"Okay, let's not talk about the train, now it's a little bit bitter, and then we will have a better life in the future, so it's bitter first, then sweet." Ren Baqian waved his hand.
"I'm here today to show you this epoch-making product tractor!" Ren Baqian stretched out his hand and pulled the red cloth away, revealing the red steel monster underneath!
Well, Ren Baqian hoped that this tractor would have a monster-like appearance, which would look more shocking.
But the one in front of me looks no different from the brick-pulling tractor I used to run all over the street when I was a child, and even simpler. A cover is used to cover most of the structure, but the two sides are completely open, and the tractor can be seen Most of the structure inside.
The cab is located at two-thirds from the front to the rear, which makes the tractor's head look very long.
This tractor can be said to be twice as large as the Earth tractor with the same data. On the one hand, it is because Dayao's forging technology level is relatively low at present, and it is difficult to make the engine too small.
On the other hand, it is because of the large fuel tank.
Obviously, in this world, the utility of a big fuel tank is enormous.
…
Although Ren Baqian thought this tractor looked a bit lousy, everyone was still very interested in it.
After all, such a steel creation can be seen from the side that its structure is very complicated, full of technological fantasy style.
"What is this for? Mining? Or steelmaking?" Everyone circled around and discussed.
"Hey, why is this thing so weak?" Lian Liang grabbed the round handle in his hand and waved it above his head.
Ren Baqian's face turned dark immediately. "Let me down!"
Before the demonstration of this tractor, Lian Liang pulled the steering wheel off.
Fortunately, the steering wheel and the steering shaft below are separated, connected by snaps, and can still be installed, but he dare not let these people continue to touch it.
Pushing everyone aside, Ren Baqian got on the tractor without saying a word, and cheered at the empress, "Your Majesty, I'll take you for a ride!"
The empress sneered at first, as if she didn't know what a tractor was
But that being said, she was still a little interested.
After all, this is not the earth, this is Dayao, and this tractor bears the label of Madein Dayao.
With a slight movement of her figure, the empress landed behind the seat.
"Let's go." Ren Baqian first watched for a long time, then slapped his head and came down with a Z-shaped iron pipe, inserted it into the side of the tractor and shook it a dozen times before the tractor began to vibrate.
"This thing also hurts?" I don't know who came up with such a sentence.
Only then did Ren Baqian return to the driving seat and step on the accelerator.
chug chug chug...
The tractor trembled for a while, and a puff of white smoke spewed out from the back of the tractor. Then it moved forward slowly, and then the speed became faster and faster, reaching the limit speed of twenty yards like flying.
There was an exclamation from behind, all from civilians.
"This thing is the same as that train. It can walk by itself." Tong Zhenye, Tu Wan and others tapped their toes, and walked on the same level as the tractor.
"It doesn't smoke as much as that."
"There's not much smoke, but it's quite choking and smells bad."
"This one can run directly on the ground!"
Ren Baqian was driving a tractor, with the empress behind him, and a group of people were walking on the same level on the other side and discussing.
The empress sat in the back, she didn't feel anything else, she just felt that the tractor was trembling violently, it was incomparable with the cars she had been in before, and looked to the side, and saw that guy Lian Liang was facing that way with his skirt, even though he was in the He stared at the tractor curiously.
But the empress didn't say anything, she flew up when she pressed her palm, and shot Lianliang more than 20 meters away with one kick.
Ren Baqian looked at the crowd of onlookers around him, twitched the corners of his mouth, turned the steering wheel and drove the tractor off the concrete road, heading straight to the grass next to it.
It had just rained, and the ground was already soft. When the tractor ran on it again, mud and water splashed everywhere, as if it had rained black.
The empress was the first to react, she reached out and grabbed Tu Wan next to her to block her face, while Tu Wan reached out her hand to grab Shao Nong Siqing next to her to block her face...
The Empress found a space to jump onto the tractor and kick Ren Baqian off, then she stepped on the gas pedal like him, ran wildly, and then drove the tractor into the ditch...
But the Empress also managed to get rid of Ren Baqian's muddy body.
"It's still very interesting, but it's a bit slow." The empress said while standing by the ditch and looking at the tractor in the ditch.
Ren Baqian twitched the corners of his mouth, turned around and looked at the crowd:
"Everyone, this is the new product this time, the tractor."
"As you can see, this new product, like a train, can run without manpower and animal power, and can maintain the same speed for a long time. The maximum speed is 60 miles per hour, and 120 miles per hour. It can be done without sleep or rest for a day. Running 1440 miles, it only takes three days from Lancheng to Pingducheng.
It takes ten days for an ox cart to pull a load of about 1,500 kilograms on this cement road.
This kind of tractor can pull 8,000 kilograms of goods, which is five times that of a bullock cart, but it only takes three days. It can be used by only one person. One person, one tractor like this, can do what five people and five horned oxen can do! And the speed is three times that of an ox cart. Bullock carts go back and forth, but tractors can go back and forth to Santang. "
When Ren Baqian said this, everyone began to show admiration.
Saying that the data is useless, telling them how many things they can pull and saving a few days of travel can make it easy for everyone to understand.
"In addition, the use of this kind of tractor has less requirements on the terrain, not only on the cement road, but even in the field and on the muddy road, it will not be hindered. That is to say, in areas where there is no concrete road , the use of this kind of tractor will still not be affected, the bullock cart can pull 1,000 jin of goods, and the tractor can pull 4,000 to 5,000 jin of goods. And the speed is more than several times that of the ox cart.”
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked happy: "This is a good thing."
In the eyes of most people, this thing is much more valuable than the train.
"And besides that, this tractor has other uses, like plowing.
A horned ox can plow 6 mu of land a day, but this kind of tractor can plow 60 mu of land a day with supporting equipment! Ten times that of a horned ox! "
Tian Musiqing Ge Yihong first looked happy, and then thought for a while and said: "The stuff is pretty good, but the farm work is all done by this thing, what are people doing?"
"Factory! Our factory needs a lot of manpower!" Ren Baqian said without hesitation.
"Forget it, don't think about that. This thing is very valuable, right? In fact, only the various ministries can afford it! And it depends on whether you agree or not!" Tong Zhenye pointed out the problem directly beside him. .
"Two hundred taels!" Ren Baqian said a figure equivalent to ten years' income of an ordinary person.
But the load and speed of the tractor are several times that of the bullock cart. One tractor can go back and forth to Izumo five times in one month, transporting a total of 40,000 jin of goods. If you add the goods on the return journey, it will be 80,000 catties.
And a bullock cart can only run one and a half trips, and can pull up to three thousand catties of goods back and forth.
In fact, the difference can be more than ten times in a month.
In other words, the money can be earned back within a year at most.
The same is true when plowing the land. On the plowing land, a tractor can hold up to ten people.
In this way, the money is actually not expensive.
"How much?" Ge Yihong asked with his ears out.
The others also looked incredible.
This thing is only two hundred taels
The iron used on this thing costs thousands of taels of silver, right
