Chapter 352: The Shocking Industry Brings the Confucian Students, Ask for a Monthly Pass]
Li Yuanxing led everyone to a high mountain, and the three Qin princesses also followed.
Li Yuanxing took out two telescopes and handed them to Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu.
In fact, you can see it without a telescope. You can see Yaozhou City from a distance, and you can vaguely see many people standing at the city gate. Wang Jishan said: "With my old eyes, it's about thirteen miles to the Yaozhou City Gate!"
"
Taking the telescope, he could see even more clearly that the three knights were drinking water.
The guard on the bicycle was taking off his clothes, putting on a tight suit, and then putting on a special helmet.
He had received training and knew how to ride this bicycle, but he had never tried to ride it at full speed. At this time, he was very excited. His bright red tights were particularly conspicuous from a distance.
"Let's begin!" 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 in response.
The bicycle started moving, but it wasn't very fast at the start. The guard didn't sit down at all. He was pedaling with all his strength, standing and moving forward.
Speed..., forty-five kilometers per hour!
Ten miles of Datang, that is, a distance of less than five kilometers, seven minutes...
The entire Tushan people were shocked. No one except them opened their mouths. Even Lu Maofeng, who had seen the speed of bicycles, also opened his mouth in surprise. Li Yuanxing nodded with satisfaction. He could clearly see through the high-power telescope how many people were in front of Yaozhou City.
Two guards caught the nearly out-of-control bike, and two others would rather fall themselves than let their bikes fall to the ground.
The guard clenched his fists with both hands and roared vigorously.
Excited, feverishly excited, the speed was beyond his imagination, and he felt like he was about to fly.
"This, this, this!" Wang Jishan said three times in a row! But he didn't know what to say next.
Cui Junsu breathed out a heavy breath: "Your Highness, if you need to rush 800 miles away, you can get there in five hours by this road and this car. Your Highness is always shocking!"
Li Yuanxing shook his head: "Physical strength, human physical strength is limited. The guard slows down by 30% and saves his physical strength for an hour and a half to get from Yaozhou to Chang'an, but no matter how far away his physical strength is, it will be far inferior."
"It is also a great kindness!"
Li Yuanxing wondered when such a bicycle could be manufactured in the Tang Dynasty. There is no substitute for the current tires. With pure wooden wheels and belt drive, it can reach Chang'an in three hours, which is good.
Cui Dunli then handed a thick book to Wang Jishan.
"Wang Shangshu, there must be rules and etiquette in everything. There must be many rules when walking on a straight road. For example, horses must have manure bags. Horse manure must not fall on the straight road. Horses are not allowed to eat the green belts on both sides of the road. They are not allowed to destroy trees.
, Pedestrians are not allowed to go on the road, no parking is allowed on the road, and it is strictly prohibited to drive in the wrong direction..."
"There must be rules in everything. After I study this book, I will discuss it with Cui Changshi. If there are no problems, I will put it on record and announce it to the world!"
The bicycle was sealed back into the wooden box. Li Yuanxing did not intend for anyone to come and watch this thing that could be called an artifact in the Tang Dynasty.
Officials from Tianying Pavilion came with them because Yaozhou was too mysterious. Qin Wangzhuang had banned Yaozhou. No one was allowed to enter Yaozhou. Merchants coming and going could only use designated official roads, and they were not allowed to stay.
If these officials are not allowed to take a look, they will make random guesses.
"Cui Changshi, take people to visit!"
Cui Dunli can't decide what to visit. The one who can really decide is the guard here Cheng Yaojin.
"Ha, hahaha!" Cheng Yaojin laughed and came up to him: "Your Highness, you are here. Old Cheng is working hard here. Did you bring any wine?"
"General Cheng, thank you for your hard work. The bandits around Yaozhou have been wiped out. I will go to my cousin to take credit for this!"
Killing the bandits, in other words, was Lao Cheng's dereliction of duty.
There was a general who personally led his troops to fight against dozens or hundreds of bandits.
Cheng Yaojin heard the music in Li Yuanxing's words, laughed loudly and refused to answer. He asked the sergeants to lead the civil servants away quickly like they were chasing ducks, and first went to visit a medicine garden and a proprietary medicine factory.
Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu were stopped by Li Yuanxing: "You two, I will show you two!"
Even if they were divided into different levels, the two immediately understood that what Li Yuanxing wanted to show them was different from others.
The three Qin princesses were sent to other courtyards to rest. It was meaningless for them to participate in these messy craftsmen's rooms.
There is a post at five steps and a sentry at ten steps.
