Chapter 302 - 185: Fox Mountain Launches Car Manufacturing Project!
Inside the dim Fox Mountain Hall.
A group of foxes jumped off the small bronze cart successively.
Only Overalls remained, staring with dark red eyes, opened the car’s bottom plate, and saw the rotating bamboo shoot fixed in the middle of the bearing...
"Awoo?"
It was something it accidentally found in the vast grassland, this rotating bamboo shoot, and it liked it very much. It wasn’t very valuable for planting, so the master let it keep it.
But now... the bamboo shoot fixed in the middle of the bearing was twisted apart, squeezed into juice, the juice flowing down like soup.
It extended its front paw down to touch the torn bamboo shoot...
The treasured bamboo shoot, gone just like that?
The car made to help the master hadn’t even run for two steps, and the engine was ruined?
Will there be more bamboo shoots to make cars in the future?
"Wimper?"
Overalls was heartbroken, tears flowing out!
This car was declared a failure!
At this moment, it sensed the rustling footsteps around it. Looking up, it saw the apprentices gathering around and looking at the small car.
Then it felt a lightness in its body, picked up by the master, held in the master’s embrace.
"Not bad!"
Bai Mo rubbed its head, encouraging it.
"This car’s board is very smooth, the wheels are very round, the bearings are very sturdy, the whole car is very well-built!
"Our Fox Mountain sheet metal skills are so strong now!"
The Bronze Softening Potion was mixed by him.
But these sheet metal skills were slowly honed by Overalls through long years of repairing Bronze Artifacts!
"Very good, truly worthy of being our Fox Mountain’s tool repair master!"
Overalls snuggled in the master’s arms, its head pressing against the master’s chest, wiping its eyes. Receiving praise from the master, it felt much better inside.
Seeing more and more apprentices gathering around, chatting excitedly about the small car in fox language.
"Wimper wimper awoo awoo awoo..."
...With this car, we can go further, bring back larger ancient relics to the warehouse!
"Awoo awoo wimper wimper wimper..."
...With this car, it can always run around the medicine field, delivering fertilizer for everyone.
"Wimper wimper awoo awoo awoo awoo..."
...With this car, you can drive it deep into the grassland and bring back those huge medicinal herbs!
"Wimper wimper wimper, awoo awoo awoo..."
...With this car, you can make it a bit bigger, replace the master’s sled, put a sofa inside for the master, along with tea and pastries! This way, when the master goes out, they won’t be blown by the cold wind of Fox Mountain, nor eat the sand in the wind!
Bai Mo also started to think!
The center of Fox Mountain is the Bronze Hall, Dormitory Hall, Dining Hall, Warehouse, and Square—these basic facilities. Usually, the apprentices’ planting and excavations are centered around these, not able to reach far places.
Their activity range is determined by how far they can run within a day.
Their carrying capacity is determined by how heavy they can load on their shoulders.
If they succeed in making a car, it could expand Fox Mountain’s activity range and carrying capacity to another level, significantly enhancing production efficiency!
Bai Mo held Overalls, using Divine Sense to investigate, carefully examining the metalworking technology used in this car.
"Very good!"
He was joyfully surprised to find that Overalls’ repair skills were indeed impressive!
This car wasn’t just an empty shell.
The shape of the Bronze Plate was corrected, smoothed, without a single crack, with no loss in strength.
The riveting between Bronze Plates was also very professional and sturdy.
"Given that, is our Fox Mountain’s technology reserve sufficient to build a car?"
Bai Mo furrowed his brow, stroking Overalls’ chubby neck, starting to ponder.
"The car frame can use bronze.
"The power system using this rotating bamboo shoot... using fully grown rotating bamboo, although it will consume a large amount of fertilizer, with the fertilizer workshop now, it can totally hold up.
"Hub and tire can use large round wood leaves and triangular lump tree resin...
"For suspension, we need to check the library materials, but using scaly mushroom should suffice..."
Fox Mountain’s car building is quite special... It needs to handle mountain roads, carry heavy loads to a great extent, and be sturdy and durable.
Bai Mo has little accumulation in engineering, but Fox Mountain’s warehouse has a lot of exotic herbs!
"...The most crucial power system, coincidentally, after taking Nasal Soup, can mix a suitable oil fuel."
Bai Mo figured out the details thoroughly, feeling fully confident, raised Overalls, lifted his voice, and spoke to the apprentices in the hall.
"Our Fox Mountain formally announces it is building a car!"
Really going to build a car?
Will they be able to drive small cars to transport goods in the future?
Will they be able to drive small cars to explore the grassland?
Will they be able to make a luxurious big car for the master?
The fox apprentices glanced at each other, immediately began jumping around, raising their front paws in cheer! Making the dim hall boil over!
"Wimper wimper wimper!"
"Awoo awoo awoo!"
"Awoo awoo awoo!"
...
West State University Dining Hall.
It’s lunchtime, students bustling in and out, chatting and laughing, lively.
The dining hall ceiling’s TV was broadcasting the news.
In the news, a middle-aged man with plastic-like Mandarin was making an enthusiastic speech.
"...I will stake all my achievements and reputation to fight for Rice Car!"
Students eating near the TV were discussing in buzz.
"It’s really a national car-making endeavor now."
"Haha, the mobile phone sellers want to build cars, the house sellers are building cars, even the little electric donkey and old people’s pleasure vehicle sellers want to build cars, everyone wants to make cars."
"It’s belittling the auto industry too much, after all, it’s a century-old industrial category with deep waters!"
