Chapter 200: Idleness

On this day, Lin Bei did not leave, but joined the research with the craftsmen.

Lin Bei doesn't know anything about how to make a carriage or how to make the parts of a carriage, but he comes from modern times, and can be said to be standing on the shoulders of great men.

The first is the steering wheel, Lin Bei found that these craftsmen didn't seem to take this problem into account, or because the steam carriage didn't run at all and didn't need to turn, so he subconsciously ignored it, but Lin Bei didn't make this mistake and brought it up directly.

Then there are the wheels, the wheels used in the steam carriage are the same as the wheels of ordinary carriages, they are all wooden wheels, this kind of wheels are very strong and limited in Lin Bei's opinion, and it is impossible to withstand the speed of more than forty or fifty miles per hour, because he has a deep understanding of the roads of this era, and when running at this speed, even if it is a small pit, the wheels will break.

In addition, Lin Bei also asked the craftsman to disassemble the carriage, first look at the structure inside, and finally Lin Bei thought of a way to increase the power of the carriage, this method is to use gears, using a large number of gears.

As we all know, the gear can be transmitted through guò and other toothed parts, so that some devices that need to be started with great force can be changed, the gear seems inconspicuous, but even in modern times it is widely used, it is not outdated at all, multiple gears are connected to each other, as long as the rotation frequency is calculated, you can completely do without the trigger that the person shook just now, in Lin Bei's opinion, the way of hand shaking is too stupid.

In this era, there are actually tools that use gears, just like a rollover, the bearing on the overturned car is connected to the gear, but the gears are not used much. Lin Bei's reminder made the craftsmen suddenly realize.

In order to give the craftsman a more intuitive impression, Lin Bei also gave an example, using a bicycle.

Bicycles are the least power-free means of traveling, and they're fairly simple, even without iron. As long as wood and some belts can be made, after Lin Bei talked about this bicycle, with the current level of craftsmen, he can construct the shape and ability of the bicycle in his mind almost instantly.

"My lord, this bicycle is not bad, although it can only be ridden by one person, if you can do the kind of journey that adults say, you must be able to run dozens of miles in half an hour."

"It should be possible, and the road requirements are low." Another craftsman also said.

"Then if you don't think it's sure to be a carriage. Make the bike first and practice your hands. Lin Bei then said, craftsmen are not like him, they have the vision of later generations, so it is also a good way to make progress step by step, first make bicycles and then make carriages, accumulate experience and broaden their horizons.

"Okay, then I'll try this bike later."

Seeing that the craftsmen were eager to try, Lin Bei finally reminded: "The bicycle is just for you to practice." The steam carriage is the most important, in addition. How to improve this steam installation is also the most important, don't put the cart before the horse. ”

Seeing that it was almost dark, Lin Bei left with An Zhongzhi.

An Zhongzhi listened to it for a day on the side, and also worked as a translator with Lin Bei for a day, and looked at Lin Bei with a worshipful gaze at this time: "My lord, you really know everything." Even those craftsmen can't compare to you, if adults can be craftsmen, I'm afraid they will be divine craftsmen. ”

Lin Bei smiled: "I just know, but I can't do it if I want to do it myself, just like that Zhao Kuo." It's just talk on paper, the craftsmen are the most important, they are talents. ”

"Can Zhao Kuoyan compare with adults?" An Zhongzhi disagreed, just a rhetorical person.

Lin Bei didn't speak, nor did he feel proud, what he said just now was all sincere.

"My lord, shall we go eat something else today?" An Zhongzhi suddenly mentioned yì.

Lin Bei's food has hardly changed, most of them are grilled food, An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji have accompanied Lin Bei to eat together many times, from the freshness of the roasted food to the current bland tastelessness, it is estimated that An Zhongzhi is also a little afraid of eating grilled food, this thing eats too much and gets hot.

"What to eat?" Lin Bei asked.

"There is a common man at the wharf, who used to be a guy in a wine shop in Hepu County, and recently his family has come up with a delicacy, which is made of seashells by the sea, which can be baked and boiled into soup, and many sergeants have gone to his house to eat, and it is very delicious, why don't we try it?"

Lin Bei nodded.

Coming to Wanghai City, Lin Bei was too busy, so he did not study new food, but eating has always been the most important thing in people's minds, Lin Bei does not study, naturally there will be others to study, there are many delicacies in the sea such as carp across the river, with people's enthusiasm for eating in this era, it is not surprising to make a new delicacy.

This kind of thing is a good thing, there are many tools in ancient times that have been studied under the premise that people are greedy for pleasure, such as horse-drawn carriages, that is, people do not want to walk to study it, and later generations of cars, sofas, telephones, these are all based on this big premise, people want to be more convenient, and it is best to do everything well at home without moving anything.

