Gao Qi stood behind a car and watched as Chuck opened the lid of a large iron can behind the car and poured a bag of wood into it. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
Chuck cleaned up the ashes and changed the fuel. He waited for the smoke from the can to thicken a little before he said to Gao Qi politely, "We can drive now."
For safety's sake, Gao Qi must be in the same car as Chuck to avoid being blown up by the bandits while they were in the car.
Mark was unwilling to take his villagers to the Hellfire's lair, but he was willing to let Brady leave with Gao Qi. So, Gao Qi's team temporarily expanded from three to four people, and a passenger and a driver just happened to be in the same car.
Although it was a little cramped.
Brady had never been in a car since he was born. Although it was just a broken car that emitted a strong smell of smoke and slowly drove, it still made him very excited.
Gao Qi was also very excited, but his excitement was because the car, the crystallization of industrial civilization, could be reborn after being modified.
"I really should tell Professor Su about this. A car that can be driven by burning wood is not magic or superpower, but real technology. I think Professor Su will definitely be able to make it happen, so I must tell Professor Su."
After listening to Gao Qi, Niu Lidong asked curiously, "Why don't you tell him now?"
"I want to tell him after I get the principle and structure of the car. These people only know how to use it, but they don't know what the structure is like, and they don't know how to do it … Wait, I've fallen into a misunderstanding."
Gao Qi awkwardly realized that he had fallen into a rut of empiricism. He felt that if he didn't understand something, others wouldn't understand it either. However, after thinking about it for a while, he discovered an awkward reality. Although he couldn't even understand junior high school math classes, the majority of the students in Chaoxi City were science students.
As for Professor Su, although he taught liberal arts, it did not mean that he was as bad at mathematics as Gao Qi.
"I don't understand it, but that doesn't mean Professor Su doesn't understand it. Maybe I don't have to wait until I get the blueprint to give it to him. Professor Su can understand it just by looking at it, even if he only hears the term …"
Before they officially set off, Gao Qi said to Niu Lidong, "Let's make a call and take my phone out of the box."
After taking out the phone from a small iron can, Gao Qi installed the battery on the phone and turned it on. When he saw that the phone still had more than half of its battery left, he was very happy and relieved at the same time.
When Gao Qi took out the phone from the Bounty Hunter Guild and was about to make a call, Chuck and the other bandits saw it as a sign of strength.
The older Desolate Dwellers all knew about mobile phones. The Desolate Dwellers who were born after the Cataclysm saw mobile phones that could not be turned on, but everyone, every Desolate Dweller, at least knew what mobile phones were for.
Losing something was the most precious. When the Desolate Dwellers saw someone take out a mobile phone to make a call, it was no different from seeing a legendary artifact reappear in the world. It was no exaggeration to say that they were shocked, and it was a shock to their hearts.
Gao Qi made the call, and then he saw that a large group of people around him had all stopped what they were doing and were looking at him with pious eyes. He could not help but ask, "What are you looking at?"
"This is a mobile phone. When I was very, very young, I used to play with a mobile phone …"
Chuck's voice was trembling. At this time, Gao Qi's call was connected. Gao Qi immediately said, "Hello, is this Professor Su? Oh, it's Muken. Is Professor Su there? "
The mobile phone that was given to Professor Su for convenience of communication came in handy. A moment later, Professor Su's voice sounded from the phone.
"Hello, Gao Qi? Long time no see. How have you been?"
Professor Su's voice was filled with gratification and joy. Gao Qi did not feel anything special at first, because strictly speaking, he and Professor Su had just met not long ago.
But when he heard Professor Su's voice, Gao Qi felt as if a lifetime had passed.
"Professor Su …"
Gao Qi's voice was choked with emotion. Then he could not help but bow, and said in an extremely vicissitude tone, "Student Gao Qi, in this life … I did not disappoint Professor Su's teachings …"
His words were choked with emotion several times. Then Gao Qi said slowly, "I didn't expect to meet you again, Professor Su. This student … is very happy."
Gao Qi knew what was going on. His future self had left a very strong impression on him. At this moment, he was like a schizophrenic. A young him was silently watching his old self from the side. They were separated by two different time and space, and he was bidding farewell to the teacher who had influenced his life.
Professor Su was silent for a moment, and then he asked with some confusion, "Gao Qi, you … what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm just feeling a little emotional. Professor Su, I found something interesting in North America. I found that people here have modified cars to run on wood. I thought you might be interested in this."
Gao Qi quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood up straight. The strong emotion did not last long. He felt that it was better to get down to business quickly.
"Oh? Burning firewood … Yes! Why didn't I think of that? It seems that my mechanical knowledge is still too lacking. Well, let me think about it. The structure needed to convert wood or coke into flammable gas and then burn it in a cylinder … Can you send me a picture? I'll understand after I see it. Or a video is fine. Is it convenient for you to do a video call now? "
Gao Qi was stunned for a moment. Then he silently hung up the phone and called Professor Su again.
Soon, Professor Su's face appeared on the phone screen.
Professor Su was a little thinner than before, but his spirit was much better. Gao Qi did not know why, but when he saw Professor Su's face, he felt a little embarrassed.
Gao Qi pointed the camera at the car, and then he said loudly, "See? This is what it looks like."
"Come closer. Well, it's not very complicated. I understand. Hey, Gao Qi, there are a lot of people around you."
Gao Qi looked at the people nearby, then he subconsciously shrugged and said, "Oh, yes, they are … they are all disaster victims."
Professor Su's tone became serious and said, "Well, you are not in China. Where are you now? Can you tell me about the living conditions of the disaster victims abroad, how organized they are, and their medical and educational standards … "
"Professor Su, Professor Su, I'm sorry, my phone is running out of battery, and it's not convenient for me to charge it here."
Professor Su sighed with some regret and said, "Well, then you can tell me when it's convenient for you to charge it. It shouldn't be troublesome, right?"
"Well, it was Muken who answered the phone just now. I want to know if he has used the gene modification fluid?"
Professor Su laughed, then he said very seriously, "Muken is now a genetic warrior!"
Gao Qi said with relief, "That's great. Congratulate Muken for me. Professor Su, I have to hang up. If I find anything, I will contact you again. Goodbye."
