Chapter 221: Cars and Submarines

When those big families first entered the Chinese Territory, they still looked complacent, but soon they knew that the Tao was no longer good, because their foundation was no longer in the Chinese Territory, and the Zhonghua Group Company did not provide them with the best equipment to prevent leakage, and those businessmen or families who had already tasted the sweetness simply moved the whole family to the Chinese Territory and settled down in peace and stability. Otherwise, the Intelligence Bureau will let them know that they are powerful.

The inflow of a large number of funds and the settlement of a large number of wealthy merchant families in the Chinese territory have made the market here flourish rapidly, and the four counties of Tongshan, Xing'an, Shuangcheng and Far East, which were developed at the earliest, have become investment hotspots due to their earliest development and the most complete transportation facilities, which has also led to the rising land prices in the four counties.

The excessively high land price soon exceeded the bottom line of many merchants, and many merchants who did not have sufficient funds set their sights on the four counties of Beidi, Yanmen, Helan and Dongberia, which were later established, although the roads had not yet been completed, but the railways had been basically paved, and transportation was not a problem.

Even Dongmeng County, which had just begun to build a railway, and Ryukyu County and Nanhai County, which were isolated overseas, were all invested, and the Chinese Leader entered an era of rapid development. The Savage Continent was not open to other merchants, and Fang Xiaoyu began to have plans to establish various mines and smelting factories there.

It was originally the land that Fang Xiaoyu bought privately, so Fang Xiaoyu planned to build it into the base camp of Zhonghua Group Company, so as to prepare for some experiments beyond modern science and technology after Xiaofeng's scientific research speed was accelerated in the future, such as aerospace launch sites and factories.

After a large number of wealthy businessmen and capital inflowed into the Eastern Continent for investment and construction, the Zhonghua Group Company shifted its investment focus to the Wild Continent, and with the support of a large number of capital, personnel, and technology, the development speed of the Wild Continent was not low, at least not slower than that of the Chinese Territory in the Eastern Continent.

At this time, the East China Trip and the entire Chinese government were busy with economic construction, while Fang Xiaoyu stayed in the laboratory idly. Two months after the first four-cylinder diesel engine was developed, the first four-cylinder gasoline engine was also developed.

But Fang Xiaoyu waited for a long time, and no new practical internal combustion engine products were researched, so Fang Xiaoyu, who was in a hurry, decided to go into battle in person, and these days he spent all these days in the laboratory of Bentz to study cars. With advanced laboratory equipment, complete machine tools, and Fang Xiaoyu's familiarity with automobiles, the prototype was quickly manufactured.

In order to cater to the aesthetics of this era, Fang Xiaoyu did not make a streamlined body, but built a car based on a four-wheeled carriage after transformation. The whole body is similar to that of a horse-drawn carriage, except that a long nose has been added to the car to accommodate the engine.

The four pneumatic tires are made of natural rubber mixed with carbon black from the Sulu Islands, which is sufficient despite a certain gap in wear resistance compared to artificial rubber.

There was no problem with the lights, and Tesla quickly came up with a usable battery and DC lamp, and it also came with a chassis suspension system, which was developed from the pre-developed independent suspension system of the tank. Only the windshield is more difficult to do, because there is no tempered glass, the most rearmost Xiao Yu had to replace it with thickened ordinary glass.

Such a car was manufactured, and then painted with black paint, Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile dumbly when he circled around the car, this car was simply the most famous Model T of Ford back then, and I don't know if Ford was a model modeled on horse-drawn carriages like himself.

After filling up the gasoline, Fang Xiaoyu decided to test the car himself, because only Fang Xiaoyu had learned to drive when he was training in the military camp in his previous life. With such a risky thing as experimenting, everyone was naturally reluctant to let Fang Xiaoyu take risks, but with Fang Xiaoyu's insistence, everyone couldn't stop it anymore.

Elena, who has always been by Fang Xiaoyu's side, insisted on riding with Fang Xiaoyu, everyone knows Elena's skills, she will definitely be able to save Fang Xiaoyu's life in a crisis, which reassures everyone a lot.

Trying to drive around, Fang Xiaoyu felt pretty good. Driving a car and sitting beside a beautiful woman, Fang Xiaoyu simply felt that he had a tendency to develop towards the second generation.

The car is not bad, although the start is slower and the acceleration is not satisfactory, but the engine of this car is only forty-five horsepower, and the gearbox is only two gears, which is not bad with such an effect, and I finally have a car.

"How does it feel?" As soon as Fang Xiaoyu stopped the car, Benz leaned over and asked. Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "It feels very good, but the engine horsepower is a little smaller, in addition, the gearbox gear should be increased, only a higher gear ratio can make the car run faster, the hydraulic shock absorption system needs to be developed quickly, and the instrument must be developed as soon as possible." ”

Driving this car without a speedometer made Fang Xiaoyu very unaccustomed, he made the same suggestions, and Benz took notes very seriously, and the degree of concentration was like a primary school student listening to a teacher's lecture.

With the encouragement of automobiles, trucks were quickly developed. Thanks to the use of diesel engines, the horsepower of the truck was increased to 80 horsepower, and although the horsepower of such an engine is still small, it is enough for a small truck with a load capacity of only half a ton.

Seeing that there had been a major breakthrough in the research and development of automobiles, Feng Jingru couldn't sit still, he immediately came to Fang Xiaoyu to learn from him, and wanted Fang Xiaoyu to help him design tanks and airplanes, Fang Xiaoyu naturally agreed.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't know much about the modern equipment of tanks and airplanes, except for the tank that had been driven twice, he also knew the shape of the plane.

The tank is relatively easy, Fang Xiaoyu told Li Zhonggong the principle of the track, and asked him to study it, the artillery has Zhang Hui's help, and the electric turret steering device is almost the same as that of the warship turret, but it is more miniaturized, and Tesla has already begun to study this project.

Tanks are simpler, but airplanes are much more difficult. The current engine horsepower is too small, and it is impossible to make a monoplane, so Fang Xiaoyu drew a sketch of a biplane for Feng Jingru, and in order to increase the horsepower, he also deliberately drew the aircraft into a dual-engine model.

When handing it over to Feng Jingru, Fang Xiaoyu specially reminded him to try a gasoline engine first, instead of using a diesel engine with more horsepower but heavier, and also suggested that he find lightweight wood and use wood and metal wire to make an airplane.

These things are still immature and can't really be put into practice, and the only thing that makes Fang Xiaoyu happy is Huo Lan's submarine.
