The Rise of Australia

"Your Highness, please forgive me for making arbitrary decisions." Benz said to Arthur with an apologetic look.

"No, Mr. Benz. You have done a good job in this matter. This is what I have told you before. After meeting the cost requirements of the car, you have the right to start mass production." Arthur shook his head. , said with a smile: "So you didn't do anything wrong, and I will never blame you."

After hearing what Arthur said, Benz and Diesel breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.

"Let's go and take a look at our new car." Arthur said with a slight smile, looking at the two people who were obviously relaxed.

Under the leadership of Benz and Diesel, Arthur and the rest of the group arrived at the warehouse of the Benz Automobile Factory, which is the building on the right side of the automobile factory.

After the employee opened a warehouse door, Benz stepped forward, uncovered the black cloth covering the car, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please see, this is the new car we produced, the basic shape and structure are the same as yours It’s similar to a car, but using cheaper materials for some parts, which has ensured that the cost is around eighty pounds, basically no more than eighty-five pounds.”

Arthur looked at the black body and tires exposed under the black cloth, nodded, and asked: "How is the performance of such a car? Don't just care about the price and ignore the performance of the car. This is also an important factor related to the automobile market. condition."

"Please rest assured about this, Your Highness. Although we use cheaper materials in some aspects, it will not affect the sturdiness, practicality and specific performance of the car itself. It is just that compared with your private car, the glass The materials, body materials and engine models are all different, and the performance will be slightly worse. But if we look at the world's cars, in terms of performance, our cars are still first-class or even top-notch." Benz explained .

Although this new car is very different from Arthur's customized car, many of the materials are made of cheaper materials.

But this does not mean that the performance of new cars will become poor. On the contrary, even if a lot of cheaper materials are used, the performance of new cars is still top-notch in the world's automobile market. Whether in terms of practicality or performance, the cars of Benz Automobile Factory are definitely first-class.

"That's good." Arthur nodded and asked, "What is the specific performance of the new car? What is the expected price?"

Benz handed over a data sheet and said eagerly: "Based on our many tests, the new car is a relatively stable car with a very high cost performance. The specific experimental data is already in the data. , please take a look at it, Your Highness.”

Arthur took the information and looked at it curiously.

At this stage, the testing of automobiles is relatively simple and can be roughly divided into several modules such as maximum speed test, uniform speed stability test, vehicle stability test and vehicle failure rate test on different road sections.

In terms of maximum speed, the new car uses the latest gasoline engine developed by Benz and Diesel instead of a diesel engine.

The gasoline engine has an advantage, that is, the noise is significantly smaller, which is more conducive to people's normal use.

Of course, it is not impossible for diesel engines to use more materials to reduce engine noise, but this will greatly increase the cost of the car. Only privately customized vehicles for high-ranking officials and nobles like Arthur would do this.

When five people are seated, the maximum speed of the new car can reach 55 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed of the empty car can reach 65 kilometers per hour.

In terms of speed, new cars are already considered excellent. At least except for Arthur's customized vehicles, there are definitely less than five cars in the world that can reach a maximum speed of more than 65 kilometers per hour.

In terms of constant speed testing, the new car can drive stably at a speed of 35 kilometers per hour for more than ten hours, or at the maximum speed for more than three hours.

Arthur was already satisfied with this aspect. At least new cars can drive at a speed of about 35 kilometers per hour for more than ten hours without any problems.

Although driving at the maximum speed for more than three hours may cause a malfunction, there should be no fool who buys a car and then drives it at the maximum speed, right?

After all, the price of a car reaches one hundred and fifty pounds, which is the savings of many civilians for several years even in Europe.

Even if the price has been lowered, a car is still considered a luxury product. Unless there is really too much money to spend, no one will destroy something that is hard to get.

Of course, there is also a very important premise, that is, these tests are currently conducted on very flat roads.

Cars at this stage cannot withstand bumpy roads or other places where roads have not been built.

If you are driving in an area with poor road conditions, the stability of the car will be greatly reduced, and problems may even occur from time to time.

However, there is no need to worry about this issue for the time being. At this stage, cars are still a luxury product, and the real customers of cars are only Europeans and Americans.

Of course, with Australia's construction and various policies, Oceanians can also join in and become potential customers of the car.

Whether it is America, Europe or Oceania, they already have extremely developed transportation systems, with flat roads extending in all directions, so there is no need to worry about road problems at all.

Or, like Australia and New Zealand, although they do not have such a developed highway system, they are already under construction.

Flat roads have been built between cities in Australia, and are also developing into towns and rural areas.

If people in Australia buy a car, they don't have to worry about roads. Because the Australian government will build roads extending in all directions before they buy a car.

It's not that Arthur doesn't want to consider people in other areas. But judging from the income levels of people in other areas, most people may have to accumulate decades of income if they want to buy a car.

There may be some dignitaries who are interested in cars, but their purchasing potential is definitely not as good as the current Europeans and Americans.

Sure enough, in the last stability test on various road sections, although the new cars performed better than other cars, they were still similar to cars of this era, with poor stability and high failure rates.

But there's nothing that can be done about it. Aren't all the cars with extremely excellent performance in later generations also developed like that step by step with today's cars?

At least for now, Arthur is initially satisfied with having a new car with relatively good performance.
