As he spoke, the two soldiers beside Zhou Tong had already run over impatiently and pushed the bicycle over. The wheels of the bicycle are quite large, a full diameter of one meter and two three, and there is a whole circle of wooden spokes inside, the width of the wheels is more than an inch, and its outer edge is curved, and there are patterns on it, which seem to be carved out, and look very regular.

"Mr. Zhou, how should I ride this bike?" The chief of staff was confused, and the two soldiers were standing next to the car at the moment, looking up and down the bicycle curiously, and one of the soldiers was grasping the handle of the bicycle with both hands, and was twisting to watch the front wheel twist for fun.

"Well, the villain will show it to the general." Zhou Tong hurriedly stepped forward to take the bicycle, grabbed the handle with both hands, stepped on the pedal with his left foot, walked on the ground several times, then lifted his right foot, stepped up, rode on the stool of the car, and then stepped on the pedal quite easily, drove around in the eyes of the curious soldiers around him, and finally stopped beside the chief of staff.

This week, with his left foot on the bicycle pedal and the other foot on the road, he arched his hand to the chief of staff and said, "This is the newly produced bicycle of Dongfang Port." ”

This bicycle is a new tossed thing from Xiao Jing's wood processing factory, and it is completely different from the previous scooters that took the name of bicycles. These vehicles use large wheels to ensure that they can drive the bad roads of Annam, so that they do not often get stuck in the mud puddles of the road, and they do not use the old world method of driving the pedal gear disc chain, but the bevel gear disc that drives the propeller shaft and then drives the flywheel in a similar way to the Rolls-Royce produced in the Oriental Port. Compared with the old world bicycle, although this drive method is more complicated, it uses a metal gear disc and transmission shaft, which is much stronger, and the use of a similar drive pedal to Rolls-Royce, using up and down reciprocating motion instead of circular motion, although there will be a certain loss of efficacy in this case, but because it is a transmission shaft, it will not be too affected.

In fact, Dongfang Port would not kindly provide a batch of bicycles to the Southern Army for military use, but there is actually an ulterior secret for these bicycles to be provided to them. First of all, these bicycles are tiresless, and riding a bicycle without tires and only rims is simply a torture, because the car springs in Orient Harbor are not rich enough to provide bicycle installation, so the cushioning capacity of these bicycles is completely zero, and the rider can only be used for human cushioning. The saddle of these bicycles is not an old-world saddle seat, but a wide-sided seat, which allows people to sit on the seat with their buttocks and pedal the pedals, which can reduce the impact of the bumps of the car body to the driver's vital parts through the seat to a certain extent; In addition, the body of these bicycles is made of wood, and the structure is certainly not as strong as the metal body, so a bicycle can carry no more than eighty kilograms at most - among the patriarchs, such a load will break the body in minutes, but at the level of the natives weighing no more than forty or fifty kilograms, even with weapons, it will not crush the vehicle due to excessive weight.

In fact, the main reason is that the senate industrial system is preparing to really put into production serious 800 bicycles, but there is no confidence in whether the bicycle will be welcomed, and there are several prototypes produced and I don't know which one will be better, so I simply produced more than ten or twenty of these prototypes in one go, and threw them all to the southern army for them to use, and then the observers followed the army to move forward and collect the problems of bicycle use at the same time. It was also possible to send the intelligence of the Southern Army back to the Oriental Port along with it. In order to achieve this effect, they brought several spare bikes with a variety of spare parts piled on them, so that if the bikes were damaged, they could be repaired immediately.

Zhou Tong laughed secretly in his heart at the moment, he had already learned how to ride this kind of bicycle in Dongfang Port, although these cars were particularly powerful when riding on the road, but the real speed was still amazing, especially when going downhill, it was necessary to wear brakes to ensure that the speed would not be too fast to roll over or too bumpy and cause the body to fall apart. All the patriarchs he knew called this thing "testicular grinder", and the patriarchs in the Oriental Port themselves were reluctant to use such a thing, let alone promote it, and the only use of the production was to use it for verification, as a technical reserve, and when the rubber could be produced and self-made tires could be made, they began to equip the various departments under the Senate and promote it to the whole people.

This person who called himself Zhou Tong was none other than Zhou Rui, a field intelligence officer of the Army Intelligence Bureau, who was awarded the Senate Medal of Merit Service by the Senate since he last brought back the information that the Maideno Marine Corps took over Jiezhen, and the South Shore Army stationed in Jiezhen was ordered to come to attack the port of Zhancheng. According to Army Intelligence regulations, he could serve as an in-house officer in Army Intelligence at Centrivost-Harbour for a year before choosing whether or not to go on a mission. However, he had tasted the sweetness of his last trip to Jiezhen, and felt that it would be nice to be a field agent outside, so he volunteered to go out on a mission.
