If it were something else, he might not be able to distract himself from it.
But if it comes to mechanical skills, he and his wife Huang Yueying can help, and even the Huang family of Xiangyang clan can help a lot.
So soon, when Liu Bei brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to receive the first batch of steel weapons sent by Jiang Xia, the wooden ox and horse had been successfully made.
Crack Crack Crack Crack…
When Zhuge Liang personally put the clockwork on, the huge wooden ox and horse slowly started, and walked slowly along the road for a while, everyone was shocked.
"This is this, this is the military advisor, is this the wooden ox and flowing horse?"
"No need to eat grass or other food, this is amazing!"
"I don't know how far you can go in one breath, but if it's not far, the effect will be greatly reduced!"
"It's amazing, the military advisor is really amazing!"
"All things like this are done, so our logistics pressure will be much smaller in the future and our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved!"
"Look, I just don't know how long the wooden ox and horse can last?"
“…”
I don’t know if it was stimulated by Jiang Xia, but after seeing the wooden ox and horse that Zhuge Liang made, Liu Bei waved his hand and built it on a large scale, without testing its limits of various functions.
Fortunately, the wooden ox and horse that Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying and his wife jointly figured out may have a bit bad appearance, but the internal structure is stable. As long as they are not deliberately damaged or inferior as good ones, they can last for a long time.
Materials from high-level worlds are quite powerful.
As a result, there were suddenly a lot of wooden ox and horses in Liu Bei's army in Xiangyang and Nanjun, which caused a sensation.
Unlike the Jiangxia Army's "unusual" or not attracting attention, Liu Bei's army's popularity and exposure are much greater.
After all, Liu Da'er has been fighting since the Yellow Turbans started and has not yet died.
Even the world's number one prince, Lao Cao, the overlord of the Central Plains, regarded him as an equal opponent, so he naturally received more attention.
In the military camps in Xiangyang and Nanjun, many strange-looking and tall and burly wooden ox and horses suddenly appeared, and naturally they were noticed by spies from various families at the first time.
When spies from various families witnessed the wooden ox and horses, and could consign logistics supplies without fodder, they could walk for a long time, and the shock in their hearts was imaginable.
Not to mention other forces, Liu Qi, who was in charge of Jiangxia's prefect's residence, was stunned at first and then suddenly reacted.
"Tsk, if Zhuge Liang hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't know that I was in a blind spot in my thinking!"
Liu Qi felt funny. In terms of understanding the mechanism, he was definitely better than Zhuge Liang.
After all, with the complete inheritance of mechanism technology in the main world, as long as the appropriate power source is used, even if the mechanism city in the Qin Dynasty is created, it is not a problem.
Since Zhuge Liang was able to get wooden ox and horses to transport logistics supplies, he could also get the transportation tools of the agency to facilitate the use of military and civilians under his rule.
For example, things like transporting trucks in government agencies, transporting passenger buses in government agencies.
With Liu Qi's mechanical skills, relying solely on pure gear maneuver, manpower and animal power, it can completely solve various transportation needs for short-range and medium-range.
Before, he fell into a blind spot in his mind, thinking that if he wanted to develop public transportation, he had to wait for the train to appear. But now after Zhuge Liang reminded him that the agency transport vehicles were also suitable.
At this moment, his heart was open and all kinds of ideas and thoughts emerged...
A few days later, a new thing suddenly appeared in Xiling City where the prefect of Jiangxia was located, which aroused the curiosity of the vendors on the street.
It is a kind of mechanism vehicle that can be used for thirty people to ride, with a large carriage powered by human-powered gears.
The carriage is six or seven meters long, two or three meters wide, and one meter high.
There are three seats side by side inside, with a total of ten rows of seats, and there are considerable gaps between each seat.
This so-called machine bus takes a pretty straight road from the city gate to another city gate.
There are ten round trips a day, and each ride requires a five-zhu coin.
As soon as this thing appeared, it immediately became the scenic spot of Xiling City.
At the beginning, in order to taste the freshness, many people in Xiling even got on the car and felt it.
It is indeed convenient and fast, for ordinary people.
Soon, the so-called public buses have become a common sight in Xiling City and are not very eye-catching.
However, because of the existence of public buses in the agency, the streets of Xiling City seem a bit narrow, and the local county government has already planned to expand the roads in the city.
Seeing that the buses in the city were running well, Liu Qi waved his hand and a passenger station appeared outside the city, starting a short-distance passenger transport attempt.
It is still powered by the human resources agency, with a passenger capacity of forty people, and a maximum distance of fifteen miles, which is enough to cover most of the villages near Xiling City.
With the emergence of government buses and short-distance passenger transport, the speed of communication in Xiling suddenly accelerated, and the already prosperous economy seemed to add fuel to firewood.
The convenience of transportation and the increase in communication speed have also steadily increased the control of the prefect and county governments over towns outside the city.
