In the Mercedes-Benz automobile factory, Liu Yuan was driving a motorcycle happily.
This motorcycle is still very well made. The control is similar to that of later generations of motorcycles, and the speed is not bad. The key is that it is full of power. As soon as the accelerator is pressed, the speed immediately increases.
The only drawback is that it's a little floaty. The tires are too small, so I need to use bigger tires. I just drove it casually in the factory area, and the speed is not very fast. If the speed increases on the highway, then this small tire will Too dangerous.
After the motorcycle slowly parked, Ren Siheng, Duan Hai and others hurriedly gathered around, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Liu Jin was okay. He is now the chief minister of the cabinet, the emperor's right-hand man, and the cornerstone of the country, but he cannot make any mistakes. , otherwise they would not be responsible.
"Mr. Liu~"
¡°This motorcycle is generally well designed, but there are still areas that need improvement.¡±
Liu Jin stopped the motorcycle, pointed at the motorcycle and said.
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Liu~"
Ren Siheng, Duan Hai and others also said quickly.
"The biggest problem is the tire problem. Motorcycles and bicycles are different. The speed of bicycles is limited, so there is no problem in using smaller tires."
¡°But motorcycles are much faster and more powerful, so it¡¯s obviously not possible to use tires that are similar to bicycles.¡±
"This tire needs to be improved and made wider to increase friction with the ground. This will make it more stable and will not cause it to drift due to excessive speed, and it will also be safer."
Liu Jin pointed at the tire and said.
"Liu Gong, after listening to what you said, we realized that during the test, we always felt that this motorcycle was floaty and would easily fall when it went fast."
"We still couldn't figure out the situation. It turned out that the problem was with the tires."
When Ren Siheng heard this, he suddenly said as if he had a sudden enlightenment.
"Yes, when we were testing, we always felt that this was a bit too flimsy and very unsafe, but we still didn't understand the reason. We thought it was because our design was unreasonable, but the problem actually appeared on this."
Duan Hai also nodded and immediately wrote it down.
¡°When I turn around, I will have the tire replaced with a wider tire.¡±
"Actually, you guys who work on machinery should understand this truth." At this time suyi*ngwang.net Zhang Si
Liu Jin looked at them, thought for a while and said.
"They make cars, bicycles, and research engineering machinery. They should know this. The design in all other aspects is very good. Why do they leave this obvious mistake?"
"Is it because you want to flatter me?"
Soon, Liu Jin thought of a possibility. They might have deliberately left such a question for themselves to see. In this way, when he came over to look at it, he could give some advice and show his sense of existence.
Sure enough, it has been the same since ancient times. As long as you have power and resources in your hands, people will naturally come to flatter you, and they will make you feel comfortable.
"Mr. Liu, although we are engaged in machinery, we are far inferior to you, Mr. Liu. You are a disciple of an expert and know the past and present. Even if you have not learned these things, you can still see the problem at a glance."
"It really makes us admire you."
Duan Hai said with a smile.
"That's right~"
Liu Yuan was speechless immediately. He was indeed a flatterer.
After thinking for a while, he said: ¡°How much does this motorcycle cost, and how much do you plan to sell it for?¡±
"Mr. Liu, the production cost of this motorcycle is much cheaper than that of a car. It only costs more than thirty taels of silver. Our selling price is tentatively set at around one hundred and twenty taels of silver."
Duan Hai quickly replied.
"120 taels of silver?"
¡°It¡¯s not too expensive, but it¡¯s not cheap either. Ordinary people may need to work for a year or two before they can afford it.¡±
Liu Jin thought for a while and said.
In later generations, when motorcycles first entered the market, they were very expensive, and it might take ordinary people one or two years to work before they could afford a motorcycle. 强牺 suyingwang.net 读牺
In a country where the industry is relatively backward and in its infancy,bsp; In comparison, Ming Dynasty may really need tricycles more, especially in the vast rural areas of Ming Dynasty. Tricycles can replace horse-drawn carriages. Although horse-drawn carriages are also very comfortable to use, the power and limitations of horse-drawn carriages are also obvious.
Control the big one and control the owl. Motorcycles are also very useful in places with poor roads, such as the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan area, mountainous areas, hilly areas, etc. In these places, before roads were widely popularized, motorcycles were a very good means of transportation. In plain areas, traffic conditions are better.
This tricycle is even better, because it can not only carry people, but also transport a lot of things. It is very good whether it is transporting grain, sand and gravel, etc. It is very easy to carry several hundred kilograms, even In plain areas, it is no problem to transport more than a thousand kilograms. If the power is sufficient, it seems that it is also possible to transport two thousand kilograms at a time.
Therefore, we must produce to meet the needs of various places in Ming Dynasty
