1855 United States Tycoon

Since buying a car, Alonso feels life is much better. Compared with the carriages used before, the car really doesn't know how it is better. Pulling much, running fast, and taking care of it is simple. Although this car is not really like the "Volkswagen" performance at the performance show, a guy drags ten tons of things and runs around. Coach Schumacher told them that there are some differences between that car and ordinary cars. For example, every part of that car is selected. That's it. After the trip, there are still a lot of repairs. The parts are going to be scrapped.

"So, brother, you have to load 10 tons, which can be loaded, but if you run down all the way, you will end up breaking the car. This is really hard to say." That's how Schumacher told Alonso at the time.

Therefore, Alonso has been using the car in accordance with the product instructions. As far as loading is concerned, he has never let it load more than five tons of goods, but even so, this car can make him a lot of money. Because not every carriage can find four Shire horses to pull the carriage. Therefore, the average freight wagon can only load about one ton at a time, and one trip is equivalent to five trips before. What's more, he can run three times in one trip of the carriage, and he can almost match one of the other people's convoys with this one coming and going. And this thing is really not much more expensive than a carriage.

On this day, Alonso pulled another cart of cargo and sent it to the dock outside the city. It is about 30 kilometers from the railway station to the pier, of which there is a long descent of about seven or eight kilometers. The slope is not very large, but the car will gradually accelerate under the action of gravity when it gets here. In order to reduce the use of fuel, Alonso will go to neutral every time he gets here, and then let the car slide down the slope. Of course, in order not to slip too fast, he will also apply a little brake, so as not to cause a car accident due to too fast.

If there is a driver who drives like this in later generations, he will definitely be scolded to death by the coach. Even when learning a driver’s license, the coach will repeatedly emphasize that you should never skid in neutral at any time, and of course you can’t skid in neutral when going downhill. On the contrary, not only should not be in neutral, but also should be put in a low gear, and the engine speed should be used to slow down the speed. Especially when going downhill, you should rely on the low gear and use the engine to brake instead of just relying on the brakes. Because the brakes are used for a long time, the brake drum will heat up after a long period of friction with the brake pads. According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the inner diameter of the brake drum will become larger, causing the brake pads to no longer fit tightly on the brake drum. On the inner wall of the vehicle, the braking effect is reduced, or even the brakes fail.But in this era, cars have just appeared, so these problems have not been discovered yet, so naturally they will not come up with corresponding solutions. In theory, Scrooge understood this, but Scrooge was very busy. Although he mentioned that he had to write a standard tutorial on safe driving, the progress of this work was actually very slow, because the only aspect was this. The knowledgeable Scrooge is always very busy, busy not taking care of such small things, and other people lack experience in this area, so this matter is far behind the scheduled schedule.

Therefore, Alonso has not been educated not to coast in neutral, and no one has taught him how to brake with the engine when going downhill. Therefore, Aron Lock was in neutral gear, inserted the brakes, and slid down the ramp. If it is a later generation, Alonso will not necessarily have a problem in this way, because the brakes of later generations, even if the brakes also use brake drums, have also taken some measures to deal with the problem of thermal degradation, such as using materials to select a higher expansion rate after heating. Small materials or something. But in this era, there is no such technology and no such preparations.

So when Alonso dragged the cargo down this downhill for the fourth time on this day, he gradually felt that something was wrong. I obviously stepped on the brakes, but the speed was still ascending. At first Alonso thought it was his own foot that was not stepping hard enough, so he stepped on the brake pedal harder, and the speed seemed to have dropped a bit, but after a while, Alonso found that it had dropped a little. The speed of the car is going up again. And this time, the problem is really serious. Even if Alonso pushed the brakes to the end, he almost stepped on the brake pedal directly under the floor of the cab, but the car did not slow down even at all. It looks like it continues to accelerate and decline.

Alonsu lowered his head and saw that the speedometer pointer had been pointing to 28 miles, which meant that the car had reached a speed of 45 kilometers. This is even beyond the top speed of this car. Moreover, the pointer was still shaking to the right, pointing to 30 in a blink of an eye, and then 35, 40, 45, 50...

