Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 160 Internal Combustion Engine

Time always passes by inadvertently, and more than ten days have passed in a flash.

Li Chengxi opened the shop as usual and welcomed a group of students who came to buy bread and milk in the morning.

Viola had already gone back a long time ago, and it was easier for her to go back than it was for Oldie.

She called Qian Sen in advance and asked him to send someone to return the confiscated sword. Viola dressed neatly, took the clothes and some snacks bought for her, jumped in the direction of the TV, and then she got back in by herself.

The reason why Olde didn't use the TV that time was because Li Chengxi felt that one should go back the same way they came. The same thing happened this time. Viola came out of the TV and jumped back the same way she came.

The past ten days were very peaceful. Qian Sen did not call Li Chengxi again. When Li Chengxi called to ask whether the person had been caught, Qian Sen could only answer that the notice from the General Administration had not arrived yet and that he would notify him if there was any new information.

There is no new news from Section 9, but the news has reported extensively about an armed robbery in a shopping mall.

Probably because the gun used was not real and no one was injured, it was not reported on the news broadcast but only on the provincial satellite station.

This matter has been discussed online for a while, and the silly netizens have fully exerted their subjective initiative, with each comment being more exciting than the last.

However, news on the Internet spreads quickly, and the popularity also decreases quickly.

Within a few days, this matter dropped off the hot search list, and after a few more days, basically no one was talking about it.

After all, there is nothing to discuss. The police have already made public the preliminary investigation results, and the details will have to wait for the police report.

Although it became a hot topic, fortunately, Li Chengxi's incident did not appear in the news. It was only said that a hostage took advantage of the criminals' unpreparedness and bravely resisted, creating an opportunity for the police to successfully break in.

It should be Section 9 that gave the greeting. There is a certain supernatural element in this matter, and Li Chengxi is not suitable to be exposed.

He just didn't want to be exposed. It should be said that this kind of thing should never happen again in the future, as it is not good for the heart.

There were also discussions about this matter on the internal forum of Section 9, but all the content was disclosed in the news, which shows that even people in the circle did not know the inside story.

Of course, Li Chengxi would not talk nonsense everywhere, as he felt that his account might be blocked by the administrator if he did.

Apart from that, nothing happened these days and it was very peaceful.

"Brother Li, we both want these."

Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan came to the convenience store to buy bread and milk today. Li Chengxi saw the bread they put on the cashier counter and said:

"That's all? For both of you? It's not even enough to feed the cat. Go get some old bread."

"No, no, my weight has been a bit dangerous lately."

Li Chengxi certainly had never experienced the troubles of young girls. When he was in school, he was like a glutton. He ate a lot for three meals and had all kinds of snacks on a regular basis.

Lei Lei gently poked Gan Xiaoyan, who immediately realized:

"Brother Li, the code word."

"Ah? Come again, alright. Today it's... oh yeah, the King of Heaven and Earth Tiger?"

"Pagoda suppresses the river demon."

Because there was a third party pretending to be an acquaintance to infiltrate the social circle, Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei discussed a set of secret codes. They also changed the code according to the day of the week. Every day when they met, they would report the secret code to confirm its authenticity. Even Li Chengxi was affected.

Anyway, it's for safety reasons, so Li Chengxi is not opposed to it, and even thinks that these two little girls are quite cute.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The 648th year of the Demon King Calendar.

Mid-June, morning.

"What on earth do you want us to see?"

As soon as the prayer ended, Oldie pulled Viola out of the chapel and said that she had made new research results and asked her to come and see.

Wendy, who was following Viola, immediately said with caution:
"Isn't it something dangerous?"

Oldie's new invention left a great psychological shadow on Wendy. From childhood to adulthood, whenever Oldie wanted to show something, something unexpected would happen.

"Don't always judge me by my past experience. I'm much more stable now."

"..."

Are you sure you're steady?

"It's safe this time, just watch."

Oldey led the two men to the newly built waterwheel and went into a warehouse next to the waterwheel.

Soon, Oldie directed the workers working in the waterwheel to push out a strange carriage.

