Chapter 70: The Roller

On the first day he walked into Wuyun City, Lan Lingping personally took him to see this phantom stone forest, and indeed as the legend says, except for its ability to change color and be extremely heavy, it is almost no different from ordinary rocks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In this case, why would Che Zhenshan threaten the lives of the people of Baimu City at this time in exchange for a few phantom stones of little significance?

After pondering for a moment, Lin Kong felt that these phantom stones must have secrets that he didn't know, so he hesitated a little in front of the camp of the burning city, and quickly returned to Wuyun City with Ada and the others.

As soon as Lin Kong and the others walked out of Yangliu Town, the cry of burning the city and killing pigs disappeared, and immediately after, the sound of discussion between him and several henchmen came from the tent.

"Strange! Could it be that Che Zhenshan also knows the secret of the Phantom Stone, this shouldn't be! ”

"Is the prince suspecting that what Che Zhenshan has done over the years has been secretly instructed by the immortals?"

"Hmmm! This possibility cannot be ruled out. ”

"Think about it! Ten years ago, Che Zhenshan was just a small lieutenant, what did he use to negotiate with the Red Flame Country? ”

"Well, this is indeed very suspicious, if there is no secret help from the monks, with the temperament of Chihong Lao'er, it is estimated that he will not even look at him Che Zhenshan."

“……”

Chi Hong is the king of the Red Flame Realm, this person has traveled around for a while, and then he claims to have traveled all over the Lingyun Continent, and he is proud of it.

In essence, the places where Chi Hong has been are only some uninhabited areas in the eastern part of the Lingyun Continent, such as the Red Wind Desert, the Heavenly Fall Prairie, the Burial Immortal Lake, and so on.

Even the most famous Wild Forest and the White Cloud Sea, Chi Hong has never been there, because except for monks, if a mortal breaks into these two places alone, there is a chance that there will be no return.

As the king of a country, of course Chihong would not risk his life like this, but places like the Red Wind Desert and the Heavenly Fall Prairie are not places that anyone can go to if they want to.

Although there are no haunting pirates or legendary monsters comparable to monks, their harsh climate and hidden murderous motives are just as prohibitive.

Chi Hong dared to go to such a dangerous place alone and successfully returned to the Red Flame Country alive, which is indeed worthy of his remark, and it also shows that Chi Hong is a king with both courage and intelligence.

With such a person, no matter how insidious and cunning Che Zhenshan is, if he does not have a powerful force to rely on, Chihong will never pay attention to him, let alone form a private alliance with him.

On the side of Yangliu Town, Burning City and several of his henchmen were analyzing and discussing in the camp, and Lin Kong, who returned to Wuyun City, also gathered Lanling and others together, and the results of the discussion were basically the same as those of Burning City and others.

It's just that Lin Kong and the others are even more convinced that the monk behind Che Zhenshan, Bacheng, is a black shadow that appears on the battlefield.

Because the phantom stone has been placed in the palace for a long time, Lan Lingping, the former king, didn't know what secrets it had, so after a discussion, he decided to hand over the phantom stone to Che Zhenshan first, and wait for the people of Li who rescued Bai Mucheng.

There are more than twenty phantom stones collected by Lan Lingguo, the small ones are only the size of eggs, and the weight is about the same as that of an adult, so it is easy to transport.

But the largest piece is the size of a dustpan and weighs thousands of catties, and if you want to transport it to Bai Mucheng, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Because the most advanced means of transportation on the Lingyun Continent is the carriage now, it is not difficult to carry the phantom stone into the carriage, and it is not a problem to pull it, if a horse is not good, it will be ten, or twenty.

But the key is that the road from Wuyun City to Bai Mu City is full of uneven dirt roads, carrying such heavy things on the road, I am afraid that the wheels will fall into mud puddles if you can't go far, and even the road surface will collapse.

"Lord, what do you think? The carriage could have made the craftsman stronger, but it couldn't be repaired! Why don't you try it in your bag and see if you can fit these phantom stones? Lan Lingping gave Lin Kong an idea.

