Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1381, I voted for this two-legged car

"Old Liu, how did you do it?"

Watching Liu Jin come back on his bicycle in a fit of anger, Zhu Houzhao's small eyes were like little stars he admired, and at the same time his whole body was itchy.

"Actually, this two-legged car looks difficult, but as long as you master the balance, it is very simple."

"When riding it, focus on the front, not on the feet, keep the center of gravity, and just stare hard."

Liu Jin smiled and handed the bicycle to Zhu Houzhao again, and also taught him how to ride the bicycle.

"I'll try again~"

Zhu Houzhao was itching to ride his bicycle again, with someone supporting him. At the same time, he also liked riding a horse, so he soon got used to it.

"Haha, haha~"

"Fun, fun~"

Riding a bicycle and speeding on the concrete road, Zhu Houzhao also shouted excitedly.

This feeling of being able to control yourself wherever you want is quite good, and it is more comfortable than riding a horse, after all, riding a horse is more bumpy.

"Huang Zhiyuan, how did you come up with the idea of ​​inventing this two-legged bicycle?"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao having fun, Liu Jin also smiled and asked about Huang Zhiyuan.

"This, this~"

"My family is relatively poor and I don't have a four-wheeled carriage. I walked on the street again. It rained that day, and there was a lot of water on the street, so it was very difficult to walk."

"A carriage passed by me and splashed me all over."

"At that time, I was thinking, if I can also invent a car, I don't need to buy expensive horses or oxen to pull the cart, so I can have my own car."

"Just after graduating from this middle school, I chose to study here at the School of Mechanical Engineering. I was exposed to various mechanical manufacturing here, so I designed this two-legged vehicle based on half of the four-wheeled carriage."

Huang Zhiyuan also slowly explained the reason why he designed this two-legged car.

It turned out that it was after being splashed all over by a four-wheeled carriage that it was thought of inventing this two-legged vehicle.

"That's it~"

"Your invention is really good and promising."

After Liu Jin heard it, he immediately praised it.

Bicycles are very important means of transportation. Even in the 21st century, many people still choose this environmentally friendly and healthy means of transportation. At the same time, in many remote and backward countries and regions, bicycles are extremely important whether they are carrying people or goods. means of transportation.

"Really?"

When Huang Zhiyuan heard this, he was very excited.

This is the first time he has been affirmed by others, especially the affirmation of Liu Jin, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which makes him extremely excited.

You must know that he has been criticized for tossing this bicycle all the time. His parents don't want him to invent this kind of bicycle, but hope that he can learn how to make steam locomotives so that he can go to the train station in the future , or work in shipyards, where the income is high and the jobs are stable.

What's the use of tossing this two-legged car?

It's not easy to ride, and it seems to be useless, a bit playful.

Fortunately, many students here in the School of Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are similar, and there are many strange inventions of all kinds, which made him persevere.

"Of course it is true. The two-legged car you invented, as long as you make some improvements, it will definitely be popular and have a bright future."

Liu Jin nodded solemnly.

Take a look at the biped that Zhu Houzhao is riding. The wooden wheels must be changed to rubber inflatable wheels, and then the solid wood is changed to steel wire tension. The faucet is equipped with bearings, and the back is equipped with seats. It is best to make it look like the phoenix of the later generations.

At that time, whether it is carrying people or pulling goods, it will definitely be appropriate, and it will be extremely practical, and it will definitely be popular once it is introduced to the market.

"But why no merchant is willing to buy my invention?"

"Many people in the academy have sold a lot of money for their inventions, but no one is willing to buy my two-legged bicycle."

Huang Zhiyuan was very excited, but soon said in discouragement.

With the rapid development of capitalism, various factories and workshops have developed rapidly, and the demand for high-efficiency machinery is also very strong. Therefore, some of the machinery invented by the students and teachers of the School of Mechanical Engineering are often purchased or imitated by some people. Some simply set up their own small workshops to produce the machines they invented.

"That's because they didn't see the promise of this two-legged vehicle."

"I vote for you two-legged car~"

Liu Jin looked at Huang Zhiyuan, then at Zhu Houzhao who was riding a bicycle in a fit of rage, and said, "I will invest one million taels of silver to build a factory, and you will be in charge of technical production, and I will give you [-]% of it." Shares, what do you think?"

