reborn industrial empire

In later generations, the U.S. military once adopted the Fifteenth as a future replacement for the Hummer. However, the purchase plan was canceled before this vehicle could be purchased on a large scale by the U.S. military.

The reason is not for anything else, but because the off-road capability of this car is too poor. The original chassis of the Cavalier XV was based on the chassis of Ford's road monster F550 pickup truck.

Logically speaking, it is not too bad, but on such a chassis, a body weighing several tons is installed, and the engine of this car is also from the Ford Raptor, so in comparison,

This car seems a bit lacking both in terms of power and chassis.

In this life, Jin Xiaoqiang plans to copy this model, and in order to enhance its protective capabilities, he plans to make the body similar to the original shape of the Cavalier XV. In this way, the original chassis of this car seems a bit inadequate.

.

As for the engine, Jin Xiaoqiang is not particularly worried. After all, their company has Mr. Liu, who has been immersed in diesel engines for almost his whole life. After Jin Xiaoqiang made several key breakthroughs,

If he is responsible for researching high-power diesel engines, he will feel relieved.

After all, the old man’s skills are still very solid, and with the assistance of the in-cylinder direct injection and turbocharging technologies provided by Jin Xiaoqiang, he can develop a car that can provide power for a 6-ton machine.

The engine should not be a problem.

But the most critical thing now is chassis technology. Developing a chassis for a military vehicle is different from that of a civilian vehicle.

The requirements that civilian cars pay attention to such as grip, no loss of cornering speed, driving comfort, etc. are all inapplicable to military vehicles.

Vehicle body wind resistance and the like are of no benefit to military vehicles. The requirements for the territory of military vehicles are very simple.

Practical, durable, good passability and flexible control!

Just a few points, these points seem very simple, but if you do it, it will be much more difficult, especially the one about passing sex.

You must know that when a military vehicle is in combat status, if it is equipped with armor, the combat weight of the vehicle plus combat members and equipment may reach 6 tons, or about 7 tons.

.

Under such a premise, you also need to ensure the vehicle's passability and flexible control, which is really a very difficult task. In this regard, although Jin Xiaoqiang can claim to be a car expert in his previous life.

But if he was asked to train and design such a qualified chassis, he really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to complete the task.

This was also the main reason why he invited Liu Changshan to come over. It was because the Xiaolong he designed in his previous life was very unique and even unparalleled in terms of controllability.

It was this designer's design that enabled the Xiaolong that was born in later generations to be able to climb a 45-degree steep slope, climb a 550 mm step, and cross a 700 mm trench. It completely beat the Hummer in terms of off-road performance.

Its performance is even comparable to that of Umonik, which is known as the best off-road vehicle in the world. It is said that as long as a tank can go, we can go.

And the reason why that Xiaolong is so outstanding is entirely because of Liu Changshan’s chassis design.

When this old man was tuning the chassis of the Xiaolong, he also overcame the technical blockade of Mercedes-Benz and developed the design of the wheel-side deceleration gate bridge. It is this design that gives the Xiaolong its unparalleled off-road capabilities.

.

That technology is to add a reduction gear between the axle head of the wheel half shaft and the wheel axle, so that when off-road, the axle can be raised, thereby raising the body and increasing the ground clearance of the body.

Purpose.

This kind of technology has only been used in Umonik.

In addition, the central inflation and deflation system he independently developed is also unique. When military vehicles participate in battles in different terrain conditions, they need to face various terrains, such as sand, snow, mud, or

When encountering different terrains such as craters, the on-board computer will inflate and deflate the tires according to needs to adapt to various ground conditions.

Integrating the gearbox and transfer case is even more of a bright spot. This will make the structure of the gearbox simpler, reduce manufacturing costs, reduce the number of parts, facilitate maintenance, and reduce the weight of the body.

self-weight, and allows more parts to be common across the entire vehicle series.

These are all the work of Liu Changshan, so in Jin Xiaoqiang's opinion, this designer is an out-and-out genius.

Although the Xiaolong military vehicle he developed in later generations was very successful in terms of performance, it was not widely adopted by our country's troops, mainly because he did not have a strong connection within the army, which made Jin Xiaoqiang feel a little regretful.

But this life is different. In this life, people from the military first found Huayang Dynamics and asked them to help develop a new type of combat vehicle.

