202: Chapter 202 It Started Running
Su Xueer and the others laughed heartily, then hurriedly scrambled into the military jeep.
They got settled, and the military jeep quickly started moving.
Everyone felt a wave of fear and trepidation.
Those people just now were serious!
If they hadn't cooperated, it was hard to imagine what their fate would have been.
And behind them... the giant machine was still crawling along slowly.
At this moment, perhaps making some adjustments, the giant machine suddenly stopped quite quickly.
This...
The audience in the live stream room immediately burst out laughing.
"Heh heh... It seems this thing is nothing special. I think it's not as formidable as rumored."
"Exactly, exactly. After all, this thing hasn't been fine-tuned by a major factory. It's common for issues to arise, let alone the fact that they cobbled it together using scrap parts..."
"What use can a machine like this possibly have? We were just momentarily amazed. Everyone must believe that science and technology are the real productive forces, and you need a mature industrial product chain to support it."
"Otherwise, it will just deflate in a few days, just like this piece of junk now."
"..."
Soon, someone in the live stream room stepped forward to make sarcastic remarks.
Clearly, they were not optimistic about the giant machine Lin Heng had built.
The atmosphere in the live stream room was even influenced for a while, filled with such scrolling comments.
Likewise, many uninformed netizens were also swayed at this moment.
It made sense...
Why could a machine that Lin Heng casually put together be better than machines that others had researched for I don't know how many years?
Many people expressed their agreement.
This is what the normal situation should look like!
And at this moment...
Rumble!
A roaring sound erupted.
Many viewers in the live stream room were busy typing on their keyboards, but they suddenly noticed a deafening sound reaching their ears.
What the heck?
For a moment, everyone was confused.
Su Xueer also just managed to react.
They turned their heads.
And then...
They noticed a shocking scene!
What is going on!?
Many people were even holding their breath at this moment!
In their eyes, that terrifying, behemoth-like existence had actually started to "run"!
The rumbling sound was naturally the noise this thing erupted with earlier!
Hiss...!
Many people immediately gasped in cold air!
"Holy cow! That thing is running!?"
"Am I seeing things? This thing can actually run? And its speed is hardly any slower than a regular car!"
"Wait!"
"Hurry, pay attention!"
It wasn't over yet!
They saw that terrifying thing actually starting to sprint at this moment...
The speed might not have exceeded a hundred kilometers per hour, but it was definitely seventy or eighty!
It even directly surpassed the speed of the military jeep!
Because the viewers in the live stream room noticed that the thing was appearing larger and larger in their view...
It was almost covering the entire screen!
Many people outside the live stream room were startled.
It gave them the feeling that a terrifying mechanical giant beast was about to burst out of the screen and crush them!
Many people's hearts pounded.
Soon, the screen was covered by mottled green paint, and a sound like a roaring train was heard.
After noticing this scene, they almost threw their screens away!
In less than one or two seconds, that terrifying thing had already vanished from their screens.
It was terrifying!
Whoosh... whoosh...
"Wh-what was that thing that just passed by?"
"I don't know, was it the harvester Lin Heng was driving?"
"Incredible... That thing's speed must have been over a hundred!"
"I don't know... But I feel like it was close... To overtake the jeep in one or two seconds, I think that's credible... Cough, cough!"
"..."
The live stream room buzzed with discussion.
They almost thought they had seen the Strider combat armor running...
Now... it was likely that not only the National Poverty Alleviation Office needed to come observe, but probably others as well...
Soon...
Many new accounts appeared in the live stream room.
These were domestic manufacturers, as well as some foreign ones...
Even the engine supplier for Mercedes-Benz came to observe...
What was going on?
Is Mercedes-Benz entering agricultural machinery now?
And subsequently, famous manufacturers from around the world appeared.
When they noticed the giant machine that had already sped out of sight ahead, they were momentarily speechless.
This...
They could hardly imagine what had just happened!
...
Meanwhile...
Su Xueer was lost in shock and couldn't snap out of it for a long time.
However, after just a short while, they were jolted back to reality by someone calling out.
Black Brother, who was driving, frowned.
Why were these people making such a fuss?
It was as if they had never seen these things before?
Weren't they all from the Dragon Country?
"We've arrived."
The other party quickly reminded them.
It was only then that Su Xueer and the others came back to their senses.
They licked their dry lips before slowly recovering from the shock, finally accepting the terrifying event that had just occurred.
And then...
Su Xueer quickly noticed something was wrong.
"Hey... Did you guys notice? It seems like only a very short amount of time has passed?"
"Do you know how long passed?"
She asked subconsciously.
The female assistant she asked was also stunned for a moment.
Because she was too shocked earlier, she didn't know what happened.
Nor did she know how much time had actually passed.
But Su Xueer was right; she also felt like only a little while had gone by.
"I don't know... Let me check the time..."
The other person quickly took out her phone.
But another young man spoke up: "No need to look, only twelve minutes have passed!"
Ah!?
As soon as these words came out, everyone subconsciously froze.
At this speed, only twelve minutes had passed?
Is that real!?
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
They all took out the devices they could use to check the time, and then...
Hiss...!
Everyone gasped in cold air.
It was true!
Twelve minutes!
And it was only thirteen minutes now.
This meant they had only traveled for such a short time?
Wasn't the distance between oases supposed to be very far?
Could this just be an exception?
At this moment, the sound of the harvester started to appear ahead.
However, it wasn't Lin Heng operating it.
He was also sitting comfortably under the canopy.
Su Xueer couldn't help but step forward to ask.
"Classmate Lin Heng, are the distances between these oases all this short?"
"Oases? This is an artificial plantation!"
Lin Heng replied casually.
