Chapter 132 – Testing the Car on the Rooftop
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As the other group of people in charge of researching cars had completed their goal a few days ago, Lu Ming was prepared to celebrate their success. He did not expect that the research on flying cars would also be completed at this time. They would celebrate together.
Chu Jinyu touched the front of the car curiously and knocked lightly. She said in surprise, “Isn’t this used for strengthening? From the sound, it seems like…”
That’s impossible, right?
Would an ordinary car use such expensive material for a shell? she wondered.
She thought that Lu Ming had money but nowhere to spend it.
However, Lu Ming nodded and said, “You have good taste. This is aviation aluminum.
T’ve been to an overseas car show before, so I know a little.”
Chu Jinyu asked in confusion, “Why do you have to use such an expensive car shell? Isn’t that a waste of money? If you want to mass produce the car, you might end up spending a lot of unnecessary money.”
“Unnecessary money? You’ll know why I’m using this shell later. Get in the car.”
Later?
Chu Jinyu got into the car with questions in her head. When she saw that there was only a mechanical-looking steering wheel and a few baffling buttons at the driver’s seat and nothing else, her expression became strange.
“Brother Lu Ming, can this car… really be driven?”
Seeing her dumbfounded expression, Lu Ming could not help laughing. “Of course we can. Otherwise, why do you think everyone is so happy?”
She touched her chin. This car was really too unique compared to the ones on the market. She wondered if it was difficult to operate. If it was difficult, probably not many people would be willing to buy it.
“Are you sure this is easy to get a handle on?”
“This operation is very simple.”
Lu Ming helped her buckle her seatbelt. As the two of them were very close to each other, she could feel his breath. It brought a faint blush to her cheeks. Whether from afar or close up, Lu Ming looked perfect to her.
Before she could savor the aftertaste, Lu Ming had returned to his seat.
She could not help feeling vexed. Why did you fasten the seatbelt so quickly? If only it had been longer, she thought wistfully.
Lu Ming did not notice that she was deep in thought. He was completely immersed in his own world. After taking a deep breath, he pressed the start button. The sudden jerk caught Chu Jinyu off guard and she fell right into his arms.
A familiar fragrance reached his nose. She widened her eyes slightly and instinctively touched the ‘thing’ closest to her.
Lu Ming was puzzled by the current situation. He lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms. Her fair skin was as smooth as silk and he could see her pores. Now his mind was stuck and he could not think because it was filled with the scent of Chu Jinyu.
He had never been so intimate with the opposite sex.
It was only now that he realized that Little Yu had gone from being a tomboy to a mature woman.
Their eyes met.
It seemed like romance was in the air.
Just as the atmosphere in the car was heating up, Xia Heng’s voice came through the microphone. “Boss, have you started? Why haven’t I seen it yet?”
Chu Jinyu suddenly returned to her seat. His face was like a ripe apple. Did I fall into Brother Lu Ming’s arms just now? Ahhh! This is a scene that only happens in dreams! she thought.
No matter what, their relationship had progressed further.
She wondered what Brother Lu Ming was thinking.
She stole a glance at him. He seemed very calm.
“Just wait, I’ll be right out.”
Lu Ming coughed a few times and continued to start the door.
Fortunately, his hair was firmly blocking his ears, or else she would have found them particularly red.
His heart rate… increased.
Do I have feelings for my childhood friend?
Or is this a natural physiological reaction?
Allat once, his thoughts were running wild.
‘When he stepped on the accelerator, the car flew out like an arrow. Chu Jinyu exclaimed, “This speed is so fast!”
She had never seen a car so fast!
“Could this be a sports car?” she asked.
Lu Ming explained, “The acceleration time of this car is 2.5 seconds. In other words, when I start it, it will speedily dash out. In addition, this car has a speed of 510 kilometers per hour.”
Chu Jinyu said in disbelief, “So fast!?”
Currently, in the entire world, one would probably not be able to find such a fast car. She looked at Lu Ming’s side profile. This was the first time she knew that he had knowledge of car-making.
This was breaking the world record!
‘The comers of her lips curled up. “This is definitely the fastest car! There will definitely be a lot of people willing to buy it! Brother Lu Ming, you are a genius!”
“Thank you for the compliment, but if you’re surprised, you should stay for a while. This is just an appetizer.”
An appetizer?
This was already a surprise to her. Could there be something else?! she wondered.
Looking at the accelerating speed, she asked in fear, “Isn’t this too fast? Won’t it fly out later?”
“Don’t worry, the chassis of this car is made of dry carbon fiber. Its collision absorption capacity is about seven times that of steel, and it also has higher vibration and fatigue resistance. The latter can reach up to 80% whereas the fatigue resistance of aluminum is only 30-50%.
What do you think?”
Carbon fiber?
She remembered that it would cost at least hundreds of thousands. Isn’t this burning money? she thought.
The entire car is basically made of money.
Chu Jinyu’s gaze was filled with uncertainty. Since when did my childhood friend become so rich?
Could it be 10 billion yuan from this piece of land? she wondered.
Howis this possible?
Where did this money come from?
“It’s quite good. The configuration should be top-notch. I think even the parts for the engine are from big factories, right? The car has quality and speed, and it is spacious enough. It’s just too expensive.”
“If the parts could not hold up, the car would probably be useless.
The engine is a new product developed from research, but the parts were indeed bought from various large car factories. Fortunately, the money spent was not in vain. This time, hammering won’t show any dents. The safety performance is also ensured, and we have basically achieved equilibrium.”
Lu Ming paused for a moment and continued, “Initially, I wanted a speedier car. However, if I was any faster, the car would not be able to take it. Therefore, I could only settle for this. Even the car window was replaced with bulletproof glass. It is super safe.”
Chu Jinyu gasped. “If we add a few more functions, we might be able to go to the battlefield, right?”
She began to wonder if this was really an ordinary car.
Before she could figure it out, Lu Ming smiled and said, “I will surprise you soon!”
Surprise?
She looked up and her pupils constricted.. Isn’t that an alley in front of them!?
