The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

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

"Why don't you, Your Majesty, take a step and take a look at it?" Shang Wen said. The explanation must be unclear, so it would be better to take a look. Maybe it can be produced in large quantities. If the Qin army can produce it in large quantities,

If you pretend, then the Qin Army is a motorized force. All move forward on wheels. Naofumi thought of this and felt very happy.

"Okay, let's go take a look together." As he said this, King Qin had already walked around the desk and walked out of the tent, followed by Shang Wen.

Xi Lao was installing the gears and chains at this time. This thing was relatively easy to install without much effort. When Xi Lao was about to apply some oil to lubricate it, a sound of "The King of Qin has arrived" came. Xi Lao hurriedly walked out of the tent.

Welcome.

He saw Xi Lao kneeling outside the tent. "Get up. There's no need to be so polite." King Qin waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xi Lao stood up.

Entering the tent, King Qin looked around, pointed to the bicycle and said, "This is the bicycle."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xi Lao said quickly.

"How does this work?" King Qin asked.

Xi Lao looked at the bicycle with a melancholy look on his face. Xi Lao didn't know how to use it.

"Your Majesty, let me demonstrate." Naofumi volunteered to stand up. In this era, who could do it? It was probably him. Naofumi had no choice but to do his duty.

Naofumi pushed out the bicycle, stretched his legs across the crossbar of the bicycle, and sat on the seat. He didn't know what this thing was made of, but it was so comfortable. Naofumi thought in his mind. Then Naofumi used one foot as a fulcrum and the other foot.

He stepped on the pedals and pedaled hard, and the bicycle started to move forward. Naofumi took advantage of the situation and got on the bicycle.

"Yeah." All the generals said in surprise. They looked at Naofumi riding his bicycle back and forth.

"Yes." I want to give it a try," King Qin said eagerly.

Shangwen got off the car and gave it to King Qin. King Qin followed Shangwen's example and rode the bicycle. At first, he couldn't walk on his own. It was mainly because he couldn't control his balance. Shangwen immediately stepped forward and gave the key points. King Qin set off again. It was very smooth.

Then he went out. The King of Qin also rode his bicycle back and forth. The generals watched and wanted to give it a try. Shang Wen saw that there was a way. Now Qin has cavalry, infantry and bicycles. Hey, the mobility is indescribable.

ah.

If the cavalry is compared to tanks, plus the heavy cavalry being formed, then Qin will have strong mobility. The infantry is equipped with bicycles. Think about it. The cavalry in front clears the way, and there are a lot of people riding bicycles behind.

The soldiers chased again. Hey, it’s an ancient version of blitzkrieg.

The more Naofumi thought about it, the happier he became. In this case, as long as the order was placed, it would be a huge astronomical figure. Naofumi's saliva was almost drooling.

King Qin got out of the car and gave the bicycle to others for a try. King Qin stood among the generals and looked at the bicycle. He seemed to be thinking about something. Shangwen was silently calculating how much a bicycle could be sold for.

"What do you think of the use of this bicycle?" King Qin asked.

"Here." The generals look at me and I look at you.

"I think this bicycle is not of great use to our army." It was Wang Jian who spoke first. What he said next shattered his dream.

How is it possible? How is it possible? This is a bicycle. I think back then the Japanese army had a bicycle blitz.

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

"The general also thinks that if this bicycle is used in a battle formation, it will not be possible to form a battle formation in a short time." A general said a reason.

"Yes. The general also believes that this thing must be held by both hands to drive. But in this case, the weapon cannot be carried. Our Qin army can only use it reluctantly with swords and axes. But those soldiers holding beryllium have no hands. It’s difficult.” A general stood up and continued.

"Even if it is equipped to soldiers such as crossbows and swordsmen, the speed is faster than that of infantry. In this way, the entire formation will be spread out at once, and mutual support will be impossible." A general added. arrive.

Oh my God, there are so many shortcomings. This bike appeared at the wrong time. Naofumi was completely disappointed.

"And..." a general continued. Naofumi couldn't listen anymore.

"This thing is slower than cavalry, but faster than cavalry. When used in battle formations, soldiers cannot change formations quickly. Once our army encounters an enemy attack while marching, our army's position will inevitably be disrupted." After listening to the general's words, Naofumi felt really I have no interest in listening anymore. This is really a naked blow. What I finally researched on my own is so useless.

This discussion is still going on, but Naofumi doesn't want to listen anymore. Originally, the emergence of bicycles laid some foundations for aircraft manufacturing. I think the Larter brothers bought bicycles back then. Without this knowledge as a foundation, it would be difficult for aircraft to develop. .Now this thing was eliminated in the war as soon as it came out. What direction will it turn to next? Civilian use. Just kidding, how much civilian value this thing has. Naofumi really can't imagine it. Could it be that it died at birth like this? Naofumi was a little reluctant. He looked at Xi Lao again. He sounded a little worried. After all, this thing was made by Xi Lao. When he heard that it was so unreliable, he must have felt uncomfortable.

After discussing for a long time, the result is probably out. That is, this thing will definitely not get military orders. The army will definitely not use it. The question is, why not. Naofumi can't understand. Hands. The problem is hands. Naofumi looked at his hands. .What’s wrong with this?

At this time, Meng Tian was riding a bicycle, holding a halberd and then riding. The problem was that it was difficult for Meng Tian to make a U-turn, or perform actions such as slashing while holding a halberd. Originally, holding a halberd required a certain amount of flexibility. However, when riding a bicycle, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk freely. But when you get off the bus, by the way, it must be like this. When you get off the bus, others get off as well. There are bicycles all over the ground. Where do you put your feet? Go up. If you do this, you won't be able to stand firmly. Thinking of this, Naofumi became a little confused.

In the final analysis, it turns out to be the difference between the ancient way of fighting with cold weapons and the way of fighting with modern hot weapons. Nowadays, guns are used in combat. Just get off the car, lie down, and shoot to fight. But in ancient times, it was different. Cold weapons were used. They must face each other, form a certain position, and form a charge. This is the difference.

With guns, the advantages of bicycles can be brought into play. Sometimes, they can also be used as bunkers. The difference. This is the difference. In this era where swords and spears are still the mainstay, bicycles are of little use. This This is also why bicycles appeared in modern times rather than in ancient times.
