Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 358 Emperor Qianwu's Ambition
Before the lap was over, Gao Dali pedaled his bicycle frantically and chased after him, shouting at the top of his voice.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Majesty calls you into the palace, calls you into the palace!"

"understood."

Li Changfeng responded, turned around and accelerated towards the palace, disappearing from Gao Dali's sight in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that it was impossible to catch up with Li Changfeng, Gao Dali chose to give up and sighed: "This thing is too fast!"

Emperor Qianwu couldn't calm down to review the memorial for a long time, and came to the imperial steps in the square in front of the hall, waiting eagerly for Li Changfeng to appear.

Soon, the roar of the engine came from a distance, and Emperor Qianwu smiled.

"Brat, it's finally here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Changfeng driving towards him on a motorcycle, which was much faster than Yu Ma Wan's bloody BMW.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Qianwu was even more excited.

Li Changfeng also saw Emperor Qianwu standing on the imperial steps, so he drove over and laughed loudly: "How about it, father, is it fast?"

"Quick, really fast!" Emperor Qianwu nodded and exclaimed.

Li Changfeng turned off the engine and got out of the car, and asked, "Father, why are you so anxious to summon your minister?"

Emperor Qianwu looked at the motorcycle and said with deep eyes: "Of course it is for this thing."

When Li Changfeng built the bicycle, he had imagined the possibility of using it in the military, but considering that Li Changfeng's steam car was still being researched and improved, he dismissed the idea.

In his view, steam vehicles were the future of the military.

After all, its load capacity is too strong, and the bicycle cannot match it at all.

It wasn't until Li Changfeng developed an internal combustion engine motorcycle that he analyzed from the few words he received and realized that motorcycles were the real future of the military.

Now seeing the compact size and amazing speed of the motorcycle, this idea is even more firm.

Naturally, Li Changfeng didn't think that Emperor Qianwu called him here just to join in the fun of the motorcycle, and he already had some guesses in his mind, so he asked, "Isn't Father wanting to use this thing in the army?"

"Yes, what do you think?"

"Of course." Li Changfeng nodded.

In the previous life, the army had been striving to develop mechanization before entering the information age, which shows how important mechanization is to the army.

A mere motorcycle is not enough for the Daqian army to mechanize, but the use of motorcycles will inevitably enable it to achieve leapfrog development.

Just imagine, the same long-distance raid, the army going on foot, can the speed be compared to that on a motorcycle?

By the time we reach the combat zone, we must have been exhausted.

But the soldiers on motorcycles can be full of energy. In this case, the result of the battle can be imagined.

Also, the enemy is retreating, how can the legs run faster than the motorcycle?
It was precisely because of these thoughts that Emperor Qianwu cared so much about motorcycles. He was even more delighted when he heard Li Changfeng say that.

"Okay! Okay! That's great! With motorcycles, the mobility of our officers and soldiers will be greatly enhanced. There will no longer be any shortcomings, and they will be able to sweep the world!"

Li Changfeng nodded in agreement.

In fact, even without motorcycles, a large army is enough to sweep the world.

Emperor Ganwu was overjoyed, and laughed for a while. After calming down, he turned around the motorcycle and observed carefully, wondering: "What is this thing called? What is it used as power?"

"It's called a motorcycle, powered by gasoline."

"It's a strange name. Gasoline is the kerosene you used to set fires on?"

"more or less."

"Where's the gasoline?"

Li Changfeng pointed to the fuel tank: "Here."

Emperor Ganwu looked at the bucket-shaped fuel tank, frowned slightly and said, "How many miles can it run with such a small size?"

Li Changfeng thought for a while, and said conservatively: "I can run at least four hundred miles. How far I can run needs a long-distance test."

The four hundred miles on the road is equivalent to two hundred kilometers.

There is no problem with running this distance with a tank of fuel. This is still considering that the internal combustion engine technology is not mature enough, the combustion is not sufficient, and the fuel consumption is very high.

In fact, with the advancement of technology, the distance traveled by a tank of fuel will become farther and farther.

Li Changfeng didn't like this distance, but to Emperor Qianwu, it was an extremely shocking number, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "At least four hundred miles?! Can you run this far?!"

"Of course!"

"That is to say, if two large fuel tanks are hung on the motorcycle, it will be no problem even if it runs two thousand miles?"

Li Changfeng said affirmatively: "That's right."

"Haha, good, good!"

Such an astonishing distance made Emperor Qianwu couldn't help laughing again.

He thought for a while and said: "There is no problem in carrying two people on this motorcycle. One person can control it, and the other person can shoot with a musket. They can fight all the way. It is simply a weapon to kill the enemy!"

"In fact, three people are better." Li Changfeng smiled and pointed to the side of the motorcycle. "If a wheel is added here to connect it to the motorcycle, and a seat is installed on it, it will be more convenient for soldiers to shoot the enemy."

Li Changfeng refers to Bian Sanlun, which is very common in previous life war film and television dramas, and its stability and convenience are better.

Although what he said was very simple, Emperor Ganwu was so clever that he immediately understood what he meant, nodded and said: "That's right, it's a good idea, it's not easy to overturn the car, and it can carry more soldiers."

Speaking of this, Emperor Ganwu paused for a moment, and said seriously: "Changfeng, let the motorcycles be put into production as soon as possible, the Dagan army needs motorcycles. Don't worry about money, I will not lose you a penny!"

Not long ago, Li Changfeng sold the shares of the Ministry of Railways to the treasury for more than 1000 million taels of silver, and now Emperor Qianwu is very confident.

Li Changfeng nodded: "Father, don't worry, my son will do his best. However, it cannot be used by the army in a short time, because the motorcycle still has a lot of room for improvement."

A motorcycle is not as simple as a bicycle. It is a complex mechanical mechanism. During the test ride, Li Changfeng found many areas for improvement.

A motorcycle that can be used by the army must have an extremely stable structure and strong durability, which is obviously not yet achieved.

Seeing that Li Changfeng was not eager for quick success at all, Emperor Qianwu was very satisfied.

"Very good, hurry up and improve, I want to see the day when Dagan rides a motorcycle and gallops across the battlefield as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, father, my son is also looking forward to the motorcycle being launched as soon as possible to earn money."

After the bicycle was launched, the business was very hot, and all the nobles flocked to it.

Although bicycle sales are still booming, they have gradually withdrawn from the elite circle.

Just imagine, those powerful men, young ladies and young men who are not short of money and think they are noble, can ride bicycles occasionally for fun, but how can they work hard every day on bicycles?
How can it be comfortable to lie in a carriage?
But the emergence of motorcycles will definitely change all that.

If it doesn't work, just build a shed to protect it from wind and rain, and modify it according to the ideas of Lao Tou Le in his previous life. It will definitely sell well.
