Chapter 173: A Genius Weapon Designer (Part II)

Leaving aside the engine problem, Zhang Lan continued to observe the car carefully.

According to Zhang Lan's initial requirements, the car adopts a two-seat design, different from civilian all-terrain vehicles, in order to better adapt to the bumpy environment of the battlefield, this car uses the whole car light homogeneous cold-rolled steel plate as the shell, although the ability of bulletproof and anti-shrugged is not enough, but it is enough to adapt to the stumbling of the battlefield. In order to deal with military use more effectively, Zhang Lan asked the car to abandon the chain transmission system, adopt a more stable and reliable shaft transmission system, and use full-time four-wheel drive technology that is rare for all-terrain vehicles.

"This car," the car's chief designer Shiliakov said in his Chinese words that were almost incomprehensible to Chinese, "in order to better adapt to military use, we assumed that the use of this car was a battlefield that required a rapid assault at the beginning of the design, and usually the terrain and ground conditions on the battlefield would be very bad," the guy pointed to a device in the middle of the rear wheel, "In addition to the four-wheel drive system with axle drive, we also added the design of differential lock to this car, In order to ensure that in the worst case of any of the four wheels, such as slippage, the car can still be controlled by the driver. ”

"This is very good," Zhang Lan nodded, this is something he didn't expect, it really deserves to be designed by the military industry, just this small thing, it greatly enhances the adaptability of this car in poor battlefield conditions, and I don't know how much performance gap there is between the performance of this car and the "Falcon" light high-speed attack assault vehicle equipped by the US special forces?

"You can make a prototype in such a short time," Zhang Zongjun said, "The company is very satisfied, and I announce that everyone's bonuses will be doubled this month!" ”

"Ulla!" Hearing Zhang Zongjun's words, all the old Maozi present couldn't help but cheer loudly.

In four months, Zhang Lan was able to do this, and in general, Zhang Lan was very satisfied.

"Why do you have to do it according to the requirements of military design?" Zhang Zongjun pulled Zhang Lan aside, "Do you still want to sell this car to the troops?" ”

"That's right." Zhang Lan glanced at the old man who was making a fuss at home, "Why don't I bother with this effort?" Are you full? You must know that the cost of military design will go up a lot compared with civilian design. ”

"Are you so sure the army will buy our products?" At first, Zhang Zongjun thought that his son was just asking for the quality of a military car in the product design, but now it seems. This kid's appetite seems to be very small, "Except for some daily necessities, it seems that the army has no precedent for purchasing products from private manufacturers, let alone more important equipment such as cars?" ”

"Dad, didn't you notice?" Zhang Lan pointed to the camouflage all-terrain vehicle in front of him. "This car is very light, but the power is very strong, except for the water, as long as it is land, almost any terrain that is difficult for ordinary motor vehicles to maneuver it can move freely, compared to large vehicles it is very fast, the target is very small, the noise can also be controlled very small, it is very suitable for the battlefield on the rapid assault and special operations concealment requirements, and you look at the huge luggage rack before and after it. If you install weapons, isn't it a small fire assault vehicle? ”

"Indeed," hearing Zhang Lan say this, Zhang Zongjun carefully observed the car, took a closer look, and was immediately shocked: Sure enough, as his son said, the potential of this car is really great, and if it is used as a military vehicle, the role is much greater than that of the nephew!

"It's not just the military." At this moment, Zhang Zongjun suddenly felt that Zhang Lan's eyes were bright and dazzling, "Expedition team, scientific expedition team." Herdsmen and so on will be our potential customers, and this almost all-round car will become an important support point for our interests in the future. ”

"Anyway, you came up with the idea," Zhang Zongjun accepted his son's opinion in disguise, "There are also your shares in the company, just don't complain if you mess up when the time comes." ”

Complain? Zhang Lan shook her head and smiled silently. I'm afraid that counting the money will make you cramp with a smile.

