Chapter 72: Bicycles that are not very useful

"Bicycle. What is this?" King Qin asked.

"This, it's better to take a look at the king, you know." Shang Wen said. The explanation must be unclear, so it's better to look at it. maybe. Capable of mass production. If the Qin Army can deploy in large quantities, then the Qin Army will be a motorized unit. All advance on wheels. Shangwen felt very happy thinking of this.

"Okay, let's take a look together." Said that King Qin had bypassed the case and walked out of the big account, Shang Wen followed.

Xi Lao is installing gears and chains at this time. This thing is fairly easy to install. Without much effort. Xi Lao was about to put some oil on it. "The King of Qin is here." Came. Elder Xi hurried out to greet him.

See Xi Lao kneeling outside the big tent. "Get up. You don't need so much courtesy." Qin Wang said, waving his hand.

"Xie Wang," Xi Lao stood up.

Walk into the big account. King Qin looked around for a week. Pointing to the bicycle and said: "This is the bicycle."

"Yes, Lord." Xi Lao said quickly.

"How does this work?" King Qin asked.

Xi Lao looked at the bicycle sadly. Xi Lao didn't know how to use it either.

"My lord, let the ministers demonstrate." Shang Wen volunteered to stand up. In this age, who will. It is probably myself. Shangwen can only do his part.

Shangwen launches bicycles. Move your legs across the beam of the bicycle. Then sit on the seat. I don't know how this thing is done. It's so comfortable to do. Shang Wen thought in his heart. Then Shangwen single-footed as a fulcrum. Step on the pedal with the other foot. With a harder pedal, the bicycle began to move forward. Shang Wen also took advantage of the trend to ride a bicycle.

"Yeah." The generals let out a surprised voice. Watching Shang Wen riding a bicycle back and forth.

"En." The widow also came to try. "Qin Wang said eagerly.

Shang Wen got off the car and gave the car to King Qin. King Qin rode on his bicycle as Shangwen. At the beginning, I couldn't walk autonomously when I went out. The main reason is that the balance is out of control. Shang Wenli immediately talked about the essentials. King Qin set off again. I went out very smoothly. King Qin rode his bicycle back and forth. The generals watched. I also want to give it a try. Shang Wen took a look. There are doors. Qin State now has cavalry and infantry with bicycles. Hehe. That mobility is beyond words.

If you compare the cavalry to a tank, add the heavy cavalry that is being formed. Then the State of Qin has strong mobility. The infantry is then equipped with bicycles. think about it. The cavalry in front cleared the way. A large group of soldiers on bicycles chased after him. Hey, the ancient version of blitzkrieg.

Shang Wen is happier as he thinks about it. In this case, just place an order. Then it is a huge astronomical number. Shang Wen's saliva almost came out.

King Qin got out of the car and gave the bicycle to someone else. Let others try it. King Qin stood among the generals and looked at the bicycle at this time. It seems to be thinking about something. Shang Wen silently calculated how much a bicycle could sell.

"How do you think this bicycle is useful?" Qin Wang asked.

"This." The generals will lead you to look at me and I will look at you.

"The minister thinks that this bicycle is not very useful to our army." It was Wang Jian who spoke first. Then the words spoken. Shattered my dreams.

how come. how could it be possible. This is a bicycle. I think there was a bicycle blitz in the Japanese army back then.

"The final general also thinks that this bicycle is not very useful." A general agreed.

"The final general also thinks. This bicycle, used in the battle formation, can not form a battle formation in a short time." A general said a reason.

"Yeah. The general also thought. This thing must be controlled with both hands to drive. But then, the weapon can't be carried. Qin Jun can only use it with swords and axes. But those soldiers who hold beryllium don't have hands. It's difficult." A general stood up and continued.

"Even if it is equipped with bows, crossbows and swordsmen. But the speed is faster than that of infantry. In this way, the whole formation is opened at once, and mutual support is impossible to talk about." A general said. To.

OMG so many shortcomings. It’s too late for this bicycle to appear. Shang Wen was completely disappointed.

"Also." A general continued. Shang Wen couldn't listen anymore.

"This thing is slower than the cavalry, but faster than the cavalry. Soldiers cannot change quickly when used in battle. Once our army encounters an enemy attack during the march, our army's position will inevitably be disrupted." Shang Wen heard the general's words, really. I'm not interested in listening anymore. This is really a naked blow. It was so useless to find something that was finally researched by myself.

This kind of discussion is still going on, and Shang Wen doesn't want to listen anymore. Originally, the appearance of bicycles laid some foundations for aircraft manufacturing. I think the Rat brothers bought bicycles back then. If there is no such knowledge as the basis. It is difficult for the airplane to improve. Now this thing has just appeared. It was eliminated in the war. Next. What direction to turn. Civil. Just kidding how much civilian value this thing has. Shang Wen couldn't imagine thinking about it. Could it be that he died as soon as he was born. Shang Wen was a little unwilling. Look at Xi Lao again. It sounds a little worried. after all. This thing is made by Xi Lao. Upon hearing it, there is no such thing. It must be uncomfortable in my heart.

Discussed for a long time. The estimated result is already out. That is, this thing must not get military orders. The army definitely doesn't use it. The question is, why not use it. Shang Wen couldn't understand. Hands. The problem is the hands. Shang Wen looked at his hands. What's wrong with this.

at this time. Meng Tian rode a bicycle and rode again with a halberd. The issue is. Meng Tian holding a halberd is difficult to make a U-turn, or hack and kill. Originally holding a halberd requires a certain degree of flexibility. But, riding on a bicycle, I'm afraid. You can't walk freely. But get off there. correct. It must be so. When you get out of the car, others get off as well. There are bicycles all over the floor. Put your feet there. Step on the bike. Thus. You can't stand still. Thought of this. Shang Wen was a little eye-catching.

After all, it turned out to be the difference between the combat method of ancient cold weapons and the combat method of modern hot weapons. Guns are now being used in combat, so just get out of the car. Get down. You can fight with a gun. But ancient times are different. Cold weapons are used. Must face to face. Form a certain position. Form a rush to kill. This is the difference.

With a gun. The advantages of bicycles can be brought into play. Sometimes it can be used as a cover. the difference. This is the difference. In this era where swords and spears are still the mainstay. Bicycles are not very useful. This is why bicycles can appear in modern times rather than ancient times.
