Chapter 316 Tracked Vehicles Climbing the Hill, All the Old Men in the Village Are Envious!
"No! This isn't enough!"
Inside the cockpit, Jiang Wanshan's powerful voice, amplified by an external high-fidelity loudspeaker, resonated clearly throughout the entire village committee compound.
"Chenzi! Go to the back mountain!"
"I'm going to drive this thing around the construction site a couple of times!"
At the old man's command, Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
He walked to the cockpit and briefly explained the operating procedures.
Jiang Wanshan nodded repeatedly, his excitement even greater than when he directed the entire village to dig a reservoir years ago.
He gripped the excellent-feeling omnidirectional joystick and pushed it forward with a jolt!
"Waaah—"
With a slight crackling of electricity, the tracks of this ferocious steel behemoth turned, it turned around, and swaggered off toward the construction site on the back mountain.
It wasn't fast, maybe only a little faster than the sprinting speed of the old ox in the village.
But its momentum was overwhelming!
The wide tracks pressed silently on the brand-new "Jiang Wanshan Avenue," yet they carried an overwhelming sense of majesty.
This really angered the village dogs.
Little Black from Widow Wang's house at the east end, Big Yellow from Li Erleng's house at the west end, and more than a dozen other mongrels that usually roamed the village like tyrants all suddenly appeared from every corner.
They followed behind this "steel monster" at a safe distance, barking wildly, forming a formidable "escort team".
The villagers followed behind spontaneously, as if they were watching a grand parade.
Everyone's face was filled with curiosity and envy.
Soon, the group arrived at the only road leading to the construction site on the back mountain.
Before us lay a steep, muddy slope with a full 30 degrees.
It had rained a few days ago, and the road was muddy and covered with puddles and tire tracks of all sizes.
Not to mention people, even Wang Dagou and his gang's modified Mercedes-Benz G-Class cars have to drive very carefully every time they come up here, and they often slip.
The workers who were busy at the construction site stopped what they were doing as soon as they saw the commotion from afar.
They watched as the extravagantly designed "wheelchair" drove down the slope, and they all held their breath in suspense.
"My God, is the old man planning to drive this thing down a hill?"
"This slope is too steep, and it's muddy too; even a tractor has a hard time getting up here. Will this little thing be able to handle it?"
"Please, I hope nothing bad happens! If the car overturns, that would be terrible!"
Even his father, Jiang Jianguo, showed a hint of worry on his face.
Jiang Chen, however, remained calm and composed.
Inside the cockpit, Jiang Wanshan also stopped.
Looking at the treacherous muddy slope before him, he raised an eyebrow, showing no fear whatsoever, but rather a long-lost sense of pride.
Back then, he led all the able-bodied men in the village and, using only hoes and shovels, carved out a road in this very place!
Today, he's going to see just how good his "new ride" really is!
"snort!"
Jiang Wanshan snorted coldly and pushed the joystick all the way down!
Just when everyone thought the car was about to suddenly lurch forward.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
"Click! Click-click!"
A series of precise mechanical transmission sounds came from the chassis of the car.
Before everyone's eyes, the entire chassis of the "tank wheelchair" slowly rose at least thirty centimeters!
Immediately afterwards, the distance between the two tracks also widened outwards!
The car body, which originally looked rather small, instantly transformed into a crouching beast, exuding a powerful aura!
This is Sabre Pro's most advanced "All-Terrain Adaptive System"!
Before the villagers could even react to this scene that resembled Transformers.
"Waaah—"
The tracks turned, and with an extremely steady and unquestionable posture, it directly rolled up that muddy, steep slope!
There was absolutely no slippage!
There was absolutely no delay!
Those two wide tracks, like two rows of sharp teeth, gripped the ground tightly, pulling the vehicle along as steadily as an old dog, climbing upwards step by step with unwavering determination!
What made everyone's scalp tingle was...
As the slope increased, the entire chassis of the car began to automatically tilt and compensate!
