Chapter 48 Locomotive

When the world outside the three hills becomes green, the wheat ears on the land that was reclaimed years ago outside the courtyard wall have begun to turn yellow.

It's just that the wheat ears are yellowing, but the thick stalks and fat and slender leaves of the wheat are still green.

Over the past few months, under the shroud of the Four Symbols and Five Elements Formation, Taihe Villa seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world and became completely different.

As the formation operates, the lost Five Elements Yuan Qi scattered between heaven and earth is included in the area covered by the formation. The abundant nourishment of the Five Elements Yuan Qi makes this place gradually become a blessed place. The climate has been reversed, and it will always be like spring all year round. The vegetation is nourished by Yuan Qi and grows very rapidly. The maturity period of fruits, fruits and grains is greatly shortened, and it is out of season.

Within the walls of Taihe Villa, the pears, peaches, plums, oranges, and dates in the five courtyards are lush and green, exuding a faint fruity fragrance. In just a few months, the five fruit trees looked as if they had already grown here, with no trace of transplantation visible.

This villa finally looks less shabby. Full of vitality.

Zhao Yu drove a huge machine out of the earth courtyard with great interest. The four girls who were holding bamboo poles to beat dates in front of the courtyard took a look and ran away screaming.

"Hitting dates again, four little greedy cats!"

Xiaochun stuck out his little head from the corner: "Sir, what is this?!"

Zhao Yu laughed: "The result of my hard work for half a month is the locomotive."

Zhao Yu's motorcycle looks almost like a chariot in modern time and space two thousand years later. It is one foot high, one and a half feet long, and one foot wide. It is a mixed structure of fine steel and fir. And it's crawler type.

Among the bamboo slips left by Cai Yong, there are several slips from the Mohist family, which mention concepts such as locomotives and locomotive birds. Zhao Yu had a sudden idea and spent more than half a month making such a fight by himself.

Zhao Yu's locomotive is a combination of the concepts of modern time and space two thousand years later and Mohist concepts, but the core thing belongs to the immortal way.

Because it does not burn gasoline or diesel, the locomotive cannot pick up speed. In fact, the Mohist locomotives use pure mechanical energy. For example, it is like a mechanical watch. After making it, wind it up first, and then you can walk a certain distance. But it’s too big, it’s not fast, and it can’t go very far.

Zhao Yu thought that using the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth as kinetic energy, the power core of this mechanized vehicle was actually the Five Yuan Talisman.

That's why it can be made so big.

But unfortunately, this motorcycle can only be controlled by Zhao Yu for the time being. Only mana can be used to activate the Five Elements Talisman and provide kinetic energy for the locomotive.

Zhao Yu planned to test the performance of the locomotive first, and then see if he could modify it, or modify it so that it could move without the need for the Five Elements Talisman and mana, so that its speed could meet the requirements and run. The distance reaches a certain level.

"Locomotive?!"

Four girls' heads stuck out from the corner one by one: "They look weird."

Zhao Yu waved: "Come up, everyone, let's try the performance of the locomotive."

Zhao Yu stood up from the top cover, opened the top cover, and jumped down. Then with a very rhythmic crunching sound, the back of the locomotive slowly opened, revealing the open space inside.

When the four girls saw it, they cheered. The little fish stuffed jujubes into his mouth, jumped up and down, and entered the motorcycle.

There are a row of simple iron frames on each side of the interior of the locomotive, which can be regarded as a function. The space is both wide and high, and even an eight-foot tall man will not feel cramped when he stands up. In front is the driving seat and steering wheel, and Zhao Yu is sitting there. The girls came in, touched here, looked there, they were very curious.

"Stop making trouble, everyone sit down."

Zhao Yu said: "Let's drive."

The fourth girl quickly sat down and looked at Zhao Yu in front of her with a few pairs of eyes. I felt a slight shock, and before I could react, my body fell from the iron frame to the back of the carriage, and I screamed in fright.

Zhao Yu looked back and hurriedly cut off the supply of Yuan Qi. The engine screeched to a halt, and the four girls who were trying to stabilize their bodies suddenly jumped forward again, and this time they really fell into a ball.

Zhao Yu chuckled.

"Mr. Bad!"

The girls jumped up and pouted, looking extremely unhappy.

Zhao Yu laughed and shook his head: "You guys, if you don't practice your martial arts well, your strength will be mediocre and you won't be able to control your balance. It will be better now."

When the locomotive moves, the body loses balance under the influence of external forces. If you can control the strength, you can react instantly and balance according to the trend. But these girls are very playful, and no matter how good the skills are, it will be useless if they are not practiced carefully.

In addition, Zhao Yu also discovered his mistake and ignored things like seat belts. In addition, the speed was too fast just now, and the instantaneous inertia was too great.

"Sit down."

Zhao Yu pretended not to see the girls pouting, and the motorcycle started again. Under the subtle control of the magic power, Yuan Qi flowed out from the Five Elements Talisman. The car slowly accelerated, and now it was much more stable. .

Zhao Yu thought that he should design something similar to a 'throttle'.

The huge locomotive drove out of the yard, and the steel tracks crossed the gate of the other yard, crushing the door threshold to pieces, and then came to the bluestone avenue outside, leaving traces on the stone slabs.

