Datang first village

Li Yuanxing led the crowd up to a high ground, and the three princesses of Qin also followed.

Li Yuanxing asked Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu to take out two binoculars.

In fact, you can see it without binoculars. You can see Yaozhou City from a distance, and you can vaguely see many people standing at the gate of the city. Wang Jishan said: "Based on my old eyes, it is about [-] miles to the gate of Yaozhou City! "

Taking the binoculars, it was even more clear that the three knights were drinking water.

The guard on the bicycle was undressing, put on a tights, and then put on a special helmet.

He has received training and knows how to ride this bicycle, but he has never tried it at full speed, and he is excited at this moment.His bright red tights are particularly conspicuous from a distance.

"Let's start!" Li Yuanxing nodded slightly, and Lu Maofeng picked up the flag and waved it a few times.

There are also small flags on the road to respond.

The bicycle moved, and the speed was not fast when it started. The guard didn't sit down at all, he was pedaling with all his strength, and the whole person was standing, with his body forward.

Speed... 45 kilometers per hour!

The ten miles of Datang, that is, the distance of less than five kilometers, 7 minutes...

Everyone in Tushan was shocked, and everyone opened their mouths wide open. Even Lu Maofeng, who had seen the speed of bicycles, also opened his mouth wide in surprise. Li Yuanxing nodded in satisfaction. A personal guard caught the almost out-of-control car, and two people would rather fall than let the bicycle fall to the ground.

The personal guard clenched his fists and roared vigorously.

Excitement, frantic excitement, this speed was beyond his imagination, he felt like he was going to fly.

"This, this, this!" Wang Jishan said three this in succession!But I don't know what to say next.

Cui Junsu let out a heavy breath: "Your Highness, if you are in a hurry for [-] miles, you can get there in five hours with this road and this car. Your Highness is always shocking!"

Li Yuanxing shook his head: "Physical strength, people's physical strength is limited, the bodyguard slows down by [-]%, and saves his strength for an hour and a half to travel from Yaozhou to Chang'an, but his physical strength is far behind."

"It's also a great good!"

Li Yuanxing thought, when can such a bicycle be manufactured by Datang?There is no substitute for the current tires. With pure wooden wheels and a belt drive, it is not bad to be able to reach Chang'an in three hours.

At this time, Cui Dunli handed over a thick book to Wang Jishan.

"Wang Shangshu, there must be rules and etiquette in everything. There are many rules when walking on the straight road, such as the dung bag that the horse must have, the horse manure must not fall on the straight road, the horse is not allowed to eat the green belt on both sides of the road, and the trees are not allowed to be damaged. , Pedestrians are not allowed on the road, they are not allowed to stop on the road, and it is strictly forbidden to drive in the wrong direction..."

"There must be rules in everything. After studying this book, I will discuss it with Cui Changshi. If there is no problem, I will announce it to the world!"

The bicycle was packaged back into the wooden box again, and Li Yuanxing didn't intend to let people watch this thing that could be called an artifact in Datang.

The officials from Tianying Pavilion came along because Yaozhou was too mysterious.Qin Wangzhuang sealed off Yaozhou, no one was allowed to enter the territory of Yaozhou, merchants coming and going could only take the designated official roads, and they were not allowed to stay.

If these officials are not allowed to take a look, they will make wild guesses.

"Cui Changshi, lead people to visit!"

What needs to be visited, Cui Dunli can't make the decision. The one who can really make the decision is Cheng Yaojin, the guard here.

"Ha, hahaha!" Cheng Yaojin laughed and greeted him: "Your Highness, you are here. Old Cheng is working hard here, did you bring any wine?"

"General Cheng has worked hard. The bandits around Yaozhou have been wiped out. This kind of credit will be given to my cousin!"

Killing bandits, in other words, this is Lao Cheng's dereliction of duty.

Then there was a general who personally led troops to fight bandits with dozens or hundreds of people.

Hearing the music in Li Yuanxing's words, Cheng Yaojin laughed and refused to answer, and let the sergeants lead the civil servants away quickly like a duck, and first went to visit a medicine garden and a patent medicine factory.

Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu were stopped by Li Yuanxing: "You two, my king will show you two!"

This is considered to be divided into equal ranks, and the two immediately understood that what Li Yuanxing wanted to show them was different from other people.

The three princesses of Qin were sent to other courtyards to rest, and it was meaningless for them to participate in these messy craftsmen's houses.

Five steps, one post, ten steps, one post.

Wang Jishan's entourage were all asked to stay outside, and those craftsmen who came in and out were even checked with magnets.Even entering and exiting the palace is not so strict.

"Stay here." Wang Jishan ordered his followers not to follow any more.

There would definitely be no problem with safety, with Qin Wang Li Yuanxing's personal guards, and there would be no danger here.

