Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 134
But Wang Zebang felt very strange: "Jichun Craftsman's Union? Is it a major event attended by top craftsmen from the Seven Kingdoms?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized: "That's right, the public loser's Jichun craftsman union election was held in Julu this year, but the public loser has always looked down on our Ye country, thinking that Ye country has no skilled craftsmen, and they are again this time. Why did you specially send an osmanthus letter to invite us?"

He prefers that the public loser knows about Gong Shulan's death, and intends to make use of the issue to lure you into the urn, and do something about it to get it back.

Wang Zebang didn't know how many people knew about Zheng Quchi's killing of Gongshulan, but the general on his side sealed everyone's mouths and did not allow it to be revealed that "Sang Xuanqing" did it. bear the consequences.

However, since Gongshulan and Gongshu had secret means of communication, perhaps it would be impossible to hide this matter.

Besides, the "Osmanthus osmanthus letter" that was invited did not go directly to King Ye, but was sent directly to the camp. What does this unusual behavior mean?
Yu Wencheng spoke slowly: "This shows that he is not interested in drinking."

Did he realize it belatedly, too?

But it's a pity, even if you are a step late in the end, you will never have the chance to make up for the mistakes you made in your selfishness and ignorance.

Because, he would not give Gongshu Jiruo this chance.

Yu Wensheng looked at the "Osmanthus osmanthus letter" in his hand, lifted it and moved it to the copper tree fire lamp, intending to burn it, but at the last moment, he stopped suddenly.

There was an inexplicable fire in his heart that burned away all his patience and calmness, made him restless, shaded by willows, and leaves of resentment overflowed his eyelashes.

The corners of his dark lips curled up, and the flickering flames reflected in his eyes, like a beast choosing to devour someone: "My people~ if you think about it, they are all coveted, but he still wants to snatch them?"

Wang Zebang was startled: "General?"

Withdrawing the "Osmanthus osmanthus letter", Yu Wensheng smiled: "Since he dares to invite, then I will naturally dare to go, I just hope he will not regret it in the end."

"Am I really going? But, but this requires a work of sufficient quality and skill to reach the competition level, in order to enter the Jichun Craftsman's Guild, but we..."

Wang Zebang hesitated to speak. When it came to practical difficulties, he really wanted to persuade the general earnestly. Can we be more realistic?Now that they've gone, I'm afraid it's true that Ye Kingdom doesn't even have a decent craftsman.

Other countries have joked that ten craftsmen in Ye State are not worth one craftsman in Beiyuan State.

Although these words are a bit exaggerated, one must know that the Jichun Craftsmanship Union held every three years is not a time for their Beiyuan Kingdom to "show off its grand plans", and it is also a time for their Ye Kingdom to try their best to shrink back, and they are absolutely unwilling to participate to save money. When you want to lose face and go abroad.

Every year, only some wild craftsmen from Ye State participate. The official side never sends a hundred workers to participate. The emphasis is on a "mystery". As long as it is bad enough, no one can catch our sore feet laugh at.

"Could it be that a group of wastes are raised for nothing?"

Yu Wensheng refers to the group of craftsmen in his camp who are "busy as hell every day, but can't make any decent works at all".

Seeing that the general wanted to seek bad luck from the craftsman group again, Wang Zebang quickly changed his words: "General, but the Jichun craftsman's union is only a month away, and my subordinates are afraid that they will be late if they start preparations now."

"It's not necessary to enter the finals, I'm not so blind that I can't see how much they are worth, but they can't make a stepping stone?" Yu Wensheng glanced at him with a smile.

A cruel and playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Knowing that the general's patience was running out, Wang Zebang immediately didn't dare to talk any more nonsense.

He said sternly: "At any rate, they are the top craftsmen in our country of Ye. The subordinates think that there should be no big problem. I will immediately tell them to stop other things at hand and concentrate on making crafts for joining the Jichun craftsman union."

Although Wang Zebang said that the problem was not big, in fact, he silently sympathized with it in his heart, craftsmen, for the rest of these days, you can only ask for blessings.

Hegou Village

Recently, Zheng Quchi didn't go anywhere, and has been resting at home recuperating from his injuries.

Yu Wensheng treated her with the best wound medicine, and in order to prevent her from leaving scars, he also specially entrusted someone to deliver the Huayu Yuji Ointment from Ye Palace, which is priceless.

After the scabs on her body had scabbed off, she applied Huafu Yuji Ointment for half a month, and no scars would be left.

