Among the many time-travel novels Li Sheng has read, the internal combustion engine is an easy thing to make.
But in actual operation, this is not the case at all. Don't look at the single-cylinder machines in rural areas that are cheap and easy to use. That is the power of the industrial system of later generations. In this day and age, this kind of thing is done. Others don't know it, but Li Sheng knows it very well.
It is said that it is comparable to two bombs and one star, but it is really comparable to the latest tank project. Think about it...
In Li Sheng's time, how many years had the third-generation main battle tanks of major countries been in use? You know this is not an easy matter.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Ziyu actually built a scaled-down version of a marine internal combustion engine...
Although it is still far behind the agricultural single-cylinder diesel engines of later generations - no, it can be said to be a world of difference - but even if it is a world of difference, it is still a breakthrough.
And... Li Sheng was really looking forward to traveling in a car. After traveling through so many years, the novelty of riding a horse had long since passed... and in his previous life, cars were something that Li Sheng was very familiar with on the bad streets.
After all, building trucks was Li Sheng's business in the past...
But in this era, the rustic truck in the previous life has unknowingly become like a Gundam in Li Sheng's mind... Just a casual guess, you will know that the most powerful generals and soldiers in this era are obviously not able to stand up.
A truck equipped with zombie armor crashed into a circle.
Such exciting stuff...
But I got stuck on the tire problem.
It’s like a pearl covered in dust!
Although Wei Ziyu only happily conveyed the news to herself during the phone call, she did not show any regrets, but seemed hesitant to speak... I don’t know what she was thinking, but it was obvious that she was not aware of the miniaturized internal combustion engine.
How valuable is it.
But Wei Ziyu doesn't understand, doesn't mean Li Sheng doesn't understand!
Li Sheng knows this internal combustion engine very well. This thing is a car... No, the core of this magic weapon is. With the engine... The next step is to build this magic weapon mount, which is a matter of time.
And when the time came... Li Sheng also breathed a long sigh of relief, finally...
Get this damn tire prototype out!
How could he not be excited about this? He was so excited. Although Datang currently had some rubber, there was still a long way to go before rubber could be transformed from raw materials into banging basketballs and tires. This required a large amount of rubber.
After devoting time and energy to research, Li Sheng only had two words to say about this matter, and he burst into tears...
Inflatable rubber sounds simple, but you will know if you actually make it... This thing is hard not to remind people of ballpoint pen refills, and it seems simple... Of course, it is not difficult in fact, but it is certainly not as crude as other ordinary metal parts.
Yes, it is really technical.
However... this is still not that difficult for Li Sheng.
Although this thing is "easy to produce under the modern industrial system", it seems to be very difficult to produce in the Tang Dynasty, but then again, the modern industrial system has its own modern production standards, as long as it is
It's not that tough...it can actually be done.
At worst, the thickness will be doubled...or the bounce performance standard will be lowered.
In modern times, it would be impossible to sell such a thing - you would not be welcomed every day. But in this era...
This kind of thing is like the newly launched fourth generation of Apple, which is a Zenith star-level good thing - An Neng said it is not easy to use? I am afraid that I will be slow to grab it.
After realizing this, Li Sheng seemed to have entered a new world. When he was secretly cursing himself on how to build an engine, he always remembered to start with a simple and low-energy-efficiency one, but now he has forgotten this when making tires.
So soon... this time Li Sheng came up with usable basketballs and footballs. Among them...
In Li Sheng's opinion, the performance of basketball is not that good, because the requirements for this thing's jumping performance are really high, and if it wants to be lower, it is obviously not much lower.
But football is different! The biggest requirement for this thing is not bounce.
It doesn't even have to have much bounce performance - just the more the merrier, the key is to be durable.
Based on the principle of industrial upgrading, Li Sheng quickly developed a truly qualified football. And football...in later generations, it was actually not as popular as basketball, although it was also a popular sport.
It's just that compared to basketball, football has no height requirements, so unlike basketball, only tall people play - and this is obviously not attractive to the girls and wives from ten miles and eight villages, so gay men don't like to play it either.
.
But... in Li Sheng's view, football is also very important.
Sports activities... in the final analysis, the reason why they can exist is because human beings inherently need fun - without fun, there will be no desire, and without desire, people will not make long-term plans and actions. But the reason for the existence of sports is undoubtedly
It is a simulation of a military exercise project!
In other words, promoting sportsmanship... is essentially to enhance the country's military potential - otherwise the imperial treasury would not have much money to spend, so why would it spend money specifically to encourage it? There is a good reason...
The same is true for football and basketball. Although they are all comprehensive training, the focus of basketball training is "throwing", that is, throwing something with a certain weight a sufficient distance.
Throwing a basketball is often more difficult than throwing a grenade, but precisely because of this, basketball is a very good training method - and the significance of this key point will undoubtedly shine in the future.
...After all, now that thermal weapons have appeared, it is conceivable that future infantry will use grenades as their main combat weapon.
Of course, influenced by later film and television works, Li Sheng would also envy those guns that were so well-made that they were comparable to expensive watches. But this thing... after all, it is regarded as a god in some countries.
But in China, that's really not the case - the Chinese Forbidden Army, the Slavic Army, and the German Army, these are the three strongest armies in the world, and without exception... they all use grenades as infantry to kill the enemy.
The first method is not shooting. Even the top literati in Britain wrote songs to praise the grenadiers instead of the shooters - even if the legendary shooters often have more cultural and creative value.
...In view of this reality, basketball, a sports activity that can invisibly train young people's throwing ability, is of course of great value...
But even so, Li Sheng still values football more.
The reason is simple, running - this is the origin of all track and field activities!
For Li Sheng, all the beasts in the world may not have unstoppable claws or powerful teeth... but they must run fast enough.
