C1898 Three Rounds of Agricultural Vehicles
This kind of tricycle has been popular in the country for a while. It was the driver's seat, on the door of the driver's seat. It was made of canvas and operated in a direction. In front of it was a 250 engine. The left leg kicked the engine, and it started up with a loud bang. The tires were very thin. It was similar to a handcart, mainly used as a short-distance transportation tool for the city and the suburbs.1
In this era, there was such a car. It was definitely cool. But... The craftsmanship of this kind of car was severely underdeveloped. In terms of its engine, it was quite outdated, and it cost quite a bit of fuel for the second dash. So, if Master Zhang improved it on this basis... He also had potential.
Soon, they arrived at the motorcycle factory that Hee Ribala mentioned. When they just walked in, Qin Guan heard the unique sound of the diesel engine. It was deafening. Then, he saw a tricycle coming over while emitting black smoke.
When he saw this kind of car, Qin Guan was stunned. This was not a motorcycle, but a tricycle!
Compared to a motorcycle, the biggest change was that it used a diesel engine. This car was not big, and it was similar to a tricycle in the east wind. Between its legs was the engine. The engine was rumbling. The triangular-shaped belt was moving. It went back into the transmission box and then went through the chain. It was connected to the rear bridge.
This wasn't a motorcycle, because the motorcycle used a gasoline engine. And this movement was definitely from a diesel engine, and it was from a farming diesel engine. This sound made people feel as if they were sitting on a monster.
Master Zhang heard that Qin Guan was coming, so he ran out of the workshop. When he saw Qin Guan from afar, he was happy and said, "President Qin, President Qin, welcome."
"This is your three-wheeled motorcycle?" Qin Guan asked.
"Yes." At this moment, the newly built car stopped in front of everyone. The operator extended his finger to one of the mechanisms and pulled it up. The engine roared a few times before it stopped roaring. Then, the huge flying wheel outside turned two times. Only then did it stop.
"Zhang, I heard that you are in charge of tricycles. We, President Qin, specially came here. Hurry up and tell President Qin about your creation." Hee Ribala said from the side.
"We know that ordinary motorcycles are made of gasoline. Although the engine has a lot of horsepower, it does not have enough torque. Therefore, it is not suitable to be used for heavy load. Moreover, it consumes a lot of fuel."
Some people who thought they knew a lot about cars started to talk about the data of cars. They always said that the horsepower of this engine was much greater than that one. However, he just didn't know that compared to the horsepower, actually, torching was more important.
The horsepower can only be used at a fixed speed, my car has 150 horsepower, but this is only available at 5000 revolutions. Usually when I drive, I can't even afford 2000 horsepower, and the engine can't even use 100 horsepower. When the car was checked, he was stepped on a red line. His heart ached for him. So, this data actually didn't have much use.
Compared to the acceleration, or rather the size of the engine, the torque was actually more important. This was a measure of how much strength the engine could exert.
The compression of the diesel engine was higher than the compression, so its torque was naturally very large. Moreover, there was a large mass flying wheel outside, which also stored a lot of power.
Although the diesel in front of him only had 8 horsepower, in terms of torque, it was definitely much higher than the gasoline engine with 22 horsepower.
Of course, the result of high horsepower was that the motorcycle engine had a very high speed. The speed of the tricycle was far higher than that of the diesel engine. However... Three wheels were not stable at all. Who would use such a car to race? It was mainly used to transport goods. If you used this kind of car, don't think that it only had eight horsepower. It could be pulled for about a ton on the flat road!
In the future, this kind of agricultural car was quite popular, especially in the countryside. Almost every household bought this kind of thing. When they went out, they could do business. In the fields, they could pull crops, and they were good helpers for farmers to make a fortune.
"This is also the inspiration I got from our factory. If you want to load it... We still need to look at the diesel engine." Master Zhang said. Here, he was originally a director. However, in front of Qin Guan, he acted like a primary school student.
Qin Guan nodded. "Not bad, Zhang. Your car is very close to the needs of real life. In our village market, there will definitely be a lot of potential. You can't call it a three-wheeled motorcycle. You have to call it a three-wheeled agricultural car. Specially prepared for farmers."
Qin Guan's words made Zhang's eyes light up. "Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"
Didn't think of that? Didn't think of what? Qin Guan still didn't understand.
"They are worrying about the prospective student certificate." Hee Ribala said, "Prosperous Motorcycle Factory made motorcycles, even motorcycles. It has to be done according to the national rules, too. In other words, you should know about the permit, right?"
Of course, Qin Guan knew about it. It was not something that could be listed and sold by any workshop after producing a car. This had to be approved.
The government's management of the production of cars was very strict. The few manufacturers in the past, such as Chiriy and Jili, were very strict with the production of cars. All of them had been worried about the birth certificate and didn't have the permission of the government... It was illegal, even if it was protected in the local area. It could be sold, but it couldn't be sold nationwide.
The management of cars was the strictest, and it required the approval of the Ministry of Machinery Industry. Other than the automotive factories in the economic planning era, it was almost impossible for new automotive factories to get this certification. They could only go to set up plates.
In terms of motorcycle production, although it was a little simpler, but the process was still complicated. To Zhang, this was the biggest problem. He had even thought of looking for North Heavy Truck Factory to set up cards. But this way, his Xingwang brand tricycle would have to become a north tricycle. To him, it was very difficult to open his cards.
He wanted to have his own brand and do his own business. A good horse would not turn back. If he went to find Hee Ribala to discuss this matter, he would be pointed at by countless people. This was the last way.
Now, Qin Guan gave him a solution. This car of yours, don't sell it like a three-wheeled motorcycle. You don't need to follow the Industrialization Department's path. You can use it as an agricultural machine. Isn't that enough? Walking on an agricultural machine was much easier.
This way, there was naturally no need to worry about sales.
