Chapter 838 The surging development of emerging industries
Some large -caliber artillery of the Army, with a few tons or even more than a dozen tons. These heavy artillery simply let the horses drag, and it is still very reluctant.
The horse is also barely.
And the tractor is very suitable.
In the past, the Army also used some steam tractors to drag and drag large -caliber heavy artillery. Now it is ready to use gasoline tractors.
As an emerging industry, the internal combustion engine industry has received many official support of the Great Empire, especially the support for taxation.
At the same time, the internal combustion engine industry does have good development potential, which has attracted a lot of capital investment. This is the creation of ultra -high -speed development.
However, the development of internal combustion engines is still much backward!
The application of electricity is actually very primitive. In the early days, it was mainly concentrated in communication, such as cable telegraphs, wireless telegrams.
In the past few years, it has been applied to industrial production, and many factories have begun to replace steam engines with electric motivation as production power.
Although there are electric lamps, although there are also, it is mainly concentrated in the military field, mainly used for internal lighting and visiting lights on warships. As for the large -scale popularization of civilian use, it cannot be done for the time being. The main reason is that the cost is too high.
However, in general, the application of electricity, especially in the production field, is very happy. This can be seen from the older power plants that are older and older.
However, there are also some electricity and equipment. For example, the tram, which was very valued at first, has been promoted for several years, but it has only been applied in some large cities. However
use.
The Daheng people have promoted trams for several years, and the speed of development is not as good as the kingdom of Cruch, the tram of trams ...
Why can't it be promoted?
The reason is one: loss!
Why do you lose money?
Because of the huge investment, there are not many passengers!
This involves a very special situation of the Daheng people, that is, the general population density of the city's general population is low!
Many cities of the Great Heng people belong to small cities or simply say that they are town. Many cities are small cities with thousands of people and tens of thousands of people. In this kind of place, they invest in huge investment in rail transit to lose you!
Only the large cities in the state and counties will there be a scale of more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of people, but even if it is the most populated city in the Daheng Empire, there are only 1.5 million people now.
In big cities, public transportation is actually very bad.
The reason is that the population density is too low!
The city's population density is low, which are traditional.
For hundreds of years, the rural economy of the Daheng people has been very developed. A large number of farmers have lived in rural areas, and they are rich.
Even if it is now.
A considerable number of middle -income groups in the Great Empire, in fact, live in rural areas, not in the city ...
Even in the city, you live in the suburbs. Generally, you do n’t pile up in the city center. Nowadays, people living in various so -called apartments in the city center are generally low -income groups!
The living habits of the Dayheng people, coupled with Daheng's land, are not very valuable, so the residential buildings in general cities are generally ordinary low -rise housing.
High -level apartment.
In this way, the population density in the city is very low.
At the same time, the horses of the Daheng people have a huge amount of horses, low prices of horses, and low breeding prices. Many families above the suburbs are horses.
The carriage is available. Many male owners go to work to ride a horse or drive a single horse carriage. The family travels with the male owner and take the family to travel together!
Many companies in the Great Empire generally have special horses, just to let employees park their horses!
In addition, there are many toll public horses!
Therefore, even if the area in the urban area is slightly larger, it will not affect the travel of the Daheng people. Otherwise, the Daheng people will not develop cities with too low population density.
This point is very different from many countries represented by the Kingdom of Cruch. In the big city of the Kingdom of Kruhle, you can see many high -rise buildings, but in the big cities of the Great Empire, you can actually see high -rise buildings.
building.
The high population density cities over the Kingdom of Cruch, the demand for public transportation is very large. There were many public carriages before, and then a carriage appeared.
As for now, in order to save costs, many cities have gradually replaced rail -up carriages with trams.
This directly led to the development of tram has developed extremely rapidly in the Kingdom of Cruch in the past two years.
The Cruch people started playing the subway even more than ten years ago, and gradually built a mature subway network.
And in the Daheng Empire, now the tram, and even the previous rail -up carriages are not developed, and only these public transportation will only have these large investment in large cities with more than hundreds of thousands of people.
There are basically only public carriages in ordinary cities.
As for the huge investment of the subway, Daheng people are too lazy to look at it ...
Because in the place of the Daheng Empire, even if it is engaged in a large city like Luohai City, the large urban area and the lower urban population density, do n’t say that you have lost to the uncle's house.
The family has gone to lose.
Therefore, it cost huge sums of money to dig tunnel underground, and then directly pull the train out as a public transportation inside the city. This behavior is almost unreasonable to the people of the Great Empire!
If there is such a demand in the big city, it is necessary to repair the railway directly!
Is it not fragrant to dig a woolen tunnel and lay the ground railway directly?
Therefore, there are trains in the city of the Daheng people, but they are all ground train, usually belonging to intercity train, and not a separate city train. It belongs to a part of the dense railway network of Daheng people.
Luo Haicheng has a dense intercity railway network, covering the surrounding suburban town. Many people live in a suburban town and take the intercity train to get off work.
Then connect to the public carriage system and the current tram system.
The two cooperate with each other to maintain the public transportation needs of the city with the largest population of the Great Empire of Luo Haicheng.
However, with the special urban structure of the Daheng people, in fact, no matter what public transportation system is, it is not very useful. There is no way. The urban area is large and the population density is low, which means that the investment cost is huge but the income is low.
Many situations have led to the unscrupulous public transportation system of the Great Empire, but this is a great benefit to the internal combustion engine industry, especially the future automotive industry!
