"My lord, this bicycle is really a divine object, and after the craftsmen made it, they ran on the ring road in the middle of the city, and the speed was so fast that even the carriage could not reach it, and besides, those riders did not have to exert any effort at all, even if they rode for a day, they were only slightly tired." Bian Ji's voice was loud, obviously unusually happy.

"How many miles can you run in an hour?" Lin Bei was naturally happy, but his focus was different from Bian Ji's.

"You can run at least forty miles in an hour." Bian Ji Meimei said.

Of course, Bian Ji will think it is beautiful, the fastest speed in this era is the famous horse and good horse, generally describing the horse will soon use the adjective of traveling thousands of miles a day or traveling 800 miles a day, the day in this does not refer to a day and a night, but only refers to the day, that is, six hours, in terms of hours, a top good horse can run eighty miles per hour, but this is still an exaggeration.

Why do you say exaggerated, because the horses of this era do not nail the horseshoes, and they will be abandoned after running for a long time, so the general military horses have to rest after running for an hour or two, unless it is an urgent report of the military situation, and they are forced to do it.

Moreover, there are too few good horses that can travel thousands of miles a day, and the average military horse can run four or five hundred miles a day, which is considered very powerful.

Military horses can run four or five hundred miles, and the carriage is naturally slower, limited to the road surface, the condition of the car body, the horse's plain zhì, the carriage can travel two hundred miles a day, even if it is extremely fast, if the road is better, you can run a little more.

The bicycle can run forty miles in one hour, and two hundred and forty miles in six hours, of course, this has to do with the road surface, the condition of the body and the rider's physical quality, but a good comparison, you can find that the bicycle is indeed better than the carriage.

Bicycles have many advantages, they can be used by one person, and the road requirements are lower than those of horse-drawn carriages, which are more flexible. The most important thing is that the cost of bicycles is also lower than that of horse-drawn carriages, and in Bian Ji's view, bicycles have far exceeded the value of horse-drawn carriages.

Lin Beixin said that an hour is forty miles, then an hour is twenty miles, which is acceptable, after all, it is not a mountain bike in later generations. That kind of bicycle can travel one or two hundred miles an hour.

"Did you only run in the city? Have you run the road outside the city? Lin Bei asked again.

Bian Ji calmed down a little at this time: "I have also tried to ride a few times outside the city, although the bicycle is now made of iron, it is still easy to break." ”

"That's not good, if you can't even ride on the roads outside the city, the bicycle won't have much effect, not to mention that the bicycle can't run, then the carriage won't be able to run in the future."

"Yes." Bian Ji nodded, and said in his heart that adults are usually very good, but they are really strict in this regard. Then I thought of something: "By the way, my lord, the blind man Li asked the adult if he knew the method of filling steel?" ”

"The method of filling steel? What is it for? ”

The blind man Li Yan said, saying that using this method can make iron into steel, which is harder than hundreds of steels, adults don't know, the bicycle uses some iron gears, which are easy to wear, and those carpenters are in a hurry. Let the blacksmiths of the blind Li quickly make some good iron tools, so the blind Li thought of the adult. ”

Lin Bei shook his head decisively: "I don't know what the method of filling steel is. ”

Lin Bei is not a liar. It's that he really doesn't know, and even the word "method of filling steel" is the first time he's heard it, rather than misleading others, Lin Bei might as well be calm.

"Oh, then I'll send someone to inform the blind Lee, when the Blind Lee found me. I told him that these blacksmiths don't think about how to improve their skills all day long, but come to find adults to find that shortcut, which is really a bit annoying, if everything has to be said by adults. So what's the use of waiting for him? Bian Ji was quite angry.

Lin Bei felt that it was nothing, science was the spirit that needed to be studied, but if there was a shortcut, then it was better to take a shortcut, the blind Li Li's attitude of asking questions if he didn't understand was also good, it was much better than those who didn't know how to pretend to understand.

"Just about to go back to the City Lord's Mansion, Master, take me to see these bicycles."

"Okay sir, here, the bike is in the military treasury now."

Lin Bei paused and said in surprise: "Military Treasurer? What are you putting there for? ”

The military treasury is a place where armaments are placed, and it is an important place, and the knives, guns, sticks and other items used in the training of sergeants in peacetime need to be collected during training and handed back after training, because except for some sergeants with tasks, idle sergeants are not allowed to carry blades.

"My lord, where do you put the military treasurer?" Bian Ji was also very strange, he and An Zhongzhi both thought that this bicycle was very valuable and could be used as armament, so naturally they had to put it in the military treasury.

