Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1937: The age of the car is coming
This is also why the theory of internal combustion engines has been perfected, but even the development of gasoline engines is still difficult.
It's not that it can't be designed, it's that it can't be built!
However, the investment in gasoline engine projects is very large today, many tests are carried out at the same time, and even huge sums of money are invested in supporting research. According to the prediction of the project team, the preliminary test can be completed within half a year, and the laboratory-made one should be able to be produced within two years. Engineering prototype.
As for mass production, this has nothing to do with the Royal Institute of Technology.
The Royal Institute of Technology has always studied the most cutting-edge science and technology. As for how to popularize these technologies, it has nothing to do with them. That is what external companies should do.
But for gasoline engines, Li Xuan estimates that ordinary companies can't afford it. Look at the high requirements for many new materials and manufacturing processes in gasoline engine projects in this report. If companies want to do it, they must first build ten eight As for the materials and processing plants at home, and they all belong to the most advanced level, the investment can be huge.
Li Xuan can probably know just by looking at it. If this gasoline engine is really produced, even if the cost is not considered, if it is to be mass-produced, it is estimated that millions or even tens of millions will have to be spent for industrial support.
This thing is even more difficult than the steam engine of the past!
With such a huge investment, it is estimated that private capital is difficult to support, and this kind of thing can only be done by state-owned or imperial capital.
For this reason, he called in people from the State-owned Enterprises Department and the Royal Assets Department one after another, and asked them to pay attention to the progress and needs of the gasoline engine project, and to prepare supporting facilities in advance.
"When the gasoline engine comes out, I want to see the related products as soon as possible!"
"It is time to start relevant research, especially related products that apply gasoline engines!"
"Especially automobiles, vehicles powered by gasoline engines to carry people or loads, this is the key to the practical application of gasoline engines!"
"If you can use the light power of gasoline engines to design and manufacture engineering vehicles for transporting goods or other functions, it will play a major role in promoting many constructions of the empire."
Although the research and development of this gasoline engine is a bit difficult, according to the current progress, there is still hope for it to be developed within two years. Even if the performance is a bit **** by then, Li Xuan is still ready to develop a car.
First, it will shock the world, and then it will be able to promote the progress of the entire industry.
Even Li Xuan plans to advertise this car in person at that time, driving or riding the first car in person.
As long as he does this, the monarchy and feudal system of the Tang Dynasty is enough to reflect the importance he attaches to automobiles, and then a large number of officials at the bottom will pay more attention to the automobile industry.
However, what Li Xuan attaches great importance to is not private cars. Li Xuan attaches importance to gasoline engine-powered trucks, construction vehicles and other mechanical products.
Because private cars are purely private consumer goods, they can certainly drive the consumer market and promote the development of the auto industry.
But for the current Datang, trucks and other construction machinery used for transportation and construction are more important.
Because the latter can greatly promote the various infrastructure constructions of Datang.
What's more, the private car, because of the expensive construction and use costs, can only be a luxury in a short period of time, and ordinary people cannot afford it. The market is not big enough, and it is difficult to support the entire huge car. industry.
However, trains and construction machinery are different. These things are now desperately desired by the entire Tang Dynasty.
Haven't you seen the bulky, complicated, and troublesome steam tractors that are in short supply?
In the field of transportation, construction and even the military, the demand for trucks and construction machinery is extremely huge, and they can also bear high prices.
This is the best way to promote the development of the auto industry in the short term.
As for the car for private consumption, it is enough to go with the market. When there is a demand in the market, someone will naturally buy it, and Li Xuan does not need to push it deliberately.
After Li Xuan summoned the heads of the State-owned Enterprise Department and the Royal Assets Section in terms of machinery, the State-owned Enterprises Department and the Royal Assets Department both took action.
First of all, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, several of its subordinate machinery companies jointly invested in technology and talents, etc., established Songjiang Construction Machinery Company, and the first batch of investment reached 500,000 Tang Yuan.
The Royal Assets Section also transferred funds to establish the Zhongyuan Automobile Company.
The focus of the two sides is also different. Songjiang Construction Machinery Company is mainly preparing to develop various mechanical equipment using gasoline engines, while Zhongyuan Automobile Company is preparing to engage in gasoline vehicles for transporting goods, such as gasoline tractors, and Li Xuan himself. Proposed petrol wheeled van.
After the establishment of the Zhongyuan Automobile Company, the management and technical backbones who were transferred from other companies by the Royal Assets Department put into intensive work.
The first step is naturally to introduce the patent licensing of gasoline engines from the Royal Institute of Technology. Without this patent, they could not develop gasoline engines at all.
To this end, they adopted the model of early investment, joint research and development, and sharing of research and development results, which also allowed the gasoline engine project team of the Internal Combustion Engine Laboratory to obtain sufficient funds.
Only with sufficient funds can more sub-project research and experiments be carried out at the same time, so as to speed up the progress.
However, this is only the most basic preparation, and Zhongyuan Automobile Company still needs to establish many supporting facilities on its own.
The designers of their company quickly came up with the preliminary design of the gasoline truck based on the existing horse and carriage.
But this is just an appearance, and then they found that the car is not easy to handle. They don't need to worry about the development of gasoline engines, but they need to do the other major components themselves.
For example, they need to design a special control system. In the past, when the carriage was turned, the groom could directly push the horse to turn, but the car had to be controlled by a human.
Then there is the transmission system~www.wuxiaspot.com~, and the power of the gasoline engine is transmitted to the wheels, which is also a hassle.
Not to mention that you have to control the speed. You can't immediately run out of the gasoline engine as soon as the gasoline engine is started.
In the end, they also found that if the gasoline engine and various parts of the transmission system are assembled, the weight of the vehicle will increase greatly. The supporting structure cannot be made of wood, because it cannot support it, so it has to be replaced with steel.
In terms of wheels, most of the carriages now use wooden wheels, and only a few use solid rubber wheels with iron frames wrapped in rubber.
But this thing is still not very easy to use. After they searched for many new technologies on the market, they found that there is a company in Anqing that produces pneumatic tires.
But because the air leakage is serious, and the price is expensive, the sales volume is not good, and the speed of the carriage is also slow these days, so solid rubber tires can also be used.
However, Zhongyuan Automobile Company saw the wheel solution from this pneumatic tire, and bought the wheel company directly.
And then continue to invest in developing better pneumatic tires.
However, even if Zhongyuan Automobile Company and Songjiang Construction Machinery Company invested heavily one after another, not many people in the outside world know that they will usher in the era of automobiles in a few years!
