1825 My New Daming

Chapter 113 It's Chinese New Year, New Year's Eve 35! (Luo Luo asks for further reading, please collect it!)
December 35, the sixth year of Taiping in Ming Dynasty, is the day of New Year's Eve.

The sound of crackling firecrackers rang out, and the Longzhong Village was filled with people.As in previous years, the children of Zhuge's family who are scattered all over the place, whoever can walk away, will take various means of transportation to Beijing from late December to celebrate this most important New Year's Day for Chinese people. .

And on December 35th, the children of the Zhuge family who returned to Beijing will gather together in Longzhongzhuang to have a New Year's Eve dinner together and worship their ancestors.For the children of the Zhuge family scattered everywhere, the gathering at Longzhong Village every Spring Festival is not just as simple as having a meal and paying New Year's greetings to each other. It is also a means for most of them to maintain family connections and gain family support. Even effective is the least costly means.

Those Zhuges who are prosperous need to be promoted from the family to be their helpers, while those Zhuges who are temporarily underappreciated or have few talents at all need to use the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to get close to those "big Zhuges" in order to get promoted. opportunity.There are also many self-employed Zhuge, who also need to take advantage of this opportunity where the whole family gets together to solicit some venture capital.There are also many Zhuge who have a lot of spare money in their pockets and have no place to invest. They also want to use this annual family event to find some stable profitable projects
So on the day of Lunar New Year's Eve, there are always some novelty things to be seen here in Longzhong Village, almost like a fair.And in this year's Lunar New Year's Eve, the most eye-catching things in Longzhong Village are undoubtedly the cars and airships!
"Right rudder, full right rudder. One hundred and eight uncles, turn the steering wheel to the right quickly"

Outside the "Northern Institute of Technology" building in Longzhongzhuang, Zhuge Weidao is holding a steering wheel with his right hand, and is driving a hand-built wooden convertible car under the guidance of Zhuge Weijiu's grandson Zhuge Weili.

Zhuge Weidao had learned to drive a car in his previous life (he hadn’t bought a car yet), and he has also learned to drive an airship in this life, but this was the first time he heard someone call the full right rudder in a car, and the "steering wheel" he was holding in his hand was the same. It can be seen that it is a steering wheel for steering a ship.

In addition to using a steering wheel to replace the steering wheel, the interior of this car is also very poor, the chairs are hard, and the buttocks are hard to sit on, but the material is quite solid, like mahogany.There must be no seat belts, and don't even think about airbags, but fortunately there are brakes, but they are not pedals, but hand-pulled.As for manual transmission, automatic transmission, there is no transmission, and naturally there is no gearbox.The speed of the car is regulated entirely by the accelerator, and one kick is all it takes to move forward at full speed—this car equipped with a four-cylinder in-line 12-horsepower engine can fly around the "BIT Building" at a speed of up to 30 kilometers per hour .

In addition, the battery life of these two cars is much stronger than that of the previous "horse-electric hybrid" car. You only need to prepare one kind of fuel, that is gasoline, and you can run continuously for 300 kilometers as long as you fill up the fuel tank!Based on Zhuge Weidao's experience and focusing on this point alone, the final winner in this round of "steam-electricity battle" must be the car.

Of course, it is impossible for this car to be mass-produced right now. This car is not even a prototype car, it is at best a test car for the power system.If you want to build a marketable car, you must at least have car seats that don't hurt your butt, a transmission that you can change gears, seat belts, brakes that you can step on, a windshield, and a A roof that can protect from wind, rain, and sun, oh, and shock-absorbing springs. This is the industrial chain!
The industrial chain of the automobile industry is quite long. When the automobile industry matures, a car needs tens of thousands of parts, and these parts also have their upstream supporting enterprises.All the industrial chains together form a huge industrial system.

And it was this industrial system that helped the Chosen Country on another timeline win two world wars, and finally ascended to the top as the world hegemon!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao let go of the accelerator, and then pulled the brake.The brakes of this car were very hard, and it came to a sudden stop, like a sudden brake, Zhuge Weidao's body rushed forward, almost hitting the steering wheel, but fortunately, Zhuge Weili who was beside him had sharp eyesight and quick hands, gave him a hand.

