Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 697: Budding of the auto industry

Lin's approach is to recruit magicians who already have a foundation in language and mathematics in the holy city. Perhaps in terms of loyalty, the newcomers recruited will not be as good as those cultivated by the two major forces, but how to manage talents, the two major forces are already familiar with it, so Lin Duo doesn't need to worry about it. Anyway, they must be more concerned about the matter of 'taking power' than anyone else.

This also led to the large-scale recruitment activities that caused a sensation in the holy city of Estali, as well as attracting all the talents in Lin's mathematics course who were unwilling to only develop in the field of pure mathematics.

Although the mathematical method construction of the spell model is also one of the application development directions of the mathematics class, there is no money to be made before the result is produced! As long as you join the automobile manufacturing and R & D center, you will have a fixed salary, and you can also exercise your thinking in using various mathematical methods. It can be said that at this stage, magicians who plan to continue to develop on the road of mathematics are the most suitable application fields.

Even though it is possible to occupy a place in a class with limited seats, it is not some 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. That opportunity is the more interesting part than the money stink.

People who have been taking math classes for almost a year are looking forward to proving that their studies are not useless. After all, since the beginning of the class, no one has been able to completely rebuild the spell model into a mathematical structure according to what someone did when he first attracted everyone to jump into the pit. But it's not that no one has tried it, it's just that those who have tried it will admit one thing, the road of mathematics has a long way to go.

This is not to say that the mathematical problems studied by the Automobile Manufacturing and R&D Center will be simpler than reconstructing the spell model. It's because what the center wants to do is something that has been verified as feasible. What the people who join have to do is to replace expensive materials with simple materials, standardize the work of magic with industrial methods, and then achieve the purpose of mass production. In short, copycat reverse engineering.

And to do this, it doesn't say what standard you have to meet to be considered qualified. In other words, there are no standards at all.

The experimental vehicle used to demonstrate the feasibility has already been completed, and it is set as the ultimate goal of 100%. Then even if the result of the research is only ten percent, it can be officially sold as a commodity. Anyway, the four wheels can turn, and people or goods can be pulled from one place to another.

It is even acceptable to say that some parts must use magic materials, and there are no ordinary materials to replace them for the time being. At most, after becoming a commodity, the price will increase.

Under such a premise, there are rich and skilled automobile manufacturing and R & D centers, and the mass production schedule will soon be put on the schedule.

The first model to be determined was not a simplified version of all ordinary materials that was no different from a carriage like the 1903 Ford Model A on Earth, as someone imagined, but a large truck that partially used magic materials.

The first batch of customers were not outsiders, but the two big bosses, Kawei Gong and Ruan Wenyue. 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 sell the car to takeaway, but I still use a horse-drawn carriage and a large number of civilians to transport it.

In order to be able to pull a large number of goods, the load and horsepower of the truck are not the indicators that ordinary materials can achieve at this stage. As for the engine that uses magic materials, it directly uses the research results of the silver-bearded dwarves, because it is already considered a mature technology.

Even the Silverbeard dwarves jumped in to help with the development. Led by veterans, the team responsible for manufacturing the engine is the group that is the fastest to learn new techniques among all the teams. The silver-bearded dwarves didn't work for nothing. In addition to receiving a salary, the research and modification of the various parts of the engine was the focus of their attention. For the sake of peaceful arming, they are not willing to give up any research opportunities on related topics.

Another part of the big truck that had to use magic materials was the chassis. The R&D center tried to study welding technology, and of course tried rivet structure technology, but the chassis built with the current materials and manufacturing technology, although it can be used on small vehicles for carrying people, it cannot support large vehicles. The load-bearing index of the truck.

The second type of vehicle is a special type of vehicle—a tank truck. Because the gasoline used by cars needs to be refined, it cannot be used directly by adding crude oil to the fuel tank, and gas stations have not yet spread all over the place. Therefore, whether it is a large truck fleet that transports raw materials, tankers need to follow them so that they can be refueled at any time; R&D centers also need to transport crude oil back to refineries 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 Lebap, but that is only because the goblins have uses for oil, so it is mined. It is not the only oil-producing area of ​​​​the Gwana Empire. There are also crude oil wells that can be extracted in the open air in the territory of Kavigong.

In the past, the place with black water was a dead zone where animals were not close and plants did not grow. The only use of black water that can be ignited is as a weapon of war. Therefore, as the Grand Duke of the Empire, Lord Kavi dealt with this natural resource in a blockade way. Only goblins who are keen on self-destruction have the courage to mine this poisonous and flammable demon water.

