Chapter 343
After the end of the field test, Liu Yi affirmed their work, they did a good job, many details were handled very well, especially the redesigned interior, which is more humane and safer, Liu Yi is satisfied, and Turner is satisfied.
"Make some changes, I need to improve the performance of the brakes, and at the same time increase the driving camera, which can collect the surrounding car condition data into the car, specifically for me to make a test car, add a hard disk to the computer to collect data, the data of the camera should also be saved, the data within five minutes of the car turning off must be saved, add a wireless data transmission to the car, make a SIM card that can install a mobile phone card, and can transmit the data to the network in the shortest possible time in the event of danger and feed back to our data center. Liu Yi thought for a while and said that he needed an exclusive car.
"Does the displacement of the car need to be increased? to 6.3."
"5.7 is enough, can this increase turbocharging, twin-turbocharging, mechanical supercharging and electronic supercharging, to see if Mercedes-Benz can authorize us to use their technology to make a twin-turbocharged engine, I need a more stable power output. β
"Boss, is this motivation to do mass production?" asked Turner curiously.
"No, it's for my personal use. Liu Yi shook his head, "Of course, the car I use is different from others, the displacement is so large, the fuel tank should also be specially designed, become a larger fuel tank, or the design of the main and auxiliary fuel tanks to ensure the counterweight, in short, how much it costs, I will directly settle with you, a specially customized car for me." Increase the deep water hose, the minimum ground clearance is higher, and the height of the vehicle is controlled at 1.93 meters. Liu Yi thought about it, and now the minimum height limit in China is two meters. "I don't need rear seats, my car only needs two seats, the size of the body is slightly smaller, the wheelbase is also reduced, and it is re-tuned. β
"Boss, I'm afraid the cost of your car is not low, the average car is up to one million dollars, your customized car needs to be thoroughly tested, plus the cost of research and development, the cost of the car will exceed 10 million dollars. Turner sighed.
"I do it as much as I want, this is my personal car, don't add other monitoring systems in the car, keep it for me." Liu Yi said with a smile, "My own car, of course, to be better, more top-notch, ordinary cars worthy of me? Do you think I look like a person who is short of money? If you do a good job, even your bonus is included in the cost, and I will give a bonus to the research and development team of this car." Liu Yi said with a smile, not to mention 10 million US dollars, even 20 million US dollars is nothing to him, as long as he has a car he likes, he is willing to spend more money.
"Then the body material of your car, we also use the best lightweight materials at present, the rigidity and toughness are better than the current steel body, the ground shelf we also use the best rigidity and torsion resistance materials for you, and we can use carbon fiber inside the body, and also add to increase the protective performance of the car. Turner said seriously, "The danger signal is transmitted quickly, and it is made into a test vehicle type, and when there is a danger, it can be the first time to put the surroundings around."
Photos and short videos are sent to our data center and can be called up at any time, which requires the help of a software company. β
"It's better, you contact the software company to do it, I want the best." Liu Yi laughed, this is good news, have a unique car, better than anything else, Turner looked at the boss, this is the real money, no matter what you buy, you don't have to mass-produce, all use the best, if you can't meet his requirements, he will buy the manufacturer he needs, this is the real rich man, maybe that day the boss wants a plane of his own, he may buy an aircraft factory, he will buy what he wants, this is the real rich man.
Turner said that he understood what Liu Yi meant, and he would customize one for the boss according to his requirements, and take out a team to serve the boss specifically, obviously with a lot of bonuses.
In their opinion, as long as the test site can pass, there is actually no problem in other places, all kinds of data have been collected very completely, and it is actually meaningless to test outside.
The first time Liu Yi saw the Rubicon Trail, he didn't expect it to be so dilapidated, the Wrangler claimed to be the only production car that passed the Rubicon Trail, and in his memory, it seemed that the Mitsubishi Pajero and the Toyota Prado were no problem, but he still planned to play this road.
