Chapter 1312, Transport Trucks
At Luo Ji's suggestion, the Academy of Science and Technology, which had produced the results, quickly increased its research funding by 20% every quarter.
In this regard, Xu Jing and other members of the Academy of Science and Technology are naturally more motivated.
Soon he built the first car of his civilization in the world.
Of course, it would be more accurate to say that it would be a transport truck.
For the current civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, everything has to be prioritized in the military field.
Can two-seater, four-seater family cars be useful for the military field?
What Luo Ji needs now is a transport truck that can transport logistics supplies and heavy ordnance in large quantities in the field! That's what is valuable to him.
And here, by the way, it is worth mentioning that Ye Qingxuan's commercial civilization just unlocked a new ability item some time ago, called 'Battlefield Merchant'.
The ability of this new project can be said to be quite simple and crude, and in simple terms, it can be traded without being affected by the combat state!
According to the limitations of the original system, players are completely unable to carry out any trading operations in the combat state.
But Ye Qingxuan's commercial civilization broke this restriction with the special project of this 'battlefield merchant'.
Relying on the advantage of being able to trade emergency supplies for players in combat status, she can be said to have earned a lot of money recently, not only civilization points and development resources, but also some rare items that cannot be bought under normal circumstances.
And this silver-level truck blueprint was also obtained by her from a player who was in a combat state and was in urgent need of supplies.
At a really critical moment, I believe many players will be happy to exchange these items for some life-saving resources.
And it is precisely because of this that Ye Qingxuan seized the unlimited business opportunities, saying that she is making money every day, it is estimated that it is already light.
At the same time, even the whole reputation of the 'mysterious merchant' is getting louder and louder.
Right now, many players in the Silver Tier are eager to sign a trade deal with this unknown 'Mystery Merchant'.
Although the starting price is black, for players who are at a life-and-death juncture, as long as it can save their lives, it is cost-effective.
Now, back to the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization, the first test of the transport truck was placed outside the city.
Since the operation method is quite difficult for people who have never touched the vehicle at all, the driving task is entrusted to the people of the Science and Technology Institute.
Even Luo Ji is just watching from the sidelines, he can actually drive, but due to the influence of his own personality, he is not very interested in driving and cars.
Some people always say that men love cars, and cars are men's little wives or something, for this kind of remarks that directly affect all men, Luo Ji has always scoffed, cars? What's that? Lao Tzu likes warships, tanks, and bombers, what's wrong?
The experiment with the transport truck went very well, and there was obviously no problem with using it to transport large ordnance weapons such as cannons, and it was definitely faster than a horse-drawn cart anyway.
After that, Luo Ji undoubtedly planned to build a production factory, which was specially used to produce vehicles and put them into the military.
For this reason, it is natural to confirm with Xu Jing the problem of resource consumption and production efficiency.
In the end, it turned out that according to the current situation, it is impossible to carry out large-scale and efficient production, because some technical problems cannot reach the point of assembly line production.
Also, this driver will have to take some time to train.
In this regard, Luo Ji also expressed his understanding.
In any case, let's start with the establishment of a dedicated production plant and start production.
Soldiers can continue to ride horses, and transport trucks can greatly speed up the delivery of military resources and ordnance and weapons.
Things here must be arranged quickly, whether it is the training of drivers or the production of transport trucks.
And during this period, such a big move naturally inevitably attracted the attention of the people.
Even many businessmen have clearly felt the value of transport trucks.
But in fact, under the premise that the military is not enough, it is obviously too early to put it into civilian use.
We have to wait until he finishes this all-out war.
However, traffic rules, signs, traffic lights, zebra crossings and the like can be written slowly on the plan first.
lest you have to toss a lot of things at once and make yourself scramble.
As mentioned earlier, Luo Ji can drive, and during the summer vacation, he will go to get his driver's license, and at the same time, the place where he works during the summer vacation will also ask him to drive to transport goods or something from time to time.
So he still knows quite a lot about traffic rules.
It didn't take much effort to think of one and write one, but dozens of pieces had already been written, and the patterns of the signs were also roughly drawn, which can be said to be very smooth.
Some time passed, and the construction of the production plant successfully triggered a construction project.
Luo Ji did not hesitate to spend a sum of points and directly point that project to level five, in order to improve the manufacturing efficiency of transport trucks.
And the candidates for the drivers are also selected directly from the troops.
Due to the limited number of trucks that can transport finished products, the vast majority of drivers can only learn in writing for the time being, and then take turns to actually drive them.
During this period, Luo Ji found that in the operation of this kind of equipment, the goblin soldiers were unexpectedly good hands.
They learn the fastest and are comfortable driving.
The only thing that was a bit of a hassle was having to adjust the seat and cab a little bit according to their size.
None of that, though.
Anyway, they don't have an assembly line factory yet, and making some adjustments is just a minor problem.
Before the onset of winter, the first military transport convoy of the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization was officially formed.
And this convoy, Luo Ji naturally intends to give priority to the rear support of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
Loaded with military supplies, the convoy drove along the smooth road all the way to the Elven Province in the south.
Here, it has to be mentioned that although the transport truck also emits exhaust gases, this is obviously not comparable to the steam train at all, and it is within the range of the elves.
So far, at least, the elven people have not protested.
This finding is important because it is considered that before more advanced, non-polluting large-scale civilian transport vehicles are produced, he should be able to use some small and medium-sized vehicles as the main mode of transportation in the south.
Thinking of this, Luo Ji decisively flipped out his development plan book, and then made notes and marks quite seriously.
At this point, this matter is officially put on the agenda by him......