Wang and Shan's entourage were asked to stay outside, and the craftsmen who came in and out were even checked with magnets. Even entering and exiting the palace were not so strict.
"You stay here." Wang Jishan ordered his followers not to follow him anymore.
There will definitely be no problem with safety. There are personal guards of King Qin Li Yuanxing, and there is no danger here.
"Some people say that I am wasting fine iron and steel. I want to say that good steel is used on the blade!" Li Yuanxing took a step forward and raised the door curtain with his own hands: "Please, you two! This is the pinnacle of Datang's steel industry.
The location is also the strong guarantee of Datang!"
Entering the door, you will see a huge steel machine three feet high.
A steel runner with a diameter of one foot is slowly rotating driven by the belt.
Looking closer, this huge three-foot-tall steel machine is five feet long. There are fifteen craftsmen standing in front of a long workbench, and there are two small workers behind each person. Further behind, there is a pendulum
There is a rest area with tea, noodles, and some dried meat. There are fifty or sixty people sitting in the rest area.
"This is called a stamping machine. It's made of fine steel armor!"
Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu took off their silk clothes at Li Yuanxing's signal and put on the coarse linen robes prepared here. After everyone took another wet towel in their hands, they approached the machine.
"Your Highness, please stand here!" The steward here has designated an area, which means that you can 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, it will not stop except for maintenance. The people in front of the workbench rotate every half an hour and rest for an hour before starting work. Every day is divided into three
Shifts rotate every four hours."
After Wang Jishan stood at the designated position, he understood what Li Yuanxing meant by this rotation.
There are a total of fifteen countertops in front of the workbench of the huge machine. On each table is a huge hammer that is five feet long and one foot thick. The hammer is hammering rhythmically.
The two workers placed the red-hot steel bars on the table. The craftsman in charge of the workbench placed the red-hot steel bars in the gap between the ups and downs of the hammer and placed the red-hot steel blocks in a specific position.
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 immediately had to take care of another piece of red-hot steel. In this constant rotation, hundreds of pieces of flattened steel were piled up next to the craftsman in a short period of time.
"Get ready for the small rotation!" A plumber looked at the sand clock and shouted.
Wang Jishan turned his head and looked at the rest area.
Half of the craftsmen there have stood up and moved their arms.
"Three!" the foreman shouted, and the last fifteen workers took over the task of delivering the steel bars. The craftsmen stood in special positions, and each person's position was exactly the same as the position of the craftsman who originally worked.
"Two!" the foreman shouted!
The 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 up their positions.
At this time, one person was a little slower. When putting in the new steel bar, the position was a little off, and the shape of the pressed flat steel sheet was obviously wrong with the others.
But no one blamed, and no one spoke.
There was only one worker who was half-kneeling and leaned over, pulled the broken one aside, and put it in the box next to it.
Wang Jishan walked to the box and said, "I don't know how much this day will cost!"
Seeing Li Yuanxing nod slightly, the foreman said: "To tell you what to say, in the first ten days of the month, on average, this workshop produced 173,000 finished products and about 5,000 scraps per day and night."
After finishing speaking, the foreman glanced at Li Yuanxing quietly and said: "X, several other supervisors, and several craftsmen foremen are discussing how to improve. Next month, the daily production will definitely reach 200,000, and the waste will be less than 2,000!"
Two hundred thousand! What is the purpose of making such a huge number of two hundred thousand iron bars?
Li Yuanxing said to the foreman at this time: "I believe that the safety of the craftsmen should be considered first, and the number of excellent products second. Don't just think about quantity, remember safety first, quality first, and output second."
"Yes, I was wrong!"
Li Yuanxing made an invitation gesture: "Here you two, go to the next workshop and have a look."
"King Qin please!"
After a brief exchange of courtesy, the three of them came to another workshop. At this time, the two of them saw something even more novel.
Those are two long steel bars placed on the ground. The steel wheels of a car are placed on these steel bars. Two workers can push them to another workshop. Look at the number of steel bars installed on them.
, there are nearly ten thousand.
Li Yuanxing did not explain this. This was a test product for his railway plan.
In this workshop, there are more blacksmiths, and the flat steel bars that were just stamped are quickly cut into pieces in their hands, turning into small feather-shaped steel pieces.
If King Jishan and Cui Junsu didn't know each other after seeing this, they would no longer be high-ranking nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang new style military armor, blazing feather armor!
This has more advantages than scale armor, especially its 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 swords.
The only time Wu Bin cut a three-inch crack with one sword was when Wu Bin used the magic weapon sealed in the library by Li Yuanxing.
What excites the generals even more is the weight, which is about three kilograms lighter than scale armor. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
