Chapter six hundred and ninety seventh auto industry sprout
Lin's approach is to recruit magicians within the Holy City who already have a foundation in P language and mathematics. Perhaps in terms of loyalty, the new people recruited will not be as good as those trained by the two major forces, but how to manage
Talent, the two major forces are already familiar with each other, so Lin Duo doesn't need to worry about it. Anyway, they must be more concerned about 'taking power' than anyone else.
This also led to a large-scale recruitment campaign that caused a sensation in the holy city of Estali, and attracted all the talents in Lin's mathematics courses who were unwilling to develop only in the field of pure mathematics.
Although the construction of mathematical methods for magic models is also one of the application development directions of mathematics courses, there is no money to be made before the results are obtained! As long as you join the Automobile Manufacturing and R&D Center, you will receive a fixed salary, and you can also train yourself to use various mathematical methods.
Idea. It can be said that at this stage, it is the most suitable application field for magicians who plan to continue to develop on the road of mathematics.
Even if you can get a seat in a classroom with limited seats, you are not a magician who is short of money. But who would think that money is too much? More importantly, what the R&D center provides is an opportunity to apply what you have learned. Compared with
Damn it, that opportunity is the more interesting part.
People who have been taking math classes for nearly a year are looking forward to proving that their studies are not useless. After all, so far, no one has been able to completely redo the spell model according to what someone did when they first attracted people to jump into the trap.
A mathematical construct. But it’s not that no one has tried it. It’s just that everyone who has tried it will admit one thing. The road to mathematics has a long way to go.
This does not mean that the mathematical problems studied by the Automobile Manufacturing and R&D Center will be simpler than reconstructing the magic model. But because what the center wants to do has been proven to be feasible. Those who join will have to do it.
The work is to replace expensive materials with simple materials, standardize the magic work with industrial methods, and then achieve the purpose of mass production. In short, copycat reverse engineering.
In order to do this, there is no standard that must be met to be considered qualified. In other words, there is no standard at all.
The experimental vehicle used to demonstrate the feasibility has already been completed, and it has been set as the ultimate goal of 100%. Then even if the research result is only 10%, it can be officially sold as a product. Anyway, the four wheels can turn and can turn people.
Or just transport the goods from one place to another.
It is even said that some parts must use magic materials, and ordinary materials cannot be found to replace them yet, which is acceptable. At most, the selling price will increase after becoming a commodity.
Under such a premise, there are automobile manufacturing and R&D centers with money and technology, and the schedule for mass production is quickly put on the schedule.
The first confirmed model was not, as someone imagined, a simplified version of Earth's Ford 1903 Model A that was no different from a horse-drawn carriage and was made of ordinary materials. Instead, it was a large truck partially made of magical materials.
The first batch of customers are not outsiders, they are the two big bosses Kawei Gong and Nguyen Van Viet. The purpose is also very simple. In order to transport the iron ore and other materials on their respective sites to the manufacturing and R&D center of the Holy City of Estali
.There is no reason to use the car to deliver food, but still use horse-drawn carriages and a large number of people to transport it.
In order to be able to pull a large amount of goods, the load capacity and horsepower of the truck are not indicators that can be achieved with ordinary materials at this stage. The engine using magic materials directly uses the research results of the Silverbeard dwarves, because it is already considered a mature technology.
Even the Silverbeard dwarves jumped in to assist in research and development. The group responsible for manufacturing the engine, led by veterans, was the group that quickly learned the new technology among all the groups. The Silverbeard dwarves did not work for nothing. In addition to receiving a salary,
The research and modification of various parts of the engine are their focus. For the sake of peaceful arms, they are not willing to give up any research opportunities on related topics.
Another part of the big truck that has to use magic materials is the chassis. The R&D center is trying to study welding technology, and of course it is also trying rivet structure technology, but it is built with the current materials and manufacturing technology.
Although the chassis can be used on small vehicles for carrying people, it cannot support the load-bearing indicators of large trucks.
The second type of vehicle built is a special vehicle - a tanker truck. Because the gasoline used in the car needs to be refined, crude oil cannot be used directly by adding it to the tank, and gas stations are not yet all over the land.
Therefore, whether it is a large truck fleet transporting raw materials, it needs a tanker truck to follow it for refueling at any time; the R&D center also needs to transport crude oil back to the refinery for processing.
Even though gasoline has to go through refining procedures, it is still cheaper than magic stone. It is known that the city where crude oil is produced is Lebapu, but that is only because goblins have uses for oil, so it is mined there. It is not Gwana.
The only oil-producing area in the empire. There are also crude oil wells that can be extracted in the open in the territory of Kawei Gong.
In the past, the place where black water was exposed was a dead zone where animals were not close and plants did not grow. The only use of black water that could be used to ignite fire was as a weapon of war. Therefore, as the Grand Duke of the Empire, Duke Kawei was very concerned about this natural
Resources are dealt with by blocking. Only goblins who are keen on self-destruction have the courage to mine this poisonous and flammable devil's water.
