Chapter 368
"In addition to strollers and new carriages, there is another bicycle that has been built and is ready for sale right away. "
Fusu introduced with a smile.
Bicycles, even in later generations, were an extremely important means of transportation, let alone in Daqin.
Once listed, it can allow the daily footprints of the people of Daqin to extend from several kilometers around to dozens of kilometers away.
It is of great significance to increase the mobility of personnel and promote the further improvement of Daqin's commerce.
And militarily, bicycles also have a good role, which can greatly extend the range of infantry and carry more equipment.
Especially in the future battles of Rome and Carthage, logistics supplies could be greatly facilitated.
In Rome and Carthage, there are no such good transportation conditions as Daqin.
In later generations, the so-called roads leading to Rome were actually just a bunch of dirt roads, which were far inferior to the Qin Straight Road in the past, not to mention the cement road.
The advantages of strong passability and low road requirements can be greatly exerted on these broken roads.
"Bicycle, isn't it a car that can walk on its own?"
A hint of curiosity flashed across Ying Zheng's face.
"Specifically, Father, you will know it by looking at it!"
Fusu had a brand new bicycle pushed in.
Due to the lack of aluminum in Daqin, the bicycles made are relatively bulky, so Fusu directly uses 28-inch tires, and the whole car looks very large.
But the advantage is that it's very strong, and when you zoom in, the parts are better built.
Bells, handlebars, chains, rubber pneumatic tires, pumps, and other parts that seemed very simple to later generations all made the craftsmen of the Daqin Engineering Institute work hard.
In particular, the rubber tires and spring-loaded cushions took months to complete.
However, without these two shock absorption systems, the weight of an all-steel 28-inch bicycle is definitely much more difficult to ride than those shoddy shared bicycles in later generations.
However, although the research and development process is very difficult, the success of the bicycle manufacturing has also greatly expanded the thinking of Daqin craftsmen, and the application of chain transmission and other principles has been improved in many machinery.
"How can this thing move?"
"Can you walk on your own?"
"Or do you want to use cows and horses to pull it?"
Jiang Lu and others, who came one after another, also surrounded curiously one by one, and talked about it.
However, with their knowledge, they have been arguing for a long time, and they can't figure out a clue.
"If it is pulled by oxen and horses, it is called an ox cart and a horse-drawn cart!"
Fusu looked at Ying Zheng, who was also looking forward to it, and simply went out in person to demonstrate it for Ying Zheng and the others.
Thanks to his super high attributes, Fusu is not only infinitely powerful, but also extremely agile, so he ran in a little and soon showed his ability as a cyclist in his later life.
The courtyard of Yingzheng's huge dormitory has become the best stage for Fusu to play.
The princesses and princesses, as well as the eunuchs and palace maids, couldn't take their eyes off them one by one.
"That's amazing, isn't it?"
"Two wheels, they won't fall over, and they can still run so fast?"
"Look, above is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it must be His Highness's work!"
"It can't be an artifact brought by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the Immortal Realm, right?"
The people were dumbfounded, and they dropped their eyeballs.
"How's it going, father, this bike didn't disappoint you!"
Fusu said with a smile: "Actually, cycling is also a good way to exercise, if you have time, you can also ride a bicycle in Miyagi, you can not only relax, but also exercise." "
"Really?"
Ying Zheng's face showed a hint of emotion.
Living in the palace, in addition to being closed, another disadvantage is that it is too big.
From the imperial study to the dormitory, there is a stick of incense away, if you go out of the palace, it will take a long time. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
For decades, there are still many corners of the palace that Yingzheng has never been to.
And if there is such a bicycle, it will not take half an hour to go around the entire Miyagi at the speed of a bicycle.
It's really much faster than walking and taking a sedan chair.
"Specifically, Father, you will know if you try it!"
Fusu smiled and encouraged. []
"Then Father will give it a try!"
Ying Zheng hesitated, but still rolled up the long sleeves of the imperial robe, and with the support of Fusu, stepped onto the seat of the bicycle.
"Then, just push this pedal?"
Ying Zheng glared tentatively, always feeling a little shaky, and couldn't help but hesitate a little.
After all, this is in front of his son, daughter-in-law, and two granddaughters, and it would be too embarrassing to overturn the car.
"Yes, as long as you pedal it up, it will be stable, and my father can rest assured, how fast and fast he can ride!"
"If you want to stop, just pinch the handbrake on these two handles. "
Fusu said with a smile.
Anyone who has ever ridden a bicycle knows that it is not difficult to ride a bicycle fast, but it is really difficult to stabilize it when it is slow.
In later generations, those children who challenged the big permanent phoenix first pushed the car up, and then flew into the car, which was not inferior to the flying horse.
It's just that such a handsome action, when I first started practicing, I fell and my nose was blue and my face was swollen.
However, at present, with Fusu's reaction speed and strength, Ying Zheng can react in time even if he rides crookedly.
After a few attempts, Ying Zheng quickly mastered the trick, holding the handlebars with both hands, and then pedaling. At first, although the car was a little shaky, it quickly stabilized as Yingzheng's pace accelerated.
"Hey, this car is really interesting. "
"It's unstable when it's slow, but it's fast and it's easy to manipulate. "
Ying Zheng was surprised.
"That's the magic of technology, the faster the bike, the more stable it is, in fact, it's a bit similar to the top!"
"But this only exists on two-wheeled bicycles, and if you want to balance and be stable, add one more wheel, a three-wheeled bicycle, and it will be very stable. "
"This three-wheeled bicycle can be made into a body at the back or next to it, and it is not a problem to carry people and goods. "
Fusu said with a smile: "After the bicycle production line is completed, Erchen also plans to use these three-wheeled bicycles to form a public transportation system in Daqin, which will be more convenient for the people to travel short distances." "。
