Now that there is a more advanced engine, why do you still cling to the design that the US military had to do? I almost got into the trap set up by the Americans, what a pig's head! Zhang Lan gently tapped her head, which was considered a punishment for almost being fooled by the Americans.

Not only that, but if this high-speed assault vehicle uses the air-cooled V-twin engine found on the Prince Cruise, there is also a big benefit: the gearbox design is eliminated.

In order to save and make the most of every inch of space on the car, the motorcycle engine usually integrates the engine and gearbox, which is a general example of motorcycle design, even if the company's so-called "moving castle" superbike with a displacement of 2000 ml is no exception. This small function, which was done as a last resort and was not noticed in normal times, has become a great advantage now. As a result, the vehicle is significantly lighter than the high-speed assault vehicle equipped with the American special forces, the Falcon - the weight of a gearbox is not light.

As for the problem of transmitting the transmission of the engine after the engine is front-loaded, this is even simpler and not a problem at all.

Compared with the "Falcon" high-speed fire assault vehicle with four front gears and one reverse gear, the transmission equipped on the Alice cruise motorcycle has a transmission mechanism of five front speeds and one reverse gear, especially compared with the American and Japanese cruisers that use the electronic reverse gear that is slow to climb like a turtle, the transmission mechanism of the motorcycle of the Alice Group has its own unique mechanical reverse gearing ability. What was a modest design at the time now has a significant advantage: it allows the car to reverse at a speed of at least 20 km/h.

In this case, it seems that there is no need to find a racing car design department to design the engine, just ask them to design a suitable, sufficiently lightweight chassis and body frame.

The "Falcon" high-speed fire assault vehicle uses the chassis system of the optimized design of the ultra-light "Beetle" car or jeep to make its own chassis, and in terms of the design of the lightweight chassis, the Alice Group has a unique design. Think about the original all-terrain vehicle, which was a classic of lightweight design, and now it is not difficult for those guys to design a lightweight and versatile chassis.

Thinking of that all-terrain vehicle, Zhang Lan was a little strange, could it be that that vehicle is no longer suitable for the needs of special operations? No, even in a dozen years. That all-terrain vehicle is still used a lot by the military? Even now, the military still buys a batch of all-terrain vehicles from its own company every year for the use of the troops.

Then why did the military suddenly propose to design such a high-speed fire assault vehicle? Zhang Lan was a little strange: Could it be that the military has a more stringent task? Because the all-terrain vehicle is too small, the number and type of weapons carried are relatively limited, and it can no longer meet their needs? Well, this is possible, compared to all-terrain vehicles, the firepower of high-speed fire assault vehicles is indeed much stronger than that of all-terrain vehicles!

It's just that the domestic Alice Motorcycle Company does not produce this kind of large-displacement motorcycle engine at all, and if you want to use this engine, you can only import it from its own Alice Motorcycle Branch in the United States. Import your own stuff yourself? Zhang Lan smacked her lips. Why do you think it's so weird?

"I'll give you a new research assignment," Zhang Lan found Shiryakov, a veteran motorcycle designer, who was right to find this guy.

"New research assignments?" Hearing Zhang Lan say this, Shiryakov put down the pen in his hand, pushed his glasses, and looked excited.

Since the ceremony of the new car of Alice Automobile Group, the company has basically not done much research tasks, just to make some changes to the previous design. Although there are research tasks now, it's just that the time requirements are not as tight as before, at least there will never be the same as before, because I am busy with research all day, and even I need to pinch the watch to calculate the time when I am busy with food.

To be honest, when he was busy, Shiryakov was still thinking about when he would be able to relax. Give yourself a good rest for a while. But since these two years of relatively idle work, Shiryakov found out. It turns out that being idle is such a painful thing for me. For designers who are obsessed with mechanical research, they are not allowed to engage in research. It's like not letting game fans touch the computer, it's an almost drug-like addictive feeling, as if it has a local instinct from the genes, how can this guy Shiryakov forget it?

"Well," Zhang Lan nodded, "but this research mission is kept secret. ”

Secrecy? Hearing Zhang Lan's words, Shiriyakov was shocked, and the instinct brought by socialism told him that the research that needed to be kept secret seemed to be all military? If I'm not mistaken, I kept it a secret when I researched the all-terrain vehicle?

