Chapter 639

~5 min read 879 words

In the following time.

The large hall quieted down.

Everyone who had seen the rice paper was confused and didn't know what this thing was at all.

They had never seen such a strange thing.

Some people didn't even need half a cup of tea time before handing it to the next person.

The quality of a group of teachers was still there, and they didn't make a loud noise.

Fearing to interrupt the train of thought of the others.

After all, this was an opportunity for the position of Dean.

If missed, then they could only let outsiders come to be their Dean.

They themselves couldn't be, but they also wanted to let others try.

They didn't want to give this opportunity to outsiders.

Otherwise, if this spread, they would also be shameful.

Until a long time had passed, when the last person finished reading.

The large hall immediately became lively.

"Bicycle? What is this thing?"

"Don't know, never heard of it, never seen it."

"Is this the innovation the Crown Prince mentioned?"

"It is indeed powerful; we haven't even seen it, and the Crown Prince has already produced the blueprint."

"Innovation, research, this is science."

"There are dimensions on it; according to these dimensions, it should be possible to manufacture it."

"Just don't know if it can meet the Crown Prince's requirements?"

A group of scholars discussed, and no one knew what this thing was.

"Crown Prince, this bicycle, what kind of carriage is this?"

"What is the use?"

Someone asked, because they really didn't know what the use was.

"This question is asked well."

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at that person with appreciation.

"This bicycle is for the convenience of people's travel."

"Do you see the cushion in the middle?"

"That is for sitting on, hold the handle in front with both hands, step on it with both feet, and the two wheels will roll forward."

"This bicycle, if you manufacture it, it will be convenient for everyone to travel."

"Usually, the distance traveled in a day is about fifty miles, and you are exhausted."

"But if you ride this bicycle, it only takes about an hour to finish these fifty miles."

"This facilitates travel and saves time."

Ying Ying Zi Ye talked eloquently, and everyone was stunned.

Is this bicycle so powerful?

You know, in Great Qin, only wealthy merchants and officials can travel by carriage.

As for the rest of the commoners, they only walk, and they don't have money to take a carriage.

If this bicycle is manufactured, everyone can travel a hundred miles a day!

This is many times simpler and faster for transportation!

But soon someone shook their head; they looked at the blueprint, and the appearance of this bicycle appeared in their minds.

Just two wheels, and they are straight, not one wheel on the left and right; can this thing really run in balance?

"Crown Prince, there is a question I don't know if I should ask?"

A young man stood up and bowed to Ying Ying Zi Ye.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked over; it was the same person who asked the question just now.

This person is quite special; among the people present, he is the youngest.

About twenty years old, with a gentle and elegant scholar temperament.

His clothes are simple and unadorned, and he seems to be frugal or poor.

The most strange thing is that there is a shallow mole on the left corner of his mouth that is not very obvious.

If this mole were on a woman, it would be a proper beauty mole.

But on the corner of this young man's mouth, it looks a bit special.

Such a person can be remembered at a glance.

When asking the question just now, Ying Ying Zi Ye noticed this person.

Now it is still him asking the question, which makes it easy to remember this person.

"What question, let's hear it."

"Crown Prince, as far as I know, this thing called a bicycle, if it is made into a real object, it has one wheel in the front and back."

"In this case, how to keep it parallel?"

"Even balance cannot be achieved, how to ride it for dozens or hundreds of miles?"

"If there were one wheel on the left and right, that would be easy to say; balance is not a problem."

The others couldn't help but nod; this young man was right.

Things that are not balanced are hard to even stand upright, so how to ride?

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at this young man in surprise.

Hitting the nail on the head, this young man's thinking is good.

Being able to think of this point is truly not easy.

"This is not a big problem."

"As long as you can manufacture it, I will experiment for you to see."

"But don't make it too heavy, otherwise you won't be able to ride it."

"There is data on it; try to manufacture it according to the size data on it."

"The most important thing is the bearing problem."

Ying Ying Zi Ye rambled on.

Explained some of the advantages and disadvantages of this bicycle.

For example, stepping will be tiring, and all need foot power to operate.
