Chapter 1083 Heavy Truck
After three months of busy work at the Blacksmith Workshop, the first internal combustion engine powered heavy truck was built.
The heavy truck uses a large internal combustion engine power, which is twice as large as the internal combustion engine of Youzhou No. 1, and is dragged a five-meter-long six-wheeled hanger.
The car body is wide, and the vibration sound can be heard from a distance when starting. After completing this sample car, the craftsmen in the production workshop of the Blacksmith Workshop set off the vehicle to display in Youzhou City as soon as possible.
The sound of the booming engine quickly attracted a large number of people to watch, and the people from the Blacksmith Workshop also introduced the data specifications of Youzhou No. 1 heavy truck.
The whistle just walked and pressed it one after another. In the morning, the people who passed by Youzhou City basically saw it.
All the students in the school received the notice and asked the children to come out to watch the showcase of Youzhou No. 1 Heavy Truck.
Even the martial arts hall on Wulin Street dispatched a lion dance team and more than a hundred people followed the car and really made a big parade.
All the people in the city guards and inner guards took to the streets to maintain order and handle matters.
The successful manufacturing of heavy trucks means that from then on, transportation work can rely not only on horses, but also the technology of the blacksmith workshop has reached a technical level.
Internal combustion engine automotive technology can be said to be able to subvert the development of the world.
In the display area of Youzhou City, the people from the Blacksmith Workshop will stop the heavy car for display, and will introduce the data on all aspects of the car, especially the cargo loading.
At present, the steam locomotives that the people are riding on are faster than those of horse-drawn carriages.
The load-load speed of heavy trucks is faster than that of rail steam locomotives.
The test was conducted on the spot, and the heavy trucks were loaded with a large truck of grain and transported the grain to the Pioneer Army's garrison at twice the speed faster than the carriage.
Another fifty vanguard soldiers were transported back to Youzhou City and lowered the vanguard soldiers at the gate of the city guarding mansion.
As evidenced by facts, everyone believed it. In the future, horses will not restrict transportation and will also make Youzhou caravan feel a sense of crisis.
Born in distress and died in peace, the merchants in Youzhou all knew very well and immediately realized how to apply heavy trucks to transportation business. The caravans would lose a large amount of transportation business.
So I immediately discussed with the people in the city guard's mansion to buy a heavy truck.
The sales price was 500,000 yuan per caravan. At that time, the caravan leaders were all surprised. Buying such a vehicle was simply investing in their wealth and lives. The price was too expensive and they had to reconsider it.
In their opinion, the price of 500,000 yuan is too expensive. If their caravan cannot afford it, the chamber of commerce may not be able to use it in large quantities. In this way, their existing business is still competitive.
Five hundred thousand cents are the market sales price, and the value of time is much lower than 50% of the sales price. The main cost consumption is iron ore. Today's vehicles do not have much advanced technical content.
The reason why Li De asked the Blacksmith Workshop to fight trucks was also sold, but advanced equipment must be equipped with the city guard office first.
In particular, heavy trucks play a crucial role in transporting materials. The first batch of orders was thirty units, and they were planned to give priority to the distribution of the vanguard's baggage.
In the future, all carriages will be replaced by transporting thirty trucks, and one trip of thirty trucks can satisfy the consumption of ten thousand soldiers and horses in one month.
Li De believes that only applications can accelerate development, and whether heavy trucks can meet the needs can only be demonstrated through practice.
The next day, the pattern of cars and heavy trucks appeared in the Youzhou newspapers. The two models were written in a magical way, which made people who had never seen them think they were fake.
The newspaper also said that a car show was held in Youzhou a month later, and the news attracted many nobles from aristocratic families.
Which family has no money, and is very curious about new things.
I plan to go to Youzhou to take a look.
Li Yuan was in a bad mood when he saw the newspapers in Youzhou. He was afraid that the aristocratic families of the Tang Kingdom would be attracted by Youzhou. Although the royal family and the aristocratic families were somewhat opposite in some matters, it has to be said that if there were no aristocratic families to support the Tang Kingdom's court, many things would be difficult to do.
"Youzhou cars can walk without horses. Is it the kind of steam locomotive?" Li Shimin asked Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji has been riding a steam locomotive many times and already knows that he can move quickly without a horse, but that requires rails. The car introduction in the newspaper does not need to rely on rails to adapt to flatter ground driving.
"In a month, Wuji, you can check if there are really those that can be done as written in the newspaper."
Li Shimin is really optimistic about the ability of heavy trucks in transportation business.
Just as it takes one day to ride a horse-drawn carriage from Chang'an to Luoyang, it can save half a day if it is replaced with a steam locomotive.
It may only take two hours to use a car. If this speed is true, wouldn’t it mean that replacing a carriage can quickly transport materials?
After Youzhou mastered these cars, wouldn’t it be possible to transfer them on the battlefield at any time? There is no need to consider food issues at all.
Li Shimin felt that the combat effectiveness of the vanguard soldiers had to be re-evaluated.
In the Xiao family courtyard on the outskirts of Yucheng City, Xiao Xian was discussing the content of cars in the newspaper with Zhang Zhongjian.
"Master Xiao, do you think this news is true?"
"Why doesn't the head of the Zhang family believe that Youzhou can create such a magical thing?"
"I can't confirm if I haven't seen it."
Zhang Zhongjian insisted on his own opinion. He was such a pragmatic person. Besides, how could the iron cart be moved without a horse? He couldn't even think of how to do it.
He even doubted whether Li De from Youzhou wanted to deal with them and found such a reason to attract them to Youzhou.
Xiao Xian was very calm.
"Honor Zhang, you may not know that just three months ago, the Xiao family's caravan had already seen steam locomotives in Youzhou when they went to Youzhou to transport goods. The kind of caravan only needs to add coal to run on the railway. These are all seen by the caravans with their own eyes. It is said that the steam locomotive is twice as fast as a caravan."
"Oh, is there really such a thing? I wonder if the head of the Xiao family wants to go to Youzhou in one month?"
"Of course, Xiao is very interested in novel affairs."
"Okay, I'm better off going with you then."
Zhang Zhongjian decided to go and have a look with Xiao Xian. The reason for acting together was to strengthen security. Although they had commercial cooperation with Youzhou, who knew if they would encounter danger.
They are very clear about the attitudes of those in power and theirs. After all, they do not belong to any force. Simply put, they are disobeying discipline, so the situation requires caution.
Craftsmen in Youzhou Blacksmith Workshop are working hard to create new cars. In order to meet the needs of different customers, at least several prototypes will be displayed in one month.
