"Humph! It's just a pile of five thousand jin. Isn't it enough to show the advantage of the arch bridge? "The old servant on the side snorted.
Li Yun nodded. Although the load of one hundred thousand jin was enough for daily use, what they needed now was a competition. Of course, one hundred thousand jin was not the limit of the arch bridge, so he was not convinced.
Moreover, the weight of one hundred thousand jin was evenly distributed throughout the bridge, which was not too difficult for a bridge. The real test of the bridge's load-bearing capacity was the carriage.
"Increase the load!" Li Yun's eyes were firm as he growled.
"Yes!" The old servant nodded excitedly and immediately ordered the craftsmen to pull out a special four-wheeled carriage. This four-wheeled carriage had eight wheels, which was a replica of the military's carriage. It had a very strong load-bearing capacity.
However, this time, in order to increase the weight of the carriage, Li Yun directly used heavier iron ornaments. Each iron ornament was a thousand jin, and Li Yun used a total of twenty of them.
"Twenty thousand jin for a bicycle!"
Li Yun looked at the special carriage and couldn't help but feel proud. This time, he must use practical actions to prove himself.
"Go!" The craftsmen shouted. The carriage slowly moved and went straight to the arch bridge.
"Such a big carriage!"
When the giant carriage smoothly drove across the arch bridge, the people on both sides of the bridge were immediately shocked.
The people of the Gongshu family on the shore couldn't help but gasp. They naturally knew that the test of the bridge with a bicycle weighing twenty thousand jin was much more difficult than the test of more than ten carriages evenly distributed on the arch bridge.
"Xiangfu family!" Gongshu Hong said with a dignified look.
However, this was not the limit of the arch bridge. Then, under Li Yun's order, the iron ornaments continued to increase. The bicycle weighed thirty thousand jin, fifty thousand jin, and only stopped when it reached eighty thousand jin.
Moreover, it wasn't that the arch bridge built by Li Yun couldn't bear more load, but that even Li Yun's special four-wheeled carriage couldn't bear the weight of ninety thousand jin. In addition, although the arch bridge was good, there was a certain slope. Such a heavy carriage, even if it was pulled by sixteen horses, still couldn't cross the arch bridge.
"Eighty thousand jin for a bicycle!"
The people on both sides of the bridge couldn't help but be in an uproar. It was the first time they had heard of such a crazy method of testing the bridge. The Gongshu Family members in the crowd all gasped. They were more knowledgeable than ordinary people, so they knew how difficult it was for a bridge to withstand the weight of a bicycle that weighed eighty thousand kilograms. This was something that the Gongshu family's craftsmanship could never achieve.
"Eighty thousand jin!" When Princess Changle heard Brother Mo Jiazi's report, she couldn't help but be shocked. She couldn't help but look worriedly at Meton at the side. It had to be said that the news of a bicycle weighing eighty thousand jin was really too shocking. This was an unprecedented crazy bridge testing method.
Hearing this, Meton could not help but sigh in his heart. The Xiangfu family was indeed extraordinary, and this was also the reason why the carriage could not bear too much weight. If it was like the power of the later generations, the number of weight that the arch bridge could bear would be much higher.
"This is just a small matter. Trust your husband!" Meton patted Princess Changle's soft hand and said confidently.
In an instant, Princess Changle's worries disappeared. Every time Meton showed this smile, she felt inexplicably at ease. In her heart, there was only trust in Meton.
"Let's begin!" Modun exhaled heavily. Since Li Yun had already made his move, he naturally had to deal with it as it came.
"Yes! Young Master! "One of Mo Jiazi's brothers accepted the order and hurried away.
It didn't take long for a shocked uproar to erupt from the southern bank, causing everyone to turn their heads. The uproar grew louder and louder, and a colossus slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
"This is the Bridge Erecting Machine!" The sharp-eyed Gongshu Hao could not help but stretch his neck and say in shock. The other Gongshu family members nodded heavily. When the Mo family laid the bridge, the Bridge Erecting Machine could be said to have caused a sensation in the craftsmen's circle of Chang 'an. Almost all the craftsmen heard the news and came to see the largest machine in the history of China.
