Chapter 174 Armored car concept.

Restart the Spanish chapter 174 armored vehicle concept.

“Next, I hope that you can provide me with a motorcycle that can be ridden by the public according to the drawings I designed.”

Alfonso XII said to Karl Benz and Daimler that the drawings of motorcycles are just some paintings based on the outlines of later motorcycles.

As for the design of motorcycles, Alfonso XII naturally did not understand, but he can still do it according to cats and tigers.

How to rationalize this motorcycle next is the work of Karl Benz and Daimler, and Alfonso XII does not want to interfere too much.

The motorcycle drawings for Daimler and Karl Benz are expected to be divided into two-wheeled single motorcycles and three-wheeled military motorcycles.

In fact, whether it is two rounds or three rounds, there is not much difference in the technical requirements, the only difference is shooting.

Compared with ordinary motorcycles, military motorcycles need to reserve places for machine guns or other military equipment.

And civilian motorcycles pay more attention to riding comfort.

The combination of the two is the motorcycle that Alfonso wants to see.

While waiting for the two motorcycles to be developed, the related production lines should also be ready to start.

With motorcycles, subsequent industrial facilities such as automobiles, ships, etc. driven by internal combustion engines will no longer be a dream, and will appear one after another.

“Your Majesty, I actually have a little idea about motorcycles.!”

Karl Benz said that in fact, two-wheeled motorcycles are not so stable in terms of balance and operability. Beginners must learn how to drive motorcycles.

“If we change the two wheels of the motorcycle to four wheels, and the middle is driven by an internal combustion engine, then anyone who has not received learning can drive a motorcycle!”

“Compared with two-wheeled motorcycles, this four-wheeled motorcycle must have more stability and safety.”

“We can even put fenders all around for protection from the wind and rain, which is almost a luxury upgrade compared to a motorcycle!”

Karl Benz said in high spirits, and told Alfonso the motorcycle he had imagined in his mind,

The idea of ​​a quad bike has been around since the motorcycle appeared.

But what he didn’t know was that the quad bike would later be called the great invention of the automobile.

Even Alfonso was slightly taken aback by Carl Benz’s idea.

To know that it will take several years before Karl Benz invented the car, and Karl Benz has already thought of this plan as soon as the motorcycle came out.

Before waiting for Alfonso to reply, Daimler next to Karl Benz stood up to explain the feasibility of the car to Alfonso.

“Your Majesty, we have absolute confidence that we can build this ideal vehicle.”

Daimler then looked at Castro and Campos.

“If this four-wheeled vehicle is made large enough, then I think it is an ideal transportation solution to transport troops and military supplies through it.”

“Although the current internal combustion engine power is not enough to meet this standard, I believe it will be possible soon!”

What Daimler said to the general was a naked temptation. You must know that all material transportation in Spain in the 19th century still relied on traditional carriages.

Not to mention the slow transportation speed, the materials needed are also extremely large, and the horses need to eat.

The transportation of military supplies has always been a huge problem in Spain,

The mountainous, hilly Spain is not like the Great Plains like Germany, and any means of transportation can flow unimpeded.

And once what Duo Meng said can become a reality, then for the Spanish army, a huge number of livestock will be able to retire directly.

“Your Majesty, let them try the research and development of four-wheeled vehicles. If it can be developed, it will have huge benefits and benefits for both the Spanish people and the Spanish army!”

Army general Campos couldn’t stand. He used to have motorcycles, an important means of transportation needed by the Spanish Army, and now he has proposed a truck template that makes the army drool.

The performance of the people present made Alfonso XII dumbfounded, because he never expressed his disagreement with the development of the car.

The performance of everyone present made him even doubt whether he had clearly opposed the development of cars before that.

In fact, it is no wonder that Daimler and Cambers think so much about such an important military weapon. If they cannot be equipped in the Spanish army, it will be a great loss for Spain.

“Of course I support the research and development of automobiles, but the power of the internal combustion engine is still a problem. I hope Mr. Daimler and Mr. Karl Benz will be vigilant in this regard!”

Alfonso 12 smiled, and then said that he was worried about Daimler and Campos, and laughed it off.

The research and development of automobiles can be said to be the top priority of Alfonso XII. Even if the Marine Corps prohibits the development, he will not let the development of the internal combustion engine be stagnant.

Although there were some laughs at the performance of the two, they still gave enough explanations.

The future development direction of Spain must be machinery, that is, the machinery industry chain driven by internal combustion engines.

Although trains and other means of transport still use old-fashioned steam engines, the internal combustion engine must be the future development trend. This is what history tells Alfonso.

If Spain wants to become strong, the development model based on the internal combustion engine must be indispensable.

“In this case, the government will provide multiple budgets for research on internal combustion engines. Next, I hope to see the development of internal combustion engines and get rapid enough results!”

“Whether it’s a motorcycle with two wheels or a car with four wheels, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer in the next two years!”

“Especially the 4-wheeled car you just mentioned. I think this model can be done in order from small to large to determine what kind of vehicle we need to meet the requirements of Spanish society!”

Alfonso ordered that the next step is to increase the research and development funds of internal combustion engines, which is related to the development of Spanish industry.

And they don’t want Karl Benz and Daimler to take the budget given by the government and do nothing.

Although it is acknowledged that Daimler and Karl Benz are experts in this field, Spain’s funds cannot be wasted.

