Automotive Black Technology Chapter 337: : Minimalist version of the steel behemoth
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
Li Fanyu’s estimate of the progress is still accurate.
After the modeling part is completed and several key assembly parts pass the test, he will input the data package compiled by the student team in the laboratory into the super production line.
When the "simplified" version of the Cavalier Fifteen came off the production line and stopped in front of him. Even though he had seen this big guy in the previous time and space, Li Fanyu was also deeply shocked.
Big!
It’s so big!
Li Fanyu is 1.75 meters tall. Standing in front of this big guy, he is like a child facing an adult bull.
Although many accessories and decorations have been removed, the authentic version of Knight Fifteen has not lost even a trace of its majesty. On the contrary, without those flashy things, the pure black Knight Fifteen in front of him looks tougher and more sturdy.
If the original Knight Fifteen was a muscular man hanging with various gold chains, then the current Knight Fifteen looks like a naked... muscular man. Without those decorative exterior parts, people can see the essence of this car at a glance - thick and tough!
For reasons of cost and practicality, Li Fanyu made many modifications to the original version of Knight Fifteen;
For example, the wheel blocks have been simplified and the exaggerated shape on the engine cover has been changed into a flat surface. In order to facilitate the mounting of weapon platforms in the future, the slightly forward-sloping roof was changed to a straight one, and all lights except basic lighting were removed. In order to enhance the strength and protection capabilities of the car body, the two sets of windows at the back were eliminated and directly replaced by a closed rear cabin.
There are also those fiberglass parts that exist for gimmicks, which have been replaced with high-strength steel plates that are more pragmatic and easier to maintain and repair. In order to simplify the structure and reduce the difficulty of maintenance, Li Fanyu replaced the complex rear suspension with a foreign strut-type suspension that has expired the patent period.
The interior was the hardest hit area for Li Fanyu; all leather seats, space capsule boss seats and the like were removed, even the large and luxurious center console, in order to facilitate the placement of high-power communication radio stations in the future. It was also directly simplified and turned into a large independent space.
In short, almost all comfort accessories have been castrated, and the only thing left is practical! practical! practical!
If I had to use one word to describe this Cavalier Fifteen produced by Zhengxin, it would be - return to nature.
Yes, it's all about performance and cost. Apart from the ruggedness exuded by the car's own DNA, there is nothing fancy about it.
Li Fanyu is very satisfied with this state. In his impression, this is what a military vehicle should look like.
According to his logic, military vehicles exist to meet all extreme situations on the battlefield and can save lives or harvest results at critical moments. Comfort is not something that military vehicles need to consider.
Of course, the seats on this Cavalier Fifteen are still pretty good. Although it is not comparable to the original first-class cabin, it uses an A4 seat design, so it should be fine for long-term driving. It's just that the material has been downgraded to fabric, leather... don't think about it.
Under such crazy skimming, the cost of Knight XV has plummeted. According to the previous estimate made by the laboratory, the cost will be around 1.2 million - this price has already made Li Fanyu feel happy.
After admiring it for a while, Li Fanyu took out the camouflage panel that he had prepared long ago, and spent a lot of effort to camouflage the entire car's appearance. The car body was so big that it took him half a day just to fix the camouflage panels.
The previous contract signed with Chimney was titled "Equipment Development Department of the Chinese Military Commission", but it was clearly stipulated; the Knight Fifteen is a national armament project, and naturally it must strictly abide by confidentiality regulations.
So, Li Fanyu, who has never cared about the leaks of any car model, took on the big job of Cavalier Fifteen for the first time...
Wiping away the sweat on his forehead, Li Fanyu climbed into the cab of Knight Fifteen like a ladder.
The chassis is too high, you really have to climb up.
"Damn, you've oversimplified it... It looks like we need to add a pedal..." He held the steering wheel with both hands, exhaled and murmured.
The building where the super production line is located was originally a factory for motorcycle production lines. Although the door was left large to facilitate the feeding of materials, it was still a bit tight for the fifteenth knight. If it weren't for Li Fanyu's almost abnormal driving skills, it would have been a lot of trouble to get out.
After loading Knight Fifteen, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, into a large truck, Li Fanyu went directly to the military subdivision of Tiancheng.
The big chimney has been waiting there early.
When they saw Knight Fifteen letting out a low roar like a lion and slowly driving down the truck bed, everyone who came to accept it felt like they had seen a ghost.
"Oh my god, is this still a car?!"
"Oh my god, it's not that good. It's even better than the infantry fighting vehicles of the front-line troops! Come on!"
"When I compared the equipment of various countries on the Internet, our warriors were like toys when put in front of the hippopotamus of the US military. Now it's better! If this car can be fully equipped, the hippopotamus should be like toys when put in front of it!"
"Quiet!" Big Chimney, or Staff Liu He. Today, he changed from his previous shabby casual clothes and wore a straight military uniform. Seeing the comrades beside him muttering, he restrained himself.
But at this time, seeing this behemoth in front of him, he was also excited!
In many things, outsiders have no say. Only those who are in the game can best understand the rules and regulations.
He has nearly fifteen years of military experience since he started working. Since the Development Department of the Chinese Military Commission was still called the General Armament Department, it has been responsible for the scientific research and ordering tasks of some army equipment.
China wants to develop, so the country has invested a lot of energy in the economic field. But China is also a developing country, so its energy is bound to be limited. The country has not invested much in national defense equipment, especially army equipment, in recent years. Because of its unique international status, China currently faces more maritime threats.
But as the saying goes, only by being prepared can you avoid danger!
For national defense, we must be prepared at all times!
But...
To be honest, anyone with eyes and the ability to judge can understand the performance of a warrior. However, due to tight military expenditures, it is a helpless move to fully equip this model, which has been eliminated by the times as soon as it was developed and developed.
Just seeing this situation in his eyes, Liu He always felt powerless.
Now, seeing the Knight Fifteen in front of him, who was covered in camouflage panels and looked like a general in armor, he finally had a reason to cheer up.
When Li Fanyu got out of the car, he saw a large chimney wearing a military uniform armband with a bright red August 1st Army flag embroidered on it and "Equipment Development Department of the Chinese Military Commission" written on it. He walked up to him and stood at attention with a snap.
"Hello, comrade! Our company has now officially accepted a trial production vehicle code-named QS15 submitted by your unit. Thank you for your unit's contribution and efforts to the national defense cause! Salute!" (To be continued.)
