When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 678 Going to Wuhou Temple

Zhang Fei stuffed the last piece of beef into his mouth and drank the cold tea in the cup. Then he touched his belly and burped, shouting: "It feels so good!"

Zhen De looked around, looking at table after table. It is no exaggeration to say that everyone in Ji Han was a big eater. There was not even a trace of leftovers on the table. Especially at the table of Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong, who even didn't know who had taken out the base of the pot and eaten it.

After a short rest, Zhen De saw that everyone was satisfied with their meal and drink, so he prepared to go home.

As for the single purchase matter.
Of course, let the God of Wealth come.

"Mr. Mi, let's pay and leave!"

Mi Zhu nodded, walked up to the shop owner and asked, "How much?"

"Eight hundred per table, six hundred and forty-eight. Teachers, if you don't want a discount, I'll round off the price for you. The total is four thousand five hundred. Scan the code here."

"Row."

Mi Zhu, without even frowning, raised his mobile phone and scanned the store owner's payment code. Ding, four thousand five hundred yuan was deposited into his account via SMS.

"Wow." Such a smooth operation made Wu Lan and Lei Tong look at each other in surprise, with a hint of surprise between their brows.

Wu Lan lowered her voice and said, "As expected of Mr. Mi who manages the money, he easily accomplished what we couldn't do. Brother Lei, to be honest, ever since Director Zhen bought me a mobile phone and a card, I've had some trouble using the phone. You scan me and I scan you."

"Brother Wu, just try to adapt. Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, I also made a mistake the first time."

"Brother Lei, let's not talk about this for now. After we have eaten and drunk our fill, we will set off to the Zhaolie Temple. However, you and I are all sweaty. Isn't it a bad idea to go to the Zhaolie Temple like this? We should take a shower and change clothes first."

"Yes, I thought so too."

Zhen De's idea coincided with those of Wu Lan, Lei Tong and others. To be more precise, all the people present in Ji Han thought so.

Everyone left the hot pot restaurant and returned to the hotel. After taking a shower and changing clothes, they boarded the bus and headed towards the Wuhou Temple.

On the way, Ji Han and his group were attracted by the scenery of the capital of Sichuan Province outside the window. The sycamore trees on both sides of the road were lush and green, rustling in the wind, and the sunlight flowed through the layers of branches and leaves like flowing golden sand. On the non-motorized vehicle lane inside the guardrail, men and women rode similar bicycles, and the dinging bells sounded like an invisible musician playing an unknown piece of music.

Liu Chan pointed at the bicycle outside the window and asked in surprise: "What is that?"

"Hmm?" Zhen De glanced at it and said, "Shared bikes are the public transportation version of bicycles. Bicycles are one of the most successful human-powered machines, powered by pedals. The top speed is not as good as a war horse, but it is more durable. I rode a mountain bike and maintained a speed of 18 kilometers per hour like it was fun. When I get tired, I drink a sip of water and I'm back to full health."

"So is it cheaper to travel by bicycle than by carriage and horse?"

"Of course, in ancient times, horses had to eat and poop, and war horses had to be treated like masters." Zhen De glanced at Liu Chan in surprise. To be honest, the Adou in front of him was quite different from the Doudi in his impression. Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others were all shocked. The moment they saw the shared bicycles, they realized that shared bicycles could not only facilitate people's travel, but also replace some of the functions of horses and mules.

Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun subconsciously considered the possibility of replicating the bicycle in Dahan.

Zhuge Liang thought to himself: The components including chain, chainring, crank, iron frame and tire can be made, there is no technical difficulty.

Zhuge Jun thought to himself: Based on my experience in Shangfang Mansion, tires and racks are more expensive. I wonder if wood can be used instead of racks. If so, I can lower the cost enough!
Mi Zhu thought: Trains and ships can reduce the cost of long-distance transportation, and bicycles should be able to be used for medium and short distances, but I don't know how much they can bear. If they can weigh a few dozen kilograms, it will free up mules and horses, reduce the cost of medium and short-distance transportation, and then reduce the price of food and goods.
Fa Zheng and Pang Tong thought: If this is used in warfare, it can greatly reduce the consumption of food and fodder for baggage.

Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu and thought: What would it look like if my second brother rode a bicycle to kill Yan Liang?

Guan Yu: Hmm? Why do you look so weird, brother?
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Director Zhen, why don't you tell us about the development of bicycles?"

"Success. Bicycles have a history of more than 100 years. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a clear record that 'Huang Luzhuang made a two-wheeled small cart, more than three feet long, which could seat one person and could move on its own without being pushed or pulled. When moving, the hand pulled the crank beside the axle to move back to the original position. It could travel 80 miles a day by pulling and stopping.' However, there seems to be controversy over who invented the bicycle. Some say it was the French, while others say it was the Germans."

"But none of this matters. What matters is that in the 1980s, my country was a kingdom of bicycles. Bicycles were everywhere on the streets, as numerous as the tide. It is estimated that there were at least 500 million of them. My family's warehouse still has the 28-inch bicycle that my grandfather rode when he was young."

"In short, bicycles at that time had replaced cars. Even now, in some small African countries, there are still many Odebiao riding 28-bar bicycles to transport goods. They can carry hundreds of kilograms of bananas."

"Speaking of bicycles, I think of a friend of mine who occasionally uses a road bike to deliver food after get off work. So, there is nothing wrong with using a bicycle to transport goods and people." Zhen De threw out all his impressions of bicycles. I didn't mention it before, but it was because big men didn't have much rubber. A bicycle without rubber tires is a nightmare. Not only can it not go fast, but it is also very bumpy.

Everyone in Ji Han was delighted. Looking around the fairyland, they saw that there were still people delivering goods on bicycles. Doesn't this mean that bicycles have been tested for more than a hundred years?

Before steam cars were mass-produced, it would have been better to promote bicycles first.

"Director Zhen."

The driver's voice sounded in front, "We are almost at Wuhou Temple. I will go to the parking lot first. It's a little distance. I see you guys are talking about shared bikes. Do you want to ride a shared bike?"

Everyone in Ji Han looked at each other, and a hint of joy appeared between their brows.

Needless to say, the answer is unanimous, "Ride!"

After parking the bus in the nearest parking lot, Zhen De took Ji Han and his group to find the shared bicycle parking area, taught them how to scan the code to drive, and taught them the tips of riding a bicycle.

For everyone in Ji Han, learning to ride a bicycle was not difficult. Military advisors like Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, and Huang Quan could ride on the road in a few minutes. Generals who had fought on the battlefield, such as Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Ma Dai, mastered the skill in just over ten minutes. Among the remaining officials, the longest time to learn was no more than half an hour.

"Let's go! Let's go to Wuhou Temple!"
