Transportation.    

    

Property.    

    

This was a natural attribute structure.    

    

In Xiao Yun's previous world, for a long time, the distribution of wealth revolved around the land of production and transportation.    

    

For example, the rapid development of some coastal cities and huge amounts of wealth. It was often because they were located in places where transportation was convenient. They could obtain raw materials at a lower price. After the product was produced, it would be more cost-effective and bring about a better economy. This would make most of the people relatively wealthy.    

    

What was relative wealth? It was the same job, enjoying the same amount of spending, but it was much more profitable than the people in other regions!    

    

Transportation was the main theme.    

    

And it would last for a long period of time.    

    

The people in the Yangtze River were relatively rich, not only because of the abundant natural resources in the Yangtze River, but more importantly, the water transportation was much cheaper than land transportation.    

    

Actually, in this world, many people understood this principle.    

    

But what could they do if they understood?    

    

They were powerless to solve it!    

    

If the cows and horses were placed there, it would never be enough.    

    

But now, Xiao Yun's bicycle had changed the transportation pattern all of a sudden.    

    

As long as there was a road, it could be transported.    

    

Humans are cheaper than horses!    

    

Although he didn't want to admit it, that was the truth.    

    

A cow's life was worth more than a human's life. This was an iron law in this world.    

    

As for Xiao Yun wanting to make a bicycle, he had such an idea and put it into practice because of the discovery of the rubber tree.    

    

This kind of towering tree was not popular in the North Wei, because where they grew, the crops in the other forests would grow very badly.    

    

This tree looked very tall, but the wood was not very good.    

    

If it was made into furniture, it would change shape.    

    

Even if one sat on the floor and made a mat, because of the wood, "slag" would occur.    

    

It was very annoying.    

    

It was even more impossible to build a house with it.    

    

It would collapse on its own!    

    

But to Xiao Yun, this was the best and best treasure!    

    

Using rubber was actually not that difficult.    

    

What kind of sulfur method, in the Qin Country's Xiao family's workshop, perhaps there was still a chance to implement it. After all, with the equipment to brew wine, there was still a chance.    

    

However, it was absolutely impossible in this place.    

    

Therefore, the rubber's elasticity, durability, plasticity, and other requirements would be at a very low level.    

    

However, it was also enough!    

    

The most primitive rubber products were not that complicated and did not require that many chemical materials.    

    

All he needed to do was cut a hole in the tree and let the rubber juice flow out.    

    

It was stored in a fixed container.    

    

Xiao Yun chose a groove that he cut himself. It was long and narrow, just enough to be used as a tire.    

    

When he poured some rubber into it, he poured a part of it first, and then added animal fur inside.    

    

He placed it along the groove.    

    

After it was integrated into the rubber, he poured and put it again.    

    

Layer by layer, the fur and rubber juice completely merged together.    

    

Then, he would wait for it to be half-dried.    

    

Then, he would place it under the sun to be exposed to the sun and make the moisture disappear.    

    

Before the water completely disappeared, he would suppress it.    

    

He would make it more compact and more compact.    

    

However, it was still limited by the craftsmanship. The rubber produced by this method... would drop slag!    

    

But so what?    

    

It was much better than wood, and also much better than leather!    

    

Although there was no hollow space in the middle, rushing into the air and creating an internal pressure, it would not be as useful as the normal tires in his previous life.    

    

However, it was enough.    

    

It was enough!    

    

The people here could endure that kind of bumpy ride, that kind of strain, and also not be that slippery.    

    

As long as there was a certain degree of elasticity, alleviate the vibrations, have a certain degree of wear resistance. To prevent the bumpy from being too strong and causing the entire car to fall apart. With the addition of fur in the middle to increase its tenacity, it would not break so easily. To be able to use it for a period of time, being able to do all of this was already enough.    

    

It was completely enough!    

    

The problem of the wheel had been solved, but the problem of the wheel had really put Xiao Yun in a difficult position.    

    

With the current technology, although he had a way to create metal radiations, the duplication ability was too bad! It took him a very long time to create one by himself, but it was impossible for others.    

    

Along with the price, perhaps no one could afford it. He could only use it himself.    