Zheng Quchi's "bone softening technique" also lasted a day, and she found that it would help the injury to heal faster and strengthen her body.

Zheng Quchi was not an idle person, she was used to being busy, and when she stopped suddenly, she felt uncomfortable.

But now that Yu Wensheng asked her to recover from her injury before returning to work, she couldn't just lie at home like this all the time.

Or, plan the money-making plan she had considered before?

To make a luxury horse-drawn carriage that can subvert the cognition of this era?
Zheng Quchi has always been strong in action, with a whim, many inspirations and ideas popped up in his mind, and he did it as soon as he said it!
In fact, she has long wanted to build a particularly awesome car.

For one thing, she doesn’t know how to ride a horse, and she has to rely on someone else to take care of her every time she rides a horse. Moreover, after riding for a long time, her buttocks hurt, and the tender flesh on her crotch is also worn off. At that time, she would think, if she could It would be nice to have a car that is comfortable and convenient for long distances.

In order to be able to build a car that satisfies her, she visited the existing car dealerships in Fu County.

Good, bad, two rounds, four rounds, she has seen them all.

It is found that there are very few domestically made cars, almost rare, and most of them are "foreign trade cars".

Especially the cars from Beiyuan country are of the best quality, but they are extremely expensive. Then there are the cars from Nanchen country. It's also tongue-in-cheek.

But the car seller said that this kind of car is not the most expensive and the best, because in the countryside, they dare not sell top-notch products, for fear that they will not be able to sell the goods. The cars sold in the towns of the National People’s Congress are called sky-high prices. ah.

is it?

Zheng Quchi looked around and found that these were far from meeting her requirements.

Technology leads to craftsmanship. She admits that the craftsmanship of these carriages is indeed remarkable, especially the carriages of Beiyuan Kingdom.

But the disadvantages that it should exist still exist and have not been resolved.

"Ruler, what are you thinking about?" Brother Sang picked up half a bucket of water and poured it into the tank, put down the bucket, and walked over: "You have been squatting there for a long time, be careful of your wounds."

In order not to make Brother Sang suspect that she had been staying at home, she lied and said that her shoulder blade was injured on the construction site and she needed to recuperate for a few days.

Since it was a girl's family, the elder brother needed to avoid suspicion properly, so he didn't check how her injuries were, and could only tell "Liu Fengmian" over and over again, telling him to carefully apply the medicine for her at night, and not to be negligent.

"It's okay. Brother, I want to make a car." She squatted there, took a wooden stick and stroked it on the ground.

When Brother Sang heard it, he felt that she was simply whimsical: "Don't think about it all day long. Is the car so easy to make? You know how advanced skills are needed to build a carriage. Don't think you can build it. If you know how to build a city wall, you can build a car out of thin air.”

"My good brother, I don't have diamonds, and I don't do porcelain work. I just lack some experience. If I have an old carpenter to help me, I can definitely make a stunning horse-drawn cart." She was full of confidence. Full.

Seeing her like that, Brother Sang didn't want to hit her, but told the truth: "Carpenters with decades of experience dare not say that they can build cars. Carpenters who can build cars build cars behind closed doors. They are afraid that others will learn their family skills. You Ah, where can I find a skilled old carpenter to help you, if he understands, he can build the car himself, so why should he help you?"

"It's different... Forget it, brother, I have nothing to do anyway, you can think about it yourself."

"Don't squat down, Yaomei will come back and see later, and she will follow suit." Brother Sang reprimanded her.

Zheng Quchi muttered: "Okay, I just think it's more down-to-earth to squat down and think about things like this, and I won't drift away just thinking about it."

Let’s not mention the craftsmanship for the time being. First of all, to build a car, it is natural to design it first. She pulled out many ancient and modern materials from her mind, and prepared the ones that she thinks are suitable for use and the technical conditions can be achieved.

She intends to create an eight-seater + carriage that can be overloaded but travels lightly, yes, it is equivalent to the carrying capacity of a small van.

It is not difficult to widen and enlarge the carriage. What is difficult is to have strong load-bearing capacity and brisk driving. This is a test of the designer's technology.

Generally speaking, if you want a carriage with a strong load-bearing capacity, you have to use a four-wheeled carriage, but you have never seen two-wheeled carriages and heavy-duty vehicles in various countries.

