She Came to Heal, Stayed to Conquer

Chapter 168 - 131: Lending Them a Helping Hand

Han Lei sighed, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness, "No, I just feel that their work speed is too slow."

"They’re already working hard."

Zhao Zun turned to look at the sweat-drenched laborers, feeling a bit of pity in his heart.

"I’m not saying they’re not working hard, but these tools are too outdated. Baskets and backpacks are not suitable for large-scale transportation; the efficiency is too low."

Zhao Zun was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

The wasteland project in Qingshui County, with those advanced tools provided by Han Lei, has indeed greatly improved work efficiency. In contrast, the baskets and backpacks currently in use seem too primitive.

"Do you have better tools?" Zhao Zun’s eyes flashed with anticipation, "Then quickly bring them out."

Han Lei pointed to a cleared area in the distance, "Come, follow me."

Upon hearing that Han Lei had something new to showcase, Zhao Zun and the two trusted aides behind him were thrilled and quickly followed.

Since Xiao Zhengfei was sent by Zhao Zun to recruit government troops, and Ping Chuan was also out on a mission, Zhao Zun was accompanied only by Mr. Meng and Zhang Ergou.

Though Zhang Ergou was young, only about twenty or twenty-one, he was highly skilled in martial arts and was chosen by Xiao Zhengfei for Zhao Zun’s trusted aide camp.

The group reached the open space, which was a distance away from where the laborers worked and surrounded by some obstructions, making it relatively hidden.

Han Lei closed her eyes, bringing her consciousness into the system panel, and swiftly purchased ten three-wheeled vehicles.

With her operation, ten brand-new three-wheeled vehicles suddenly appeared on the open ground, their bright red paint gleaming exceptionally under the sunlight.

Mr. Meng and Zhang Ergou were startled by the sudden spectacle, with Zhang Ergou widening his eyes and gulping involuntarily.

"Princess Consort, are you... are you a deity?"

They all knew that Han Lei could often inexplicably produce some items, but it was usually limited to food or small gadgets like electric batons. Unexpectedly, this time it was so many big pieces.

Han Lei glanced at him playfully and said, "No, I’m a monster."

"Pfft!"

Zhao Zun almost burst into laughter upon hearing this.

He suddenly recalled how when Han Lei first arrived at the Beiguan Camp, some soldiers suspected she was a monster, only to be thoroughly beaten by her.

"Princess Consort, what are these things?"

Mr. Meng asked curiously as he couldn’t resist touching the body of a three-wheeled vehicle.

Han Lei walked to one of the three-wheeled vehicles, patted the vehicle body, and explained, "This is called a three-wheeled vehicle. It runs faster than a horse-drawn carriage and carries more, perfect for transporting cement and raw materials. However, someone needs to learn how to drive them."

"I’ll learn!" Zhang Ergou immediately raised his hand, his face full of excitement.

"I want to learn too!" Mr. Meng was equally eager.

Even Zhao Zun was tempted, "Since everyone is so interested, why don’t we all learn?"

Han Lei nodded in agreement and began patiently teaching them how to drive.

She first explained the basic operational steps, then personally demonstrated how to start, accelerate, steer, and brake.

The three-wheeled vehicle is actually an electric vehicle, not very complex to operate, and the group quickly grasped the essentials.

Zhang Ergou was the first to attempt driving, carefully imitating Han Lei’s actions as he seated himself in the driver’s seat, grasped the handle, and gently twisted the throttle, causing the three-wheeled vehicle to move forward slowly.

He was overjoyed, "It moved, it really moved! This thing is amazing!"

Mr. Meng and Zhao Zun also took turns test-driving, mastering the vehicle quickly.

The ground was uneven, and as the three-wheeled vehicles drove, they emitted a bumping sound, attracting the attention of people working in the distance, who all craned their necks to look over.

Han Lei stood aside, watching their enthusiastic expressions with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

With the three-wheeled vehicles transporting materials, the daily long trip required only one problem to be solved: charging. Anyway, many of the things they would use in the future required charging, so Han Lei decided to simply buy a diesel generator.

Taking advantage of their practice time, Han Lei purchased a five-thousand-watt diesel generator and some tools like shovels and spades from the system.

Han Lei squatted on the ground, connecting the power strip to the generator while occasionally checking on them practicing.

Men are naturally fascinated by mechanics, and Zhao Zun and the two trusted aides were trying out driving for the first time, their enthusiasm undeniable.

"With these three-wheeled vehicles, transporting those stones will be much faster."

Zhao Zun stopped the three-wheeled vehicle in front of Han Lei, unable to hide his joy.

Han Lei nodded, "We can organize a team specifically responsible for driving the three-wheeled vehicles, which will greatly accelerate the cement plant’s production progress."
