Chapter 75 - Car

I returned to Croatoan Island after a long time, precariously carrying the Hijet on a barge.

The reason for bringing the Hijet was obvious. There's hardly anything pointed to load and carry from Croatoan Island.

The Hijet may look quite pathetic, but that's only from our 21st century perspective.

The power this tiny car's engine can produce is a whopping 35 horsepower.

...Of course it looks ridiculously pathetic, but as mentioned earlier, that's by 21st century standards. Let's think about what the standard of "horsepower" actually is.

Horses. Horses.

From the perspective of this era, where horses pull carts, wouldn't the Hijet have tremendous power equivalent to a carriage pulled by thirty-five horses?

Bump!

"...Guess not."

Anyway, after disembarking from the barge, I'm now driving along the well-paved (by 16th century standards) road, but I feel like I'm going to go crazy with anxiety every time I hit a rock. What if this thing tips over?
