The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Shangwen shook his head.

"It can't be made. How is it possible?" Xi Lao asked.

"It's true that it can't be made. These things need to be made of iron. The current technology for making iron is not in place. In addition, the materials and processing required for the wheels are difficult!" Shangwen said reluctantly.

"And this thing. I use it for reference. The material can't solve the problem. It's hard to make other things. It doesn't look simple. But it's more difficult to process." Shangwen poured a glass of water and said.

"En, en." Xi Lao looked at this thing and nodded.

"I want to try it. What do you think?" Xi Lao said.

"Try it?" Shang Wen asked.

"That's right." Xi Lao nodded and said.

"This thing is so good. Why not make it. Since you can't use iron, you can also use wood. And bamboo. I can do both." Xi Lao said.

"What?" Shangwen asked in disbelief.

"What's so difficult about it?" Xi Lao said proudly.

"I was a carpenter before I became a bamboo craftsman. I learned from the elders. I used to make farm tools for the farmers. I learned the bamboo craftsman later." Xi Lao said happily.

"That's fine. Take a look at this. Do you have a solution?" Shang Wen hurriedly took some other blueprints and showed them to Xi Lao.

Xi Lao looked at it in detail.His face is ugly.Then another one was changed.The frown tightened even more.Shangwen took a look.Well, it's over.

"Your drawing. It's very good. But the difficulty of processing is too great." Xi Lao put down the drawing and said.

"I think you should replace the iron ones with wooden ones," Xi Lao said.

"I think so too. But the wood is too heavy. If you put it on, the difference between the front and the back can be seen immediately. Airships are meant to fly up. Weight. Weight is very important." Shang Wen was a little annoyed.

"This, this." Xi Lao pondered.

"I'd like to use wood, too, but the overall weight is way too much. The lift will have a big impact. It's not good to control. That far. It won't work at all. If you use iron pipes. Maybe you can reduce the weight. But The wood is solid. This can’t be done.” Shang Wen said.

"This, I have a solution." Xi Lao said after listening.

"What way?" Shangwen asked as he got up.

"Empty it out or simply make it out of bamboo," Xi Lao said.

"What method is this?" Shang Wen asked.

"As long as you tell me how to do it." Xi Lao said.

"It's simple. Just make gears and chains. For the rest, it's up to you, Xilao. It's just a coincidence." Shangwen patted Xilao on the shoulder.

"Okay, what you said. You can do it. The tail rudder and so on can only be solved by you. I told you. Just hollow out the center. Make a few bamboo shoots and catch it, and it will be fine." Xi Lao said.

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange what I said, and I'll discuss it with you." Shang Wen said.Saying that, Shangwen went outside the account.

Xilao looked at the blueprint of the bicycle.Decided to research it myself.This thing should not feel difficult.I can solve it myself.So Mr. Xi came to his tent with the drawings.

Xilao's tent is filled with bamboo and wood.Xi Lao took out a piece of bamboo soaked in oil.This kind of bamboo is very tough.And the firmness is not as bad as those iron pipes.Those iron pipes are very difficult to process.And practicality is strong at all.For these reasons.Xilao is particularly fond of bamboo.

Mr. Xi picked up the strip knife and chopped it nimbly.A bamboo pole that has been punched with bamboo shoots is ready.Then connect to each other.Then continue to process according to the appearance drawn on the drawing.Soon a triangular frame for a bicycle took shape.If processing it.Definitely think this is a bike from the future.Xi Lao looked at it happily.See almost.Just keep working.

At this time, Shangwen found the carpenter one after another with the drawings.Let them process the cross rudder.But they were suddenly stumped.They say they don't build ships.It's polite.I can't wait to beat them to death with a wooden stick.It took Shangwen a long time to explain clearly.The carpenters finally agreed to find a way.For hollowing out.They also say do your best.Shangwen understands what it means to do your best.no way.These people who came to Guyang Iron Works are not very good technical backbones.Because there are still heavy production tasks over there.Manufacture of rockets and grenades.If you can't finish it, wait for your head to be beheaded.

Naofumi walked out of the carpenter's workshop helplessly.Come to the ironworks.Find Li Er.Show it to Li Er.After Li Er finished reading.The one who was in trouble directly said "This can't be done." Shangwen collapsed.

"You are an iron factory." Shang Wenli???

"Yes. I am an iron factory, but this is not a blacksmith's shop. It is only responsible for producing iron ingots." Li Er said with a twisted face.

Shangwen didn't say anything.I took the drawings directly and went to discuss with the blacksmiths.

