The test drive lasted for more than three hours and was very stressful. Lin Yan felt that he had not been so tired for a long time. But her mood was soaring.
The test car can only reach a maximum speed of more than 5,000 meters per hour, which is not as fast as a person's normal running speed, but she is very satisfied.
It was much better than expected. Her expectations before the test drive were very low. As long as the car could start and drive normally, it would be a success.
Once the first step is taken successfully, the subsequent improvement work will be much easier.
Lin Yan got out of the car with a bright smile and said loudly, "We succeeded."
The crowd burst into warm applause. These people were all the developers involved in the test vehicle and had been looking forward to this moment for too long.
Personally participating in the process of assembling Sun Alliance's first fuel vehicle from scratch is the result of the joint efforts of countless people.
As soon as Lin Yan got out of the car, Lan Yue and Lu Zhuo rushed to the car at the same time, but Lan Yue took the lead.
But when she sat in the driver's seat, she had a problem and didn't know how to operate it.
She didn't participate in person, she only saw the whole process of Lin Yan's test drive. When she sat in the driver's seat, she realized that there was a lot missing.
Lan Yue was about to ask Lin Yan for advice when Lu Zhuo said directly: "Let me do it first. I know how to operate it. You can watch from the side."
There was an empty seat next to the driver's seat. Lan Yue glanced at it, pursed her lips, and moved to sit next to it.
Lu Zhuo is the chief engineer of this project. He wants to be the first to test drive the car more than anyone else. He will admit it if he can't win the alliance leader, but he will never let it go to the second one.
The car started again. Lan Yue looked and asked. Lu Zhuo devoted himself to the test drive. When he finally calmed down from the excitement and the car was running normally, he opened his mouth to explain to Lan Yue.
Lin Yan did not chase the car. After driving it herself, she found many problems and she was already thinking about how to improve it.
For half a month, the test car kept running around the scientific research institute, followed by a group of people, and more people from the scientific research institute participated.
Everyone was curious and kept asking questions.
Lin Yan and a group of R&D staff devoted themselves to it, constantly making adjustments and changes based on the first car.
This modification took more than half a year, and finally we built a car that everyone is satisfied with. The appearance has been greatly changed, and it looks extraordinary.
The speed of the car increased and the operation was stable. Lin Yan was also very satisfied.
This is a small car with a low body and two rows at the front and rear. It can reach a speed of eighty miles per hour. It is particularly eye-catching when driving on a smooth road like Xitian Road.
After many personal tests, Lin Yan finally agreed to put it into mass production.
At the same time, major newspapers and periodicals published the news at the same time, and the advent of the car caused a sensation.
There was a picture of the car attached to the newspaper, which was very realistic, but people who had not seen it with their own eyes still couldn't imagine how such a thing could run on its own and carry several people at the same time, making it faster than a horse-drawn carriage.
Just like the bicycles of the past, people who have not seen it with their own eyes can never imagine it. Over the years, bicycles have become more common and people have become accustomed to traveling by bicycle.
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen it, and it doesn’t matter if you can’t imagine it. It must be a good thing if the alliance leader personally led the people to develop it. More people are looking forward to the early promotion of the car.
The wait lasted for a year. There were only twenty cars in the first batch of mass production. Lin Yan personally drove around Sun City.
Cars are expensive to build, but there are many people who can afford them, and one is hard to come by.
With the advent of the automobile and the completion of the Yunhai Road, exchanges between states in the Sun Alliance became frequent and the economy prospered rapidly.
Shui Sheng is still the Minister of Finance. Although he still worries about money every day, he feels very motivated when looking at the data that keeps doubling every year.
Three years have passed by in the blink of an eye, and the embarrassment of having no money seems to still be before me.
The changes in Sun City have been earth-shaking in the past few years. The number of people coming and going is several times that of before. At night, the lights of Sun City are twinkling, like a city that never sleeps.
It attracted countless people from the alliance, just to take a look at the night view of Sun City.
But once you come, you don’t want to leave. There are many novel things in Sun City, such as light bulbs of various colors, telegraph machines, electronic printing presses, large electronic machinery, etc., which are not found elsewhere.
Every year, countless people apply to the Arbitration Court to provide electricity to the capitals of various states. They are all citizens of the alliance and should not favor one over another.
Of course Lin Yan wanted to electrify the whole area, but it was too difficult and he could only do it step by step.
At this time, in the 39th year of the Solar Era, the year-end parliament was over, and the five arbiters were gathering together for a small meeting.
Huang Ying first said: "Public opinion is strong, all states are strongly demanding electrification, and the conditions are mature. I think we can start next year."
The universal electricity plan has been in preparation for a long time, and the location of the power plant and the allocation of various required resources have been properly arranged.
In addition to waterway shipping, freight vehicles can fully undertake heavy tasks.
In recent years, various cities have built bridges and paved roads, making roads smooth. Roads in many small towns and villages can be opened to traffic, so there is no need to worry about transportation problems.
Lin Yan looked at Shui Sheng, "Is the money enough?"
Shuisheng shook his head, "Such a large project requires unprecedented funds. I have discussed with the states that the local governments will bear half of the cost and electrify the state capitals first."
It is simply unrealistic to electrify all the cities at once. This plan will take several years to complete.
Lin Yan also understood that it was very difficult to electrify Sun City back then. With various technological improvements in recent years, it would not be that difficult to electrify all state capitals.
However, it is impossible to achieve universal access to electricity. The Sun Alliance covers a vast area, and just laying lines is a huge project.
We can only energize densely populated areas first, and other places can follow suit.
She said: "It has been planned for a long time, and it is finally possible. Only Sun City is aloof, and many people have already complained. Sign the documents tomorrow and let the state governments make preparations early."
Huang Ying raised her eyebrows, "Do you want each state to do it yourself?"
Lin Yan nodded, "This is a major matter that benefits the people. It is easier for each state government to take responsibility for it than it is for the Arbitration Court to take the lead."
Nowadays, the operation of the alliance organization is becoming more and more perfect, and everything has its own rules and regulations. All you need to do is follow the procedures.
Various regulatory systems have been implemented, many authorities have been decentralized, and work efficiency has been greatly improved.
The Arbitration Court has a lot of affairs and cannot take care of so many trivial matters. It only needs to control the general direction.
In addition, Lin Yan and the others take turns to go out on patrol every year and personally supervise various places. As long as illegal crimes are found, they will be reported to the report, exposing more darkness to the public.
Lan Yue and Shi Zhi had no objections, and the five people unanimously approved.
After saying this, Lan Yue directly took out a secret report, which was a telegram from Yonggu Pass.
"Xie Yi has a letter."
Lin Yan read it quickly and said, "The peaceful days are over."
Huang Ying echoed, "There has been no action over the past few years, giving us a chance to breathe. The wasteland is still being targeted."
Xie Yi's letter reminded him that more and more people in the Dongli Dynasty were mentioning the wasteland. The news leaked out from nowhere, and some people had already suggested sending someone over to find out. (End of chapter)
