a lively and bustling atmosphere to the summer day.
A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, bringing a refreshing coolness and immersing one in the beauty and comfort of summer.
