Chapter 176 Bicycle



The matter of Zhao Jun leaving the palace was temporarily put on hold.

She still traveled back and forth between the palace and the Nei Shi Mansion every day.

Just after the Chinese New Year, everything is in a leisurely start-up stage.

However, a saying has become popular privately in Xianyang.

It is said that it is best for girls to wait until they are sixteen or seventeen years old before getting married.

In this way, the children born in the future will be healthy and smart.

This is exactly what Zhao Jun revealed to Liu Ji two days ago and asked him to publicize it.

After all, people at that time were more superstitious, especially when it came to offspring.

Many people believed this rumor, which at least helped the young girls.

Zhao Jun, who had been relaxing for just two days, was cleaning his room when he suddenly saw a box of things.

She slapped her head and realized that she had forgotten something.

The box contained the rubber she bought from Wu Shi Luo.

Didn’t we agree to try making a bicycle with this rubber?

It just so happens that I have nothing to do during this period of time, so I might as well find Ju Zi to study it together.

Thinking of this, she quickly came to the Mo family workshop.

Everyone in the yard was still doing their own things in an orderly manner.

Juzi was not in the yard, and seemed to be in his workshop.

Zhao Jun walked to the door familiarly and knocked gently.

After a while, there was a noise from inside the door.

"Who is it?"

When Juzi opened the door and saw that it was Zhao Jun, he immediately smiled and became excited.

"You've come at the right time, sir. Please take a look at what I've made recently."

As Juzi spoke, he led Zhao Jun into the house.

In fact, she felt something was wrong when Juzi opened the door just now.

She had been to this workshop many times before, so why did the temperature inside feel so high today?

She could feel it even from the doorway.

Now I feel it even more when I walk in.

No wonder Juzi sweated so much today.

It was not until Zhao Jun walked inside that he realized where the heat came from.

"You're burning iron in the house?"

Zhao Jun stared at the shrunken bronze pot in amazement.

and the iron placed inside and the burning coals beneath.

"Didn't you tell me before about purifying pig iron? It uses continuous high-temperature combustion."

"It's not convenient for me to conduct experiments at the iron smelting site outside the city, so I set up a small experimental site in my house."

"This has been fired non-stop for several days, and finally there are some small results."

Juzi said excitedly.

Zhao Jun secretly glanced over there.

It is indeed a 'little' effect.

She looked away, covered her mouth lightly, and quickly changed the subject.

"Ahem, so I'm looking for you for something else today."

"I'm planning to research something new. Are you interested in helping me out?"

Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows and spoke seductively.

"Of course, my Lord, what interesting inventions are you going to make again?"

Ju Zi's attention was soon attracted by the new ideas brought by Zhao Jun.

The main thing is that he is currently researching high-temperature iron burning, and all he needs to do is add coal regularly.

Until the iron turns into molten iron, he can't do anything even if he wants to.

Zhao Jun handed the rubber gloves to Juzi.

"This material is called rubber, and what I want to make is called a bicycle. Let me first describe its general appearance to you."

The structure of a bicycle is not complicated, and Juzi understood it quickly after she explained it.

"The power of this bicycle comes from two pairs of people's feet, right?"

Juzi asked.

"Yes, otherwise why would it be called a bicycle?"

"The structure of this car shouldn't be complicated, so what does it have to do with this rubber?"

Juzi quickly understood the structure of a bicycle, which was much simpler than a large horse-drawn carriage.

But he didn't understand what part of the bicycle this rubber was going to be used for.

"Listen to me, this rubber is used on the front and rear wheels of the bicycle."

"Aren't all wheels now made of rounded wood?"

"But the wheels on this bicycle are made of this rubber."

“Rubber wheels don’t ride bumps as easily and are more comfortable.”

Zhao Jun took the rubber and carefully explained to him the structure of the bicycle wheel.

"I see, this rubber material is truly amazing. I just pulled it hard and it didn't even break."

Juzi stroked the piece of rubber with great interest.

“Yes, this material is really good.”

"Then the wheels are like this, preferably with two rings inside and outside, so that the inner one can be filled with enough air."

"Then there's another problem. I still have a lot of these rubber gloves, but they may need to be disassembled and assembled into the shape required for the wheels."

The two discussed for a while in the workshop.

From the cutting and splicing of rubber to the construction of the vehicle body and the installation and removal of brakes, etc.

In the next few days, Zhao Jun went back and forth between the Mo family workshop, constantly making bicycles with Juzi.

Once the most difficult wheel part is solved, the rest will basically be easy to complete.

Two days later, the improved ancient version of the bicycle was completed.

Zhao Jun looked at the bicycle parked in the Mo family's yard with great satisfaction.

It's about the same size as a modern bicycle.

The whole body is made of black, and there are very delicate red lines on it, which looks very beautiful.

The two wheels are made of rubber and look very comfortable to ride.

The car was parked neatly in the middle of the yard, and Zhao Junju stood in front of it, watching it motionlessly.
