Just when Jin Xiaoqiang was still worried about whether to release the high-performance version of this small steel cannon at this Detroit Auto Show, he received a call from two old men, Liu Hong and Liu Changshan.

As soon as he picked up the phone, he was almost shocked by the joyful voices of the two old men and his eardrums were pierced.

"Haha, Xiaoqiang, come here and take a look. Our military vehicle is almost finalized. We have almost completed the improvised explosive jamming device you told us about last time."

Old man Liu Changshan shouted excitedly to Jin Xiaoqiang on the phone. Jin Xiaoqiang had to put the receiver of the phone away from his ears to hear clearly what the two old men said.

"What? That's really great. I'll go there right away."

After hearing what the two old men said, Jin Xiaoqiang was also happy. This is good news. After completing the improvised explosive interference device, the current military armor can basically be finalized. It will be ready by then.

Delivered to the military for use.

After all, this is not a civilian version of the car, but the first military version produced by Huayang Power for the military. Therefore, the actual vehicle inspection of this car can be said to be very strict, and it has to go through the extreme environment.

The test is simply unimaginable for ordinary civilian versions of cars.

Fortunately, judging from how happy the two old men are, this car has passed Huayang Power's own inspection, and their inspection standards are even stricter than the military's. Since it has passed their inspection

Acceptance, then the military should definitely have nothing to say.

Different from the luxury civilian protective armored vehicle on the market, this military version should be the real essence of the armored vehicle, because there are too many new technologies in this vehicle.

When Jin Xiaoqiang thought of that new military version of the car, his heart was so excited that he didn't care about other work. He just picked up the keys, put on his down jacket, braved the severe cold outside, and drove directly to the other side of their factory.

The tractor factory rushed over.

Because of confidentiality, when they were developing this military version of the armor for the military, Jin Xiaoqiang deliberately rented the site of an abandoned tractor factory not far from their current factory as a military use

In the research and development site of the armor, Liu Changshan, Liu Hong, and some other engineering teams have been working there for more than a year.

The most important task is to study the research and development of military vehicles and obtain and master the military's requirements and standards for special vehicles.

When the tough-guy Type II off-road vehicle driven by Xiaoqiang arrived at the Special Vehicle Research Institute where Liu Changshan and Mr. Liu Hong were working, outside the gate, Jin Xiaoqiang had already seen the dark and sturdy vehicles parked at the entrance of the experimental building from a distance.

Big guy.

As the car got closer and closer, Jin Xiaoqiang sighed in his heart from time to time. These two old men were really having too much fun. Looking at the big cars in front of him, Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't believe that this was him.

Have you designed that armor yet?

The armor he designed was originally based on the Cavalier XV developed by the Canadian Conquest Company. However, in fact, the Cavalier XV was first created because the US military's Hummer model was used in Afghanistan and Iraq.

After being blown up by simple roadside bombs by those who were anti-U.S. military, the U.S. Department of Defense really couldn't stand it anymore. After several studies, they finally concluded that the Hummer Jeep could no longer keep up with the situation and was out of date. The protection of this vehicle

The ability was too poor, so they decided to invite bids nationwide and began to look for a suitable replacement for the new Hummer.

In this way, in order to obtain an order from the Department of Defense, the American battle helmet company began to design this new light all-terrain off-road vehicle named Gurkha.

This car uses the chassis of the Ford F550 pickup truck, adds 6 tons of armor, and uses a Ford engine. It looks very similar, and was purchased in small batches by the U.S. Department of Defense.

But before this Gurkha model light tactical armored vehicle could go to the battlefield to experience the taste of an Iraqi roadside bomb, this model was relegated to the sidelines by the US military.

As the saying goes, success depends on failure. It turns out that the chassis of Ford's F550 pickup truck is very good, and it is true. In the current US government, there are many vehicles using the chassis of this car.

But when Ford sells technology to foreign countries, it keeps a careful eye on it, because the United States is also their big customer, so how can they easily sell the real core technology to their competitors?

So when they sold the Ford F550 chassis required by War Helmet Company to War Helmet Company, what they bought was a second-tier product exclusively for export with a vest brand like Oshkosh. Compared to the real first-class products, they

Of course, some unique features will be retained.