No matter how Alonsu stepped on the brakes, the truck carrying 5 tons of cargo was still accelerating like a behemoth out of control. Alonso knew that if his car hits somewhere at this time, such as a small tree or a wall, at this speed, he would definitely be smashed into pieces by the car, and he himself It will definitely be crushed. In a collision, the engine will be knocked into the cab, smashing all of his thighs into mud, and the cargo in the body behind him will easily tear away the thin layer behind the driver's seat. Ironhide, bumped in and crushed him to pieces.

"Maybe it's time to jump off the car?" Alonso thought. However, she hesitated, this car is not cheap, and the cost has not come back yet. Besides, there are other people's goods on the car. If it is damaged, you will have to pay a lot of money. After such a hesitation, the last chance passed, because the speed indicator had already pointed to 65, which was 105 kilometers in metric system. That is to say, Alonso achieved a desired achievement inadvertently: becoming the first person on the plane to move at a speed of more than one hundred kilometers per hour.

Jumping out of the car at this speed is simply looking for death. So Alonso can only work hard to control his own car, striving to stabilize the behemoth, and after waiting for this ramp, he slowly stops it.

...

Soupy is riding his newly bought bicycle, riding along the road towards the sea. Bicycles are not too new anymore. In the 18th century, the most primitive bicycles were artificially produced. In this era, in the original history, it was exactly the kind with a large front wheel, and When a disproportionately small rear wheel gadget became popular. However, in this time and space, pneumatic tires, chains, etc. have been developed as by-products of the research and development of automobiles. As a result, modern bicycles have begun to sell well in United States.

Subi’s bicycle is such a newest model of "phoenix" bicycle produced by Volkswagen. The copy of this bicycle is naturally a classic product of a big copycat country in later generations-Phoenix bicycle, even the brand. It's a copycat.

It was downhill for most of this section, and Soupy was too happy, so he let the bike slide slowly. Suddenly he heard a rapid ringing (in order to save costs, the truck was not equipped with an electric horn, but a big copper bell was hung directly outside the cab. As long as a wire was pulled inside the car, it would make a clanging sound). Souby turned his head and looked back, and saw a truck rushing towards him at an alarming speed. At that speed, Subi thinks it must be at least 50 miles. In a panic, Sobi hurriedly didn't dangle to the side, but at this time, the dying front wheel was pressed against a stone, and the head of the car slammed, and Soupy plunged into the drain on the side of the road.

Soupy was almost fainted by the fall. It took him a long time before he crawled out of the ditch, then counted his own losses, and was heartbroken:

The sleeves of his brand-new suit were torn open by a big slit, and the pants were also torn by a smaller slit. Anyway, the new clothes were all ruined at once. What made him feel more distressed was his bicycle. It was obvious that the truck had run over his bicycle without mercy. It's like the wheel of history rolled over Macedonia, Carthage, and Rome without mercy. Now the frame of this bicycle is bent like an earthworm, and the front wheel is directly disconnected. Obviously, this car can only be used as scrap.

At this time, the car had disappeared without a trace, only the dust it raised was still in the air.

"It must be a drunk again. The government should really take care of these damn drunks! (There has been an drunk driving accident before this)." Subi knew that the car must have arrived at the pier. When he went there, he decided to walk to the pier to find the drunkard and settle the accounts. He must pay for his own losses, own clothes, and bicycles. Of course, he must find him and let him compensate. There is one important thing that must be done. Just give that guy a good punch, let him know what will happen if you offend Uncle Soupy. These guys just owe a beating. If they don't beat them, they don't know why the flowers are so red.

Soupy walked angrily two steps there, then turned back, first picked up the deformed bicycle, and then picked up the broken wheel that fell on the ground with his other hand, and then Walk in the direction of the pier.

...

At this time, Alonso was panting in the own cab. It was really scary just now, and he almost ran into a biker. He knew that his speed was too fast at that time, he couldn't just turn around, or he might overturn the car. So I had to ring the bell desperately. Fortunately, the guy's reaction was quick, and he jumped into the gutter on the side of the road. There shouldn't be a big problem.

Alonso held the steering wheel firmly with both hands and controlled the car to slide along the road. There was a turn in front. If you turn so fast, you will definitely overturn the car. Alonso carefully controlled the car to run along the turn. He made a tangent and tried to reduce the turning range a little bit. Finally, when he crossed the corner, the car shook violently, as if it was about to turn over, but God bless, come over, it's okay. It's just that there is another turn ahead...
