Chapter 7 Conquer the Blue Sky

When they arrived at the automation lab, old Huntelaar finally understood what John meant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The assembly line is still in the process of intensive development and has not been completely successful, but with John's reminder and Ford's efforts, it can be said that it has begun to take shape. So when the old Huntelaar saw the workers repeating one simple action after another, and listened to Ford's enthusiastic explanation, he immediately understood.

"If you increase efficiency, you can reduce costs!"

After taking a deep breath, John smiled slightly: "Mr. Ford assured me that the first car production line will start production early next year, and the second car that we independently designed will also be finalized at that time!" So if nothing else, I think next year should be when the automotive industry really starts to take off! ”

Compared to history, it was a few years earlier.

After coming up with many technologies such as sulfonamides and radios in advance, John didn't care about it. Because of his appearance, the development of the automobile industry has indeed reached a node. In terms of technology, the engine, steering wheel, tires, lights, etc. are improved in advance; In terms of scale, the annual production of cars in Europe is now close to 20,000, and there are thousands in North America, and the only thing that prevents its popularity is price. So in John's view, what is lacking is just an assembly line. Once the cost of the car is reduced to a level, it is bound to set off a vigorous storm in this world!

And......

After taking a deep breath, John chuckled and said, "Grandpa, assembly line technology can not only be used in the automobile industry......"

……

For the next few days, the elder Huntelaar seemed to be in a science fiction world.

At Tesla Labs, the elder Huntelaar saw the latest information dissemination system. With the advent of tubes, Tesla Labs has dramatically improved the performance and quality of its radios. It is conceivable that as long as these technologies are thrown out, they will inevitably bring huge benefits to the Huntelaar wireless communication company - just like the upgraded versions of electronic products in the future, who will not upgrade with a little money?

And more importantly, the wireless broadcasting system has really been developed!

Tesla Labs has built a small wireless broadcasting system that emits "sound" into the air for the first time! And almost at the same time, they developed the world's first commercial radio based on Mr. Huntelaar's prompts. Despite its large size and rudimentary humildness, old Huntelaar was stunned and stunned when he listened to a waltz from it......

At the Huntelaar Watch Company, the elder Huntlaar saw the world's first watch.

Instead of hanging on a rope and carrying it in his arms, such a clock may not seem gentlemanly enough to be accepted by mainstream society. But after John's explanation, he soon discovered the great advantage of the watch - in some special occasions, such as the battlefield, this extremely convenient timepiece would definitely be a big hit.

Regarding the old man's judgment, John was very calm.

Of course, he knew that with the development of society and technology, the pocket watch would eventually end up in the grave or become the favorite of some collectors. And with the improvement of the manufacturing process, coupled with the continuous injection of various so-called "fashion" elements, the watch will soon replace the pocket watch and become the weapon of the upper class gentlemen......

At Huntelaar Films, Huntelaar Sr. meets John's birthday present for the little princess of the Carnegie family.

The gift promised at the other party's birthday party last year, John is a complete failure to make an appointment. He underestimated the difficulty of making cartoons, and at the same time overestimated the efficiency of his subordinates. It wasn't until the end of August that the animated short, named Teddy Bear, was barely finished. The animation of less than three minutes, because John kept improving and constantly improving the production technology, spent a "huge amount of money" of 60,000 US dollars!

So when old Huntelaar saw a cute bear moving alive, and making movements of eating, drinking, walking, and selling cuteness, his eyes almost popped out! Then he was very sure that although the gift was a few months late, if it was sent to the Carnegie family, the little princess would definitely not care about being late......

And then ......

The elder Huntelaar was in a chemistry lab and saw the plastic that had just been invented, a very strange solid. In John's words, this lightweight, hard, and very malleable will make it a new material for a large number of applications in everyday products and industry.

The only thing John regrets is that the ammonia synthesis process has not yet been perfected.

In fact, for other people in this era, the ammonia synthesis process of the Huntelaar Chemical Laboratory is already very good, and if it is thrown out, it will inevitably cause a huge sensation. However, in John's eyes, it is not perfect enough, for example, the conversion rate is too low, the cost is too high, etc., and it will take some time to improve. So in the chemistry lab, John didn't introduce the new technology to his grandfather, but planned to wait until next year when it was perfected. In order to ensure this, John even invested another 100,000 dollars in research funds for the chemistry laboratory, asking them to speed up the speed at any cost......

On the last day of the tour, John left his grandfather with the most amazing invention.

In addition to old Huntelaar came with John, as well as his wife Anna. In order to serve the old man and his wife well, John brought his housekeeper and a few maids, plus dozens of bodyguards. The huge team arrived in a clearing on the outskirts of New York in more than a dozen cars.

"Huh?"

As soon as he got out of the car, old Huntelaar let out a surprised question.

Their car, parked in front of a large house. The big house seemed to be a factory, and old Huntelaar was standing at the door of the open door. Beyond the big house, there is a two-hundred-meter-long concrete road, which connects another one, which looks like a thousand meters at most. And in the opinion of old Huntelaar, the second cement road is really a bit strange, not to mention that the two ends are not open, and the width of about twenty meters is too exaggerated!

So the old man pointed to the road and said, "John, what kind of fame have you made?" In the wilderness, such a big house was built, and there was this road...... Why is it just like this? What is it for? ”

"Hehe, don't worry."

Hehe smiled, and John hurriedly explained, "Wait a while, ten minutes at most, and you'll know what these roads are for." ”

While explaining to his grandfather, John also used his eyes to soothe Anna, who was also surprised.

What John studied here, John had been hiding from them. It's not that there's any particular reason, it's just to surprise them.

"Good morning, Mr. Huntelaar!"

Just when the old Huntelaar wanted to continue to ask, a middle-aged white man in his thirties greeted him with an excited face.

"Good morning."

Smiling slightly, John introduced old Huntelaar: "Grandpa, this is Wilbur?" Mr. Wright, General Manager and Director of Huntelaar Aircraft Manufacturing Company, is also the protagonist of today! ”

"Oh? Hello, Mr. Wright. ”

Glancing at Wright in surprise, old Huntelaar nodded calmly at the other party.

What is the identity of the old man? After a slight nod, Wright immediately saluted respectfully, and then greeted the proprietress before he couldn't wait to say urgently: "Mr. Huntelaar, can the test flight begin?" ”

"Well, let's get started!"

John waved his hand, and Mr. Wright immediately ran into the factory with an excited expression.

And then......

Old Huntelaar heard a strange roar coming from the factory. As the door of the factory was slowly opened, the strange roar got closer and closer, and finally revealed its true face!

Under the astonished gaze of countless people, John smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa, Anna, please allow me to introduce you to the new product of the Huntelaar Aircraft Manufacturing Company, a great invention ......that allows mankind to completely conquer the blue sky" (to be continued. )
