Chapter 1756 The assembly line and the Ford Model T
"It turns out that Ling'er and Chen Yuanyuan have such a relationship... I hope it won't affect their respective futures in the future." Salina was a little surprised after hearing this.
"Ling'er is about ten years younger than Chen Yuanyuan, and it is normal to be rejected. Chen Yuanyuan is a great beauty, but unfortunately if she is about the same age as Ling'er, maybe she would accept Ling'er." Ella said.
"Does Lord Chu know about this?" Salina asked.
"Of course I know, but he doesn't care much about these things."
"Chen Yuanyuan is a good girl. She has several patents in the laboratory, and my husband's factory also needs to rely on her talents." Salina felt a little regretful.
Indeed, Chen Yuanyuan is nearly ten years older than Ling'er after all, which is a very difficult thing for people to accept. Even if Ling'er intends, Chen Yuanyuan has no choice but to refuse.
Chu Yun watched his children grow up with his own eyes. He did not appear in the attic chat, but conducted the final inspection before the International Expo began.
During this period, he finally accumulated enough civilization points. He used the Industrial Revolution system to start the industrial assembly line technology and Ford Model T-car technology in the Second Industrial Revolution, summoned Ford, the founder of Ford and his team to create a car kingdom for Chu Yun.
The emergence of industrial assembly line technology and the emergence of Model T-cars is definitely one of the influential events in the history of industrial history. Large-scale operation of assembly lines is replaced by traditional individual hand-made work, and the low price makes cars as a practical tool that ordinary families can afford, and a country on a wheel is about to rise. Of course, the ordinary families here are not real civilians, but in a sense the "middle class". Compared with the fact that only the richest families could afford when cars first appeared, Model T-cars have reduced the price of cars by a level.
Ford's team has been summoned to this world for only more than a year. It has just been equipped with a car assembly line and has produced 1,500 T-shaped convertible station wagons for half a year. This is because the oil reserves and market demand are not high, and the production is consciously controlled.
"We used a large number of general-purpose components for large-scale assembly line assembly operations, which greatly shortened the time for producing cars, such as the production time of the chassis to one-seventh of the original. The front four-cylinder engine of this car can provide 20 horsepower and a speed of up to 72 kilometers per hour." Ford took Chu Yun to visit the new automobile manufacturing plant.
After Chu Yun summoned the Ford team, the whole vehicle production was split from the engine manufacturing factory and a special automobile manufacturing factory was established.
The Ford team is the one summoned by Chu Yun, so the factory they formed is also a state-owned asset. It is impossible to become a private car giant anymore, and it is just helping to achieve flow and production of Model T-cars.
Chu Yun has many technologies to open, and it is impossible to focus all his energy on cars. In the future, automobile improvement and production will probably depend on local governments. He is only responsible for opening some key technologies.
At this time, hundreds of T-shaped cars that had not yet been put into the market were parked in the automobile manufacturing plant.
Chu Yun looked over at a glance and saw that every Model T-car and every part were brand new and shiny.
The T-shaped car looks a bit like the classic car in the black and white videos Chu Yun has seen before, and it looks a little bit. As for streamlined cars, it will only be considered as a more fashionable appearance after cars begin to become popular and meet basic travel needs.
"The convertible station wagon may not be hidden enough, so we specially produced 5 closed cars with glass and steel plate doors for the military master's mansion." Ford took Chu Yun to see 5 more novel cars, which are basically the engines and parts of the T-shaped car, but there are some differences between the body and the chassis.
Chu Yun sat in a closed car specially produced for some important figures not to attract onlookers or assassination.
There is no window lifter yet, so you can manually pull the glass window open.
This is very close to the car that Chu Yun remembers!
Chu Yun simply learned how to operate the new car, and walked around the wasteland in front of the automobile manufacturing plant before stopping, and was very satisfied with the new car.
Chu Yun can feel the joy of driving for a car with a speed of up to 72 kilometers per hour.
However, at the beginning of the automobile industry, the biggest project was to build wide and flat highways. It was time-consuming. Chu Yun didn't know how many kilometers of cement roads he could build in his lifetime. He felt a little bit like Zhan Tianyou's mood. The time spent on building roads and railways was calculated based on the years...
"Are you satisfied with the cars we produce?" Ford asked flatteringly.
He is a person summoned by the system and needs to obey Chu Yun's words and serve him until his life ends.
Chu Yun still doesn't know what the purpose of the system exists, but just pushes civilized technology to the highest level possible to the best of his ability.
"This kind of car is very good and looks very practical. Its positioning is to produce in large quantities and popularize cars in the fastest time. Find ways to continue to reduce costs and wait until various large cities popularize cars before studying more trendy cars." Chu Yun intends to let Ford and others focus on improving assembly lines and producing Model T-cars at lower costs.
There is a process for the popularization of any industrial technology. First, it proposes the feasibility of theoretical practices, and then there are expensive experimental products, and then try to reduce production costs, produce products in large quantities, promote and popularize them, and develop the next generation of new products after popularization. This also takes time.
Chu Yun came out of the automobile manufacturing plant and he was already sitting on the Model T-car specially produced for him. Behind him, a team of guards also drove the Model T-car to protect him.
Chu Yun planned to drive around the capital and check the final preparations before the World Expo.
The capital city has become spacious main roads, lined by prosperous shops, and convertible Model T-cars have begun to appear on the roads, as well as older cars produced by Daimler before.
2,000 four-wheeled cars have been put into use in the Gyeonggi area!
"A new era is coming."
Chu Yun saw other T-cars and three-wheeled cars passing by the Model T-car he was driving. This city has already seen a hint of industrial age.
In the suburbs of the city, the chimneys of many factories are emitting black smoke, and some construction sites are under construction, and Modern Buildings are about to rise up.
Almost everything that should be prepared is ready. Although higher-level technologies may not appear until the Second World Expo, the current technologies are enough to shock people of this era.
Chu Yun murmured: "I don't know where the envoys from various countries have gone."
