With more and more fishermen, more and more strange things are encountered. Every day people talk about some big fish in the sea, there are shining pearls in the sea, and the old turtle looks like a millstone. Generally large and so on.

The more time fishermen spend at sea, the more danger they encounter.Ships sank in the sea twice in three days, but obviously, this is a normal phenomenon. The more you harvest, the more dangers that come with it. Even Lin Bei acquiesces to this.He didn't follow these fishermen every day to protect them like a nanny.

As the morale of Wanghai City gradually recovered, Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi planned to restart the war. At this time, a fisherman reported to An Zhongzhi that they had discovered a new island.

Nearly a hundred miles of sea area around Wanghai City has been explored. This was done by the fishermen of Lurong County in the past. Few people have been to farther places. After all, it is too far away, and it is difficult to replenish at sea.Although Lin Bei often went into the sea a few days ago, he only wandered back and forth in the surrounding waters and did not go to the deep sea.

The small island discovered by the fishermen this time is two hundred miles away from the northeast of Wanghai City. Originally, the fishermen would not have gone that far. The fishermen rushed back to Wanghai City after going through a lot of hard work. An Zhong heard the description of the island from the fishermen.Immediately came to report to Lin Bei.

"The rocks on the island are all red?" Lin Bei asked curiously.

"According to what the fisherman said, it is indeed so. Moreover, the island is very large, with many moro fruits and coconut trees, flocks of seabirds, and dense forests in it. The fisherman even said that he heard the roar of beasts, but he did not I haven’t gone in and seen it. My lord, I think that island is still very valuable.”

Not all small islands in the sea are valuable. Many small islands are full of bare rocks. Such small islands have no development value, but if there are dense forests, it will be different.This means that the island has its own kind of ecosystem, and this small island can take advantage of it.

"You mean you need me to take a look?" Lin Bei asked.

"It's not the adults who go by themselves, but take the sergeant with them, and take the opportunity to bring the small island under control and build a watchtower. After all, the small island has been discovered now, which means that more fishermen will go to further seas in the future. "An Zhongzhi thought very far-reaching, of course, the more important thing is to predict the typhoon.

"No problem, then I will go through it once." Lin Bei didn't hesitate.

Although the voyage was a bit far this time, there was no shortage of large ships in Wanghai City, and the sergeants had also trained for a long time, so the time from preparation to departure was quite fast. The sergeants each brought five days of dry food. He brought several large buckets of water, which was enough for a ship of soldiers to use for ten days, but Lin Bei was the most straightforward. He didn't bring anything, and he didn't need to.

The mid-wing boat sailed, and Lin Bei swam in the forefront. If he swam in the wrong direction, his own sergeant would point out the direction.

There are several small islands in the hundreds of miles of Wanghai City. These small islands have no names and no development value. They are all unnamed islands. Wooden and tall, the sergeant lives in the sentry tower. There are three sergeants on each island, and the defense will be changed every six months.

Passing through three sentry towers in a row, except for a rest on a small island, the other two did not stop. Afterwards, Lin Bei and the boat drove out of the hundred-mile sea area of ​​Wanghai City.

"My lord." The sergeant at the bow shouted: "We are already a hundred miles away from the city, and when we get here, we don't have a map to guide us.

Lin Bei nodded in the sea, indicating that he understood.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a map, as long as you have a compass, this is the most important tool for maritime navigation. The sergeants will indicate the direction according to the direction indicated by the compass, and add a map of the sea area at any time.

The weather at sea is extremely hot, really, quite hot, the sun is all direct, and the sergeants on the ship go back to the cabin to rest for a few quarters of an hour, so as not to lose consciousness due to dehydration, as long as one or two people stay with Lin Bei, I have to say that with Lin Bei around, the sergeants were relieved a lot.

A column of water suddenly rushed out from far ahead. The column of water rose to a height of more than ten meters. Then, a huge light blue fish jumped out of the water. It was a blue whale, followed by several more The water column rushed up, not at one end, but in groups.

It’s not the first time Lin Bei has seen a blue whale. He saw it twice when he went into the sea a few days ago, and this is the third time, but every time he is still shocked by the huge size of the blue whale. Dao, these blue whales simply ignored Lin Bei, because they did not have any natural enemies in the sea.

As it gets farther and farther away from Wanghai City, various marine creatures appear in groups, and the blue whale is just one of them.

Chapter 203 Bicycles

Looking outside the city.

Mu Mu looked at the two bicycles he made with his own hands, but he could only grab his hair with his hands, as if he wanted to pull it out.

Mu Mu is also a craftsman. He was the best carpenter in Xishan Township in the past, and he was also one of the earliest hunters who knew Lin Bei. Later, Lin Bei became the Lord Dragon God, and Mu Mu naturally became Lin Bei's believer, extremely firm.

Originally, Lin Bei hibernated and Xishan Township was in trouble. Mu Mu wanted to join the township regiment more than once, but Cui Lan blocked them all, saying that Mu Mu is an only son and has good carpentry skills. Being a craftsman is more useful than being a sergeant. Then Mu Mu listened to Cui Lan's opinion.

Wood was naturally involved in the development of the steam carriage this time, and he spent several days with some skilled craftsmen in Hepu County. Wood really learned a lot, and his craftsmanship became more and more exquisite. Soon the bicycle was built. Among these craftsmen, wood was the second to make the bicycle.

Amid the sincere congratulations and envy of the craftsmen around him, Mu Mu knew that although the bicycle was built, the key point was whether it could be ridden or not. Otherwise, what is there to congratulate on a pile of immovable wood?

