Chapter 286: There’s no end to this road!

Su Jin couldn't suppress the twitching at the corners of his mouth.

Xie Huaiguang, who was watching nearby, raised the corner of his mouth in an imperceptible arc.

It's rare to see Su Jin lose control of the situation, it's really interesting.

Xie Huaiguang looked at it carefully and felt that he saw another side of Su Jin, which made him feel better.

"That's it, this thing is officially named the Jin-style self-propelled car. Auntie, you're the first one to sit in it, come on, get on!"

Chen Hong happily pushed the bicycle to Su Jin and promised to let Su Jin get on first.

In the crowd, Ning Ruolan's eyes flickered, and she suddenly thought of a question, so she took advantage of Su Jin not getting on the car yet and deliberately asked: "You haven't even seen this thing before, auntie can ride it?"

This sentence completely calmed Su Jin down. Just as she was about to speak, Chen Hong had already spoken: "It was my negligence. Aunt, let me teach you again. Sit here, step on the pedals, keep your balance and pedal forward. Oh, and you need someone to hold you from behind to keep the bike steady so it doesn't tip over..."

Before he could finish his words, two hands reached out from different directions, one on each side, and pressed down on the back seat of the car.

Then, the owners of the two hands looked up at the same time and glanced at each other.

Zhao Jingyu was a little surprised to see that the person in front of him was Xie Huaiguang, but it was only for a moment. He controlled his emotions and silently held the back seat of the car.

On the other hand, there was nothing unusual on Xie Huaiguang's face. He was calm and composed, with a smile on his face. He even nodded to Prince Rui.

Is he overthinking this?

Zhao Jingyu was a little confused, but Su Jin had already gotten on the bike, so he didn't have the time to be distracted and had to concentrate on maintaining the balance of the bicycle, oh no, the bicycle.

At this moment, Su Jin’s inner OS: Oh, it’s so difficult to pretend that I can’t ride when I obviously know how to ride.

So she rode her bike crookedly on purpose, and the two men behind her used all their strength to keep their balance. But fortunately, there were two of them, so both of them could save some energy.

The rest of the time, a group of people around were watching the three people's difficult journey on their bikes.

Gu Suiyu: ...

She couldn't help but start scratching her head.

"Old Fifth, what's wrong with Lord Xie? Can't he see that Prince Rui is interested in mother?"

In broad daylight, there suddenly appeared a big light bulb?

What the hell?

Gu Zilu was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear to watch it any longer. Although he knew his mother was a very good woman, he still felt very embarrassed to see two men fighting for their biological mother in front of him.

However, Xie Huaiguang hid it well. This man did not show his dislike on his face, so even in an awkward situation, he was able to keep his calm face so as not to look awkward at all.

However, Su Jin was very capable and quickly "learned" to ride a bicycle, freeing the two men behind her.

Su Jin rode a bicycle, making a whirring sound.

How should I put it? This car has no shock absorbers. Half of my body feels like it will fall apart if it bumps around. The seats are also very hard. Chen Hong needs to find a way to improve them. But the prototype is already there, and it's already very good.

After riding a circle, Su Jin got off the bike skillfully, and then found that there were no brakes. If he encountered a big downhill slope, he would roll from the capital to Hexi.

"Aunt, how is it?"

Chen Hong appeared out of nowhere, staring at her with starry eyes, asking for praise. His expression was just like that of a little puppy at home.

Su Jin nodded: "Not bad, very good, beyond expectations, Hong Ge is really great!"

Chen Hong was extremely happy when he received the praise.

He didn't want to follow his parents because they thought that inventing things was a waste of time and that studying hard and taking the imperial examinations were the right thing to do. But he just liked to make strange things, especially the wooden men and wooden birds that could move and fly as written in ancient books. He wondered if he could make one himself.

In the end, he didn't make a bird that could move by itself, but he did make a car that could move by itself without being pulled by horses, which seems pretty good.

"However, Auntie thinks there are still a few areas that can be improved."

Su Jin pointed at the car, Chen Hong listened carefully, and Zhao Jingyu and Xie Huaiguang who came over also listened attentively.

"I think this thing can be used by the army. The army is short of horses. With this thing, we don't have to use horses to send messages on weekdays. This way, we can save more horses for war..."

As soon as Su Jin opened his mouth, Zhao Jingyu's eyes lit up.

Horses played many roles in ancient times. War was only one of them, and the second was transportation. It would be even better if self-propelled vehicles could replace horses in pulling goods.

Zhao Jingyu thought a lot at once. He felt that he must tell his brother the emperor about this matter, and he must also show his brother the self-driving car. So tonight, after returning to the city, he would go to the palace first.

"If you want to use it in war, your self-propelled vehicle needs to be improved. First, a wooden frame won't work. You need to use copper, which is more durable. Second, you need to have a shock absorber, otherwise it will really shake people to death. Third..."

“What is shock absorption?”

The question mark on Chen Hong's head popped up again. Su Jin continued: "It's just like this..."

While speaking, Xie Huaiguang looked back and saw that Gu Suiyu, Gu Zilu and others did not come over, but were having a barbecue with Ning Ruolan. He felt relieved then. Then he glanced at Zhao Jingyu and saw that Zhao Jingyu did not think there was anything wrong, but was listening attentively.

Xie Huiguang: …

Does love make people stupid?

Forget it. Never mind.

Xie Huaiguang looked down and found that Su Jin had drawn something in circles. This kind of thing was not uncommon in ancient times.

"That's it. It can cushion the force when pressed down, and it can return to its original shape after the force is released. Put some under the seat to reduce the bumpy feeling..."

Chen Hong listened very confidently and seriously, and even nodded seriously: "I have this thing at home. I have been engaged in invention for so many years, and I have a lot of these little gadgets."

Su Jin: ...

Everyone: …

After so many years of drafting inventions, I have a lot of them at home, but I don’t know how to make one for shock absorption? ? ?

In the silence, Chen Hong looked up and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Everyone remained silent, just staring at him, which made Chen Hong even more confused.

Any questions??

Finally, Su Jin had to come out to smooth things over: "Brother Hong, you are so talented!"

Chen Hong: "Hahaha, no no, no no."

"By the way, auntie, is there anything else that needs to be improved?"

Su Jin said: "You also need a brake, otherwise the car can't stop, wouldn't it be very troublesome."

The car brake.

Chen Hong suddenly understood.

Su Jin continued, "This brake must be stopped slowly, otherwise if it stops immediately at high speed, people will be thrown out."

Slow down?

That's a difficult problem. If you want to stop suddenly, you can just hit the ground with a stick, but I've never seen anyone stop slowly.

It was not until this moment that Chen Hong realized that invention was not as simple as he thought. This road seemed endless, with no end in sight, no end!!!
