Top wind, snow, Snow, East, Single Bicycle, United States Self-driving Tour

[Car News Network report] January 2020, I went to New York from Beijing, and clockwise around the United States to turn a large half, passing through 28 states, driving 14,000 kilometers. Although just take the horse, the impression in the mind is a one-word right side, and it is quite a lot. The last tour said that in the way, the snow was blocked. The records recorded in this article are after the road is opened, continue to go to the airport on time, as well as seeing on Detroit, Niagara, etc.

Because the road is closed, after 2 days, it is finally opened to continue. From Rockz Prince, there is 413 kilometers of driving, arriving in Xia Yan, North American Air Defense Command is here. At this time, the sky was clouded and the snow began to float.

Bi afraid that the road is closed again, did not dare to stay until leaving Wyoming, enter Nebraska. Soon, after a city called LDQUO; Sydney Rdquo, I found a car hotel to rest. From the summer, it will be 162 kilometers away here.

On the 26th, I will start early in the morning. There is no tour content today, driving all day. I have a discounted, as long as I can go to Chicago in the evening, I will guarantee it in the future.

From LDQUO; Sydney RDQUO; counts, driving 620 km, to Omaha. This city is close to the Missouri River, essentially the intermediate position of the East Coast and the West Coast. Known as ldquo; Buffett, Buffett, is here, and he has been living here, his company is here.

After entering the urban area, it is seen from the way along the way, and most of this single-family cottage is very quiet. It has been reported that Buffett believes that in an environment where it is too marketized, it is easy to be stimulated, thus making an over-excited reaction. So, any environment that stimulates you, you should stay away.

I came here, it was for the railway. The last guide tells you the story of the Pacific Railway, thisThe west section of the railway is the road section of the joint Pacific Company, which is the starting point, and it is easy to lay east. Later, the United States turned to aviation, railway, especially rail passenger transport, which fell very powerful. This old brilliant station has now become a museum, the railway behind, there is nothing left.

After Omaha, there is not much, enter Iowa, and go east, is Illinois.

Because I have to drive 1400 kilometers today, I rarely stop. This distance is nothing wrong with me. I often drive from Beijing to Nanjing. Shanghai is all in the evening. As for further places, such as Chengdu, Xining, usually in the second half, such as three or four points, can be opened. Someone asked me why I can arrive so far, I guess it is probably 2 reasons: one is to sit, if today, I have to write a draft in the office, I can sit in the morning, I can sit in the morning; I am gotting, no matter how many things are crushing, I am not anxious, and I do one piece, when I finished it. I am in a hurry, sigh, only to defeat my mood, nothing to do. For another thing, how far is it still? I never asked. The heart is full of gas and slowly. Urgently useless.

The service area appeared on this road, which accurately said that the parking area, in addition to the bathroom, no other. Come on, if you eat, you have to have an exit.

At around 7 o’clock, next to Chicago, I started snowing, I saw four traffic accidents in 2 hours; mdash; all slipped to the roadside, drop Involved in the drainage ditch. At this time, the evening peak, the road is multi-pole, but because it is the insideway, the speed is not bad, it is basically around 40-60 km. From the road conditions, enter the road to Chicago to the north. So I decided to give up Chicago and continue to go to the East and go straight to Detroit. I have gone away, the snow is getting bigger and bigger, in order to protect the safety, parking accommodation. From the map, you are not far from the north, from Omaha, it is 770 km.

On the 27th, in the morning, the snow stopped, because many melting snow agents were sprinkled, the road was not easy, and it was still good. Drive 400 kilometers and come to Detroit.

When there is still a distance from Detroit, I first came to Dierbern mdash; mdash; here is the location of Ford Motors. When I read the autobich of Alcoka, I firmly remembered this place name. Dierburn is the same as that of the United States, although the size of the city center is not large, but commercial facilities are available, and there are parking spaces in front of the door, which gives people a convenient and comfortable feel.

The other side of the urban area is a Ford Automobile R & D center that covers an area. There is no door to the gate, just enter.

Opposite the R & D center, is the Ford Auto Museum, and then walks deep, is Henry Middot; Ford’s former.

