72 bikes of little use
"Bikes. What is it? King Qin asked.
"This, it's better for you to take a step and take a look, the king." Shang Wen said. The explanation is definitely not clear, it is better to see. Maybe. Capable of mass production. If the Qin army can be equipped in large quantities, then the Qin army will be a motorized force. It's all on wheels. Shang Wen was very happy when he thought of this.
"Okay, let's take a look." Saying that, King Qin had bypassed the case and walked out of the big tent, and Shang Wen followed.
Xi Lao was installing gears and chains at this time. This thing is pretty good to install. It didn't take much effort. Xi Lao was about to put on a little oil to lubricate it. "King Qin has arrived". Came. Xi Lao hurriedly walked out of the tent to greet him.
I saw the old man kneeling outside the big tent. "Get up. No need to be so polite. King Qin waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, the king." Hi Lao stood up.
Walk into the big tent. King Qin looked around. Pointing to the bicycle, he said, "This is the bicycle." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xi Lao hurriedly said.
"How do you use this?" King Qin asked.
Xi Lao looked at the bicycle with a melancholy expression. Xi Lao didn't know how to use it.
"Your Majesty, let the ministers demonstrate." Shang Wen volunteered to stand up. In this day and age, who would. I guess it's myself. Shang Wen can only take it seriously.
Shangwen launches the bike. Step your legs across the crossbar of the bike. Then sit in the saddle. I don't know what this thing does. It's so comfortable to do. Shang Wen thought in his heart. Then Shangwen made a fulcrum with one foot. Step on the pedals with the other foot. With a hard push, the bike starts to step forward. Shang Wen also took advantage of the trend to ride a bicycle.
"Yikes." The generals let out a cry of surprise. Watching Shang Wen ride his bicycle back and forth.
"Yes." The widow also came to give it a try. King Qin said eagerly.
Shang Wen got out of the car and gave the car to King Qin. King Qin rode his bicycle as Shang Wen did. At first, I couldn't walk on my own. The main thing is that you can't get the balance right. Shang Wen immediately stepped forward and said the essentials. King Qin set out again. It was very smooth and went out. King Qin also pedaled his bicycle back and forth. The generals watched. Would like to give it a try too. Shang Wen took a look. There is a door. Now the Qin State has cavalry, infantry and bicycles. Hey. The mobility is indescribable.
If you compare the cavalry to a tank, add the heavy cavalry that is being formed. Then the state of Qin has a strong mobility. The infantry was then equipped with bicycles. Think about it. The cavalry in front opened the way. Behind a large group of soldiers on bicycles chased after him. Hey, the ancient version of Blitzkrieg.
The more Shang Wen thought about it, the happier he became. In this case, just place an order. That's a huge astronomical amount. Shang Wen's saliva was about to flow out.
King Qin got out of the car and gave the bicycle to someone else. Let someone else give it a try. King Qin stood among the generals at this time and looked at the bicycle. It seems to be thinking about something. Shang Wen was silently calculating how much a bicycle could sell for.
"What do you think of this bike?" King Qin asked.
"This." Generals, look at me, I'll look at you.
"The minister thinks that this bicycle, against our army. Not very useful. It was Wang Jian who opened his mouth first. What went on next. shattered his dreams.
How could it be. How is that possible? This is the bike. I think the Japanese army still had a bicycle blitzkrieg.
"The last general also thinks that this bike is not very useful." A general meets to.
The last general also thinks. This bicycle is used in battle formations, and it cannot form a battle formation in a short period of time. "A general gives a reason.
"yes. The last general also thinks. This object must be held with both hands to drive. However, in this way, the weapon cannot be carried. My Qin army can only be barely used by sword and axe hands. But the soldiers with beryllium. No hands. Hard. A general stepped forward and continued.
"Even if it's equipped with soldiers like crossbows and axemen. But the speed is faster than that of the infantry. In this way, the whole formation was opened up at once, and there was no way to talk about mutual support. A general said again.
Oh my God, so many shortcomings. This bicycle couldn't have come out at the right time. Shang Wen was completely disappointed.
"And." One of the generals continued. Shang Wen couldn't even listen.
"It's slower than the cavalry, but it's faster than the cavalry. When used in battle formations, soldiers cannot change formations quickly. Once our army encountered an enemy attack on the march. The position of our army will inevitably be disrupted. After listening to the general's words, Shang Wen really didn't have any interest in listening to it. This is really a naked blow. What I finally researched on my own turned out to be so useless.
This discussion continues, and Shang Wen doesn't want to listen to it anymore. Originally, the advent of bicycles laid some foundations for aircraft manufacturing. I think the Latte brothers bought bicycles back then. If you don't have this knowledge as a foundation. Airplanes are hardly improving. Now it's just coming out. Just knocked out in the war. Next. In what direction to turn. Civil. Just kidding how much civilian value this thing has. Shang Wen really can't imagine it when he thinks about it. Could it be that he died at birth? Shang Wen was a little unwilling. Look at Hi Lao again. It sounds a little melancholy. After all. This thing was made by Xi Lao. When I heard it, it was so no. It must be uncomfortable.
It was discussed for a long time. The results of the estimates are out. That is, this thing will definitely not get a military order. The army certainly doesn't use it. The question is, why not. Shang Wen couldn't figure it out. Hands. The problem is hands. Shang Wen looked at his hands. What's wrong with this.
This time. Meng Tian rode his bicycle and rode again with a halberd. The question is. It was difficult for Meng Tian, who was holding the halberd, to make a U-turn, or to slash and kill. Originally, holding a halberd required a certain amount of flexibility. However, on a bike, I'm afraid. I can't walk freely. But, get off that. That's right. It must be so. As soon as you get out of the car, you get out of the car and others get out of the car. There are bikes all over the floor. Where do you put your feet? Pedaling on the bike. So. You won't be able to stand still. Come to think of this. Shang Wen frowned.
In the final analysis, it turned out to be the difference between the combat mode of ancient cold weapons and the combat mode of modern hot weapons. Now the guns are used in combat, just get out of the car. Get down. Shoot and fight. And ancient times are different. Cold weapons are used. It must be face-to-face. Form a certain formation. It's enough to form a rush. That's the difference.
With a gun. The advantages of the bicycle can be brought into play. Sometimes, it can be used as cover. Distinguish. That's the difference. In this era when broadswords and spears were the mainstay. Bicycles are not very useful. That's why bicycles were able to appear in modern times rather than in ancient times.
