Chapter 282: Win face, lose life

The development of bicycles is much smoother than expected.
The most troublesome thing for Tang En was the production technology of tires and bearings. However, these two technical problems were solved long ago and one was successfully overcome by the technical team headed by Nokia.
The processing technology of bearings has long been applied in gnome engineering. A large number of ball bearings have been used in their previously reduced semi-finished steam combat tanks. Production technology already exists, but the processing technology is not high.
The problem of processing technology was also successfully solved with the joining of Tang En. The original millimeter-level processing technology was instantly upgraded to the micron level, and the precision was increased by nearly a thousand times, which increased the life and efficiency of the bearings many times.
The tire production process has also been successfully managed by wit gnomes. This group of young people who love to study is always full of unusually positive attitudes to new technologies and new things. I am afraid that they are all on the earth in the name of academicians. Daniel.
Of course, the appearance of tires is not only for bicycles. The first thing to enjoy is the Ellington's carriage. After seeing the stability and speed of the lord's carriage after the tire was modified, the gate of Datang Engineering Research Institute was the next day. It was crowded with requests to modify the carriage.
The modified carriage did not disappoint them, whether it is a shock-absorbing spring or rubber cushion, or new bearings and tires. After these things are installed, the carriage is just like a makeover, completely different. .
The original trembling became soft and gentle, and even the potholes of the gravel road were comfortable. I do n’t know how many times. The most exciting thing for them was that they were running on the asphalt road, which was at least five times faster than before. Above! Due to the improvement of the bearing technology, the friction and resistance are reduced, and the horse consumption is also reduced. Therefore, the transportation speed and distance in a unit time have been greatly improved, and the forage consumed by horses has also been greatly reduced!
It is equal to the cost of refitting the carriage. After only a few transportations, the cost can be recovered. The rest is to enjoy the various benefits brought by the new technology.
Under this stimulus, Ellington has set off a wave of chasing new technologies.
A few short days later, bicycles began to appear in the streets and lanes of Ellington.
The first bikes were not sold, but were digested directly in-house, and were assigned to those who needed to run back and forth to convey messages and transport light objects-of course, it was not easy to teach them to ride a bike.
Fortunately, adults said that they have a strong sense of autonomy. With a little training, they can quickly master the tricks one by one, but children ...
"Woohoo--brother, don't let go--"
Elijah clutched the handlebar of the car, crying begging Tang En not to let go.
"Trust me, I've been holding you behind you, just ride."
Tang En continuously encourages Ilya, of course, the one commonly used by parents on bicycles on earth ...
"I, I see ... I try ..."
Fiona, who was passing by not far away, saw this scene, her face complex.
It would be better to be stupid if I knew this ...
After the first bicycle was taken off the line, Tang En tried it. Then Fiona wanted to try it. Tang En joked that she couldn't. As a result, Fiona got angry and learned to ride in minutes. Elsa and Tina show off.
Now after seeing Tang Enjiao Ilya riding, Fiona realized that she was a complete fool.
Win face, lose life ...
The advent of bicycles has greatly ignited the enthusiasm of the residents of Ellington. This is the first time that they have seen this kind of purely mechanical construction-what? carriage? Sorry, the carriage needs Malay too ...
Just two wheels, a chain, and pedals, after a clever combination, can go forward at a very fast speed, and they can also grasp the direction by themselves. Short-distance travel is not too convenient!
Especially when the tires are advancing on the asphalt road, the feeling of being smooth and comfortable, and letting you master it, is so cool!
Therefore, immediately after the second batch of bicycles went offline, there was a rush of buying in Ellington.
The price of a bicycle is only ten gold coins.
what? Too expensive! ?
Then you must be a slacker!
Even during the Hogg period, ten gold coins were just a three-month savings, not to mention the overwhelming reforms of Lord Tang En over the past three months, everyone's income has been greatly improved. Now I work casually for a month There are several gold coins in income. If you work harder, grow extra cash for the lord, or go to work part-time, it will not be a problem to earn more than ten gold coins a month!
Use one month's income to buy something developed by the Lord Lord, which even the emperors do not have, is it worth it?
Simply worth it!
