Chapter 579: [Bicycle]
But that night, Li Chengqian felt Su Mi's extremely passionate enthusiasm.
She obviously lost her energy after being excited, but she still insisted on clamping Li Chengqian's waist and tried her best to squeeze Li Chengqian dry.
When Li Chengqian finally fell on her body, she still refused to let Li Chengqian go.
I have worked hard for so long, just for such a little gain. I can't run away at this time, so I must keep it.
When the two calmed down, Li Chengqian was curious about why Su Mi was so enthusiastic tonight. When she wanted to ask her, she was so tired that she fell asleep.
He would never have thought that during the day, the queen had already transferred a lot of experience to her, and the reason why she came to practice it.
The next day, Li Chengqian went down to the court and wanted to go to Maling, but heard that the bicycles of Master Lu and Zhang Blacksmith were already ready.
Although Li Chengqian is not a person with a surname of Ziji, he has been asking for a bicycle for several days and is still quite looking forward to it, so he went back to Xichiyuan to take a look at the bicycle.
When he saw the Tang Dynasty bicycle, Li Chengqian twitched his mouth.
The appearance of this car is indeed exactly the same as the drawings he drew.
Perhaps using drawings to illustrate it will remind people of Li Chengqian's poor drawing ability, and think that the bicycle he made is as abstract as his drawings.
Actually, it is not. This Tang Dynasty version of bicycle is almost the same as modern bicycles, exactly the same.
This bicycle is made of wood and iron. The wheels are made of iron. The middle of the wheels is made of wood. The bars and other parts are also made of wood. The turning point of the front of the car is made of iron, which can enable the rotation of the front of the car.
Li Chengqian pushed the bicycle and walked two steps. The wheels rolled smoothly. It seemed that the workmanship was good. The front of the car was also very good, and it could almost rotate 360 degrees.
At this time, Li Chengqian sat on the ground, walked two steps on the ground, and the car moved forward.
This Tang Dynasty version of bicycle has no pedals or chains.
Perhaps this is not a bicycle, it is just the two wheels of the car. It cannot be stepped on, but can only walk on two feet and let the car move forward.
Although it is a human walking on the road, it is much easier than walking on both feet.
When bicycles were just invented in later generations, this was the way bicycles looked. Perhaps worse than this, but were all wood, with no turning heads.
Su Mi and the hippo sister who had not yet gone to work, Xiao Chen and others watched Li Chengqian test bike ride, and saw Li Chengqian riding a bicycle for a while, they couldn't help but feel excited and interested.
"Brother, brother, give me a try, give me a try!" Sister Hippo waved.
Li Chengqian stopped the car with a smile.
Su Mi pulled the hippo and spoke in a low voice. When Li Chengqian went over, he heard something from Su Mi: "Look, you can ride it while sitting on your butt, and you accidentally come out. You can't ride it!"
Sister Hippo clamped her thighs helplessly and nodded helplessly. "Brother, I won't play anymore."
Xiao Chen laughed and said, "Your Highness, can I ride it?"
Li Chengqian came down and smiled and said, "Of course!"
Then he reached out to Xiao Chen. After Xiao Chen handed his hand, he sat up with his help.
"Your Highness, don't let go, I'm afraid of falling!" Xiao Chen shouted.
After hearing this, Li Chengqian did not let go, and then supported her and let her step forward slowly with her feet. After a while, Li Chengqian let go, and she could walk forward by herself.
She walked around and Li Chengqian looked at Su Mi and said, "Little Mushroom is here to walk around!"
Su Mi shook her head lightly.
Although she is also playful, in front of so many people, she, as a princess, cannot put down her jokes.
Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Chen who got out of the car and said, "You have to go to work in the future and you can ride your bicycle, even the carriage can be saved!"
Xiao Chen nodded, but looked at Sister Hippo and smiled secretly, indicating that she was still comfortable in the carriage.
Li Chengqian didn't care about the things between them and women. He tried to use this bicycle. He said to the two craftsmen: "It's done very well, and you will be rewarded with three stagnant of money per person. In addition, you can produce a few more of this kind of bicycles and put them in the palace. Anyone who wants to use it can use it, and I can also keep it for later!"
"Here, thank your highness for your gift. We will definitely complete your highness's orders!" the two said.
After seeing off the two of them, Li Chengqian was going to get off Maling, so he rode his bicycle to go.
Lao Long and others rode their horses behind Li Chengqian, who was riding a bicycle, three or four meters away, and looked at Li Chengqian's bicycle interestingly.
This bicycle is still very inadequate.
Not to mention that I didn’t step on the board, I had to walk on the ground all the time. It seemed that there was no difference between walking, although it was a little easier.
The most important deficit is that the bicycle has very poor shock resistance. It is obviously walking on the bluestone slab, but the car is still shocked. If it encounters a crack in a rock or a small stone, it will make all the bones jump.
He recalled the original bicycle and immediately learned that the shock-proof bicycles in later generations were strong. Not only were there springs on the pillars of the car, but its rubber inflatable wheels were also something that played a great shock-proof function.
It’s a pity that there is nothing we can do about the rubber inflatable wheels in the Tang Dynasty!
While suffering from the bicycle, Li Chengqian was thinking that even if it could not be realized now, he would write down this point after he went back. After people had this technology, they could use the creativity he left behind to install inflatable wheels on the bicycle. Save the time when they had the rubber technology, they still had to wait for a smart person to suddenly feel inspiration when watering the flowers with water pipes, and then they wanted to install inflatable wheels on the bicycle.
Thinking of this, I quickly left the city. Although the road from outside the city to Xiamaling was a dirt road, it was Chang'an after all, and the dirt road was well built, so there was no pressure to walk on a bicycle. When I arrived at Xiamaling, I walked on the cement road, and it was even more refreshing!
Li Chengqian rode a new invention to Xiamaling, attracting everyone's attention and curiosity.
Fatty Zhu, Duan Zhixuan, and members of the polo team all know that Li Chengqian is the prince, and even know that Li Chengqian invented a lot of things. Now, seeing new things and being famous, I am even more curious about how magical the new invention is.
Others only knew that Li Chengqian was Master Li from the imperial village and had great ability, so they all gathered around. Something new was made!
"Master Li, what kind of thing are you doing? Let me play with Shuanzi!" said the eldest brother waved.
Chapter completed!
