Chapter 520 (1/2)
On earth, the scientific and technological content of motorcycles is not low. If anyone says that he can imitate a motorcycle from scratch within a day, it is better to drink too much.
But in prandal, the power of magic, coupled with Donne's plug-in alchemy, made all this possible.
When two motorcycles were placed in the Research Institute and asked them to disassemble for research, the little partners in the research institute were stunned.
”Never seen before! It's really something never seen before!”
After listening to the function, Brian turned around the motorcycle for several times, his eyes shining, and he couldn't wait to have a try.
Unfortunately, this is designed according to the human body shape. It is too high for dwarves. They can't reach the ground when riding. They can't keep their balance at all. Flying motorcycles can play, but they can't fly high - in other words, flying motorcycles are also a chicken rib for dwarves, because no dwarves are willing to leave the ground
”Lord, it's, it's --”
Edgar held back for a long time, but he didn't hold out an adjective. Finally, he could only sigh and say, ”Lord, you must be the son of God - only the son of God can have such a talented idea and ability!”
The bicycle designed previously has been widely praised. Due to the low price strategy and purchase subsidies implemented in the territory, almost every family who can't afford horses now has a bicycle.
The emergence of bicycles has greatly reduced people's commuting time on the road. The improvement of personnel flow speed has also accelerated the level of economy and trade and improved the economic vitality within the territory.
In addition, asphalt roads have been paved from Ellington to the surrounding villages and towns, which greatly improves the activity range of residents in Ellington.
In the past, many people never left the village where they were born. Now, they can run back and forth between the village and Ellington in only one day, which was unthinkable for families who could not afford horses in the past.
The average speed of normal horses (non war horses and horse racing) can be maintained at about 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. Under normal load, they can run continuously for one or two hours before resting. However, the price of a horse is as high as 100 gold coins. In addition, the forage fed on weekdays is different. Even ordinary hay needs to consume at least 50 silver coins.
According to individual physical strength, the speed of high-quality and cheap bicycles is generally between 15 and 25 kilometers per hour. Adult men who often work and are healthy can ride for several hours continuously. The market price is only 10 gold coins. The low price strategy is implemented in Ellington with a 20% discount and a transportation subsidy of one gold coin. Therefore, the actual starting price is only seven gold coins, The most important thing is that there is no subsequent maintenance cost for bicycles.
Because tire inflation is free, tire mending is only a silver coin, and the lubricating oil on the bearing can't use a few copper plates. In comparison, of course, bicycles are much more affordable than carriages.
Now, the birth of motorcycles will speed up people's pace again.
Fiona said excitedly: ”Floor mounted motorcycles are equivalent to a combination of the cost performance of bicycles, the speed of horses, carrying gravity, human endurance and other advantages. They are not only fast, but also can carry enough things, whether buying vegetables or transporting a small amount of goods. Once mass production is really implemented and promoted to the market, it can be predicted that they will be very popular.”
”On the asphalt road, the top speed of this floor mounted motorcycle can even reach 80km / h, far exceeding the short-range charging speed of the war horse. The most important thing is that it won't be tired and can maintain this speed all the time! At this speed, we can even run through several villages in Ellington in one day!”
”Because the characteristics of this product are so excellent, I think the price can be set slightly higher. After deducting the costs of R & D and materials, 500 gold coins is a very good price, which is higher than ordinary horses, but much cheaper than those war horses with excellent blood lineage, which can produce enough attraction.”
”As for this kind of flying motorcycle, I think it is necessary for us to ban external sales for the time being.”
Fiona and Aurelia rarely maintain the same view on this point.
Aurelia said: ”the flying motorcycle is no longer a simple vehicle. If used well, it can become a sharp weapon in war. Rangers can not only keep moving at high speed, but also have great advantages in looking down from high altitude.”
Fiona nodded: ”yes, at the speed of the flying motorcycle, flying Warcraft below level 5 can do nothing about it. Rangers can easily complete the investigation work, even launch an attack in the air, and the enemies on the ground will be powerless.”
”That's it.”
Donne waved and said, ”the landing motorcycle is named Harley and costs 500 gold coins. However, after the production line is completed, it will be produced for its own use and will not be sold for the time being. At least after Gillard's business is over.”
”The flying motorcycle is named comet and temporarily designated as military equipment. After the production line is completed, it will be handed over to Haley and they will be responsible for the production.”
