Early the next morning, inside the imperial palace of Chang’an City.
After Li Ke’s return, he did not go to court as usual.
After discussing the issue of pensions and commendations for the hussar officers and men in the court, it ended at about half past eight in the morning.
Li Shimin, who was dressed in a solemn dragon robe, had just left the hall when he was stopped by Fang Xuanling.
“Your Majesty, King Yan Tuo Weichen brought a message after the next dynasty, he will publicly experiment with a brand new object on the bank of the Weishui River, if Your Majesty is interested, you may wish to follow Weichen to the bank of the Weishui River to observe one or two with all the ministers!”
Fang Xuanling, who was dressed in a purple robe and jade belt, with an increasingly old face but quite spirited eyes, bowed to Li Shimin.
“Oh? What tricks did that kid play? In that case, let’s go for a trip, and if you are willing to come, come together. ”
A hint of curiosity suddenly appeared on Li Shimin’s majestic face.
“I’m waiting!”
The military generals above the court immediately made a decision, intending to take a look at what Li Kei wanted to show.
After all, many times, the name Li Kei represents something novel, enough to arouse everyone’s curiosity.
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Shimin’s dragon and the frame of the hundred officials slowly arrived on the south bank of the Weishui River in the north of the city.
When he walked out wearing a dragon robe hunting in the wind, what came into view was a large crowd of black pressure.
However, most of them are the families of merchants and dignitaries, and the rest are some unemployed vagrants and green skins.
After all, in addition to these three kinds of people, the entire Chang’an has time to run out of the city at this time to see the liveliness, basically not.
At the end of the crowd is a huge object with a carriage, which at first glance looks like a strange-looking ship being pulled ashore.
“What is this?”
Li Shimin was stunned and asked.
“This… The ministers and others don’t know…”
The civil and military officials present, including Fang Xuanling and Du Ruxi, the emperor’s chief think-tank, also did not understand what this thing that looked like a ship and carried a lot of black reels was for.
“Your Majesty!”
After half a ring, someone finally found Li Shimin behind him and the fight of civil and military officials.
“See Your Majesty!”
Only then did everyone turn around and salute Li Shimin, and after being called up by Li Shimin, they consciously gave way to the road.
Only then did Li Shimin take the civil and military officials and walk to the side of the truck, looking at this huge object, thoughtful.
“Father, this is an animal-powered truck, which can carry goods and drive every day, as long as you change horses along the way, you can stop and drive all the way!”
Li Kei smiled and pointed to the front of the three-story highland car.
“The horse is inside?”
Li Shimin raised his head and vaguely saw the war horse from the window on the first floor of the front of the car, which was a little incredible.
“Exactly, the horse turns the winch inside, so that the car can be faster than the horse, and if the horse pulls outside, it is how fast the horse can run he can only run.”
Li Kehe said with a smile.
“King Yan, even if that’s the case, you can’t accommodate many war horses, right? With such a large tail and full of goods, how can a dozen war horses be pulled? ”
Du Ru’s obscure face was full of color, and he asked with a curious baby.
“Hahaha, this is the use of the pulley principle, but Lord Du does not need to know what the pulley is far away, anyway, it is just to use a longer stroke to reduce the force required to drive the object.”
Li Kei smiled and shouted towards the front of the car a few meters away: “Start, run three miles back and forth!” ”
The bank of the Wei River is a river 20 meters wide.
Such a river embankment is just right for testing vehicles!
“Obey!”
The helmsman and commander on the top floor of the front of the car answered, and then yelled: “First gear, start!” ”
“Obey!”
The occupants in charge of the imperial horses guarding the compartment responded at the same time, and whipped the war horse pulling the millstone.
Suddenly, all the turntables began to turn under the unhurried pace of the war horse.
Above the winch defaults to first gear at this time, but the power has not yet been transmitted to the drive gear at the rear of the car, because the clutch has not been lowered.
“Loose clutch, forward!”
With a command from the helmsman, the co-pilot, who was sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, lifted the clutch lever.
Click… Click…
As the clutch was lowered, after a sudden collision of gears, the truck filled with a thousand stone grain and grass moved slowly.
This time is the lowest gear, the longest stroke, the lowest speed, but no matter how heavy it is, you can easily start.
“Move, move!”
The crowd roared excitedly.
I only saw this huge truck like a warship, slowly starting and walking faster and faster along the inertia.
“Second gear!”
With the roar of the helmsman, the co-pilot dropped the clutch control handle.
The power is cut off in an instant.
Then the members of the three layers responsible for the grinding disc each drop their own gear shift handle.
With a bang, the chain that was still spinning was switched to the next larger gear by the calipers.
“The three-layer No. 1 gear shift is complete!”
“Number two on the third floor…”
“No. 1 on the second floor…”
All the members responsible for the grinding disc will roar when they have finished changing gears.
“Gear change is complete, put!”
Click…
The clutch is put down again.
The truck, which showed some signs of slowing down, jerked and then began to accelerate again.
After switching to the highest gear in one shake after another, the trucks in ten gears suddenly began to run wildly on the smooth embankment at a speed of forty kilometers per hour like an arrow from Xuanzhi.
The smoke and dust pulled up are like thousands of troops advancing in unison!
“Well… So awesome!! ”
The onlookers were in an uproar.
“This… This is a real artifact, less than thirty horses, can actually pull such a heavy thousand stone grain grass to run so fast! ”
Li Shimin’s pupils suddenly contracted.
He immediately experienced the magic of this land-based “big ship”, known as trucks.
“With this thing, after building the road, the post stations along the way will prepare enough war horses, whether it is pulling people or goods, they can drive so quickly, if it is a pure truck pulling people, we can even design it twice as fast, less than five hours (ten hours), we can reach Youzhou Zhuocheng from Chang’an!”
Li Kehe laughed.
“Hiss…”
In the crowd, there was a sound of gasping for air.
Five hours to Zhuocheng, a single-handed, physically strong fierce general may be able to do it, but this thing can at least pull hundreds of people to walk together!
In this way, the meaning is completely different!
“This thing will accept orders after three months, 2,000 (200,000) a car, personnel training costs are calculated separately, pulling people and pulling goods will soon be able to return the cost!”
Li Kei smiled proudly and announced this exciting news! _
