And such a good thing?!

For three months, this wind tunnel was used by myself, and I could use it as I wanted, whenever I wanted, with no time limit and no need to wait in line......

Leclerc Horner was about to faint with happiness, and kept nodding: "Enough is enough, enough is enough...... But boss, is this really okay?"

Chen Geng didn't say a word, he directly picked up the phone and called out, after a few words, the phone was connected, and after a few words of greeting, Chen Geng directly explained his intention: "Deputy Envoy Ding, there is something to trouble you." ”

"If there is anything you can say," Ding Haijun immediately said, "We will definitely help if we can." ”

"That's the case," Chen Geng said, "our AMC is going to participate in next year's World Rally Championship, and we need to design a special race car, because it involves aerodynamics, and we need a wind tunnel, can you help me ask the leaders, can I rent a small low-speed wind tunnel? Well, it will take about three months." ”

Wind tunnel?

Of course, Ding Haijun knows what a wind tunnel is, and airplanes and missiles need to be blown through a wind tunnel before they can be designed and finalized, but a car also needs a wind tunnel...... However, it is evening in China, and it is estimated that I will not be able to give you news until tomorrow. ”

"Okay, trouble. ”

"Which of us is with whom, are you so polite," Ding Haijun chuckled, he was in a good mood: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this matter for you." ”

People are like this, Chen Geng has never asked for much help from the country, and now when Chen Geng opened his mouth coldly, Ding Haijun was not unhappy, but quite happy.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Geng shrugged at Leclerc Horner: "It's done." ”

"Is this what it is?" Leclerc Horner was dumbfounded.

The whole conversation between Chen Geng and Ding Haijun was in Chinese, and Leclerc Horner didn't understand a word, only thinking that his boss had solved the wind tunnel with only one phone call, and immediately threw himself into the five bodies that Chen Geng admired.

"How much more trouble?"

Chen Geng didn't say a word and began to pretend to be forced.

Although Chen Geng blew the cow out in advance, the situation was completely expected by Chen Geng, borrowing a wind tunnel, after receiving the report from the embassy, the leader listened, hey, isn't it a small low-speed wind tunnel, a trivial matter!

Now that the country's armament development is slowing down, and the wind tunnel group that the country has spent a lot of money on building is not only so idle, but also has to pay a lot of maintenance costs, the leader immediately said: Rent what to rent, since Xiao Chen has a need, just use it, just give an electricity fee and maintenance fee, and forget the rent or something.

As for the deadline, the leader said: What is enough to do in three months? There is no need to rush the schedule, and we will not rush when it is used up.

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

With the wind tunnel in place, the rest is in the category of "as long as you have money, everything is not a problem", Leclerc Horner plunged headlong into the preparation of the team, while Chen Geng plunged headlong into the joint racing development team composed of AMC, Devil's Claw, Cosworth and Prodrive.

When it comes to the attainments in the power system, Chen Geng is obviously inferior to Cosworth; in terms of chassis tuning and setting, Chen Geng and the Lotus-born Prodrive are incomparable, but Chen Geng has more than 30 years of vision and experience beyond this era, even if he has no experience in racing car design, he has never eaten pork, and he has never seen a pig run?

Not to mention his familiarity with the polo R WRC car that helped Wolfsburg win the 2013 and 2014 championships (in fact, the Polo R WRC helped Wolfsburg win four consecutive WRC championships from 2013 to 2016, but unfortunately, Chen Geng's 2015 was not over before it was over), the engineers of Cosworth and Prodrive were not very impressed with Chen's suggestions at first, but when Chen Geng's suggestions were proved to be not only significantly improved in the performance of the car, but And before that's beyond the WRC's rules, everything follows......

"The drive had to be all-wheel drive, and you should remember that our fairy R WRC car was built on the fairy R, which is a small steel cannon with a four-wheel drive structure. ”

Previously, European chassis engineers and drive engineers were extremely reluctant to use four-wheel drive, but when Audi's quattro won the Constructors' Championship and Drivers' Championship at last year's WRC, European automotive engineers still thought that four-wheel drive was a trick, but finally stopped thinking that four-wheel drive was heretical. Prodrive's engineer said, "Well, 4WD is 4WD, but the problem is that we don't have a 4WD system......

