- When the brand new carriage appeared in front of Liu Mingqi, he was a little confused.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT Out of the Clan's Mansion, he was busy with marrying a wife and getting sweet potatoes.
Regarding Zhong Bin, the apprentice, and the springs and tires he was working on, although they were mentioned in the report handed over by his mother, the boy still didn't pay much attention.
It wasn¡¯t until Zhong Bin asked him to come out of the city to the test base and see this carriage that transcended the times with his own eyes that Liu Mingqi felt shocked.
The whole carriage looks about two times larger than an ordinary carriage.
This carriage is also very carefully built. It is not made of ordinary pear wood, locust wood and other woods, but is made of fine red ironwood. With the reddish color, the entire carriage is integrated and looks rich and noble.
¡°Because of Liu Mingqi¡¯s guidance, the carriage they made was not a model where a thick wooden board protruded from the carriage and the driver rode on the wooden board.
Rather, it tends to be European horse-drawn carriages from the 18th and 19th centuries.
In front of it is a kind of driver's seat. The cabin is arranged with a door opening and closing in the middle, and glass is used to transmit light and decorate it.
If the people inside don¡¯t want people outside to see themselves, they can seal the glass window through the small sliding wooden board inside.
Then the sides and bottom of the carriage are designed with clever vents to ensure that the air remains unobstructed in the sealed space.
Since the carriage has to be driven in the dark, there are four small gasoline lamps around the top of the carriage. After being lit, they can maintain the light for more than three hours. This can provide lighting and avoid collisions.
The interior of the carriage is also in European style. The most important position is a row of large sofas, which are spacious enough to lie down on.
Then there is a layer of tiger skin laid on the floor, which looks very majestic.
At the same time, there are several drawers of different sizes on both sides of the compartment, where various items can be placed.
There are also two small boards that can be propped up when needed to place milk tea, food, etc.
This small board uses a spring function, so that it does not require much effort to support and store, and it is very stable.
It is conceivable that people sitting inside will feel very comfortable.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the carriage must not bump.
Once it gets bumpy, no matter how good the facilities inside are, they are completely useless.
It will only make people feel uncomfortable, nauseous, and even vomit in it.
So Liu Mingqi is more concerned about the external power system and shock absorption system.
The power system is not just as simple as whether it is a horse or not, but also the use of axles, the force and feedback of tires, etc.
The shock absorption system is easy to understand.
The use of springs in two bearings and the tires' absorption of ground vibrations and bumps can solve the problem of shock absorption.
In these two aspects, Zhong Bin and the others have done well.
Bearings are a very important thing.
Without bearings, the wheels of the carriage cannot rotate. Without rotation, it cannot walk, and it cannot be called a carriage.
Anyone born in the 1970s and 1980s knows that bearings are full of balls, so they are also called ball bearings.
But it was impossible to have ball bearings in ancient times.
They used wooden bearings at first, then changed to bronze bearings during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then iron bearings.
Later, when it developed to a more mature stage, it became a system with two bearings at the same time - inner and outer bearings, also known as large and small ring bearings.
Usually it is composed of a small wooden inner ring on the inside and a large iron outer ring on the outside. The two rings are nested together, and then animal grease is used to lubricate the middle to ensure that friction will not damage the bearing structure quickly.
There is no clear record of this folk wisdom, starting from the wooden shaft layer to the large and small bearings, saying when and who invented it, but in fact, those who invented these can be called scientists.
"If we support them well, give them more experimental conditions and funds, and give them more rewards, maybe our country's various scientific and technological developments will be several centuries ahead of Europe."
It is a pity that science is ignored and inventions and creations are not valued. As soon as you start reading, you can find a golden house in the book, which gradually kills everyone's creative enthusiasm. Unlike Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, through the whole people Inventions can explosively increase various soft and hard strengths, thereby achieving rapid improvement.
From now on, it¡¯s just one step away?Bigger wheels.
This is also more consistent with the principles of mechanics.
Liu Mingqi sat on it, and Zhong Bin drove the carriage himself, waving the whip, holding the reins, and galloped from the test base to the official road in a flash.
Dakang¡¯s official road is similar to Qin¡¯s straight road. It is straight and solid. There are basically no potholes. Even if it has been continuously crushed by horse-drawn carriages for decades, it has not been damaged.
Walking on such a road, it really felt smooth all the way. Liu Mingqi specially placed the cup on the small wooden board, and no water splashed out.
However, the young man felt that this was not enough, so he opened the small window in front and ordered: "Zhong Bin, hurry up! Hurry up!"
"okay!"
Zhong Bin had run many times, so he didn't panic. He gave the horses a few whips, and the two horses galloped away.
With such force, they picked up speed in an instant, and then passed many carriages on the official road.
This was the first time for these carriages to see such a strange and unique carriage, and they all paid attention to it unconsciously.
The boy looked through the not-so-clear window at the speeding scenery outside. It felt like he had returned to modern times and was sitting in a car!
This kind of carriage with comfortable seats, without the butt jolting as if it is falling apart, is so good!
great! !

By the way, the carriages written here are not actually used in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They are the tourist carriages used in urban areas in European countries now. This is more beautiful!