However, Lin Kong shook his head and said, "No need, I've tried it a long time ago, this thing can't be put into the Qiankun bag at all, it seems that I have to find a way on the road." ”

"It's not my lord, no matter how strong the carriage is, but the wheels get stuck in the mud, it will delay time!"

"Yes! Che Zhenshan only gave them half a month, if they couldn't reach Bai Mucheng in half a month, he would kill a hundred people every day, if the carriage broke down on the road...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”

“……”

Everyone was talking, all of them were troubled by the bad traffic roads, Lin Kong closed his eyes and pondered, recalling the pictures he saw in the Tianxin Bead, and finally had an idea.

"Needless to say, you go and call me all the craftsmen at once." After speaking, Lin Kong asked people to find pen and ink, and drew the drawings in public.

After a while, a roller shaped like a stone mill appeared on the brown paper, and when the craftsmen were called into the hall, Lin Kong had just finished drawing, and took the drawings to explain to the craftsmen in detail.

But as soon as he was halfway through his speech, a craftsman frowned and asked, "Lord, forgive the villain's courage, may I ask what this is?" ”

"Oh, it's called a roller, and it's the stone grinder you use to press the road, and if you build it as soon as possible, you can have the horse pull it in front to level the road, and the carriage with the phantom stone behind it won't break down."

"Oh...... I see! I'll just say, no matter how you look at it, this thing feels like a stone mill, it turns out to be a stone mill! ”

"Hehe, it's right to say it's a stone mill, but the stone grinder doesn't work like it, you'll know when you make it ready." After speaking, Lin Kong handed over the drawings to the craftsman, and took Lan Lingping and others to observe the scene in person.

In fact, the principle of this roller designed by Lin Li is very simple, and the appearance looks no different from the stone roller, but the central column and the roller are fixed, and a movable gear is designed at both ends, and the roller is also changed from the traditional stone to a cylinder made of thick iron sheet, which is much lighter and more flexible.

When the mill was ready, some people took it to the outside of the city, and when it was pulled by a few horses, the tin tube rolled with a bang, and it looked more flexible than a stone mill.

But after the experiment, everyone's problem came, because the road mill invented by Lin Kong was too light, and after running back and forth on the road for a few laps, it had no effect at all.

"Ahem! Lord, is there something wrong with this thing? Qin Gao personally led the horse and ran around twice and asked euphemistically.

Lin Kong smiled and nodded, and asked Ada to put the smallest phantom stone into the iron roller, and said to Qin Gao, "You can try it again." ”

Qin Gao looked at Lin Kong suspiciously, thinking to himself that since he added a phantom stone to the iron cylinder as a weight, what was the difference between it and an ordinary stone mill, wasn't this a repeated move?

Qin Gao thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it directly, because he felt that with Lin Kong's wisdom, he would never do such a thing, but he was just a little puzzled by the addition of phantom stones to the iron cylinder.

The site for testing the "road roller" this time is located next to the moat, because as soon as you leave the city, there are dirt roads, and only the roads in the city are paved with stone slabs, so you can immediately witness the effect by pulling the iron cylinder and running two laps outside the city.

The weight of the smallest phantom stone plus the iron cylinder is about the same as a small stone mill, Qin Gao led the horse around, and did not find anything peculiar, but after putting in a few more phantom stones, the effect came out all of a sudden.

The general road is about three feet long, about two and a half feet thick, and weighs five or six hundred catties, and it is not very difficult for a horse to pull a horse, but the effect of pressing on the ground is very limited.

In addition to the trouble of building a stone mill, the horses are also very laborious, and once they encounter loose soil, the stone cannot be taken out.

The "road roller" designed by Lin Kong is different, if you encounter a loose soil road, you can take out the phantom stone piece by piece, easily pull up the iron cylinder, and then press it after filling it with soil until the road surface is compacted.

The most amazing thing is that although it is also very heavy after loading the phantom stone, because the phantom stone is mostly round, the iron cylinder rolls, and the phantom stone in it also rolls, which greatly reduces the load.

Qin Gao led the horse very slowly, turning back as he walked forward, only to see that every time the iron cylinder rolled around, the road behind it was as smooth as a tabletop, and suddenly his whole face burst into laughter. [To be continued]
