Chapter 426
Time flies, one month later!
"His Royal Highness, tomorrow is the New Year, has the steam car you mentioned last time been manufactured?"
In Yuxuan Pavilion's study room, Yu Ji looked at Ying Yu expectantly.
"Is our little Yuji waiting in a hurry?"
Ying Yu, who was teasing her two lovely daughters, raised her head and said with a slight smile.
"The family is not small!"
Yu Ji puffed up her face cutely.
"is it?"
"I originally planned to take you to the Engineering Academy to see the situation, but now that Xiao Yuji doesn't like it, then forget it."
Ying Yu deliberately prolonged his voice.
In my spare time, I am teasing my lovely little daughter and the equally interesting little concubine Yu, so don't live a happy life.
Compared with the gentle Wang Ying, the calm Xiao Mei, the open Di Ya, and the lively Yu Ji, in many cases, they are more girlish and cute.
"His Highness is bullying others again!"
Concubine Yu moved the small scorpion and turned her face away angrily.
"I also said that you are not young, you are almost the same as Xiao Wan'er."
"Okay, don't get angry, go call Yingying and the others, let's go to inspect the new car together!"
Ying Yu couldn't help but laughed dumbfoundedly.
According to the news from the Academy of Engineering, the manufacture of the steam car engine has been completed, and the deployment with the car body is also very smooth. Calculate the time, and the car can almost be picked up.
Even if the final power is a bit short, and it does not fully meet Ying Yu's design standards, it is definitely a great improvement for Da Qin today.
Prior to this, the main means of transportation in Daqin was horse-drawn carriages.
Even after special optimization and design, the carrying capacity of a carriage is still very limited, and it is also limited by the number of poor horses. It is difficult to achieve explosive growth in a short period of time, making it difficult to increase the upper limit of land transportation in Daqin, and Yingyu cannot Without vigorously promoting waterways, the Jiangnan and Liaodong Grand Canals were successively opened.
However, although the canal has many conveniences, it needs the support of sufficient water sources, and its limitations are not small.
But the steam car is different.
As long as the manufacturing level is high enough, steam engines can even drive sea ships and trains, not to mention freight cars.
Even limited by miniaturization, the carrying capacity of a single vehicle is much stronger than that of a horse-drawn carriage.
And steam cars have another advantage, that is, they work continuously for a long time, unlike horse-drawn carriages that need to take turns to rest, and are more efficient.
The speed is not comparable to that of a horse-drawn carriage.
At present, although Daqin's carriage can reach a sprint speed of seventy or eighty miles an hour in a short period of time, the comfort will be greatly reduced, and the horses will soon have to slow down due to excessive physical exertion.
In a day, even if you change horses but not cars, you can run six or seven hundred miles at most.
Switching to a steam car is not only faster, but also more comfortable, which is not at the same level at all.
It can be said that the advent of the steam car will give full play to the advantages of the many concrete straight roads that Daqin has built, and let the wheels of Daqin really roll.
And the steam car was only the first step in Ying Yu's plan.
After the steam engine technology is improved, larger steam cars, steam trains, and steam-powered ships will come out one by one.
At that time, Daqin's transportation capacity will directly leap forward.
Coupled with the steam-powered assembly line, Daqin can be said to have truly entered the industrial age!
And the industrial age is absolutely absolute for the crushing of the non-industrial age!
For this meaningful occasion, it is natural that the whole family should be invited.
Moreover, Wang Ying has already finished confinement, so she should go out for a walk, relax and exercise.
Think of it as the whole family going out for an autumn outing.
Soon, Wang Ying and the others finished washing and dressing up, and headed towards the test site of the Engineering Academy, led by Ying Yu, who was holding her two young daughters.
As soon as they entered the gate of the Vehicle Research Institute of the Academy of Engineering, the group saw a behemoth with four wheels.
This Daqin's first steam car looks exactly like a classic car from the previous life. The most obvious difference is that there is a long smoke exhaust pipe erected above the engine.
Although the appearance is mainly black, under Ying Yu's design, not only is it not ugly, but it is a bit more domineering.
It is the most suitable as a New Year's gift for Ying Zheng.
"Yeah!"
Seeing the car in front of her, the naughty little Xiner excitedly waved her fleshy little hands, obviously very happy.
The more well-behaved Xiao Wan'er also opened her bright eyes and bit her little finger curiously.
"I have met His Royal Highness, ladies and gentlemen!"
Gong Shujie and other craftsmen, who were debugging the steam car, saw Ying Yu coming, and quickly greeted him, saluting respectfully.
"Excuse me, how is the progress of this steam car?"
Ying Yu waved his hands and said.
"It's quite smooth, just waiting for His Highness to come down and accept it!"
Gongshu Jie quickly replied.
"very good!"
"But the next test drive is the real test. If you fail, the prince will be held accountable!"
Ying Yu said seriously.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we have conducted a comprehensive test according to His Highness's instructions, and we have full confidence."
"For all important components, spare parts are also prepared, and even if there is a sudden failure, they can be repaired and replaced in time."
Gongshujie said confidently.
"Very well, this is the attitude of doing scientific research."
Ying Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Under my guidance, the level of the Daqin Engineering Institute is getting higher and higher.
It already has the professionalism and rigor of scientific research in later generations.
With a wave of his hand, Ying Yu rejected Gong Shujie who wanted to be his driver, handed over the two padded jackets in his arms to Wang Ying and Xiao Mei, and jumped directly onto the driver's seat.
Although it is Daqin's first test car, but because it was designed by Ying Yu himself, it has all the necessary suspension, gearbox, etc., and even the driving method uses a steering wheel.
Therefore, after a short trial, Ying Yu quickly mastered the driving skills of the steam car.
Gongshujie and the others were amazed.
However, thinking that from the steam engine to the steam car, all the design concepts were proposed by Ying Yu, they were soon relieved.
As for Wang Ying and the others, their eyes were full of admiration.
My husband is indeed the best.
"How about it, do you want to come up and try the prince's driving skills?"
Ying Yu smiled and said to her family of beauties.
Of course, he, the designer, had to do such a meaningful thing as the first time a Daqin steam car was on the road.
And it can also make your own babies happy, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.
