Every time she wanted to share new knowledge with everyone, Bai Wutong was extremely grateful to Yang Quanzi for giving her the “Book of Hundred

Industries”.

The craftsmanship of forging the road had been mentioned in the “Book of Hundred Industries”, but it was very basic.

However, the structure of the foundation mentioned in the book was similar to Bai Wutong’s principle of concrete roads made of reinforced concrete. The asphalt only needed to be asphalted before the cement was completely solidified.

Bai Wutong found a group of skilled craftsmen to write and draw on the blackboard. After the craftsmen understood, they found a road to test it out.

With coal as an energy source, the temperature increased rapidly, making it much easier to refine steel bars.

A large number of steel bars were transported over. The commoners who did not have any work surrounded them, curious about what Bai Wutong wanted to do.

Zhao Pengfei was strong and good at labour.

Ever since he was completely rejected by Zhao Lanzhi, his heart had turned to ashes. He had invested his entire soul in the construction of Carefree City.

When everyone opened their eyes, Zhao Pengfei was already at work. When everyone closed their eyes, Zhao Pengfei was still at work Even the cows were about to die of anger because of him.

Bai Wutong wanted to build the road, and Zhao Pengfei was the most enthusiastic.

Others needed tools to twist the steel bar, but he could do it with his bare hands.

Because there were many people on the 100-meter cement road, the foundation of the steel bars was built in a day.

The next day, Bai Wutong asked everyone to lay cement.

The cement used to build the road needed to be mixed with sand and rocks to make it a harder material.

Bai Wutong also asked Zhao Yuan to make a sand and rock mixer. Unfortunately, it was not an electric mixer, but one that was operated manually with hands.

Even if it was operated by hand, the effect was actually quite good. After a steady stream of sand and rocks was mixed in, the road was flattened with cement.

It was too difficult to flatten it bit by bit. There were special road machines in the modern world that could directly crush it. Not only could it flatten the road, but it could also heat the road to make it even sturdier.

They did not have that impressive and awesome technology. They could only rely on their manpower to smooth things over bit by bit.

After the cement had completely dried, the road formed a gray and flat surface. Just like the ground of the villa they had built, the ground was smooth and comfortable under their bare feet.

Bai Wutong walked up and gave it a try. She was very satisfied and said to the workers who were involved in building the road, ‘The road is very successful and sturdy. From tomorrow onwards, we will officially start building the first road in Ling Kingdom. As the chief technical construction worker, your names will be recorded in history.”

Everyone cheered excitedly that their names could actually be recorded in the annals of history from building the roads.

They had already mastered the technology of the cement road, but the technology of extracting asphalt was still immature. Bai Wutong had the intention to take a break and eat to her filling.

Apart from building the road that ran through the entire southern frontier to the Central Plain, they also had to mobilize manpower to build the road to the coal mine, the mountain road to the iron mine, the direct road to Baye City, and the road to the various workshops and the transportation road in Carefree

City.

With a road, transportation tools naturally had to follow.

There were still too few horses. The thousands of horses purchased from the Syrians and the original 5,000 horses raised by Gu Chilie added up to more than 10,000 horses, but they could not keep up with the rapid construction speed.

Bai Wutong immediately had the idea of creating bicycles and tricycles.

Although bicycles and tricycles could not carry much goods, it was very convenient for everyone to rush from the camp to the various workshops to work.

The modern Chuanfu Kingdom was also known as the Bicycle Kingdom because of its flat terrain.

Bicycles were also a landmark product of the early industrial era.

Having a bicycle was definitely a symbol of superiority.

Bai Wutong did some calculations. If one owned a bicycle, the journey to the southern frontier that was originally more than a month would only take half a month.

A bicycle had to be built for a thousand-mile journey.

Once there were bicycles, tricycles, and power plants, it should be easy to build a car. At that time, the production should be easier.

Bai Wutong remembered that in history class, the first car in China had been built under basic conditions, and it took three months to build it.

After three years of hard work, China had a complete car production line.

At that time, there was still no technology or equipment.

Now that Bai Wutong had a large number of information and blueprints in her space, it was definitely only a matter of time before she developed a car.

But she couldn’t do it too fast. She was afraid of being thought of as a demon.

Bai Wutong felt that giving Zhao Yuan special treatment and giving him some inspiration for designing a car would make him have the idea of bringing people to start building a car. With her help in the future, he could naturally build a car!

Bai Wutong walked around the carriage under the hot sun. Everyone immediately surrounded her and asked her what the problem was. Bai Wutong smiled and said, “I’m wondering if we can ride on those two wheels.’

As soon as she said this, many carpenters, blacksmiths, and craftsmen who had gained a lot of knowledge from Bai Wutong fell into deep thought.

Zhao Yuan and Zhao Sheng had been with Bai Wutong the longest. They had even helped Stinky make all kinds of small carts, movable wooden horses, sleighs flying on the ice, and all kinds of moving machinery.

When Bai Wutong suggested a two-wheeled car that could carry people, they immediately thought of the rapidly spinning handle of the meat grinder. In an instant, inspiration collided in his mind, and sparks flew. Zhao Yuan roared, “1 thought of something!’

Bai Wutong was stunned. So fast!

With Zhao Yuan having an idea, many blacksmiths and carpenters were unconvinced. They racked their brains and came up with a vehicle that could be ridden on two wheels.

They all said to Bai Wutong, “Consort, we thought of it too!’

Bai Wutong originally wanted to talk about the structure of the bicycle, but when she realized that everyone was more enthusiastic than the other, she did not stop them. She smiled and said, “How about this? If anyone can create the two-wheeled carriage that I’m most satisfied with in a month, they will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and a goo-square-meter villa.”

At any era, researchers deserved the best treatment. Bai Wutong suddenly had the idea of establishing an invention award.

100 taels of gold!!!

A goo-square-meter villa!!!

Oh my!

The rewards were too generous!

Everyone’s eyes widened. Even many commoners who were not craftsmen were tempted.

It was just two wheels moving, even they could do it!

If they obtained Bai Wutong’s reward, they would not have to work hard for several lifetimes.

Everyone was extremely excited. The news spread like wildfire. Many people took advantage of the fact that they were not working to secretly invent

something.

The men each took action. In a month, they quickly created many two-wheeled carts.

However, their two-wheeled carriage was really a little strange.

Some of the wheels were as wide as tanks. Some of them had a large basket installed directly on both wheels. Some of them were connected like toothpicks. There was no safety to speak of…

Among so many people present, only Zhao Yuan had come up with a bicycle that overlapped with Bai Wutong’s thoughts..
