Chapter 542: Father-in-law's jealousy
Dense rains fall from the sky, drenching the leaves and the dust on the ground, so that the car will no longer roll up the yellow dust and smoke when it passes by, but it will not be muddy because of the lack of water
When the rain fell on the moving black car, before it could make a slight splash, it was quickly evaporated and turned into a faint white gas and returned to the air.
A side door, a low, streamlined body, and a rear wing that provides downforce at the rear all testify to the car's status as a sports car.
However, the shape of this car is a little strange, there is a flat air intake in the position of the front cover, which is two circles larger than the opening on the hood of the general modified car, like a huge nose, and there are also two flat air intakes behind the doors on both sides, which is quite a bit of a fighter air intake.
The presence of five wide air intakes breaks the originally somewhat monotonous streamlined shape, making the car unique and recognizable from the front, sides, and even the top and back.
As for whether it looks good or not, whether it is good or not, it depends on the opinions.
At least, anyone who has watched the test video can recognize this as "a new toy of a local tyrant" at a glance.
However, after all, this is just an ordinary small county town in the Qinba Mountains in the inland of Tuchao, and it may take some time for the so-called "first million-played VR video in history" to circulate here, so although the people who saw the car along the way were surprised by the strange engine sound and agile speed of the car, there were no people who could recognize the specific model of the car.
"Poof", with a slight deflation sound, the door on the driver's side shifted outward for a short distance, and then rotated counterclockwise, revealing the driver inside.
Somewhat rustily, Tom unbuckled his seat belt, bent over and got out of the car, reached out and pressed on the upturned door, and the latter automatically rotated and retracted.
After that, he didn't leave immediately, but walked two steps towards the back of the car with a drizzle on his head, and reached out to touch the back of the car that was steaming white, "Yo, it's really hot!"
said so, but his right hand was still pressed on the body and did not leave hot, indicating that the temperature of the body can only be said to be "hot", not to the extent of "hot".
This car is the dark horse B1 that Atletico bought back to China out of their own pockets, and after a long wait, the car was finally sent back to China and completed a full set of formalities and can be legally on the road.
Tang Qi has also heard of this car that costs a lot of money, and when the project first started, Tang Jiayi complained to him about Atletico Madrid's strange hobby, and Tang Qi was on Atletico Madrid's side at that time. Some people say that men are born with a good impression of things like machinery, especially two or three typical machines: wooden warehouses, cars and airplanes, although this is not rigorous enough because of the absolute tone, but it is still applicable to most people, especially Tang Qi, a physics teacher, has a lot of good feelings about these mechanical products.
However, good feelings can't be eaten, and when the new news came, Deputy Director Tang learned that his son-in-law had spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this car, and he was immediately anxious. Although Atletico Madrid earns his own money and spends it himself, he can't blame anything, but as a father-in-law and a good friend of Atletico's deceased father, Tang Qi still criticized Atletico harshly, with so much money to do, it is better to donate it to poor students, so that Xing Chong drove a sports car through the mountains and mountains to reunite Atletico for the New Year is also all kinds of depression.
Although Atletico explained that the actual cost was not as much as uploaded on the Internet, Tang Qi was still unwilling to admit that he listened to the wind and rain for the sake of face, and the two of them froze a little. At this time, Tang Jiayi acted, and Ms. Tang also laughed at the childish vindictiveness between the two men closest to her, but on the surface she couldn't laugh indiscriminately.
"Taking advantage of" Atletico Madrid's absence, Tang Jiayi took the "stolen" key to find her father and fooled him into driving herself.
In the end, the car was driven, but it was just a school, and it drove around the empty dirt playground after the holidays, and the speed of the car has not been increased, but even so Tom Qi is already very satisfied. Just like old Tommy said, this car has magic, as long as you sit in the driver's seat and drive for a while, you will be "brainwashed" by it, and it will increase a lot of favorability.