"You go and pick a few trustworthy people, you don't need more, about ten people," Zhang Lan didn't care what Shiryakov was thinking at the moment, and ordered, "There are not too many tasks to study from scratch this time, they are all using the current mature technology, and they don't need too many people." Come to my office tomorrow. ”

"No problem." Shiryakov nodded.

Now that we've chosen the researchers, we're going to go to the racing design department to find two body chassis and frame designers. Although the average design researcher in the company is not very busy, unlike the general department, the guys in the racing design department are busy every day, and even after the end of each season, the team members are resting, these guys don't have much time to rest: they also have to work on the team's research for the more powerful cars to be used in the next season, and some problems found in this season have to be solved before the season starts. You can't put off the problem until the start of the season.

Of course, in contrast to this, these guys have high salaries and various subsidies. It can be regarded as comforting the injured little hearts of these guys: the more you do, the more you will naturally take!

Fortunately, Zhang Lan just borrowed two body chassis and frame designers from it to use, and after frowning and talking about his difficulties for a long time, and found that Zhang Lan was still unmoved, the manager of the racing design department finally agreed to Zhang Lan's request to transfer people aggrievedly - fortunately, it was called, not transferred, and the designers of the body chassis and frame design were called, if it was a researcher who transferred the engine or gearbox, he would not agree to kill this guy. ,

Although the engine after the mass production of the vehicle will be imported from Alice American Motorcycle Division in the future, the research stage is not yet used, and there are several engines in the company that meet the requirements, all of which are laboratory products when they were engaged in research, and the quality is called a good one, which is enough for these guys to use.

"Do you want to design a car like this?" The next day, in a small conference room of the company, plus Zhang Lan, a total of thirteen people, held a small discussion meeting before the study of the new car, the two body frame designers who fell from the racing design department looked at the two photos of the US military "Falcon" light high-speed fire assault vehicle posed by Zhang Lan, and frowned, "Why do these cars look so like go-karts?" ”

To be honest, when Zhang Lan saw these cars for the first time in his last life, he also felt that this thing was very similar to go-karts, and if there was any difference between these cars and go-karts, it was nothing more than that the wheels were a little bigger, and the result was that the chassis was higher; The power of the engine is a little stronger, and then it looks like the use environment is a little harsher; Then there are more people riding than go-karts, and other than that, this quirky car really doesn't see much difference from go-karts.

"Take a good look at it," Zhang Lan is not in a hurry, professional things are left to professional personnel to do, this is the secret of Alice Group's development to the present, "See how these cars are different from ordinary go-karts?" ”

There are only two photos, and there is really very little to show for it. But if you add some information about the car in the photo that Zhang Lan put on the table, the situation is completely different.

"This thing is the standard firepower assault equipment of the U.S. Marine Corps SEALs?" Seeing what was said on the materials, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, and they let out an exclamation in unison, "And it turned out to be the first American military vehicle to enter Kuwait in the Gulf War?" Oh, my God! ”

It's no wonder that these poor children don't know that although they have to deal with all kinds of vehicles all day long, and even a lot of time with military vehicles, under the strict news control in the Soviet Union at that time, in the Internet era when it is not possible to "ask about foreign affairs and Baidu about internal affairs", it is indeed a very difficult thing to know what the most elite special operations force in the United States: the Navy SEALs is equipped with.

What's more, at that time, the Soviet Union was in a mess, the Soviet Union as a whole was on the verge of collapse, and people were still too busy to take care of themselves, who still had the leisure to care about what equipment the Americans used in the war in the distant Middle East!?

"yes, what's the problem?" Zhang Lan Meimei picked up a cup of tea and drank it

"I really didn't expect it," a Russian researcher lamented, "it turns out that the things that are claimed to be the most elite Navy SEALs in the United States are equipped like this, and they don't look very good." ”

"Everyone," seeing that there were signs of deviating from its orbit more and more at the scene, Zhang Lan had to knock on the table to remind everyone present, "Let everyone come here this time, not to let everyone express their feelings, but to let everyone think about how to develop a similar battlefield high-speed fire assault vehicle." ”
