Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1757 The Assembly Line and the Model T Ford
"It turns out that Ling'er and Chen Yuanyuan still have such a relationship... I hope it won't affect their respective futures in the future." Selina was a little surprised when she heard this.

"Ling'er is about ten years younger than Chen Yuanyuan, so it's normal to be rejected. Chen Yuanyuan is a great beauty, but unfortunately, if she was about the same age as Ling'er, maybe she would accept Ling'er." Ella Said.

"Does Master Chu know about this matter?" Selina asked.

"Of course he knows, but he doesn't care about these things."

"Chen Yuanyuan is a good girl. She has several patents of her own in the laboratory, and my father-in-law's factory also needs to rely on her talents." Selina felt a little pity.

Indeed, Chen Yuanyuan was nearly ten years older than Ling'er after all, which was hard for people to accept.Even if Ling'er wanted it, there was nothing Chen Yuanyuan could do to refuse.

Chu Yun watched his sons and daughters grow up with his own eyes. He did not appear in the chat in the attic, but made the final inspection before the start of the World Expo.

During this period of time, he finally accumulated enough civilization points to use the industrial revolution system to open up the industrial assembly line technology and Ford Model T car technology in the second industrial revolution, and summoned Ford, the founder of Ford Motor, and his team. Create a car kingdom for Chuyun.

The emergence of industrial assembly line technology and Model T cars is definitely one of the most influential events in the history of industry. The large-scale operation of assembly lines replaces the traditional individual manual production, and the low price makes the car a practical tool for ordinary families to buy. Well, a kingdom on wheels is about to rise.Of course, the ordinary families here are not really civilians, but "middle class" in a sense.Compared with when the car first appeared, only the richest people could afford it, the Model T has brought the price of cars down a level.

At present, the Ford team has been summoned to this world for more than a year, and has just completed the assembly line of the car. It has been in production for half a year, and has produced 1500 T-shaped convertible station wagons.This is still a conscious control of production on the premise that oil reserves and market demand are not yet high.

"We used a large number of common parts for large-scale assembly line operations, which greatly shortened the production time of the car. For example, the production time of the chassis was shortened to one-seventh of the original. The front-mounted four-cylinder engine of this car can provide 20 horsepower, and the speed can reach 72 kilometers per hour." Ford took Chu Yun to visit the new car factory.

After Chu Yun summoned the Ford team, the vehicle production was separated from the engine manufacturing plant and a dedicated automobile manufacturing plant was established.

The Ford team was summoned by Chu Yun, so the factory they built was also an official property, and it was impossible to become a private car giant. They only helped realize the assembly line and the production of Model T cars.

There are still many technologies that Chu Yun wants to develop. It is impossible to put all his energy on the car. In the future, the improvement and production of cars will be carried out locally. He is only responsible for developing some key technologies.

At this time, there were hundreds of Model T cars parked in the car factory that had not yet been put on the market.

Chu Yun looked over at a glance, and every Model T car and every component was brand new and shiny.

The Model T car looks a bit like the classic car in black and white movies that Chu Yun has seen before, it looks a little bit different.As for streamlined cars, people will consider a more fashionable appearance only after cars become popular and meet the basic travel needs.

"Convertible station wagons may not be concealed enough, so we specially produced 5 closed cars with glass and steel doors for the Military Lord's Mansion." Ford took Chu Yun to see 5 more novel cars, basically T-model cars The engine and components, but the body and chassis are somewhat different.

Chu Yun sat in a closed car specially produced for some important people to travel without causing onlookers or assassinations.

There are no window regulators at this time, but the glass windows can be pulled open manually.

This is very close to the car in Chu Yun's impression!

Chu Yun simply learned how to operate the new car, and stopped in the wasteland in front of the car factory before stopping. He was very satisfied with the new car.

With a speed of up to 72 kilometers per hour, Chu Yun can feel the joy of driving.

However, at the beginning of the automobile industry, building wide and flat roads was the biggest project.And it took a lot of time. Chu Yun didn't know how many kilometers of concrete roads he could build in his lifetime.He kind of felt Zhan Tianyou's mood. The time spent on building roads and railways is calculated in years...

"Is Your Excellency satisfied with the cars we produce?" Ford asked flatteringly.

He is a person summoned by the system, he needs to obey Chu Yun's words, and serve him until the end of his life.

Chu Yun still doesn't know the purpose of the existence of the system. He just pushes the technology of civilization to the highest level possible.

"This kind of car is very good, and it looks very practical. Its positioning is to mass-produce cheaply and popularize cars in the fastest time. Find ways to continue to cut costs, and then research more trendy after cars are popularized in various large cities. cars.” Chu Yun planned to let Ford focus on improving the assembly line and producing Model T cars at a lower cost.

The popularization of any industrial technology has a process.First put forward the feasibility of the theoretical operation, then produce expensive experimental products, and then try to reduce production costs, mass-produce products, promote popularization, and develop the next generation of new products after popularization.This also takes time.

When Chu Yun came out of the car factory, he was already sitting in a Model T car specially produced for him, and behind him, a team of guards also drove a Model T car to protect him.

Chu Yun planned to drive around the capital and check the final preparations before the World Expo.

The spacious main road in the capital is lined with prosperous shops, and open-top T-cars and older cars produced by Daimler began to appear on the main road.

2000 four-wheel vehicles have been put into use in the Gyeonggi area!
"A new era is coming."

Chu Yun saw other Model T cars and three-wheeled vehicles passing by the Model T he was driving, and the city already had a hint of the atmosphere of the industrial age.

On the outskirts of the city, black smoke is coming from the towering chimneys of many factories, some construction sites are under construction, and modern buildings are about to rise from the ground.

Almost everything that needs to be prepared is ready. Although higher-level technology may not appear until the second World Expo, the current technology is enough to shock people of this era.

Chu Yun murmured, "I don't know where the fleet of envoys from various countries has gone."
