Zhao Chen has been working on this bicycle for a while. The wheels are already done and the body is also finished.
There is no future generation of leather, the butt area is made of better beast fur, and the hinges are made by a blacksmith.
As for the wheels, although there are no rubber tires like those of later generations, there are wheels from this era, and they are completely usable.
The history of wheels, starting from the Zhou Dynasty, there have been chariots, so wheels are naturally simple.
Zhao Chen¡¯s improvement was to add a hinge to the inner ring of the wheel and then connect it to the pedals. In this way, a simple bicycle was completed.
There are also handles and a rear seat. This is the prototype of the modern bicycle.
Seeing Zhao Chen tinkering with such a strange thing, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but laugh.
"Sir, you are wasting your efforts. We in the Tang Dynasty actually have carriages."
Zhao Chen raised his head and glanced at Cheng Yaojin: "Old Hei, do you think I don't know, but can ordinary people afford the Tang Dynasty's carriage? I invented it specifically for ordinary people."
"Yeah?"
Queen Changsun was also full of curiosity. This was the first time she saw Zhao Chen¡¯s new gadget.
Soon, Zhao Chen completed the bicycle, and even the parking pole was waiting for me.
"Okay, done."
Zhao Chen nodded with satisfaction. The entire body was made of iron, with very little wood. Now that the wheel hinges are installed, you can try riding.
Li Shimin looked at this two-wheeled car and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, this car only has two wheels. Can I ride it?"
¡°Of course you can ride it, it just requires a little skill, ordinary people can master it, and it¡¯s just because it has two wheels that it¡¯s called a bicycle.¡±
Zhao Chen smiled.
Cheng Yaojin shook his head: "I don't believe it. How can you ride with two wheels, one in front of the other? Are you bragging?"
Zhao Chen, however, supported the bicycle and stepped on the pedal with one foot. He suddenly got on the bicycle and started pedaling.
¡°Then, Cheng Yaojin, Li Shimin and others just stared at this so-called bicycle in shock, and actually started riding it!
"Oh my God!"
Cheng Yaojin couldn¡¯t help but exclaimed!
Fang Xuanling¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°Can you really ride?¡±
Queen Changsun opened her red lips. Now she finally saw Zhao Chen's whimsical thoughts.
??Can you actually ride something with two wheels?
Shocked!
Everyone present was shocked.
They watched Zhao Chen riding a bicycle in the yard, even going around in a circle, and then he stopped slowly.
¡°It¡¯s amazing, it¡¯s amazing!¡±
Li Shimin was amazed.
Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin with a smile: "Old Hei, am I bragging?"
Cheng Yaojin shook his head like a rattle: "Sir, you are so powerful."
Fang Xuanling looked at the bicycle with a look of disbelief on his face: "Sir, how on earth does this move?"
"Amazing."
Li Shimin¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Sir, you are right, this thing is very suitable for ordinary people.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, as long as the ground is flat, ordinary people can ride bicycles there, which is a lot more convenient for the people.¡±
¡°And you can also put some sundries on the back of this bicycle.¡±
Li Shimin was also eager to try: "Can I try it?"
"Okay, Lao Li, come."
Li Shimin stepped forward, grabbed the bicycle, and under Zhao Chen's guidance, successfully climbed onto the bicycle.
"Press the pedal quickly, don't go too fast, hold the front of the car with both hands and control the direction."
Li Shimin did as he was told, driving crookedly, as if he was about to fall down at any moment.
Queen Changsun¡¯s heart almost jumped out of her chest, but after a while, Li Shimin managed to ride the bicycle without leaning, and even spun around in the yard!
Li Shimin stopped with a smile on his face: "Mystical object, sir, you have invented another magical object."
Zhao Chen waved his hand: "This is nothing, and bicycles have relatively high requirements on the ground. At least the official road must be widened, and it is best to choose an asphalt road."
Cheng Yaojin also couldn't wait to step forward: "Sir, can I try it?"
Zhao Chen was happy; "Old Hei, can you do it with your size?"
"Absolutely"So. "
Cheng Yaojin came to the bicycle. According to Zhao Chen, he grabbed the handle with both hands, and then tried to step on the pedals to get on the bicycle.
The bicycle got on, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly lost control of his balance. The front of the bicycle was either to the left or to the right, as if it was teetering.
"Old Hei, why are you so stupid? Pay attention to balance, do you know balance?"
Zhao Chen shouted from the side.
Unfortunately, it didn¡¯t work. After a while, Cheng Yaojin¡¯s bicycle was tilted, clanged, and fell down.
Li Shimin was stunned.
Cheng Yaojin rubbed his back and stood up: "Sir, your bicycle is not easy to ride."
"Then how did Lao Li learn it? Do you know, Lao Hei, this can only mean one thing."
Zhao Chen patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder: "People are different and cannot be generalized."
"What's the meaning?"
Cheng Yaojin was a little confused.
"It means, Old Hei, you are really stupid."
Queen Changsun laughed.
The attention of several people returned to the bicycle.
After a short period of thinking, Fang Xuanling and the others have fully discovered the value of this bicycle.
Although there were horse-drawn carriages in the Tang Dynasty and you could rent them for long-distance travel, there was a big problem: they were too expensive and ordinary people couldn't afford them.
There were also horses in the Tang Dynasty, but they had the same problem. They were too expensive. Raising horses was also very expensive. How could ordinary people have horses?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It is good to have enough to eat, but still have money to raise horses?
But this is different with bicycles. As long as this bicycle has energy production, the price is lower, ordinary people can afford it, and it doesn¡¯t need to be as troublesome as feeding a horse. It is so easy to use, it is definitely a magical thing!
"Sir, are there any plans to promote this product nationwide?"
Li Shimin also learned the word promotion from Zhao Chen.
"That's for sure. It's best to open a bicycle shop that specializes in selling this bicycle and set it up as a nationwide chain. This is the most profitable."
Li Shimin was already thinking: "And if we want to promote it, we also need to cooperate with road construction."
"Yes, remember what I said. If you want to be rich, build roads first. Build roads to connect cities and expand transportation. Anyway, there are many benefits."
"Sir, what are you going to do with your bicycle?"
Fang Xuanling asked.
"Then I must have used it myself."
Li Shimin licked his face and came over: "Sir, what about the design drawings of this bicycle?"
Zhao Chen laughed: "Old Li, do you really want to get involved in everything?"
"That's for sure. The items Mr. brings out will cause a sensation. I will definitely participate in advance."
"It's okay, but it's a pity that you don't have any craftsmen around you. You can recruit more craftsmen later, and I will train them so that we can increase production."
Zhao Chen felt regretful. If he wanted to light up the technology tree, what he needed most were craftsmen. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