If this old man Liu Changshan can shine here, then those sparkling designs he had in his previous life will definitely be accepted by the army in large numbers along with the products of Huayang Dynamics, and thus be widely used.

After hearing Jin Xiaoqiang's introduction to Liu Changshan, and Liu Changshan himself having a history of designing military off-road vehicles, and his views on military off-road vehicles, Qian Longjiang also started to think about this.

Liu Changshan was relieved.

In their opinion, this old man is really a person. He has his own opinions on their military combat vehicles. He seems to be a well-educated person, not just a fool who can only talk nonsense.

Several people were very interested in that military vehicle, so they began to talk freely. After chatting for a while, Qian Longjiang noticed that it turned out that they were just chatting about the vehicle, and they actually asked the man from the Navy General Armament Department.

Meng Qiang who came over was left alone.

So he hurriedly coughed twice in embarrassment, and then said to Jin Xiaoqiang.

"Oh, it's true, Xiaoqiang, you see, we are just here talking about military vehicles, and we actually threw Meng Qiang and Director Meng from the Navy aside. It's true..."

"Oh, no, oh, I'm so sorry, Director Meng, please don't take it off. We all got excited when we mentioned this car just now. This... it's really..."

After being reminded by Qian Longjiang, Jin Xiaoqiang noticed that Meng Qiang was sitting next to them, listening to them blowing water for a long time.

He couldn't offend the great man from the navy, so he quickly got up and apologized sincerely, and even filled the cup of tea himself.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I don't know much about cars, even military vehicles. I just listened to you guys chatting and I gained a lot of knowledge, haha."

Director Meng was very open-minded and did not show any anger. Jin Xiaoqiang felt relieved after seeing this and hurriedly said.

"Hey, this conversation has already gone into the evening. It's getting dark outside. Come on, let's go have a meal first and talk about it when we get back."

It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when Qian Longjiang and the others arrived. They had just lost track of time while chatting. Jin Xiaoqiang looked up and noticed that it was already dark now.

It's November in the north now, and it gets dark very early. When I looked at my watch, it was already past five o'clock, so I quickly invited Qian Longjiang, Meng Qiang, and the others out for dinner.

These people were not polite to Jin Xiaoqiang. When they left the office building, Jin Xiaoqiang specifically asked Alice to call Mr. Liu Hong together. The old man had been studying high-power diesel engines recently, forgetting sleep and eating, so he spent all day in the

In the laboratory, he tinkered with the diesel engine with his students, and he didn't leave the laboratory all day long if he had nothing to do.

Now that Qian Longjiang and the others are here, they have to invite the old man to have a meal together.

So Jin Xiaoqiang, Qian Longjiang, Meng Qiang, Pan Yifan, Liu Changshan, Zeng Jianxin, Liu Hong, and Alice arrived at a hotel in the center of the provincial city and took a dip in the hotel.

Dayton.

Because he had something to discuss with Meng Qiang later, Jin Xiaoqiang didn't drink much, but Qian Longjiang, Liu Hong, and Liu Changshan drank a lot. Anyway, the military vehicle issue was already settled.

They had nothing to worry about, so they let go and drank happily.

By the time they finished drinking, it was already past nine o'clock. Qian Longjiang and Pan Yifan went to stay at the military area guest house in the provincial capital, while Liu Hong and Liu Changshan went back to their homes and dormitories respectively.

As for Alice, she accompanied Jin Xiaoqiang and Meng Qiang back to the company. Although it was already evening, the nature of their work was quite intensive, and neither of them were procrastinators, so they planned to talk about the matter today.

clear.

After returning to Jin Xiaoqiang's office, Jin Xiaoqiang asked Alice to serve two cups of tea to the two of them, and then told her to watch outside and not let anyone in, and then started communicating with Meng Qiang.

Just now, Meng Qiang remained silent in front of so many people, so Jin Xiaoqiang was sure that he must have something very important to discuss with him.

"Haha, there is no one around now, Director Meng. Just tell me, why did you come to me this time?"

Meng Qiang glanced at Jin Xiaoqiang. Although Meng Qiang had been drinking a lot just now, he was still able to stay awake at this time, which showed this man's alertness.

"Mr. Jin, the reason why I came to see you this time is actually mainly related to what you said at the Frankfurt Motor Show."

"Oh? I said a lot. At that time, what did you mean?"

"You said that your company can produce super-hard alloy steel..."
