Chapter Eighty-Three: Assembly Line Production and Automotive Testing (Subscription Requested!) )

Arthur was dumbfounded, he forgot that cars are now all handmade, and the relative labor cost and time cost will lead to the high cost of the car.

The more modest cars on the market generally cost up to hundreds of pounds, and the more advanced cars like Victor Deya cost nearly two hundred pounds.

A car costs much more than that. Because each part of a hand-built car is more or less different, this also leads to a significant increase in the cost and time of repairing the car.

It is precisely because of the hand-built reason that the stability of the car is not very good, and it may even have problems at both ends in three days.

All these factors make it much more expensive than just the price. This is also the reason why the potential of the car has far surpassed that of the horse-drawn carriage and is still not widespread all over the world.

"Mr. Bentz, I know of a new way of producing cars that might solve the problem of car production costs and construction time." Arthur looked at the two of them with a lost face and said with a smile.

"Really? Your Highness, what is the method? Sure enough, the two who were still in a low mood instantly came to their senses and asked Arthur impatiently.

"You two, your current production method is to build a car with a team, right?" Arthur did not answer directly, but asked his own questions.

"Of course, Your Highness. Only when several workers who are familiar with each other form a team to build a car together, with the blessing of tacit understanding, the production time and error rate of the car will be reduced. Benz nodded as a matter of course and replied.

"So why don't we try to take a complete car apart?" Arthur smiled and asked, "A complete car can be split into multiple parts, doors, wheels, body, engine, and so on. Everyone is only responsible for one part of it, just like flowing water, from one end of the production line to the other, isn't it good to complete the assembly of a car little by little? ”

Since there is no such thing as assembly line production, Arthur can only summarize this statement in specific terms.

But it's clear that both men quickly got a taste of the assembly line approach and are frowning at its role and advantages.

"Splitting a complete car into many modules?" Benz frowned and thought, and after a while, Benz looked at Diesel with a little excitement, just in time to see the same gaze from Diesel who was also excited.

"If one person is allowed to complete only one module, it will not only increase the speed of car assembly, but also reduce the error rate in the production of parts and car assembly. Oh my God, Your Highness, this is really a genius idea. Thank you, this idea has the potential to save the automotive market and even move to other industries. Benz said to Arthur with a little excitement.

In fact, this is indeed the case, and the assembly line production technology invented by Ford has been applied to all walks of life.

The discovery of this technology has also greatly increased the production speed of the machinery industry, not only promoting the popularization of automobiles and expanding the market, but also making great contributions to other industries around the world.

"If I could, I would like car factories to be able to modify according to this theory. If we can use the assembly line production method to speed up the production speed of automobiles and reduce the cost of automobiles, then our automobile factory will be the leader in opening up the world automobile market. Arthur nodded lightly and said with a smile.

It is clear that both Benz and Diesel have been attracted to Arthur's assembly line theory.

If it weren't for the fact that the experiment with the new car had not been completed, the two would have been eager to start the transformation of the factory.

However, the experiment of the new car should not be missed.

It's the culmination of the existing knowledge of Benz and Diesel, and it's arguably the most advanced car in the world.

For the experiment of the new car, the two are still very confident.

At present, the automobile inspection technology is also relatively simple, mainly to test the stability of the maximum speed and uniform speed of the car, as well as the failure rate in some more complex road sections.

In terms of speed, because of the use of a powerful diesel engine, the top speed of the new car is very satisfactory, capable of reaching a terrifying speed of more than 80 and nearly 90 kilometers.

The figures for driving at a constant speed are also attractive. The new car is fully capable of maintaining a speed of forty kilometers per hour until the fuel tank runs out, a process that takes about seven hours.

Although this number is not much compared to the cars of later generations, in the early stage of the birth of the car, this is already a figure that no one dares to imagine.

It is important to know that the most commonly used small means of transport in Europe at present is still the horse-drawn carriage. The average speed of the carriage is only a dozen kilometers, and any faster will lead to serious bumps and even car crashes.

Nowadays, the speed of automobiles is generally in the range of 20 to 30 kilometers per hour. First, the car is still in the exploration stage, and most people are not familiar with this emerging thing. This also leads to a reduction in the speed of the car, because the vast majority of people are not able to adapt to excessive speeds.

Second, the frequent failure rate of existing cars also means that the car cannot travel too fast.

There are often times when the car's fuel tank is less than halfway down, and the car is already in a breakdown and cannot move.

Against this backdrop, the car developed by Benz and Diesel was capable of reaching a maximum speed of nearly 90 kilometers per hour and driving at a constant speed of 40 kilometers per hour for nearly seven hours.

Regardless of production costs and construction time, the performance of such a car is already ready for the market, even for the Model T.

After reading the first two speed tests, Arthur and Benz and Diesel were very satisfied.

As for the next stability and failure rate tests, because they need to go to different sections of the road for a long time, they can only be carried out on another day.

But based on the first two tests alone, the performance of the new car was fully qualified and met Arthur's expectations for a car of this era.

Now it's up to Benz and Diesel to successfully grasp the theory of the assembly line and rebuild their respective factories.

Once the renovation is completed, Arthur's car will be one step ahead of the Model T, and the world car market will be laid out and planned in advance.

Thinking of this, Arthur looked at Diesel and Benz, and said with a smile, "Mr. Diesel, Mr. Bentz." I am very satisfied with this car, and I hope that you can work out a specific assembly line production method as soon as possible and rebuild your factory. If you can successfully reduce the production cost and construction time of the car, you will be a hero to Australia. ”

The second more, ask for support! There is a shift in the evening, kneel and beg for support!
