Chapter 264: A Strong Heart!
To some extent, Taylor Motors was simply broken by Addicot, and in the end he pushed it down the abyss with his own hands, of course, little Taylor himself has an unknown responsibility.
The previous thing has passed, and Addicott will also be punished as it deserves, and now what Chen Mo has to do is to pull this company that has fallen into the abyss again, and lead it to the top!
After learning more about the situation of this model, Chen Mo already had a general idea in his heart, but the specifics had to be seen after the design drawings and prototypes of the car.
……
Taylor Motors, now Aegis Motors, is the R&D office.
Chen Mo sat in front of the computer and quickly checked the design drawings of this bulletproof off-road vehicle that failed to be developed.
Chen Mo, whose reaction speed and memory are far beyond ordinary people, quickly read all the drawings of this car, including the full set of drawings of the new engine that had just been retrieved from the engine research and development team.
Combined with the previous inspection of the only prototype car, Chen Mo already knew the situation of the whole car.
According to Chen Mo's understanding, if the car they designed does not count the engine problem, the overall performance should be at a medium level in the current bulletproof car field, which is very rare for the first time to completely independently design the R & D and design department of bulletproof armored vehicles.
It's not the same as when they used to modify bulletproof cars.
As long as the modification is carried out on the basis of the original car, it is good to carry out partial transformation, and it does not involve the overall redesign of the car, and the difficulty is much lower, which is why there are many modification factories that modify bulletproof cars, but there are not many automobile manufacturing companies that can independently produce bulletproof cars.
After thoroughly understanding the design drawings and various data of this new model that failed to be developed, Chen Mo already knew it in his heart, and at the same time, the previous idea was clearer.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Mo made a decision in his heart, when he stretched out his hands and quickly tapped on the keyboard, one command after another was quickly given.
Soon, Michael, the general manager of the company, who had just returned to his office from the conference room, received instructions from Chen Mo and a long list of purchases, and along with the order, a huge amount of money of up to 500 million US dollars was injected into the company's account.
The company, which had been stagnant and gloomy, was revitalized again, and various departments acted quickly according to Chen Mo's orders.
A large number of equipment and material purchase orders were issued from the procurement department, and a large amount of money was thrown down, and all kinds of large, medium and small production and processing equipment, high-precision instruments, and various materials and raw materials were quickly transported in batches.
What makes the purchasers surprised is that among the equipment purchased in this batch of purchases, there are also forging and casting equipment such as vacuum arc melting furnaces, steel plate hot rolling mills and large-tonnage hydraulic presses, which are usually used only in the production of special alloys.
Moreover, there are many kinds of metal raw materials in the procurement list, including common iron, magnesium, aluminum, calcium, manganese and other common metals, and expensive barium, titanium, tungsten, rhenium, molybdenum, chromium, vanadium and other rare metals, and there are quite a few of them.
In addition to the large-scale procurement of equipment and raw materials, the production department also made very big adjustments under Chen Mo's orders.
After the original model was discontinued, the plant and production line also had to be remodeled and adjusted.
Although the funds are sufficient, Chen Mo is not in a hurry to replace the more automated and advanced automotive automation production line.
Not to mention that it takes a long time to order automation equipment, plus installation and commissioning, it will take longer to officially put into production, and in the short term, the company's original semi-manual production mode is enough to meet the initial production needs.
Of course, this production line will definitely be replaced by an automated production line in the future, but there is no need to purchase it from the outside at all, Chen Mo has a full set of advanced automated production line drawings in his hands, and he can build it himself, of course, this is all in the future.
Taylor Motors originally had four models on sale, all four of which shared a production line and occupied a large factory building that served as a car production workshop.
In addition, Taylor Motors has two large factories, one is a modification workshop specializing in the modification of special vehicles, and the other is a chassis production and parts processing center, which is responsible for the production and processing of some auto parts and the manufacture of its own chassis.
These three large factories and a three-storey office building are the entire property of Taylor Motors.
Now the production of all models has been shut down by Chen Mo, and under Chen Mo's orders, workers and engineers quickly moved to adjust and rearrange the equipment in the factory.
The modification workshop and the production workshop were merged, the equipment that was too old was eliminated, and new equipment was replaced and added, and it was quickly integrated into a larger bulletproof off-road vehicle production line, and most of the existing workers were also arranged to this production line.
In fact, Taylor's company used to be able to sell more than 2,000 cars a year, and the original production capacity of this production line was not fully utilized, and if sales could keep up, as long as the number of workers was increased, the annual output could reach up to 10,000 units.
After the integration of the modification workshop and the replacement and addition of a large number of equipment for improvement and strengthening, the maximum annual output of 15,000 vehicles is not a problem, but with the current number of workers, it is impossible to achieve this output, but the annual output of 3,000 vehicles is still no problem at all, that is to say, ten vehicles can be produced in one day.
The modification workshop and the production workshop are merged, and the vacated modification workshop is filled with a large number of newly purchased equipment, vacuum arc melting furnace, rolling mill, hydraulic press, die-casting mold and die-casting machine, etc., a large number of layouts according to certain rules, neatly placed in the huge workshop.
When the company was busy with the integration and adjustment of the workshop and the purchase of equipment and materials, Chen Moke was not idle, and the production line could be put into production after the adjustment, but the original research and development of bulletproof off-road vehicles was not successful, and it could not be directly produced.
Therefore, after Chen Mo issued the order for workshop adjustment and equipment and material procurement, he even put into the revision of the design drawings of the new model.
Chen Mo's first modified target was the engine!
