Chapter 789： car

Wu Changqing could leave it to others, as he had other things to be busy with.

On April 1, the palace, the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Wu Changqing looked at the car, and some of his concubines and children were onlookers.

They are also very curious about the novelty of cars.

It has a steering wheel and four wheels. From the outside, it is indeed a car.

"What is the maximum speed, how much load can be reached, and how long can it continue driving?"

Wu Changqing asked a few more intuitive data. As for the thermal efficiency, he did not ask at all. It is estimated that none of these designers has come up with such a professional term.

"My Majesty, the average speed can reach 10 kilometers per hour, which is similar to a human trot, and the maximum speed can reach 20 kilometers per hour. If the load is less than 500 catties, the car can run normally, and the maximum load can reach one thousand catties, but It is easy to cause the car to stall.

After our many tests, the longest continuous working time is 10 hours. If you pay attention to maintenance, an engine can be used for one month to several months. "

Huo Jiange introduced.

"How much does it cost?"

Wu Changqing continued to ask, although the various performance values ​​of the car have reached a practical level, whether it can start mass production and use depends on the cost.

If the cost is too high, it can only be used as a plaything for the rich. If you want to use it as the main force of transportation to save transportation costs, obviously it will not work.

"It's still in the exploratory stage. Many parts are produced individually and have not been scaled up, so the cost is very high.

It costs nearly 50,000 yuan to build a car in front of you, which has no practical value. However, once the manufacturing plan is determined and large-scale production is formed, the cost can be reduced by about five times.

Coupled with the continuous improvement of technology and the optimization of the process flow, it is believed that the manufacturing cost can be reduced to about 5,000 yuan in half a year. "

Huo Jiange gave a data they estimated.

Five thousand yuan, this is still a sky-high price.

You must know that at present, an ordinary textile worker has a monthly salary of only three yuan, and a steel worker is better, only five yuan a month.

In other words, a steel worker, without eating or drinking, needs to work for ten years before he can afford a car.

It seems that it is not too outrageous.

Wu Changqing would think of his previous life, and it took ten years of work before he bought the first car.

Of course, he did not eat or drink when he was working.

If civilians want to use a car, they must wait a long time, at least when the car drops to 1,000 yuan.

After all, it is impossible for one to save money to buy a car without eating or drinking.

However, for the rich, the car does not seem to be expensive.

BMW cars on the market today cost 1,000 yuan each. Add in the money for raising horses and horsemen, and a carriage for transportation costs about two thousand yuan.

Cars are much more high-end than horse-drawn carriages, several times more expensive, and they will certainly be looted.

"You can manufacture and sell while improving the process. It can be sold at a higher price in the early stage, and those rich people who like to be curious will definitely be willing to spend money.

All the money earned is invested in research and development to reduce manufacturing costs as soon as possible. After all, the biggest role of cars is not to show off to those rich people, but to transport goods.

Only by reducing manufacturing costs can we improve our country's transportation capacity. "

Wu Changqing instructed.

The investment in the internal combustion engine project has been going on for nearly two years, and it has cost Wu Changqing nearly five million private money, which is not a small sum.

If you continue to invest, Wu Changqing doesn't have that much money and must make this thing profitable from now on.

"Yes."

Huo Jiange said.

"Who will test drive, let me see the effect."

After Wu Changqing finished speaking, those R&D personnel rushed to stand up and volunteered.

This kind of opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor is rare.

"You come."

Wu Changqing ordered someone close to him.

"Thank your majesty."

Huang Zhiming said joyfully, then got into the car and started.

With a banging noise, the car started to move and drove slowly on the square.

"It's really moving, it's really interesting."

Miao Ping said.

"What's weird about this. The train I took when I went back to my mother's home province last time was much larger than this car, and it moved on its own."

Yang Xiaoxiao said.

"It will be much more convenient to travel in the future."

"There is still black smoke behind this car, I am afraid it will be unsightly to sit in."

.......

"I want to take a car, I want to take a car."

The eldest son of the emperor Wu Kun was struggling in the arms of the **** An Lugui, shouting to go by car.

"My little ancestor, you can't go, it's too dangerous."

An Lugui didn't let go of Wu Kun, no matter how he pinched him.

If something happens to Wu Kun, he can't afford it.

However, Wu Kun was not easy to deal with. He stomped on An Lugui's feet, and An Lugui let go of his painful feet, and Wu Kun broke free, and then ran all the way to chase the car.

"Come back to me and find out if you can beat me up."

Wu Changqing yelled, and Wu Kun stopped and ran behind Luo Min.

For the father, he was a little scared.

Wu Changqing is usually too lazy to manage under Wu Kun's naughty.

But now, the performance of this car is still hard to say. If something goes wrong and the driver can't control the direction, it will be dangerous.

Being bold has the advantage of being bold, but it's not good to be too bold.

Huang Zhiming dared to stand up and drive, of course, he has nothing to say about his level.

It took two turns in the square before stopping, and everything went smoothly.

"Come on, let me try."

Wu Changqing said.

When driving, he will naturally too. It's just that I haven't opened it for many years, and I don't know if the craftsmanship is strange. Moreover, the original version of the car in front of us is very different from the mature cars of later generations, and it is much more difficult to control.

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous."

Feng Debao and others urged them.

If something happens to the emperor, they will inevitably be punished.

At that time, no one would investigate whether Wu Changqing was going to drive himself. Anyway, something happened to the emperor, it was the fault of their servants and courtiers.

"I ride a horse faster than this thing, what danger can there be, go away."

Wu Changqing vomited.

If the top speed of this car can reach fifty or sixty kilometers per hour, he still needs to worry about injury.

However, what can happen to a thing with a top speed of only 20 kilometers even if it rolls over.

Besides, he is not stupid and does not operate indiscriminately. As long as the car does not break down, what can be done.

Wu Changqing's decision has been made, and no one else can do it. They only dared to dissuade them verbally, but did not dare to stop them in action.
