Chapter 337: Minimalist Steel Behemoth
Li Fanyu's estimate of the progress is still accurate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the modeling part was completed and several key assembly parts passed the test, he entered the data packets organized by the team of students in the lab into the super production line.
When the "simplified" version of the Knight XV came off the production line and stopped in front of him. Rao had seen this big guy in the previous time and space, and Li Fanyu was also deeply shocked.
Big!
It's really big for a mother!
Li Fanyu is 1.75 meters tall, and standing in front of this big guy at this time is like a child facing an adult bull.
Although a lot of accessories and decorations have been removed, the Knight XV of the Zhengxin version has not lost even a bit of its majesty. On the contrary, without those flashy things, the pure black Knight Fifteen in front of him looked tougher and more sturdy.
If the original Knight Fifteen is a muscular man with various gold chains, then the current Knight Fifteen is a naked... Muscular man. Without those decorative exterior parts, people can see the essence of this car at a glance - thick and tough!
For the sake of cost and practicability, Li Fanyu made a lot of changes to the original version of Knight XV;
For example, the wheel gears have been simplified, and the exaggerated shape on the engine cover has been changed to a flat surface. In order to facilitate the future loading of weapon platforms, the roof was changed to a straight one with a slight forward tilt, and all lights except for the basic lighting were removed. In order to enhance the strength and protection of the body, the two sets of windows at the back were canceled and directly changed to a closed rear cabin.
There are also FRP parts that exist for gimmicks, 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, the complex rear suspension was also replaced by Li Fanyu's pen and replaced with a pillar suspension that has passed the patent period abroad.
And the interior part is the hardest hit area of Li Fanyu's knife; all the leather seats, space capsule boss seats, etc., have been removed, and even the wide and luxurious center console, in order to facilitate the placement of high-power communication radio stations in the future, has been directly simplified and turned into a large independent space.
In short, almost all comfort accessories have been castrated, and all that remains is - practical! practical!
If there is one word to describe this Knight Fifteen produced by Zhengxin, it is - back to basics.
Yes, it's all about performance and cost. Except for the toughness exuded by the DNA of the car itself, there is no trace of fancy.
For this state, Li Fanyu is very satisfied. In his mind, this is what military vehicles should look like.
According to his logic, military vehicles exist to meet all extreme situations on the battlefield, and can save lives or reap the fruits of war at critical moments. Comfort is not something that military vehicles need to consider.
Of course, the seat of this Knight Fifteen is still good. Although it can't be compared with the original first class, it adopts the seat design of the A4, and it should be no problem to drive for a long time. It's just that the material has been downgraded to fabric, leather... That's not to think about.
Under such crazy skimming, the cost of Knight Fifteen has plummeted. According to the previous estimate made by the laboratory, the cost will be about 1.2 million - this price has made Li Fanyu feel pleased.
After admiring it for a while, Li Fanyu took out the camouflage board that had been prepared a long time ago, and wasted a lot of effort to camouflage the shape of the entire car. The body was so big that it took him half a day just to fix the camouflage panels.
The contract signed with Big Chimney on the letterhead "Equipment Development Department of the Chinese Military Commission" clearly stipulates that the Knight 15 is a national armament project, so naturally it must strictly abide by the secrecy regulations.
Therefore, Li Fanyu, who has never cared about what model leaks secrets, did such a big job as Knight 15 for the first time when he did vehicle camouflage......
Wiping off the sweat of his head, Li Fanyu climbed into the cab of Knight 15 like a ladder.
The chassis is too high, and it's really special to climb up.
"It's too much, it's too simplified... It looks like a pedal is going to be added......" Holding the steering wheel with both hands, he exhaled and muttered.
The building where the super production line is located was originally a factory for motorcycle production lines. Although the door is not small for the convenience of feeding, it is still a little stretched for the Knight XV. If it weren't for Li Fanyu's almost perverted driving skills, I'm afraid it would take a lot of trouble to go out.
Loading the knight fifteen, which was like a zongzi, onto the big truck, Li Fanyu came directly to the military subdivision of Tiancheng.
The big chimney was already waiting there.
When Knight Fifteen let out a lion-like roar and slowly drove off the truck, everyone who came to receive him had a feeling of seeing a ghost.
"Oh my God, is this still a car?!"
"Oh my god, it's not bad, it's not worse than the infantry chariots of the front-line troops!
"Before I looked at the Internet to compare the equipment of various countries, our warriors put people in front of the US military hippopotamus with toys. If this car can be fully installed, the hippopotamus should be a toy in front of it!"
"Silence!" the big chimney, or Liu He Liu Staff Officer. Today, I changed my previous casual clothes and wore a straight military uniform. looked at the comrades-in-arms around him muttering and restrained him.
But at this time, seeing this behemoth in front of him, his heart was also excited!
Outsiders have no say in many things, and only when they are in the bureau can they best understand the rules and regulations.
He has nearly 15 years of military experience since he joined the work. 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 of some army equipment.
China wants to develop, so the state has invested a lot of energy in the economic field. However, China is also a developing country, so it is destined to have limited energy, and the country has not invested much in national defense equipment, especially army equipment, in recent years. Because of its unique international status, China is currently under more maritime threats.
But as the saying goes, you can only be prepared to be safe!
National defense must have the consciousness of being ready at all times!
But...
To be reasonable, the performance of a warrior is clear to anyone who has eyes and the ability to judge. However, due to the shortage of military spending, it is also helpless to fully install this kind of model that has been eliminated by the times when it is off the assembly line.
Seeing such a situation in his eyes, Liu He always has a sense of powerlessness.
Now, seeing the knight fifteen in front of him with a camouflage plate all over his body, like an armored general, he finally had reason to cheer up.
When Li Fanyu got out of the car, he saw a big chimney wearing a military uniform armband embroidered with a bright red August 1 military flag and the words "Equipment Development Department of the Chinese Military Commission" written on it.
"Hello comrades! Our company now officially accepts the submission of a trial vehicle codenamed QS15 from your unit, and thanks your unit for its contribution and efforts to the cause of national defense! )
