Rise of Australia

Chapter 161 The Necessity of Improvement

Benz and Diesel took the design drawings, and after carefully examining them for a long time, they slowly said, "Your Highness, such a design is indeed feasible."

"Really? Then how long will it take to make a test product of this kind of car?" Arthur nodded as expected, and asked with a smile.

The difficulty with trucks compared to cars is good design and engine performance.Now Arthur has provided the design, and Diesel's engine research and development capability and technology are definitely the world's top, which also provides the possibility for the birth of the transport truck.

"It's hard, Your Highness. Because it's a truck, we need to calculate the weight of the cargo to make sure that our engine can make the car run smoothly. This situation is different from a passenger car, which has stricter requirements on the engine. Benz said after pondering for a while.

The weight carried is the obvious difference between a passenger car and a truck.

Since trucks are to be developed, the weight of the goods carried must not be too low.

Now the automobile engines in the world can't bear too heavy goods at all, and this is also the reason why trucks are not born.

But this is not difficult for Australia. The diesel engine developed by Diesel can just make up for this shortcoming.

In previous tests, Diesel's diesel engine was able to tow something weighing at least [-] kilograms at a constant speed of [-] kilometers for more than three hours.

This has preliminarily met Arthur's expectations for a truck.

But this does not mean that Diesel’s diesel engine has no shortcomings. After a long period of operation, the high temperature of the engine is one of the most important causes of failure. How to effectively dissipate heat from the engine is the current Diesel diesel One of the engine's biggest problems needs to be solved.

"For the first car used to carry goods, our requirements are not so strict. The carrying capacity of the first goods car can reach more than [-] to [-] tons, but it must meet the requirements of a car like a car. That kind of stability," Arthur said with a laugh.

Right now, trucks are only in the preliminary research and exploration stage, and Arthur will naturally not be whimsical and invent a giant truck with a cargo capacity of several tons.

For Benz and Diesel, being able to invent a truck with a cargo capacity of more than [-] tons and a stability similar to that of a car has already achieved initial success.

"If this is the case, then the difficulty of the initial research and development work will be greatly reduced. Your Highness, give us three months, and we will make a test product according to the blueprint." Diesel breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and talked to Benz After looking at it, he spoke immediately.

If it is developed from scratch, then the development cycle of the truck will take at least half a year or even several years.

However, because the diesel engine that the truck will be equipped with has already been born, coupled with the fact that there are already preliminary drawings, the development cycle of the truck can also be greatly shortened.

Three months is actually not a long time, especially for the development of a new type of car.

Arthur naturally didn't want to ask for anything, nodded and said: "During your research and development, the resources of the Ministry of Industry are at your disposal. Although it is only for the exploration of trucks, I hope that our trucks It can also adapt to road sections with poor conditions, and the requirements for stability must be high.”

If it is said that passenger cars require performance and safety, then the more important thing for trucks is stability.

If the car delivering the goods is paralyzed halfway, it will definitely be a troublesome thing to deal with.

Moreover, once the truck is successfully developed, it will achieve very remarkable achievements in the civilian and military fields.

Whether it is the transportation of civilian goods or the transportation of strategic materials and resources in the military, it cannot be tolerated that the goods will be paralyzed halfway due to car failure.

This is an unacceptable problem for the owner of the car, the owner of the goods and the people who need the goods, and it will also be a problem that trucks must solve in the future.

"Yes, I understand, Your Highness. Please rest assured that the truck we develop will focus on stability and try to avoid accidents on the road." Benz quickly responded.

In fact, the Benz Automobile Factory also really pays attention to the stability of the car.

The Benz one, which has been released, basically has no problems when driving at a stable and uniform speed, and can drive stably for at least six hours.

It is only necessary to let the engine rest for a period of time every six hours to cool down to its original state, and the car can be driven on the road again.

Compared with other cars, this has greatly improved the stability problem. At least the time when Benz One breaks down on the road will definitely be far less than other cars.

After confirming the research plan of the truck, Arthur has nothing to do in the car factory for the time being.

Next, the most important work of Benz and Diesel is to develop the test product of the truck according to the drawings, and at the same time to explore the improvement of the Benz one that is currently on sale.

Although Benz one should be the best car in the world in terms of cost performance, its performance is definitely world-class.

But if you are only satisfied with the current performance configuration, sooner or later it will be surpassed by other automobile factories exploring assembly line production methods.

This is the case with Ford in history. Although the Model T car invented has been the best-selling car in the world for more than ten years, it even accounts for more than half of the world's market.

But it was precisely because Ford was satisfied with the configuration of the T-model and did not vigorously improve the T-model that the cars of other automakers caught up and eventually lost the possibility of becoming the leader in the auto industry.

Although the sales volume of Model T was as high as 500 million at that time, it was an unsurpassable number in the world, but after the Model T, the Ford company was indeed silent for a period of time, and the subsequent models were not as good as the Model T. Such a miracle.

Arthur also specially told Benz and Diesel that no matter how excellent the results are, further exploration and improvement of the results should be carried out at any time, and they should not give up no matter what.

Perhaps it is because Benz and Diesel are both very pure scientific researchers, they also solemnly agreed to this and practiced it personally.

This is also what Arthur is satisfied with them. There is no need to worry about scientific research. Their attitude and seriousness towards scientific research are as pure and great as countless great scientists of this era.
