Barbarian in Douluo

Chapter 165 Chapter 167 The Time Has Arrived
This steam train devoured all the steel production of the steel factory for more than half a year, and I had to overcome countless difficulties to manufacture it. Like my own child, how could it be sold to these profiteers?
The merchants were neither discouraged nor angry. In their opinion, everything was valuable and could be purchased, and this ferocious steel beast was no exception.They always have a way to get what they want.Even if Lou Gao refuses to sell, there is still Wuhundian to discuss.

"Don't be so outrageous, Master Lou Gao, have you never thought of letting it run on the mainland when you made such a huge and hideous machine? It is impossible for the blacksmith association and Wuhun City to lay the rails to Within the borders of the two empires."

"Yes, Master Lou Gao, think about it carefully."

Many businessmen surrounded Lou Gao, who was short, wide and fat, like a group of adults looking at children, gathering a lot of pressure invisibly, but Lou Gao didn't care, and directly used his wide palm to push away the layers. Obstacles, got out of the encirclement of a group of profiteers.

"That's my business too! You don't care!"

Lou Gao left directly and ran to find Tang Sangang, but many businessmen didn't give up yet and followed up one after another.

At this time Tang Sangang was enjoying everyone's rainbow farts, and I have to say that he also liked the feeling of being praised very much.

"Boss Tang is awesome!!"

"You can always come up with something new for us. This time really opened our eyes."

"Xiao Gangjing, your master, I really admire you today. You have strength far beyond ordinary people, but you are still thinking about ordinary people's affairs. You will definitely use this kind of machine like a steam engine."

The corners of Tang Sanbang's mouth turned up, with a smile on his face, he nodded and said: "This is necessary, this steam train is a great weapon that benefits the country and the people! It will connect the whole Douluo into one, and then change the world!" "

The emergence of steam trains not only changed the transportation industry, but also brought great convenience to people's production and life. More importantly, it shortened the distance from the center to the local area, broke the constraints of the geographical environment, and disintegrated local forces. , to strengthen the centralization of power, if the Tiandou Empire had steam trains for hundreds of years in the morning, where would there be such duchies and kingdoms?

At this time, Lou Gao was in the front, and the caravans were behind, and rushed over. Lou Gao ignored the frequent questions of the merchants behind him, and ran to Tang Sangang to push away the crowd and said, "Those profiteers, go find someone else." Deal with it, I will never allow Lougao to be sold no matter what!"

Tang Sangang nodded, summoned two Wuhundian deacons, and asked them to take the group of businessmen to find Qian Jin, the chief person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce. He had already prepared a place similar to a product launch event to deal with the problems in these people's minds. question mark.

All components in the entire train industry will not be sold to the outside world. This is a state-owned enterprise in the future.

However, in order to impress these profiteers with rare goods, after the steam car is completed, part of it will be sold to the outside world. This novel vehicle limited to the entire continent should arouse great repercussions.

When all the merchants were taken away, Tang Sangang gave Lou Gao a look, "Now is the time for you to become famous, what are you waiting for, Mr. Lou?"

Lou Gao looked at the residents of Wuhun City who were still watching, and the four apprentices waiting on the front of the car, and smiled heartily, "Thank you then." Lou Gao jumped three meters high excitedly, jumped to the top of the train call,
"Dear residents of Wuhun City! There are also friends who came from afar! I am Master Lou Gao, the maker of this steam train. To thank everyone for coming to watch the masterpieces of our Blacksmith Association and Wuhun City, anyone can Get into the train compartment and experience the feeling of this huge beast speeding on the ground!"

Everyone's attention was attracted, and after repeated confirmation, they entered the compartment first to experience this novel means of transportation.This lively scene was only seen in the news during the Spring Festival travel season in the past.

"Go in and experience it too, and tell me if you have any good suggestions."

Tang Sangang smiled at the master, his parents and the others, and invited them to take a ride too. In the days when the soul guide engine had no clue, the steam train will be one of the most frequently used means of transportation in the future.Although the cabin is relatively simple now, it will definitely move towards a more comfortable direction in the future.

The staff of the newspaper office are writing and drawing the whole picture of the steam train, trying to make sure that tomorrow’s newspaper is still in time. Those who did not get on the train can only wait for the next train with regret on their faces. Lou Gao got into the cab again, and the sound of the whistle sounded again , the train started again.

The era of trains has come, just like the wheel of history, no one can stand in front of it.

the next day,
Wuhun City's newspaper headlines published all matters related to the steam train, and at the same time praised the vital role played by Master Lou Gao and the blacksmith association in the process of making the steam train. The master is very respectful, and people's stereotyped image of the blacksmith profession has also been greatly changed.

