Although Lieutenant Hanks didn't have much friendship with Captain Ken, the boss of the test team, he often came to the test site, they were all from the same project team, and everyone was familiar with it, looking at Ken's excited face, thinking of Chen Geng's hateful face, he couldn't help but shout to Ken: "Hey, Ken." ”

"Huh?" Captain Ken raised an eyebrow and motioned for Hanks to say something, he couldn't wait to make out with the three treasures in front of him.

"This car," Lieutenant Hanks said, pointing to the "hummer" who had just driven off the cargo ramp of the C-130 transport plane and the engine had not even turned off, "This car is produced by Fernandez, and it is the 'devil's claw' ......"

"So what?" Before Lieutenant Hanks could finish speaking, Captain Ken said disapprovingly, "I don't care if he is produced by Ford, Chrysler, or Devil's Claw, when he comes to me, he will always use the test results." ”

"......" Lieutenant Hanks was speechless.

Captain Kean, who was already impatient, waved his hand: "Gentlemen, let's test the basic data first and see if there are any problems with the data given to us by Fernandez." ”

What is underlying data?

It is the length, width and height of the car, engine power, ground clearance, approach angle, departure angle, maximum speed, maximum load, maximum driving distance of the vehicle when fully fueled, climbing ability, ability to cross ramps laterally, wading depth, turning radius and even suspension stroke......

And so on and so forth.

After all, the manufacturer must test it countless times between the tests, and will not send it to the HMMV project team for testing until it is sure enough, but the HMMV project test team will still re-test these basic data again.

What did you say?

How could anyone be stupid enough to mess around with these basic data?

If you think so, this is wrong, for example, Ford's first prototypes for testing had a false idea of the ability to cross ramps laterally, and according to the tender for the HMMV project, the new HMMV had to be able to move steadily on a slope with a gradient of 40%, or an angle of 21.8 degrees.

Note that this requirement is not for you to climb a hill, but for the vehicle to drive sideways on the road on this slope, and the one that climbs up is 60%, which is a slope of 31 degrees.

After testing, the car sent by Ford for testing can only support driving on a ramp of 37%, that is, a gradient of 20.3 degrees, but the information sent by Ford said that the car can drive sideways on 40% of the ramp, that is, Ford has cheated on the lateral driving ability of the ramp.

Ford's car, of course, was beaten back.

Of course, it is not necessary to cancel Ford's qualification to participate in HMMV because of such an unqualified, after being beaten back, if Ford modifies the car to meet the requirements of 40% of the ramp lateral driving, but even a giant like Ford will falsify the basic data, how can the HMMV project test team give the data given by the manufacturer without thinking about it?

The test results came back quickly......

"Captain Ken, 'hummer' is 4.7 metres long and 2.2 metres wide. Height 1.8 m and ground clearance 410 mm, meeting and exceeding the standard;"

"Captain Ken, the tires are deflat-protected tires and have a central inflation and deflation adjustment system, which meets the requirements;"

"Captain Kean, wading depth 780mm, over standard 20mm......"

"Captain Kean, the results of the horsepower machine test, the engine power is 110 kilowatts, it is equipped with a three-speed automatic transmission and a full-time four-wheel drive system, it meets the requirements......"

............

As the results of various static tests were summarized in Captain Ken's hands, Captain Ken's expression became more and more happy, and he waved his hand: "Wai Rui Good, start the dynamic test,"

Lieutenant Hanks doesn't matter, the static test doesn't mean anything, a military vehicle, not there to see, but to go to the battlefield, whether it can pass the next dynamic and even simulated battlefield conditions test is the most important, then again, isn't it just that the Ford family was wiped down in the static test stage and had to be revised.

Captain Kenn was still very pleased with the results of the vehicle's basic dynamics tests, with the Hummer achieving a maximum road speed of 113 km/h, far exceeding the HMMV project's requirement of 105 km/h, and a maximum range of 480 km/h, which also exceeded the requirement of 450 km/h...... and so on, and all of them passed the test by at least 10% above the requirement.

"I have a hunch that while the test isn't complete yet, I think there's a good chance that this big guy will pass all the tests," Captain Ken said to his men as he finished the basic dynamics test and started the second-order test, "Guys, I've fallen in love with this big guy a little bit, I want our fighters to be able to ride this car around the world, I'm fed up with the damn M151." ”

Captain Ken's men nodded their heads, and after testing the hummer, they were fed up with the damn M151...... Not to mention anything else, only in terms of comfort, compared to the M151 with front and rear hard axles and leaf springs, which is hard like a stone, and the hummer with front and rear double A-arm independent suspension and coil springs, the hummer surpasses the M151 by more than ten streets!

It's just that as Captain Ken put more and more "√" on the test sheet, Lieutenant Hanks's face became worse and worse, and the test results exceeded his imagination.

What a hell!

"Mr. Fernandez, is it?"

"It's me, may I ask ...... you" Although Miss Aniston had already told herself that the call was from Building Five, Chen Geng was still a little apprehensive about the purpose of the Pentagon's call.

"Hello Mr. Fernandez, I am Colonel Kenneth, the head of the HMMV project team of the Ministry of Defense," the person who came did not drag the mud and water, nor did he play the game of "guess, guess, guess" with Chen Geng, and simply stated his identity and the reason for making this call: "That's right, during the five-month period, In a total of 32,000 kilometers of testing, your Fernandez Hummer passed all the test items, and we were impressed by the excellent performance, and the purpose of my call to you is to inform you on behalf of the Department of Defense that the Ministry of Defense wants to sign a test contract with you for a total of $600,000 for a total of 12 Hummers of different types and body structures, do you have time to sign a contract with the Pentagon in the next week?"

I see!

The doubts in Chen Geng's heart were finally revealed, it turned out that his own hummer had passed all the test items of the first phase of the Ministry of Defense, and the US military wanted to sign a contract with him for the second batch of test vehicles.

"Of course, I always have time. Chen Geng said without hesitation.

"Okay, from now on, you can contact me directly, please note my contact details, my phone number is...... Please contact me before you come and I can help you make arrangements here. ”

"Okay. ”

Also, remember to keep all the bills, as your accommodation and board expenses will be reimbursed, as well as your air tickets to and fro. Colonel Kenneth said again.

Can you be reimbursed for plane tickets, meals, and hotel stays? Chen Gengle said: This is a good feeling.

Hurriedly agreed.

Colonel Kenneth was a good man, and after giving Chen Geng a few more precautions, he hung up the phone.

..............................

"Good guy?" Facing Chen Geng's evaluation of Colonel Kenneth, Rosemary sneered: "Boss, look at it, our troubles have just begun." ”

Chen Geng said strangely: "Of course I know that the trouble has just begun, but this has nothing to do with whether Colonel Kenneth is a good person, right?"

Yes, the trouble of Fernandez has just begun, Chen Geng is very clear about this, among all the HMMV prototypes sent for testing, only Fernandez's hummer has passed all the test items, and the United States I beat the car manufacturer is completely wiped out, in the face of this purchase of a total value of more than a billion US dollars, the follow-up maintenance cost is several times the previous number of big business, even the four major American auto giants can not be jealous.

Chen Geng never had the luxury of expecting the news that Hummer had passed the test to hide from the four auto giants, and the four giants would inevitably take action next, Chen Geng had long been mentally prepared for this, but Colonel Kenneth didn't sound bad.

"Boss, look, when you go to the Pentagon this time, you will find that this Colonel Kenneth must be the spokesperson of a certain manufacturer, and he will definitely try to get you to sell Hummer to a certain manufacturer. Rosemary said with great certainty.
