Chapter 1020 Overloading
"How about the rubber car?"
Lu Xuanshui's first feeling was that Liu Peng asked the wrong person. You must know that this is not a question he could answer. Although he has been deeply involved in this matter, and like Wu Menghui, he has become an external member of the small group Liu Yirong, the problem now is that so many officers from the Haibei Army are eyeing this group of rubber chariots, and he dare not talk nonsense in front of them.
Therefore, he immediately pushed this question to Wu Menghui who was standing aside: "We have to ask our boss Wu about this matter. Boss Wu is knowledgeable and is my old boss. He will never be wrong when it comes to things!"
Wu Menghui also said with a smile: "Then let me tell you, Miss Disguise, how much does this rubber car cost?"
Although Wu Menghui also wanted to get the first batch of rubber carts at any cost, he knew that he could not rob the senior generals of the Haibei Army, so he found such an excuse to deliberately send him off. However, Liu Yirong said confidently: "Shopkeeper Wu, are you asking about the cost of rubber carts?"
"Um!"
But Liu Yirong gave Wu Menghui a completely unexpected answer: "It's very expensive, but it's worth the money. Do you know where the capacity limit of this rubber ** car is?"
What is the capacity limit of rubber** trucks?
Wu Menghui knew that Liu Yirong had picked a top-notch horse, and during this test and identification, a pack of grain was actually not 50 kilograms, which is 47 or 8 kilograms. However, the horses that were pulling this single set of rubber ** car have begun to make full efforts. Although there is still plenty of effort, Wu Menghui knew that it was almost reached. If the load was increased, it would probably hurt the horsepower.
Therefore, Wu Menghui immediately asked: "Can you add a few hundred kilograms, two hundred kilograms or three hundred kilograms!"
After all, the load limit of three and four iron cars is only more than two thousand pounds. Wu Menghui couldn't believe that the rubber car pulled by a single horse can be comparable to the iron car pulled by a three-horse or even four-horse. No matter how magical the rubber car is, it should have a limit.
But Liu Yirong obviously saw Wu Menghui's idea, and she immediately said very neatly: "Double it for me!"
And Liu Ezhe, who had been hiding behind him, quickly cheered up his new sister: "Come on, sister, come on, sister!"
Double? Double!
Wu Menghui felt that he had heard his ears wrongly. Should he really double it!
It’s not bad to add two hundred or three hundred kilograms. Liu Yirong actually doubled this number, which is almost the load of a single iron car!
But the next moment Wu Menghui really didn't dare to blink. He found that Liu Yirong's so-called double-overall is completely different from his understanding. He thought that Liu Yirong asked the teachers and students of the School to add a few hundred kilograms to the 1,600 kilograms.
But he didn't expect that Liu Yirong didn't care about the record of exceeding two thousand kilograms. Although an average iron cart had to bear two thousand kilograms of goods, at least three horses would have to be loaded. Sometimes, if the horsepower was not enough, four horses would have to be pulled. But now Liu Yirong actually ordered the teachers and students of the School of Study to double the amount of 1,600 kilograms.
This has exceeded Wu Menghui's ideal range. He thinks this is an incredible thing. It's just such an iron car. How can it be much more than a four-set iron car after changing to this rubber wheel!
His eyes were staring at the loading site of the teachers and students of the School of Learning, for fear of missing a detail or something that these teachers and students of the School of Learning, but the facts proved that he was completely wrong!
Not to mention him, even the senior generals of the Haibei Army did not expect such a magical scene. One thousand and six hundred kilograms were already above two sets of iron ** cars and close to three sets of iron ** cars. But now Liu Yirong has to double the foundation.
But everyone can breathe a sigh of relief!
Although Liu Yirong doubled, the final load capacity did not really double. This single rubber ** truck loaded a total of 60 packs of grain in total, rather than the 64 packs that Liu Yirong said.
But everyone soon understood that even three thousand jin is an astronomical figure! You should know that four sets of iron **cars cannot achieve such freight capacity, which is equivalent to a one-horse-torn rubber **car that is pulled by one horse is better than a four-horse-torn iron **car. No wonder Liu Yirong directly crossed the record of two thousand jin and directly impacted three thousand jin!
Wu Menghui and Lu Xuanshui can be said to be real experts. They know that the actual loading quantity did not reach 3,000 kilograms, which is only 2,000 kilograms. But the more they know, the more they think that this rubber car is simply a magical artifact among the artifacts!
