Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 144 Player Carriage
Zeng Mu has just received a notification from the system that, as an outstanding farming player last month, he has obtained a new territory.

In the village office, Zeng Mu smiled as he watched the increasingly busy post office.

This was built by himself, and Zeng Mu felt a sense of accomplishment every time he saw the increasingly vibrant Yixiali.

This is the sense of accomplishment that farming players have, the feeling of watching their territory develop step by step.

The railway between Shazhou and Guazhou has been put on hold temporarily, but the railway between Shazhou and Dangjin Pass is still under construction.

Rivets and springs were the two high-profile products selected by Zeng Mu back then. In addition to being sold to the railway bureau under construction, a businessman and player tinkered with the shock-absorbing carriage.

The carriage has already existed for a long time, but the current wooden carriage does not have a shock absorber, and the speed cannot be too fast, otherwise it will be knocked apart by the bumpy road.

So the current horse-drawn carriage, which is called a carriage, is actually not much faster than walking in the wild.

The main function of the carriage is to transport goods. If you want to go fast, you still need to ride a horse.

But for players, riding a horse is not a comfortable mode of transportation.

Riding a horse requires full concentration, and you will fall off the horse if you are not careful. At the same time, you must control the direction and speed of the horse, and you need to avoid obstacles.

Although the feeling of riding a sprint is very cool, even as good as a car race, but riding a horse for a long-distance trip is not a good experience.

Moreover, the difficulty of riding a horse is so high, so players cannot hang up when riding a horse, and must remain online.

This is undoubtedly a kind of torture, so the player carriage came into being.

This player named Che Yang is an automobile engineer in the real world.

However, in "The Wind and Cloud of the Tang Dynasty", it is difficult for an automobile engineer to play any role. Che Yang is a four-test player and can only join the player's construction team to be an honorable corvee, oh not a civil worker.

After working hard and accumulating some contribution points, Che Yang left the construction team and chose to open a small workshop next to the Dashuixia Iron Works.

As a civil dog, Che Yang often travels to various places, and he found that many players complained about long-distance travel.

There are also many players complaining on the forum that long-distance travel cannot be hosted, and horseback riding is too tiring and dangerous.

There was even a tragic case of an unlucky player who tripped over a wooden root because he was distracted while riding a horse. This player was thrown from the horse's back and broke his neck.

This tragic case has become a warning joke on the forum, which is used to warn players who have just learned to ride a horse to drive carefully.

Since riding a horse is so unsafe, then Che Yang saw a business opportunity, a high-speed carriage!
Ordinary wooden carriages are a little faster than walking, which is unacceptable to players.

So if an iron frame is used as the chassis and a carriage made of harder iron wheels, can the speed be increased?

Che Yang immediately started experimenting. He tapped in the workshop next to the Dashuixia Iron Works, and finally made an experimental carriage.

After experiencing it personally, Che Yang didn't feel good.

Because there is no rubber, the carriage is very bumpy.

The chassis of the carriage is an iron frame, and then a wooden carriage is installed on the iron frame.

Sitting in the carriage, his buttocks were really uncomfortable. After running for a few miles, Che Yang felt that his body was about to fall apart.

Although this kind of carriage can be hosted, the "game" of "Da Tang Feng Yun" is very real, and there are many negative states, and they will last for a while before they disappear.

After riding, there will be "motion sickness" and "cracked buttocks" debuff carriages, I am afraid that few players will ride.

Che Yang soon launched an improved carriage.

It just so happened that Zeng Mu's Yixiali produced qualified springs and posted it on the forum, and Che Yang immediately contacted Zeng Mu.

Zeng Mu is also very interested in this project, and he expressed that Yixiali is willing to invest in his carriage factory.

Naturally, Che Yang couldn't wish for it. The contribution points he had accumulated were almost used up. Being able to get someone to invest in the stock was a solution to his urgent need.

And being able to get the cooperation of a lord player is the best choice for a solo player like him.

Yixiali took a stake in Cheyang's carriage factory and provided springs to Cheyang's carriage for free.

And Che Yang's income from selling the carriage will be distributed to Yixiali.

After installing the spring and damping system on the wheels, Che Yang's carriage 2.0 was born.

This time, the experience of the carriage is much better than that of the previous generation. With the shock absorbing spring, although it is not very comfortable, at least it can travel for a long time without stacking debuffs.

The carriage can carry eight people, and the driver sits on the roof to control the horses.

The speed of this carriage is naturally not as fast as riding a horse, but it is also much faster than walking.

More importantly, players can host on-hook in the carriage without worrying about security issues.

Now that there are more players, more players need to travel long distances. After Che Yang's carriage was launched, it immediately became very popular among players.

Originally, Che Yang was going to sell the carriage directly, but Zeng Mu stopped him.

"If you sell a carriage, it's just a one-time income, and there are so many players. Although there are technical thresholds for making a carriage, the principle is very simple and the difficulty is not too high. Soon there will be imitation players."

Che Yang nodded. There are indeed several player workshops in Dashui Gorge, and they are also developing the same carriage.

"What do you think, old Zeng?"

Zeng Mu said: "If you want to make more money, selling horse-drawn carriages is definitely not an option. I suggest setting up a passenger transportation company."

"Passenger company?"

"Yes, we can train coachmen in the post, buy some horses, and set up a public carriage company to provide long-distance transportation services between cities."

Che Yang's eyes lit up all of a sudden. Developing a carriage by himself is considered a first-mover advantage. If he directly establishes a passenger transportation company, he can turn his first-mover advantage into a monopoly advantage.

Just do what you say, the horses in Shazhou City are divided into war horses and rough horses.

War horses are strategic materials, all of which are excellent Western Region horses or Mongolian horses, and can only be exchanged for contribution points.

But the carriage naturally doesn't need such a good horse, so Zeng Mu and Che Yang bought the poor horse.

Then they began to train horsemen in Zeng Mu's post. Zeng Mu and Che Yang's idea was to first open the line from the Guazhou official road in the capital of Shazhou. This road is flat and most suitable for horse-drawn carriages.

Not long ago, the player's first passenger transportation company was established in Yixiali, and there was finally a fixed passenger transportation line between Shazhou and Guazhou.

This kind of horse-drawn carriage that rides comfortably and can be hosted on-hook is immediately welcomed by players. It is much more comfortable than riding a horse!

After completing this investment, Zeng Mu received a notification from the system that he was going to take office in the new territory of Xizhou.
