In addition to diesel fuel, there are also sewage tanks, storage tanks and carriage ladders. More than a meter of space is left at the front and rear of the car, and storage compartments are also installed.
At the back of the carriage is the laboratory, two meters wide, which houses various sample cabinets and experimental equipment. Considering the actual environment of the research, the experimental equipment and the sample cabinet are fixed on the desktop to prevent breakage. The door to the laboratory is on the far right of the carriage and is eighty centimeters wide.

Under the sofa are all kinds of small drawers that can hold a lot of things, in addition, there are also a lot of small cabinets on top of the living room to store things.
Further forward in the living room is the engine compartment, which is specially equipped with an engine compartment because of the large engine used. The engine compartment is two meters wide, inside which the main structure of the engine can be seen and can be serviced inside the body. In addition, there are various supporting auxiliary facilities in the engine compartment, such as batteries, air bags, water tanks, heat sinks, etc., and there are spare ones to ensure that they will not lie down. The engine compartment is connected to the living room by a small door, which allows easy access to the engine compartment at any time. The engine compartment goes forward, and there is a small door to the right side of the compartment that leads into the cockpit. When not in use, the engine compartment can be used as a storage room to store various weapons and food.
The cockpit is one meter five wide and two meters long, with two driving positions, one for driving and the other for auxiliary communications. The cockpit only has a front window about 30 centimeters high and about 1 meter wide, which can be controlled completely by the camera, using the latest VR imaging technology, which is no different from what you really see. There are various communicators in the communication driving position, and there is a radar device on the roof that can be opened and closed at any time to ensure the stability of the signal. To the right of the cockpit is the front door of the cabin, which the driver can enter from the front door of the cabin or from the rear door of the cabin.

The tank is also equipped with two spare tires, albeit bulletproof wheels, but it is better to have two spare tires just in case.
In addition to the combat vehicle, the Governor also approved a 35mm self-propelled artillery armored vehicle with enough ammunition tubes. Moreover, according to Zhang Qiru's request, the governor modified a fuel tanker, which was all-steel and could carry ten cubic meters of diesel fuel to ensure Zhang Qiru's fuel supply. Seeing that the governor was so generous, Zhang Qiru was embarrassed to continue to ask for things, but he asked for an off-road military vehicle and a water tanker.
According to the governor's plan, the chariot and various equipment are estimated to be completed in half a month, and Zhang Qiru and others must also go to the Los Angeles base to pick up the goods, because the Los Angeles base is still surrounded by zombies, and the chariot weighs 35 tons and cannot be transported, so Zhang Qiru can only take it himself, and he can also try the practicability of the chariot by the way.
While waiting for the chariot to be completed, Zhang Qiru and others conducted joint training with Wu Gang and others to improve their tacit understanding and make final preparations for the south. Time passed quickly, more than half a month passed in a blink of an eye, the chariot had been completed, and Zhang Qiru and the others were ready to set off for the Los Angeles base.