But when the use of crude oil was developed, the two bigwigs unanimously launched an operation to extract oil. Of course, Duke Kavi exploited the oil wells in his own territory, while Ruan Van Yue searched for relevant resources from areas outside the Gwana Empire, cooperated with the local lords and put them into exploitation.

Ruan Wenyue's idea is very simple, if the car must have oil to move, it is impossible for him to hand over this lifeblood to others. It's as if fighting a war depends on soldiers, but if the soldiers don't have food and grass, no matter how strong they are, they can't fight.

Lin can only admire this intuitive approach. The key to the automobile industry can be seen at a glance, and the energy business has been planted in the early stage. This vision is quite accurate.

The distillation equipment for oil refining is also built in the holy city of Estari. The reason why it is not located in the oil well area, and the crude oil is roughly processed to reduce the volume and weight, and then transported to the Holy City, is because any processing operation is carried out in a place out of sight, and if any problems arise, they cannot be solved immediately.

Lin had already made an agreement with the two big brothers that when the technology matured, they would start a new stove wherever they wanted, and just don't give up the manufacturing and R&D center in the holy city of Estali. After all, doing so can greatly reduce the waste generated during the transportation process. But in the early days, when the technology is still immature, the research and development area is still the focus.

That being said, the research is most afraid that there will be no results, but when the results come out, everyone wants to get a share. It would be fine if the automobile manufacturing and R&D center made a fortune in silence, but when the two delivery convoys of Ka Wei Gong and Ruan Van Yue made their debut, they immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

However, because in the early stage of development, there were many things that could not be resolved, so that the car could not 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 been almost resolved after the silver-bearded dwarves' various tests and replacement of more advanced magic materials. But after replacing it with ordinary materials, the research in this area is tantamount to starting from scratch.

In order to cope with possible failures on the road, drivers who drive vehicles must have basic machine knowledge, at least know how to repair, or replace damaged parts. That is to say, in the future, the driver must not only have a driver's license, but also an engineer with an auto repair license.

In addition to refueling, the planned gas station may also have the function of repairing cars, so as to replace the problem that there is no other place to repair cars except the R&D center at this stage.

In the actual experience, sometimes roadside breakdowns cannot be solved by drivers with simple maintenance knowledge. At this time, there are two methods that can be used. If the vehicle can still move, but the engine cannot be started, or the transmission system is damaged, you can use the same vehicle to tow the faulty vehicle. Maybe the speed will be slowed down, but the broken car can still be towed to the destination.

If the vehicle is damaged so that it cannot even be moved, it is impossible to scrap the vehicle on the spot. At this time, it is necessary to send a maintenance team from the R&D center to the place where the vehicle breaks down, and directly repair the vehicle in the field.

The frequency of vehicle breakdowns was quite frequent in the early stage, and even the front-line drivers and dispatched maintenance personnel were questioning whether it was necessary to use such a machine with low reliability~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The questioning also made the two big men who joined the car manufacturing business come to ask a magician who was almost out of the matter.

Lin didn't explain much, just made a simple statistical chart. The carrying efficiency and carrying cost of the old horse-drawn carriage, and largely regard the old method as zero risk; the carrying efficiency and carrying cost of the new vehicle, and then calculate its risk cost according to the existing failure situation. When the two sides are combined, looking at the unit transportation cost, the doubts of the bosses are directly thrown out of the sky.

The transportation energy of trucks is amazing. To transport the same amount of goods, the number of old-style horse-drawn carriages and civilians must be mobilized ten times, and it will take several times as much time. Not to mention the old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage mode of transportation, which is not entirely risk-free.

Secondly, every repair is actually a test of the results of manufacturing, and it will also become the focus of improvement for the next batch of vehicle manufacturing. The manufacturing process will improve, and the strength of the material using ordinary materials will also slowly increase with the accumulation of alloy technology and data. This point is most obvious from the analysis of fault records. The portion where non-artificial damage occurs tends to decrease over time.

So even if the front-line personnel complained, the people in charge of management only counted the transportation capacity, as long as their brains were not caught by the door panel, it was impossible to go back to the old way. In the case of internal digestion of the initial production capacity, the Automobile Manufacturing and R&D Center received the first external order. The ten trucks and one matching oil tanker ordered by branches other than Nguyen Van Viet of the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce.

The reason why this order was regarded as an external order was because under Ruan Wenyue's leadership, he beat his distant relatives hard. Without hesitation, without mercy, as if to clear up the grievances accumulated in the past at once.