Later, the prefect's agency car factory launched small freight in the city and short-distance freight in the city, which suddenly became a hot commodity in the eyes of merchants and was almost sold out as soon as it was launched.
Soon, outside Xiling City and the official roads outside the city were filled with various types of government vehicles.
If these machines and vehicles were not unique in shape, they were all horns with bells and there was no pungent tail gas. I am afraid that time travelers would suddenly come over and think they had traveled to a modern world.
The increase in logistics speed has made Xiling City, which is already prosperous, soon far ahead, leaving other counties in Jiangxia County far behind.
Jiangxia County has always been relatively low-key. Even if he took over the four counties in Jingnan in one go, it did not attract too much attention from Lao Cao and Sun Quan, and it was not as eye-catching as Liu Bei.
However, as the Jiangxia army's uniform replacement ended and the continuous stream of steel products flooded the market, the Jiangxia army's combat effectiveness and strength continued to improve. The senior executives of Liubei Group, who are in charge of Xiangyang, did not ignore Jiangxia's confidence.
Therefore, when government buses and government passenger and freight vehicles suddenly appeared in Xiling City, where Jiangxia Prefect's Mansion was located, Xiangyang knew it as soon as possible.
Because Jiangxia did not restrict outsiders from purchasing, Xiangyang immediately got a government bus and government passenger transport.
Liu Bei and others just saw it strange, but Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.
"I don't expect that Liu Jiangxia's attainments in mechanical skills are so profound!"
He saw many things. Although the government bus and the government passenger transport require manpower as power, it is much better than the wooden ox and flowing horse he made.
At least the passenger capacity and speed are much stronger...
As for human power, the normal young and strong world at high levels is almost a thousand kilograms of strength, and its endurance is quite good.
At least, the amount of effort spent on board the wheel is nothing.
"It's just some strange things, why should the military advisor care too much?"
Seeing that Zhuge Liang's face was not very good, Liu Bei said disapprovingly: "This thing should not be difficult to imitate, right?"
"Lord, have you forgotten the wooden ox and the flowing horse?"

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said, "This thing is actually similar to a wooden ox and a flowing horse!"
"But the wooden ox and the horses don't need human power to drive it!"
"But the carrying capacity of wooden ox and horses is limited and the speed is not very good. There is a big difference compared to these institutions and vehicles!"
"What do military advisors think?"
"We must imitate these agencies and vehicles in large quantities, which are very convenient for both military and civilian use. As for wooden ox and horses, they are specially used for military use!"
"That's great, then please consultant!"
“…”
Zhuge Liang's actions were very fast, and with his wife Huang Yueying's strong support, he could easily imitate the government bus and government bus.
But during the experiment, I quickly noticed the problem.
It’s not that the quality of the government vehicles is incorrect, but that the road conditions in Xiangyang do not allow a large number of government vehicles to pass through.
This is really...
It is because of Zhuge Liang's mind and spirit, he has the urge to vomit blood.
At this time, there was no rubber in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The material that wrapped the wheels was found by Liu Qi himself, which was an elastic material.
Walking on flat and compact ground is not a problem, but once the ground is in bad condition, the loss will be quite serious.
Just when Zhuge Liang was having a headache because he could not use a large number of imitations of the machine cars, Liu Qi, who was in charge of the prefect of Jiangxia, also received accurate information.
The movement of Xiangyang imitating the vehicle of the agency is quite serious, and the Liubei Group did not deliberately conceal it, so it is easy for Jiangxia to find out the situation.
"It's too much, how can Xiangyang do this?"
Compared to expected, Liu Qi, who had a calm face, and the emotions of the officials of the prefect's palace were not so peaceful.
After confirming the authenticity of the news, the officials of the prefect's office couldn't help but yell in front of Liu Qi.
"That's right, the imitation of the machine vehicle of the manufacturing door is too much!"
"Eunuch, we must have some reactions about what we say this time, otherwise what should we do if the other party gets used to it in the future?"
"We don't imitate their wooden ox and horses. We have the ability to figure out new mechanisms and tools by ourselves!"
"I'm afraid it's not that easy. As far as someone knows, the affairs of the governments and matters in Xiangyang are basically dependent on Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying, so how can they get busy?"
"Then you can't imitate it so blatantly. If they make some changes in some aspects of the system and vehicle, they won't be so angry!"
"I don't know how we should deal with it?"
“…”
After a while of discussion, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Qi.
"It's OK to ask, but don't make the wording too intense, just be more tactful!"
"To be honest, it's Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and horse, which made someone react and improve the speed of the production vehicle!"
"Anyway, the supply of government vehicles here is in short supply. As for the situation in Xiangyang, there is no need to pay too much attention!"
"Please note that Xiangyang should not ask the craftsmen from our government agencies to poach. These are the talents we have finally cultivated. They will not be allowed to flow out in a short period of time!"
