Chapter 181: Real Muscle Suspension
Ryanhard's eyes widened and turned into a problem baby: "Why can the two wheels maintain balance? Why can't they fall?"
“Can you adjust the direction by turning the front wheel? Why doesn’t it fall?”
“Why doesn’t it fall?”
The fact that two wheels can maintain balance simply subverts his perception.
It was too troublesome to explain this, Luo Chu ignored him.
After looking at it for a while, Leonhart asked again: "The wheels are hard, why is the frame so stable?"
When Luo Ying mentioned this, he was a little proud: "Please look at the muscle suspension system I invented."
The bicycle has a simple structure and a wide range of adaptability. Off-road bicycles can be ridden even if there is no road, let alone extreme sports bicycles.
But Luo Heng has not recovered, just stuck in the shock absorption point. Without pneumatic tires, the bicycle's skeletons are distracted.
Pneumatic tires need to find rubber trees, and a series of chemical treatments are required. Luo Xu does not have this technology, so he doesn't even know what plasticization means.
Until the emergence of flesh and blood structure, the muscle suspension system became possible. The inner ring of the tire was dozens of high-strength muscle fibers, cultivated by Margaret, and then toughened, stretched and very high in strength. It was suspended between the wheel and the axle, and its shock resistance was higher than that of pneumatic tires.
"Let me try, let me try." Luo Ying rode around and was rushed down by Ryanhardt.
However, it is not easy for a person who has seen a bicycle for the first time. Leonhart kept falling as soon as he rode, which made him have to use magic to support himself.
With the support of magic, he rode for more than ten times and finally mastered the skills of balance: "You must keep the two wheels in a straight line, and apply reaction force in the other direction when turning so that you can maintain balance."
"Your Majesty, this kind of bicycle is so magical, it's simply a genius invention." Leanhart said excitedly: "With an ordinary bicycle such as this, the maneuverability of an ordinary person can reach the speed of a horse."
Luo Heng smiled and shook his head: "No, it's much faster than a horse. Ordinary war horses need to rest after running more than ten kilometers. The bicycle can ride for seven or eight hours at will, but the impact is a little inferior."
War horses are not only vehicles, but also combat power. Cavalry rushing forward often has decisive power on the battlefield.
Bicycles are just simple vehicles, but after the appearance of bicycles, the war horses quickly withdrew from the stage of war with hot weapons. Since then, the dragoons have become arms that ride bicycles and carry rifles.
After understanding the principle of the bicycle, Ryanhardt muttered: "A skeleton with a skeleton is only less than forty kilograms, and the load does not need to be too large. One hundred kilograms are just right. It really doesn't require steel. Do you use wood?"
It seems that only wood can be economical and large, but Luo Heng doesn't want to use it because it is difficult to process. His people are all skeletons and are not carpenters, so they can't process wooden frames at all.
He hopes to find a material that is less difficult to process.
"Materials with less difficulty in processing?" Ryanhart frowned.
This involved knowledge about industrial design, and Luo Ying summoned Carter over again.
"It's so fun, haha, I like this kind of car." Carter's balance ability is better than that of Ryanhart. He learned it after riding two laps, but Ryanhart felt that it was because he was holding it behind.
"To reduce the difficulty of processing, you can use molds, frame molds, wheel molds. By the way, your Majesty, Lockes has invented a new plant activation liquid that can accelerate the growth of plants. Why not use rattan to make frames and wheels?" Carter suggested.
Can a soft rattan be used as a wheel frame?
Of course, Carter didn't say it casually. She found a mold that was bent into a simple steel, found a very common vine, stuck it on the mold, and broke it, and the fractures at both ends were buckled together, so that Rocket took the plant activation liquid and poured it into the mold, soaking the vines.
The vines soaked in the activation liquid actually grew rapidly. After twenty minutes, they filled the entire mold, and the broken holes actually grew together, and the broken holes could no longer be seen.
It was not over yet. The fresh vine wheel was taken out and covered with soil. After twenty minutes, it dried like a ten-year-old vine. After pressing hard, the vine wheel was deformed, but when I let go, it bounced back to its original state.
Hang up the muscles and hang spokes, so that even if you press hard, it will not deform, but will be full of elasticity.
Then apply defensive paint to the outer ring to increase its wear resistance, and a magically modified rattan wheel is completed.
The same operation is done on the frame. You can only use steel sheets to reinforce the frame where it is prone to breaking, and then make an iron front fork.
Assembling various parts, an unprecedented rattan bicycle has been released.
Luo Heng was confused all the way, and he couldn't believe that the rattan could really make frames and wheels until the last moment. However, when he saw the rattan thick with his wrist, he immediately realized that this material was really more suitable than wood, light and hard, and his only disadvantage was that it was difficult to process.
However, with the combination of plant activation liquid and soil, its disadvantage is no longer a disadvantage.
Although the load-bearing is not as big as an iron bicycle, it is no problem to carry a skeleton. Moreover, according to Carter's processing method, the frame, wheel and handlebar can be completed with skeletons. However, when assembling, a higher wise worker is required.
As for vines, it is even more common, and it is everywhere in the mountains and fields. This plant has strong vitality and can grow after planting. The greater the water volume, the faster it grows. It is indeed a material that can be planted on a large scale.
Well, the rattan bicycles were set up and distributed to produce.
After completing the finalization work, the iron-made man from Luo Chu was also snatched away, and Luo Chu had nothing to play with.
Just so happened, Mobak floated over and said, "Your Majesty, Hopley asks for a visit."
Hoples was released and returned to the principality, he became a hero of mankind. It was him who dissuaded the King of Steel Bone to stop moving forward, and it was him who sought all mankind.
If Hoples had not communicated with the King of Steel Bone, the Steel Bone Collar would have the ability to push the entire human world evenly.
Hoples boasted like this, and Luo Chu did not deny it, so he was become a hero in the human world. However, at this moment, this hero with a high prestige in the human world was kneeling humbly in front of Luo Chu and said nervously: "Your Majesty, I have brought all the undead creatures that can be found within the Principality, but...it's just...most of them are disabled."
