"This thing is indeed a bicycle."
Seeing that things turned out just as he had guessed, Li Er immediately made a note of Wei Dapengzi in his mind.
"I wonder how fast this thing is, and how much it can carry?"
Hearing Li Er's confirmation, Cheng Yaojin immediately touched his bicycle and asked excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Li Er's expression became even uglier.
If you two idiots hadn't asked to see me, I would have figured it out by now.
After glaring fiercely at Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, Li Er turned to Zhou Yu and said, "Brother, I intend to build a new army using bicycles. Is this feasible?"
Building a new army with bicycles?
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
He knew that Li Er was interested in bicycles, but he didn't expect that they would be used in military affairs.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible.
It is said that during World War II, the German army relied on this thing to fight all the way to Moscow.
In addition, the armed work team behind enemy lines also seemed to be a bicycle action team.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu immediately nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the idea of using bicycles to form a new army should be feasible."
"Young Master, how much weight can this thing carry? Can it compare to an ox or a horse?"
Seeing Zhou Yu nod, Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait to ask again without waiting for Li Er to ask.
Compared with Zhou Yu's answer, he actually trusts his own judgment more.
After all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and stability and reliability are the most important.
"The standard load capacity of this creature is about 500 kilograms, which is roughly the same as that of an ox or a horse."
"But compared to horses and cows that can be propelled by a whip, bicycles require human power to move."
"In theory, as long as your physical fitness keeps up, a bicycle can move forward almost non-stop."
"Of course, road conditions and weather conditions are also key factors affecting bicycle speed."
In fact, Zhou Yu was not particularly clear about the issue of the 28-inch bicycle.
Especially the load capacity of the 28-inch truck, it seems to be a real mystery.
Apart from Odebiao who was pulling bananas, it was Asan who played the most fancy.
As far as current human physical fitness is concerned, it seems that we really cannot break through the limits of bicycles.
"Carrying 500 kilograms? Wouldn't it be better than cattle and horses for transporting food and fodder?"
After listening to Zhou Yu's story, Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up.
Not to mention the weight that a bicycle can carry, the fact that it does not consume food and grass alone makes it a magical tool.
You should know that during the transportation of food and fodder, the biggest consumption is what people eat and what horses chew.
If the amount of horse biscuits can be reduced, the amount of food and fodder delivered to the front line can be increased by at least 30%.
"Your Majesty, if you exclude the rider's weight, the bicycle's load is only about three or four hundred kilograms."
Seeing Li Er's excited face, Zhou Yu quickly added something.
"Even if it's only three or four hundred pounds, it's still better than cattle and horses."
Li Er's face was flushed with excitement and he didn't take this question seriously at all.
As he spoke, he looked expectant and said, "I just saw my brother riding it with ease and comfort. I think this thing should not be difficult. I want to give it a try."
"Me too~"
"Me too~"
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Laohei also nodded in agreement.
Seeing Li Er's face full of anticipation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to push the bicycle in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, get on like this and hold the handlebars with both hands. I'll support you later so you can feel your balance."
"Yuchi Laohei, please help me hold on. I need to feel my balance."
Cheng Yaojin quickly followed suit.
"Is it that simple?"
Li Er looked incredulous.
I thought such a magical object would be very difficult to learn.
But now it seems that it is far from what we imagined.
"Yes, yes, that's how I become a loser in school~"
Before Zhou Yu could answer, the little princess riding a children's bicycle next to him came over with a smug look on her face.
"Is this how Li Zhi learned it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Er immediately looked at Li Lizhi.
Seeing his eldest daughter nod, he couldn't help but become more excited.
Without waiting for Zhou Yu to urge him, he stepped on the pedal without hesitation.
The next moment, the bicycle quickly moved forward.
"Yuchi Laohei, help me hold on tight, I'm going to chase His Majesty."
Cheng Yaojin next to him also looked anxious.
"Brother, you are right. This thing seems to be very simple indeed."
Although Li Er had drunk some wine, this slightly tipsy state made him feel more comfortable.
With excitement in my heart, my feet unconsciously moved faster.
"Wow, Aye, I'm a failure in my studies~ Aye, I'm a failure in my studies~"
As Li Er's movements became faster and faster, the little princess's cheers also reached his ears.
Hearing his little daughter's cheers, Li Er couldn't help but pedal harder.
But what he didn't notice was that not only Empress Changsun, but even Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, who were still trying, were stunned and stood there.
Because Zhou Yu had already let go of the hand holding the back seat as soon as the little princess started cheering.
Fortunately, the palace is quite large, so there is no need to worry about turning for the time being.
"Young Master, His Majesty is riding so fast, is there anything wrong?"
Empress Changsun looked worried.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately said in a soothing tone, "As long as Your Majesty remembers the key points I instructed and brakes in time, there will be no problem."
"Young Master, it seems you didn't teach Aye how to stop."
Just when Zhou Yu looked confident, Li Lizhi next to him said something weakly.
Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this, "Didn't I say that just now?"
I only drank two or three taels of Maotai, so I shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, right?
"Yeah, Xiao Neng-kun, you really didn't say that~"
The little milk ball looked serious.
"Did I really not say that?"
Zhou Yu still didn't give up.
"I really didn't say that."
Li Lizhi confirmed again.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu secretly said that something was wrong.
In just a moment, the dizzy brain regained clarity.
He just grabbed a bicycle and rode towards Li Shimin without hesitation.
If Li Er falls, it might be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
"Xiao Neng-jun, wait a minute~"
Seeing Zhou Yu, he got on his bike and left without saying a word.
The little princess behind him immediately chased after him with excitement.
Seeing this, Li Lizhi finally seized the opportunity.
Before Empress Changsun could come to her senses, she also wobbled on her bicycle to catch up.
"Boy, how do you think I ride?"
Zhou Yu had just approached when he heard Li Er's question.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu was speechless.
This Li Er is really a chatterbox. He didn't even notice that I hadn't answered him for so long.
But fortunately he didn't notice.
Otherwise, if you fall, it will be a big deal.
