Look at the fire in the small earthen kiln soaring into the sky.
The sun sets in the west.
After a busy day, Shen Lie casually sat down on a large bluestone, took the steamed buns and pickles passed by his subordinates, and hastily filled his stomach.
My mind flew to the sky.
"Folding lifting ears..."
This name is really vivid.
I don’t know yet whether this idea will work.
Shen Lie had mixed feelings at this moment. From the building process of this four-wheeled carriage alone, he could see that in this land, the handicraft technology had stagnated for fifteen hundred years.
as well as.
Various conscriptions before the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution in Europe.
After looking at the manuscript "Kao Gong Ji" in his hand, Shen Lie suddenly thought of the "Tiangong Kaiwu" that had not yet been released.
That immortal masterpiece, which contained the great achievements of Chinese national technology, shocked the Europeans, so Shen Lie began to suspect that the Europeans had really stolen the Ming Dynasty's technology.
Europeans were amazed by the splendid Chinese handicraft technology and felt like they had found a treasure.
But the scholars of Ming Dynasty...
"Hehehe."
Shen Lie let out a cold snort and carefully sorted out the manuscript of handicrafts and science and technology works originally recorded in "Zhou Li".
Then he handed it back to the gray-haired old craftsman.
now.
Shen Lie's eyes once again flashed with a faint cold light.
Who is afraid that the people of the Ming Dynasty will practice martial arts, who is afraid that the Ming army will have enough to eat, and who is reading the books of sages from above, but regards the handicraft skills passed down by the ancestors as strange skills and ingenuity.
Who is afraid that the Ming Navy will build a sail warship and set sail...
this moment.
Shen Lie thought a lot.
The night is already deep.
The craftsmen were still working day and night, but Shen Lie couldn't hold on any longer, so he stood up from the big bluestone and walked towards his horse with slightly heavy steps.
Turn over.
Mount your horse.
After leaving the smoky valley, we returned to the independent courtyard halfway up the mountain and walked into Lady Bai's boudoir.
Shen Lie fell down on the soft bed and fell asleep.
The moon is twilight.
Bai Zhenzhen, who was awakened, turned around and looked at her fiancé-in-law, who had a smoky face and was exhausted. The dark eyebrows on his exquisite little melon-shaped face were slightly wrinkled.
She felt a little distressed.
Then he stretched out his soft jade arms, hugged Ai Lang into his arms, and said softly: "Take a rest when you are tired. You often run back and forth from Tongzhou Pier to Tianjin Wei like this, and your iron body cannot bear it. "
Shen Lie let out a sleepy sound.
"Um."
Silent in the middle of the night.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed.
The Dutch craftsman was not bragging. With the power provided by the keel waterwheel, he actually thinned the hundred-forged fine iron and made the folding lifting lugs he boasted about.
It's actually very delicate.
Shen Lie stood in the valley workshop with his hands behind his back, looking at the mysterious forging patterns on the parts of the lightweight carriage, and then at the Dutch craftsman with a flattering look on his face.
I couldn't help but touch my nose.
This forging inscription is the trace left by the advanced Western quenching technology.
This thing.
It should be the prototype of the legendary non-independent suspension. Early versions of car suspension systems seemed to be like this.
I didn't expect that in the hands of this Dutch craftsman, it could be built so easily.
now.
Shen Lie felt very unhappy, but he quickly cheered up. Ming Dynasty's science and technology hadn't fallen behind yet, or...
Not many are behind, and there is still time to catch up.
"OK."
Shen Lie waved his hand and said calmly: "Put it on."
After fulfilling the promise of a generous reward and solving the problem of suspension and shock absorption, the speed of building the carriage suddenly accelerated, and what followed was the dazzlingly complex carving technique.
Late March.
Early April.
The sun rises from the east as usual.
However, the temperature has risen significantly. By noon, the thick winter clothes are no longer suitable for wearing. The military households, craftsmen, young ladies and young wives in Weizhong have changed into light clothes.
The busy work began.
Tianjin Zuowei is adjacent to Haihe River.
There is sufficient water source.
Farmyard manure was applied in advance, large areas of potatoes and sweet potatoes were successfully sown, and some high-value vegetables began to be planted on a large scale.
Everything seemed so prosperous.
The keel waterwheel that had been running for a long time in the valley workshop also stopped temporarily, and the clanking sound of iron work disappeared.
Placed in front of Shen Lie were several horse-drawn carriage samples, including two-wheeled and four-wheeled, Chinese and Western, and even a wheelbarrow.
Of course.
The most eye-catching one was the large four-wheel carriage equipped with non-independent suspension. Although it was extraordinary in appearance, the high cost also made Shen Lie's heart bleed.
can only say.
The only disadvantage of good things is that they are expensive.
No wonder this thing is not popular in Europe, even the wood and iron materials, plus the labor costs required for making and carving, as well as the cost of building hydraulic machinery.
All the money he had obtained through extortion money from the capital was almost spent.
aside.
Bai Guangen and his daughter, as well as a kind of left-back general, also gathered together and whispered: "What kind of thing is this?"
"Not sure."
Although it is unclear.
But it looks very impressive.
Only Shen Lie was determined.
in mind.
Involuntarily, some scenes from the beautiful western blockbusters emerged, in which people driving large carriages were galloping crazily in the wilderness of western North America.
A picture of gunmen hiding in carriages with their waists crouched, shooting wildly at the gangster cavalry outside through the shooting holes.
"Someone is coming!"
Then Shen Lie waved his hand and said softly: "Horse!"
Four big black horses were harnessed.
But here comes the problem.
Shen Lie looked around and found that the coachman could not be found at all. It seemed that... all the disciples in Wei Zhong looked embarrassed and had no confidence in this newly built car.
People.
There is always a fear of unfamiliar things.
And no one knows how to control this thing.
Shen Lie had no choice but to turn his attention to the Western craftsmen, but the Western craftsmen's eyes also flickered, and they did not dare to look directly at his burning eyes.
Who knows if the few pieces of fine iron stacked together are reliable? If it suddenly breaks while the carriage is running at a high speed, the driver will die or his skin will peel off.
then.
Shen Lie had no choice but to turn his attention to the Dutch craftsman responsible for making the folding lifting ears, and a smile appeared on his heroic face.
"How about... you come and try?"
The Dutch craftsman looked troubled.
Shen Lie had no choice but to resort to the old method. There must be a brave man under a big reward. Don't worry about the money at this time, just when he was planning to offer a big reward to find someone to test drive.
A woman's cold snort came to my ears.
"Hmph...a bunch of cowards!"
The words fell.
Then I saw a red female figure flying out like a butterfly.
Everyone's eyes were filled with flowers.
Then I saw the fluttering butterfly turning over with a neat kite, landing firmly on the carriage, and then stretched out its slender hands to pull up the reins.
It's Bai Zhenzhen
"Why?"
Everyone in Wei was shocked.
Several elders shouted, "Zhenzhen, what are you going to do?"
"Come down quickly!"
Shen Lie was startled and shouted quickly: "Get down here!"
This bitch is such a tiger.
I'm really sorry for her charming appearance.
If you know how to drive, just dare to pull the reins!
But this time.
It was already too late to stop her. As he watched, the four-wheeled carriage exuding a sense of technology had slowly started to drive under the control of Bai Zhenzhen.