"This," Zhang Lan continued to suggest to the chief designer Shiliakov, "I think the car can be further improved, and here are a few of my opinions, you can refer to them." ”

"Oh," Shilyakov nodded, out of respect for the boss's son, although he didn't think much of the little kid in front of him in his heart, "Excuse me." ”

"First of all, tires," Zhang Lan naturally saw the trace of disdain in Shiliakov's eyes, but he didn't bother to care about him, the technicians only admired people who were more skilled than themselves, and they really had no reason to respect Shiliakov, "The conditions on the battlefield are very harsh, if you still use the pneumatic tires used now, I estimate that the tires may be cut by flying shrapnel at any time or simply be punctured by foreign objects on the ground, so if possible, it is best to use special steel wire tires, Although the weight will increase a little, the whole car will be more stable in exchange. ”

"Huh?" Shiliakov's eyes lit up, he didn't expect this little guy to really have a set, and then patted his head in annoyance, why didn't he think of such a simple thing? quickly wrote it down in the notebook, and looked at Zhang Lan's gaze without the disdain it had before, and his voice became eager, "What else?" ”

"You have thought very well about the protection of this car, even the protection of the engine and chassis," Zhang Lan did not say the next point directly, but first complimented Shiliakov.

Sure enough, Shiliakov was very useful and nodded very smugly, but he didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Lan asked Shiliakov rhetorically, "But I don't understand why you neglected the safety protection of the occupants?" If a larger area of bulletproof glass is installed in front of the car's instrument system, combined with the helmets and bulletproof vests worn by the occupants, the protection ability of the whole car on the front should be greatly improved compared to the front, which has almost no protection at all, right? This bulletproof glass can not only play a bulletproof role, but also play the role of a windshield when there is a lot of dust in the air, which should be very effective in preventing drivers and passengers from being blinded by the wind and sand. After thinking about it, he added, "If you don't think one piece of glass is enough, you can use two pieces of bulletproof glass together." ”

As soon as Zhang Lan's words came out, Zhang Zongjun couldn't help but be shocked, even the old Maozi who was present was stunned, why didn't he think of such a simple but very effective means of protection? As the most vulnerable front, protection and line of sight has always been a difficult to solve contradictory problems, just a while ago I was thinking about how to solve the problem of frontal protection of the car, and now it is solved by a simple bulletproof glass.

"What else?" Shilyakov's eyes were not just shining at this time, they were like a light bulb, and he asked eagerly while brushing down on the paper. He really didn't expect that the son of this boss, who seemed to be only a few years old, still had such a deep understanding of the design of military vehicles, could it be that the Chinese are so smart? Shilyakov couldn't help but think.

"And?" Zhang Lan began to think hard, what else needs to be added? Suddenly my mind flashed, there is! "Another point, China's land area is too large, from the cold and your country bordering the northeast, Inner Mongolia and other subarctic regions to the south of the hot tropical subtropical areas have our land distribution, which requires our car to be able to adapt to this extremely hot climate from the south to the north, hot conditions are of course easy to solve, in the northeast region of the car cold start in winter is not the need to pay attention to it, in the car to install a low temperature start device," after thinking about it, Zhang Lan asked, " The low temperature start of the car seems to be the strong point of your Soviet car design, right? ”

Nonsense, can it not be a strong point, otherwise how to drive a car out of a winter of dozens of degrees below zero?

"Of course," said Shilyakov, with a proud look on his face, "I can guarantee that our Soviet technology is the best when it comes to low-temperature starting." I have to say that you have thought about this question very thoughtfully. Anything else? ”

"And huh?" Zhang Lan racked her brains and thought, what else? By the way, the snow in the winter in the low temperature area will not be small in winter, "And can you design a special track for this car when designing?" In this way, it can be guaranteed that the car can have excellent cross-country ability in winter in ice and snow conditions, hot and dry desert areas, as well as in meadows and swamps. ”

Damn! How did I not think of that?! Everyone reacted this way when they heard Zhang Lan's words, this is really a genius idea, if this car is really equipped with tracks, in addition to the water, is there a place where this car can't go? This is simply the dream car of all military personnel!

In fact, there are many vehicles that use tracks, armored vehicles, tanks, large tractors, and even in World War II, Germany already had battlefield motorcycles that use tracks, and it is these guys who design four-wheeled motorcycles that are relatively rare, and they do not turn for a while, and they treat it as a light off-road vehicle.
