Chapter 285 The Era of Automatic Cars (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
After a busy day at the auto company, Li Anlin slept soundly that night.As usual, he was awakened from a dream by the crowing of a rooster.

The chickens are roosters raised by neighbors. Although the houses in Fukang Shiliu Village are all independent two-story buildings and most of the people who live here are senior employees of the company, it is inevitable that some people will raise them at home. A few chickens, and some people even started a small vegetable garden in front of and behind the house.

Compared with most people, their lives are undoubtedly extremely comfortable.

In the past few years, with more and more immigrants getting married and having children, despite the company's best efforts to solve the housing problem, the "housing shortage" is still inevitable, followed by an increase in the number of marriages and "baby boomers". "The emergence of housing shortages has become more prominent.

The city scale of Nanhua has also expanded with the construction of new communities. In addition to the densely populated communities, a series of quiet small towns have appeared outside Nanhua City. These small towns are all around certain factories. Or there is a public carriage connecting the main city, and there is no problem with the traffic.

Like the Fukang Sixteenth Village where Li Anlin lives, although it is two or three kilometers away from the main city of Nanhua, it takes about 20 minutes to take a public carriage.But thanks to the convenience of bicycles, it only takes ten minutes to reach the main city.

Bicycle - this is the most fashionable product at the moment. This kind of bicycle with the same front and rear wheels and pneumatic tires was invented by Zhu Xianhai to solve the transportation problems of employees. Don't underestimate that it is just a human-powered bicycle. The company's many laboratories have spent nearly a year on scientific and technological research.

This kind of bicycle borrows from the models of old-fashioned permanent bicycles in later generations. The main components such as frame, front fork and chain are made of high-strength low-alloy manganese steel, which ensures the strength of the product and improves the processing accuracy. At the same time, it adopts nickel plating technology and 6 kinds of Variety of paints, so that 10 indicators, such as vehicle weight, riding lightness, component strength, gear bowl wear resistance, electroplating and paint quality, finished vehicle decoration and tire performance, meet the quality requirements of durability.

Among all the bicycles, the most popular one is not light bikes, but heavy-duty vehicles. Its rated load capacity is 170 kg. Foals are very popular in cities and mines.

Despite their popularity, bicycles are extremely expensive - at least one hundred and fifty yuan for a bicycle.Although it is expensive, it is still very popular because it does not need to be taken care of all day like a horse, it has to be fed and watered, and of course there is no disease.

Buying a bicycle may seem expensive, but if you use it to haul goods, you can still get a lot of rewards. After all, it can transport almost as much as a pony, but it is definitely faster than a pony. It is also more economical to use.

It is also because of this that many people buy bicycles to facilitate their commuting to and from get off work, and to use their off-duty time for transportation, and even serve as guest sellers to sell goods in neighboring farms.

However, Li Anlin, who is a technician of the company, rides a light bike, which is lighter and more expensive.Of course, it's also a status symbol - a symbol that he doesn't need to use a bicycle to intercept people and bring goods.

Of course he doesn't need to use a bicycle to deliver goods. He came back from studying in the UK at the beginning of the year. Once he joined the company, he was a sixth-level employee with a monthly salary of [-] yuan and [-] yuan a year. As soon as I entered the company, I was assigned a house, and it was a small single-family building.

That is to say, only technicians have such treatment. In fact, this year is a watershed. More and more Chinese technicians have graduated from school or returned from overseas. Soon they will replace some of the positions of foreigners and become the technical backbone of Nanhua .

Now it's just the beginning...

As usual, after waking up to freshen up, Li Anlin said a few words to his wife, and then rode his bicycle straight to the company. Automobile Company, like all factories in Nanhua, provided breakfast for employees, and it was punctual at [-]:[-] every morning.

As a young man, Li Anlin likes the feeling of stepping on a bicycle, enjoys the morning breeze, and occasionally rings the car bell, and the crisp car bell echoes on the empty street...

"For breakfast, I always start work half an hour earlier..."

Li Anlin, who was riding a bicycle, said to himself that the boss would never plan to work as a worker, so he would naturally start working after breakfast.

The prescribed working time is 6:30, but everyone has to start work half an hour earlier for breakfast.Workers are like this, and technicians are no exception.

After breakfast in the company's cafeteria, Li Anlin started his day's work as usual. The automatic car researched by the automatic car company established a year ago is a tram.

As early as two years ago, some experimenters installed electric motors for rail carriages, trying to use electric motors instead of horses to drive the vehicles.In fact, the technology of old-fashioned trams is not complicated, and the technology of the carriages is not much different from that of horse-drawn carriages. However, after adding electric motors, they face many problems.

For example, the problem of power supply, how to supply power while driving?
It is obviously unrealistic to use a battery. The price of the battery is high, not to mention the limited capacity, and more importantly, the charging time is too long.

"The key is the wire."

Dragging wires is obviously not possible. On the Automobile Company's test site, a wire is suspended in the air, and a large 'braid' on the top of the yellow car is draped over the wire at the end of the iron ring.That's the coil used for power.

"It is necessary to ensure that the intersection of the tram line will not lead to the wrong position..."

When Li Anlin took the intersection model and tried to switch between the two, the proving ground car and the tram started to drive with a "dangdang" sound again. In the past year and a half, from direct current to direct current motor, and then to tram control System, each subsystem of the tram is solved.

At present, the only thing that restricts the application of trams is the switching of contact wires at intersections. Although this technology is very complicated, the technical difficulties are still being overcome bit by bit.

"Maybe we can learn from the branch switch system of the train..."

Thinking so much in his heart, Li Anlin hurriedly stood up and took out an English book on railway tracks from the bookcase. He had studied in England, so he could understand English books, but it only took him a while to find the information he needed. .

"Xu Tao, Xu Tao, come here, I have an idea, maybe we can try this,"

With the information in his hand, he walked to the balcony and shouted to his colleagues on the testing ground.

"What do you mean we put the fork on the road into the air..."

Pointing to the sky, Li Anlin suddenly stopped talking, and he just stood on the balcony like that, staring at the sky with nothing but astonishment in his eyes.

"What, turn the fork..."

Xu Tao did the same. He looked up at the sky, opened his mouth wide, and raised his head in amazement.

Most of the other people also looked like this, they even blinked their eyes, trying to make sure that what they saw was real or not, or that they hadn't woken up in the morning.

"What, what is this?"
