At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Yangguan sprinkled the northern guard station, below is a long slightly dinner road, this 20 kilometers long looks new, directly through the 19th district near the northern guard station in the mountains, the road is four lanes, a long time ago this road was connected to the city, is an important road of the ring road.

Over time, the ring road disappeared, but this section of the road remained, and the road in the mountains did not fall into disrepair, but as if it were new.

On the west side of the Phoebus Resort Manor, there is a 5-storey building block that is smaller than the first floor, all the windows are black, the best photoelectric coating is used, and the photoelectric conversion rate reaches 95%, this material is extremely expensive, more than 30,000 yuan per square meter.

At this time, Jean and Ranzai were standing in front of the building, Jean was smiling and smoking, one of the pleasures of coming to Phoebus Resort Manor was to come here to drive, an important means of human transportation for centuries, the car.

"It's really laid-back."

Ran Zai yawned, remembering that he was in the most declining era of automobiles, when there were many scrapped cars on the streets and alleys, waiting to be dismantled, because a large number of automobile industries were disintegrated, and there was no place to buy the parts needed to maintain the cars, plus Congress issued a repeal order for automobiles.

Ran Zai clearly remembers that it was a very hot year, the surface temperature reached nearly 40 degrees, and the heat made everyone look tired, that is, at that time, the car was abolished, and the strong wind that was about to blow away the house could often be felt at night.

There were already serious problems in the ecosystem, so Congress was very decisive, no one objected, abolished the car, and used the huge and intricate transportation network underground, and it was at this point in time that the Angus family finally completed the Jedi turnover, but the other family, one of the eight families, Phoebus, was not so lucky.

Ran Zai still remembers that when the order to abolish the car came down, his grandfather was excited to drink and have fun all night surrounded by women.

Ran Zai looked at the old Locke in front of him, presumably he was afraid that he would hang himself at that time, and all his assets were basically emptied because of the purchase of a large number of car companies, which seemed to be a big gamble, or that he was cheated of nothing after being set up by his grandfather.

"I can't imagine that there will ever be a day when cars will be banned."

Locke watched the door in front of him open little by little, and a large garage appeared, and Ran Zai looked at the rows of cars in it with some surprise, from sports cars to off-road vehicles to box trucks, trucks, etc., there were hundreds of large and small cars here.

"It's really generous, the cars here are worth more than one billion if you calculate anything, and the annual maintenance fee is probably not easy!"

Locke smiled slightly and shook his head helplessly.

"Pick one, Mr. Jean."

Jean smiled and walked in, looking left and right, stopping in front of a sleek, pure black sports car with patches of wrinkled skin that looked like a lizard, and pressed his hand on the hood, the rear wheel a little larger than the front.

"This car is a new product that we used to be proud of, but unfortunately it died before it was listed, 0 to 600 kilometers of acceleration only takes 2 seconds, can be equipped with a semi-AI recognition system, can complete the calculation of the nearby ground in 0.01 seconds, the calculation of the road section ahead only takes 1 second to reach 300 meters away, can be manual or automatic, with a very comfortable feel."

Jean nodded, and immediately several technicians dressed in black came, they all looked very old, eighty or ninety years old, and at the moment when they wanted to open the car door, a light and shadow screen popped up, and a technician pressed his hand up.

With a creak, the door of the car began to fold up and lean back, like a pair of black bird wings, only two seats, Jean directly entered the room, found that the vision was very good, and it was very comfortable to do it, immediately accompanied by a beam of light that swept over Jean's body, the seat began to automatically adjust, in front of him is a long steering wheel, which has a lot of functions, only needs to turn left and right slightly to complete the turn, because the car's own driving assistance function can complete the precise turn, Able to make turns and travel according to where the human eye is looking.

There are a lot of driving modes to choose from, and these modes can be switched, the engine is the use of aerodynamic system, no need to use electricity or other energy sources, around the dense almost only the size of the tip of the needle holes, will instantly absorb the surrounding air, compressed in the engine into kinetic energy, and then kinetic energy through special mechanical components to the wheels, and then start braking.

"Come up!"

Jean said and pointed to the seat next to him, and Ran Zai walked over and sat in the co-pilot's seat, and immediately the beam swept back and the seat began to adjust its position.

