Su Zhiyi and Su Zhiyan arrived, and Ye Shi arrived on the same boat.
This means that, first, Mao Geng's marriage will be put on the agenda, and second, the special zone can be used as a test field to implement the currency system pilot. Mao Geng said in his heart, this is all a happy event, which can be described as double happiness.
Ye Shi, Su Zhiyi and Mao Geng sat in the same carriage, while Su Zhiyan took another carriage, and there were a lot of things transported on the boat, and Zhang Haisan was responsible for taking care of them.
Ye Shi came to Taiwan on the downwind boat of the Su family, and during the days on the ship, he had already become acquainted with Su Zhiyi, and neither of them had ever been to the Special Economic Zone, but the newspapers reported on the Special Economic Zone one after another, and most of the articles published were desirable articles, giving people the impression that there was gold everywhere, and they could make money casually, so that many people crossed the sea to come to the Special Economic Zone, and many people were preparing for the New Year, so they rushed to the Special Economic Zone to catch up with the tide of wealth.
As soon as they arrived at the port, the two began to have a good impression, first of all, it was clean and tidy, and the wide and smooth cement road led directly to the city, and every qiē was completely new. Moreover, the climate here is also very good, Lin'an is already a cold winter, but it is not necessarily cold here.
When he got into the carriage and felt very different from the usual carriage, Su Zhiyi couldn't help but be curious:
"Mao Geng, how to sit in this carriage, there is no bump at all!"
Ye Shi and Mao Geng are not strictly speaking, but at this time, they also looked at Mao Geng with curious eyes, and he also felt incredible.
"Brother Su, Brother Ye, it's nothing, you see, this cement road is very smooth, plus our carriage has spring suspension, and it also uses inflated tires, so you won't feel the bumps."
"How much does this carriage cost?" , Su Zhiyi is also a rich man now, and his sister will soon become Mrs. Te, Su Zhiyi summed up in his heart, our family must have at least one such four-wheeled carriage, if Mao Geng is reluctant to send one, then let's buy one, well, it is best to have two.
Mao Geng smiled:
"This is the trial production of five new four-wheeled carriages, nothing else is a problem, but this tire is still being tested, there are still many problems with tires, some of the troubles are only afraid that they can not be solved for a while and a half, I think, at least two or three months later! At that time, the mass production of carriages, I am afraid that the price will not be low at the beginning, and 500 guan is at least. ”
"Tires? What is a tire? Will it even stump Mr. Mao! Ye Shi was a little curious about this new term.
"Brother Ye, speaking of this tire, well, let's put it this way, the previous wheels were all hard, so the ground was slightly uneven, and it was bumpy and bumpy, so it was very uncomfortable to ride, right!"
Seeing that both of them listened carefully, Mao Geng continued to popularize science:
"If the tires were soft, it would be much smoother. At the beginning, our four-wheeled carriage did not use tires, but used horsehair to wrap around the rim, which also had some effect, but after all, it was still not ideal, so I thought of the ball with Keju, the ball was not used in the cow cell (referring to the cow urine bubble), after the tiger was inflated, the ball had a good elasticity, hehe, I made this tire, on the rim, there is an outer tire and an inflated inner tube, the outer tire wraps the inner tube, a bit pregnant, right! That's why it's called tires. ”
Mao Geng paused, saw the two nod, and continued:
"Then the rim becomes more elastic and it's very comfortable to ride. It's a pity that this inflatable inner tube will leak if you are not careful, isn't this trying to figure out how to solve this problem! ”
Mao Geng said that he was inspired by the Keju ball, which was purely to let Ye Shi understand well, who in later generations would not know the principle of shock absorption of pneumatic tires! It's hard to really need to absorb nutrients from Keju sports!
Ye Shi thought about it for a while, and felt that it seemed to be the case, in the Tang Dynasty, at first, the ball was filled with manes and feathers, and then now it is better to fill it with a cow urine bubble - after blowing in and sealing the mouth, the ball jumped a notch. In this dynasty, there is no need to brag anymore, because with the pedal leather tiger, you can blow up the cow urine bubble between stepping on it.
But Ye Shi immediately thought about it, the ball is soaked in cow urine, what about the tires!
"Mao Geng, do you use cow intestines as inner tubes?"
Depend on! Ye Shi, what is this called!
"Please! Lord Ye, please don't make random associations! It's definitely not the cow intestines and horse intestines we use, what we use is completely man-made, and it has nothing to do with the intestines or anything. ”
The inner tube uses canvas dipping technology, in simple terms, it is sewn into an inner tube from canvas, then impregnated in composite glue, and then installed with a one-way valve to become an inner tube. It's just that today's inner tube can only be used improvised, and there are still many problems. Of course, from a long-term point of view, there is a lot of room for improvement in the weaving of canvas inner tubes, and there is a lot of room for improvement in the preparation of composite rubber. Mao Geng believes that the practical application of Dasong tires is worth looking forward to.
In short, at present, this kind of real tyre is far from being reliable, and it must not be put on the market lightly until the reliability is not satisfactory. Otherwise, the car will break the tires at every turn halfway, and they will all be recalled!
