The next morning, when Tang Ping and Archduke John arrived at the carriage factory, they found that the carriage craftsmen who had arrived only yesterday had already begun to work.

"Don, they're really hardworking!"

"Yes, the Tang nation is the most industrious nation." Tang Ping nodded and said.

Although he likes to lie flat, it doesn't mean that he doesn't respect the quality of hard work.

Tang Ping walked over with John, and the craftsmen also greeted them one after another.

"What are you doing here?" Tang Ping asked curiously.

"Let's measure the wood over here." "Every place is different, so we have to look at the hardness, toughness and elasticity of the wood before we can decide how much material to use in the production," says one craftsman. ”

A carriage that needs to be both strong and light is not as easy as it seems.

If it is too heavy, it will be difficult to pull a horse, and the speed will be slow.

If it's too light, it's likely to break with a stumble.

And different timber is also suitable for different positions, not to say that one kind of wood is used as a carriage and a wheel.

To put it bluntly, these craftsmen have to figure out the material parameters of these woods in order to design carriages based on these parameters.

Tang Ping translated what they said to John, who gave a thumbs up and said, "Amazing, this is professional!" ”

He really didn't expect that there were so many more claims in this.

Then he and Tang Ping watched it with great interest.

Some people may find this kind of work boring, but others find it very pleasing to watch people do these things.

Otherwise, why are there so many people who repair donkey hooves and wash carpets on the short video platform still attract many people to watch.

Even a few bottle caps are put into a small river ditch to see which bottle cap floats the fastest, and five million people like it.

Now Tang Ping and the others have that feeling when they watch these craftsmen sawing wood, planing wood, or carving wood.

It may seem boring, but it's actually on top.

It didn't take long for John to find that the different shapes of wood in the hands of these craftsmen were gradually being put together.

Sure enough, without a single nail, the wood was put together into a carriage.

Not a standard-sized carriage to be exact, but a scaled-down model carriage.

"Oh my God! This...... This is...... How? ”

Archduke John assured that he had just watched these craftsmen at work.

The wooden strips, planks, and so on, all of a sudden, became a carriage as soon as they were assembled?

Is this magic or what?

"Hahaha, John, in the words of our Datang, only familiar with it."

Tang Ping took the model from the craftsman, which was a four-wheeled carriage.

It doesn't seem like much of a carriage alone, but the difficulty lies in the fact that it was made by dozens of craftsmen with one or two components each.

All four wheels are not made by the same person, but they look exactly the same.

In addition to these craftsmen testing materials, they are also demonstrating their craftsmanship to their owners or bosses.

In this way, they were told that Archduke John would never lose money by hiring them.

"Don, show me, show me."

Archduke John, like a child begging for a toy, took the model of the carriage from Tang Ping and looked at it seriously.

"Don, I have to say, this is not a carriage they made, this is a work of art, no, it is a luxury!"

The more Archduke John looked at it, the more he liked it, and finally said directly: "Don, look at this size, it is just right for babies to ride, can you ask them to change it into a car for me that babies can sleep in?" ”

"You're going to have a baby so soon?" Tang Ping asked in surprise.

"Not yet, but I'm sure it will happen soon, because I work hard every night."

Tang Ping shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then just ask them to make you a stroller." ”

Tang Ping found a few pictures of strollers from the Internet, called over two craftsmen to discuss, and then the two craftsmen drew with a pen, marked the size, and called the others over.

Half an hour later, a wooden stroller appeared in front of Archduke John.

"Don, I swear, this will be the best gift my child has ever received!" Archduke John was very pleased with this.

After a meal at noon, the craftsmen began to work hard to build the new carriage.

Datang's assembly line operation has long been popularized, but no one has used it in Europe yet.

At first, Archduke John wondered why each of these craftsmen was staring at one part and making almost four sets in one afternoon.

The slower ones also made more than two sets.

Then when it was time for dinner, when two sets of finished carriages appeared, Archduke John shouted Wang Defa!

He also thought that these craftsmen would make a carriage for each of them, and seeing them like this, he thought that it would be days before he could see the finished product.

Unexpectedly, in just one afternoon, two finished products appeared in front of me.

"Tang, you Tang people will definitely do magic! Definitely! ”

Archduke John said incredulously.

"John, this is an assembly line job." Tang Ping explained to him: "If you look at their operation line, it is like flowing water, from beginning to end, each person makes several parts of the carriage, and then finally assembles these parts. ”

"Each of them only uses the parts they are most proficient in, and they will become more and more proficient, and because each part is made by the same person, each carriage assembled in the end will be very standard, which is also called modular operation."

"In those industries of yours, you can actually try to get your workers to do that."

"Can I have my property too?" Archduke John earnestly asked, "Don, teach me." ”

"It's up to your workers to discuss it for themselves, because they know what steps are in their work, and after such a separation, it's very easy to find out what went wrong when something goes wrong."

Of course, these two carriages were much worse than Tang Ping's, but they were still very well made.

Many things can be found in many differences just by looking at the details, and Archduke John is too, and if you look closely, you can find that this carriage is much finer than the original ones.

In particular, there are many special humanized designs on the carriage, and these craftsmen are talking while Tang Ping is translating, and Archduke John nods again and again.

Finally, Archduke John looked at the carriage, looked left and right, and said, "Is there something missing?" ”

Then he suddenly said: "There is still one sign missing, Don!" Our first Mercedes carriage was just one less sign of a donkey fashion! ”