Lin Bei was speechless: "Naturally, it can't be used as an armament, it's something that is used every day." ”

Bicycles as armaments? Lin Bei can laugh off his big teeth, and he is not a tank.

"Oh, that's what the adults planned, but if it's for the common people's daily use, the number of bicycles made now is too small."

"How many are there?"

"Twenty."

"Why don't you make more?"

Bian Ji suddenly cried out: "My lord, I also want to make more, but there is no iron, we have used a lot of ironware from the counties of Rinan and Jiuzhen, and some of them cannot be used, and the parts on the bicycle do not look at the use of iron, but these iron parts need refined iron, and the consumption is also very large." ”

"Then I said before that I went into the mountains to look for iron ore, but you didn't want to, by the way, did you send someone to look for iron ore?"

Bian Ji was weak, and the adults only remembered this at this time, "I have already sent people, mobilized five elephant soldiers, and fifty sergeants went, and set off the day before yesterday." ”

"Oh."

Lin Bei didn't say much, and Bian Ji went to the military treasury, the military division was built in the southeast of the city, and it was also expanded on the original site of the military treasury of Lurong County.

Behind the military treasurer, there is the military tent and the school field, which is also the place where the sergeants are trained in peacetime, and now Wanghai City is under construction, there are not many sergeants, they also have to participate in the construction, only the standing army is 4,000, which can be increased or decreased at any time.

Lin Bei naturally didn't need to report, but Bian Ji needed it, and even two sergeants came up to check their clothes, and then they entered the military treasury with Lin Bei, and when they entered inside, Yu Hao had already brought people to wait. Yu Hao is the commander of the thousand, and now there is no war, so Yu Hao usually takes people to patrol the city, and more often trains sergeants.

"Adults want to look at the bike." Bian Ji said.

The heavy military treasury door was opened, and Yu Yu sent the sergeant in and moved all the bicycles out.

Lin Bei has seen too many bicycles. When I saw these bicycles, they looked pretty decent at first glance, but looking left and right, Lin Bei found that something was wrong, and after taking a closer look, Lin Bei found a problem, that is, these bicycles have handlebars but no brakes

"This one was missed without being reminded." But Lin Bei thinks about it again, there is no brake without a brake, and a bicycle is also called a bicycle. So you can use your feet as a brake, it is estimated that those riders who test ride are doing this, and now the speed is not fast, so let's make it up first, and wait for the speed to increase, people will naturally think of this problem, and now it is a trouble to bring it up.

Let the sergeants get on their bikes and take them around a few times, and these sergeants are all physically flexible. So although the bicycle has only been built for a short time, it can already be ridden very skillfully. Afterwards, Lin Bei said: "Put these twenty bicycles in the city, so that the common people can also learn to ride this thing, and strive to make it so that everyone can do it." ”

Bian Ji will use bicycles as armaments, but Lin Bei will not, this kind of commonly used thing should be ridden by everyone. Instead of being used as a strategic material in the military treasury to mold.

Bian Ji nodded reluctantly.

Lin Bei scolded with a smile: "It's just a bicycle, it's nothing at all, when you find an iron mine, you can build thousands of vehicles, and the most important thing at the moment is a steam carriage." When the steam carriage is actually built, you will know what it means to be at a gallop. ”

"The road is not good, and you can't run that speed when you build it." Bian Ji was sullen.

Now Bian Ji has realized the importance of the road, and at the same time, he is very upset about Lin Bei's foresight, no wonder the adults had to build the road when they were in Xishan Township, at that time the adults should have thought about making a steam carriage, but unfortunately Lin Bei hibernation at that time, and encountered war, which delayed a lot of time.

was said by Bian Jiyi, Lin Bei could only smile bitterly, yes, if the problem of the road is not solved, what if the train is built?

"That's why we have to step up the construction of roads."

"We're already stepping up road construction."

The problem of the road troubled Lin Bei, and at night, An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji gathered in the City Lord's Mansion, and when they were eating, they brought up the problem of the road again, and in the end, Lin Bei and the two of them did not eat well.

But as the saying goes, sometimes surprises come so suddenly, in the morning, An Zhongzhi arrived in a hurry, and told Lin Bei a good news, a craftsman came up with a way to make bicycles and carriages can be ridden outside, and made a real thing.

"Really?" Lin Bei stood up suddenly, almost knocking over the roof.

"Really, I don't dare to deceive my lords." An Zhong laughed so hard that his mouth reached his ears, "Do you remember that Li San, my lord?" ”

Lin Bei thought about it, and he seemed to have some impressions: "That tailor? ”

"Yes, that's it."