When I came to the wharf, it was already dark, but the wharf was still bright here, in fact, not only the wharf, almost many places in Wanghai City were bright, and the use of biogas not only saved people a lot of firewood, but now it has been used as a major lighting tool.

In the past, when biogas did not appear, if it needed to be lit at night, then only torches or oil lamps could be used, which was a great burden for many poor families, which was also the reason why ancient people went to bed early, and it was a little bit to save a little, but with biogas, these burdens were gone, and a pool of biogas could fully support the fire needs of a family for several months, so that the people were generous.

Similarly, this is also a good phenomenon, when people are used to bright at night, they will be more active in researching new energy sources, such as electricity, which Lin Bei is already preparing, but Lin Bei is still a little unclear about how to generate electricity, he is still trying to recall, hoping that one day he will have a flash of inspiration and can remember.

"My lord, that's it." An Zhong pointed to a dwelling and said, there are a lot of people on the side of this dwelling, these people are sitting on the ground at will, with bowls or shelves in front of them, and there is a fire under the shelf, they are eating, looking at the number of these people, this kind of food must be more popular.

As soon as Lin Bei and An Zhong arrived, everyone sitting got up one after another and saluted Lin Bei and An Zhongzhi, with some surprise on their faces, obviously they didn't expect Lord Dragon God to come here.

"Old man Zhao, why don't you come out quickly to greet Lord Dragon God?" An Zhong shouted.

Two people hurriedly came out of the house, a man and a woman, both around forty, as if they had just been busy in the kitchen, and their bodies were full of fireworks. ”

An Zhongzhi smiled and patted the old man's shoulder: "Old man Zhao, I really called the adult, quickly take out all your good hands." ”

Lin Bei looked at An Zhongzhi speechlessly, this guy turned out to be an acquaintance with this old man Zhao, no wonder he was so attentive, is this a friendly recommendation?

Old man Zhao laughed so much that his eyes were almost gone, and he nodded hurriedly: "My lord and the pavilion chief, please wait for a while, the little old man will go to eat immediately, and the adults will be happy to eat." ”

Because Lin Bei was too big, he couldn't enter the house at all, so he found a side place to sit down, and someone brought a couch and a felt.

"What does this old man have to do with you?" Lin Bei asked with some gossip.

"My lord, didn't the Japanese soldiers invade Hepu some time ago? Zhao Gang, the eldest son of the old man Zhao, died in that battle, I have come to see him, and after coming and going, he became familiar, in addition, the second son of the Zhao family is now also in the army, named Zhao Zheng, who is brave in battle, and is now the commander of the army, and will fight with the army the day after tomorrow, so he is loyal and courageous, and let the adults come to visit, one is to eat, and the other is to encourage the families of these sergeants. ”

Lin Bei was silent for a while, then nodded: "You did a good job, but I was a little negligent and didn't think about it." ”

An Zhongzhi smiled and said: "The adults don't have to blame themselves, these are just the duties of the subordinates, and the loyal ones are now in charge of the people of the whole city, and they should rest and share the worries of the adults." ”

Lin Beixin said yes, no matter how capable he is, he really can't take care of many things, after all, he doesn't have the magic power of the doppelganger, so the superior will have so many subordinates, and these subordinates will always do those things that are inconvenient for the superior to come forward or forget, and perform their duties, so that both the country and the city can run better.

Just like Bian Ji didn't accompany Lin Bei today, it was because Bian Ji went to the homes of residents in the city to inspect the literacy situation, if anyone has doubts, Bian Ji can also explain it in person, and this kind of thing must not be Lin Bei himself.

Old man Zhao and his wife were very efficient, and the diners around them also came into the house to help, and soon moved out the things they needed.

There is also a grill for a large pot of soup, a bit like a grill for modern lamb kebabs, looking at the shells on the plate next to the grill, Lin Bei found that it was actually clams and scallops, these shellfish should have been pickled first, and Lin Bei could actually see a few verdant shallots on it.

"My lord, this is roasted." An Zhong pointed directly at the shells on the plate, and then sandwiched a few pieces on the grill, and sizzled, "This soup is full of meat, there are sea fish and shell meat, I ate it last time, it was very delicious." ”

Lin Beixin said that this is almost the same as a kebab, Lin Bei promoted the barbecue, and others improved it again, and when the electricity was made, the electric oven was estimated to come into being.

This meal Lin Bei ate quite satisfied, but An Zhongzhi was not satisfied, he patronized Lin Bei to shell the shells, and finally Lin Bei ate almost An Zhongzhi had time to drink a few mouthfuls of soup, and when he went back, An Zhongzhi complained rarely: "I will never go out to eat with adults in the future, especially eating this kind of thing."