Ford Motor is Henry MIDDOT; Ford is founded in 1903. In the third year of startup, it has begun to build a large-scale red brick building. This building is in good condition and is worth visiting.

The office of Mr. Ford is also saved in the order.

In the workshop, many old cars are displayed, and they are placed in the order of birth.

The first two are racing, 999 and the flying arrow mdash; mdash; this is made by Mr. Ford just started to start business. The car is worth 1240 kg, the power is 80 horsepower, in the game, set a record of 147 km / h.

The first mass production vehicle is a type A vehicle. Equipped with 2-cylinder horizontal opposing engines, maximum power 8 hp, double-speed transmission, axial distance of 1829 mm, 562 kg of weight, 48 kilometers, priced at $ 900, and sold 677 in the first year. [123

Subsequently, three cars were launched in succession of MDash; mdash; B, C, and F-type. Among them, the B-type car equipment is 4-cylinder engine, the maximum power is 24 horsepower, and the weight is 771 kg. The car has created 800 vehicles in 1904, with a price of $ 2,000 (about $ 2 at the time of US workers).

The C-vehicle born at the same time and the B-type car is an improved version of the A-vehicle. Also equipped with 2-cylinder horizontal opposing engine, the initial maximum power is 8 horsepower, and then rose to 10 horsepower. The car has manufactured 800 vehicles in 1904 and 1905, and the initial price of $ 850, and the horsepower increased to $ 950.

There is also an F-vehicle in the same year. Power 2-cylinder horizontal opposing engine, maximum power is 12 horsepower, with he weighs 635 kg. The car has manufactured 8,729 in 1906, priced at $ 1200.

In 1906, the N-type car was launched. The maximum power is 15 horsepower, with a 363 kg of weight, priced at $ 1,500. From it, the 2-cylinder engine is eliminated, all changed to 4-cylinder engines.

In 1907, R-type cars were launched. The maximum power is 15 horsepower, the highest speed is 72 kilometers, with a self 363 kg, priced at $ 750, and 14887 were produced.

At the same time as the R model, there is also a S-vehicle, the maximum power is 15 horsepower, with a self-weighing 499 kg, manufactured by 2,350 units in the same year, priced at $ 700.

In 1908, the K-type car is launched, the axis is 3048 mm, equipped with 6-cylinder engine, maximum power 40 hp, 97 km, with high weight of 1090 kg, price of $ 2,800 .

Despite the first-class performance of K-type cars, superb workmanship, luxurious equipment, but Mr. Ford seems to itI am not interested. He believes that only for the public, the company can continue to develop. This point is exactly the same as Hitler, Toyota Xichiro, so Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, has developed successively.

In this way, Ford Motors from 1903 to 1908, from A to K, have launched 8 cars. The experience of these 8 cars, at the end of 1908, launched a T-vehicle, priced at $ 850.

T-type car equipment 4-cylinder engine, maximum power 22 horsepower, 544 kg of weight. Compared with the previous Ford Motor, this is a new car MDash; mdash; uses a three-point suspension, more suitable for rugged road conditions. In terms of power, a double-speed planetary gear transmission is used and an electric starter is equipped. The body part includes wood, steel, aluminum, 5 models optional (travel vehicle, convertible, coupe, urban car, small car).

The T-vehicle has just launched, and 10,660 vehicles have been made in 1909, which is huge success. The output was increased to 35,000, and the workers increased from 1908 to 4,110, and the factory area increased from 16 mu to 194 acres.

Although the T-vehicle is very successful, Ford is still constantly improving it. On the one hand, it is a better material (such as vanadium steel application), on the one hand Reduce costs (such as all of the initial T-cars are red, and later changed to all black.) Multi-playback, making the T-vehicle price decline, entry-level models even drop to $ 260 (1914 Fugentian anniversary 5 USD).

Since 1923, the production of T-caids declined. In 1927, the T-car is more equipped, the price is only $ 495, but competing with competition Compared with your opponent, it still looks very down. As a result, Ford was manufactured in the 15007033 T-Types of the factory in the factory of the Detroit Highland Park, 1927. At this point, a generation of famous carts have been drawn.

