The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 357: Technology was very advanced in the late Han Dynasty, and the charming ancestors were always charming
Luo Yuan said quickly, "I want to hold a literary gathering, so I need to build a building. When the time comes, all the rich people from all over the world who like elegance will come to Jiangling. They will definitely like bicycles. They love flashy things like this. The more flashy they are, the easier it will sell!"

hiss!
Huang Yueying thought for a moment, her eyes lit up, "Now that you mention it, I remember that the store did buy more than a dozen bicycles, all of which were bought by the nobles from Jiangdong. They all said they were good, but the common people didn't like them."

"right,"

"But I want to sell bicycles to ordinary people, not to the nobility, so forget it."

"..."

Luo Yuan was suddenly confused. Why are you so stubborn? Ordinary people cannot accept your aesthetic taste.

Ordinary people like big and rough things that are sturdy and durable, while bicycles are too exquisite.

"Master's wife, can you compromise for the sake of making money? I will help you build bicycles that people like, okay?"

Huang Yueying was furious and pointed at Luo Yuan's nose and cursed: "God damn it, you knew what kind of bicycles people like, why didn't you tell me earlier? You waited until my shop couldn't run anymore and you told me. Do you want to see me laugh at you, Luo Gongqi, have you forgotten how I treated you in the past? I gave you delicious food, and you treat me like this?"

Jia Xu turned around and looked over. This was very interesting.

Luo Yuan was scolded so harshly, who would believe what he said?

Xu Shu drank tea and chatted with Liu Guangda as if he was used to it!
What could Luo Yuan do? He could only endure it. When Huang Yueying had scolded him enough, he said, "The bicycles that the people like must be made of steel and also need Eucommia gum."

Tires are best made of rubber, but it’s okay if there is no rubber. There is a lot of rubber in the Central Plains. You can use the gum of the Eucommia ulmoides tree instead.

Since it is impossible to make an inflatable capsule, just make a solid tire.

Who can say no?

As for making wheels with steel wire, forget it. Just use wood. As the saying goes, as long as it works, it's fine.

A usable bicycle would make Luo Yuan lose countless brain cells at this time. Huang Yueying was not easy to fool. After hearing Luo Yuan's words, she insisted on asking him to draw it for her to see.

Everyone knows that Luo Yuan can draw, so just draw.

Huang Yueying and Liu Guangda sneered when they saw the bicycle drawn by Luo Yuan, which was 70% similar to the modern bicycle.

"This axle can't be made of wood, it has to be made of steel wire."

"No," Luo Yuan denied immediately.

Liu Guangda smiled and said, "After the steel is heated, it can be drawn into wire by a rotary machine. It is very easy to use. Don't you know that we can draw iron wire? If not, we can also knock it out by hand, but the efficiency is slow."

Wait, it sounds like a wire drawing machine to me!
Is there such a thing in Jiangling?

Wire drawing machine,

"What the hell!"

Luo Yuan was angry: "Drawing silk, when did this thing come into being? How come I didn't know about it?"

"It has always been there," Liu Guangda said as a matter of course, "How can a craftsman cast complex bronze ware if he doesn't know how to draw the silk? This is a basic process in bronze casting. It's very simple, but it's easy to get burned, but it won't kill you."

Paralyzed!
Please don't take it for granted. Last time it was gears and you used the seismometer as an example. This time it's a wire drawing machine.

This is drawn iron wire.

"Can you two talk about this?"

Huang Yueying was too lazy to pay attention to Luo Yuan, this useless person, so Liu Guangda explained: "Gongqi, you know that iron becomes soft when it is heated red, and soft iron can be processed. Do you know that when weaving silk, we need to extract the silk from the cocoon?"

"..." I don't want to talk anymore. I thought you guys deduced the silk-drawing technique from scientific principles, but it turns out you learned it from silk-drawing and cocoon-stripping in the mountains.

Liu Guangda said: "First, make a clay mold with a small hole in it. Pass water through one end, and the molten iron will flow out and naturally become wire. It's just not easy to use yet. At this moment, the wire is still hot. Rotate it to make it uniform. Once it's the same size, wind it on a spinning wheel and let it cool. It's very simple."

You are awesome!
Luo Yuan understood that it was different from what he thought.
He looked at Liu Guangda speechlessly. "So Jiang Ling can use iron wire to make armor?"

"I don't know, I haven't tried it. Wire is mainly used to build houses and for tying ships when building ships."

Huang Yueying was very direct and asked someone to bring a roll of wire. Luo Yuan burst into tears. It was really fucking wire.

Then he took the wire and began to weave it, once on the left, then on the side, making a double ring, one ring inside another to make a ring!
Slowly it became a piece,

Huang Yueying said disdainfully: "It's useless to be so slow. Isn't this just like weaving? It should be faster on a loom."

"what……"

Luo Yuan entered a blind spot again, and felt that he was severely crushed by the ancients. Theoretically, iron wire is also wire, and there is no problem using the textile method!

But can it really be the same?

Liu Guangda thought for a while and said, "No, we need to use a shuttle. It's faster to use a shuttle. Put several wires in parallel, and the shuttle will shuttle between them, entangle the wires. One shuttle is not enough, we should use two shuttles."

Stop talking!
Luo Yuan was extremely horrified. Are you planning to start the first industrial revolution?

It's too fucking advanced, totally incompatible with the productivity of this era.

But why do I feel so excited!

It turns out that our ancestors already knew how to improve productivity, but many of these technologies were lost in history.

Luo Yuan stared at Huang Yueying and Liu Guangda. The two of them looked like technical experts. After talking to each other for half a day, they decided to improve the textile machine to spin iron wire.

"Gongqi, what do you plan to do with the iron wire?"

"Armor Making"

Pooh!
Huang Yueying and Liu Guangda both despised Luo Yuan, saying that the local military leader only knew how to use good things to make weapons.

Huang Yueying said: "Weaving iron into nets is good for catching fish. It can also be made into cages to raise chickens and ducks. This way, you don't have to worry about the chickens and ducks flying away."

Today's chickens are better and don't like to fly around too much, but ducks are not very domesticated and they start to fly away as time goes by.

Huang Yueying and Liu Guangda took away a large roll of white paper and a lot of tea from Luo Yuan with satisfaction, and then walked away with a swagger.

Jia Xu was surprised. Luo Yuan was the lord, but these two people actually took things from him.

"Gongqi, aren't you angry? There are so many white papers and fine tea leaves!"

"They earn more for me. A Guangda helped me build countless pumping docks and honeycomb coal. Not to mention my master's wife. Both of them are Jiangling's heavy weapons. One person can fight against 100,000 troops. Although I am the lord, what does it matter if I suffer a little loss!"

Not worth mentioning

After a discussion, this barbed wire fence has come out, which is thousands of years ahead of the times!

Jia Xu looked at Luo Yuan and nodded. He found that Luo Yuan was sincere and was not angry at all.

The atmosphere here in Jiangling is really good.
