They would squat on the ground for a while, using twigs to write and draw on the soil, sketching out various design drafts.
A moment later, they stood up again, gesturing wildly with their hands and muttering to themselves, looking exactly like two mad scientists researching a super weapon.
Sure enough, no matter how old a man is, he will always have some wildly imaginative ideas.
An Lan watched the two of them so engrossed in their work and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
However, she still thoughtfully went inside and carefully brewed two steaming cups of tea, gently placing them on the stone table beside her, thinking that they could have a sip to quench their thirst when they were thirsty.
After a heated discussion, the two finally finalized their plan and decided to make a pedal-powered device similar to that of a bicycle.
However, when using the workbench to make parts, a series of problems arose.
Some key gears and chains require precise blueprints to manufacture, which stumped Lu Fan.
However, Ling Yue came from the military and was very familiar with these mechanical parts.
"Brother Lu, don't rush, watch me!"
Ling Yue strode confidently to the workbench, picked up the electronic pen, and quickly began sketching on the screen.
His hands seemed to be under a magical spell; the complex and dazzling shapes of the parts gradually became clear under his pen.
Before long, detailed sketches of the parts appeared neatly on the workbench screen, with every line and dimension accurate.
The workbench is like a well-trained and obedient little assistant; upon receiving instructions, it immediately produces these parts according to the sketches.
One by one, the parts slid slowly off the workbench. Lu Fan and Ling Yue, as if seeing their beloved treasures, eagerly reached out and picked up the parts, and began assembling them without stopping.
They were busy hammering and banging with tools to make the parts fit perfectly, and tightening screws to ensure that every component was secure and reliable.
During the assembly process, the two made quite a few funny mistakes.
For example, Lu Fan was in a hurry and accidentally screwed the screws on backwards, so he couldn't install it no matter what he did; Ling Yue, on the other hand, lost a small part without paying attention and it took him a long time to find it.
After a long and arduous effort, a tricycle base finally appeared before their eyes.
The base looked a bit crooked, like a "masterpiece" deliberately pieced together by a mischievous child, but the two of them were as excited as if they had discovered a rare treasure.
"Although our base may not look very nice, it's the result of our hard work!" Lu Fan said with a smile, his face beaming with pride, a smile brighter than the sun.
"Haha, now we'll see how it performs in real combat. Even without the acceleration function, it can still be used as a normal car, so we'll have another means of transportation!" Ling Yue replied with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.
Then, with great effort and chanting in unison, "One, two, one, two," they finally lifted the small wooden boat onto the platform and secured it firmly.
Next, pedals were installed inside the boat, a handle for controlling the direction was installed at the bow, and two comfortable seats were carefully installed inside the boat.
After working hard until the afternoon, when the sun was already setting, this peculiar tricycle was finally "born".
It sat quietly in the yard, exuding a unique charm, as if waiting for its owner's inspection.
With immense excitement, the two carefully carried it outside the yard, as if it were a priceless treasure.
The warm sunlight shone on the tricycle, giving it a golden glow, as if even the sun was looking forward to its first "voyage".
"Brother Lu, why don't you give it a try first!" Ling Yue said excitedly to Lu Fan, his voice filled with barely concealed anticipation.
Lu Fan took a deep breath to calm his nervous yet excited feelings, and carefully mounted the horse.
He gripped the handles tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and placed his feet lightly on the pedals, as if touching a precious piece of porcelain.
"I'm really going to kick it!" he shouted, trying to bolster his courage, and with a powerful push of his foot, he kicked down hard.
With a "whoosh," the tricycle shot off like an arrow, so fast that no one had time to react.
Lu Fan was almost thrown off balance, his whole body swaying like a leaf in the wind. He frantically grabbed the handle, desperately trying to maintain his balance, his heart pounding in his chest as if it were about to burst out of his chest.
He then squeezed the brakes and quickly adjusted the gear to stabilize the speed slightly.
After adjusting the gear, he gently pedaled, and the tricycle began to move forward smoothly at a considerable speed, with the wind whistling past his ears and bringing a slight coolness.
"Hahaha, I did it!" Lu Fan laughed heartily as he steered the tricycle across the open space outside the yard, his laughter echoing in the air, filled with a sense of accomplishment.
An Lan clapped enthusiastically, her face beaming with joy. The crisp, resounding applause seemed to be the best praise for their hard work and creativity.
Ling Yue also took it for a test drive.
After circling twice, he jumped down: "The only problem is that we don't have any rubber. I don't think this iron tire will last long."
Lu Fan patted the car and couldn't help but sigh, "It's already pretty good that we've achieved this much. At least we're now car owners."
After calming down, the three of them sat in the courtyard and drank tea.
The aroma of tea rises gently, mingling with the fresh scent of grass and trees in the courtyard, creating a particularly pleasant atmosphere.
During this time, Lu Fan got up and grabbed two handfuls of fresh green grass, then walked towards the large horn not far away.
As soon as Dajiao saw the grass in his hand, he shook his head happily, his big eyes full of anticipation.
Lu Fan handed the grass to Big Horn's mouth, and Big Horn immediately started eating happily, making "woo-woo" sounds from time to time, eating with great relish.
Lu Fan gently stroked Big Antlers' antlers and couldn't help but joke, "Big Antlers, look, now we all have cars, so you don't need to carry things anymore. Don't you think it's time to contribute your precious antlers and bring some benefits to everyone?"
Big Horn couldn't understand what he was saying; it just kept its head down and ate grass, showing no reaction to Lu Fan's "suggestion".
This scene was witnessed by the viewers in the live stream, who left comments and jokes in the chat.
"Big Horn: 666, so you're already eyeing me!"
"Brother Lu, you've already forgotten your roots after just starting to enjoy a good life."
Does the inability to create value mean there's no reason for an entity to exist?
"You don't understand. The resources of this society have always been tilted towards those who can create value. As for the others, they are just allowed to live a barely comfortable life by the higher-ups in order to maintain order."
"Sigh, that's why it's so hard for poor people to turn their lives around. It seems like those who work can only work for a lifetime. Don't even think about defying fate. It's good enough if you can live a stable life."
