Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 163 The Federation’s first mass-produced car

It's said to be a gift, but it's actually the finalized car that Dailem said before.

"Has it been finalized?" Huang Jiang touched the car parked on the roadside. Different from the cars that were all over the streets in his previous life, this new thing that was just born still retains the characteristics of the traditional federal horse-drawn carriage. The front section protrudes from the front of the car. It looks like a tractor, like a steel horse, and the cab and back seat are all wrapped in black sheet metal. The shape of the carriage is similar to that of an aristocratic carriage. It is obvious that Dailem deliberately referred to that classic style when designing. carriage carriage.

"It's very beautiful." Huang Jiang sighed. Although it is not as refined as modern cars, it still has a rough and rough beauty. Huang Jiang likes this style very much.

Huang Jiang skillfully opened the door and got into the cab.

Because Huang Jiang occasionally made suggestions, this car had many structures that modern cars have at the beginning of its birth, such as a round steering wheel, clutch, accelerator, brake, handbrake and transmission, even on the side of the steering wheel in the cab. A mechanical speedometer was also placed.

The feel is very similar to when I was learning to drive.

Huang Jiang couldn't help but sigh at the genius of Dailem and his engineers, who actually made such an abstract description very close to it.

Huang Jiang started the car and drove Dailem and Thors to the Dailem factory in Beigang.

Although the structure is somewhat different, as an experienced driver, Huang Jiang quickly became familiar with the operation.Pedestrians along the way stopped to watch this strange iron guy.

When the car drove halfway, a strange idea suddenly popped up in Huang Jiang's mind.

Does this count as driving without a license?

But then, Huang Jiang thought of another thing.With the popularity of automobiles, there are still things that need to be done, and the first is infrastructure construction.

Huang Jiang must bring the style of the infrastructure maniac!

Roads must be repaired. In order to save the cost of changing regulations as much as possible, Huangjiang required Dailem's car to be based on existing metric roads at the beginning of its design. The width of the vehicle is roughly the same as that of a freight car. Carriage quite.

There is no need for Huangjiang to copy traffic signs. The federation already has them, but it can take advantage of the popularization of electricity to promote traffic lights.

But these are all things for later. Before that, there is another very noteworthy problem in Huangjiang River.

"How much does this car cost?" Huang Jiang asked as he parked the car in front of the factory.

"About 8000 soles," Dalem replied.

"It's too expensive." Huang Jiang shook his head, "Our car target group is the public, the middle class. They can't spend two years' salary to buy a new vehicle. Remove all unnecessary things, and don't use the wheels. Wood, hard nanmu is too expensive. I think rubber is a good substitute. Didn't Clover Collar recently discover a large number of rubber forests, which caused the price of rubber to drop? Use it as a tire..."

Huang Jiang said, glanced at the car, and continued: "Remove all these sheet metals, and remove the entire top except for the doors."

"Isn't this open in the open? If it rains, you can't let the driver use an umbrella, right?" Dailem asked worriedly.

"Then add a retractable rain shelter." Huang Jiang thought about the structure of the convertible, "Then make some parts into standard parts and open the mold. And here, here..."

In fact, Huang Jiang didn't understand this either, but he was not responsible for the design. This time he was Party A.

While he was enjoying the comfort of Party A's gesticulation, he was also instilling some assembly line production ideas into Dailem. After all, in order to occupy the market as soon as possible before imitators appear, he needs to increase production while lowering the price. This is We have to use the assembly line production that the time travelers have tried and tested.This is a very easy-to-understand method. After mentioning it a little, the two people following Huang Jiang already understood.

"But this type of car should be kept." Huang Jiang patted the roof of the car and said.

"But if it is actually produced...the cost..."

"It doesn't matter, its audience will not be ordinary people." Huang Jiang said, "Don't nobles like to be unconventional and flaunt their differences from ordinary people? Design the interior of this model to be more luxurious, not too explicit, and low-key Do you know what luxury is? It’s the kind where you have an unknown model with high quality, and then increase the price of the model 10 times, no, just make it a limited edition.”

Huang Jiang walked into the factory as he spoke.

The initial mission of this factory, funded by Huangjiang and operated by Thors and Dailem, was to promote automobiles as a production base for Huangjiang.However, because the car has not yet been finalized, the current factory is still making some industrial internal combustion engines. Although Dailem has been committed to the miniaturization of internal combustion engines, it does not mean that he is not good at this.

But soon, these production lines will be stopped. After Dailem completes the modifications, they will be modified to adapt to the production requirements of the car.

"But can our funds...really be able to promote automobiles throughout the federation?" Towers asked with some concern.

"We need someone to help us." Huang Jiang smiled confidently, "And he is also a very, very rich man. I think he is very happy to see the emergence of this new type of transportation."

"What's the brand of the car?" Towers suddenly asked, "If you want to promote it, there must be a brand, right?"

"Lamborghini? Maserati? Porsche? Tesla?" Huang Jiang casually reported several famous car brands, but he glanced at the confused two people and knew that they had no idea what the allusions to these inexplicable car names were. , finally decided, "Forget it, let's call it Jialan."

After explaining some things, Huang Jiang drove away and left.

He was very happy, after all, the Deacon Mansion finally had a vehicle he liked.Huang Jiang can't really say he hates horse-drawn carriages, but it's just that raising horses is too troublesome, and leaving it to the islanders to raise them for free is too overbearing, so Huang Jiang usually walks when he goes out, just as a way to exercise. , and when it was time to use a carriage, Huang Jiang would go to the village to borrow one.

Over time, a carriage specially designed for the Huangjiang River was born in this original village.

This made him very embarrassed.

"commander."

Arriving at the Deacon's Mansion, Sheng Sheng gently knocked on the car window.She was not surprised by the appearance of cars, because every ship girl knew that Huang Jiang was funding the research and development of cars, and on several occasions, he had used his reputation to pay for it.

Huang Jiang got off the car.

Now that the service hall on the first floor has been moved to the newly built building next door, the Deacon's Mansion no longer has the hustle and bustle of the past and looks a bit deserted. This also strengthens Huang Jiang's determination to continue summoning some ship girls.

"What's wrong?" Huang Jiang asked Reputation as he walked upstairs.

Reputation's expression made Huang Jiang feel that something had happened.

"Saratoga noticed the Mirage's unusual behavior while on patrol not long ago."
