Chapter 517: Chu Tianbao’s Hope

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the first day of July, Hai Dongli created good news that shocked the Carefree Kingdom.

The engine that he had painstakingly developed had achieved great results.

The production of engines could completely and quickly advance the development of the industrial era.

After Bai Wutong received the news, she immediately ran to the research laboratory with Chu Tianbao.

All the researchers were very interested in Hai Dongli’s new research, but they did not know what that big metal object was for.

With the Great Empress here, everyone could finally step into Hai Dongli’s laboratory.

Hai Dongli did not know how to speak and gestured excitedly to Bai Wutong, making everyone look confused.

They still did not know what use this thing had.

Bai Wutong had a hard time understanding it. Hai Dongli hurriedly wrote on the small blackboard, “This is called an active engine. It’s powered by oil and is completed by a cylinder. The piston has to go through four strokes in the cylinder. In turn, it has to go through the intake stroke, compression stroke, expansion stroke, and exhaust stroke. As long as the engine is combined with other auxiliary systems, it can make the large machinery in the workshop run on its own and directly replace the duplex power machine with steam energy.”

Bai Wutong smiled. “That’s great. In the future, the efficiency of machinery will be faster. It’s an amazing breakthrough of the era.”

Hai Dongli hurriedly wrote again, “With an active engine, we can go to the sky in the future.”

Seeing that what he had written previously was quite reliable, everyone could not help but laugh when they heard that they would be able to ascend to the heavens in the future.

It was obvious that they did not believe that they could ascend to the heavens.

However, Bai Wutong did not laugh. She told him seriously, “Yes, I believe in you. You will definitely be able to let humans realize their dream of soaring in the air.”

Tears welled up in Hai Dongli’s eyes. The Great Empress was his soulmate. Without the Great Empress, he would probably only be a lunatic in the eyes of others for the rest of his life.

Zhao Yuan had always respected Hai Dongli’s ability. When he heard Bai Wutong’s affirmation of Hai Dongli, he asked, “Great Empress, if we supply Mr. Hai’s moving engine to my tricycle, can it move with oil?”

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “In theory, it should be possible. You can discuss it with Mr. Hai. Perhaps the first autonomous oil car in the world can be created.”

Zhao Yuan was extremely excited. “Thank you for your guidance, Great Empress!”

Hearing Zhao Yuan and Bai Wutong’s words, everyone belatedly realized that this thing could also be used for their relevant research.

For example, power generation devices, building welding devices, medical equipment devices, powerful drilling machines, and so on.

Everyone’s gazes at Hai Dongli immediately became fervent. They wanted to communicate with Hai Dongli before Zhao Yuan did.

For a moment, the research room was as noisy as a market.

However, Bai Wutong seemed to see modern civilization waving at her again.

When Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong returned home, Stinky was playing with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan, who had turned over slowly and was annoyed by everyone, did not dare to be lazy anymore.

He cooperated well.

Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong joined them and quickly built a beautiful castle.

When they were tired of playing, Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong returned to their room and quietly took out their tablets to watch a movie.

This was the entertainment time Chu Tianbao looked forward to the most every day.

Especially modern sci-fi movies, it could update his worldview and eyeballs every time. When he was excited, the bed frame could shatter.

It made the servants in the house steal glances at them in ambiguity and shock.

Bai Wutong thought of the engine that Hai Dongli had developed that day, so she found a movie about car racing for Chu Tianbao.

Before they started, Bai Wutong specially reminded Chu Tianbao, “You’re not allowed to scream, or break the bed!”

Chu Tianbao nodded eagerly.

The movie began with an extremely exciting scene of racing. The thrilling actions and special effects made Chu Tianbao feel like he was there. His heart was pounding, and the words ‘impressive’ were written all over his face.

Bai Wutong glanced at him and couldn’t help but smile.

She could try putting on 5D glasses for him next time.

The movie lasted for nearly two hours. After Chu Tianbao finished watching, he looked like he wanted more.

He was also extremely interested in cars and couldn’t help but say, “If only cars could be developed earlier.” He looked like he wanted to try it immediately.

Bai Wutong smiled. “The engine has been successfully developed. It will be soon.”

Bai Wutong had expected it to be soon. She never expected Zhao Yuan and Hai Dongli to research so quickly.

After a month, a tricycle powered by an engine was built.

Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were also quite excited and hurriedly rushed to the research lab.

It was still a little different from what she had imagined, but this car already had some characteristics of a modern car, such as a frame made of steel pipes, spark ignition, rear wheel drive, front wheel turn, water-cooling cycle, and so on.

Zhao Yuan hurriedly introduced, “Great Empress, look, as long as we add oil, it can move.”

He gripped the joystick and pushed forward. The tricycle moved forward.

Its speed was about 15 km/h, so it did not have much power, and its ability to climb the slope was not great.

The horsepower was not even one-tenth of the horsepower of a modern car, but this was already an actual car.

Zhao Yunning said happily, “Your research is very good. In time, the power will increase. I believe the speed and load of the car will be significantly improved.”

Zhao Yuan also felt that the speed could be improved. After Chu Tianbao watched the movie, his surprise at the tricycle was greatly reduced.

He thought for a moment and said, “Can this car brake?”

Zhao Yuan was stunned. “What is a brake?”

Chu Tianbao said, “It’s an emergency stop after encountering danger.”

Zhao Yuan was ashamed. “There is no such function yet.” He hurriedly took a piece of paper and wrote it down, preparing to improve it.

When Hai Dongli heard this, he took out a piece of paper and wrote it down. Even if it was a flying device, there had to be a way to stop it.

Chu Tianbao asked again, “Can you change directions?”

Zhao Yuan hurriedly said, “Yes, yes.” Then, he grabbed a metal rod that looked like a steering wheel and turned it.

However, it was too difficult to twist it. Moreover, it was not fast enough. It took Zhao Yuan a Herculean effort to change the direction. Chu Tianbao watched from the side and was so nervous that he almost wanted to come down and carry it.

Chu Tianbao continued, “Thedirection change can still be improved!” After thinking for a moment, he said, “We can design a wheel similar to the one on the ship.”

Zhao Yuan’s eyes widened as he was enlightened. “As expected of His Highness!”

Chu Tianbao continued, “What if it’s raining and there’s a typhoon?”

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, “Your Highness, I have a roof design.” Then he hurriedly pieced the roof of the carriage together.

Chu Tianbao shook his head. “It’s so troublesome. Why don’t we just design the carriage? The rain won’t get in, and the wind won’t blow.”

Zhao Yuan was stunned.. “If it’s the carriage, how can we see the road clearly and breathe?”
