Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

The fat official scratched his head, looking confused.

“If there were only two wheels, wouldn’t it mean that you would fall over if you rode on it?”

"That's right. The three-wheeled car is not stable even if it is three-wheeled. I'm afraid it can't even walk on the road, right?"

Other officials echoed the sentiment.

Chu Ze secretly smiled in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"Please rest assured, I have my own sense of discretion."

“You will be surprised when the finished car is actually made.”

Although everyone was doubtful, seeing that the prince looked confident, they didn't say much.

Chu Ze continued to explain the bicycle manufacturing process in detail to a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry.

"Please see, I specially selected the best steel to make the frame. It is both lightweight and extremely durable."

Chu Ze pointed at the drawings and talked nonstop.

"As for the two wheels, the diameters are exactly the same, smooth and rounded. The front fork is integrated with the handlebar, allowing for flexible steering."

Everyone listened with gusto and nodded frequently.

Chu Ze continued: "The most important thing is the pedals and the chain. The two are cleverly connected, which makes pedaling effortless and fast."

“With just one step, the whole car can move forward smoothly, just like riding on the clouds!”

The officials looked at each other with awe in their eyes.

"I never thought that just two wheels could contain such a mystery!"

Jia Shangshu said with emotion: "Your Majesty is really a genius!"

Chu Ze smiled and said nothing, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

Only he himself knows that these are just common sense. In the eyes of modern people, they are simply child's play.

But in this backward era, it is shocking enough.

At this time, the chubby official raised his hand and asked again.

"Prince Qi, I still have something unclear. The wheels of this wheel are made of steel. If you step on it, you will bump and bump very hard!"

"That's right!" Other officials also started talking about it.

"If the wheels are hard, your buttocks won't hurt to death when riding on the road?"

"Also, if the steel wheels roll on the dirt road, it will be difficult to move, right?"

Everyone expressed their doubts with each other.

Chu Ze secretly laughed in his heart, these people really don't know enough.

He said seriously: "Please see, although the wheels are made of steel, the hollow part is made of wood."

"The wood is flexible and can absorb shock. It can even be covered with a layer of high-quality cowhide on the outside, which is non-slip and wear-resistant."

"In this way, the riding comfort will be greatly improved, and even muddy roads can be easily handled."

All the officials suddenly realized it and all said hello.

"Wonderful! The combination of wood and cowhide is soft yet strong, hard yet soft, perfect!"

"Your Majesty is so farsighted that I never expected it!"

For a time, words of praise were flying throughout the room.

Chu Ze smiled faintly and waved his hand.

"You are so ridiculous. These are just a little bit of cleverness."

"The key is to hire the skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to make it a reality!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" an elderly craftsman assured, patting his chest.

"As long as you have the drawings in hand, you can build such a magical bicycle!" For a time, the yamen workshop was in full swing, and a group of officials and craftsmen were discussing non-stop.

"Good guy, this bicycle is really novel!" A young official exclaimed.

"That's right. What's going on in the prince's mind? Can you think of all this?" Another fat-bellied official echoed.

Yang Cai seemed a little hesitant and said: "This... although this thing is rare, it will be a bit troublesome to build, right?"

He looked at the old craftsmen around him with questioning eyes.

The leader of the old craftsmen stroked his gray beard and said thoughtfully: "Sir, as long as the prince's drawings are correct, there is nothing we can't make!"

"That's right!" Other craftsmen also nodded.

"Since the prince can come up with such an exquisite design, the drawings must be well thought out. As long as you follow the steps, you will definitely be able to create something!"

When everyone heard this, they all became energetic.

Yang Cai also slowly smiled and said to the old craftsman: "Then I'll help you craftsmen. This is the prince's order, so you must do your best!"

"Don't worry, sir." The old craftsman stroked his chest and assured: "We have more than a dozen craftsmen working together and working together. I guarantee that we can build the bicycle that the prince wants in the shortest possible time!"

"That's perfect!" Yang Cai said with a smile on his face: "I'll leave this matter to you. If there are any missing materials, just tell me."

"Thank you, sir!" All the craftsmen expressed their thanks in unison.

Afterwards, they gathered together and studied the drawings carefully.

You said something to me, arguing incessantly.

Chu Ze observed from the side and nodded secretly.

With the support of adults and these skilled craftsmen, it will not take long for the bicycle to be built.

By then, I'm afraid there will be a storm in Fengyang City!

He was secretly proud in his heart, but he calmly ordered: "Please work hard and make it happen. If it succeeds, you will be rewarded greatly!"

"No!" Everyone was rewarded and became even more motivated.

At present, they all divide their work, some are responsible for the frame, some are responsible for the wheels, and some are responsible for the handlebars and seats.

More than a dozen pairs of skillful hands moved together and cooperated tacitly, and soon they had a clue.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and five brand-new bicycles were placed side by side at the entrance of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, shining brightly in the sun!
Chu Ze looked at it with satisfaction, the smile on his face getting thicker and thicker.

"Okay, it's really good! This craftsmanship is simply ingenious!"

Five bikes, all the same size and nice looking.

The silver-gray steel frame glows softly in the sun, and the smooth lines are full of modernity.

The wooden wheels are wrapped in cowhide, which is both beautiful and practical.

"My lord, these are all made according to your requirements." The old craftsman wiped his sweat and said respectfully.

"From the inside to the outside, it is definitely the best of the best! It is guaranteed to withstand the test!"

All the craftsmen and officials also came forward. You looked at me, I looked at you, their faces were filled with pride and pride.

"Wonderful, it's so wonderful!" Yang Cai nodded repeatedly, filled with emotion.

"If this ingenious treasure is taken out, it will definitely attract thousands of people to the streets!"

Everyone agreed and praised this new thing.

"Your Majesty is so awesome! Is there anything in this world that Your Majesty can't think of and create?"

"That's right! In terms of ability, our prince is truly the number one person!"

Even the chubby official claimed it was true: "I have already said that the prince has his own opinions. How can ordinary people like us understand the prince's foresight?"

Chu Ze listened to the compliments around him, but just smiled slightly. (End of chapter)