"We have," says Chen, "and our GTR is equipped with a four-wheel drive system that we are proud of, and we have transplanted a simplified version of this four-wheel drive system to the urban nomads who are selling it in Europe." ”

"But civilian four-wheel drive systems simply can't participate in intense races......"

"In fact, AMC has already completed the development of a competition-grade all-wheel drive system. Chen Geng said that you don't know how powerful our technical background is: "And the four-wheel drive structure of the fairy R (four-eyed polo R) will be officially launched in the near future." ”

“......”

The engineers of Prodrive had 10,000 MMPs in their hearts and wanted to say to Chen Geng: Why didn't you say this thing earlier......

Chen Geng changed the topic: "In addition, I have a suggestion for aerodynamic design......

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

"Buzz ......"

With a high-pitched engine roar, from far and near, a car painted black, but the hood, sides and roof are painted with eye-catching, "devil's claw" signature claw marks, quickly flashed out of the corner, accompanied by a screeching brake sound, the car "creaked" in front of Chen Geng and Leclerc Horner.

As soon as the car stopped, Leclerc Horner rushed up and shouted excitedly: "3 hours 06 minutes 33 seconds, Rohm, this time is a full 4 minutes faster than you were last year!"

"It's 4 minutes faster?!" Röm was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "I feel like it's a little faster than last year, but...... 4 minutes?!"

Rohm, that is, the previous reserve driver of the Lancia team who is not ready to renew his contract, is also pitiful, Rohm's strength is actually not bad, but helplessly in the Lancia team where Walter Rohr and Hanmi Mikla, the two popular drivers of the WRC, are in charge, he can only be regarded as a younger brother, belonging to the kind of "fart must be carefully squeezed out a little bit, and dare not open up", but when it came to the AMC team, the younger brother of the Lancia team immediately became the leader of the team.

With plenty of money to ensure it, experienced engineers from prodrive and Cosworth, and relay testing by several drivers, the development of the fairy R WRC race car has progressed rapidly, and with the unlimited use of the wind tunnel, it only took three months for AMC's WRC vehicle: the fairy R WRC to complete the design finalization, and today, it is the fairy R The last field adaptability test of the WRC, as long as the road runs down and there are no problems with the car, then the car can be finalized.

"Yes," Leclerc Horner nodded happily, "It's just four minutes, strictly a little over 4 minutes and 11 seconds, and you can put that in last year's race, you can be fourth...... Rohm, how do you feel about racing?"

"Very good, boss, I feel great," Rohm said excitedly to Leclerc Horner: "The car is very responsive, especially with the all-wheel drive system, and God, I feel like I can run a much better time than I did on the snow and ice in Karlstad...... God, it's no wonder that last year the Audi team was able to win both the Drivers' and Constructors' championships, the four-wheel drive system is so cool to use for mountain running, but the skills when drifting are not the same as those of the rear-wheel drive car, I still need to practice again. ”

Hearing Rohm say this, Leclerc Horner suddenly had a smile on his face, and he immediately asked, "What about the stability of the car's various systems, what do you think?"

As a driver of the WRC, it is not just a matter of driving, the driver has to follow the design team from the beginning of the design of the car, constantly making suggestions, Rohm joined in the design of the car almost halfway through, but this does not prevent him from having a full understanding of the car under his ass, hearing this, he nodded and said to Leclerc Horner: "I think it's okay, the car's systems are running very well, and I haven't found any problems for the time being." ”

"Great!" Leclerc Horner happily threw punches like a boxer, then turned his head and said excitedly to Chen Geng: "Boss, I think we should surprise your European counterparts and our competitors." ”

"You mean a press conference?"

"That's right, it's a press conference!" Leclerc Horner nodded heavily: "Didn't the damn European media say we couldn't make it? Then let's show them that we succeeded, and there was indeed a miracle!"

All this time, Leclerc Horner's heart has always been in a breath!

Because the time was so short, and the members of the AMC team were people who other teams did not look down on, so the European media gave AMC's WRC team the nickname "League of Loser", and soon the nickname "League of Loser" spread in Europe.

No one wants to be a loser, not to mention that Leclerc Horner never considered himself a loser, and after suffering so many days of humiliation, Leclerc Horner can't wait to get revenge.