Then the cheers of the girls echoed in the blessed land of the other courtyard. Later, even Guan Hai's guards from other courtyards came up one by one to have a try. Zhao Yu drove the motorcycle and traveled between three mountains to test various performances.

The birth of the locomotive added a bit of fun to the courtyard.

After this first test, the performance of the locomotive was demonstrated one by one. The speed of 100 meters is between four and five seconds, and the speed increases very quickly. If the supply of Yuan Qi is released, the top speed can be reached in one second. And because it is crawler-type, it is not afraid of rough terrain. This is not the case for all-terrain, because the sealing performance is not enough and it will leak if it goes into the water.

The locomotive has a large space, fast speed, sufficient horsepower, and is not afraid of rough terrain. It is perfect for transportation and even military use.

However, it is not easy to remove the traces of immortality in it, without using Yuan Fu, without involving the Tao of Talisman, and making it productive for ordinary people. Unless it is completely manufactured according to the technology of modern vehicles two thousand years later, burning oil and gas, mechanical energy alone is far from achieving an effect comparable to Yuan Fu's activation.

But according to the technology of two thousand years later, it is not just steel, not just structure, it involves a huge industrial system. Thinking about it made him feel annoyed, so Zhao Yu simply didn't want to think about it and just regarded this motorcycle as out-of-print and only used by other hospitals.

However, what needs to be modified still needs to be modified, such as being able to activate the power elemental talisman without mana traction. Otherwise, only Zhao Yu can open it in the other courtyard, and it will be of no use at all.

After a few days, the locomotive was finally transformed. The talisman is used in more places, but finally it no longer requires mana to induce it. A 'throttle' - Yuanqi valve, and seat belts were added. So even Cai Yan and Zhang Ling began to learn to drive a locomotive.

When Cao Mengde came, his eyes almost popped out when he saw this motorcycle.

He found Zhao Yu and asked eagerly: "The locomotive has important uses. Can it be mass-produced?"

From Cao Mengde's perspective, he could certainly see the wonderful use of the locomotive.

But Zhao Yu's answer extinguished his enthusiasm.

"The core of the locomotive uses talismans, so it cannot be mass-produced. If you abandon the talismans, it will basically be a waste. You, don't think about it for now. Let me study it again. If it can be mass-produced, I will not be stingy."

Cao Mengde had no choice but to sigh and give up.

Then we got down to business.

"The Earth Gathering Talisman given by Sir has been buried according to the nodes on the drawing. This..." He considered it for a moment: "Is it really useful?"

Zhao Yu couldn't help but laugh: "At most half a month, the results will be immediate."

"That's good." Cao Mengde breathed a sigh of relief. The two sat down in the courtyard, and Cao Mengde said, "Sir, your guess was correct. Lu Bu went north. When he arrived at Chenliu, he saw that Zixiao was guarded by three thousand elite soldiers, so he went to Luoyang."

Zhao Yu nodded: "Isn't this clear? Can't you guess it?"

Then he said: "Then what? I don't believe you came this time for such a trivial matter."

"There are two more things." Cao Mengde said: "One is to ask, sir, how are the training of those young people?"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he nodded and said, "It's almost passed."

It is talking about the 100 people sent by Cao Mengde during the Shangyuan Festival. Zhao Yu was almost trained a month ago, and now this month is just for them to learn on their own. Otherwise, Zhao Yu would not have time to build a locomotive.

These hundred people have been living in Huoyuan, eating, drinking and studying there, ten people crowded into one room. When Zhao Yu taught them knowledge before, he was in the open space of the yard.

Zhao Yu spent a month and used some immortal methods to let them learn the Three-Character Classic, Thousand-Character Classic, Disciple Rules, as well as basic arithmetic and basic inquiry compiled by Zhao Yu. If the entire five books are not used to use spiritual consciousness to operate the magic power and promote the teaching of Taoism, it would be wishful thinking if ordinary people who cannot read a single Chinese character can learn it.

In addition, they were also taught the skills to strengthen the divine power stage of the Houtu Kung Fu and let them practice it. Zhao Yu said: "You have read the Three-Character Classic, the Thousand-Character Classic, the Disciple Rules, as well as basic arithmetic and inquiry. They know it well. Although the writing is still ugly, it is enough to teach elementary education. In addition, I also taught the thick soil The first part of gong. What I mean is that children should be fully developed from an early age. We should also try to popularize the gong method."

Cao Mengde looked happy after hearing this: "Okay, sir, thank you for your hard work."

Then he pondered: "Isn't this popularization of Kung Fu... a big drawback?"

Zhao Yu nodded: "I understand what you mean, but these are all trivial matters."

He said: "I only taught the complete Five Elements Boxing Sutra to Dian Wei before. Let's do this. Every six months, you select some meritorious people from your subordinates, regardless of their academic skills, and send them to me for further training. What do you think?"

Cao Mengde nodded immediately. This is a good thing. Can you not agree?

Zhao Yu added: "Taihe Courtyard has stabilized during this period. Look at the children of the right age, um...under the age of fourteen. Choose ten and send them to the Courtyard. I'll see if there are any. Material that can be built.”

"good!"

Cao Mengde was extremely surprised and said: "My eldest son Cao Ang is thirteen this year, which is just right!"

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "There is no restriction on men and women."

After saying this, Cao Mengde added: "Another thing, I plan to launch an attack on Yuzhou after the wheat harvest."
