When Fusu and his team arrived at the selected ski resort on the outskirts of Xianyang City, Wang Bi and other important civil and military officials also followed, making Fusu burst into laughter.

Sure enough, there were still too few cultural and entertainment activities in Da Qin, even for the court officials.

Fortunately, the manufacture of sleds is very simple, and skilled craftsmen can quickly assemble a large number of them.

“These sleds assembled from long wooden boards can actually walk on the snow. Why?”

Ying Zheng looked at the crude sledding track in front of him curiously.

“The main reason why ordinary vehicles cannot walk in the snow is that the snow is too soft and it is easy to sink in.”

“Even if a vehicle or horse’s hooves drive over frozen ground, it will easily slip due to too little friction, and it will be difficult to get back up.”

“Therefore, if you want to glide on snow, there are two main tips. One is to increase the stress area and reduce the pressure per unit area. The second is to put on a relatively rough outer skin to increase the stress area.”

“In order to cope with possible emergencies in winter, Erchen has developed a steam snow plow. The main principle is to replace the tires with tracks with larger area and stronger grip performance. It can be regarded as another version of sled.”

“With the advent of steam snow plows, several of them are deployed in some important areas, and combined with snow melting salt and other means, a certain traffic capacity can be guaranteed as long as the heavy snow is not too heavy.”

Fusu introduced with a smile.

“So good!”

Ying Zheng nodded with surprise.

Due to climate reasons, it basically starts snowing north of the Qinling Mountains in winter, which easily blocks road traffic.

This will not only seriously affect trade logistics, but also for the imperial court. It means partial loss of control over the local area.

Once an accident occurs, it is difficult to respond in time, which is definitely not what Ying Zheng wants to see. The emergence of the steam snowplow now is definitely an excellent opportunity for Daqin information

“If this is the case, our troops stationed in various places in Daqin can also organize multiple sled troops to be responsible for patrolling the snow and opening roads to ensure road access.”

Wang Jian said with a smile.

He has communicated with Fusu many times for advice, but he has always longed for the all-weather combat capabilities of the Qin army.

Now that there is an opportunity to exercise in the snow, he will naturally not miss it.

“The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will allocate a special amount of funds to ensure the production of sleds and steam snow plows.”

Nei Shiteng also said cheerfully.

Heavy snow has blocked the mountains, and it is difficult to exchange materials from various places. Prices in many areas will skyrocket. If we can find a way, even if we invest more in the early stage, we can easily earn back.

Not to mention the economy. The political significance of this.

As the Minister of Household Affairs and a veteran minister for many years, Nei Shiteng is very clear about these.

“It seems that if I learn to ski with His Majesty and His Highness today, I can not only keep fit, but also set an example for the common people!”

Feng Quji, who has retired, also said with a smile.

After being cured of his illness, Feng Quji, who no longer had a lot of pressure and worries, has become more open-minded. His energy and energy are much better than before, and Ying Zhenghe The relationship among the officials has also been repaired a lot.

In the warm steam car carriage, Yu Shu and others, who were holding Xiao Xin’er and Xiao Wan’er’s two cotton-padded jackets, were also smiling.

For their husbands, they I have always admired him very much

“The first sled has been assembled. Father, do you want to give it a try?”

Fusu invited with a smile.

Due to the large number of people, Fusu temporarily asked the craftsmen to make a large sleigh, which was pulled by four horses, enough to accommodate more than ten people.

As for Yu Shu and other female family members and two The little ones have a sealed carriage specially customized for them. Not only do they use rubber and wool blankets to block the cold wind, but they also have several small heaters, which are enough to ensure that they can stay warm as spring even in the snow.

“Then my father is waiting for your performance, Fusu.”(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Ying Zheng followed Fu Su and jumped onto the front row of the sleigh. He has always been curious about new things.

As for Wang Jian and others, they didn’t need to say hello. Everyone has sat in the back very consciously

“The snowy scenery is too monotonous and easy to blind, so my father took this with him first. Fusu smiled and took out a pair of sunglasses and handed them to Ying Zheng. After thinking about it, he also gave a pair to Wang Jian.

“Your Highness, where are the veterans and others?”[]

Nestern said shamelessly.

“Sorry, I don’t have much in advance.”

“If you want it, you can arrange your own manpower to buy it from the Xincheng store.”

Fu Su spread his hands.

He gave Wang Jian a share because Wang Yu was about to pass away in autumn. Others did not have this kind of treatment.

Nei Shiteng and others suddenly couldn’t laugh or cry, and they became even more envious, jealous and hateful towards Wang Jian.

Everyone was laughing and joking. In the meantime, the ugly man had successfully controlled the horses, and the slightly cumbersome sleigh gradually accelerated amidst the surprised eyes of a group of people. In less than half a stick of incense, the sleigh had already completed its acceleration, and everyone felt The cold wind howled by, and the surrounding scenery was retreating rapidly.

“This speed is much faster than that of a carriage, right?”

“In one hour, I’m afraid I can run a hundred and eighty miles, right?”

Wang Jian stared blankly at the long snowflakes brought up by the sled, took a deep breath and said

“The friction is small, and the advantage is that it saves effort. It is completely gliding. Not only is the speed faster than a carriage, but the horse can continue to run longer.”

“The only drawback is that the control of this sled requires special training, otherwise it will be difficult to control it freely. Fusu said with a slight smile.

“Difficulties are nothing. There are tens of millions of people in Daqin. Even if we only pick one out of a hundred, we can train many qualified people.”

“And they are not only available in winter. Outside of winter, these well-trained sled experts can also help our Daqin continue to the north, conquer those perennially frozen lands, and expand the territory.”

Wang Ben said with a glint in his eyes.

Fusu smiled faintly.

The area Wang Ben mentioned was Siberia in later generations. It is still a wilderness area, but there are scattered footprints of a few nomadic tribes.

But as a traveler, Fusu naturally understands the richness of the land under this frozen soil.

Although it is currently difficult to develop, it is definitely right to occupy the land and incorporate it into Daqin first. What makes

Fusu even more happy is Wang Bi and others Under his own guidance, he has a stronger strategic vision than before, and an extremely active and pioneering heart.

As long as it is within the scope of Da Qin’s sight, it should belong to Da Qin’s vast territory!.