Zhuge Weidao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, turned his head and said to Zhuge Weili: "Shaoxuan, your car is not bad, it has enough power, and the battery life is enough, but there are still some things that need to be improved. An evaluation book, you can refer to it."

Although Zhuge Weili is the grandson of a great military adviser, he treats people very politely and is not at all dandy, so he immediately smiled humbly and said, "Uncle Hundred and Eight, thank you very much!"

"We are all a family, so why thank you? Besides, I also invested money in your car dealership. We are in business together. You are my own!" Zhuge Youdao pushed open a door with a creaking sound as he spoke. door, got out of Zhuge Weili's car.

But his test drive is not over yet, because not one car was pulled to Longzhong Village today, but sixteen cars of various kinds, trams, steam cars, and gas cars are waiting for Zhuge Weidao to try one by one Then he will write an evaluation report for each car, pointing out their advantages and disadvantages and areas that can be improved, and give investment suggestions-according to the discussion results of the military division meeting, the Zhuge family will establish an automobile industry Fund, focusing on investing in start-up automakers.Among them, the money invested in the automobile factory founded by the three royal families, the eight aristocratic families and the children of the Xungui family can only account for 30% of the fund's total assets at most.The remaining 70% must be invested in civilian entrepreneurs!

According to the tradition of the military division of the Zhuge family, only the five youngest members have the right to decide on the issue of venture capital investment targets.And Zhuge Weidao is now the youngest member of the military division, so he is the only one to test drive cars, trams, and gas cars.

In addition to test driving the car, after the Chinese New Year, he also has to test drive the airship. The Zhuge family established an aviation industry fund very early on, and invested a lot of money in the airship!Many large and small airships have been produced, including the "Flying Dragon III" boat that shined in the Battle of Peshawar.After the Battle of Peshawar, airships became an "outlet industry" for a while, so today there are twenty or thirty airships, large and small, floating in the sky above Longzhong Village, all of which are looking for investment.

Although Zhuge Weidao is not planning to make big airships, both airships and airplanes fly in the sky. If he can make airships, maybe he can also make airplanes?So he has to inspect those airships carefully to see which one has excellent craftsmanship?

One morning passed while getting in the car, driving the brakes and getting off the car.Zhuge Weidao opened his eyes this time. It turns out that cars can be so simple and so weird.But he is also relieved, just a Zhuge family has already produced so many "classic cars", how many "classic cars" are there in the whole country?This is really a bit of excitement in China's new energy vehicle market in later generations. But now there is no "Tesla" in the West, and it seems that they have never heard of Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW. Daming should be far ahead, and I am happy to think about it what!

While thinking about happy things, Zhuge Weidao waved his feather fan and walked into the "BIT" building that looked like a holy place under the watchful eyes of a group of "Zhuge Entrepreneurs". In the afternoon, he and other members of the military division will pay homage to the ancestor Zhuge Wuzhong there, and then go to the square outside the "Beijing Institute of Technology" building to accept the "Eight Hundred Zhuge" New Year greetings. After that, there will be more than 200 people. The table’s New Year’s Eve dinner (Babai Zhuge and their families), and finally setting off firecrackers, watching fireworks, watching the New Year’s Eve, and waiting for the New Year’s Day tomorrow. Full of flavor!
"Brother Hundred and Eight, you came just in time, come here quickly, and take a look at this."

As soon as Zhuge Weidao entered the room, he saw Zhuge Weijiu, the military strategist, beckoning him over with a feather fan, and seemed to be holding a telegram in his other hand.

Zhuge Weidao hurried forward, took the telegram from Zhuge Weijiu, looked down, frowned, and said: "Britain, France, Rakshasa, Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, Sweden, and the Kingdom of Sardinia are ready to They declared war on the Turkish Empire together? How could it be such a big move to fight a Turkey? Grandmaster, is this news accurate?"

Zhuge Weijiu said: "Look at who sent it?"

Zhuge Weidao looked down and read in a low voice: "Happy New Year, your dearest Marie Antoinette. It seems that the news is quite accurate!"

　Recommend a new urban novel, "The God of Abstinence" by "It Can't Be Trumpet"

　　Well, just looking at the title of the book, you can tell that it must be very abstinent. For those who don’t like driving, you can go and have a look. Is it really abstinent?
　　—— Recommended by Da Luoluo, it will definitely be popular!