    

Besides adding a toy to himself, what was the point of making it like this?    

    

Thus, he still chose wood.    

    

It was just like the wheels of a carriage, but it was slightly thinner, and the wheels were thinner, reducing the weight by 70%.    

    

But even so, the wheel still looked especially heavy.    

    

Next was the carriage frame.    

    

This frame was really troublesome.    

    

If they used iron... iron was too expensive! Xiao Yun was able to forge a very heavy one. He even used a copper welding method in the middle to make it especially sturdy.    

    

But this would also become very meaningless.    

    

If they used iron and copper welding, the cost of this thing would be higher than a horse carriage. Overall, it would not be as cheap as a horse carriage.    

    

What was the point?    

    

Therefore, Xiao Yun still chose to use wood. A slightly better wood, coupled with a fixed metal port, ensured its firmness and stability.    

    

And the most difficult part was the chain.    

    

This point almost made Xiao Yun worried to death.    

    

If he used the pedals to directly connect to the wheel, it could be solved.    

    

But in this way, the seats and wheels were too close. If they were placed on the front wheel, it would be the same as a child's tricycle. It did not have much meaning. If it was placed on the back wheel, then... if he sat on it and took a step, he would probably flip the car.    

    

Moreover, because the center of gravity was very likely to be at the support point, it was impossible to move the goods at all, much less maintain the balance of inertia.    

    

The best method was still to place the goods in the middle, with the wheels on both sides of the front and back.    

    

In this way, it would become a force in the middle, and the force behind the force would rotate.    

    

This needed to be transmitted!    

    

Even in the future, the most difficult technique on a bicycle was the chain.    

    

It was even more so here.    

    

Something like the chain, how to make it? The components of the same size were connected by small iron rods made from high-quality steel, and they could even move smoothly. Each of these components was extremely complicated.    

    

If Xiao Yun could do this, he would have gotten the machine gun and cannon out long ago!    

    

The craftsmanship required was indeed a little higher than ordinary firearms.    

    

However, this matter was still solved in the North Wei.    

    

Rubber could not be turned into a belt without processing.    

    

But... "Leather" was used to make leather in the most primitive of times.    

    

There was a kind of pig in the North Wei.    

    

Black Skinned Earth Pig.    

    

It was especially big.    

    

Not only was the meat delicious, but the pig's skin was especially thick.    

    

It was twice as thick as the wild pig's skin.    

    

And this kind of skin was especially tough.    

    

This was also the main material for leather armor in the elite troops of the North Wei.    

    

The leather armor of the North Wei was light and tough, and it was even better than iron armor in some places.    

    

This was also one of the reasons why the North Wei was so strong.    

    

However, Xiao Yun had some doubts about this black skinned pig.    

    

Logically speaking, the natural environment of this world should not give birth to such a powerful pig.    

    

Because if they were placed in the natural environment, they would have no natural enemies.    

    

Those jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards and the like, their sharp claws and teeth were unable to break through its fur, and when faced with pigs that were bigger than themselves... It was afraid that before it could bite through its skin, it would be smashed to death.    

    

And this kind of black skinned pig was currently being raised by the people here.    

    

It was extremely strange, to the extent where it was a bit abrupt.    

    

But now was not the time to be fussing over this.    

    

With the resources, he would use them first.    

    

He had the things to transmit them.    

    

As for the transmission shaft, he just needed to use the copper piece.    

    

Casting copper was not a difficult process in the North Wei.    

    

As long as one added one or two types of other metals into the copper and made it into an alloy, the hardness and durability would be guaranteed. After all, it was a belt transmission and not a chain, so it was not necessary to use steel.    

    

Of course, even if there were slots on the belt and the transmission shaft, like gears, there would still be problems such as teeth stripping, sliding, dislocation, and so on.    

    

But... there was no need to fuss about it!    

    

Enough!    

    

Xiao Yun really couldn't do it step by step, and make this kind of thing so perfectly.    

    

If it could be used, it was better than walking.    

    

Therefore, the bicycle in front of him was a mediocre product that Xiao Yun had created after considering the possibility of duplicating, production difficulty, promotion, cost and other factors.
