Continuously expanding the scope of activities is humanity's long-cherished wish.

When collecting food for a living, expanding the scope of activities means more food sources, and having more food can develop your own ethnic group and increase your chances of reproduction.

Therefore, for this purpose, humans have been constantly researching to run faster, walk faster, and to travel the farthest distance in the shortest time.

Due to the limitations of the human race itself, they took the attention of animals, so they had mounts and beast cars, various docile bipedal or quadruped dinosaurs, quadruped animals, land birds, etc., all of which were tamed.

People no longer swim and cross the rivers and oceans, and invented paddle boats, sailboats, etc., and could still go far.

Even as humans' "force value" becomes higher and higher, and the invention of high-altitude escape equipment begins to turn their targets to large flying creatures.

However, due to its particularity, birds are not so tame.

But no matter what, the range of activities is getting bigger and bigger.

For two thousand years, the ship was only very convenient, but it could only advance along the coast on the sea. Therefore, within the main range of human activities, the beast carriages on land definitely occupy a dominant position.

However, beasts are actually organisms, just like humans, and they also face various problems, such as food needs, physical limitations, illness and death, susceptibility to frightening, etc., so their use cost is quite high, and ordinary civilians cannot afford it, and it is not particularly convenient.

The beast carts I see in the city now are basically free of civilians, either private cars from wealthy families or owned by various chambers of commerce. Those driving people are just hired to work.

It was not until the invention of the steam engine and the emergence of the steam train that the commuting between towns along the railway became much more convenient.

Even though the train has just appeared, the infrastructure consumption is a bit large, resulting in the cost of using the train is not very low. However, with the upgrading of technology, it will soon be close to the affordability of civilians.

However, trains also have problems. Their activities are affected by the railway tracks. They can only travel long distances between cities where the railways are laid. They still cannot be used in cities, and they cannot feel much convenience far away from the railways.

Moreover, trains are not personal tools. There are only a few railways in total, and they cannot be used anytime and anywhere according to their own wishes. They can drive wherever they want.

It is precisely because the people participating in the meeting knew these reasons that after the branch secretary explained the bicycle technology, they immediately understood the benefits of this kind of car.

"I just don't know if it's easy to learn. If it's easy to learn, then this kind of car is simply created to facilitate personal transportation in the city."

"This is true. Most people are still walking now, which greatly affects efficiency. If you have a bicycle, it will be very different."

"This bicycle is great. It can not only be used in cities, but also between towns and villages. As long as the villages are not too far away, it can basically take several hours of travel. This will greatly accelerate communication between people. The development of civilization is inseparable from communication between people."

"Yes, the places you could go to before were only half or even one-third of your time, and even one-third of your previous activity can be expanded, which is very useful for many people."

"I think this tricycle is also good, it can carry goods and attract people. It is very suitable to be a tool for some civilians to make money to support their families. It is very versatile."

"The most important freedom is to go wherever you want as long as it is not too far away."

"It's very suitable for personal use. This is an important part of our current traffic structure. We have trains, airships, ships, and even animal cars from a distance, but at close range, there is really nothing suitable. I just don't know if it's expensive and can civilians afford it?"

After the branch secretary finished speaking, he kept watching them discussing technology and uses. Now that he heard them talk about popularization, he said, "Don't worry about this. The technology submitted by this reserve is very comprehensive, and there are many patents for related manufacturing equipment. With our Blackstone City's capabilities, it is fine to achieve mass production."

"The manufacturing technology requirements of bicycles are not high, and the materials are steel and rubber, and there is no need for expensive materials. If it is mass-produced, the price will not be very expensive."

"It's also light and small, and you can ride as you want. It's okay to carry people and cargo. You don't need to worry like taking care of animals. As long as you are careful not to treat too roughly, it's okay. I think it's still very attractive to ordinary people."

After hearing what the branch director said, everyone present felt relieved. Steel and rubber are common.

There are not only coal mines in the Black Stone Mountains to the west, but also some large iron ore, so there is no shortage of steel in the city. There are large rubber forests around Jinghu Lake in the south, and there are now many villages that rely on rubber for their living.

Every month's new invention journal, whether it is headquarters or local, is something they must pay attention to. According to recollections, they did not find similar inventions elsewhere.

The only thing related is the wooden pedaling thing, and it has been divided into miscellaneous things. The patent basically means no, and the invention points are also symbolic for one point, and each scientific researcher can only apply for "miscellaneous" ten times in his life, so the impact can be ignored.

Generally, inventions and creations are traceable, and it is impossible to appear suddenly. It is unlikely that something similar to that of Dong Chen's bicycles should be invented within a month.

But it is not ruled out that like Dong Chen, he has been researching privately, and recently there have been major breakthrough projects, which cannot be stopped.

Whether Dong Chen can get this project and put it into the branch depends on the final query results.

Looking at the people talking below, Tian Gengze knocked on the table and said, "In this way, the normal process must be done. However, in order to learn about the relevant information as soon as possible, you can use the fastest airship to send a letter to ask your friends everywhere, and the fees will be paid by the branch."

"Although this will trouble you a little, as long as the division level is higher and the points ranking is high, it will be beneficial for you, so try to have snacks."

"I understand, branch chief." Everyone agreed with a loud bang.

"Then let's go and go busy."

Tian Gengze announced the meeting, but called Andorf who was sitting next to him, "Andorf, that Dong Chen is your student, isn't he working in your school?"

"It's a bit exaggerating to say something about the student. I haven't taught him anything. I've only been entrusted to take care of him. But I do work in the school's library." Andorf replied briefly.

"Okay, after you go back, you tell him that I will send someone to see the physical objects he made in the afternoon so that he will not run around."

"It's okay. He usually stays in the school library and is very familiar with my assistant. I will notify you. I also want to see how his thing is."

As he said that, Andorf shook his head and smiled, "I seemed a little self-righteous at first, but I seemed to blame this little guy a little wrongly. Maybe I would like to apologize to him."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Tian Gengze became interested when he heard this, pulled Andorf and walked towards his office.

"Walk, I have the latest "Flower Rain Tea" there. I'll try it, and the aroma is very good."
