I opened a mall in ancient times

Rubber products are widely used and are indispensable materials for the development of modern society.

Things like plastic and rubber are never brought out by Luo Tide. It’s hard to explain. On the one hand, I’m also afraid of disrupting the current world’s progress. I’m even more afraid of the environmental pollution caused by plastic. If I can replace it with glass and ceramics, I use glass and ceramics. Instead, if it is easy to break, it is easy to break, it is better than polluting the environment.

Modern industrial rubber with various additives is toxic and harmful to the environment, but now natural rubber does not have such problems, but there are not so many industrial additives, and the effect is definitely not as good as modern ones.

Untreated natural rubber is limited, but better than nothing.

Among other things, the two characteristics of water resistance and shock resistance alone can do a lot of things, and can greatly improve the living standards of people today.

Hearing the news, Luo Chaochao naturally hurried to check.

The officials of the Shipbuilding Department also followed, wondering why Luo Chaochao cared so much about this kind of tree.

Luo Chaochao is still thinking, if they can really get rubber, then they should make some simple tires.

The current carriages are all made of wood and iron. Although there is a simple anti-vibration system, the current ground is uneven, and even with a simple anti-vibration system, it will still be bumpy and uncomfortable.

Fortunately, in the city, the ground in the city is either paved with stone slabs, or it has become smooth after many people trampled and walked. The carriage is not so painful to walk, and the shaking is not too severe.

If he leaves the city and the official road, then this journey will definitely be difficult to explain, and the bones will be smashed to pieces.

For example, before Master Yin went from the capital to Kangzhou City, and then returned from Kangzhou City, even if he had practiced martial arts, he almost lost his life.

And if there are shockproof rubber tires, this situation will be improved a lot, and it can also protect the carriage.

The Siamese businessman heard that Luo Chao Chao was coming, so he had been waiting here for a long time, and saw the carriage stop from a distance, and a young man in a warm blue robe got off from the carriage.

It was clearly still winter, but this young man was still wearing spring and autumn clothes, and he didn't fit in well with the bloated businessmen around him.

Luo Chaochao said hello to the officials of the Shipbuilding Department. They are all in charge of maritime trade and have a good relationship. Occasionally, they can even go to a restaurant to have a meal together when they are free.

They also told Luo Chao Chao this news.

"Are you Mr. Baitan? I'm Luo Chaochao. I heard that you brought a magical tree." Luo Chaochao asked proactively.

"Yes." The short, fat, dark-skinned Siamese businessman quickly replied.

The name Luo Chaochao is really loud in the ears of foreign businessmen like them, he is a big treasure shining with golden light, and they can't wait to offer incense to him every day at home.

Who doesn't know that everyone can make money now because of Luo Chaochao, his Jiushui shopping mall can almost accommodate all the most exotic commodities in the world, and can also take away the goods they bring.

In this way, instead of selling along the street bit by bit, they can directly open a store in Jiushui shopping mall, and go back to buy while selling.喁 rare group.

This is much more efficient than before.

They wished they could have a good relationship with Luo Chao Chao, gain the glory of Luo Chao Chao, and make a fortune together in the future.

"You come with me."

Bayitan took Luo Chaochao and several officials from the Shipbuilding Department to their ship.

The root of this rubber tree was wrapped in a large lump of soil, and it was pitifully placed in a dark corner. The leaves were completely lifeless, and the sapling would die here soon.

"We can't help it. Once the tree is removed from the soil, it will become like this. It will wither faster than other plants."

Luo Chao Chao didn't care about this.

As long as he is alive, he can bring this rubber tree back to life.

"Sell this to me." Luo Chaoxi said, "But this is almost withered, and it won't sell for much."

"This doesn't require money." Bayitan did not ask for money: "I hope I can get a place to buy porcelain."

Porcelain from Sheng Kingdom is very popular abroad and can be sold at sky-high prices, so they hope to exchange for porcelain rather than silver and gold.

Of course they can buy ordinary porcelain that is everywhere, but the problem is that they want the most exquisite porcelain, which they can sell directly to the royal family and get a lot of gold.

Even if it's just a plate.

Luo Chaoxi glanced at him and nodded, "Yes, but only one set."

Bayitan was naturally overjoyed, it was much more than he thought.

This was already a pleasant surprise, and he readily asked Lifu on the boat to help move the things down.

"I hope you can bring some other things with you next time, and you can also try to bring some other plants. If you can use them, I won't treat you badly." Seeing the rubber tree being carried onto the carriage, Luo Chaochao said, Just told Bayitan.

Everyone knows this matter. Luo Chaochao likes to search for plants that are not available in Sheng Kingdom all over the world. There are indeed some businessmen who have obtained something that satisfies Luo Chaochao and received a lot of money. Otherwise, Bayitan would not have given Move this rubber tree over.

Although I understand that this thing is not easy to feed, but what if?

Luo Chaochao took another look at the other items that Bayitan brought and found that they were no different from those sold before, so he left without interest.