"I think I'm letting him do the skin, right?" Lin Bei was a little uncertain.

"Yes, this person must not dare to forget the instructions of Lord Jì for a moment these days, yesterday he found a craftsman, and this craftsman should also know that he is wood, and he was originally a carpenter in my township."

"What did these two guys do?"

"Your Excellency will find out if you go and see."

Lin Bei didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and hurriedly followed An Zhongzhi out of the City Lord's Mansion, but An Zhongzhi walked out of the city: "My lord, they are waiting outside the city." ”

Rushing outside the city, many craftsmen were there, An Zhong stood on tiptoe and shouted: "Wood, where is Li San?" ”

The crowd separated, and two people walked out, one was wood, and the other was a little old man, it was Li San that Lin Bei had seen that day, and then, Lin Bei's eyes fell on the wood's hand, and he didn't take his eyes off for a long time.

The wood was holding a pocket-sized carriage, if it was just like this, Lin Bei would naturally not be like this, but Lin Bei saw the wheels of the carriage, this kind of carriage wheels Lin Bei is too familiar, isn't this a tracked wheel?

"I'm going to Tamar, this is to build a tank?" Lin Bei shouted in his heart, and then said, "Bring the carriage to me and take a look." ”

Wood hurriedly held the carriage in front of Lin Bei's eyes, Lin Bei looked at it carefully, and confirmed again that this was really a tracked wheel, and he was shocked and overjoyed.

The most familiar tracked wheels are definitely the wheels of the tank, the tracked wheels have much lower requirements for the road surface than the car, do not need too good or flat roads, if the power is large, you can even climb mountains and mountains, quite convenient.

Lin Bei actually didn't think about the covered wheels, because he subconsciously believed that the tank was a relatively high-end weapon, and the technical level was much higher than that of the steam carriage, so Lin Bei didn't think about the tank at all, he didn't expect others to think of it, Lin Bei felt amazing.

"That's what you came up with?" Lin Bei looked at Mu and Li San with fierce eyes.

The wood was very honest, pointed to Li Sandao, and then pointed to the wheel of the carriage: "This strap was taken out by him, saying that it can be used on the wheel to reduce some of the impact force of the wheel, and then I thought about making the wheel so flat, after trying it once, the villain thought it was good, so he gave it up." ”

Asked the wood to take off the belt, Lin Bei put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, and asked Li San: "This belt is made of leather?" ”

"My lord, this thing is not made of leather, but made of fish fat, after soaking it in medicinal juice several times, this belt is extremely tough, not easy to tear, and very elastic, the villain watched the rider ride his own bike some time ago, and found that the parts of the bicycle are fragile, thinking that if you use this belt, the bicycle can be used for a long time, so I found this wooden brother."

"Okay, you're doing a great job." Lin Beida is overjoyed.

Otherwise, the wisdom of the people is infinite, and this kind of tracked wheel can also be studied in this era, and it is still in the case that Lin Bei has not prompted, and the span is quite large.

Then the wood demonstrated this tracked carriage again, because the carriage was small, so no steam was used, but through the demonstration of guò wood, Lin Bei and all the craftsmen knew the benefits of this kind of wheel, not to mention the stone road, if the wheel length is longer, then the ravines and small slopes can also be easily passed, but the craftsmen also found a problem, that is, this kind of tracked wheels have a disadvantage, the speed is a little slow.

"It's not slow, after using steam, it should be about thirty or forty miles in an hour, I think it's quite satisfying." Lin Bei said with a smile.

Lin Bei is not joking, how far can the infantry in this era travel in an hour? Lin Bei remembered one thing, it was Xia Houyuan's matter, it was said that this person was the best at rapid marching, he could travel 500 miles in three days, he was the fastest general in the Three Kingdoms period, he could travel 170 miles a day, 12 hours on time, 14 miles in an hour, 28 miles in an hour, and 30 miles in an hour.

An hour for the infantry to run thirty miles, it must be the speed of the soldiers, the tracked carriage can reach this speed, it is already quite fast, beyond the speed of the infantry, if the two meet, the same is a long-distance run, one side is tired half dead, the other side is equivalent to waiting for work, there is almost no suspense about the outcome of the victory.

Thinking of this, Lin Bei was even more happy, and immediately asked the craftsmen to use this kind of wheel to make carriages, now that the bicycle has been built, the craftsmen are familiar with the practice, and the steam-style carriage should also be able to be built. (To be continued......)
