Chapter 1265: 1264 Magical Machine

The weather was getting hotter, and the people of the Capital had shed their woolen sweaters and put on lighter sportswear. The suns.h.i.+ne felt neither cold nor warm on their skin.

Sat.u.r.day was cloudy, making it perfect for mountain climbing, and there was even a breeze in the morning which made it cooler.

The temple Liang Lu talked about was on the mountain, which was not very high. If you climbed the steps, it only took ten minutes. But since Lan Ning’s leg was injured and she had to go up in a wheelchair, someone had to carry her.

Liang Lu initially wanted to have Lu Qing and some other guys carry Lan Ning. It was not until that day she realized that Tan Rou had already made arrangements, so there was no need for Lu Qing and others to exert themselves.

“An automatic stair-climbing wheelchair?” Liang Lu squatted down to examine the wheelchair that looked very sophisticated, “Tan Rou, you didn’t make this, did you?”

Tan Rou smiled and said, “I only provided the design. The production was done in a factory. I thought it would not be ready in time for the trip, so I didn’t mention it.”

Lu Qing moved his arms and said, “I wish I had known about this wheelchair earlier; then I wouldn’t have needed to carry those heavy sandbags up the stairs every day. Director Liang had prepared a 50-kilo sandbag for me to carry up ten floors every day, nearly breaking my legs.”

Liang Lu glared at him, then said, “Isn’t it good for you to train your body? You are either sitting in the office or in the cla.s.sroom every day. When do you have time to exercise?”

Lu Qing retorted, “I also go to the sports field to run. The school has set a running task; I must run 2.5 kilometers every day.”

While the two were bickering, Tan Rou had already fine-tuned the machine. She said to Lan Ning, “I’ve adjusted the program according to your weight. I also tested it last night. The machine’s stair-climbing speed is not very fast, but it’s stable. You don’t have to worry about falling. We will also follow behind you. If the machine malfunctions, we will carry you down.”

Lan Ning trusted Tan Rou’s technology very much and said, “Okay, let’s start climbing the mountain now.”

Since it was their first hiking trip, Tan Rou did not dare to set the machine’s speed too high but adjusted it to a third of an adult’s walking speed. Then, they slowly followed behind the machine as they climbed.

As it was the weekend, there were many people on the mountain. They could not occupy too much of the stairs, so they divided into two rows and two groups—one group clearing the way ahead and the other keeping an eye on Lan Ning and the machine.

These stairs were about four meters wide, and they occupied a third of them, leaving the rest for other visitors to pa.s.s through.

Among the visitors were many elderly people, holding walking sticks, resting frequently as they walked. When this miraculous machine pa.s.sed by them, it captured their attention.

Elderly people often start to suffer from ailments, and many need a wheelchair in their old age. However, if they have to sit in a wheelchair, moving around becomes very inconvenient, especially when they want to go out. Without someone to push them, they cannot leave their homes.

Sometimes they feel like going to the park, but the park is full of steps, and they can’t maneuver a wheelchair over them, so they often choose to give up on going out.

“Young lady, where did you buy this wheelchair?” An old man with a walking stick came over and asked, “It seems quite practical. Can you recommend one for me, too?”

Lan Ning replied, “I’m sorry, Grandpa, but I didn’t buy this wheelchair. It was made by my friend.”

The old man was a bit disappointed. If it was a custom modification, it probably would not be ma.s.s-produced, but he still wanted to try his luck because the wheelchair seemed very practical.

“Then can you give me your friend’s contact information?” the old man asked, “I want to buy one for my older brother, who has been paralyzed for many years. Normally, he can only go outside with someone pus.h.i.+ng him. With this wheelchair, he could go anywhere he wants.”

Lan Ning looked back at Tan Rou. Tan Rou nodded and then said, “If you need it, you can leave your contact information. Once our company launches this product, we will notify you.”

The old man was very happy, “Good, I’ll leave you my contact information.”

When he started, the old men and women nearby came over too, each of them wanting to leave their contact information with Tan Rou.