This can no longer be described as a magical tool. Lu Xuanshui had worked as a handlebar in the past. He immediately said: "If I had such a rubber wheel truck, I would have earned the family business of marrying a few wives in a year. How could I get angry this year!"
This statement may be a bit ridiculous, but Wu Menghui said to himself: "I don't know if a horse can pull three thousand pounds?"
As they were talking, the teachers and students of the School of Learning have already commanded the rubber car. Now they dare not waste any horsepower at all. They also try their best to replenish the energy of the horse. The rubber car has started to move!
Even if you are not an old handlebar, you can see that this white horse has definitely used up 120% of its strength, so it walks a little slowly, but after all, it moves. A horse can actually drag three thousand kilograms of goods!
This is too amazing!
Wu Menghui was stunned. He finally realized that he said to Liu Peng: "Mr. Governor, our Wu family carriage carriage also needs a batch of rubber carriages. No matter it is a single set of double sets of rubber carriages, there is no problem!"
Although he, as an old handlebar, knew that the record of carrying 3,000 kilograms of a single horse was actually of no actual value. Not only did it damage horsepower, but it could not find such a good horse in the usual horse pull, and the carriage loaded with a single carriage was only 2,000 kilograms, but he was already impressed by this revolutionary rubber pull cart.
Although a single horse cannot pull three thousand kilograms, if a double horse or a three horse can pull three thousand kilograms, he has discovered another invincible advantage of the rubber car.
That is, in addition to the load capacity of at least doubled than that of the iron-wheel, the walking speed is almost doubled compared to the iron-wheel speed. It is already the limit to the iron-wheel that can travel thirty or forty miles a day, but according to Wu Menghui's observation, the rubber-wheel car can carry more cargo but can travel at least seventy miles or even more. In other words, if the iron-wheel car can only walk one round and one round a day, the rubber-wheel car can walk two rounds.
For a carriage, this speed indicator is more important than the load capacity, representing double the profit. Therefore, Wu Menghui no longer cares about his requests and may offend a large group of military generals.
As for the cost of this rubber car, Wu Menghui was completely left behind. He knew that Liu Yirong raised funds everywhere in the development of this rubber car, and even evacuated a lot of funds from him and Lu Xuanshui. The price of a rubber car was definitely a sky-high price.
However, the weight-bearing experiment just now made Wu Menghui understand at the first time that no matter how expensive the rubber car is, it has amazing value. As a transportation giant in Haibei Town, he must not miss the opportunity of rubber car.
Liu Yirong laughed when she heard Wu Menghui's request. She told Wu Menghui: "Shopkeeper Wu, our rubber car is very expensive, so expensive that if you use him to transport goods, you will definitely lose money!"
Ji Jinsi had already taken over the topic and said, "Yes, you just load some more goods, but if this rubber cart falls into our Haibei Army, it will definitely exert its power to turn decay into magic, so the first batch will be tried by our military!"
Although he also felt that the record of 3,000 pounds of a single horse was meaningless, and the actual application of a single horse could have 1,600 pounds was a good ending, but the highest record of 3,000 pounds alone was worth the military's efforts to win more rubber cars at all costs.
After all, there is no term "expensive" in the military's dictionary. A regiment-battalion-level public security combat operation often costs tens of thousands of taels of war, let alone a decisive battle of tens of thousands of people.
Although these rubber carts seem to have nothing to do with victory or defeat, the senior generals are very aware that the victory of the war is based on the wheels. If any unit of the Haibei Army can get a batch of rubber carts, the tactics will definitely change revolutionarily.
So no matter how expensive the rubber car is, it is still easy for the Haibei Army to get more rubber car at all costs. For the victory of the war, Haibei Town can do whatever it takes.
It was precisely because of this that Ji Jinsi asked Liu Yirong about the details: "Miss Dislike, our Haibei Army style does not ask about the price. Anyway, it is the governor who pays the money. I just don't understand. This is obviously an ordinary iron car, why did you change such a magical change after changing two rubber wheels?"
Liu Peng couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "That's all the credit for vulcanized rubber!"
Nie Chuan next to him immediately said: "The batch of rubber ** cars developed by the Learning Institute not only use new rubber tires, but also use a large number of new rolling bearings and new lubricants."
Although Nie Chuan wanted to be as easy to understand as possible, everyone still couldn't understand what the terms he said meant. He only knew that the rubber ** car developed by the School of Learning is definitely a truly high-end product.
