Chapter nine hundred and sixty-eight ideas

"No, the car is comfortable to ride."

Zhao Xu took three rounds and braked the car in front of Wang Chong and Qu Sheng.

Wang Chong and Qu Sheng came to their senses at this time.

They wanted to ask the King of Yan why he could ride a bicycle, but they closed their mouths tacitly.

Compared to knowing how to ride bicycles, it seems strange that King Yan knows how to make bicycles.

They're fine if they're used to it.

"Your Highness, you don't have to keep your bicycle confidential in the future, right?" Wang Chong asked.

During this period, from bicycle manufacturing to testing, it was carried out secretly.

After mastering the riding skills of bicycles, he suddenly got used to the convenience of bicycles and couldn't wait to use bicycles in his daily life.

"Keep confidential? There is no need to keep this confidential." Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile.

However, we can't blame the two for being too careful.

Because the confidentiality measures of the R&D Institute are very strict, no new achievements can be exposed to the outside world without his permission.

Wang Chong was happy when he heard this, "Since that's the case, I will feel at ease and I can travel on a bicycle in the future."

"Then you should cooperate with the Industrial Department to get the bicycle workshop on the bicycle workshop. As for this bicycle, I will accept it with a smile." Zhao Xu smiled and rode the bicycle around again.

At the same time, a bold idea gradually took shape in his mind.

He was going to build a bicycle unit in the army.

During the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, the Prussian messengers began to use bicycles to deliver military orders on the battlefield.

Britain formed the first bicycle army at the same time. In the subsequent Boer War in South Africa and the Spanish-American War, they were always able to use high mobility to arrive at the battlefield one step ahead of other infantry.

Even during World War I and during World War II, bicycles were widely used in wars, and paratroopers also had special folding bicycles to act quickly behind enemy lines.

The German bicycle troops carrying anti-tank bazooka also urged a large number of Soviet tanks.

Even when time comes, bicycles still play a significant role in war.

During the Vietnam War of Independence, his country supported 20,000 modified bicycles in Vietnam.

Since bicycles could carry 200 to 300 kilograms of weight, they became a transportation weapon on the battlefield at that time, sending a large amount of food and ammunition to the front line, and the transportation efficiency was increased by 20 to 30 times.

It eventually helped the then Vietnamese guerrillas defeat the French.

So many examples ahead.

Zhao Xu naturally had to be moved.

A normal person can easily travel about 150 to 200 kilometers a day when riding.

And a slightly trained cyclist can ride 300 kilometers a day.

The army's speed of marching in the war has increased three times at once.

Most importantly, the bike can also carry weights.

In other words, soldiers can not only act as combat units, but also act as transportation units at the same time.

Obviously, this does not improve the efficiency of the war by a little bit.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but add, "You must increase the output of the bicycle, and then discuss with your father to design a bicycle for the army."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Chong was stunned when he heard the bicycle dedicated to the army, and then reacted and answered simply.

He didn't expect that this bicycle could also help the army.

This made him feel a sense of accomplishment soar.

Speaking of the construction of the bicycle workshop, Zhao Xu said, "I have just returned from the thermal power plant. The main building of the Ministry of Industry will be completed next summer. Will your equipment installation keep up?"

"Please rest assured to you this. Li Wei and the Industrial Department have built a generator workshop in Dongcheng. In order to promote electricity, he specially built three steam engine generator sets for the workshop. The entire workshop was powered on, with high production efficiency and equipment available on time." Wang Chong couldn't help but show an admiration when he spoke of Li Wei.

This kid is simply a desperate man.

I either stay in the laboratory or in the workshop all day.

His family told him that his wife was married, but he didn't have time to have a wedding night.

After drinking a glass of wine, he heard that the workshop's power line was malfunctioning, so he got up and ran away.

This is well known to everyone in the Research and Development Institute.

"That's good." Zhao Xu nodded, and he was also more at ease with Li Wei.

Thinking of the production of metal bullets and machine guns that year, he said: "Before the large thermal power plant is completed, steam engine power generation units will be widely promoted in various workshops to supply power to important workshops."

For him, this steam engine power generator is equivalent to a backup diesel generator in a modern factory.

In the excessive stage where electricity cannot be transported on a large scale, at least we can respond to the urgent situation.

After talking about bicycles and electricity, Zhao Xu instructed the two to gradually overcome the technology on the drawings in order according to the scientific and technological plan he gave.

The symbol of the Second Industrial Revolution is not only electricity, but also a large number of new technologies that have emerged.

He has handed over this technology to the R&D Institute.

The core of this technology is the machinery that Wang Chong is responsible for diesel, gasoline and other chemical technologies, internal combustion engines, steam turbines and other machinery.

Only by making these things out can Dasong completely open up the technical distance between him and the Western Land.

Just as the Western natives used muskets and cannons to crush the natives of the New World and crush them.

Only with this basis can he build Dasong's own global system.

However, he also knew that as the technology became more and more complex, even if it was imitated according to mature drawings, it would take longer and longer, after all, the machinery became more and more complicated.

At the same time, this requires the advancement of chemical industry and other industries and the cultivation of technical talents, which cannot be achieved overnight.

But in general, even if the time for developing a technology is extended, it will definitely be faster than the normal historical trajectory.

It may take ten or twenty years to develop major technologies, which may be solved in a year or two in the R&D institute.

"I will do my best to realize the new technologies one by one." Wang Chong and Qu Sheng looked at each other and said to Zhao Xu in unison.

The rubber incident has made the two realize that the chemical industry and the machinery industry are interdependent and cannot make progress independently.

Therefore, now the staff of the chemical laboratory and physics laboratory of the R&D Institute sit together every night to discuss technical difficulties, and the two work together to make breakthroughs.

"I am waiting for your good news." Zhao Xu chuckled softly.

After saying that, he rode his bicycle and headed out of the R&D Institute.

Xu Lie was startled and hurriedly called the guards, "Run, follow, follow."

The guards immediately disappeared, and Xu Lie tried his best to catch up with the bicycle.

Looking at the relaxed and comfortable expression of King Yan, he couldn't help but tsk in his heart and turned his eyes to the bicycle.

When the bicycle workshop is built secretly, you must get one to try it out first.
