Chapter 49: Car Comes Out, Fireworks and Firecrackers
After lunch, Duan Lun went to busy himself with the affairs of the Ministry of Works.
Su Liang was also doing the final debugging of the car.
"Virtuous son-in-law, how much longer until your car can be driven on the road?" At this moment, Li Er couldn't sit still, looking eagerly at Su Liang tinkering with the car, and even taking out an unknown object to fiddle with. He didn't understand anything and was too lazy to ask more, so he could only keep urging.
"Go, go, go, stop urging. If Your Majesty has the time, why not hurry and invite my mother-in-law over."
Su Liang was already impatient. At this moment, he was brushing the ECU program of the car computer. It was really because the EA888 engine he exchanged from the system had too little horsepower, only 220 horsepower. Su Liang intended to hang a camper behind the car, so how could he not brush it to 320 horsepower?
After all, he had only manufactured one car, and that was at the cost of a full 40 million prestige points from Su Liang, so he couldn't build a second one in a short time.
Now, Furong Garden already had Changle, Zhangsun Yue, Li Xian'er, Ruyan, and others. Facing a car with only four seats, it couldn't accommodate everyone.
As the words fell, Li Er finally remembered his Guanyin Bi.
This was the first car of the Great Tang, and he had only been thinking about himself. How could he forget his Guanyin Bi? He immediately gave Su Liang a grateful look, then immediately ordered the Qianniu Guards to accompany him to personally pick up Empress Zhangsun.
More than half an hour later.
Li Er also picked up Empress Zhangsun.
At this moment, Su Liang was performing the final license plate ceremony. He saw that the front lip of the car had already been hung with the "Jing A·88888" license plate.
"Virtuous son-in-law, what is that hanging in front of your car?" Li Er asked with a frown.
"A license plate, it's something that indicates the owner's identity."
Su Liang explained while busy putting the license plate on the back of the car: "In the future, when I build a car for Your Majesty, it will also be hung. 'Jing' represents the Capital Region, and 'A' represents Changancheng. As for the numbers behind, they represent the serial number."
Originally, Su Liang thought about using the "Jing A·00001" license plate, but after looking at it carefully, he felt it wasn't very beautiful.
"Hahaha... Good, good, good, then I want to use the 'Jing A·99999' license plate."
Hearing that Su Liang was going to build a car for him, Li Er was immediately overjoyed.
Su Liang gave a slight smile upon hearing this. It was indeed appropriate for the Nine-Five Supreme to use this license plate.
"Alright, the license plates are all on."
Before long, Su Liang had already installed the license plate on the back of the car.
Then he looked at Li Er and said with a smile: "Hehe... Your Majesty, shouldn't we celebrate first, and then drive the car onto the roads of Changancheng."
"Oh? How does my virtuous son-in-law intend to celebrate?" Li Er asked with a smile.
"Set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate!"
Su Liang was too lazy to beat around the bush, he just didn't want Li Er to be so excited.
When he manufactured grenades, Su Liang thought about manufacturing fireworks and firecrackers.
Fireworks and firecrackers in history began in the early Tang Dynasty and flourished at the end of the Song Dynasty. They were invented by Li Tian in the Zhenguan period of the early Tang Dynasty. If there were no accidents, Li Tian should only be seven years old at this time.
According to historical records, during the Zhenguan period, there were disasters year after year and epidemics were prevalent. Li Tian used small bamboo tubes filled with niter, guided and ignited them, and used the niter smoke to drive away the mountain miasma, reducing the prevalence of epidemics, and firecrackers were soon promoted. Li Tian was therefore revered as the ancestor of fireworks and firecrackers by the industry.
"Oh? Then why doesn't my virtuous son-in-law hurry and take them out for me to see."
Li Er became interested upon hearing this. Li Er was quite confident in the things Su Liang designed.
Then Su Liang went to get the fireworks and firecrackers. This was still what Su Liang exchanged from the system. After all, the fireworks and firecrackers he manufactured now were not as beautiful as those of later generations.
Of course, Su Liang didn't just take the fireworks and firecrackers; as the standard configuration for fireworks and firecrackers, firecrackers were also indispensable.