Ye Shi nodded and laughed at himself:
"Mr. Mao's ability is beyond the imagination of ordinary people like us, and this tire method must have its wonders. I came this time to help Mr. Mao try out the new currency on the order of the imperial court, but I didn't come to understand Mr. Mao's mysteries. ”
Mao Geng felt that there was a need for secrecy in tire technology. I believe Ye Shi will understand.
Unexpectedly, Ye Shi directly told a truth:
"Mao Geng, I heard that many people now want to infiltrate the Special Economic Zone, their purpose is nothing more than to learn one or two Mao techniques here, this matter must be guarded against!"
"Yes, I also heard that this is true, Mao Geng, you have to be careful!" , Su Zhiyi showed a very concerned expression, and sure enough, it was the eldest brother who was more protective of Mao Geng's interests. The Su family in Xinhua is also guarding against others like thieves, fearing that others will learn the technology of firing cement, and deliberately fabricate some strange formulas that do not exist zài, which makes people scratch their heads.
"It's okay! The SAR has a patent law, and everyone who works here must sign a deed of writing, and the technology must not be divulged. Unless he buys a patent license, if he dares to counterfeit, he may go bankrupt after suing the official. ”
Mao Geng's words are a little insincere, of course, the patent law and the deed also have some effect, but the Chinese people's cottage ** is strong, the cottage method is so clever, beyond anyone's imagination, to put an end to plagiarism and counterfeiting, it is obviously wishful thinking.
In the final analysis, Mao Geng is not worried about the loss and loss of ordinary technology at all, because the exhibition industry cannot rely on itself to ride the dust, especially the support of the overall industrial level, whether it is active diffusion or passive loss, it is very necessary for the diffusion and popularization of some low-end technologies. As long as you grasp the most high-end industrial technology, the most important thing is of course to strictly prevent the spread of military technology. However, the technology of making guns and cannons, even if someone understands that there is no considerable industrial capacity, it will not help, at least it is impossible to form a competitive situation with themselves.
The two of them looked at Mao Geng as if he was confident, and this patent law seemed to be so mysterious, so they didn't say much about it.
Ye Shi suddenly remembered something:
"I heard that 6 Jiuyuan is here, like a fish in water, and I heard that it seems that Zhu Xi also intends to come to the Special Administrative Region to meet with 6 Jiuyuan, I am quite looking forward to it, I don't know when Zhu Xi will come? When Zhu 6 and the two meet, there will be a wonderful debate. ”
Mao Geng said in his heart, in fact, I am also looking forward to it. However, there is one thing Ye Shi you don't know yet. A few years ago, a gossip incident was known all over the court, and you Ye Shi would not be unclear, but now, it seems that right and wrong have actually arrived in front of the gate of the Special Administrative Region this time.
Mao Geng sighed:
"Alas! Originally, Zhu Xi was scheduled to come to the Special Administrative Region a few years ago, but Yan Rui arrived in the Special Economic Zone a few days ago, and she was afraid that after she came, Zhu Xi's visit to the Special Administrative Region might have a change. ”
As soon as he heard this, Ye Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Yan Rui was originally an official prostitute, although she was both talented and beautiful, and she only had some reputation in Taizhou, but the case of Zhu Xi's impeachment of Tang Zhongyou's corruption and weathering affected Yan Rui and made Yan Rui known to everyone in the cultural circles of the Great Song Dynasty. Later, Yue Fei's son Yue Lin took over the case and asked Yan Rui to compose lyrics in public, and as a result, Yan Rui made a famous "Fortune Operator":
It's not about loving the wind and dust, it seems to be mistaken by the front edge. Flowers fall and bloom from time to time, always thanks to the monarch of the East.
If you go, you must go, and you must live how you live! If the head is full of mountain flowers, don't ask where the slave returns.
Yue Lin therefore ordered Yan Rui to be released and allowed to be good, but he did not know what to do from then on.
Unexpectedly, but she came to the Special Administrative Region, what does she mean?
Note: 1. The first pneumatic tire was the Englishman Robert in 1845? Thomson Ming's. He offered to inflate the elastic bladder with compressed air to soften the impact during movement, and although Robert's tires were made of leather and rubberized canvas, such tires had shown the advantage of low rolling resistance. Thomson also obtained a patent from the British government on the title "Wheel Improvement of Horse-drawn Carriages and Other Vehicles". On December 1o of the same year, the first pneumatic tyre was born, and the first person to buy an inflatable tyre was a nobleman named Luo Li, and the total price of the four tyres was forty-four pounds and two shillings, (at that time, one pound could be exchanged for three taels of silver, and the British GDP was only more than 1ooo pounds at that time.) )
2. In 1868, the American Charles? Although Mr. Goodyear obtained a patent for the method of vulcanizing rubber in the open of 1esgoodyear, which enabled rubber to be used in tires, he did not get rich, and today's Goodyear Tire Company named GoodYear in his honor.
3. In 1886, Dunlop produced the world's first inflatable rubber inner tube.