The economy is developed, from circulation. Mr. Ford is a person who is installed on the USA. Due to his creation, let the car entered the ordinary people, let the US economy circulation, achieving unprecedented speed. The T-car represents the most advanced technology and management in that era, making great contributions to the automotive throughout the world. Therefore, in the world’s most influential vehicle global votes, the Ford T-vehicle is the top of the list.

Look at the Ford car, came to the Detroit City. There is a river here, opposite another country mdash; mdash; Canada.

The river, there is a high building, called the Renaissance Center, the headquarters of General Motors is here. This modern architecture has a strong contrast with many old-fashioned buildings around.

General Motor Company’s predecessor is Buick Motor, a businessman named Durant to buy it, and takes a large-scale expanded business route, merged at the US Most car manufacturers, and famous automotive (GM). General companies also have a museum, but only the group, I only have one person, I can’t visit, quite regret.

The first layer of the building and the second floor, according to the brand, divided into several display areas, such as Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac. All the way, the GM, the GM, the Snowfocencing is the highest.

After the general headquarters wandered by a circle, it was 4 o’clock in the afternoon, in order not to waste time, I didn’t He is overnight, but it continues to travel, Ground, St. Niagara. The most recent route from Detroit to Niagara is from Canada, only 370 kilometers, but I have no Canadian visa, I have to detour in the United States, this lap is 620 km. I have been driving at 10:00, I have gone 520 kilometers, a little sleepy, at this time, after a place called LDQUO; Dunlik RDQUO; parking rest.

No. 28 days, the weather is the same as yesterday, it is still gloomy, and the snow will fall from time to time.

After an hour, it came to Niagara, which is still the junction of the United States and Canada. Walk along the road, if you don’t pay attention, just cross-border, go abroad.

To Niagara is to see the waterfall, but the luck is not good, the weather is too bad, can only look at it. This is a multinational waterfall, the middle of the two countries is the island, the west side of the island is the main waterfall, which belongs to Canada; the east side of the island is ldquo; deputy water rDQUO; Want to see panorama, or take the boat or go to Canada. Because, regardless of the main waterfall or ldquo; Deputy Waterfall RDQUO;

Although it is a silhouette, the sound of water is like a thunder ear, the momentum is like a rainbow, extremely shocking. I have stayed here for a few hours, I didn’t encounter a person. The weather is very cold, I have been snowing, so I didn’t dare to take out the camera, just took a few mobile phones.

Niagara Falls belong to New York, but there is still 680 kilometers from New York City. This road is difficult to open for 1 day. So, after lunch, I left and saved in the direction of New York.

The first more than 300 kilometers of 680 km, almost all in the snow, many roads have not sprinkled snow agents, so they need to be careful.

Some villages and towns passed along the way, they appeared very beautiful. Especially in the snow, there are more fairy tale colors.

occasionally, it will pass through the town. Once, I saw the starbucks in the supermarket, and I was sitting in a meeting. There are very many different chains in the United States, covering special, regardless of supermarkets, fast food restaurants, or hotels, gas stations, where they can see familiar brands. ThisI am probably a help of consumption. In this way, it is also possible, the so-called difference between the first and second trip cities and the countryside is not that obvious, which is conducive to comprehensive development, rather than the big cities and small towns.

At the time of dusk, arrived in a city called Bimhamton, a large scale. Inquiry on booking, there is a lot of hotels in this place.

Seeing this $ 47 hotel is not bad, immediately set a single room. Some people also want to be free to play, but they will never dare to travel because they are worried about traffic and accommodation. In fact, these live children are on the phone, but it is intertwined, and the screen is completely solved. So, I am very wonderful, so many people holding mobile phones every day, why only use it as a pastime, not to make full use of its value? As in this series of travels, I don’t need mobile phones in Beijing, I don’t need mobile phones, but in travel, I will play its role to the extreme.

On the 29th day, I chose to stay in Binghamton last night, it seems wise. Today, I went to the street near the hotel and found that this city is really beautiful.

The streets in the city center are mostly an old building. Walking there, as if it came to the medieval.

What makes me feel happy is that the sun came out. A swept yesterday, the mood is also happy.

Himhamton is located in a very open valley, and there are also many homes around the hillside, because there is sunlight and snow, and the scenery of this is beautiful.