Getting down from the passenger seat on the other side, Tang Jiayi said with a smile: "This temperature is nothing anymore, at least it won't roast the bumper of the rear car anymore." ”
"The scorching exhaust has baked the front bumper of the rear car", this is the experience of a Y2K superbike owner on the Internet, saying that he once drove his car out for a ride, and a car driver saw his motorcycle as if he took a closer look, but when he waited for the red light, he found that the safe of the rear car was deformed.
In fact, this is not surprising at all, because the front bumper of the car is actually plastic, and it is normal for the plastic to soften when it encounters a high temperature of dozens of degrees, and then it is normal for molten flow under the action of gravity.
The front bumper of a car is usually not made of a hard material, and the shiny silver bumper at the front of an off-road vehicle is just a set of welded chrome-plated steel tubes. In the event of a minor collision, the bumper, which protrudes like a lip, is deformed first, which can absorb a part of the impact energy and prevent the deformation of the engine compartment of the car from damaging the engine and air filtration system.
Later, as the idea of "pedestrian protection" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the car bumper was forced to be replaced with plastic material, which was filled with soft and loose foam plastic blocks, so as to prevent greater damage to pedestrians when the car hit pedestrians head-on.
Y2K uses a turboshaft engine, as a gas turbine has a disadvantage is that it runs very fast, the engine is still spinning at high speed when parking and waiting for a red light, and continues to exhaust high-temperature exhaust gases, so as long as the rear car is not an off-road vehicle, it is basically inevitable that the bumper will be deformed.
Although the B1 uses less than a quarter of the Wr power of the Y2K's engine, the car's designers have deliberately taken precautions against this problem, and its tailpipe is not mounted under the tail of the body like a normal car, but on the back.
This also makes the rear of the car often at a relatively high temperature when driving, and Tang Qi did not choose to completely turn off the micro-combustion engine just now, the latter is still running continuously, charging the battery pack, so the rear of the car is still hot.
And even if the micro-combustion engine is automatically turned off when fully charged, it still takes a while for the cooling system to cool down the car. However, thanks to the good heat dissipation design, the temperature on the surface of the car body is only less than 3 degrees, which makes people feel just warm and not hot.
If it is in the north, there may be a situation where the snow on the front of the car is a little thick, and the rear of the car is dry and there is no water trace, but now it is in the Qinling Mountains, the towering mountains block the cold current, there is no snow only rain, and it is just a sparse drizzle, and the water traces on the black front of the car are becoming more and more inconspicuous, Tang Qi has not noticed this, but he is just feeling the dry and warm rear of the car, and he is unwilling to let go.
"Isn't that Y 2K only 10,000 US dollars, why does this car sell for 10,000 yuan, no wonder it can't be sold!" Although a smile appeared on his face again, Tang Qi still said this sentence in a tone with a hint of jealousy.
Dad, motorcycles are cheaper than cars, especially sports cars, and the 10,000 yuan for that car is already the most expensive production motorcycle in the world, but one or two million dollars in the car is not uncommon. And the motorcycle uses a second-hand helicopter engine, and our car is a specially designed engine, and the cost is too different. ”
The U.S. Department of Transportation doesn't have mandatory scrapping rules for cars and engines, and even the worst car can hit the road, as long as you can hold on to insurance premiums, fines, and accident compensation. Therefore, the aircraft engines required by the FAA Federal Air Traffic Control Bureau to be scrapped can still be used in cars and motorcycles after passing the inspection, and then a small company called Marine Corps Turbo Technology (MTT) saw the business opportunity and took advantage of this loophole, and they took a fancy to Rolls-Royce's M25 aviation turboshaft engine.
The engine was actually American, and the company that produced it was sold to General Motors, but the latter sold it to Rolls-Royce (Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engines) in 1995. Since the launch of the M25 series turboshaft engine in the 6s, more than 30,000 units have been sold in half a century, and more than 10,000 units are still in use.
The annual production of Y2K motorcycles built with second-hand turboshafts is only 5 units, and they can't consume engines at all, and some have time to build high-quality products.
