The development of bicycles is much smoother than expected.

What troubled Tangen the most before was the production technology of tires and bearings. However, one of these two technical problems was solved long ago, and the other was immediately successfully overcome by a technical team led by Nokia.

The processing technology of bearings has long been used in dwarf engineering. Ball bearings have been widely used in semi-finished steam combat tanks they have restored before. The production technology has been available, but the processing technology is not high.

The problem of processing technology was successfully solved with the addition of Tang En. The original millimeter-level processing technology was instantly improved to the micron level, with nearly a thousand times the precision improvement, which increased the life and efficiency of the bearings many times.

The production process of tires was successfully solved by the clever dwarfs. These little guys who love to study are always very positive about new technologies and new things. On earth, they are probably at least big bulls who are called academicians.

Of course, the appearance of tires was not just for bicycles. The first thing they enjoyed was Ellington's carriage. After they saw the stability and speed of the carriages in the lord's mansion after they were modified with tires, the next day, the door of the Datang Engineering Research Institute was filled with figures asking for modification of carriages.

The modified carriage did not disappoint them. Whether it was shock absorbing springs, rubber cushioning pads, new bearings and tires, after these things were installed, the carriage was like a makeover, completely different.

The originally stiff tremor became soft and gentle, and even the potholes were comfortable many times. What made them most excited was running on the asphalt road, with speeds increased by at least 50% compared to before! Due to the improvement of bearing technology, friction and resistance have become smaller, and horse consumption has also become smaller, so the transportation speed and distance per unit time have been greatly improved, and the forage consumed by horses has also been reduced a lot!

It means that the cost of modifying a carriage can be recovered after just a few transportations. The rest is to enjoy various benefits brought by new technology.

Under this stimulation, Ellington scrambled into a trend of chasing new technologies.

In just a few days, bicycles began to appear on the streets and alleys of Ellington.

The first batch of bicycles were not sold, but were directly digested internally, and were rationed to those who needed to run back and forth to convey messages and transport light objects - of course, it was not easy to teach them to ride a bicycle.

It’s okay for adults to say that they have a strong sense of autonomy. With a little training, they can quickly master the tricks, but for children...

"Woo woo-Brother, don't let go-away-"

Iriya held the handlebar tightly, begging Tang En not to let go with a sad face.

"Believe me, I've been holding you behind you, just ride."

Tang En kept encouraging Yiliya, of course, using the one commonly used by parents on Earth to teach bicycles...

"I, I get it...I'll try..."

Fiona, who was riding a bicycle not far away, saw this scene and her face was full of complexity.

If I had known this, I would have been better off pretending to be stupid...

After the first bicycle was offline, Don Eun tried it, and then Fiona wanted to try it. Don Eun joked about her that she couldn't do it. As a result, Fiona was furious and learned to ride a bike in minutes. She proudly showed off to Elsa and Tina.

Now that he saw Tang En teach Iriya to ride a bicycle, Fiona realized that she was simply a complete idiot.

Win face, lose life...

The emergence of bicycles greatly ignited the enthusiasm of Ellington residents. This was the first time they had seen such a purely mechanical means of transportation - what? Carriage? Sorry, carriage also needs to be pulled by horse...

Just two wheels, chains, and foot pedals can move forward at a very fast speed after clever combination, and you can also master the direction by yourself. Short-distance travel is simply not too convenient!

Especially when the tires are moving forward on the asphalt road, the feeling of being stable and comfortable and letting you control is really great!

Therefore, after the second batch of bicycles were taken off the line, a rush to buy immediately started in Ellington.

A bicycle costs only ten gold coins.

What? Too expensive!?

Then you must be a lazy person!

Even during the Hogg era, ten gold coins were just three months of savings, not to mention that in the more than three months since Lord Tang En took office, the drastic reforms have greatly increased everyone's income. Now, you can earn a few gold coins every month. If you work harder, it will be no problem for the Lord to work overtime to plant some cash crops or work part-time jobs, and the monthly income exceeds ten gold coins!

Isn't it worth it to spend a month's income to buy something developed by the Lord, which even the nobles of the imperial capital, developed.

It's so worth it!

