Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 951

[Chapter 951 Bicycle]

“What about the construction of thermal power plants in other counties?” Zhao Xu asked again.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry thought for a while and said, “The artisans who came to the thermal power plants from various states and counties to participate in the construction and study went back half a month ago. They have basically mastered the main technical difficulties and can independently carry out the construction of the thermal power plants. According to the plan, the capitals of the states Thermal power plants will be built at the same time, followed by counties and counties with rich industries.”

Zhao Xu understood.

Zou Rong didn’t come to see him yesterday, it is said that he went south to supervise the construction of the thermal power plant.

Liu Fu only mentioned the thermal power station. After all, no major progress has been made so far, so he didn’t focus on reporting.

“The thermal power plant has a lot to do with it, and there must be no flaws in the quality, so don’t let it go.” Zhao Xu warned, and galloped back.

The current thermal power plant is just an empty shelf, and there is nothing to see.

After leaving the thermal power plant, Zhao Xu went straight to the research institute.

Last time Qu Sheng brought the rubber back.

In this way, Dasong has rubber products.

With rubber products, some commodities that could not be produced before can be produced.

He went to the research institute.

Qu Sheng and Wang Chong immediately came out to welcome them, both of them were smiling, as if they had eaten honey.

“Why, are you so happy to see this king come back?” Zhao Xu joked.

“We are naturally happy that His Highness is back, but during this period, what makes us even more happy is the rubber products.” Qu Sheng said.

After all, he couldn’t wait to lead Zhao Xu to a chemical laboratory.

“Your Highness, please see that now the glass instruments can be connected with rubber tubes, which will make experiments more convenient in the future.” Qu Sheng looked excited.

Chemical experiments, especially those involving gases, often require conduits as passages for gases.

Before there were no rubber tubes, they could only make special glass vessels with long air ducts.

But now, it is only necessary to manufacture standard containers and connect them through rubber tubes.

Even experiments that could not be carried out before can be easily completed.

Wang Chong said with emotion, “As His Highness said, this rubber has not changed the industry at all. After Qu Sheng turned raw rubber into rubber products, the conveyor belts of steam engines and electric motors were replaced with rubber belts. This is more difficult to mold. The shaped cowhide belt is much easier to use.” After

a pause, he continued, “And now the electric wires of the generator have been replaced with insulated electric wires, which is much safer.

” Merchants from the shoe workshop flocked to the place, and the price of rubber was also raised. His Highness went south this time, and the rubber plantations he took down are really equivalent to gold mines.”

After finishing speaking, Wang Chong laughed.

Zhao Xu felt happy, he expected that the arrival of rubber would bring some changes to Dasong’s industrial products.

Now, the change has begun.

“That’s right, I never do business that loses money, but sending rubber to make shoe soles is a bit of a waste, right?” Zhao Xu squinted at Wang Chong.

If this kid can’t come up with something that satisfies him, he will criticize others.

Seemingly understanding Zhao Xu’s meaning, Wang Chong chuckled, “When did I disappoint His Highness?”

He winked at the students beside him.

The students left, not long after, a crisp bell rang.

When the practitioner came back, there was a bicycle under his buttocks.

“This is what Your Highness wants?” Wang Chong was triumphant.

After Qu Sheng returned from transporting rubber, he immediately thought of bicycles.

Bicycles can actually be manufactured even at the level of the steam industry.

The only problem is the tires.

Of course, iron wheels without tires can also be ridden.

But compared to tires made of rubber, the taste of riding is far worse.

So he put his bike aside.

As soon as he had rubber this time, he immediately had the spare parts workshop make automatic gears, chains, frames, etc. for him, and built a special bike.

If King Yan approves, the bicycle workshop can be prepared immediately.

“Well, that’s about the same.” Zhao Xu showed a satisfied smile.

At this time, the student pushed the bicycle in front of Zhao Xu, and gave the handlebar of the bicycle to Zhao Xu.

Wang Chong was about to ask Zhao Xu if he would ride.

I saw Zhao Xu beautifully raised his legs, stepped onto the bicycle beautifully, kicked off with one foot, and rushed out like the wind.

Both Wang Chong and Qu Sheng were dumbfounded.

The two of them got black and blue several times in order to learn to ride a bicycle.

But King Yan is familiar with the road, and he can ride more neatly than them.

Zhao Xu didn’t notice the expressions of the two of them, and just walked around in the yard to feel the performance of this bicycle.

This bicycle has a beam, that is, there is a beam between the seat and the handlebar.

This beam made it difficult to get into the car.

But the reason for this design is not because Zhao Xu doesn’t understand the convenience of the contemporary V line structure.

It’s because adding this beam can carry many things, whether it’s people, food, or other items.

In other words, bicycles in this period should pay attention to practicality.

That’s why, in addition to the frame, the bike has a front basket and a long seat behind the saddle.
