Chapter 84 Assembly Line Production and Vehicle Testing (Please Subscribe!)

Arthur was speechless. He had forgotten that cars are now handmade, and the relative labor and time costs will lead to high costs of cars.

The price of ordinary cars on the market is generally as high as hundreds of pounds. Cars with more advanced performance like Victoria are priced at nearly two hundred pounds.

The cost of a car is far more than that. Because each part of a handmade car has differences, big or small, this has also led to a significant increase in the cost and time of car maintenance.

It is also because of the handmade reason that the stability of the car is not very good, and it may even have problems every few days.

Under various factors, the cost of a car is far more than the price. This is why the potential of cars has far exceeded that of horse-drawn carriages, but it is still not popularized all over the world.

"Mr. Benz, I know a new way to produce cars, which may solve the problem of car production costs and construction time." Arthur looked at the two people with a look of loss and said with a smile.

"Really? Your Highness, what is the method?" As expected, the two people who were originally in a low mood instantly became energetic and asked Arthur impatiently.

"You two, your current production method is to build a car together as a team, right?" Arthur did not answer directly, but asked his own question.

"Of course, Your Highness. Only by letting several workers who are familiar with each other form a team to build a car together, with the blessing of tacit understanding, can the production time and error rate of the car be reduced." Benz nodded as a matter of course and answered.

"Then why don't we try to disassemble a complete car?" Arthur smiled and asked back: "A complete car can be disassembled into multiple parts, such as doors, wheels, body, engine and so on. Everyone is only responsible for one part, just like flowing water, from one end of the production line to the other end, isn't it good to complete the assembly of a car little by little?"

Because there is no concept of assembly line production yet, Arthur can only use specific descriptions to summarize this statement.

But it is obvious that both of them quickly appreciated the assembly line method and frowned thinking about its role and advantages.

"Disassemble a complete car into many modules?" Benz frowned and thought. After a while, Benz looked at Diesel with a little excitement, and saw the same excited Diesel looking at him in the same way.

"If one person can only complete one module, it will not only increase the speed of car assembly, but also reduce the error rate of parts production and car assembly. My God, Your Highness, this is a genius idea. Thank you, this idea can completely save the car market and even be transferred to other industries." Benz said to Arthur with a little excitement.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The assembly line production technology invented by Ford has been applied to all walks of life.

The discovery of this technology has also greatly increased the production speed of the machinery industry, not only promoting the popularization of automobiles and the expansion of the market, but also making great contributions to other industries around the world.

"If possible, I hope that the automobile factory can be modified according to this theory. If the assembly line production method can be used to speed up the production speed of automobiles and reduce the cost of automobiles, then our automobile factory will be the leader in opening up the world automobile market." Arthur nodded gently and said with a smile.

Obviously, both Benz and Diesel were attracted by the assembly line theory proposed by Arthur.

If the experiment of the new car had not been completed, the two would have been eager to start the transformation of the factory.

However, the expectation is expected, and the experiment of the new car cannot be missed.

This is the crystallization of the existing knowledge of Benz and Diesel, and it is also the most advanced car in the world.

The two are still very confident about the experiment of the new car.

The current automobile inspection technology is also relatively simple, mainly testing the maximum speed and stability of the car at a constant speed, as well as the failure rate on some more complex sections of the road.

In terms of speed, because of the use of a powerful diesel engine, the maximum speed of the new car is very satisfactory, and it can reach a terrifying speed of more than 80 kilometers and nearly 90 kilometers.

The numbers obtained in terms of constant speed are also very attractive. The new car can fully maintain a speed of 40 kilometers per hour until the fuel tank is exhausted, which takes about seven hours.

Although this number is nothing compared to the cars of later generations, it is a number that no one dares to imagine when the car was just born.

You know, the most commonly used small means of transportation in Europe is still the horse-drawn carriage. The average speed of a horse-drawn carriage is only a dozen kilometers. If it goes faster, it will cause serious bumps and even car crashes and deaths.

The speed of cars nowadays is generally within the range of 20 to 30 kilometers. First, cars are still in the exploratory stage, and most people are not familiar with this new thing. This also leads to a reduction in the speed of cars in disguise, because most people cannot adapt to too high speeds.

Second, the frequent failure rate of existing cars also means that the speed of cars cannot be too fast.

Sometimes the car's fuel tank is only less than half empty, and the car has already broken down and cannot move.

Against this background, the car developed by Benz and Diesel can have a maximum speed of nearly 90 kilometers and can run at a constant speed of 40 kilometers per hour for nearly seven hours.

Apart from the production cost and construction time, the performance of such a car is fully qualified for the market, even the T-type car is not much inferior.

After watching the first two tests on speed, Arthur, Benz and Diesel were very satisfied.

As for the next stability and failure rate test, because it needs to be tested for a long time on different roads, it can only be carried out another day.

But based on the first two tests alone, the performance of the new car is fully qualified and meets Arthur's expectations for cars of this era.

Now it depends on whether Benz and Diesel can successfully master the theory of assembly line and renovate their respective factories.

Once the renovation is completed, Arthur's car will be one step ahead of the T-type car, and the world car market will be laid out and planned in advance.

Thinking of this, Arthur looked at Diesel and Benz, and said with a smile: "Mr. Diesel, Mr. Benz. I am very satisfied with this car. I hope you can study the specific assembly line production method as soon as possible and renovate your factory. Once you can successfully reduce the production cost and construction time of the car, you will all be Australia's heroes."