Leaving the Bin Ommon, driving 230 km, came to the West Point Military Academy. I haven’t arrived in front of the military school. There is a post on the road. I don’t allow access to it and I am told that I can visit the Military Museum, parking and visit are free.

Shortly after the founding of the United States, the military school was established. The name is very good. Just listed several graduates, it proves that this mdash; mdash; Barton, Mike Arthur, Eisenhower, Panxing, Sherman. The first three astronauts on the 11th of the first moon, two graduates of West Point.

In the development of leaders, West Point Military Academy is known as the best. It is said that since World War, it has cultivated more than 1,000 chairman and more than 5,000 executives, this achievement, exceeding the general business school. By the way, there is still a very famous Virginia Military Academy, Sun Li, Liang Qichao’s son Liang Sizhong, is the graduation.

Military school museum is very rich, on the one hand is a very systematic system, very complete; on the other hand, precious cultural relics are also a lot. For example, this is a pistol of Hitler. In 1945, a US military was discovered in Munich, and he had been privately collected, and later donated to the museum.

This is the dagger in Mucori. 1945, the mountains were obtained in the Mosoni Villa, and they have been collected by private, and later handed over to the museum.

This is the revolver of Golin, which is carried when the Allies arrested in 1945. Gollin is closely related to Hitler, and even is set as a successor. The inexperienced Gai Shi is what he created. After the Second World War, the trial was tried, and he was sentenced to it, but he committed suicide in advance.

This is a tank mdash; mdash; M1917, 6 tons, with 30 mm artillery. In 1926, this tank was deployed to Tianjin, Shanghai and other places in my country, and equipped with the Marine Corps.

This is a replica of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, the size is the same as the original.

The back of the military school museum is the Hudson River. IfThe boat can be drawn to New York mdash; mdash; the linear distance is only more than 60 kilometers.

The town of the military school museum, one side is a river, one side is a mountain, surrounding the woods, the scenery is good.

At this time, it is 4 o’clock in the afternoon, take off at home, and 16 hours, but I still have a very important thing: buy a mask. Still in the West Coast, my leaders told me that there is an epidemic in China, and the infection speed seems to be much better than the SARS. Be sure to buy a mask, put on the plane. So, as long as you see CVS on the road, enter to find, you can place a mask every time it is empty.

CVS is a chain pharmacies in the United States (there are other products), a circle of guanle, which is almost everywhere, it is said to have more than 9,600. Fortunately, when I was about to go home, a CVS near the West Point Military Academy finally bought a mask.

From West Point Military Academy to New York, always along the Hudson River. There was a river in the middle, charge 2 US dollars. At dusk, after a town, it was 63 kilometers away from the airport, and it was not bad, and he left. First, remove the various brackets on the installation vehicle, then the baggage, busy to pick up it.

Day 30, flight is 8 o’clock in the morning, in order to insurance, I will start at 4 o’clock in the morning.

The road is very smooth, 5:30, come to the car rental store near the airport, the instrument shows that the total mileage of the United States is 8866.6 mi, equivalent to 14269.4 km. .

When I drive from the West Coast to the East Coast, my leader asked me a few times, the news said that the flight between China and the United States stopped, what do you do?

I know. Listen to the day of life.

Fortunately, the flight I reservations is still flying normally. [123After the value of the value, there is still a lot of time, wandering in the terminal in the terminal, MDash; US-British and other countries are the same as domestic flights, only security, no border inspection, so very time.

After boarding, I saw a plane, because the epidemic became empty, and it was full of Dangdang in the plane.

This time, a beautiful trip, although in the East coast mdash; mdash; that is, the 13 colonies of the past, it is a little more, but overall, It belongs to the view of the horse, and a more grassroots. This can thus obtain a comparative system impression. This is a few years ago. Our family has had a self-driving tour of the river to Sanya. In fact, there are many places along the way, but they all have a fragment. From the head to the end, I will walk down, connect a piece of fragment. , The impression is clearer, and the harvest is bigger. It is like a series of consecutive dramas.

Reading can enrich the mind and make you smart, not so easy to be fooled. Traveling can make the contents of the book, the impression of the mind, and more realistic. After all, some books are subjective, some impressions are not necessarily accurate, only to walk away, go see, will get their own insights, not with the wave, people cloud.
