Every "okay, now on, everybody practice and ride on the bike." Pull the guardrail of the carriage with your hands, go up and down the slopes, turn tricks! Seeing that after a day of practice, basically all child laborers have learned almost, Zhu Zilong put forward new requirements.

Learning to ride a bicycle is actually nothing difficult, as long as normal people overcome the pressure at the beginning. You can practice it in a few hours!

And like now, if you concentrate on practicing all day, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Bicycles are not horse-drawn carriages and cars after all, and flat roads and downhill roads are fine. It's a bit of a hassle when going uphill, and of course, because the body is not heavy, pushing uphill is also possible.

Wooden bicycles, on the other hand, are lighter than iron bikes. In these years, it was the minimum requirement to be a soldier in the Great Song Dynasty to carry forty or fifty pounds, even if it was a child soldier. Therefore, Zhu Zilong's bicycle is not too heavy for them.

Even if you add a pile of newspapers to the back, it is not as heavy as a pair of armor.

If it is said that the modern people of the 21st century in later generations are much stronger than the ancients in terms of enjoyment because of the development of science and technology. But in terms of physical fitness, it is that the ancient people have completely exploded the modern people. Even if the ancient people were malnourished, they were much stronger than the modern people's physique.

Life lies in movement, in strong faith!

In addition, the intensity and method of labor are also different, which determines that ancient people are stronger than modern people in this regard.

is like a classmate of Zhu Zilong before the crossing. He is 180 tall and weighs 184 pounds. When I first practiced explosive power, I took a 20-pound iron rod and stabbed forward. First, I don't dare to use all my strength, otherwise some small muscles in my body will not be able to bear it. The second is that it can't be supported for a maximum of 10 consecutive hits.

Later, the muscles went up, and I was able to participate in provincial bodybuilding competitions. However, this is not of any use, and when it comes to working, going back to my hometown to help with farm work, even a 50-year-old lady can't compare. Embarrassment!

After three days of training like this, Zhu Zilong's requirements for the team became higher and higher. From what two to one trailer, to three to one, five to one. One car for two people, one car for five people, two cars for ten people.

If you continue to practice your feet, it is estimated that you can ride a bicycle to participate in the military parade like Ah Sange's side.

It was only then that Zhu Zilong called a stop, indicating that it was okay.

And there are more and more onlookers. Especially after the publicity of the Great Song Weekly, there are many people from the other side of the city who also came to watch the play. The next day, Zhu Zilong set up a porridge spot here to spread porridge to the victims.

This attracted more and more people, indirectly allowing them to spread ten, ten, ten, and ten, and also played a propaganda role.

As a result, not only the entire Kaifeng people know about bicycles, but even outside Kaifeng, there are many people who know about it.

"This seems to be quite interesting. You say, don't you? The people of Kaifeng who passed all the way said to others.

"It's not just fun, is it? I've been here a few times too, and each time it surprised me more. Look at the present, those who practice cycling have started to ride on bicycles, carrying a hundred pounds of newspapers, and starting to ride. Moreover, except for the difficulty when going uphill, the road surface on other slopes is not much slower than that of a horse-drawn carriage. A line of peddlers suddenly said from the side.

"It makes sense, maybe on the official road outside the city, the carriage will be faster and carry more weight. But on the trails, on the pavements in the city. Many places are not conducive to horse-drawn carriage walking, but the opposite is that this kind of bicycle is more convenient, and we are lighter to transport some things! "The businessman agrees.

"That's all, let's just make a few bicycles and transport goods for ourselves, right?"

"Yes, it is easy to see the mountains, but it is difficult to walk. You don't see it, the bike looks like it's just made of wood, but it's not. ”

"Oh, what's the difference?" Everyone was amazed, and they all looked at a man who suddenly jumped out.

The man sat down with a smile and said to everyone, "In this convoy and newspaper office, there are my relatives. According to them, the materials and craftsmanship of this bicycle are actually very unusual. ”

"First of all, the wood used for the body is iron birch. Iron birch, do you know? ”

"Iron birch? Isn't it a tree that is harder than a hundred steels? Someone suddenly screamed in the crowd.

The man smiled: "Exactly! ”

After saying this, the man took out a newspaper from his arms, looked around, made a look of being afraid that someone would see it, and said to everyone: "This newspaper has not yet been published, and it is still the content of the next issue of the Great Song Weekly." It was my relatives who finally took it out and gave me a sneak peek. You see, as it has been said, this iron birch is twice as hard as steel. It is one of the hardest woods in the world, and it is produced in remote areas and in small quantities. ”

"As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive. And it is true that from a practical point of view, it is also harder than steel. Therefore, their bicycles carry more than 100 pounds of heavy loads, and it will not be damaged by sitting on several people. We use ordinary wood to imitate, can it be compared? ”

"When I look at the bicycle, it seems that some places also use 100 steel, and it seems that the cost is indeed not cheap. However, we just want to make it light for our own house, and we can transport a maximum of twenty or thirty pounds of things on weekdays. It should be possible to make one with ordinary wood and pig iron, right? Someone questioned.

"That's okay, of course, but not everyone is a carpenter. Just because you can do it doesn't mean we'll do it, and if the cost is high, we can't afford it. If it's average, we might as well go and turn into some copper coins and ask someone else to help make one. However, it is impossible for others to do day work, and they must earn a little. Just look at the pricing, geometry! ”

"It's also true, if it's only about the usual money, it's really better to ask someone to make one for you. Don't use the iron birch as a material, just use ordinary dry wood! Someone spoke up.

"I think it's okay to have ten times of money, after all, some places still need to use iron. Moreover, if it is broken, you must ask the person who built it to ensure that it is repaired. "There is also humanity.

"If it's stronger, less bad time, I'll wait for the official road on weekdays, and more than 100 miles will be idle. It's okay to use iron birch, even if it's dozens of dollars, I'll wait for it. I just don't know if the newspaper sells the bicycles to the outside world? In the crowd, several businessmen spoke differently, and for a while, people began to discuss.

It's just that the man who led the conversation at first has now disappeared, but everyone doesn't know it.

-

In the backyard of the newspaper office, the man appeared. The monster in the corner screamed a few times, and the backyard side door opened for him.

As soon as you enter, close the door.

Someone in the courtyard asked, "Zhang Qi, you did a good job just now." The people of the golden housekeeper are all in their eyes, you are now riding a bicycle out, find a place with more people, and lead the words out, if someone asks. You say it's a bicycle made by your relatives from the newspaper and asked your acquaintances to make more. The best iron birch material bicycle is now in urgent need of money, as long as fifty times. ”

Zhang Qi smiled: "What if it's more than fifty runs?" ”

"Ha, Steward Jin also has an explanation, that is everyone's ability. The excess amount is personal income. The people in the courtyard replied with a smile.

Zhang Qi's eyes lit up: "Second team leader, you just have to wait for my good news." Tonight, Chunfeng Building, I'm in for a treat. ”
