"Mr. Liu! Gong Liu!"
"Why is it harder to ride this thing than riding a human being!"
Long Qie shouted and staggered over.
But...he didn't come here on foot, there was a wooden thing underneath him.
"Boy, this thing is called a bicycle. It moves by itself. In fact, it still needs some human power to move it."
"Come on, Long Qie, come down and turn the bike over."
Liu Bai said with a smile.
The frame of this wooden bicycle was made by a random carpenter. As for the gears... it's a bit ridiculously simple!
It was Liu Bai who cut the wood with a knife.
It's definitely not durable, but it's just a sample.
"bike?"
Gong Shuqiu exclaimed and stepped forward quickly.
I saw that the bicycle was turned over, and as long as the pedals were turned, the wheel hub would rotate, and it could walk naturally.
Such a simple principle can naturally be seen by a master like Gong Shuqiu at a glance.
The key is the gear!
What this thing is made of... is so creative!
He never thought that just a few small things could do it on their own?
"Husband loses, the wooden man... you can do it later. Let's use this distance first to create a wooden cow and a horse that can transport food."
"Put the gear set in one position, and then as long as the soldier twists the spring, these things can move on their own."
"If this thing can be made, the cost of transporting military rations in Daqin, and even merchants transporting goods in the future, will be extremely low!"
Liu Bai smiled slightly and took out a letter of drawings.
In fact, this was something he managed to do based on his imagination, but...
For top craftsmen like Gongshu Qiu and Mo Shan, ideas are rare!
"On your own! It turns out you can really do it on your own!"
Gong Shuqiu's eyes were full of surprise!
"This is just a rough idea, and you still need to improve it in detail."
"And this bicycle, if the material is changed, it will also be a good vehicle for travel in the future!"
"Mo Shan, you can replace this thing with iron when the time comes, and then hollow out the parts that should be hollow, and lower the weight."
As soon as Liu Bai saw Gong Shuqiu's expression, he knew there was nothing wrong.
Although he can't really be like Zhuge Wuhou, who is a wooden cow and a horse, it is already very good to do it this way.
You know, when General Wang fought against the Huns in the past, the food loss ratio was one to thirty!
It is to transport one stone of food to the front line, and thirty stone will be consumed on the way!
This is military transportation, and there is no tax! Most of them were eaten by soldiers and horses transporting them on the road.
And now there are wooden cows and flowing horses...
If people want to eat, do they also need to eat this wood?
It can be said that Liu Bai was anxious to invent this thing just for the next Huns war.
There is no other way. Grain production cannot be increased for a while, so we can only start with reducing sources!
Liu Bai, a dignified Prime Minister of Qin, worried about state affairs with the mentality of living a poor life, almost moved himself to tears.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu! Regarding the matter of self-discipline, my father-in-law has been studying for hundreds of years, and countless ancestors have left behind their experiences!"
"Now that Mr. Liu uses this thing, I will be enlightened. I can definitely create the wooden cow and flowing horse that Mr. Liu wants!"
Gong Shuqiu's eyes were full of excitement, and he suddenly stood up.
And the 'thing' he was talking about was naturally not the ugly wooden bicycle, but the 'gear' on it!
This is the case with craft inventions. As long as you have a small inspiration, you may be able to get out of the dark cave!
Seeing Gong Shuqiu's excited look, Liu Bai was also very satisfied!
It’s not in vain that I took the saw-like fire stick and whittled it for a long time.
"only..."
Suddenly, Gong Shouqiu's voice became twisted.
"Mr. Liu..."
"that..."
"this..."
Gong Shuqiu's face, which looked like the bark of an old tree, actually showed a bit of shyness.
Such an expression made Liu Bai a little confused. Why was this old boy so shy like his true self?
Could it be that being introverted, reticent, and shy are also contagious?
"Mr. Liu, this husband loses because he wants the reputation of a wooden cow and a horse,"
As soon as he saw Gong Shuqiu's appearance, Mo Shan immediately thought of it and spoke out directly.
The people who know you best are often your enemies.
Moreover, Mo Shan and Gong Shuqiu were both masters of the world, so their thoughts were no different.
Even...Gongshu Qiu didn't care that the old boy Mo Shan didn't call him 'Mr. Gongshu' this time.
"Fame...haha! Wooden cows and flowing horses are a bit convoluted. You, loser, can name it whatever you want!"
"The truth demands results, it's that simple."
Liu Bai laughed, but didn't care much.
After all, Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse were the invention of Prime Minister Zhuge. They made a copycat version, but Liu Bai felt a little offended by this person.
"Thank you Mr. Liu!"
Gong Shuqiu was so excited that his whole body trembled.
Even breathing, I started to gasp!
Then, the head of the public loser's family was about to pay homage to Liu Bai on the spot.
"Hurry up and do the work. Don't die in my prime minister's house."
Liu Bai quickly helped Gong Shuqiu up, but he was laughing and cursing.
Just kidding, such a great craftsman deserves respect from everyone!
And at such an old age, who knows if his life span will be shortened?
There have been quite a few thunderstorms recently, and Liu Bai was indeed afraid of being struck by lightning.
"Mr. Liu, my father-in-law has paid for the manufacturing cost of the horses! According to the expectations on Liu Gong's drawings, they need to be large enough to transport 'one-year-old grain'. Our father-in-law can make 30,000 horses in one month!" Liu Gong transports grain!" (One year's worth of grain is about 400 kilograms.)
"How can this be accomplished? This is a military weapon for the country, and public servants helped build it. It is already a great achievement! How can I, Liu Bai..."
Liu Bai was startled and quickly stopped him!
"Ten days! Fifty thousand in ten days!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Bai's stop made Gong Shuqiu even more moved, and he actually shouted such a sentence categorically!
In his opinion, this thing is something that will be passed down through the ages by public losers.
Mr. Liu does not care about fame and fortune, he has already been kind to the loser, and now he must repay the favor!
After saying these words, the corners of Liu Bai's mouth twitched fiercely!
Nest grass? No one told me that Gongshu had so many family members!
Of course, this is also Liu Bai's narrow-mindedness.
Although the Gongshu family is called a family, in fact, his ancestor Gongshuban was the master craftsman with countless craftsman disciples.
These craftsmen only have incense and love, and are not as united as the Mohists.
But if Gongshu Qiu really needs it, he can pass it on in the name of "Lu Ban Ling", and these craftsmen will help.
after all...
Who can refuse to help the Patriarch?
....
At the same time, a fast horse galloped into Xianyang, heading straight towards Liu Bai's prime minister's residence.
When Liu Bai sent Gong Shuqiu out of the door, the horse was coming!
The man in powerful clothes turned over and dismounted, but he couldn't even stand firmly and fell directly to the ground:
"The governor of Sanchuan County wrote a letter personally, asking to see Prime Minister Liu!"
"It is related to the rise and fall of the Qin Dynasty. Please see me!"