"Wow!" The people on both sides of the river were shocked.
When the majestic Bridge Erecting Machine appeared in front of the world again, the shock in their hearts did not lessen at all. After all, this represented the most powerful force in the history of mankind.
"By the way, isn't the bridge already completed? Why does Mo Jiazi still want to use the Bridge Erecting Machine? "Gongshu Hao was puzzled.
Gongshu Hong looked at the Bridge Erecting Machine, which was like a steel behemoth, and said with a wry smile, "Only a strong body can lift heavy things. The Bridge Erecting Machine can lift huge beams, so its weight can be imagined. Although I don't know the exact weight, it is definitely more than 80,000 jin."
Gongshu Hao suddenly understood and said, "Mo Jiazi wants to use the Bridge Erecting Machine's weight to prove the bridge's name."
Gongshu Hong nodded heavily and said, "In addition, Mo Jiazi's move has another meaning, which is that the purpose of the bridge construction is to make the world unimpeded. The biggest and heaviest vehicle in the world is undoubtedly the Bridge Erecting Machine. If the Bridge Erecting Machine can smoothly pass through the bridge, doesn't it prove that the bridge can meet all the needs of the world? "
The Gongshu family members all nodded. If the Bridge Erecting Machine could pass through the bridge today, the world would no longer have any doubts about the bridge.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Wu Meiniang sat high up on the Bridge Erecting Machine, continuously giving orders to Mo Jiazi's brothers. Under the command of Wu Meiniang, the Bridge Erecting Machine smoothly drove into the bridge.
"The bridge is fine?"
"It's a girl who is giving orders."
…
In the crowd, seeing the Bridge Erecting Machine moving slowly on the bridge, people couldn't help but exclaim.
"That girl is Mo Jiazi's disciple!" Some people had seen Wu Meiniang's experience of commanding the Bridge Erecting Machine to lay down the bridge, so they couldn't help but exclaim.
"Mo Jiazi's disciple!" Gongshu Hong couldn't help but glance at his son next to him. All this time, he had been working hard to cultivate his son, but now it seemed that his son was not necessarily comparable to Mo Jiazi's female disciple.
Such a huge monster in the hands of Wu Meiniang was like a superstar toy, while his son was obsessed with a small lock. The difference was too big.
When the Bridge Erecting Machine appeared, it immediately became the focus of the crowd, and Wu Meiniang, who was commanding the Bridge Erecting Machine, was like a pearl on the crown, particularly eye-catching.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the Bridge Erecting Machine on the bridge. Time froze in an instant. Every time the Bridge Erecting Machine moved, the people on both sides of the bridge couldn't help but rejoice. When the huge Bridge Erecting Machine smoothly passed through the Bridge Erecting Machine, the people on both sides of the bridge instantly became excited.
"Good!" The people on both sides of the bridge cheered almost at the same time.
The cheers came one after another, directly transmitted to the Arch Bridge. On the Arch Bridge, Li Yun's heart was as if he had lost something. Although his Arch Bridge hadn't reached its limit, the slope of the Arch Bridge had already limited the Arch Bridge. It couldn't pass through too heavy a carriage, but the Beam Bridge was different. It was like a flat ground. As long as the horsepower was enough, even heavy goods could pass through easily.
"I lost!"
Li Yun said dejectedly.
His defeat this time wasn't because he had lost to the Mo Family's son once again. It was because his ancestor, Li Chunyin, who was so proud of Gong Qiao, had also lost to an unknown Liang Qiao.
From now on, the Arch Bridge that had lasted for a long time in Huaxia would come to an end, and the Beam Bridge, which was easy to set up, had amazing capacity, and was easy to pass through, would become the most dazzling star in the bridge industry of the Tang dynasty.