At this moment, the firecrackers Su Liang took out had a full 1,000 bangs, and the fireworks and firecrackers also had 100 bangs.
After briefly explaining a few words to Li Er, Su Liang and Er Hu went to ignite the firecrackers and fireworks.
In an instant, the crackling sound of firecrackers, as well as the bang-bang-chi-chi, swoosh-swoosh-dong-dong, and crackle-crackle sounds rippled through Furong Garden...
Everyone in Furong Garden was completely stunned. The continuous sound of firecrackers rose and fell, resounding through the sky and deafening!! Fireworks also bloomed beautifully in the sky from time to time.
Several women, including Empress Zhangsun, were tightly covering their ears at this moment.
"Hehe... Everyone doesn't need to be excited, these fireworks are even more beautiful when set off at night."
Su Liang had long known that everyone would have such a reaction, and fortunately, he had explained it early, otherwise, Li Er's Qianniu Guards would have already rushed in at this moment. The sound of these fireworks and firecrackers was somewhat similar to the sound of grenades.
After a full quarter of an hour, the sound of firecrackers stopped.
"Alright... Your Majesty, let's go and try this car first," Su Liang said indifferently.
As the words fell, Little Sizi tugged at Su Liang's big hand and acted like a spoiled child: "Brother Su... Little Sizi wants to sit in the front."
"Little Sizi, be good, sit in the back with your father and mother, let your sister Changle sit in the front, next time Brother Su will let you sit in the front," Su Liang advised helplessly, it was really because there were only four seats.
Hearing Su Liang's words, Little Sizi also understood and then walked quietly toward Empress Zhangsun.
Then Su Liang also greeted Li Er, Empress Zhangsun, Changle, and Little Sizi to sit in the car.
"Hehe... Your Majesty, the seat you are sitting in is the most noble seat. In the future, when your car is built, you can let the driver drive, and you can discuss matters with the ministers in the back seat."
"This is a seat belt. After fastening it, you can avoid collisions caused by sudden braking."
Su Liang explained the little knowledge about the car while helping them fasten their seat belts, making Li Er and the others nod and praise frequently.
"This is the button to open the car window, this is the air outlet of the air conditioner, which can blow out hot and warm air..."
"So magical? Wouldn't it be very cool in summer and very warm in winter?" Li Er asked immediately when Su Liang said this.
"Hehe... Your Majesty will know in a while."
Su Liang was too lazy to explain this, he would prove it with actions in a while.
With the "buzzing" sound of the car engine starting, the first car of the Great Tang officially ignited and hit the road!!
Before long, the car drove out of Furong Garden and drove slowly on the big road of Changancheng.
"Hehe... How does Your Majesty feel?" Su Liang asked with a happy smile.
"Haha... The car manufactured by my virtuous son-in-law is much more comfortable than the carriage given to me, and it is indeed as my virtuous son-in-law said, it is very cool inside the car," Li Er laughed loudly.
Su Liang also made many improvements to his first car. Not only did he use "one low covers a hundred ugliness" shock-absorbing short springs to lower the height of the car and improve the stability of the vehicle; he also equipped it with integrated brake discs, making the braking more stable.
At this moment, Su Liang was concentrating on driving the car. After all, the Great Tang didn't know about the existence of cars now, and it wouldn't be good if a child suddenly ran out. Although Li Er's Qianniu Guards were guarding along the way in front, he still couldn't let his guard down.
At the same time, Li Er and Empress Zhangsun were also chatting about family affairs.
Changle was studying the central control screen of the car with great interest.
Under Changle's constant tinkering, modern pop music suddenly came from the car's horn.
"Damn... Damn, who is talking." Li Er immediately cursed. The sudden sound really scared Li Er.
"Hee hee... Father, this is the music played by the car horn." Little Sizi, sitting on Empress Zhangsun's lap, giggled when she saw Li Er's embarrassed look.
As Little Sizi's words fell, there was a burst of laughter in the car.
Before long, the car was already driving on Zhu Que Street in Changancheng.
Looking at the 150-meter-wide Zhu Que Street in front of him, Su Liang was also completely excited at this moment and couldn't help but step on the accelerator deeply. ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