The officials of the Shibo Department have been afraid to talk to Luo Chaoxi all the time. Seeing that Luo Chaochao is leaving now, they asked curiously, "Is there anything special about this rubber tree?"

"Of course there is, and the effect is not small." Luo Chaoxi smiled at him, "It's just that it's more troublesome to deal with, so I can only say I have an idea."

When Luo Chaochao said it was very useful, it was really useful. Several officials of the Shibo Department nodded thoughtfully, taking this matter to heart.

Suzhou is actually not suitable for the growth of rubber trees. The Naiheluo tide itself is a bug, even if it is not suitable for him, it can make this place suitable.

He specially found a piece of land to plant it, and then sprinkled the unique growth nutrient of the monster race in the cultivation world on the nearby land.

The nutrient used by the monster clan is somewhat disadvantageous when used on ordinary trees. The wilting tree has not long recovered to be full of vigor, and the leaves are all unfolded. It is green and shiny, and it looks quite gratifying.

Luo Chao Chao couldn't do this research by himself, so he threw the paper plate to the researchers under him.

These researchers received the scientific research funding and requirements from Luo Chaochao, and started to study it.

Fortunately, they didn't create it out of thin air, but they had the experience of their ancestors, and they were even able to find a suitable ratio on the Internet. It didn't take long for them to actually research something.

They specially called the cooperating carpenter, made a carriage suitable for installing rubber wheels, and installed springs for rubber shock absorption inside, and then asked people to go up and try it out.

Rubber's shock-absorbing capabilities are unparalleled.

Even if it is only natural rubber that has been simply processed, the effect is still very significant.

Running on the barely flat ground in the city, there is almost no stumbling vibration. Even if you run on the dirt road outside the city, you can obviously feel that the vibration is much smaller than before, and it is not as uncomfortable as before.

It was the officials Luo Chaochao was familiar with who personally experienced it.

They had a good relationship with Luo Chaochao. Hearing that Luo Chaochao had researched a new carriage, they followed him curiously to have a look. In the end, they saw an ordinary carriage that looked luxurious at best.

It's not right, there is a circle of white on the wheel, I don't know what kind of material it is.

What's so special about this?

Then they sat on Luo Chao Chao's invitation.

The carriage took a group of people around Suzhou City, then went out and around Suzhou City, and even went to the mountains on purpose.

There are not only dirt roads on the mountain, but also dirt and rocks. In the past, they hated walking this kind of road. If they could make a detour, they would not take the mountain road. When Luo Chaochao said that he wanted to go around the mountain, he resisted very much.

But Luo Chao said that the effect can only be seen by walking the mountain road.

They have no choice but to go once, and they are ready to vomit out all their internal organs due to the bumps.

However, the effect of their mountain walk was unexpected.

It's really not as shocking as before!

It won't shake so that the whole person feels dizzy and wants to vomit.

When several people returned to Luo Mansion and got off the carriage, they all showed their reluctance to part with the carriage.

In the past, people didn't want to go far away. Apart from the trouble of going out, there were also situations where riding a horse or a carriage was too tiring.

This problem can be largely avoided now.

"Which company made the cushion we sat on when we went up, and why is it so soft?" Some people asked this.

Luo Chao Chao showed a mysterious smile.

"Do you remember the rubber tree I bought earlier?"

Several people nodded.

At the beginning, Luo Chaochao deliberately bought back the rubber tree, which caused a small discussion in the Shibo Department.

Everyone knows that what Luo Chaochao likes is not a simple thing. I have been wondering what Luo Chaochao wants this thing for, but after so long, Luo Chaochao has not come up with anything new, and everyone has gradually forgotten about it. After these two months, Luo Chaochao mentioned this issue again, and everyone immediately thought of the reason.

"Is that what the tree did?"

"Yes, but the production volume is really too small, so we can only make a little bit of it. There is a layer of rubber on the outside of the wheels for shock absorption and anti-skid, as well as the inner cushions, the anti-vibration system of the carriage, and the outermost glue. water proof."

That rubber tree doesn't produce much glue, but it can't stand the nutrient water from the cultivation world. Not only does it grow fast, but it also produces a lot of glue, which is barely enough to arm this carriage to the teeth.

However, Suzhou City is not very suitable for the growth of rubber trees. It can only grow here because of the bug of Luo Chaochao. Otherwise, it would have died a long time ago. How could Luo Chaochao and the others take the rubber for research?

"Is that tree you bought that useful?"

"It is indeed useful, but Suzhou City is not suitable for the growth of this kind of tree." Seeing that these officials were so excited, Luo Chaoxi gave them a vaccination in advance, "It's just that this tree has better luck. , A group of trees need to be planted systematically, Siam's climate is similar to the southernmost climate of Sheng Kingdom, if planted at the southernmost tip, it may be successful, but the best way is to let Siam replace the planting."

In fact, the quality of rubber trees in the Southern Continent is the best, but unfortunately there is no way to go there.