The main body of this carriage is no different from ordinary carriages, but there is no place to tie the horses, and the roof of the carriage has been roughly sawed open. Standing next to it, you can vaguely see that there is some kind of mechanical structure inside.

Wendy was a little confused:
"what is this?"

“It’s called a car.”

"W-what car?"

Wendy had never heard of this word, but Viola remembered it.

"Did you imitate the vehicles in the divine world? But the appearance is too different." "What's important is not the appearance, but the principle."

Olday patted the carriage, not caring that her hands were covered in grease.

"This is all thanks to the Lord who gave me the structural diagram of the internal combustion engine. Although it is only the simplest two-stroke internal combustion engine, it took me a lot of effort to figure it out."

Wendy was surprised:
"With this thing called an internal combustion engine, this carriage can run? No need for a horse?"

"No, it just needs to consume this fuel."

Alde took out a small bottle and shook it, revealing a pale yellow liquid.

"I have tried my best to separate a highly flammable oil from petroleum. Although it is not yet possible to mass produce it, I can conduct small-scale experiments."

The reason why mass production is not possible is very simple: the resources invested are greater than the value of the output.

It's like using gamma rays to bombard mercury to make gold, the cost is far higher than the value of the gold.

However, as technology evolves, costs will decrease, although by then we will probably have entered the era of the Industrial Revolution.

Oldie poured her homemade gasoline into the top fuel port and climbed up holding onto the edge of the car.

"It won't be dangerous, right? If we pour fuel in, won't it burn and explode?"

"What we want is explosion. The internal combustion engine mainly relies on the thrust generated by the explosion to drive the piston."

Wendy lacked confidence, but Alday was very confident.

"If the internal combustion engine is successfully developed, I believe it can be used in many places and greatly solve the problem of insufficient productivity."

Viola immediately realized how valuable this machine that only consumed fuel to provide power could be. Seeing that Alde was very confident, she nodded and said:

"be careful."

Alde pressed the switch, and saw a large amount of black smoke coming out of the exhaust port under the carriage, which scared Wendy.

The internal combustion engine did start successfully, though, making a beeping sound similar to that of a motorcycle.

In fact, this carriage is a four-wheeled motorcycle. It uses a belt to drive the chain below and then drives the two wheels at the rear to move forward. There is no gearbox or anything like that.

Just pull the lever, engage the gear, and the chain drives the hub.

It went smoothly at the beginning, and the workers and guards present all expressed their admiration. They did not expect that this vehicle that did not require magic or livestock could actually run.

But after walking less than ten meters, the engine suddenly crackled and sparks came out, followed by a large amount of black smoke coming out directly from the engine without going through the exhaust pipe.

In an instant, thick black smoke surrounded the carriage. Oldie rushed out of the carriage covered in dust and coughing continuously.

"It turns out that the forging quality is not up to standard. Our production process cannot achieve the strength required by the design."

"Don't complain to the blacksmith in my territory. Things from the God Realm are not so easy to copy."

"That thing won't explode, will it?"

Wendy pointed at the carriage that was still smoking, looking a little worried.

"No, don't worry, it will be fine once it burns out the fuel."

Doubtful that what Oralde said was true, Wendy decided to step back and keep a safe distance.

At this moment, Alday was suddenly stunned, and then nodded as if she was talking to someone.

"Your Majesty told me that internal combustion engines are too difficult and that we should study steam engines first."

"Then why did you start with the internal combustion engine?"

"Just pure curiosity."

"..."

Wendy suffered a lot because of Aldee's simple curiosity.

"Oh yeah, I see."

Oldie turned to the two men and said:

"Although we failed, the Lord seemed very happy and asked us what reward we wanted."

Viola blurted out immediately:

“Is instant noodles okay?”

"Yeah, I want this too."

“What is instant noodles?”

Wendy had never seen instant noodles and didn't know what they were.

Then the three of them saw a ball of light appear on the ground not far in front of them. When the ball of light dispersed, three boxes of instant noodles appeared there.

The three of them came to a conclusion that it was okay to act like a spoiled child with the Lord occasionally...