In the three months since Tang En took office, the income of Ellington residents has tripled in three months, but after the income surge, the residents did not have a corresponding way of consumption, making the Lord ’s House unable to recover gold coins. Fiona has been criticized for a long time. Until the launch of comics and novels a few days ago, it was regarded as a successful recovery of a small amount of gold coins.
Then now, the appearance of the bike finally gave them a chance to spend money, so the salary that Tang En had just sent out again went back to the vault of the lord's house, and Fiona's face also smiled again.
Fiona, who is so wealthy, asked Tang En to shake her head and even talk to her: "Don't care too much about gold coins and wealth. Frankly speaking, we are the ruling class, and the economy is a tool in our hands. It is true that we use wealth to stimulate residents to produce and create The purpose is that the increase in income has brought them an affluent life. The real reason for them to become rich is to increase their productivity after active work. "
"I understand the truth, but I just like to watch the number of gold coins increase."
Fiona's expression "You are upset, you can fire me", and the look clearly felt that Tang En opened his eyes to talk nonsense-who in the world does not love gold coins?
Tang En slaps his forehead and tells a former nobleman and a former nobleman of businessmen that these are really too early.
He can't always tell Fiona that because productivity determines the production relationship, and the economic foundation determines the superstructure, the contradiction between the productivity and the production relationship, and the contradiction between the economic foundation and the superstructure must be resolved, because his ultimate goal is the whole people. All soldiers prepare for chaos, so making money yourself is to better drive the economic situation in the direction you want ...
Of course she doesn't listen. After all, she is a woman, she only listens to what she wants to hear-even if Fiona is the smarter one, she is also a woman.
I am afraid that in her eyes, the ultimate purpose of making money herself is to enjoy the life of a local tyrant, oh, no, she knows that she is a mage ... So in her eyes, she makes money to build a mage tower?
Tang En couldn't help sighing, was she just as ambitious in her eyes?
No matter how you want to build a tower of Babel?
When the economy is active to a certain extent, the emergence of new things always carries a trend, just like this trend, led by the small sales reporters of Datang Daily.
As the influence of Datang Daily has gradually expanded and the income of residents of Ellington has been increasing, Datang Daily has opened a subscription service half a month after its birth and delivered daily reports to the door. All that is required to pay each month is additional Ten Silver Coins-Although a bit expensive, some people have begun to enjoy this life of spending money on services.
Previously, the newspaper sellers ran delivery from house to house in the morning with their feet, but the situation has changed since the emergence of bicycles.
"Ding Jingling ~"
A crisp bell sounded, and then a "click" sound, a new Datang Daily was put in the mailbox at the door, and when the owner heard the sound went out, the salesman had gone by bike Already.
After breakfast, those who need to go to work push their bikes out.
"I'm going to work. Jingle Bell ~"
After saying hello, I met other coworkers on the road, and joked along the bike to the factory area where I work quickly. In just a few days, it has become a new routine for many people.
If other Earth traversers came to Ellington at this time, I am afraid that they would have crossed the modern era. There is no way. Except for clothing and architectural styles, the current Ellington is too modern and urban style. It's similar.
Whether it's a neat street layout, a flat asphalt road, or street lamps erected on both sides of the street-it's worth mentioning that these street lamps are crystal with constant illumination, not electric lights.
The reason why electric lamps are not used is because Tang En, the filament material, ca n’t get it. He does n’t know how to refine tungsten. He only knows that bamboo charcoal can be used—but obviously it ’s not easy to use. Directly and happily solve the problem with simple and violent magic methods.
Constant lighting is the solution he found temporarily, because Ellington is still small, and the number of street lights is barely acceptable. If it continues to expand, he must find a way to find new ways to solve the lighting problem—he It is impossible to keep squatting in the warehouse for constant lighting of street lights. Maybe the fluorescent grass of the elves is a good solution, environmental protection and energy saving ...
If the previous things only affected the lives of the residents of Ellington in a subtle way, then the emergence of bicycles directly changed their lives, and the change in travel modes led to faster information transmission and indirect improvements in work efficiency. Speeding up the pace of life.
The residents of Ellington who have been living in depression for a long time after so many years of depression, finally suppressed their energy by the birth of bicycles, in the month of the 849 celebration month of the order calendar, broke out.
And this explosive power made all the spies who recently came to Ellington to inquire about the news, all stunned.
