“…… Unyielding, explorers set out to sea again, aboard the latest steam schooners in search of the New World, with experienced captains and skilled steam engine repairers, to prove to the world that it is possible for man to conquer the seas! ”

"The Emerald City Science and Technology Cult's second major mineral resources expedition this year has discovered a huge reserve of high-quality iron ore in the mountainous area northwest of the Emerald Forest, which is already the third high-quality iron ore deposit found in the area."

"A huge lake of viscous black oil was found in the desert of the western part of the continent, and the engineers of the Cult of Science and Technology identified the viscous substance as a fuel, and the history of this substance as a fuel has also been found in the history books, and the engineers believe that the substance can be used as a new generation of fuel for steam equipment after processing."

"It is suspected that a juvenile sky overlord appeared in the Steel Mountain Range, and a forest expedition team of the God of Science and Technology was completely wiped out, and when the rescue team arrived at the scene, they only saw the remains of the expedition members who died due to severe burns, impacts, and stampedes, as well as the scene that was seriously damaged."

After Dong Chen came back, he read the latest weekly and monthly magazines, and found that they were all "exploratory news", and there was no news at all about the development trend of science and technology, which scientific research worker had made a major breakthrough in a certain aspect of research, which scientific research worker was assassinated, and so on.

But it's normal, after all, he's only a reserve now, not yet an official member of the Cult of Science and Technology, so it's already a good thing to let him know some of the world's cutting-edge things, so that he knows more than ordinary people.

The ones he wanted to see, maybe when he became the most junior technician, should be fine.

But it's not that there is no gain, this kind of relatively real-time journal also allows him to understand the real development of the world, which is much better than those old books from a few years ago or even more than ten years ago.

And this kind of journal can be regarded as the internal news of the Cult of Science and Technology, which is closer to the highest technological level in this world.

Because the animals in this world are so violent, this world is far from being explored, and in just over 2,000 years of development, the population of this world may not exceed five million people.

You must know that when you were on Earth, after millions of years of evolution, by the time of the 8th millennium BC, there were only about 5 million people on Earth, all of which were caused by wild animals, diseases and natural disasters.

In just over 2,000 years, the people on the other side of the planet have developed from scratch to this state, and they are already the mercy of the "God of Technology", giving them smart brains and memory fragments like "Hope Light", so that they can survive and develop.

And every few decades, the two largest camps on the other side of the planet have to fight, and it is quite good to be able to develop to the current state.

Knowing that his level was too low, Dong Chen shifted his attention to the set of "Complete Book of Inventions" marked "Continuously Updating", and now it has been printed in the seventh volume, and there may be a seventieth volume in the future.

It's the same as when you scan the book, these things that only have names and introductions don't need to be watched in detail at all, just sweep them directly into the database of the Book of Heaven, and you don't even need to put them in your head, just ask the Book of Heaven if you need to.

"Have you found an invention similar to a bicycle, Tianshu?"

After Dong Chen finished flipping through the book quickly, he asked Tianshu, and Tianshu immediately gave the answer, and a hand-drawn strange "bicycle" picture appeared in front of Dong Chen's eyes.

"Sir, there is no item about bicycles found in the official transportation project, but I found this in miscellaneous, this is probably the closest thing to the invention of bicycles on the other side, from a junior technician in the imperial capital, who is also an imperial baron."

Why is it weird, why is it said to appear in "miscellaneous", Dong Chen understood when he saw that picture.

"Sure enough, many times people don't invent something to benefit mankind, it's just that they're lazy."

The same is true of the bicycle in front of him, the baron just wanted to be able to walk while sitting, which would definitely save effort, and if he was tired, he could sit and rest directly, so he invented the "bicycle".

This one of his is really called a bicycle, because it is a car that he wants to walk on his own, and the power source is still his own legs.

The bike is a bit like a regular bike on the planet, except it's wooden, and it has no handlebars, no pedals, no brakes, no chains, and no ......

It had only one wooden beam, so to speak, and two planks at each end of the beam sandwiched a wooden disc in the middle, one in front and one in the back, which were not large, and close together, just as high as the baron was sitting.

When the baron wants to move, he sits on the small saddle in the middle, and then grasps the ring in front of the saddle with both hands, and pushes forward with both feet, which plays a role in saving effort.

According to reports, there are several ways to move forward, alternately slow pedaling with two legs, alternating fast pedaling with two legs, and kicking with both legs.

It's not good to brake when braking, and the foot brake is sometimes not very effective, so it is not recommended to go downhill when playing, it is best to go down and push, and the same is true when going uphill.

Yes, his invention does have the effect of making people walk more easily, but because of various inconveniences, it is still defined as "miscellaneous", and it is quite a sand sculpture nature, and then gave 5 points.

"It's almost the same as the earth, it all started from this step, the time was more than two months ago, although there is still a way to go before the real bicycle appears, but this world is different from the earth, maybe there will be some moths."

"The Cult of Science and Technology has become the mainstream, which shows that the world attaches great importance to scientific and technological inventions, and also attaches importance to scientific research workers.

Feeling the urgency, Dong Chen didn't think about the previous step-by-step plan, and immediately went to buy the corresponding equipment and raw materials, but when he was shopping, he also encountered some problems.

There were many forks in the road to the invention and improvement of the bicycle, but in the end, it was the "modern bicycle" that stood out, so he went directly to the modern bicycle.

In this way, he is not afraid that others will get any other bicycle patents, and those inconvenient bicycles will definitely be compared to his bicycles.

Of course, the tricycle that can carry goods and people must also be built to apply for a patent, which can be an out-and-out "all-round artifact".

It is precisely because of such a large span that Dong Chen cannot buy all the parts he needs.

Although it has begun to enter the age of steam, some steel pipes, bearings, rubber products, screws and other things are not difficult to buy, and there are already many factories that can produce them, but some small parts of bicycles are not so smooth.

As something that does not exist, its production equipment naturally does not exist, and some of these small things Dong Chen can buy equipment for transformation and then produce, but some things can only be customized.

Dong Chen found that without those modern convenient production and manufacturing equipment, his hands-on ability was simply limited.

Fortunately, he was not in a primitive society, it was already a steam era that was beginning to take shape, and some things on the steam engine and steam train were quite suitable for him to use.

Coupled with the blacksmith shop where the big man learned from the iron felt, his master was also a very powerful blacksmith, so with the blessing of these things, Dong Chen's bicycle manufacturing began.
