"Where are the thermal power plants in other prefectures and counties?" Zhao Xu asked again.

The official of the Ministry of Industry thought about it and said, "The craftsmen who came to the thermal power plants to participate in the construction and study of thermal power plants in each state went back half a month ago. They have basically mastered the main technical difficulties and can independently build the buildings in the thermal power plants. According to the plan, the capitals of each state will build thermal power plants at the same time, followed by industrially enriched counties."

Zhao Xu knew it.

Zou Rong did not 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, he had not made any major progress yet, so he did not report it.

"The thermal power plant is of great importance. We must not abandon the quality of the mistakes. Don't do it." Zhao Xu reminded him and rode his horse back.

The thermal power plants now have only empty shelves and nothing to see.

Leaving from the thermal power plant, Zhao Xu went straight to the R&D Institute.

Last time Qu Sheng transported the rubber back.

In this way, Dasong has rubber products.

With rubber products, some goods that were not produced before can be produced can be produced.

He went to the research and development institute.

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

"Why, I'm so happy to see me come back?" Zhao Xu joked.

"We are naturally happy when Your Highness comes back, but what makes us even happier during this period is the rubber products." Qu Sheng said.

After saying that, he couldn't wait to lead Zhao Xu to a chemistry laboratory.

"Please look at your highness. Now the glass instruments can be connected with rubber tubes, and experiments will be more convenient in the future." Qu Sheng looked excited.

Chemical experiments, especially those about gases, often require conduits as channels for gases.

When there were no rubber tubes before, they could only make special glassware with long vent tubes.

Now, only standardized vessels are needed to be manufactured and connected through rubber tubes.

Even experiments that could not be conducted before can be easily completed.

Wang Chongze sighed, "As Your Highness said, the change of rubber to industry is really not a little bit. After Qu Sheng turned raw rubber into rubber products, the conveyor belts of the steam engine and electric motor were replaced with rubber belts, which is much easier to use than cowhide belts that are difficult to shape."

After pausing, he said again, "And now the generator's wires are replaced for insulated wires, which is much safer."

"In addition, after the news that rubber can make soles spread, merchants from shoemaking workshops flocked to us, and the price of rubber was also fryed. This time, His Highness went south and the rubber plantations he took were really equal to gold mines."

After saying that, Wang Chong laughed.

Zhao Xu was happy. He expected that the arrival of rubber would bring some changes to Dasong's industrial products.

Now, the change has begun.

"That's not the case, I never do a loser deal, but now I'm a waste of sending rubber to the soles, right?" Zhao Xu glanced at Wang Chong sideways.

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

As if he understood what Zhao Xu meant, Wang Chong smiled, "When did you ever disappoint your highness?"

He squeezed his eyes at the student beside him.

As the students left, a crisp ringtone rang.

When the student came back, there was a bicycle under his butt.

"What Your Highness wants is this?" Wang Chong was proud.

After Qu Sheng came back from transporting rubber, he immediately thought of the bicycle.

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 ride on them.

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

So he left the bicycle aside.

As soon as there was rubber this time, he immediately asked the spare parts workshop to make automatic gears, chains, frames, etc. for him, and specially created a bicycle.

If the King of Yan agrees, he will be able to prepare a bicycle workshop immediately.

"Well, this is almost the same." Zhao Xu smiled with satisfaction.

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

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

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

Wang Chong and Qu Sheng were both stunned.

In order to learn how to bike, the two of them fell several times and had their noses and faces swollen.

However, the King of Yan was familiar with the road and rode more easily than them.

Zhao Xu didn't notice the expressions of the two, but just circled around the yard to feel the performance of this bicycle.

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

This beam makes getting on the car difficult.

But the reason for this design is not because Zhao Xu does not understand the convenience of contemporary V-line structure.

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

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

This is also the reason why in addition to the beam, there is a basket in front of this bicycle and the seat behind the seat is also very long.
