Chapter 847: Full Fueling
The trucks pushed out by the Eastern Machinery Company, the purchase price is good, the use cost is good, relatively speaking, it is still relatively expensive, and generally only the enterprise will purchase it for the needs of production and transportation.
But the Daheng Empire is so big, there are always enterprises or some farmers who have a demand for this kind of truck, and for these production and transportation vehicles, a little expensive purchase price is nothing.
You have to know that the agricultural machinery represented by the gasoline tractor is not cheap, and it costs thousands of Hengyuan or even thousands of Hengyuan at every turn, and agricultural machinery and equipment are not one, and there are many other types.
If you want to have complete facilities, you have to have thousands of Hengyuan, or even tens of thousands of Hengyuan.
Some small and medium-sized farmers in Daheng often need to borrow from banks to purchase such expensive agricultural machinery and equipment.
However, since the farmers dare to find a bank loan to buy these agricultural equipment, it is because these agricultural equipment can bring them more profits, in the past, when the horse ploughing, the use cost of the horse is actually very high, and it takes more manpower, and the effect of horse ploughing is also average, can only take a wide range of planting, and the yield per mu is actually very general.
The most important thing is that the same people can cultivate more areas of land, in the past, when a family used horses to plow, they could only cultivate one or two hundred acres, not more than four or five hundred acres, and if there were more, they would have to hire someone.
But with the machinery and equipment, one person can drive a gasoline tractor and do all the work that used to require several people to drive a horse in a minute.
This means that the scale of the farm can be expanded quickly, which in turn further dilutes the cost of agricultural machinery, and in the end, it makes more money.
Well, this massive use of agricultural machinery is also directly due to the sharp rise in the output value of agricultural products in the Daheng Empire, because the scale of cultivated land has risen sharply.
As for the lack of land, it is impossible for the time being, there is nothing else in the Daheng Empire, that is, there is a lot of land, and there are large tracts of wasteland in the central and western regions that can be cultivated, and any citizen of the Daheng Empire can go to these remote places and pay a small fee to cultivate, and after a certain number of years of cultivation, these lands will directly belong to you.
Of the more than 7 million square kilometers, one-third of the country's land area is more than 2 million square kilometers of arable land, and this is no joke!
Farmers dare to buy agricultural machinery because it brings more profits, and the same is true for companies to buy trucks because it can bring more profits.
As for the field of passenger transport, it is needless to mention that this car has been around for several years, and there are tractors and trucks on the streets, but there is still no market for private cars.
Even if some companies tried to enter the field of public transportation and make gasoline buses, but they did not ......
In the Daheng Empire, except for the big cities, public transportation was not good in the first place, and the public transportation in the big cities mainly relied on urban railways, horse-drawn carriages, trams, etc.
Especially in recent years, trams have developed rapidly, and their advantages such as low operating costs and large passenger capacity are incomparable to the current buses.
So after tossing for a while, there are no companies tossing any buses.
In both private and public passenger transport, the automotive sector still needs to continue to develop.
In the field of internal combustion engines, the Daheng Empire can be said to be unique in the entire Blue Star range, even if other countries have technology, but they do not have a huge market support, even if there is a market, but they also have to consider the problem of oil supply.
After all, the development of internal combustion engines in the Daheng Empire is based on the fact that the Daheng Empire is the largest oil producer in Bluestar.
Except for the Great Heng Empire, the oil production of other countries is not high, even the Republic of Kean, which discovered the large oil field of Ken a few years ago, is actually not high in oil production capacity now, because not long after the discovery of the oil field, war broke out in the Kenn region, and the Garfia Empire, the Kingdom of Liej, and many factions in the Republic of Kean are involved in the war.
The war had a serious impression on the commissioning of the Kean field.
The lack of oil production capacity has directly led to the fact that many countries want to develop internal combustion engines, even if the technology and market are available, but it is also very difficult.
This is the same as the oil-fired boilers used in ships.
Everyone knows that the use of oil-fired boilers can make the battleship have better endurance and more power.
But so far, except for the Great Heng Empire, which has widely adopted oil-fired boilers on newly built warships, other countries, even the Krull Kingdom, have not followed up.
It's not that they lack technology, in fact, the Krull Kingdom developed pure oil-fired boilers earlier than the Great Heng Empire.
They have the corresponding technology, and they have even used oil-fired boilers on some light warships, which is very good, but they still do not use pure oil-fired boilers on new warships.
There is only one reason, and that is that they cannot ensure the supply of oil!
Fuel-injected coal-fired boilers are now widely used, and its huge fleet consumes a huge amount of oil every year, and if the pure fuel mode is adopted, the oil supply of the Krull Kingdom will not be able to meet at all.
This has to be said to be a very embarrassing thing.
And the Great Heng Empire does not have these concerns.
Since the use of pure oil-fired boilers on a number of light warships, and the effect is good, representing the development of pure oil-fired boilers, the Daheng Imperial Navy has directly adopted oil-fired boilers on the new type of capital warships.
Today, a series of new warships under construction in the Daheng Empire all use pure oil-fired boilers, and coal-fired boilers have completely become history.
The use of pure oil-fired boilers directly made the warships of the Daheng Imperial Navy go to a higher level in mobility and directly walked in the forefront of the world.
When Lin Ziran was inspecting in autumn and winter, he went to Quping Naval Base and saw a heavy cruiser that had just been completed at Quping Naval Shipyard, the Songfeng, the lead ship of the Songfeng-class heavy cruiser.
The ship is actually a power-upgraded version of the River-class heavy cruiser.
In fact, the ship-type layout, naval guns, protection, etc. have not changed, and even the steam engine in the power system has not changed, but the boiler part has been replaced from an oil-injected coal-fired boiler to a pure oil-fired boiler, which has led to the fact that its maximum speed has been directly increased from the previous 26 knots to 27 knots.
At the same time, the endurance has been increased by more than 20%.
This is also the first pure oil-fired boiler main warship in the Daheng Empire to be completed and put into service, and the increase in speed brought by its sea trials is also more resolute in the determination of the Daheng Empire Navy to promote comprehensive oil-fired oil.
However, this is not actually the focus of Guo Dongyan's inspection, the focus of Guo Dongyan's inspection of Quping Naval Base is actually to inspect a test ship that is in a top-secret state: the destroyer Anxiao.
At first glance, the appearance of this destroyer is no different from the Guanglin-class destroyers that have been widely used in the Daheng Empire, in fact, this battleship itself is developed from the Guanglin-class improved destroyers.
And what makes this ship special is that it is the first test ship of the steam turbine of the top secret project of the Great Heng Empire!
