Benz Automobile Factory in Beijing South District.
The Mercedes-Benz automobile factory has now become the largest factory in the entire Beijing-Tianjin region, and can even be said to be the largest factory in the entire Ming Dynasty, covering a very large area.
There are many large and small factories and workshops, which are divided into production teams. The production workshops themselves can produce thousands of parts, and at the same time, they outsource tens of thousands of parts to various machines of all sizes.
Processing plant.
The automobile manufacturing industry is a huge industry, involving tens of thousands of parts and components. It requires a large number of parts suppliers and itself requires a large number of production workshops.
In the huge Mercedes-Benz automobile factory, there are many vehicles transporting parts and components, and every production workshop is extremely busy.
Mercedes-Benz has become very popular since its advent. Its high price has not affected its popularity. It is not only very popular in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the vassal states, vassal states and colonies of the Ming Dynasty. Even in Europe, the Ottoman Empire
The Empire, the Persian Empire, Egypt and other places also exported a large amount of talents.
In just two years, the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory also opened branch factories in Tianjin, Songhu, Guangzhou and other places. The current production capacity has reached a huge annual output of 300,000 vehicles of various types.
Not only expensive Mercedes-Benz cars, but also Mercedes-Benz vans, trucks, transport vehicles and buses are now produced, and they are also very popular and sell very well.
Due to quality issues, other brands of cars are cheaper than Mercedes-Benz cars, but their sales volume is far lower than that of Mercedes-Benz cars. Of course, there is no way to compare in terms of production volume.
In addition to Mercedes-Benz cars, the production volume of BMW cars, which is now relatively famous, has only just exceeded 10,000 units a year, and there are many quality problems and customer satisfaction is extremely low.
Mercedes-Benz automobiles focus on the production and research of various automobiles, while Jingcheng Machinery Factory specializes in the production of various machinery. The emerging engineering machinery is jointly produced by Jingcheng Machinery Factory and Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory.
Excavators, bulldozers, forklifts, road rollers, mixers, etc., all kinds of engineering machines are also very popular now. They are very efficient in doing projects and are loved by everyone.
In addition to cars, the Mercedes-Benz Automobile Factory has not left behind its old bicycle business. It is still the largest bicycle manufacturer in Ming Dynasty and can produce millions of bicycles every year.
The entire Mercedes-Benz factory has branches of various sizes, more than 35 production bases, hundreds of production workshops of various sizes, and employs more than 200,000 workers. It is definitely a huge factory.
Industrial empire.
And it is definitely the most powerful factory in Ming Dynasty. It uses a variety of machine tools, mechanical equipment, forging, casting equipment, and assembly line production models. It adopts the more mature 5S management production model of later generations, not only
Efficient and quality is fully guaranteed.
The various cars and bicycles produced are of high quality and are highly trusted and liked by consumers. Even though the price is much higher than other brands, people are still willing to buy Mercedes-Benz products, which are sold all over the world.
Sitting in the car, looking at the entire factory area through the glass, the factory area is kept very clean and the order is very good. The huge factory is managed without chaos, and everyone performs their duties to run this huge factory.
"It's really not easy. It's really not easy for such a giant to be born in such an era."
Liu Jin was also sighing in his heart.
Thinking about future generations, large-scale automobile manufacturing was only gradually realized after the 21st century. It was impossible to realize it when the reform and opening up just started.
There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is that there were too many illiterates at that time and without universal education, it was almost impossible to achieve large-scale industrial manufacturing and production, especially automobile manufacturing.
of.
You can't expect a group of people who are uneducated, don't even know the alphabet, don't even understand various unit standards, mathematics, etc., to engage in standardized industrial production.
Only when basic education is well established and a large number of symbols and knowledge are popularized can industrialization be gradually realized, just like this huge factory in front of us.
The workers there are basically trained by new education. They understand basic knowledge and common sense, and can receive training and learning of re-employment techniques and skills, so they can become qualified automobile industry workers.
If you want to train someone without any education to become a qualified automobile industry worker, it is very difficult.
The Ming Dynasty's industry can develop rapidly, and various technologies continue to emerge. This is inseparable from Liu Jin's early layout of basic education. Without the new education to popularize basic knowledge, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to have such a development.
Rapid development momentum.
You must know that Europe took hundreds of years to go from the steam engine to the internal combustion engine, but the Ming Dynasty only took a dozen years to go through the path that others took hundreds of years.
