Chapter 885 You are clearly talking on paper
Yuan Shen Juedao: "He reported the day before yesterday, saying that he stayed in the workshop for a day and saw the Baojun car with his own eyes, so there were some things that obviously couldn't be done, so they were rewritten and sent over later."
Xinbao nodded, held the bowl in both hands, took a sip of porridge, and continued to watch.
When Haidongqing flies, its claws are folded backwards. Most of the feathers on its belly are white, and a small part is the same color as the feathers on its body. Therefore, it is not difficult to make a small trap for covering up. You can't see clearly below, as long as you don't get caught, it will be seamless.
These can be made to match the color of the belly, and you can also make a few white ones. If there are new Haidongqing received later, it can be used if it is really usable.
The two discussed, and Xiang Xiaojun took a ruler to measure the size of several places.
Xinbao went to practice martial arts after eating and waiting for a while. When he came back from the practice, the two had already finished discussing.
Xinbao asked him: "Brother, do you want to play with Xinbao?"
Smiled to Xiaojun: "Your Highness, I'm not going, I'm going back to the workshop."
Alright, so Xinbao went to Qianqing Palace by himself, and after lunch, Xu Zhiyu came.
He sorted everyone's opinions into two parts, one part he thought was more reliable and feasible, and the other part he thought was not feasible.
Xinbao was very satisfied, and while praising him, took it over and watched it with Yeye.
The opinions and suggestions from these people are varied.
Some people suggested to make it more luxurious, imitate some patterns, some shapes...Xinbao rejected it without hesitation.
Because now is just the beginning, mainly to research technology, appearance is something that can only be considered after the technology matures.
Besides, you guys are clearly just talking on paper. You think the pictures of Baizi and Fushou Sanduo are pretty at the moment, but when you really drive on the road, these fancy lines are not good-looking at all, and they are not safe. The driver on the opposite side, no, for the driver, it is a kind of disturbance.
Others said that it should be bigger, at least it can seat ten people... Xinbao is also temporarily rejected. After all, if ten people are made, you want twenty people, and you can go big. Doing, adding a driver or something is still not something to consider at this stage.
But one person can sit on it. After all, the road in the capital is extremely smooth bluestone slabs. Many young officials like Gan Baibi and Xu Zhiyu walk up and down or ride up and down. You can use this kind of car by yourself. The car is better than the bicycles of later generations, it is easy and not afraid of wind and rain.
In addition to one person, there is another kind of multi-person, how many people?
She asked Xu Zhiyu: "If your father or mother goes out, how many people do you usually bring with you?"
Xu Zhiyu said with a smile: "Returning to Your Highness, if my father goes to court, he will not bring many people with him, usually only a coachman and two servants. If he goes out, he will bring more people. Besides the coachman, he will take at least four servants. Sometimes you need to bring guards. If the mother goes out, she will bring more people. In addition to the coachman, she usually needs to bring two to four guards, at least two personal maids and two rough envoys. One or two wives..."
Xinbao: "..."
She did a mental calculation, no wonder someone wanted a car for ten people, but none of the ten people could get it.
Xin Baozhu stretched her small arms, thinking seriously.
Ming Peidi bent one leg, let her sit on his lap, and watched with her, but didn't participate in the comments, so he watched her cross out one by one.
She calculated, "Only for one person, and for five people, up to six people."
She explained to Xu Zhiyu earnestly: "Xiaoyu, although we want to sell cars, our main purpose is not to sell cars... We are to study this kind of power-assisted mechanism, and selling cars is just incidental, to save the court a little bit. Money, our store bullies customers... No, we are rich and self-willed. In short, we don’t have to worry about not being able to sell, even if we can’t sell, it doesn’t matter, because this is not the main thing.”
"This kind of power-assisted machinery will not be used for a long time, not for a long time. We are studying it all the time. It is possible that in the next moment, we will research a more powerful mechanical power and create a more powerful car. And Not only can it be used in cars, but it can also be used in many places. We are for the development of national technology, not for making money. So we don’t need to meet everyone’s requirements.”
Xu Zhiyu nodded quickly.
Emperor Ming Pei said: "That's enough! Even if you are a female family member, as long as you don't go out of the city, five or six people are enough in the city... It is enough for a man to bring two servants and a driver. Sometimes these people hug each other, not necessarily We really need so many people, it’s just for ostentation, when this kind of car is rolled out, they won’t be able to bring it, so naturally they won’t bring more.”
Xinbao nodded: "This kind of car can be guaranteed. When a new model is launched, it can be traded in for a new one. The old car can be worth some silver taels... But when the time comes, you have to write down the weight of the load. If they insist on crowding many people, it will be crushed , is not guaranteed."
Xu Zhiyu nodded: "I have made a note."
Xinbao continued to look down.
There are some smart people in the imperial court. Apart from the aesthetics, they are also useful. Some of their opinions are really useful.
For example, someone proposed the concept of steering bell.
Now, when horse-drawn carts and ox carts turn, they still stretch their arms and yell. If there is a steering bell that doesn’t ring normally, but rings when turning, it can also warn others.
Xinbao thought it was right, so he circled it.
Some people also said that a push-pull small table can be added to the master seat in the middle. When there is one person, it can be pushed to the side for leaning on. When there are two people, it can be placed in the middle for a cup of tea.
This can also be done.
In short, there are so many interesting designs.
Xinbao circled it by himself, discussed it with Yeye, deleted two, and then asked Xu Zhiyu to send it to Xiang Xiaojun.
At first, I thought it might not be possible to make it a year ago, but unexpectedly, a prototype car was made before it was sealed.
Because the assisted mechanical power has almost been perfected, it is equivalent to the "bottom" already in place, and it is much easier to make only the surface.
The third generation of Baojun cars is a bit bigger and taller than the second generation, a bit like the peaked caps of later generations.
The driver's side becomes a two-seater, which is lower than the rear.
The driver sits on the left side, and people can sit next to him. Pedal pedals are also added, and both sides can be pedaled, but only the left side has a steering wheel.
The furnishings inside have been slightly changed, the seat has been moved forward, and indeed according to the suggestion, a small table that can be pushed and pulled has been made, and there is a round head at the front, which can be pressed down normally, and can be used as a small table if it is lifted up. There is a small box under the tea table, where you can put books or other sundries.
The servants are added to the back of the seat, which is a simple back-to-back style, facing both sides, so that you can pay attention to both sides of the road, and secondly, it is also convenient to get up occasionally, go around the seat and pour tea for the master.
The biggest difference is that the top of the driver's cab, that is, the front of the owner's seat, is made into a large glass window, so that the owner can see the scenery when he looks up. This is really a design that improves user experience.