In this way, this chassis equipped on the Gurkha body, with an unladen body weighing 6.5 tons and a fully loaded load of up to eight tons, performed appallingly in terms of off-road capabilities, which ultimately made the U.S. side unable to

I will not give up purchasing this model.

However, for the battle helmet company that had spent a lot of money to introduce technology from Ford, if it could not get an order from the U.S. Department of Defense, the consequences for the company would undoubtedly be miserable, so they gritted their teeth and registered it in Canada.

A conquest company specializing in the production of top-grade protective luxury cars for civilian use, so it was under such circumstances that the Knight XV was born.

When Jin Xiaoqiang first designed this armor, he mainly imitated the appearance of the Knight XV, but in terms of chassis, he did not dare to copy the Ford F550 pickup truck used in this car.

After all, this car was eliminated by the United States because of this chassis, so he invited Liu Changshan, our talented military vehicle designer from Wuhan, from Wuhan.

This old man worked in both FAW and Second Automobile Works, and what he did in these two companies was the research and development and design of military vehicles. Later, after leaving these two companies, and after he made a small fortune in import and export,

He specifically started to develop military vehicles, and later developed a military vehicle called Xiaolong for our Chinese dynasty.

To be honest, Jin Xiaoqiang really doesn't like that Xiaolong, because in terms of appearance and function, every car can almost be said to be a copy of the Hummer. However, when the Hummer is destined to be eliminated internationally, it is so backward in research and development.

What’s the use of products that are older than others?

However, the Xiaolong is not without its merits. The most unique thing about the Xiaolong is its chassis. It is this chassis that makes the Xiaolong have stronger off-road capabilities than the Hummer.

Although the design concept of this chassis is also a copycat of the technology of German Mercedes-Benz Umonik, but no matter what, we still developed this technology ourselves, and this technology was born by Liu Changshan.

In his hands, this was also the main reason why Jin Xiaoqiang invited him back in the first place.

He just hopes that Mr. Liu Changshan can design a more suitable chassis for this armor. You must know that this armor is different from the Xiaolong he designed in his previous life.

That Xiaolong is modeled after the Hummer in terms of size, weight, and load-bearing capacity. How much does the Hummer weigh?

The ordinary model is only two and a half tons, and the maximum weight is only five tons after the load is loaded. However, the armor that Jin Xiaoqiang has developed now has a dead weight of six and a half tons. If it is loaded with a load, it will be very heavy.

It may reach nine tons, and if the maximum load is adopted, it may even reach a full weight of ten tons.

As a result, this car is twice as big as the original Hummer or Xiaolong, and its load-bearing capacity is more than double that of the Hummer.

If this vehicle goes to the battlefield, it can not only be used as a firepower output platform, but also become a new type of mine-proof and bullet-proof off-road transport vehicle. When necessary, it can also become a command vehicle.

So many demands have resulted in very strict requirements for the chassis of this military armor. Fortunately, Mr. Liu Changshan did not disappoint Jin Xiaoqiang. Not long after he joined this project, he came up with the design of the wheel-side deceleration gate bridge.

, greatly improving the overall off-road capability of the vehicle.

Moreover, with the help of Huayang Power's abundant funds, he also learned about the central charging and deflating system of the car that had always troubled him, and also integrated the transmission and transfer case technology he developed in his previous life, which soon became

It was conquered and made an indescribable contribution to the development of military armor.

And Mr. Liu Hong, the more he cooperates with Liu Changshan, the happier he is. When he first came to participate in this project, his main task was to find a suitable engine for such a big guy.

The first thing they equipped this car with was a diesel engine. In fact, China's high-power diesel engines have never been technologically advanced. The oil extraction units used in key models have to be purchased from Cummins in the United States.

The old man has been following Cummins for a lifetime, but there are still quite a few copycats of oil production machines that have not come out. But now with the financial and technical support of Huayang Power, the old man can get a taste of his long-cherished wish this time, and in a large number of copycats

While using the Cummins engine, he and Liu Changshan also modified this armored vehicle in various ways, making this vehicle an ever-changing King Kong in our army, suitable for various needs.
