Chapter 34: Bicycle Rides
According to Tan Feng's design drawings, simple machines were manufactured and finally spliced together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info then becomes a somewhat complicated-looking machine, and finally smiles.
"The bicycle has finally been made. With this bicycle, we can not only maximize the use of human resources, but also get more powerful capacity and more powerful mobility! Tan Feng thought.
As a cavalryman, Tan Feng naturally knows the biggest characteristics of cavalry, which is nothing more than speed and impact. Tan Feng knew even more that the infantry in later generations did not march on foot, and the infantry in later generations marched motorized and marched by car. This can ensure that the soldier saves physical strength and ensures combat effectiveness.
However, the soldiers of this era relied on marching on foot, which required greater physical exertion, especially after a rapid march. But with this bicycle, it is different, and the bicycle is what later generations called bicycles and bicycles. This kind of thing has been trained for a certain amount of time and can travel at about twenty kilometers per hour. Twenty kilometers is already four or five times the speed of a foot march. Even this bicycle has a lot of uses, after various transformations, after being transformed into a tricycle, it can allow a person with good physical strength to pull five hundred pounds of goods!
In general, in this era, in addition to cavalry, bicycles could be used to equip soldiers. Although it may not be as powerful as cavalry, as an infantryman, it is an increase in mobility and can be used as a vehicle for transporting goods. Of course, he also has the advantage that he doesn't have to give them food supplies, which is much better than war horses. Bicycle is enough to become an important source of mobility for their future soldiers, so that ordinary infantry can ride bicycle out to fight, and the mobility is very good.
"Commander, what is this?" Wang Jingwen asked.
"This is a bicycle, a car that can be pedaled with both feet forever, do you want to be a fact?" Tan Feng said.
Wang Jingwen hurriedly got on the bicycle, but just took the first step, she immediately fell.
"Hahahaha......" Tan Feng laughed undisciplinedly.
Wang Jingwen's face turned red and said, "Commander, you don't say it, how to use this thing?" ”
"You didn't ask me!" Tan Feng replied.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Wang Jingwen said firmly.
Tan Feng laughed and said, "It's all my fault, well, it's all my fault!" Who made you a woman, women are born with the power to mess around! ”
Anyway, both of them are men and women who "know the roots", so Tan Feng naturally won't blame anything. Tan Feng then hugged this Wang Jingwen to the front of the bicycle, and then held the handlebar behind and began to ride forward.
Tan Feng's riding speed is not fast, it is still relatively slow. However, it also reached about 20 kilometers, which of course cannot be compared to those who race. Wang Jingwen felt very happy, lying in Tan Feng's arms, feeling warm. Then I watched the bicycle carry me forward, and I felt how wonderful it would be if I could live this kind of life forever! Wang Jingwen is a girl after all, even if she was trained by Tan Feng to become a female knight and a female cavalry commander, she is still a woman.
Wang Jingwen was really intoxicated by this feeling and was very happy. However, Tan Feng soon stopped, allowing Wang Jingwen to finally wake up from her intoxication.
"It's a pity that this bike doesn't have gears and chains, otherwise it would have been better." Tan Feng said with a wry smile.
This bike is actually quite primitive and does not have corresponding gears and chains. Even many of the builds are made of permanent wood, not metal. This is especially true for the transmission system, which uses belts instead of gears and chains. At present, Tan Feng's metallurgical capacity is still very poor, and without sufficient metallurgical capacity, it is naturally impossible to produce metal gears and chains. However, he used traditional leashes, which are lacking in many things in the Mongolian steppe, but animal skins are not. In this way, the use of belt transmission is a method that cannot be used for the time being.
"Commander, this is a good thing! If you have this thing, the infantry can also gain quick mobility, and then you can make a detour to the rear to carry out a sneak attack on the enemy! Wang Jingwen said.
Wang Jingwen quickly understood the benefits of this bicycle, because even if the average army marched quickly, the speed may not be inferior to the speed of this bicycle. However, the rapid march of the troops is not without a price, and the physical consumption is very large, and once the physical strength decreases after arriving on the battlefield, the effect is a side effect.
This bike is different, this bike is a very useful thing. Not only can you ride a bicycle directly, but you can also carry things. Not to mention anything else, just look at Tan Feng riding a bicycle with a person of more than 100 pounds, but his speed has hardly been affected, and his physical strength has not been consumed much. For a soldier who has trained in the army, maybe riding a bicycle with a woman of more than 100 pounds is nothing. It can be seen that if a man rides a bicycle with more than 100 catties of goods, it will not take too much physical effort, and it will not even affect the battle after arriving at the destination.
If this is the case, not only will the mobility of the troops be much stronger, but the transportation capacity will also be much stronger. As a female knight, Wang Jingwen is naturally very sensitive to mobility. Doesn't cavalry live on mobility?
This bicycle not only saves the soldier's physical strength, but also allows the soldier to carry more supplies and carry more weapons and equipment, which is amazing. In the past, soldiers put all the supplies on their bodies, which was not only inefficient but also physically demanding. Putting it on the bicycle in this way not only saves physical strength, but also speeds up the speed, which has amazing benefits for combat.
"Of course, we've got a lot of things to come. This bicycle, I plan to equip our infantry and logistics troops next. It was necessary for the soldiers to learn this method of biking as soon as possible, so that the infantry who were not suitable for riding horses could have enough mobility. Of course, you can add two small wheels next to the bike to get them used to it as soon as possible. Tan Feng said.
Tan Feng knew that this bicycle was a huge invention, a very important invention. Bicycle is also a very important thing for war, especially in the period of cold weapon war, which is a super bug. The bicycle allows the infantry to maneuver for a long time at a speed comparable to that of the cavalry, especially the longer the marching speed, the more beneficial the bicycle is compared to the cavalry.
Bicycle carts do not need to eat food supplies like war horses, as long as the physical exertion of soldiers is satisfied. The benefits are staggering.