After more than ten years of perseverance, it has also accumulated a lot of enthusiasts who love high-speed muscle motorcycles, especially the circulation of online videos has made this car famous all over the world and attracted countless fans. So the small company made persistent efforts and launched the "Street Fighter" with M25-C2B engine in 6 years, this 42 hp 31 kW engine will bring more power and more heat to the motorcycle.
Although the number of Y2K in the United States is only in double digits, Atletico still managed to borrow one, and after taking it for a test drive, he decisively gave up buying one, or also using second-hand aviation to build a car.
The design of using the turboshaft directly to push the wheels makes the fuel consumption of this motorcycle particularly high, because after starting, it burns the same amount of oil regardless of the high and low speeds. This actually has little impact on Ma Tuhao, what really makes him unbearable is that the bird can't stand it, and it will become hot under the farts after a while.
At the beginning, the M1 main battle tank suffered from various "heat strokes" in the desert of the Middle East, and Atletico Madrid certainly had to pay more attention to the temperature problem, and the gas turbine for power generation could be supplemented by waste heat recovery and combined electric heat generation, and the waste heat of the car could be used in winter, and it would become a complete burden in summer. Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the temperature control of the dark horse should be no problem.
Standing outside for a while, Tang Qi shivered, and missed the warm car again, but this time he didn't go to the driver's seat, but went around the front of the car and went to the passenger seat.
He didn't have a driver's license, and when he came over, Tang Jiayi, who had a license, drove the car over.
Returning to the car, while fastening his seat belt, Tang Qi asked: "Why is this car with a Sichuan license? Shouldn't it be a Fujian license? I haven't heard that Ludao has to restrict the sale of lottery numbers." ”
"Hey!" Tang Jiayi smiled and sighed: "Dad, don't you see how many people are behind the license plate?"
"Looks like what 1 it is, right?"
"Sichuan B-ee1, Atletico Madrid made a big circle, just to get such a pseudo-personality license plate!"
"It's all fathers, and they're still so immature!" Tang Qi shook his head and sighed.
In 2 years, the Ministry of Public Security piloted 22-type personalized license plates in line with international standards in Beijin, Hangzhou and Shenzhen, allowing car owners to choose three letters and three digits, plus the provincial and municipal characters of the licensing authority, a total of words constitute the license plate number. However, the new policy was canceled after only ten days, and only 12 license plates were issued.
Some people say that it is because the numbers such as "chn1" and "bmw7" are ambiguous or indecent, and some say that "ere121" is not easy to pronounce, in short, this brand is out of print. Although the batch of 2 types can continue to be used, the relevant departments stipulate that the car must be replaced with a new license plate on the grounds of equipment scrapping, which means that other people's brands cannot be bought.
After the issuance of the license plate became the original 7 words of the 92 type, although the owner is also allowed to choose the number, but the coding rules are restricted, when the next one is almost opened, and then imagine that the 2 type is as random as the combination of words and numbers becomes much more difficult. However, the hard work paid off, and Boss Ma still managed to get a combination of the letter bee and the number 1, but for this brand, his car had to be sent to Bashu to be registered, and he added a lot of trouble in vain, and he owed a lot of favors.
When the Type 2 was released that year, Atletico Madrid was only 14 years old and had not yet entered the second phase of the secondary school, and they still believed that "what the simulcast said was true", so they firmly remembered this new license plate. As a result, when he got his driver's license and could afford to buy a car, he found that the goods had already been canceled.
Finally got a similar, Atletico is naturally all kinds of joy and excitement, specially drove his car, took the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway to Yang County, where his father-in-law Lao Taishan is now working, Tang Jiayi and the four little guys are also here during this time, and the family plans to stay until the New Year before returning to Ludao.
Although the dark horse B1 is known as a supercar, it attaches great importance to comfort and passability in the design, in fact, it is more inclined to the coupe style, its chassis suspension can be automatically adjusted according to the road conditions, so that it can run smoothly on the flat desert without roads, and it is not a problem to run the Sichuan-Shaanxi highway.
Excitedly showing off their new car, only to be disappointed by their own father-in-law, Atletico finally understood why "father-in-law and son-in-law are rivals in their previous lives". For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