This is of course related to the strong market and funds of Ming Dynasty itself, but more importantly, the importance of basic education, because basic education cultivated a large number of new talents, popularized and promoted knowledge, and also gave birth to a large number of scientific and mechanical science and technology.
Genius promoted the development of industry and science and technology in Ming Dynasty.
Only with talents can we have the rapidly developing technology and industry, and the Ming Dynasty can achieve its current prosperity.
From just one factory, you can see the entire Ming Dynasty. Such huge factories, mainly manufacturing cars, would only gradually appear on this land in the 21st century.
Although the technology is not as good as that of later generations, and the cars produced are not as beautiful, good-looking, and powerful as those of later generations, the current Mercedes-Benz car factory represents the most advanced industrial manufacturing level in the world.
Liu Jin's car stopped at a factory.
"Mr. Liu!"
Ren Siheng, Duan Hai, Lu Qing and others stood beside the car to welcome him.
"Um!"
"Let's go and see the motorcycles."
Liu Jin nodded and took the lead to walk inside.
Although motorcycles are not as good as cars, they are of extraordinary significance to today's Ming Dynasty.
The price of cars is still too expensive now. Even cars of other brands are generally sold for around a thousand taels of silver. At this price, it is difficult for ordinary people to afford them.
So you can only buy a bicycle, but a bicycle also has limitations. Its load capacity is too small, and it is also very inconvenient when going uphill and downhill. It requires manpower to pedal, and its speed is limited.
If we could make a motorcycle that was between a bicycle and a car, it would be quite good for the ordinary people of Ming Dynasty.
The load capacity of motorcycles is relatively large, and it is no problem to load several hundred kilograms at a time. The speed is also fast enough, and it is very flexible and convenient.
The adaptability is very wide. Even if it is not on a cement road, in some hills and mountainous areas, the motorcycle can still adapt well to new conditions.
For many remote areas, motorcycles are more useful than cars, because the roads in many places are still very primitive and cars may not be able to pass, but motorcycles can travel very well.
The price of motorcycles is somewhere between that of bicycles and cars, and it is acceptable to ordinary people. It is still affordable if they grit their teeth.
"Mr. Liu, this is the motorcycle we produced!"
Soon, I came to the workshop. There were more than ten newly produced motorcycles in the workshop. Look at these motorcycles, they are still very primitive. They are incomparable with the motorcycles of later generations. They even look more like
Bicycle, but there is no doubt that this is a motorcycle, there is no mistaking it.
"Mr. Liu!"
"In order to develop this motorcycle, we also specially developed this small V-shaped engine, which can provide this motorcycle with a strong power of 1 horsepower."
"In addition, in terms of control, we also set up several gears just like a car, and adjust the gears by stepping on the left foot. On the right hand side, we set the accelerator, and you can increase the accelerator by gently turning it.
Improve power output.”
Duan Hai began to introduce the design and control of motorcycles to Liu Jin in detail.
Liu Jin listened carefully and looked carefully at the motorcycle in front of him. The structure was roughly the same as that of later generations of motorcycles. The engine and fuel tank were placed in the middle and front, and it was driven by a chain rear drive. The throttle and control were the same.
The starting method is to start by stepping on the foot.
The difference is that the tires are not big enough, the seats are still primitive, not comfortable and spacious enough, and the overall look is not beautiful and ugly.
"Let me try~"
After Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but say.
"Liu Gong, Liu Gong~"
"This motorcycle is no better than a car. People who don't know how to drive may fall down."
When Duan Hai, Ren Siheng and others heard this, they immediately became anxious and quickly persuaded him.
"It's just a motorcycle, there's nothing it can't do."
Liu Jincai ignored them, came to a motorcycle, sat on it directly, stepped on it hard to start, and then turned the accelerator, and the motorcycle suddenly hummed.
"Not bad, not bad, the sound is very exciting!"
"Then press the gear, slowly release the clutch, and the motorcycle will slowly start to move."
Duan Hai, Ren Siheng and others were dumbfounded when they saw Liu Jin's familiar driving of a motorcycle. You must know that even the people in their factory will be somewhat clumsy when driving this motorcycle for the first time. It is inevitable that
Unfortunately, many people even think that there is no market for this motorcycle at all.
Driving is difficult, even harder than driving a car. Who would buy this motorcycle?
I didn't expect Liu Jin to be able to drive so smoothly when he drove a motorcycle for the first time, which was also shocking.
