Chapter 1081 Diesel Locomotive
Didi, a four-wheeled carriage the size of a horse-drawn carriage on Youzhou Street was driving at a phantom speed without being dragged by horses.
The whistle never stopped along the way, and all the people passing by stopped to watch.
The style of the carriage is the appearance of the classic car of later generations, driven by Li De himself, followed by many guards.
Tick tick.
Li De honked his horn all the way to remind the crowd to avoid.
The car made of kerosene internal combustion engine was completed, and after several months of manufacturing, today is the first test finished product.
The tires are made of pure iron, with iron rings and hollow tires, and the body is long, mainly because the volume of the internal combustion engine is somewhat large.
In order to maintain the aesthetics of the classic car, there are only two positions, the position of the internal combustion engine is fully enclosed, and the smoke exhaust ducts are all in the back.
Li De drove the classic car slowly, which was not the maximum speed of the car, and theoretically he could get fifty miles, which was twice as fast as the speed of the steam car.
"Look, isn't that the Grand Duke, what has he researched again?"
"I heard that this is called a car, and it is about as fast as a horse."
"How do you know so much?"
"I followed all the way just now, and the Metropolitan Governor told me."
"Hey, where are you going?"
"To see the excitement, of course."
Those who are brave will get closer and follow the pace of the classic car all the way, and the guards have no choice but to keep a safe distance.
Li De found out that he had done a stupid thing, if he tried it, he didn't need to be in the city, now that the people are all watching, he wants to leave, and according to the current situation, it is estimated that it will take a few more hours.
How could the metropolitan governor who was close to the people drive away the people, wouldn't that chill everyone's hearts, so they could only move forward slowly, which also tested the stability of the low-speed gear of the internal combustion engine.
The blacksmith workshop was followed by the men who recorded all kinds of data, and the internal guards in charge of street order also followed, and they wanted to make sure that the Governor could not do anything, but it seemed that they could not be angry.
There was also a large group of children running over, so Li De had to be careful again, the bear children could do anything.
He was not afraid that there would be a problem with the car, he was afraid that the safety of the children would be threatened, so he immediately called the guards to take the children who were approaching.
Li De's car trial lasted for an hour before the car was brought from the blacksmith's workshop to the Governor's Palace.
The people of the Li family, who had already gotten the news, were all waiting at the door, and they were full of surprise when they saw a strange thing coming by by Li De's driver.
Li's father reacted relatively big, I don't know if the man just likes these vehicles more.
"De'er, this is the car you've heard of that can walk on its own without horses?"
"That's right, the latest kerosene car developed by the blacksmith's workshop, the model Youzhou No. 1."
"Such a big guy, so much iron should cost a lot of money, right?" Father Li asked while admiring, and at this time his eyes were already revealing love.
"The cost of this car is about 200,000 yuan."
"How much?" Father Li confirmed.
"200,000 yuan." Li De replied again.
Li An immediately regained his consciousness when he heard the price, 200,000 yuan is not a small amount of money in his opinion, even if he likes this car, he is deliberately restrained, he is afraid that Li De will start to be greedy for pleasure, the Li family's expenses have been a lot of money recently, and it will be okay if it goes on like this.
"Son-in-law, this car is really beautiful." Pei Gong doesn't have as many ideas as Li An, and it is a novelty to be able to drive on his own without horses.
"It's capable of carrying people." Pei Gong had already arrived at the co-pilot's position as he spoke, and his envious expression could not be hidden.
"Can you take the old man to experience the difference between this carriage and a horse-drawn carriage?"
Of course, Li De agreed, so he watched the car drive away in the envious eyes of everyone.
Without the people, the viewing speed is much faster, in order to avoid someone accidentally hitting each other, they are frantically honking the horn along the way to remind the people around them.
Li De came directly to the outskirts of the city to raise the speed, the capping speed is more than fifty miles, the power without an engine is still very reliable, and it is very easy to carry two people.
The only drawback is that the shock absorption is slightly worse, and the vibration of the engine makes the ride experience much worse, because the car has been shaking since it started.
"Virtuous son-in-law, the speed of this car is faster than that of a carriage shop, and it seems that the old man can also stand up."
"My father-in-law must be able to stance, in fact, it is not difficult to stance, but it also has to be learned."
"Okay, well, let the old man learn it when I go back."
After Li De drove back, he began to change the experience of different people, and directly tossed for a night, a lot of kerosene was consumed, and the lighting at night was also the lighting method of kerosene lamps, and the actual vision was not far.
Not yet ready to drive at night, but Li believes that these things will improve with the advancement of technology.
The dinner party held at Li's house were all Li De's fathers-in-law, Pei Gong and the backer Wang were all there, waiting to send people away, and Li De needed to face the ladies in the family.
"Husband, I want to learn to drive."
"Ahem, if you want to be a female driver, of course you can learn to drive another day."
"It's time to learn."
"Well, I'll work hard at night."
"Hey, husband, what are you doing in wide clothes......
After a night of silence, Li De didn't know if he was tired from driving yesterday and always felt back pain, so he got up early in the morning and drove to the blacksmith's workshop.
The finished kerosene car is this one, and after testing, it needs to be further studied and maintained by craftsmen.
As a result, many people gathered on the outside of the blacksmith's workshop to try, and the R&D personnel were taking notes based on the suggestions of the craftsmen.
Li De is trying his best to give advice after the experience.
After various tests, especially the ability to drag, the speed of the carriage has not been reduced by driving the carriage with a kerosene cart, and the only deficiency is that the structure of the carriage is somewhat unstable at a speed of fifty miles.
After all, the wooden structure is different from the manufacturing structure, and it is very unsturdy to people, but it is trustworthy that the axles of the carriage are made of iron, which can ensure the stability of the site.
"Youzhou No. 1, with a body length of 4.5 meters, a two-seater locomotive, a gas internal combustion engine, is defined as a heavy-duty locomotive."
The craftsmen made their records and decided to define a car powered by a gas internal combustion engine of nearly two meters as a heavy-duty car, which could be hung on a four-wheeled vehicle.
After various tests, it was concluded that the developers would continue to produce the internal combustion engine and that the next internal combustion engine would not take much time.
The metal connections of the body structure made by the blacksmith workshop are all made by screws, and there is no real welding process yet.
But this does not affect the development of automobiles.
Craftsmen are already working on small internal combustion engines, and the production process required to achieve them is more detailed.