"No problem, no problem~"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Huang Zhiyuan was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Finally someone fell in love with the two-legged bicycle he invented, and he was ready to invest one million taels of silver to build a bicycle factory and give himself one-tenth of the shares. This is equivalent to saying that the two-legged bicycle he invented It can be worth one hundred thousand taels of silver.

"Great, great~"

"My two-legged bicycle is finally going to shine. Soon, people all over the world will know about my two-legged bicycle, and they will also fall in love with the two-legged bicycle I invented."

Huang Zhiyuan was really happy. The two-legged bicycle he worked so hard to invent has never been recognized by others.

Everyone felt that this two-legged car had no future.

This speed is not as fast as riding a horse. The key is that it is not flexible, and there is no way to carry people or objects, and it is difficult to use and it is easy to fall.

In general, in everyone's opinion, this two-legged car has no future.

But now, in Liu Jin's eyes, it is very promising, and he is willing to spend one million taels of silver to invest in the construction of a factory to produce this two-legged car.

This feeling of being recognized and rewarded for his hard work made Huang Zhiyuan shout excitedly.

"Haha, it's true that the world will soon see it shine."

Liu Jin also nodded with a smile.

The bicycle is a very practical invention. Even in the 21st century with extremely convenient transportation, it is still a very important means of transportation. As for now, its practicality is even higher.

You must know that horses are very expensive. Not everyone can afford a horse. Only rich people can afford a carriage. People from ordinary families basically have to rely on two feet to go out.

But it is different with a bicycle. The applicability of the bicycle is very strong, and it is very suitable for short-distance travel. It is also very good, one or two hundred catties can be easily moved.

"Why are you happy about something?"

Here, Zhu Houzhao, a handsome drifter came to Liu Jin's side, and he couldn't put it down for this two-legged car.

"I decided to invest in this two-legged car and build a factory to produce this two-legged car. It will definitely be a big seller and a bargain."

Liu Jin replied.

"I want to invest, I also want to invest, I think this two-legged car is really good, very promising, I want to invest."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately yelled and said.

"Okay, let's invest one million first, you have half a million, I've got half a million, count him [-]% of the shares, and the rest you half, I've got [-]%."

Liu Jin was naturally invested by Zhu Houzhao, who was happy. Huang Zhiyuan, who was on the side, became even more excited when he heard it. Even His Royal Highness is willing to invest in his own two-legged car, which shows that his invention is still very promising.

"This two-legged car has a lot of room for improvement, please make a note~"

"First of all, the steering of this faucet is not very flexible. It lacks bearings. It needs to add bearings inside. In addition, it is still too heavy and it is tiring to ride. We must find a way to reduce its weight."

"In addition, the distance of the pedals needs to be readjusted. It is too short. Of course, everyone's height is different, so this seat can be adjusted in height."

"And it's best to have a structure with brakes. I just rode fast and almost hit someone."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and told Huang Zhiyuan a few things that he felt were not perfect.

Huang Zhiyuan took out a pen and a notebook, and quickly wrote it down. He nodded and said, "I also think this is too heavy, and it's tiring to ride, but I have no money to improve it."

"I have been thinking about how to do this brake structure, and now there are some eyebrows, and the bearings also need to be added. I didn't have money to do it before."

"You have to think carefully about the structure of your biped. I think the triangular structure is the most stable. In addition, you have to consider the load and load. Add a support at the back to carry people and loads. of."

Liu Jin thought for a while and made his own opinion.

"Yes, yes, I thought about it too."

Huang Zhiyuan hurriedly recorded that he would sometimes ride his two-legged bicycle to deliver some goods to earn some extra money. Although not much, it can prove that it has the value of carrying goods.

After discussing with Huang Zhiyuan for a while, and after explaining the following things clearly, Liu Jin looked at Ren Siheng and said, "Your School of Mechanical Engineering is really full of talents. If you have more students like Huang Zhiyuan, I can become more talented after Ming Dynasty. It prospered."

"Mr. Liu won the prize~"

When Ren Siheng heard this, he hurriedly said modestly.

"By the way, this time, I mainly want to entrust your engineering school to help research a new generation of printing technology."

"I want to open libraries in various places in Ming Dynasty. The library can read and copy books for free, and borrow books at a very low price. It is similar to the school library."

"But this book is very expensive, and the demand will be very large, so I want your help to research a new generation of printing technology that is more efficient and cheaper."

Liu Jin revealed his intention of coming.

　It is said that there is a market for Phoenix [-] in some African countries~
