Song Yingxing held a car design drawing that Jiang Tian had given him.
This car design was drawn by Jiang Tian based on the style of cars from the early 20th century.
This type of car has a simple structure.
Ever since Song Yingxing invented the gasoline engine, Jiang Tian has been thinking about building a car.
In his spare time, Song Yingxing mentored more than a dozen apprentices.
After much effort, Song Yingxing finally managed to produce the first automobile of the Daya Dynasty.
Song Yingxing jumped into the car and snapped his fingers at his apprentice, Li Mingzhao.
Li Mingzhao nodded immediately.
The man held a long crank handle with both hands and inserted it into the starter hole of the gasoline engine.
Soon, a violent shaking occurred.
The gasoline engine started quickly.
A wisp of blue smoke slowly emerged from the exhaust pipe.
Song Yingxing was very pleased to see the puff of blue smoke.
The smoke emitted by a gasoline engine is much lighter than that emitted by a steam engine.
"You guys hurry up here," Song Yingxing snapped his fingers at the apprentices.
The apprentices quickly jumped into the car.
Depress the clutch, shift gears, and release the accelerator.
All the movements were performed in one smooth motion.
The car sputtered and started.
Song Yingxing could clearly feel the immense power brought by the gasoline engine.
"Let your teacher take you for a drive." Song Yingxing laughed heartily.
Early cars only had three gears.
One of them is reverse gear.
After starting the car, Song Yingxing quickly shifted the gear to high gear.
The car is going faster and faster.
Soon, the car's speed had exceeded 50 miles per hour.
Fortunately, Song Yingxing's factory was not far from the city wall.
The car sped onto the main road.
Song Yingxing's apprentices sat in the car, gripping the handles tightly, their faces ashen with fear, not daring to even breathe.
"Sir, don't drive this car so fast. If it overturns, it will be a real problem."
Song Yingxing smiled slightly: "It's not that easy to crash. Trust my skills."
They soon arrived at the city gate.
When the guards at the city gate saw Song Yingxing's vehicle rushing towards them, they quickly cleared the crowd and removed the roadblocks.
Song Yingxing's car sped out of the city gate.
On the street, several Japanese people exchanged glances.
"The general said that this guy named Song Yingxing is very important. If we can capture Song Yingxing, we will be able to build the powerful Frankie Cannon."
"It's difficult to make a move inside the city, but it's easier to make a move outside the city." Jiu Jiu waved his hand. "Contact the ninjas inside and outside the city. This time, we must take Song Yingxing away."
"Hey..." Soon, the dozen or so people disappeared into the street.
Jiujiu Intelligent rode a horse and galloped out of the city.
The Japanese man's horse was a fine horse; however, to his surprise, he exerted all his strength, whipping it so hard it seemed to whistle through the air.
The distance between his warhorse and Song Yingxing's car was getting further and further apart.
Song Yingxing's car kicked up a cloud of dust as it drove by.
Jiujiu Intelligent was choked by the dust and coughed repeatedly.
"That despicable Great Xia man, Baka Yalu, if it weren't for the fact that he's useful to us, I would really like to kill him with one blow."
Song Yingxing sped all the way.
The car was going faster and faster.
To his surprise, he was able to drive the car at 70 mph on his first test.
Such speed was unimaginable in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
This means that one can travel two or three hundred miles within an hour.
Half an hour later.
Song Yingxing's car finally ran out of fuel.
The car slowly pulled up to the side of the road.
Song Yingxing jumped out of the car and looked into the distance.
At this point, the capital city was reduced to a tiny black dot.
Li Mingzhao and his group immediately panicked.
"Master, where are we?"
"How are we going to get back from such a long distance?"
Song Yingxing was not only calm, but also very excited.
This was his first time driving a car.
He hadn't expected his car to perform so well; it had traveled such a long distance without breaking down.
"What? Send someone back on horseback with some gasoline. After we fill up, we can be back in the capital within half an hour."
"Don't worry."
Li Mingzhao and the others looked around.
The surrounding area was deserted.
"Master, you make it sound so easy. Who will you send back on horseback?"
"We can't see a single warhorse or a single person here."
Song Yingxing lay back in the driver's seat: "Don't worry, our military factory is protected by the Imperial Guards. If they can't find me, they will definitely search everywhere."
"If these Imperial Guards come, won't we have hope?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yingxing's apprentices gradually relaxed.
...
Lu Wentong stood on the city wall, looking into the distance through binoculars.
Song Yingxing's car slowly disappeared from the telescope's field of view.
"Damn it!" Lu Wentong roared. "All Imperial Guards, listen up! We must not let anything happen to Lord Song. Immediately send men to search along the road all the way south."
Jiang Tian's task for Lu Wentong was to protect Song Yingxing and the others.
Song Yingxing was Jiang Tian's precious son.
Song Yingxing knew that they were still living in a chaotic world.
Things are a little better in the capital.
