Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

Chapter 312 Harvest (Part 2)

Compared with the natural rubber produced by the King of Rubber, the saponaria produced by the King of Saponin is a bit shabby. Even just looking at the output, compared with other natural wonders, the King of Saponin is not worthy of being a natural wonder.

However, Ning Yuan was very pleasantly surprised by the appearance of the king of saponins, because he had had enough of the days of wearing greasy twist clothes all day long.

Because you have to eat meat and train every day, you will inevitably get some oil stains, sweat stains and blood stains on your clothes.

In the ancient times when there was no washing powder and liquid detergent, it was not easy to wash these stains.

Ning Yuan once took the initiative to study the ancient ways of washing clothes, and then learned of several ancient natural detergent formulas.

These ancient recipes are rice water, saponins, bath beans and plant ash.

Washing rice water and plant ash need as much as possible, but their decontamination ability is really limited, and some stubborn stains are difficult to remove with them.

Bath beans are made from beans and were used by ancients for bathing and washing hands.

In the Shenying collar, soybeans are an important food resource. Because they have not yet formed a primitive accumulation, they can't eat them at ordinary times, let alone take them to bathe.

People take food as their heaven, and it is absolutely impossible for Ning Yuan to do this kind of food waste.

Saponaria saponaria powder is a very good natural detergent, but unfortunately there does not seem to be this kind of plant in the territory of the Condor collar, so Ning Yuan has been wearing clothes with various stains for several years.

Although the king of saponaria is not comparable to other natural wonders, it came at the right time.

With the soap powder and soap made from the seeds of the saponaria, it is believed that the sanitary condition of the Shenying collar will be greatly improved.

Although Ning Yuan's adaptability is very strong, he is a modern person after all, and he has some cleanliness, so this saponaria king is like a timely rain, and it is very time to come.

In addition to these natural wonders, Ning Yuan also discovered some very interesting things in Jun Moxie's mansion.

The first interesting thing is a few ancient bicycles.

The reason they are called ancient versions of bicycles is entirely because these bicycles are very bulky compared to modern bicycles.

Modern bicycles generally weigh 20 to 30 kilograms, which is very convenient to carry. But the bicycle in Jun Moxie's mansion weighed more than fifty catties and looked big and stupid.

Ning Yuan knocked on the car body with his hand and found that the entire frame was welded with solid iron pipes, no wonder it was so heavy.

The whole bicycle is welded with iron pipes of different thicknesses, even the bars are no exception.

I don't know if it is because the technology is not good enough. The chainring of this bicycle is very large, and the matching chain and link are also very huge.

Ning Yuan observed carefully for a while, and found that the wheels and car bars should have been cast directly, and they were cast together.

The wheel is very wide, with a layer of rubber directly on it. He squeezed it hard with his fingers, feeling that the elasticity is not very sufficient. It seems that there should be no inner tube inside.

After the observation, Ning Yuan simply tried riding in the courtyard.

Hmm..., except that it takes a bit of effort at the beginning, once the speed is up, it is still very light.

This bicycle has no front brake, only a rear brake. You need to step on it with your foot. Once you step down, it will stop immediately. The braking ability is still very good.

"Come here, let me take care of these bicycles properly, and when I go back, give them to the craftsmen in the research institute to see if they can make improvements."

Although it is a bit cumbersome, Ning Yuan still attaches great importance to this new thing. It happens that there are many half-length artisans in the newly established research institute. They have just improved the mobile mechanism of the siege tower. I believe that a bicycle should be difficult. Don't fall them.

Although the bicycle does not run as fast as the war horse, the war horse is a living thing, it is a dead thing, and the war horse needs to rest and eat, but it does not need it, so the two can be said to have their own strengths.

Although the bicycle cannot be used as a mount for the cavalry, it is good for some infantry to use it on the road.

When the era of planetary hegemony arrives, the mode of warfare will be completely changed.

When the time comes, marching and fighting will not be the way it is now, and it will be sent over in a "swish".

All soldiers have to rely on their feet to hurry, so the emergence of bicycles still has a certain strategic significance.

Although riding a bicycle is faster than walking, it is not without any shortcomings.

The first is that the cost is too high.

Now, the steel in everyone’s hands is not enough to build weapons and equipment. Where can the excess be distributed to bicycles, so if the bicycles cannot be reduced in weight, then mass production will not be possible.

Although Ning Yuan snatched a large iron ore, as the number of his troops continued to increase, the iron and steel resources in the territory were also a bit tight. Therefore, he hoped that the craftsmen of the research institute could improve it, and it would be better to solidify it. The iron pipe was replaced with a hollow steel pipe.

The second is that bicycles are more demanding on the environment.

On a flat road, riding a bicycle is much faster than walking. However, if it is in the wild and the ground is uneven, the bicycle will not pass. Therefore, there is a major prerequisite for mass-produced bicycles, that is, to build enough. path of.

Otherwise, there are only bicycles but no roads, and the production will not be of much use.

The second interesting thing is a few scratch papers.

Ning Yuan saw a pile of papyrus in Jun Moxie's room, which were painted with various bicycle parts. It seemed that these ancient versions of bicycles were designed in this way.

Although the surface of these straw papers is a bit rough and the color is a bit yellow, but the texture is very soft, and the toughness is also very good.

As we all know, one of the biggest functions of paper is to carry words and record some important things. Paper is indispensable for the development of mankind to the present.

Although Ning Yuan’s Shenying Neck had written words, the main thing he used to record the words was sheepskin scrolls.

Using parchment scrolls to record text is not only a waste of resources, but also difficult to save, and paper is different.

Paper is not only light, but also easier to store. As long as it is stored properly, a piece of paper can even be stored permanently.

Of course, this kind of paper is modern paper. It might not be so easy to develop this kind of paper in ancient times.

In addition to recording words, paper is also a necessity in people's daily life, especially toilet paper, which people need to use every day.

In ancient times, because there was no toilet paper, people used various sanitation solutions for convenience, including leaves, stems, and sticks....

Ning Yuan can bear eating and dressing a little bit, but he has a hygienic addiction, so he will take a bath every time it is convenient, whether it is winter or summer, regardless of whether it is wind or rain.

Although his physique in the game is better, but taking a cold bath in the winter will not be a pleasure.

So after he saw the paper, the first thing he thought of was toilet paper.

Ning Yuan believed that the paper must have been invented by Jun Moxie, but it was definitely not made by him alone, so there should be mature paper craftsmen here, so he immediately sent someone to search for it.

Soon, the paper craftsman was found.

After finding these craftsmen, Ning Yuan gave them the first task to develop toilet paper, and promised to provide them with certain technology support and comprehensive logistical support.

The so-called technology support is nothing more than to check the relevant data on the Internet after downloading the game, and then memorize it by rote, and then pass it to the paper craftsmen after entering the game.

As for when the paper craftsmen can develop real toilet paper, it is not Ning Yuan's control. Anyway, they have persisted for several years, and it will not be a big deal to wait for a while.