"In the past, cars were indispensable for people, but in all cities it is the same later, and the first 10 kilometers of the car can take an hour or more."

"Why?"

Jean smiled slightly, directly adjusted the speed mode, excited like a child, he has not driven a car for many years, Jean can drive at the age of 12, and a group of friends drive a car in exchange for the abandoned treatment plant, after spray painting, often drag racing with others on the street at night, for this matter Jean has been arrested and imprisoned 6 times.

Ready to start!

With a mechanical sound, there was a slight whistle-like sound on the outside the moment the door closed, and the car slowly drove out of the warehouse, with only one throttle to control the speed.

At this time, the car fell into darkness, the road in front of him was seen very clearly, Jean stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and in an instant, with a flash of light, the car sped out, Ran Zai swallowed, without the slightest shaking, the sight in front of him was rapidly approaching, and even felt that it was getting slower and slower.

Looking at the speeding car, Locke looked back at the cars behind him with some heartache, it used to be a very good paid experience project for a test drive here, but in recent years, there are fewer and fewer people who can drive, and few people are willing to learn, after all, the cost of a test drive is quite expensive, 2000 yuan at a time.

Later, Locke lowered the price to 500 yuan, and still few people wanted to come here for a test drive, but the motorboat on the sea was very popular.

Locke looked at the manor down the hill, and could see the Sea House on the other side of the sea of trees, he didn't know what was going on with his granddaughter, and now these two giant bills were their lifesaver.

In the past, they were able to make a lot of money from vegetation, but because of the degree of sunlight and the need for nutrient solution in the soil, many districts on the ground floor no longer even rented their trees, as if they did not want this expenditure to affect the economy of the region, and many councillors cut down the cost of renting trees.

Trees also need to be regularly sent to prune and maintain, etc., all by the employees of the Phoebus family, but this involves labor costs, and now even some members of the middle and upper echelons are considering, instead of planting trees, it is better to install air purification devices, after all, the conversion rate of photoelectric coating in many areas of the middle and upper floors is 6 percent, and the electricity is enough to support the delivery of air purification devices.

Some companies have developed an air purification device that looks like a tree, which can completely replace the original planted tree, and can change color and shine at night, without the need for a real tree, originally this sea of trees was an important source of income for the Phoebus family, but the income has been declining year by year.

Most of the trees are so vigorous that they can only be cut down and made into carvings or solid wood furniture, which is of course expensive and troublesome to carry, and people in the city are becoming more and more accustomed to this kind of convenient life.

Locke quietly walked in front of a red convertible, pressed the hood with one hand, and looked at it with some sadness, this car used to be driven by his wife, it was an antique car, and now it still relies on electric energy, which is the only car that Locke is reluctant to modify.

Locke felt more and more as if he was a product of the times, slowly dying, and the whole family was the same, and if the price of Phoebus Resort was lowered, it would indeed increase the number of visitors, but if the number of tourists increased, it would mean that the cost of expensive facility maintenance would increase, and the result would be the same.

The car slowly stopped at the wall in front of him, where the original road had been watered with titan alloy and concrete, and in order to prevent the northern mountain from collapsing, Jean opened the car door and stepped down, leaned on the hood, and lit a cigarette.

"Not bad."

Ran Zai smiled a little happily.

"It costs 500 yuan to open it once."

Jean said, and Ran Zai tapped on the lid of the car and sighed.

"I said, Mr. Jean, you didn't come here by accident this time, did you?"

Jean shook his head.

"I just want to come and play."

"Really?"

Ran Jae asked with a skeptical look, and Jean smiled and tilted his head to look at the northern guard station not far above.

"Well, to be serious, it is true that the establishment of agricultural bases in the barrier area and the construction of sewage treatment plants in the gully area need to use cars."

"It's good to just let 10 branches be produced, using full mimic X, even if there will be some wear and tear, but you can recycle it directly when you run out, I see that old man's car, many of them are made of metal, and the cost is a little high."

"It's true that the cost is a bit high, but it's necessary, and it's quite common for vehicles to be in the barrier area."

Ran Zai seemed to have something in mind.

"Mr. Jean, your vacation is just a cover, not for work!"

Jean shook his head and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"It's a vacation, indeed!"