Since Done took office, the income of Ellington residents has doubled in three months, but after the income has soared, the residents have no corresponding consumption method, which has prevented the Lord's Mansion from recycling gold coins. This has always caused Fiona to criticize him. It was not until the release of comics and novels a few days ago that a small portion of gold coins were successfully recycled.

Then now, the appearance of the bicycle finally gave them the opportunity to spend money happily, so the salary that Tang En had just paid back flowed back to the lord's mansion's vault, and Fiona smiled again on her face.

Fiona, who is so obsessed with money, made Tang En shake his head and even talk to her: "Don't care too much about gold coins and wealth. To be honest, we are the ruling class, and the economy is the tool in our hands. The real purpose of using wealth to stimulate residents to produce and create is the illusion of a prosperous life for them. What really makes them rich is because of the increase in productivity after active work."

"I understand the truth, but I just like to watch the numbers of gold coins increase."

Fiona looked like "You're not happy, you can fire me", and her eyes clearly felt that Tang En was talking lies with her eyes open - who doesn't love gold coins in this world?

Tang En slapped his forehead and told a former nobleman who was a businessman that said this was indeed too early.

He could not tell Fiona that because productivity determines the production relations, and the economic foundation determines the superstructure. The contradiction between productivity and production relations, and the contradiction between the economic foundation and the superstructure must be resolved, because his ultimate goal is that the whole people will prepare for chaos, so he makes money to better drive the economic situation to develop in the direction he expects...

Of course she wouldn't listen. After all, she was a woman, and she could only listen to the part she wanted to hear - even if Fiona was the smarter one, she was also a woman.

I'm afraid in her eyes, the ultimate goal of making money should be to enjoy a rich life. Oh, no, she knows that she is a mage... So in her eyes, is she making money to build a mage tower?

Tang En couldn't help but sigh. Is she just so ambitious in her eyes?

——No matter what, I have to build a Tower of Babel?

When the economy is active to a certain level, the emergence of new things always brings a trend, just like this trend, led by the small newspapermen of the Tang Daily.

As the influence of Datang Daily gradually expands, the income of Ellington residents has increased day by day. Half a month after its birth, Datang Daily launched a subscription service, delivering newspapers to your doorstep every day, and all you need to pay for is an extra ten silver coins per month. Although it is a bit expensive, some people have already begun to enjoy this kind of life of spending money to receive services.

Before, the newspaper seller ran from house to house in the morning, but since the bicycle appeared, the situation has been different.

"Dingling~"

A crisp bell sounded, and then a "click" sound was heard, and a new Datang Daily was thrown into the mailbox at the door. When the owner who heard the sound went out, the newspaper seller was already riding his bicycle away.

After breakfast, people who need to go to work pushed their bicycles out.

"I'm going to work. Dingling~"

After saying hello, he met with other workers on the road, and rode his bicycle to the factory where he worked, making a new daily life for many people in just a few days.

If other Earth travelers came to Ellington at this time, they might have thought they had traveled to modern times. There is no way. In addition to the clothing and architectural styles of Ellington, the other styles are very similar to modern urban styles.

Whether it is a clean and tidy street layout, a flat asphalt road, or a street light erected on both sides of the street - it is worth mentioning that these street lights are crystal balls that constant lighting, not electric lights.

The reason why I don't use electric lights is, on the one hand, because Tang En couldn't get the material of the filament. He didn't know how to refine tungsten, but he only knew that bamboo charcoal could be used - but it was obviously not easy to use. Instead of trying so much to climb the earth's technology, it would be better to use magic to solve the problem simply and violently.

Constant lighting is the solution he found temporarily, because Ellington is not large yet, and the number of street lights is barely acceptable. If it continues to expand, he must find a way to find new means to solve the lighting problem - he cannot always squat in the warehouse to give street lights constant lighting. Perhaps the fluorescent grass of the elves is a good solution, environmentally friendly and energy-saving...

If the things before only influenced the lives of Ellington residents in a subtle way, then the emergence of bicycles directly changed their lives. Changes in travel methods have led to an acceleration of information transmission, an indirect improvement of work efficiency, and an acceleration of life rhythm.

After so many years of repression, the Ellington residents, who have lived in depression, finally burst out completely in the month of the 849th anniversary of the Order calendar with the birth of bicycles.

And this explosive power shocked all the spies who came to Ellington to inquire about the news recently.