While this may put some pressure on them, it’s about Spain’s national strength.

It is no longer allowed for the two of them to continue to maintain a relatively stable state in this matter.

“Of course, if your Majesty’s funding increases, we can increase the research on internal combustion engines faster, we can hire more assistants and use more materials for the research and development of internal combustion engines!”

Karl Benz heard nothing in his ears, but the only thing he cared about was the increase in funding.

In fact, the research and development funding for internal combustion engines is 10 cents generous, but leaders of any department are happy to increase funding, especially government units.

Any scientific research is very costly in terms of money and financial resources.

Now it is the research of the internal combustion engine, and the future electricity research led by Tesla is also one of the projects that Spain will pay a great price for.

Electricity, as well as the mechanical theme of the 2nd Industrial Revolution, is an essential strong foundation for any country.

Goblins made Alfonso XII imagine a scene where Spain is full of factories and workers with excellent welfare benefits.

As a European country with a narrow territory, only by transforming from an agricultural country to an industrial country can it truly complete the transformation of its power.

After all, Spain does not have a huge territory and a huge population like Russia, and it can become a European power through human sea tactics.

Beidi Pavilion

Spain’s weak population and narrow depth forced Spain to develop and industrialize to deal with various powerful foreign enemies.

“But the appearance of Carl Benz cars should be made more reasonable. Taking civilian cars as an example, it must be beautiful to promote people’s desire to consume, so as to ensure that our car factories will not go bankrupt.”

Karl Benz looked at it, Daimler wants to know Daimler, but the later car models of the design master were designed by Daimler himself.

In this regard, Daimler has a very high talent and a lot of experience. Fang said that he would not worry about it, but there must be some hints.

“This is Your Majesty, I will design this car into an aesthetic that can be compounded in the eyes of all the people!

”

Seeing that it was time for him to appear, Daimler swore to pat his chest and assured King Alfonso XII.

He already has a model of the car in his mind. As long as the power of the internal combustion engine is gradually increased, a car that can drive on the road normally will be available not far away.

But at present, even if the power of the internal combustion engine drives the light, the two motorcycles can only run less than 50 kilometers in an hour, which is far from enough for Alfonso.

Not to mention driving heavier cars.

“Your Excellency Campos doesn’t know what your requirements are for the car. If you can make some requirements, I think you can make a modification to the car used by the military according to your ideas!”

After hearing the words of King Alfonso XII, Daimler turned his head and asked Campos again. The military and civilian cars are definitely different. In this regard, he wanted to ask General Campos what he thought.

“In the case of the military, we hope to have at least some ability to guard against bullets, and to be able to drive normally on mountains or uneven roads!”

General Campos didn’t even dare to make excessive demands, but only hoped to get some protection on this basis.

In fact, this is not difficult for a car. If special armor is installed on the 4 weeks of the truck, it may only add a little weight, and it does not matter to the power burden of the internal combustion engine.

Campos even came up with the idea of ​​an armored car, which in 1877 was a nonsense, but at least provided a valid development route for the equipment of the Spanish Army.

Putting armor on the car to protect against bullets, is it possible to put a machine gun on the car to hit the enemy?

Is it possible to equip a cannon on a car?

In fact, the difference between any military equipment is just such a brain hole. If someone can take the lead in putting forward these ideas, the method of making them is actually not difficult.

In fact, for example, the British tanks are nothing more than the inventors’ brains and put cannons on the cars, which is the origin of the original tanks.

And when people find that rubber tires are not enough to deal with various geographical environments, if someone proposes the use of tracks again, it will definitely reduce most of the time.

And this happens to be the vision and experience that Alfonso XII brought from later generations, which can completely save Spain from taking a lot of detours.

In fact, for example, Edison’s electric light bulb, although Edison himself tried hundreds of materials, he finally determined tungsten wire as the material for power generation.

But if someone told him what materials to use for experiments from the beginning, I believe that Edison would take a lot less detours.

No matter what era, there are always many smart people, and what they lack in genius may be just a flash of inspiration.

This rule also applies to Karl Benz and Daimler~www.readmtl.com~ Maybe they are not geniuses, but if there is one person who can provide them with these ideas and inspiration, then they are bound to be few. Take a lot of detours.

In fact, it is not so much to use their ingenuity as to let them realize the strange fantasy in Alfonso XII’s mind.

Although it is a fantasy, the fantasy in Alfonso XII’s head can be said to be completely realized in the next century or two.

Although in the eyes of the people of this era, Alfonso’s various proposals are no different from wishful thinking, but Alfonso has such an unquestionable identity as a king.

This also means that Alfonso can let the following people pay for his fantasies at will in China.

If it is a faint-hearted prince to do this, he may be opposed by most of the people in the country.

But Alfonso, who has already taken all kinds of measures, obviously cannot be classified into the category of the faint-hearted.

Even some of the achievements that have been achieved, the proposal proposed by Alfonso XII is completely beyond the imagination of this era, and it is completely beneficial to the development of Spanish society.

This also eased the doubts and worries in the minds of many who wanted to oppose.

Now Spain can be said to be a big toy that Alfonso can play with at will.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. For Alfonso, he only needs to share the experience from later generations in his mind to everyone in the present, then he is a great king in the successful world.

Alfonso XII now just wants to get what he wants to do.