Coupled with the people's spontaneous publicity after taking the steam train yesterday, the residents of Wuhun City are now well known about the steam train.

Many traders saw the timing, bought many Wuhun City newspapers, and brought the news to other places. Soon after, all the forces on the mainland knew about the steam train, a new type of transportation machine, and countless people flocked to think about it. Want to buy, but are prevaricated with various reasons.

Even if the two empires sent envoys to come, they still had a bad nose.

It wasn't until half a year later that the popularity of the steam train dropped, but the advent of another means of transportation brought the popularity of Wuhun City to a peak again.

That's the bike.

Dugu Yan also lived up to Tang Sanbar’s high expectations after taking the steam train. It took half a year to finally successfully produce the first batch of vulcanized rubber, and after repeated trials, the pneumatic tires were finally produced successfully. It took nearly 50 years for pneumatic tires to come out, but Dugu Yan succeeded in only half a year.

This is naturally due to the various materials provided by Tang Sangang, but it is also due to Duguyan's love for the subject of chemistry, which is why she can overcome various difficulties. When various problems arise, she alone solves them.

With tires, the advent of bicycles is naturally a breeze.

Tang Sangang only provided a sample bike, and the bicycle factory copied a batch of them.

Dugu Bo watched Tang San riding the newly assembled first bicycle around the square with ease, and was puzzled in his heart. What's the use of making such a thing?

Commoners can't afford it, and nobles can't.

He also tried to ride a lap, but he was naturally extremely clumsy. He could use his strong body control to keep his balance on the spot, but it was much worse after riding.

"Master Tang, you have worked so hard to get my granddaughter to make rubber for half a year, but the finished bicycle seems useless." Dugu Bo expressed his doubts,

"How could it be? Rubber has a wide range of uses. Now it is only used on tires. Don't underestimate bicycles. This is the most popular means of transportation, and it is also the last stage of travel that is convenient for people."

Steam trains connect cities, buses connect neighborhoods, and bicycles connect villages and houses.

In the previous life, even after hundreds of years of energy improvements for these three, from steam power to fuel power, and from fuel power to electric power, and bicycles have also been improved from manpower to electricity, these three modes of travel still dominate. Wide range of practicality.

Compared with expensive horse-drawn carriages, bicycles do not require people to feed and take care of them, and are cheaper, more free to move, easy to control, and will not cause the horse to be frightened and out of control.Compared with the 11th road, the same distance must also consume less energy on the bicycle.

It is simply the most practical means of transportation.

Dugu Bo was noncommittal, as long as his granddaughter was happy. When she saw the yellow oozy rubber change into a black hard and elastic tire, her eyes were full of joy. Grandpa is also happy.

"By the way, what do you want to do with the production task of concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid that you entrusted to Yanyan? Could it be for fireworks? Lack of experimental metal, but it's enough to listen to it."

Tang Sangang parked the car and looked at Dugu Bo with a mysterious smile, did you hear it?
The musket is really loud when fired!

Concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid are one of the necessary prerequisite skills for the production of muskets. How can you produce custom-loaded bullets if you don’t point them out?
"Don't worry about it, just like this bicycle, when the time comes, you will know what it is for."

"Besides, do you only want to hear the sound of black powder? Just imagine, increasing the charge of black powder by twenty times! What kind of loud noise will penetrate the world!"

Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment. This kid said that he had to configure fireworks strictly according to the ratio of formula and charge, so he configured a few skyrocketing fireworks. He really didn't think about it because of his preconceived ideas, but what if it was really enlarged by twenty times?
Then this is simply a full blow from the Soul Emperor!
Deafening!Resound through the sky!
Throughout the ages, few man-made objects can achieve such destructive power!
If it is expanded twenty times!Even a hundred times!
Hiss~ Dugu Bo couldn't even imagine himself surviving an explosion like that?The light and heat released in an instant will sweep across the body like a hurricane, and the strong shock wave is enough to spread a hundred meters away. In the loud noise that shakes the sky, even if he releases the spirit avatar, he is not sure that he can survive it intact .

Seeing Dugu Bo's shocked expression, Tang Sangang laughed, "Don't think too much, I just remind you not to pile up black powder in large quantities, otherwise some accidents will happen, and the consequences will be too serious."

Dugu Bo nodded solemnly, but there were other words in his heart.

"I believe you ghost, you are very smart, you will definitely be useful in the future."
