Chapter 562 Three-Wheeled Motorbike! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At this moment, Wu Aiguo wanted to get the three-wheeled vehicle sorted out.

The demand for transport vehicles at the Gulou Repair Shop has become so great that it is affecting normal production expansion.

Unfortunately, the signboard of Gulou Repair Shop is too small.

Even with the help of the local government, they still couldn't qualify to buy transport trucks.

Whether it's an old Jiefang truck or a light truck from Beijing, there are no repair shops there.

However, at this time, the amount of production materials input into the Gulou Repair Shop every day was getting larger and larger, and it couldn't be without its own means of transportation.

The production of coal-making equipment, iron materials for various types of honeycomb briquette stoves, and loose coal for making honeycomb briquettes are transported in tons every day.

As the repair shop rapidly expands, the demand for raw materials naturally increases.

At first, it was understandable that the partner companies would take the initiative to deliver the goods to our door.

But over time, the company will inevitably develop some temper.

Or, if there are other transportation tasks, the repair shop will need to pick up and transport the goods themselves.

Large livestock are now prohibited from being used for transportation in the capital, and raising these things is a huge drain on resources.

After much deliberation, Wu Aiguo could only focus his attention on three-wheeled vehicles.

He was no stranger to three-wheeled vehicles.

In my previous life, when Timor Island and the former site of Lanfang were first being developed, three-wheeled vehicles played a very good role.

The key point is that the mainland was capable of large-scale production at that time!

Wu Aiguo was frequently in contact with three-wheeled vehicles back then, and he was quite familiar with their principles and various structures.

This thing is definitely a powerful tool for running within cities and short-distance transportation between urban and rural areas, provided the road conditions aren't too bad.

In 1962, China had its own motorcycle factory.

In addition to the large number of sidecar motorcycles left over from the period of the "Little Days" invasion, the number of motorcycles in China is actually still quite large.

Unfortunately, Wu Aiguo still couldn't get his hands on one.

Then we had to call in reinforcements, and Old Li from the police station was the first one.

This guy also gave Wu Aiguo quite a surprise.

The police station didn't have any sidecar motorcycles either.

But he knew that at the Dongcheng District Municipal Bureau, there were old, unusable sidecar motorcycles sitting in the logistics warehouse, gathering dust.

If Wu Aiguo needs it, he can help get it for him!
Of course he needs it!

As long as there are no problems with the engine, the first three-wheeled motorcycle in China will soon be produced at the Gulou Repair Shop.

While waiting for Lao Li to procure some old, dilapidated sidecar motorcycle, he also made frequent trips to various relevant universities and research institutes in Beijing that weren't highly classified.

At this point, the benefits of having support from one's employer become apparent.

A letter of introduction bearing the official seal of an organization can lower most of the guard of the receiving unit.

As long as it's not a competing product and there's no clear conflict of interest, the partner organization is quite enthusiastic.

At least, Wu Aiguo received satisfactory answers to his inquiries about relevant materials and the manufacturing of three-wheeled motorcycle parts.

By the time Lao Li brought over the old sidecar motorcycle from the Dongcheng District Municipal Bureau, Wu Aiguo already had a good grasp of the relevant technologies in China at that time.

In summary, China now possessed the necessary conditions to manufacture three-wheeled vehicles. The necessary technologies and materials were readily available.

It might be a matter of approach, or perhaps some capable factories aren't particularly enthusiastic about developing new things.

Wu Aiguo didn't care about any of that!
It was already autumn, and he planned to ride his three-wheeled vehicle to his hometown to buy a batch of mountain produce and a large quantity of wild fruits.

To reassure the villagers back home, the promise of purchasing vegetables in winter is not just empty words.

If possible, the repair shop could easily form a large army of three-wheeled vehicles to purchase all kinds of daily necessities in the vast rural areas around Beijing.

This is a good thing for the villagers and the repair shop!

Of course, there was a reason why he was so proactive, the main reason being that he had no money in his pocket.

Even with her father's support, she couldn't afford the daily medicinal diet supplements.

This is under the condition that prices are particularly cheap and the Chinese medicine in pharmacies is very reasonably priced; otherwise, the expenses would be even more outrageous.

In later times, simply finding suitable medicinal materials would be a considerable hassle.

In his previous life, he invested an astonishing amount of money in the unfathomable field of biomedicine to better aid his training.

Of course, there were still quite a few gains.

At least, you don't have to worry about so-called decades-old or even century-old ginseng, or precious medicinal materials like Ganoderma lucidum.

Through biomedical technology, it has become possible to produce medicines that can replace 60% to 80% of the efficacy of natural and precious medicinal materials.

Although Wu Aiguo knew many methods of making medicines and even remembered the proportions of various materials clearly, the current technology simply could not achieve this.

It's possible that top-tier laboratories could do it, but Wu Aiguo has no access to such institutions and doesn't want to be completely exposed.

Given his current physical condition and exercise intensity, he only needs regular dietary and medicinal supplements, which are quite expensive.

Wu Aiguo didn't have any ulterior motives; he just wanted to try it out and see if he could make money.

Developing a motorcycle-style three-wheeled vehicle, not the kind with a steering wheel, is quite simple.

With the support of the neighborhood and the help of Takeshi's father, a level-five fitter, the old motorcycle's fuel tank and engine were quickly repaired and properly maintained.

Next comes the process of assembling the three-wheeled vehicle.

If needed, the surrounding street factories can help, and even the father can use the old equipment in the factories to make some key parts by hand.

And so, through hammering and banging, almost entirely by hand, they assembled a rustic-looking three-wheeled vehicle.

Wu Aiguo got into the car immediately and pushed off with his right foot. The engine started successfully on the first try.

Then, surrounded by many workers and his own father, Wu Aiguo slowly started the three-wheeled vehicle, puffing out thick black smoke.

As the accelerator was pressed harder, the three-wheeled vehicle sped up faster and faster.

Of course, due to the old engine, the highest speed it could reach was only thirty miles per hour, and it also made some strange noises that were terrifying from time to time.

Even so, seeing the three-wheeled vehicle they had assembled and built successfully start and hit the road, the people in the specialized modification workshop cheered with delight.

Workers from other factories frequently turned their heads, wondering what had happened to cause such a joyous commotion.

During the subsequent test drive, all the workers who participated in assembling and perfecting the three-wheeled vehicle, as well as the main fitter, Takeshi, got on the vehicle and had a good experience. When they got off, their butts were all numb.

At this point, no foam cushions were prepared to cushion the pressure.