This new engine, which took many years to finally come out under the efforts of the members of the engine team and the suppression of the team leader Eddicott, is far from being at its strongest.
Under the deliberate control of Edifyot, the research and development of the engine has been carried out separately before, and several team members are only responsible for their own part, which has been successfully developed, but Eddicott has been concealed, until finally under the pressure of Taylor Jr., he has to deal with the integration and manufacture of the new engine.
However, it has not been systematically tested and tuned before, and the potential of the engine has not been fully developed at all, it is simply an incomplete version.
It would take at least a few months for the engine development team to follow the normal process of testing, tuning, verifying, modifying, and finally tuning the engine to peak performance.
Chen Mo is not, not to mention that he has mastered advanced science and technology that is more than 20 years ahead of the current world, which naturally includes the top super car engine, just Chen Mo's own incomparably developed brain, beyond the peerless genius's super memory analysis and calculation ability, allows him to quickly find out the defects and deficiencies of this incomplete version of the engine in a very short period of time, and improve it, the performance of the engine is fully stimulated, and the best state is achieved.
After completing the design modification of the engine, Chen Mo handed over the complete version of the drawings to the R&D department, and let them start to work on the independent manufacturing of the engine.
With engine drawings and the corresponding production equipment, the manufacture of engines is not difficult, and the engine R&D team itself has the ability to manufacture a single engine, which is now only going into mass production.
In the country where the automotive industry is developed, what is really rare is high-end technology, and in the case of already having drawings, it is not difficult to put into mass production, and related production equipment can be easily bought.
Chen Mo had already added the engine production equipment to the purchase list at the beginning, so with sufficient financial support, a full set of engine production equipment arrived and installed quickly, and the first complete version of the engine was quickly manufactured and installed on the prototype car that had been strong and capable before.
As a result, it is clear that with the improvement of Chen Mo, a super genius scientist who was able to develop the steel suit with Tony Stark, the performance of this new engine has been greatly improved compared to the previous one.
This improved V6 twin-turbo engine with a displacement of 4.0T has a maximum power of 650 horsepower at 6600rpm and a peak torque of 750Nm at 4500rpm.
With such a strong heart, this bulletproof off-road vehicle, which was still "weak" before, is like a second spring.
The power makes it impressive in terms of acceleration, climbing, off-roading, and top speed.
If it weren't for the slightly bloated and heavy body, no one would believe that this powerful off-road vehicle that accelerates quickly and climbs steep slopes like walking on the ground will be a bulletproof off-road vehicle weighing 3.5 tons, which completely subverts the bulky image of bulletproof vehicles all along.
Looking at the heavy figure that was running freely in the test field, flexible and fast, all the people present were full of confidence in the future of the company.
After so many years in the automotive industry, they definitely know more about cars than most people, and they can be sure that no bulletproof car on the market today can achieve this level.
It's not that there are no cars with stronger engine horsepower and torque than theirs, but they are all super-large bulletproof vehicles with a larger size and a body length of nearly six meters or even more than six meters, and it can even be said that it is a civilian bulletproof armored vehicle.
The body of these super-large bulletproof vehicles is huge, the armor is heavy, and they look similar to military armored vehicles, which are very public, for fear that others will not know that they are driving bulletproof vehicles.
These bulky and huge guys are equipped with V8 or even V10 engines, and at the same time, the huge body and heavy armor also bring more weight, so although the horsepower is stronger than their V6 engine, the load that needs to be carried is greater, and it is more bulky than ordinary bulletproof cars.
Among the large bulletproof vehicles of similar size and weight, none of them can surpass this bulletproof off-road vehicle equipped with a new engine improved by Chen Mo himself in terms of power.
In the case of ballistic performance, the stronger the power, the better, after all, the people who buy bulletproof cars are to ensure their personal safety in the event of danger, and the strong power can allow them to evacuate the scene in the shortest possible time and get out of danger.
And such a strong power also brings more possibilities to this car, under the condition of ensuring power, they can completely improve the bulletproof level, according to the needs of different customers, the production of different bulletproof level vehicles.
Judging from the performance of this prototype, even the modification of the highest level VR10 will not affect much performance at all.
Not to mention that the company's personnel were full of confidence and ambition after seeing the performance of the prototype car loaded with a full version of the engine, Chen Mo was not satisfied, and this is where to go.
After solving the engine problem, Chen Mo turned to the design of the bulletproof off-road vehicle.
However, he did not make much changes, the whole car is a whole, involving a hair and moving the whole body, the modification of one place is likely to require corresponding changes to many other places, the more changes, the more places that need to be changed, the amount of work will be very huge, and it can even be said that it is not much different from re-designing.
It is impossible for Chen Mo to complete all the design, from layout to parts, by himself, which will take him a lot of time, and it will only take longer to hand it over to the R&D and design departments.
Therefore, Chen Mo did not make major changes, but only optimized and improved some details that were not very relevant, so that its handling, stability, flexibility and other aspects have been greatly improved.
The only thing that Chen Mo has changed a lot is the suspension system.
Not long ago, Chen Mo and Tony Stark developed an extremely powerful Batchariot in the world of Iron Man, not to mention the various functions of this car, but many of them are not suitable for ordinary cars.
However, Chen Mo still weakened one of the functions and added it to this bulletproof off-road vehicle, that is, the chassis height adjustment system.
Of course, unlike the complex deformation of the bat fighting vehicle, which has become an off-road vehicle directly from a sports car, Chen Mo's improvement of this bulletproof off-road vehicle is much simpler, but the suspension system has been improved, without changing other parts of the chassis, through the lifting of the suspension system, to change the height of the chassis and deal with the complex road conditions.