No matter how steep the slope outside, the cabin inside always remains perfectly level!
Several sharp-eyed villagers could even see clearly through the bulletproof glass that the tea in the purple clay teacup on the coffee table next to the old man was completely still, without even a ripple!
"Oh my god..."
"This...this is fucking cutting-edge technology!"
"We made it up! We really made it up!"
The workers were all dumbfounded, their mouths agape, forgetting all about their work.
The old men who had come up to watch the spectacle, who usually gathered under the big tree at the village entrance and called themselves the "Chess Saint of Jiangjia Village," were now staring so intently their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
One of them, an old man named Jiang Baichuan, was Jiang Wanshan's rival for decades. He had never won against him on the chessboard, but he never admitted defeat verbally.
He watched the "tank" gliding effortlessly up the steep slope, and his teeth ached with envy.
"Hmph! All flash and no substance!"
Jiang Baichuan curled his lip and said sourly to another old man, Jiang Qiming, beside him:
"This high-tech gadget is so cold and lifeless, it has no soul at all!"
"Nothing compares to our time, when people carried things on their backs and oxen pulled them—that was real fun! That's what conquering nature meant!"
Jiang Qiming nodded in agreement: "Exactly, it's so boring."
Their conversation wasn't loud, but it sounded exceptionally clear on the quiet hillside.
Jiang Wanshan, who was having a great time playing in the cockpit, also heard these two sarcastic remarks.
The old man raised an eyebrow and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
Soulless?
He pressed a button on the control panel with his right hand and activated the external loudspeaker.
next second!
"Dou Erdun, with his blue face, stole the imperial horse."
"Guan Yu with a red face battles Changsha!"
"Dian Wei with a yellow face, Cao Cao with a white face."
"Zhang Fei, with his dark face, is chattering away!"
A high-pitched, powerful excerpt from the Peking Opera "Talking and Singing Facial Makeup" resounded throughout the entire construction site on the back hill through two high-fidelity amplifiers larger than human heads!
The sound quality was clear and loud, even more powerful than the loudspeaker used for village meetings!
As Jiang Wanshan drove, he tapped his fingers on his thighs to the rhythm, humming along as he did so, thoroughly enjoying himself!
Down the hillside, two old men, Jiang Baichuan and Jiang Qiming, were completely taken aback by the sudden Peking Opera performance.
Jiang Baichuan, in particular, hated Peking Opera the most, always saying it was just a lot of noise.
At that moment, Jiang Wanshan used this "noise" to give him a resounding response in front of the whole village!
Jiang Baichuan was so angry that he stomped his feet.
"He...he did this on purpose! That old bastard!"
The surrounding villagers couldn't help but laugh at the sight.
From today onwards, Old Master Jiang's status in Jiangjia Village has completely changed.
He was no longer the old man who could only sit in the main room, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan and giving orders.
Instead, he became the only one in the entire village to drive a "tank" to the construction site to supervise the work, becoming the "strongest overlord"!
His impressive presence was so striking that even the tireless T-800 robots on the construction site had to stop and give way to him when they encountered him in narrow passages.
Seeing the old man's childlike and happy expression, Wang Xiuying, the mother, was overjoyed.
She leaned closer to Jiang Chen and whispered, "You kid, even though you're a spendthrift, this money... was really well spent!"
This incredible, high-stakes move, which can be described as a super-rich maneuver, spread like wildfire throughout the surrounding area.
Even people from the neighboring town drove their tricycles and brought their families to see the spectacle, just to catch a glimpse of the legendary "super wheelchair" that was supposedly bought for three million.
Jiangjia Village has once again become the focus of attention for all the surrounding villages and towns.
Just as Grandpa Jiang was driving his new car around the mountains and fields, enjoying the envious and jealous looks from the whole village.
In Jiang Chen's mind.
The system notification sound, which had been suppressed for three whole days and sounded like heavenly music, finally erupted!