At the blacksmith, Shang Wen spent a lot of effort to explain clearly.But the blacksmith said in embarrassment, "This thing is too difficult." No way, Shangwen had to let them figure it out.After finishing all this, Shangwen felt his mouth dry.It's really hard to explain something that is ahead of its time.Especially the quality of these practitioners.Comprehension.All are passive acceptance.rather than active exploration.If this is the case, it will be difficult for me to be literary.

Shangwen sat weakly at the gate of Daying.Look at the people and horses coming in and out.

Qin soldiers drove a group of Huns.This time, Shang Wen saw something different.These Huns had a ring on their foreheads.I don't know what word is written in the ring.But Shang Wen thought, it must not be a good word.Several of these Huns were tied together.Then he walked out of the camp like a sheep.

It seems that the last riot has touched the top.These actions must have been done as a precaution.Shangwen stood up.Silently watched the group of people leave the camp.Their direction is south.You don't have to think about it, you know what they will do.Build a road.A road of blood and tears of the Huns.Shang Wen was silent.

67 bike frame

Shangwen returned to his tent after watching the Huns leave.After returning to the tent, Shang Wen did not find Xi Lao.Look at the drawings.One copy is missing, it seems that Mr. Xi took it away.This thing has to be confirmed.This can't be missing one.Shangwen has always been very strict about protecting these confidential things.Shang Wen immediately got out of the tent and walked towards Xi Lao's tent.

At this time, Xilao is making the overall frame of the bicycle, and Xilao is doing it with gusto.While smiling cheerfully, he looked at the drawings and made them. "Boy, I'm here to scare you."

"What surprised me?" Shang Wen walked in and said.

"This, you did this." Shangwen looked at the bicycle frame on the ground in disbelief.There is basically no difference between this and the current one.It's just that the modern ones have been changed to metal or fiber, and this one is all made of bamboo.

Naofumi circled the bike frame twice.

"Oh my god, this is a bicycle." Shangwen said in disbelief.

"How is it?" Xi Lao said happily.

"This." Shang Wen said with a thumbs up.

"Oh my God." Shangwen sighed again.Workmanship is not a word that can describe it.The body is all bamboo.The beam is made of bamboo poles, and the frame is divided into two under a large bamboo.I don't know how this came out.Moreover, not a single nail was seen on it.All of them are clever buckle shoots.this thing.Shangwen only read it in books, or at the Xuankong Temple.I didn't pay attention at the time.Wait until the tour guide arrives.Shang Wen only felt it.This thing is beyond human imagination.See for yourself now.Only then did I feel.Bicycles, among the ancients, could certainly be made.This is definitely not the wisdom that ordinary people can possess. "It's amazing. It's really amazing." Shangwen praised again.

"I'll show you this." Xi Lao took a round wheel.

"This is a wheel." Shang Wen looked at the round wheel made of bamboo.In the middle of the wheel is a very finely crafted axle made of wood.Since there is no bearing, Shangwen knows that this thing is a bit big.It is filled with butter or other oils.for lubrication.This is an ancient bearing.Attached to this axle are those spokes with slender bamboo blades.I don't know how these spokes are attached.Shangwen took a closer look.God.Such a coincidence.It's just a long, thin, round hole.As long as those spokes are inserted from the long part, the thick and long part at the back will be stuck naturally.Then the spokes are twisted.This is fixed to the rim made of bamboo.Same on the other end.The second one snaps the first spoke right into place.Come down like this.The whole wheel is done.

"Wonderful, wonderful." This is really too dexterous.

"Hey, I still want to make one with a hollowed out wooden wheel. But think about it. It's too heavy. So I didn't move it. But, I can try it." Xi Lao said with some pride.

"Well, however, something should be added around the rim. Otherwise, those spokes will be damaged." Shang Wen put forward some suggestions for improvement.According to Shangwen's clear guidance, what is missing is rubber. Only with rubber can the bicycle be lighter.

"This is natural. This is natural." Xi Lao said.

"But what kind of material should be used?" Shangwen thought.

"It's better to use bamboo strips for this one. This is easy to make. Just make a slightly larger one and put it on top. Use linen, or simply use bamboo strips. Don't worry, the bamboo strips I set will definitely work." Xi Lao seemed It can be seen that Shangwen is worried.Said some of my views in advance.

"That's good, that's good." Shangwen nodded repeatedly.

"Xi Lao, you are busy first. I'll go and look at other things. But you have to keep this blueprint. Don't let others see it. This thing is our life." Shang Wen said seriously.

"Naturally understand this. People among the craftsmen naturally know. Don't worry." Xi Lao nodded and said.
