Under the leadership of Huang Yuan, Ying Feiyu finally saw Da Qin's first car in the workshop.
Although it is not as mature as the technology of later generations, it is still good, but it is a bit bigger!
"Your Highness, according to your method, rubber has been successfully extracted. From now on, all tires will be made of rubber, and the same is true for the steam car in front of you!"
Huang Yuan walked around the car and explained the differences between it and a steam tractor.
When he talked about tires, a hint of pride flashed across his face.
"Yes, Not Bad!"
Ying Feiyu eagerly jumped into the car, touched the touch of the leather seats, and nodded.
"Have you ever tried it?"
"Go back to Your Majesty the Crown Prince, it was tested yesterday!"
Huang Yuan cupped his hands and reported.
Not to mention that this is the first steam vehicle in Daqin, even a steam tractor that has been produced for a year must be tested before leaving the factory!
"Okay! Light the fire! I will drive it out for a spin myself!"
In later generations, Ying Feiyu has driven quite a few cars, but this is really the first time he has driven a steam car.
He couldn't help but look forward to it even more!
But thinking about it, except that this guy is a little bigger, he shouldn't be much different from those of later generations!
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Huang Yuan quickly ordered the craftsmen to light a fire and boil water.
This is why steam cars were eventually replaced!
Just lighting a fire and boiling water takes a long time.
It's okay if it's not an emergency. If there is an emergency, this guy might not be as fast as the carriage!
Taking advantage of this time, Huang Yuan took Ying Feiyu around the factory.
When they came back, the water in the boiler had been boiled!
Ying Feiyu jumped into the car without ceremony. After getting familiar with it, he stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the workshop.
There is a large concrete floor outside, and driving on it is smooth and comfortable!
After a few turns, it seemed that it was not enjoyable enough, so Ying Feiyu drove it outside the factory to experience driving on a dirt road!
The steam car was relatively large and as soon as it drove out of the factory, it even startled the groom.
When he saw Huang Yuan following clearly, he understood.
It's probably another strange thing made in a factory!
The steam car bumped back and forth on the dirt road, kicking up a lot of dust.
About half an hour later, Ying Feiyu drove back with a big guy!
"Your Highness, how do you feel? Is this steam car a success?"
After the car stopped, Huang Yuan hurried over and asked.
Everything is made according to the drawings, so there should be no major problems.
I just don’t know if there is anything that needs improvement!
"Well, it's okay!"
Ying Feiyu nodded slightly.
Steam cars were fast and powerful, but they were too bulky and carried boilers and water, making them cumbersome.
It is not as good as the internal combustion engines of later generations. It is small in size, does not take up space, and is convenient to drive!
But until the internal combustion engine is built, it can still be dealt with for the time being!
"Then...is there anything else that needs improvement?"
Huang Yuan asked.
"There is no need to improve it. This kind of power source will be eliminated sooner or later. When the future system... um... no! Wait until the prince develops the drawings of the internal combustion engine, then we can improve it!"
Steam vehicles are no better than tractors and have no effect on promoting the development of Daqin.
So Ying Feiyu doesn't plan to put too much energy into this!
"good!"
Although Huang Yuan didn't know what the internal combustion engine he was talking about was.
But it sounds from what he said that the car doesn’t need to be modified anymore!
"Then... we need to build a factory and mass-produce?"
In his impression, every time His Royal Highness came up with something new, he would build factories and mass-produce them.
They range from steam trains and ships to bicycles, clocks, and telescopes!
And this time the steam car is probably the same, it needs to be mass-produced, right?
However, he only works under the Crown Prince. Whether he wants to mass-produce it or not depends on His Highness!
"Is the recent recruitment going well?"
However, Ying Feiyu did not answer the question.
"Going back to Your Highness, I used your method to set up dormitories and canteens in each factory. It really worked. Recruiting workers was much smoother than before! But the recent establishment and expansion of the bicycle factory and the mechanical clock factory have divided the craftsmen. Few, the existing craftsmen are still not enough!”
Huang Yuan reported truthfully.
"Since there are not enough manpower, there is no need to build a separate factory for steam cars. Let's use the same workshop for production for the time being!"
Ying Feiyu thought for a moment and said.
This thing is not a necessity, the cost is very high, and it is not practical for ordinary people at all, so the sales volume will not be very large, and there is no need to build a special factory for it!
"yes!"
"Okay, you go and do your work. This steam car will drive away first!"
Ying Feiyu waved to him, opened the car door, and sat in.
Although it is a steam car, the drawings given by the system are not the original ones, but improved ones!
It also comes with a carport!
Otherwise, the big chimney standing alone would choke him to death!
…
"Look, what is that?"
"It looks like a steam tractor, but it doesn't look much like it!"
"Quickly pull it down! We've all seen that steam tractor, it's nothing like this!"
"That's why I said it seems so...!"
Ying Feiyu drove a steam car, and as soon as he drove into the bustling streets of the city, he was surrounded by people watching wildly.
Now everyone is used to some new things popping up in Xianyang City from time to time, so they are just out of curiosity and will no longer regard them as monsters or the like!
Because there were so many people blocking the way, the car couldn't speed up at all, and Ying Feiyu was helpless!
"Huh? Why is there no one here?"
After Wang Ben and others left the morning court, seeing that it was still early, they made an appointment to have tea at the teahouse.
After drinking and chatting, and paying the money, as soon as he went out, there was no one on the bustling street. Wang Ben couldn't help but be surprised.
When I turned around, I found that everyone was crowded at one end of the alley. They were putting their feet up and looking around, as if they were watching something exciting!
At this moment, an old man staggered and hurried over there.
Although the speed is not fast, you can see that you have tried your best!
"Old man, what happened over there? Why did everyone run to watch the excitement?"
Wang Ben went out, walked up the three steps, came to the old man's side, and asked why.
"Yes... yes... um... big..."
However, the old man was not only uneasy with his legs and feet, but also uneasy with his speech.
After waiting for him for a long time, the old man didn't say anything, and everyone who heard it became even more confused!
"Ouch! Okay! Lao Wang, if you have time, let's all get over there!"
"No! There's nothing to do anyway, let's go over and have a look!"
"Well, if we can't save everything, what kind of hero can we meet to save the beauty...!"
Zhang Han, Meng Yi, Kang Anping and others spoke one after another.