However, without considering the bearings, the friction of the four wheels is greater than that of the two-wheel steering device, which also means that the four-wheel steering force is poor. All current four-wheeled carriages are basically four wheels assembled on the carriage through the shaft. On the frame, the two front wheels cannot be rotated, so the flexibility and even the stability are insufficient. Once encountering uneven roads or running fast, it is easy to overturn.

Generally, two-wheeled carriages are more flexible, can pull people and things, and are also adaptable to roads. They can be used in various complex terrains, short and long distances, but their shortcomings are also obvious. Use it to pull rice, stones, etc. , wood, etc., it can't bear it.

But the car she wanted to build had to break this rule.

She not only needs the load and comfort of four wheels, but also the flexibility of a two-wheeled vehicle that can freely adjust the direction...

This problem is not difficult to solve. If you want a four-wheeled carriage to meet this requirement, you must first create a steering differential to solve the four-wheel steering problem.

This only needs a bogie, and the four-wheel vehicle can turn freely.

Zheng Quchi stood up, ran back to the room, took out a piece of paper, and started drawing on it with a homemade wicker charcoal pencil.

First, the front two wheels of the four-wheeled vehicle are mounted on one frame, the rear two wheels are mounted on the other frame, and the rear frame is mounted on the front frame and connected by a vertical shaft, so that , which is equivalent to a combination of two two-wheeled vehicles.

After drawing a rough outline of the car body with a set of simple lines (the exterior design has not been considered yet, so there is only a square frame), Zheng Quchi paused again.

"This solves the steering problem, and then it's time to design the stability of the body..."

You must know that the longer and wider the car body, the easier it is to shake and bump when running, because most of the roads today are still rural dirt roads, and the ground is either potholes or uneven stones of different sizes.

When the stiff wooden wheel runs over abruptly, the sour feeling of being thrown up and down is gone.

Although a light two-wheeled carriage can cope with this kind of road conditions, the people in the carriage still suffer the same punishment, even if they are covered with thick mattresses, even if there is a "fu rabbit" to slow down part of it, but if they change Became a more serious quad...

"What about the shock absorber at the bottom of the car? By the way, I remembered, it's springs, support frames, fixing parts..."

Started another blueprint, this time took a little bit of effort, after all, it is an important internal structure, and every part of the components needs to be fine enough to be discernible to the naked eye, so that it is convenient for craftsmen to build according to the drawing.

This busy work lasted until the evening. As soon as Yu Wensheng came back from his work, he saw her diligently drawing at his desk, his hands and mind kept busy.

Brother Sang came to deliver the meal, and seeing Yu Wensheng standing by the door, he asked, "Is she still busy?"

"What is the curved ruler doing?"

"It's about making a car. She has been like this since she was a child. If she wants to do something, she will be fascinated. Once she gets in it, she can't get out. She will not give up until she succeeds. This is her nature. , just like my father..."

Yu Wensheng was not in the mood to listen to his chatter, and asked directly: "Has she been like this all day?"

"No, I forgot to sleep and eat." Brother Sang said angrily, and handed the bowls and chopsticks in his hand to him: "Since you are back, send it to her, don't ask her to draw anymore, she will just do it at noon." After two mouthfuls of food, you must ask her to eat all of this bowl tonight."

Although Yu Wensheng didn't agree, he went in with a bowl.

He first took a look at the completed blueprints on her case. There were all kinds of finely disassembled parts, as well as neat numbers and listed data, which were mysterious and profound.

He didn't understand it, but he knew that she was serious and focused on building an unusual carriage.

And... there should be some results.

"Quchi, are you hungry?"

He sat beside him, and asked her with delicate and gentle eyes.

"Ah, you're back?" Zheng Quchi raised her head, just in time to see the rice in his hand, she frowned: "Eat first, I'll heat it up for myself after I'm done."

After speaking, she continued to work hard.

Finally, her coherent thoughts did not want to be interrupted, so she had to calculate this set of data today.

Since the upper limit of the load-bearing capacity of the wooden structure is limited, the size of the wheel, the choice of wood, the need to add iron bars, the number of spokes and rivets must be calculated in advance.

"I've already eaten in the camp." He looked at her serious and focused side face, her moist red apple cheeks, her small mouth flattened, thinking that she would not remember to eat until this trip was over.

So he held it up, took a bite and fed it to her mouth.

"Open your mouth."

Zheng Quchi turned his head and glanced at him. It was probably just a reflex action, and he turned back without thinking at all.

She opened her mouth, and he served the food into her mouth mouthful after mouthful, without a trace of impatience during the whole process.
