Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner

"Miss Clark, where did you get this thing?" Tangning asked curiously.

"It is said that it came from New York, but there are a lot of them in New Orleans now, but I guess everyone is too embarrassed to show you this thing. I was too angry today, so I couldn't help but come over and tell you. !" Heidi explained.

Although he didn't take this matter seriously in his heart, he said with righteous indignation on the surface: "Miss Clark, you're right, these guys are going too far, I should have checked them out when I knew I was in New York. Who the **** is this guy!"

Heidi echoed, "Mr. Tangning, I actually mean the same thing, thinking that you have a company and friends in New York, you can ask them to find out who these nasty guys are, and they mustn't let them spoil your work. classic!"

Tangning nodded in agreement, "Okay, okay, I'll send a telegram to my friends in New York and ask them to check!"

After seeing Heidi away, Tangning started changing her clothes. Nicole asked curiously, "Are you going out?"

Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm going to send a telegram to Rockefeller!"

"No way, do you really want him to look up these things for you?" Nicole asked in surprise.

Tangning chuckled lightly and replied, "Who said he needs to check it out, I mean let him find the whole booklet. I think it's very interesting, so I want to see the full version!"

Hearing this answer, Nicole was speechless, rolled her eyes and turned her head.

After the telegraph office finished sending the telegram, Tangning was about to get into the carriage when she suddenly saw a man riding a vehicle not far away that he was very familiar with, but it was the first time he had seen it.

Seeing Tangning's expression, butler Rob introduced, "Master, this is a form of transportation called a bicycle that was passed down from England. It is said that it can ride a maximum of 20 kilometers a day. Although it is not very practical, it is true Quite fun!"

Tangning thought to herself, I don't even know bicycles. You must know that I am an honorable member of the Little Yellow Bike. Now, there is a deposit of 200 yuan in my membership card...

However, having said that, it was indeed the first time Tangning had seen the bicycle in front of her, because the gap between him and the bicycle she was familiar with was too great.

First of all, the bicycle in front of him has no chain (so the chain will not drop), his transmission method is to connect the front and rear wheels with a lever, and then a person sits on the seat and pushes the pedals of the front wheel forward and backward with his feet, so that the lever will Turn the rear wheel and the bike will move forward.

Secondly, he has no tires (so he won't puncture the tires). The wheels are the kind of wooden wheels that are very hard at first sight. It is conceivable that it will be very uncomfortable to ride. It is estimated that there will be a feeling of the first generation of Mobike... ...

The third is that the front and rear wheels are not the same size, the front wheel is obviously much smaller than the rear wheel, so it must feel strange to ride.

Speaking of which, the bicycle has always been one of the greatest inventions of human beings in Tangning's mind, because it met three incredible conditions: 1. You are sitting; 2. You are moving forward; 3. You are simply using your own power, There is no water, electricity, coal or any other source of energy. The most important thing is that it is actually faster and less laborious than your running. Do you think it is magical or not? !

While thinking about things, Tangning's mind suddenly flashed, yes, although I couldn't invent a car, I could definitely invent something with a simple structure like a bicycle, and if I remember correctly, Maxi and I Said that the British R.W. Thomson had registered a patent for rubber pneumatic tires, and I don't know how this ignorant guy would know such a thing...

The bicycle can not only make a lot of money for yourself, but also improve the combat effectiveness of the Confederate Army. You must know that the bicycle has played a huge role in major battles since the technology has matured, such as the Boer War, the United States and the West. The army was equipped with a large number of bicycles in the war. Even during the Battle of Berlin in 1945, the German bicycle anti-tank unit destroyed a large number of Soviet tanks. Then during the Japanese army in the Malay campaign, the Japanese bicycle unit annihilated the British army. And 140,000 servants! (It is recommended that friends who are interested in cycling units have a look at "War Day")

Of course, it is estimated that the Northern Army will use it when it sees it, but this is not something that I can control. After all, it is easier to copy this thing, but in any case, it can be regarded as a contribution to the Southern Army.

So Tangning instructed the housekeeper, "This thing looks very interesting, find a way to buy one for me!"

Originally, Tangning thought this should be a very simple matter, but she didn't expect the housekeeper to go outside for two days without buying it. It was reasonable to ask the reason, because this thing is now a small-sized large toy. www.uukanshu.com It was not until 1886 that British mechanical engineer Staley not only invented the brake, but also improved the lathe for producing bicycles, which made the bicycles mass-produced and completely popularized, so although it was already as early as 1790. With the world's first bicycle, it was Staley who was called the "Father of Bicycles".

Therefore, it is difficult to buy this thing now, especially in the South of the United States, it is easier to change to London. Since she couldn't buy one, Tangning decided to borrow one. After some inquiries, she found out that Heidi's house was the only one she knew.

So Tangning had to visit the door. Heidi was a little surprised by Tangning's arrival, because she had taken the initiative to find Tangning before. She thought it was the news of the H version of "Gone with the Wind", but she didn't expect Tangning to borrow a bicycle. Yes, even though it was a bit unexpected, he agreed without hesitation. After learning that Tangning was used for research, he even more generously stated that it would be fine if he took it apart for research...

After returning home, Tangning did some research and found that although she knew how to change a bicycle, and the difficulty was indeed much lower than that of a car, it was still not something that a handmade novice like herself could solve. Should be about the same.

In desperation, Tangning had to arrange for a housekeeper to find a craftsman to help her solve the problem. She didn't expect that she would find a true craftsman. Of course, he was still very young, and he had not yet reached his fame. !