The road under the Nevada Mountains is more than 30 kilometers long, the front section is still paved, the rest is an ordinary road, although there are some bumps, but there is not much difficulty, until the time to enter the forest, there is difficulty, not even a road, here is not only them, there are many people driving Prado and Pajero, Tule, when they saw a long convoy of jeep Wranglers, they all looked at them in surprise, obviously they did not expect that there was a convoy coming, it seems that they also came to challenge, there are supply vehicles behind, it is rich people who come to playγ
Because they are all off-road enthusiasts, many people greeted each other, Liu Yi, they responded enthusiastically, these people were curious to look at the Jeep Wrangler team, their cars have been specially painted, it should be a production model, there has been no such grand occasion for a long time, in front of the tester, Liu Yi followed behind, his level is a little worse, and the rear of the supplementary vehicle, the first is to fill up the fuel tank to ensure that there is oil in the pass, the tires are off-road tires, this is the basic configuration of Jeep, and the production models are used.
When the first car was in front of it as quickly as a tiger, Liu Yi was dumbfounded in the back, these people are too fierce, this is not to treat the car as a car, the cow. Liu Yi carefully observed the driving route of the two people in front of him, and followed himself, watching the huge bend in the body, the body was already able to fall steadily to the ground, the huge engine power burst out, and the car easily passed the road in front of it, as if it was splitting mountains and waters, all the way through thorns.
With the person in front of him leading, Liu Yi didn't have to worry at all, the huge high stone would have a navigator coming down
Conductor, they are very fast, much faster than those slow cars behind, they are like conquerors, the sound of the engine roaring in the mountains is constantly sounding, passing through sad places, the tires are also very powerful, and they don't care about the ground conditions at all.
Liu Yi finally saw the old American off-road road, compared to some domestic roads are much better, Wuling Hongguang can pass, they also use these as off-road roads, too funny, but Liu Yi is still very serious, he also likes this feeling, as if nothing can resist them forward, all the cars are fast one after another forward, and the speed is not slow, the people around are stupid, the people behind follow them forward, but the same route is not very suitable for them, although it has been modified, but because of the model design, it is definitely inferior to the two-door car at the level of the departure cornerThe wheelbase being too long is the biggest problem.
The difficulty comes from the stones and mud, the stones are of different sizes, some are big and some are small, they need to be constantly climbed, and they also need to pay special attention when moving forward in the mud, they need to wait for the car in front to pass to reach the safe area, and then the car behind them, the strong climbing ability is not able to stump their convoy at all, the speed is very fast, more than ten kilometers pass quickly, the most difficult place takes a little more time, someone looks at the road, the speed is very fast.
It took more than five hours, and finally passed the whole process, Liu Yi also saw a completely different scenery, these and he saw the scenery in the deep mountains of Yunnan is exactly the same, the original most beautiful scenery is the place that can not be reached, although very tired, but he is very happy, in the evening everyone invited everyone to eat a local barbecue, everyone is very happy, when they go back, they will choose another road, feel once is enough, the car has been carefully checked, the car is in good condition, which is in line with the name of the Wrangler.
After returning to the test site, Liu Yi and Turner went to various research institutes to check the current research process, especially in terms of engines, the old 4.0, 3.8 and other displacement engines will be eliminated, and they need to be updated, and the engine that can exert greater torque will not only squeeze out all the power of the engine, but also be fuel-efficient, Liu Yi carefully looked at all the information, he didn't understand, but he knew what direct injection, multi-point EFI, high-pressure common rail, etc., he put forward his own views on the engine, which were the new technologies of the engine released on the market later, and he told the part of his understanding, hoping to be useful to these people, Turner is also very curious, what kind of major is Liu Yi, the principle of the things proposed is still very advanced, but the real rarity is not that he understands, but how to come up with it, creation is actually more difficult than research and development, if you want to surpass others, you have to have someone with a different idea.
Engine experts talk more, Liu Yi listened very carefully, he didn't understand very well, he could only put forward what he felt was not too reasonable, and then put forward his own requirements, and put forward some advanced technology concepts, let these professional people do research, how to give full play to the full performance of an engine, is their business, he is just a person who provides ideas.
