Chapter 314: The Dog Rides the Rabbit

"Are you Zhang Chu?" Sun Yuanhua really didn't believe his ears a little, this Zhang Chu was the leader of a thief, and he was also Jin's cavalry after the defeat of the Jingshi, and he could be called a legend after doing these few things alone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Later, Zhang Chu rebelled again, and many courtiers also regretted that the court had lost a warlike general.

I didn't expect him to personally go to the prison of the Zhenfu Division to pick himself up, which is really bold. He can kill the enemy on the battlefield, he is bold, and he can build castles, and it is said that many novelties in the security army were designed by him, and he is still so young, such a person stands in front of him but does not recognize it, and he is called clumsy.

"I'm Zhang Chu, if it's fake, Mr. is interested in the construction of the fortress?" Zhang Chu looked at the drawings of the fortress drawn on Sun Yuanhua's table and asked.

"Yes, it's just that there are a lot of puzzles in it, so I wanted to ask you. I know this involves military secrets, but it's too important for Daming. If such a strong city can be built outside the gate, then there will be no worries after the defense. Sun Yuanhua was thinking about how to keep the Ming Dynasty.

"It's easy, I'll show you around in a moment, and you'll see a lot of new things. But there is one thing I want to tell you, when people are the most important, the Liaodong children you recruit must be brave, your newly cast artillery and new firearms are very sharp, but these have become things that endanger the Ming Dynasty, and good weapons depend on who is in the hands of whom. Zhang Chu also sighed a lot about Sun Yuanhua's experience, Sun Yuanhua made a lot of efforts to strengthen the force of the Ming Dynasty, but in the end he fell into improper employment. This is how the evolution of the Chinese military has been interrupted. The reason why Zhang Chu made so much effort to snatch Sun Yuanhua back from Beijing was that he valued his contribution to the reform of the Ming Dynasty's army, and did not want this pioneer of the modernization of the Chinese army to be beheaded in the scolding.

Zhang Chu gave the order to the guards to go down and prepare. While waiting, Zhang Chu and Sun Yuanhua chatted in the house.

"Sir, is there still a question of whether my god will lift or not?" Zhang Chu wanted to see what a smart person like Sun Yuanhua thought about this problem.

"I've thought about it, there's something like sophistry in this question, and although I haven't fully figured it out, it doesn't prove that my beliefs are wrong." Sun Yuanhua has really thought about these issues these days, although he has a little understanding, but he still doesn't understand it very well.

There is a sense of sophistry here, but it also illustrates the problem that you can't be too absolute about anything. Lao Tzu said: 'The Tao can be very Tao, and the name can be very famous', which contains a profound philosophy, and what is said to be the only master of all things must not be self-justifying. Faith should be something that is inclusive, something that is constantly felt with the heart. The God in everyone's heart is different, and at the same time, it cannot be fully expressed to outsiders. Our ancestors had many advanced ideas, only to be interpreted crookedly. Zhang Chu hoped that his words could have some influence on Sun Yuanhua.

"The things of our ancestors are really good, but they can't solve the current problems, many countries outside China have surpassed us, and we will fall behind if we don't change." Sun Yuanhua was the first person to open his eyes to see the world, and he was also a person who could keenly feel that the Ming Dynasty was heading for decline.

"Our change does not mean abandoning Chinese traditions, and we absorbing foreign things does not mean accepting them in their entirety. Today I will show you that there can be the most advanced things in the world on Chinese soil. Zhang Chu decided to speak with facts. The change of belief of Sun Yuanhua and others was mostly attracted by the advanced technology imported from abroad, and Zhang Chu wanted Sun Yuanhua to see more advanced technology.

At this time, the guards were ready to stop, and even Guo Xiyuan rushed over.

After Zhang Chu introduced Guo Xiyuan and Sun Yuanhua to each other, he solemnly explained to Guo Xiyuan: "Mr. Sun is our honored guest, and now his identity cannot be disclosed to the public for the time being, so we must protect Mr. Sun and his family." ”

"Please rest assured, we will do our best in safety and security." Guo Xiyuan attached great importance to Zhang Chu's instructions and made a guarantee in person.

In order to take care of Sun Yuanhua's trip, Zhang Chu specially ordered someone to prepare a carriage. As soon as he went out, Sun Yuanhua was attracted by the carriage in front of him, which was a four-wheeled carriage, which was completely different from the traditional Chinese two-wheeled carriage. The body is even larger, with four huge wheels supporting the tall body, making the car look very imposing.

"You made it too." Sun Yuanhua had heard that Zhang Chu had made many novel things, and thought that he must be the only one who could build such a huge carriage.

"I designed it, and the manufacturing depends on the superb skills of the workers, Mr. Sun got in the car and let's experience the feeling of riding in this car." Zhang Chu invited Sun Yuanhua into the carriage.

The four-wheeled carriage has obvious advantages over the two-wheeled vehicle in terms of size and load capacity, but China's poor roads limit its development, as for the front wheel steering or something, it is not a problem, Zhang Chu laid down Zhongyang and arranged craftsmen to solve this problem according to his impression, and then the shock absorption of the vehicle took a long time. Since there is no rubber, wooden wheels can only be used, and the hard wooden wheels are constantly bumpy on the road, making both two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles difficult for those who ride in the car. Zhang Chu had a flash of inspiration at this time, and the simple shock absorption system of the diesel tricycle that ran all over the street in later generations inspired him, and people called that kind of tricycle "three jumpers", and also had a nickname called "dog riding rabbit", in order to describe its fast running. It is very simple to make, the rear compartment is a suspension system formed by spring steel plates on the axle, which is simple but effective.

Their workmanship is very rudimentary, and the entire system is exposed, and Zhang Chu was very impressed by the fact that he often watched them fly past him when he was young in his previous life, and only later was replaced by various cars.

However, it is not so easy for such a simple system to be copied to the Ming Dynasty. The craftsmen quickly made a prototype car according to Zhang Chu's drawings, and it looked good, but it didn't run two laps to climb the nest, because the quality of the steel was not up to par, and the spring steel plate was bent. Zhang Chu was not discouraged, because he knew that this was the right direction.

On the one hand, Zhang Chu was looking for a steel mill to improve the quality of steel, and on the other hand, he continued to support the workers to carry out tests, and there was no way to make accurate calculations. Fortunately, the quality of the steel produced by the steel mill is getting better and better, and the spring steel plate can be made thinner. The new damping system passed the test and new four-wheeled carriages were produced, which quickly became popular with their comfort and cargo capacity.

Zhang Chu found that he had solved an important problem in the development of the vehicle, and he was only one engine away from being able to produce a "dog riding a rabbit".

"If I had an engine, I could produce thousands of 'Dogs and Rabbits', and then put machine guns on them, so that the invincible Houjin cavalry could learn the power of modernization." Imagining the scene of thousands of "dogs riding rabbits" and grazing the grassland with machine guns, Zhang Chu couldn't help but laugh evilly. (To be continued.) )
