After repeatedly verifying that there was no problem with the steamship, Juzi reported the matter to Ying Zheng.
Later, Ying Zheng personally went to the Wei River to experiment with steamships.
And make your judgment after taking several trips on the Wei River by boat.
"With this divine tool, which requires no human effort, our Great Qin will prosper forever."
Thus, the steamship was officially born.
"Your Majesty, this ship seems to be something that Lord Zhao urgently needs. Now that the research has been successful, could you please inform Lord Zhao and see if she has any plans?"
Juzi returned to the palace and asked Ying Zheng for instructions.
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment.
Last time, Zhao Jun said that the letter was for Juzi, so he naturally opened it and read it.
She also knew that this thing should be useful to her.
However, two or three months passed and there was no letter from Bajun. Isn't she anxious?
Ying Zheng secretly criticized.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Juzi stood aside and reminded quietly.
Only then did Ying Zheng stop complaining and come back to his senses.
"Well, I will send someone to deliver the news to Ba County."
For such an important matter, I will write to her personally to inform her.
The next day, Ying Zheng's handwritten letter was sent from Xianyang to Ba County by express horse.
In Jingshan County, Zhao Jun had already arrived at the cliff with his things and people.
Ma Shanwen also followed behind all the way.
"Xiao He, you should have understood the method I told you before."
Xiao He nodded.
"Okay, then you take a small group of people to drill the holes for the ropes and wooden boards."
After saying that, Xiao He took the order and took people to do it.
"Captain Su, take the rest of the men and drive those stakes deep into the ground, leaving only a small part exposed."
"You must do this step well. Whether the suspension bridge can be built depends mainly on how firmly these two piles are fixed."
Su Junqiang took the order and started to lead people to nail those steel bars.
Sun Ying sent more than four steel bars. Zhao Jun tied two or three steel bars together and fixed them as one, so that the pile foundation could withstand greater force.
While they were doing this, County Magistrate Ma stood by and watched silently.
After Zhao Jun finished her instructions, the scene became busy. She walked over to Ma Shanwen and started talking.
"Ma, please go back first. It will probably take us two days to finish. You can come back and take a look when the time comes. You can't be of much help here."
Ma Shanwen really wanted to help, but after looking around for a long time, he felt that he was really redundant.
So after the two of them talked for a few words, he was persuaded to leave by Zhao Jun.
Construction on the cliffs continues as normal.
Because this place is quite far from the county town, everyone rested directly in the wild for the past two days and did not waste time rushing back to the county town to rest.
After Su Junqiang and his men fixed all four piles on both sides.
The net pulling began.
There are two on one side, one for handrail and the other for connecting the wooden board.
Everyone relied on Zhao Jun's dragon claws to travel back and forth between the two mountains.
At present, the prototype of the suspension bridge has been completed, and only the last step remains.
Added wooden planks to the suspension bridge for fixed walking.
On Xiao He's side, all the holes in the wooden boards had been drilled, and ropes had been threaded through one side, waiting to be connected to the stretched net.
This step is also the most dangerous, as the cliffs on both sides begin to connect towards the middle at the same time.
And you have to step on the wooden board you just connected, because it is only fixed by ropes throughout the whole process, so you will inevitably feel shaky when walking.
People on both sides have safety ropes tied around their waists so that if the wooden boards are not connected properly, they will not fall down directly.
Fortunately, the whole process was safe and sound, and after the last wooden board was installed, the suspension bridge was completed.
Originally there was only a rope between the two mountains, but now it has become a suspension bridge that can be walked directly on.
There is a towering cliff above, and a deep abyss below, but in front of it there is a bridge swaying in the wind.
"This, this is done. Can we step on it? We are so heavy that if the board breaks, we will fall down."
Liu Bang stood on the edge of the cliff, touched the black rope, and spoke alarmist words.
Zhao Jun stood behind him and gave him a blank look.
Xiao He said as he looked at this miraculous ladder.
"No, I've personally checked these pieces of wood and ropes. They're very strong and the connections are tight. They won't break."
"Yeah, I didn't expect it could actually be done. This is much more convenient than just climbing a rope."
Su Junqiang also followed behind and echoed.
"No, no, no, why do I still think it's so unreliable?"
Liu Bang stood at the edge of the cliff, reached out and touched the wooden board, then glanced at the bottom of the cliff, and continued to shake his head and speak.
Zhao Jun, who had been standing behind him, suddenly had a funny idea when he saw his expression.
She curled the corners of her mouth slightly and stared at Liu Bang with a smile in her eyes.
When Xiao He turned around, he saw her eyes and smile, then turned back silently.
Someone is going to be unlucky again.
"Liu Ji, since you don't trust this suspension bridge so much, why don't you test its safety for everyone?"
"Go up the bridge first and walk back and forth."
"ah--?!"
After successfully completing the construction of the suspension bridge, everyone returned to Jingshan County.
They came back to rest for a night and also informed the people of Jingshan of the good news.
As soon as County Magistrate Ma saw them coming back, he hurried to greet them.
He was overjoyed when he heard that the suspension bridge was successfully built, and immediately prepared to take people to check it out.
"Don't worry, Magistrate Ma. Please inform the people first. We will go and see it together tomorrow."