Fortunately, there were many spectators around, so there was no shortage of test rides. I picked one of the wood at random, held the back, and asked that person to step on it. As soon as the person stepped on it, something happened. It was used to support the back seat and the The stays between the wheels are broken.

The wood made the man come down quickly and checked the support boards. His first thought was that the wood was not good. He used fir just now. This kind of fir is softer, but it will not warp at will. It should be suitable for a bicycle, and now it seems that it must first be able to bear the weight of a person.

"This person weighs about 110 kilograms. The fir wood can't bear it, and the bicycle will be heavier when it runs. If it hits a mud pit, the impact force between the upper and lower sides cannot be ignored. How about rosewood? No way. Although it is hard, it is also heavy. Can't bear it, nanmu? It seems to be worse, basswood? It's not much different from the hardness of nanmu."

Mu Mu thought about several kinds of wood in a row, and finally felt that it was not good enough. He stared at the support planks and thought hard. At the last moment, Mu Mu clapped his hands and realized that the two support planks were not enough, so he added a few more support planks.Quantity wins.

Wood added a few support plates to the front and rear seats of the bicycle, and pressed them himself after they were done. He thought it should be ok, so he asked the man to get on the bike again and supported the bike by himself.

The man pushed hard on the pedals, and the bicycle started to move. Wooden Heart said it was done, but he didn't know how many times he had just pedaled.The pedals are broken again.

"Still not solid."

The craftsmen have finished the bicycles one after another, and let people come for a test ride.I found various problems, but the wheels are okay, because everyone uses the unified standard wheels, which are also the wheels of the previous carriage, but the parts are too easy to break, such as the braces.Pedals, gears that need to be rotated to drive the wheels forward, especially gears, this kind of wooden gears will break after almost two rounds of teeth, and the furthest bicycle can only move forward more than ten meters.

But although perishable.But the craftsmen have seen the advantages of bicycles, that is, it is not too laborious, and the speed is really fast. If the parts are always in good condition, the craftsmen estimate that they should be able to travel twenty or thirty miles an hour. It can travel three or four hundred miles a day, which is several times faster than walking on foot.

"Although the structure of this bicycle is simple, it is really useful." The craftsmen all agreed on the benefits of the bicycle, and now they are improving, how to make the bicycle not easy to break, and suitable for various terrains that the adults said.

The craftsmen began to communicate, thinking about what kind of wood to use, and finally the wood said: "How about using iron for these fragile parts? Iron is not easy to wear and tear, and it is much better than wood."

As a reminder of the wood, the carpenters went to the blacksmith and asked the blacksmith to build these, the braces, the pedals and the gears between the pedals.

The stays and pedals are okay, but something went wrong when building the gears.

Now the blacksmiths in Wanghai City know the method of pouring iron. They also melt the iron into molten iron, and then use sand to cast molds for what they need, and then pour the molten iron into it. In this way, the wooden gear was first printed on the sand to form a mold, but when the iron gear came out, a carpenter installed it and shouted: "No, this tooth is a little loose, and it cannot be installed." No, this gear is a bit small, and the tightness is not suitable..."

This made the blacksmiths headed by Blind Li wonder why the gears produced are different from the same mould?After carefully inspecting the mold, Blind Li found the subtle difference. Because the sand mold is made of sand, it is too easy to lose shape. Just touching it lightly can easily cause the mold produced to be deformed.

In this way, they can only replace the sand and start to use clay. This is a replacement. They don’t understand that this is actually an improvement. When a more refined mold is needed later, the clay can’t meet the requirements of the mold. Research new molds.

All the fragile parts were replaced with iron. In this way, the wear resistance of the bicycle was greatly enhanced, and it became unbreakable. This simplest but extremely practical means of transportation was finally manufactured by the artisans.

When a man with a flexible body rode a bicycle around the city, everyone in the city became a sensation. They all knew that the craftsmen had developed a thing called a bicycle. With the pedals, you can move forward rapidly.

As the bicycle ran across the city, the joyful craftsmen began to check the various parts of the bicycle, especially the pedals and gears, and finally found that the pedals were not a big problem, but the gears still had problems.

"The iron gears wear out so fast?" the artisans exclaimed.

According to the degree of wear and tear, the craftsmen estimated that this kind of bicycle could not run very far. In addition, they did not forget that the bicycle ran in Wanghai City. The road surface of the ring street in Wanghai City is quite good. In this way, what if it is outside?

"If you run outside, it will fall apart soon." Mu Mu said, and the craftsmen nodded one after another.

"Better iron is needed."

"Yes, better iron quality is necessary, otherwise it won't last long."

The blacksmiths headed by Blind Li were in a dilemma. The iron poured out was already wrought iron, which was quite hard.Although there are ten steel-making hundreds of steel-making and thousands of steel-making on it, it is essentially iron, and it is estimated that it cannot bear this kind of consumption.

In this way, it was the turn of the blacksmiths like Blind Li to have a headache. The carpenters made bicycles and heavier carriages in the future.The requirements for iron are getting higher and higher. If the technology of blacksmiths cannot keep up, it is naturally a problem for the blacksmiths.

In addition, the problem of the road surface has also spread to the masons. Without roads, bicycles and steam carriages cannot run. Therefore, in order to need a good road, a good road must be polished with good slate, and the masons are also very depressed.

obviously.This kind of result is what Lin Bei is happy to see. This is the related supporting facilities. For example, if there is an airplane now, then the airport must be qualified. The airport is the supporting facilities of the airplane. All industries are not independent. And move the whole body, when all industries have progressed.Technology will become more and more advanced.

......

Lin Bei saw a lot of sea fish.
