The invention of several farmers really surprised Yang Cong. These people really dare to think about it. They can even make "cars"!

He really didn't expect this, because people in this era had never seen cars, so how did they come up with this thing?

He couldn't help but wonder, "How did you think of this?"

Several farmers pushed and shoved excitedly, and finally, a clever young man was pushed out and replied carefully: "Sir, our field plowing machine is actually the fire dragon car you invented. However, this field plowing machine has to be in the field, so we replaced the wheels with wood and widened a lot so that the wheels would not trap in the ground."

It turned out that this was the case. When Yang Cong heard this, he suddenly realized that the structure of the field plowing machine they made was very similar to that of the Fire Dragon Car, but there was no carriage on it.

These people are really smart!

However, their intelligence seems useless to the point, or in other words, the significance of inventing this field plowing machine is far less important than that of inventing a car.

He hadn't considered building cars, but there were no rubber tires or something at this moment. When he thought that the wheel would trap the soil, he gave up.

Unexpectedly, these guys could come up with this solution.

Yes, as long as the wheels are widened, they will not trap in the soil. Why didn’t he expect such a simple truth?

Sometimes rich experience can indeed make people avoid many detours and reach the end point directly, but sometimes experience is also a kind of constraint, making people's thinking fixed within a certain range, thus ignoring many other things.

Just like this car, Yang Cong always believed that the wheels of the car must be rubber tires, but he never thought that simple wooden wheels would be fine.

This wooden wheel is really good, because the children of farmers have proved it to him. Although the plowing machine they made is just a boiler, copper tube and steam engine, and even people cannot sit, this thing can indeed walk in the ground and the wheels will not be trapped in at all.

If you add the car, add the seats, and get on the person, the load capacity of the car will indeed increase a lot. However, it doesn’t matter. Just make the wheels a little wider. If you don’t have a few inches wide, just one foot, and if you don’t have a foot wide, just two feet. As long as the wheels are wide enough, no matter how heavy the car is, it won’t get stuck in the soil.

In short, no one stipulates how wide this wheel should be. If the width is appropriate, how wide it is!

Looking at the rough wheels of the field plowing machine, he even thought that this wheel was not necessary at all. Just saw the logs with a diameter of one foot or two feet into pieces, and then add the wheel axle in the middle, which is not enough. At this moment, there are many such big trees, at least it is enough to replace them before discovering rubber.

In this way, the cars made will definitely be very different from those of later generations, and they may even look weird. But what does that matter? People in this era have never seen cars. No matter how weird they are, they are just looking weird.

So, how do you guide these people to make "cars"?

To be honest, the plowing machine "invented" by these farmers cannot be considered a car, because this thing cannot be seated at all, and the direction must be controlled by the people behind. It is almost the same to say that this thing is like a hand-held tractor.

A hand-held tractor seems to be good, at least this thing is not released. Only when the thing comes out can there be a possibility of continuous improvement. If this thing is not released, how can people improve it?

As she thought about it, Yang Cong couldn't help but nod and said, "Well, this thing is very creative, quite good."

When the children of farmers heard this, they were all happy. Next, are they going to talk about the issue of rewarding money?

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong breathed heavily and said, "However, some places still need to be improved."

Okay, if you improve it, you will improve it. After all, it is better to improve it than to deny it in a whole way. There is no chance of improvement, so they should not think about rewarding money.

The clever young man hurriedly bowed: "Sir, the student is stupid. I can't think of any places that need improvement. Please give me advice."

Yang Cong nodded slightly and then instructed: "For example, the person who controls the field plowing machine behind you can lengthen the car board a little longer and add a seat to let him sit on the field plowing machine, right? So many things are in the car, is there still a place for one person to sit?"

This is indeed a place where people sit. If people sit on it, the direction of the plowing machine will be uncontrollable if they sit on it.

The clever young man said helplessly: "Sir, we have considered this, but once this person sat on it, he could not control the direction of the plowing machine."

This question is simple, add a steering wheel and a steering system.

However, these things may be a bit difficult for people of this era to understand, so they did not copy them even though there were them on the Fire Dragon Car.

Yang Cong thought about it carefully, and then instructed: "This is simple. You can add a flatbed cart similar to the front at the back, and hang it at the back, and don't connect it completely. Then raise the armrest to make it easier to control, so that the direction of the plowing machine can be controlled."

What he said was actually the hand-held tractors in later generations. Because the steering wheel and steering system were too troublesome, it was not suitable for promotion at this time. The steering method of the hand-held tractor can be used as a reference.

As for how these people will understand and what they will look like, it is unknown.

The clever young man thought for a while after hearing this, then looked at the other companions, and then said solemnly: "Student understands, thank you for your advice."

Yang Cong nodded, and then praised: "Your water truck is very good. With this thing, it will be much more convenient to irrigate the farmland in the future. For this reason, I will reward you with 1,000 taels. Also, the idea of ​​this field plowing machine is also quite good. If you add the seats at the back first, and think about whether you can make a car that replaces the carriage? If it is made, I will reward you with 1,000 taels. Moreover, I will set up a factory for you. In the future, you will all pay dividends after the car you make is sold."

Sure enough, the reward came, one thousand taels, which was enough for them to be excited. The 10,000 taels and dividends in the future made them look forward to it. The children of the farmers were all excited and blushed. I believe that under the stimulation of this huge bonus, they would soon bring the Ming Dynasty version of the car or hand-held tractor.

What would the Ming Dynasty version of the car look like?

It's really exciting.

After this, he could finally go home. It was almost noon and it was almost time for dinner. He simply greeted Wang Xuan and asked him to go home for dinner.

Wang Xuan was not polite. It was common for Yang Cong to invite him to dinner. Moreover, they had a lot of topics to talk about every time, just like this time, the variety and production scale of steam engines were enough for them to talk about for a while.

On the way back, Yang Cong thought a lot, and he found that he had overlooked a very important issue.

To put it bluntly, this question is himself!

He was using money to stimulate these people to invent and create. The things that these people invented and created also stimulated him. There were countless "good things" in his mind. Isn't it a pity not to "invent" it?
