In the next few days, the nine guards of the Forbidden Army went crazy.
They had just come into contact with polo, football and rugby, and they began to fight in separate teams in their own army.
It is impossible for money to please everyone, so it is absolutely impossible for one person to be liked by everyone.
Similarly, a game cannot be liked by everyone.
Even in the military, it is impossible for everyone to like rough and direct rugby.
Many sergeants like elegant polo balls that can display equestrian skills.
There are also many sergeants who prefer football that is more technical.
However, these three are almost men¡¯s favorite sports and have satisfied most of the Forbidden Army soldiers.
Even the Xiuyi Guards, who have always been on the edge of the Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army, have formed more than a dozen teams in the past few days, sharpening their swords and training hard.
For a time, the military camps inside and outside the Imperial City were filled with scenes of people lying on their backs.
Even if we are all members of the same army, there is still competition between each other. Everyone wants their hilltop to win the greatest victory and receive the highest attention.
It is said that the leaders of the Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army secretly encouraged their own people to win first place in the competition and add glory to their own army.
Therefore, the internal selection alone is very fierce, and a player has to be promoted at every turn, but it does not reduce everyone's enthusiasm at all.
They are like giving chicken blood, so the Legalist students will have a hard time.
Not only the twenty or so Legalist students who came that day were rushed to be hired by the Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army, but also some Legalist students who did not go that day were robbed.
Many people were holding a printed copy of the rules written by Liu Mingqi on their way to the competition venue. They saw that it was entirely a matter of sharpening their skills before the battle. Naturally, they would not be able to enforce the law any better if they went there.
The players were novices and the referees were also novices, so a lot of jokes were made.
After just a few days of running in, both the forbidden soldiers and the legal students who serve as referees have a deeper and deeper understanding of the rules.
As a result, the popularity of the game has also greatly increased, and more and more Imperial Guards have begun to watch, and even strongly requested that they join in.
If the Legalist students hadn't firmly opposed playing games at night to avoid sudden death, they would really have wanted to play two games at night.
The Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army are in the Gyeonggi area, and their movements have naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Emperor Jinghe himself felt strange.
After he personally watched the three types of games, he went back to think about them and found them quite interesting. He even took the time to watch another football match the next day.
Even the emperor is like this, not to mention the officials, nobles and clan members.
Their identities ensured that they could enter the Forbidden Army camp.
Generally speaking, the civil servants are not very interested. After watching it a few times, many of them stopped coming.
But the clan members are different from the nobles. They have nothing to do.
Seeing such an interesting competition, they wished they could participate.
Of course, the Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army said that we are not willing to take you to play together, because not only are you physically garbage, but you also dare not take any serious action against you. Such a competition is meaningless.
The only one who was not trash was Prince Yi Liu Mingjing, but he was rejected on the grounds of ¡°destroying the balance of the field.¡±
What a joke!
An animal like Xiong Dabao is already unstoppable in a rugby match. If you add Liu Mingjing, who is even stronger than Xiong Dabao, what are you going to do?
Liu Mingjing was very dissatisfied with this and ran to Liu Mingqi's house to complain.
When he saw Liu Mingqi, he found that Liu Mingqi was tinkering with the carriage wheels.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Liu Mingjing asked in surprise.
"We're going to the Gate of Hell soon. We have to ride a carriage on the way. I'll see if I can make the carriage more comfortable to avoid getting my butt in trouble." The young man said calmly.
"Tch, apart from the waterway, there is only twenty miles of land. Wouldn't it be better to ride a horse?" Liu Mingjing smiled after finishing speaking, "By the way, I forgot that you don't often ride a horse, and it will hurt even if you ride a horse. .¡±
???For people who often ride horses, the inner thighs must have been worn out and worn out again, and a layer of calluses will form in the long run, so that there will be no pain when riding horses for a long time.
¡°A prince like Liu Mingqi will naturally not work so hard, so riding horses for a long time is even more difficult for him.?, thus making it an indispensable tool in industrial production.
The surge in demand for hevea trees has also made Brazil and Peru rich.
In addition to naturally growing ones, there are also artificially planted ones, which still require the same living environment and can only be planted in similar areas.
Until Liu Mingqi crossed over, the two countries were still making a lot of money from rubber trees, which can be said to be uniquely endowed.
Back to the topic.
Hevea trees need a high-humidity environment, abundant and even rainfall, and sufficient sunlight. The Amazon rainforest is the most suitable, but many places in Southeast Asia are also good.
For example, Malaysia, after the hevea trees were transported from Brazil in the 18th century, they quickly began to plant and develop them, and even became a new rubber kingdom.
The problem is that Liu Mingqi can¡¯t even go to sea now. Even if there are hevea trees in Malaysia, he can¡¯t get them.
The most likely possibility is that there are currently no hevea trees in Malaysia - the hevea trees were imported from Brazil because the Empire wanted to expand new rubber plantation bases. Here comes the hevea tree.
Are ordinary people so idiotic that instead of bringing back some gold, silver and jewelry from thousands of miles away, they pull dozens of trees?
That¡¯s why you¡¯re crazy!
"If the sun never sets and there are colonies all over the world, and there are colonies all over the world, and Malaysia happens to be similar to the Brazilian rainforest, they wouldn't be so laborious and mobilized.
Therefore, Liu Mingqi had to find another way to improve the suspension system of the carriage.
He first used bamboo slices soaked in tung oil and embedded them on the surface of the wheel.
The effect is pretty good for a while, but if it is driven for more than a few hundred meters, gravity and friction will cause the bamboo pieces to deform and break, and it will be completely destroyed.
As a Ph.D. in physics, Liu Mingqi is certainly not so naive that bamboo chips can replace rubber. That is simply a humiliation to tens of thousands of scientists who are actively looking for rubber substitutes.
The young man just thought that if it could be used for ten or twenty kilometers before it broke down, or three to five kilometers, it would be just fine, and he would just have to replace it with new ones when the time comes.
But under experimental conditions, it broke after a few hundred meters.
This is still a road in the capital city. If it were replaced by an ordinary road in the state capital, wouldn't it be unable to support dozens of meters?
So the second time, Liu Mingqi replaced it with beef tendon that was repeatedly soaked in rosin and tung oil and dried in the sun several times.
The above two are actually the methods of making bows and arrows.
In ancient times, these two were the most resilient and practical crafts.
The result is that the bow is not good, and the arrow is definitely not good either.
The beef tendons were skillfully sewn on the outer circle of the wheel, but it still couldn't resist the tossing and bumps along the way.
The dirt ground in the village can still support a few hundred meters, but if you run on the straight road outside the city, it will be crushed in minutes.
With no other option, Liu Mingqi could only see if he could increase the force-bearing area by increasing the width of the wheels, while trying to keep the two axles as stable as possible so that the carriage would not bump.
Another way is to improve the operating mode of the bearing to make it more lubricated and smooth, just like the power output of a car's engine. This will also help the carriage's driving stability.
Although he has failed many times before, the young man is not discouraged at all, but is still very positive.
As a doctoral student in physics and chemistry, isn¡¯t it normal to do thousands of failed experiments?
¡¡
Note: Rubber is indispensable for industrial development. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, it was not until the 1870s that the British consciously transplanted rubber from South America to Asia.
If there were such gods in the ancient Indochina Peninsula, I believe that not only would Indochina become our sacred and inviolable territory, but our expansion would never stop because of the Western Regions and grasslands.
However, a reader told me about Eucommia gum, which I can learn to use. Thank you~~ (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
