It's just that the automobile research project is still in the paper stage, because before that, Wu Xiuping still needs to do a lot of preliminary work.
He had already inspected the steel plant and found that the strength and toughness of the steel ingots and plates produced there were far from meeting his requirements, and the quenching process needed to be updated and strengthened.
In addition, there are many parts made of alloys, which also require a lot of testing. A car is composed of countless parts, and no one is missing. Therefore, its development work is considered to be starting from scratch, which is an important task.
It’s a long way to go.
Xiao Chen decided to fund a machinery manufacturing factory, so Wu Xiuping was responsible for planning the establishment. He did not participate in the specific management work, but only made suggestions and contributed money.
This is another extremely money-consuming project, and there will definitely be no profit in a short period of time. In fact, Xiao Chen does not want this project to make money, because its meaning is far more important than money.
"Brother Shuhei, when can you create it?" Ling'er's question is also everyone's question.
"It's hard to say. Maybe it will take ten years, maybe it will take twenty years. With our current casting and stamping processes, it is almost impossible to create a real car." Wu Xiuping said.
"Yeah!" Ling'er was greatly disappointed. Twenty years? How old am I then...
"But the interesting part of this world is here. Nothing is impossible." Wu Xiuping was panting heavily as he spoke, "As long as Xiao Chen has sufficient funds and I have enough manpower, I may be able to do it in less than five years.
, maybe."
"Five years is too long." Shangguan Qiji now spoke with a hint of Japanese accent, "Give you one year, one year from now, I will drive this kind of car, with
Qianye Ling takes a ride in the snow."
However, fat people are still romantic after all.
"But that car is going so fast, it will fill your belly with wind and make you breathless." Ling'er has unparalleled light skills, and his understanding of speed is above everyone else.
"I can't blow the wind. There is a windshield." Wu Xiuping said, "It's just that the glass manufacturing process is still in the perfection stage and mass production has not started. After a while, the window paper in our house will be replaced by glass to provide more lighting.
It’s nice and airtight.”
"What is glass?" Ling'er asked hurriedly.
"That's it." Wu Xiuping pointed to the lenses of his glasses, "Glass has many uses. It can not only make glasses, binoculars, mirrors..."
"What mirror?" Ling'er asked again.
"It's just a mirror, the kind that can reflect you." Wu Xiuping said, how could such a smart little girl be so stupid?
"I know!" Ling'er said loudly.
"I know you still ask?" Wu Xiuping was stunned.
"The mirror Shuhei mentioned is not the copper mirror we usually use, but is made of glass. One side of the glass is coated with mercury, and the image can be seen on the other side. It is much clearer than a copper mirror, and it does not need to be polished for a long time.
, it's just easy to break, but the cost is much lower than that of a bronze mirror." Xiao Chen said.
"When can it be produced?" Ling'er understood this time, but was a little anxious.
Several girls also looked at Wu Xiuping expectantly, saying how much girls love to look in the mirror.
"This has been made. The mirror is actually very simple... Hey, what are you doing? It's in the factory, where can it be found here? Can you do it tomorrow? Then let me eat two more bites of fish skin..." Wu Xiuping
Before he finished speaking, Ling'er forcibly took him away.
As the saying goes, if you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.
Xiao Chen invested heavily in the automobile research project without expecting anything in return, but the reward came on its own.
The economic benefits of glass have not yet been shown, but the mirror instantly conquered the women of Yanyun County. It soon spread to Dazhou, and became popular throughout the world in almost a year. This alone gave Xiao Chen
The economic income brought is an unimaginable astronomical figure.
Science is power, science is money. This sentence is an unbreakable truth no matter in ancient times or today.
But mirrors can be sold as commodities, but telescopes cannot, because their military value is much higher than their commercial value, and they are all delivered to the military after production.
Zhuge Xiaosheng and Dugulou were so happy. They unanimously suggested that Xiao Chen give the inventor a heavy reward. No amount of reward would be enough!
Boss, if you don't give him credit, then we have to give him special military merit. That's really awesome...
Is this really not invented by you, boss?
Kudo Nako got a sample and sent it back to Japan, but the Japanese people were ecstatic and discovered that this thing seemed simple, but it was very difficult to copy, even more difficult than a hot air balloon.
Because there are always a lot of annoying little bubbles in the concave and convex mirrors that can't be eliminated no matter what, which greatly affects the field of vision. It's so blurry that it's better to just look at it with your eyes!
I gave the order to Nako Kudo to obtain the top-secret manufacturing process of the telescope at any cost and by any means!
Kudo Nako is worried to death. These guys from Bagaya Road are really endless.
I've done a good enough job. If it weren't for me, you stupid intelligence officers might never be able to get a single telescope sample in your lifetime!
I got it in the fastest possible time. Not only did you not praise me, but you also asked me to complete such an unreasonable and impossible task. It was too bullying.
Your inability to create it is due to your incompetence. What does it have to do with me? I am a friendly envoy of Yanyun in Japan, not a secret spy!
Originally, I had a very, very good relationship with Xiao Chen and Qianye Ling, but now they seem to be very indifferent to me, which shows that they have begun to doubt me. If I do these things for you again, I am afraid that I will be in trouble in Changshan City.
There is no room for it anymore.
But the Japanese high-level officials were not unreasonable at all. They felt that Kudo Nako was just a tool and could be used however they wanted. As a tool, she was not qualified to negotiate terms with them.
But what can Kudo Nako do? Should she go to Qianye Ling again and ask her to ask Fatty for a blueprint for making a telescope?
Kudo Nako became seriously ill. She lay in bed with a high fever for three days. People with fever lost twice as much weight.
Qianye Ling came to see her and saw that she had a sad look on her face. She asked her what was wrong but she didn't say anything. He pulled the fat man over to help her see a doctor. The fat man said it was fine. It was just the change of season. He had caught a little cold and didn't need to eat at all.
Take the medicine and you'll be fine naturally in a few days.
But she seemed to have some kind of heart disease. This disease couldn't be cured by Fatty, so Xiao Chen had to come.
Xiao Chen came to visit in person and diagnosed the cause of the disease directly after taking a look at Kudo Nako's appearance, "What embarrassing task did they give you again? Are they going to kill me? I'm right here. If you
If you can get up, please do it."
Kudo Nako burst into tears.
How much grievances I feel in my heart can’t be vented without crying!