"Some people say that this king is wasting fine iron and steel. This king wants to say that good steel is used on the blade!" Li Yuanxing took a step forward and lifted the curtain with his own hands: "Please, two! This is the pinnacle of the steel industry in Datang The location is also the powerful guarantee of Datang!"

Entering the door, you will see a huge steel machine three feet high.

Driven by a belt, a steel runner with a diameter of one foot is slowly turning.

Looking closer, this huge steel machine is three feet high and five feet long. There are fifteen craftsmen standing in front of a long workbench, and there are two small workers behind each of them.At the back, there is a rest area with tea, pasta, and some dried meat. There are 60 to [-] people sitting in the rest area.

"This is called a stamping machine, the finest steel armor!"

Under the signal of Li Yuanxing, Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu took off their silk clothes and put on the rough linen robes prepared here.After everyone took another wet cloth in their hands, they approached the machine.

"Your Highness, please stand here!" There was an area marked out by the steward here, which meant that he could only stand here and watch.

Li Yuanxing explained on behalf of the steward: "This is the rule set by the king. Once the machine is in motion, the machine will not stop unless it is maintained. The personnel in front of the workbench will rotate once in half an hour, and then go to work after an hour's rest. Every day is divided into three parts. The shifts are rotated every four hours."

After Wang Jishan stood at the designated position, he understood what Li Yuanxing meant by the rotation.

There are fifteen countertops in front of the huge machine’s workbench, and each countertop has a huge hammer five feet long and one foot thick, and the hammer is constantly hammering rhythmically.

Two small workers put the red-hot steel bars on the table respectively, and the craftsman in charge of the workbench puts the red-hot steel bars into a specific position in the gap between the lifting and falling of the hammer.

When the heavy hammer fell, the steel was immediately crushed.

Look at the flattened steel bar being pulled out by the craftsman and quickly thrown aside.

After one piece was finished, the craftsman had to take care of another piece of red-hot steel immediately. In this way, the flattened steel next to the craftsman piled up hundreds of pieces in a short period of time.

"Prepare for a small rotation!" A foreman looked at the sand clock and shouted.

Wang Jishan turned his head to look at the rest area.

Half of the craftsmen there had already stood up, moving their arms.

"Three!" The foreman shouted, and at the end, fifteen small workers started to take over the work of passing the steel bars. The craftsmen stood in special positions, and everyone's position was exactly the same as that of the original craftsmen.

"Two!" The foreman shouted!

Those craftsmen who were working pulled out the steel bars in their hands and threw them aside, quickly retreated, and a new round of craftsmen immediately took over.

At this time, one person was a little slower. When putting in the new steel rod, the position was a little off, and the shape of the pressed flat steel sheet was obviously wrong with the others.

But no one accused anyone, and no one spoke.

Only a small worker half-kneeled and leaned up to pull the broken one aside, and then put it in the box next to it.

Wang Jishan walked up to the box and said, "I don't know how much this day will cost!"

Seeing Li Yuanxing nod his head slightly, the foreman said: "Returning to you, this workshop produced 17 finished products and about [-] waste materials in an average day and night in the first ten days."

After the foreman finished speaking, he glanced at Li Yuanxing quietly.He also said: "A certain manager, several other managers, and several craftsmen and foremen are discussing how to improve. Next month, the daily production will definitely reach 20 yuan, and the waste will be within [-] yuan!"

20!There are 20 iron bars, what is the purpose of making such a huge quantity?

Li Yuanxing said to the foreman at this time: "I think that the first consideration is the safety of the craftsmen, and the second is the quantity of excellent products. Don't just think about quantity, remember safety first, quality first, and output second."

"Yes, someone was wrong!"

Li Yuanxing made a gesture of invitation: "You two, go to the next workshop to have a look."

"Prince Qin please!"

After being courteous to each other, the three came to another workshop. At this time, the two saw a more novel thing.

Those are two long steel bars placed on the ground. The steel wheels of a car are placed on these steel bars. Two small workers can push them to another workshop. Look at the number of steel bars installed on them. , there are nearly ten thousand entries.

Li Yuanxing did not explain this, it was a test case of his railway plan.

In this workshop, there are more blacksmiths, and the strips of flat steel that have just been stamped are quickly divided in their hands and turned into small pieces of feather-shaped steel.

Seeing this, if Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu didn't know each other anymore, they wouldn't be high-ranking nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang's new military armor, blazing feather armor!

This is more advantageous than the scale armor, especially the defense against bows and arrows is doubled.

What's even more powerful is that when faced with slashing attacks, even powerful generals like Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong couldn't cut through them with ordinary long knives.

The only time when a three-inch gap was cut with a knife was when Wu Bin used Li Yuanxing to seal the magical weapon in the treasury.

What made the generals even more excited was the weight, which was about three catties lighter than the scale armor. (To be continued.)