But when the uses of crude oil were developed, the two big guys started to exploit oil. Of course, Mr. Kawei exploited the oil wells in his own territory, while Nguyen Van Viet looked for related resources from areas outside the Gwana Empire.
, cooperate with local lords and invest in mining.
Ruan Wenyue's idea is very simple. If the car needs oil to move, he can't hand over this lifeline to others. It's like fighting a war with soldiers, but if the soldiers don't have food and grass, they can't fight no matter how strong they are.
.
Lin can only admire this intuitive approach. He could see the key points of the automobile industry at a glance, and started to plant his flag in the energy business at an early stage. This vision was quite accurate.
The distillation equipment for oil refining is also built in the Holy City of Estali. The reason why it is not located at the oil well site is that the crude oil is roughly processed to reduce the volume and weight and then transported to the Holy City because any processing operations are carried out out of sight.
, if a problem occurs it cannot be solved immediately.
Lin had already made an agreement with the two bosses that when the technology matured, they could start a new one wherever they wanted. Just don't give up the manufacturing and R&D center in the holy city of Estali. After all, doing so can make a big difference.
This greatly reduces the waste generated during transportation. However, in the early days, when the technology was not yet mature, the focus was still on research and development.
Having said that, the research is most afraid of being fruitless, but when the results come out, everyone wants a share of the pie. It would be fine if the automobile manufacturing and R&D center just made a fortune silently.
After the team's debut, it immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
However, there are many things that have not been resolved in the early stages of development, so the car cannot be sold directly to the market. One of the most troublesome difficulties is the problem of failure rate. The failure rate of parts made of magic materials has long been known among the Silverbeard Dwarves.
The various tests and the replacement of more advanced magic materials have almost solved the problem. But after replacing it with ordinary materials, the research in this area is equivalent to starting from scratch.
In order to cope with possible breakdowns on the road, drivers who drive vehicles must have basic machine knowledge, at least knowing how to repair or replace damaged parts. In other words, in the future, drivers must not only have a driving license, but also have
Automobile repair license engineer.
In addition to refueling, the planned gas station may also have the function of repairing cars, to replace the current problem that no other place except the R&D center has the ability to repair cars.
In actual use experience, sometimes roadside breakdowns cannot be solved by drivers with simple maintenance knowledge. In this case, there are two methods that can be used. If the vehicle can still move, the engine cannot start, or the transmission system is damaged.
That's it. At this time, you can use a companion vehicle to tow the disabled vehicle. The speed may be slower, but you can still tow the disabled vehicle to the destination.
If the vehicle is so damaged that it cannot even move, it is impossible to scrap the vehicle on the spot. In this case, a maintenance team needs to be sent from the R&D center to the location where the vehicle broke down and repair the vehicle directly in the wild.
Vehicle breakdowns were quite frequent in the early days, and even front-line drivers and dispatched maintenance personnel were questioning whether it was necessary to use such a machine with low reliability. Such doubts once made the two
A big boss who joined the automobile manufacturing industry came to ask a certain magician who was almost out of the equation.
Lin did not explain much, just made a simple statistical chart. The transportation efficiency and transportation cost of the old horse-drawn carriage, and regarded the old method as zero risk; the transportation efficiency and transportation cost of the new vehicle, and then based on
Calculate the risk cost of the existing failure situation. Once the two sides are totaled, looking at the unit transportation cost, the doubts of the bosses are immediately thrown out of the sky.
The transportation energy of trucks is so amazing. To transport the same amount of goods, the number of old-fashioned horse-drawn carriages and civilian laborers would be mobilized more than ten times, and the time consumed would also be several times longer. Not to mention that the transportation mode of old-fashioned horse-drawn carriages is not completely absent.
risk.
Secondly, every repair is actually testing the results of manufacturing, and will also become the focus of improvements in the next batch of vehicle manufacturing. The manufacturing process will improve, and the material strength of ordinary materials will also increase with the accumulation of alloy processes and data.
There is a slow improvement. This is most obvious from the analysis of fault records. There will be some non-human damage, which will tend to decrease as time goes by.
Therefore, even if the front-line personnel complain that the people in charge of management only count the transportation capacity, as long as their minds are not caught by the door panels, it is impossible to go back to the old path. In this situation of internal digestion of initial production capacity, automobile manufacturing
The R&D center received its first external order. It came from a branch of the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce, other than Nguyen Van Viet, for ten trucks and a supporting tank truck.
The reason why this order is regarded as an external order is because under the leadership of Ruan Van Viet, he gave his distant relative a hard blow. He did not hesitate and showed no mercy, as if he wanted to release all the grievances accumulated in the past at once. Clear.
