Chapter 30: I Have a Car in the Last Days

Early the next morning, Zhang Qiru drove the car to the car repair shop they had just bought. Most of the things in the repair shop are there, and although the government confiscated some of them, things like wrenches and welding machines are lying in the repair shop intact. Come to think of it, there is definitely no shortage of these things in the army.

Yesterday the four of them did some planning together, and made a manuscript of the general situation of the tank. The four of them are not designers, so they can't come up with design drawings, so they can only take one step at a time, but fortunately, with Zhang Qidao, a mechanical expert, the general problem can be solved.

At eight o'clock, the master in charge of the decoration also came, accompanied by a middle-aged woman and a young man of seventeen or eighteen.

"Boss, we're here." The decorator is very honest.

"Master Li, you're here. Come, come in. Yesterday we roughly planned the prototype of the chariot, and you can also learn about it, and see if there are any missing materials. Zhang Qiru said.

"Boss, don't worry, I've been doing decoration for more than ten years, basically I've encountered any problems, and it's not a problem to decorate a car. Boss, if you need it, I still know how to weld, although I don't have any certificates, but the technology is good. I used to work as a welder in a factory, but later the Safety Supervision Bureau had to be a welder with a certificate, but I had no education and couldn't pass the exam, so I had to change careers. Master Li said.

Zhang Qiru was very happy when he heard that Master Li knew how to weld. Originally, only Zhang Qidao knew how to weld, but now there is another one, and the processing speed of the chariot will be increased by another section: "Very good, Master Li, we really need welders now!" ”

"Boss, these two are the helpers I found, let's do it, I told the young boss okay, you can just look at the food for one person." Master Li blushed a little as he spoke.

"No problem, the three of them have all the food, you can do it as soon as possible." Zhang Qiru could see that the middle-aged woman was Master Li's wife, and the young man was his son.

"Thank you boss, thank you boss!" Master Li's family was so grateful that they almost knelt down, after all, it was difficult to make ends meet now.

Master Li soon began construction. With Zhang Qidao's connections, they borrowed a crane from other hunters, which made it much easier to do their work.

According to the plan of Zhang Qiru and the four of them, they planned to disassemble the military card, leaving only the frame and completely renovating it.

The length of the transformed combat vehicle is about 12 and a half meters, and the extra half meter is planned to be equipped with impact angles or bumpers and safety baffles to avoid some large debris from drilling into the bottom of the vehicle and affecting the driving. The width of the car is two meters five, the outside is not decorated, and the shooting hole is reserved. The vehicle is four meters high, and the top is equipped with a movable railing, which can be used as a shooting platform in special cases.

The position and number of wheels remain unchanged, in order to ensure off-road ability, the height of the tire guard plate and the height of the frame are still kept equal, about 1.7 meters of position, and the total height of the tires is about 1.4 meters, so that there is 30 centimeters of activity space, which is enough to use. In order to ensure the safety of the vehicle, Zhang Qiru cheekily asked for a spare tire, which is also a bulletproof tire.

The upper part of the frame is planned to be made into a monolithic compartment, no longer separating the front of the vehicle from the cargo box, which not only saves space, but also facilitates communication, driving and combat, and the key is to improve the armor performance of the combat vehicle. In order to avoid the difficulty of repairing the front of the car due to the inability to lift it, they plan to reserve a removable service hole in a specific location to ensure that the problem can be repaired. Of course, the main body of the engine can not be taken out, but there is no need to take it out, if the engine is broken, you can only abandon the car, besides, this is a military vehicle, the performance is much better than the average truck, the probability of engine problems is not large, unless after a few years, then they can build a new car.

The entire carriage will be made of bulletproof steel plates. The bulletproof steel plates that Zhang Qidao found were all five millimeters thick, which could block the long-range attacks of ordinary rifles. In order to ensure safety, Zhang Qiru planned to make two layers of armor: the outermost layer was welded with a layer of bulletproof steel plate, then a layer of two-centimeter-thick thermal insulation layer, and then a layer of bulletproof steel plate was welded, and finally the inside was decorated, and the initial thickness of the carriage was 7.5 centimeters. In this way, the ten-millimeter-thick bulletproof steel plate is enough to withstand 90% of attacks, whether from humans, augmented animals, or walking corpses. The only fly in the ointment is that Zhang Qiru calculated that two layers of steel plates were laid on all sides, and the windows and other holes were not removed for the time being, about 240 square meters of bulletproof steel plates with a thickness of 5 millimeters were needed, and the total mass of these steel plates could reach nine tons, plus about two tons of various decorations and cargo inside, and the total load was almost eleven tons, more than half of the rated load of the vehicle. If you count the weight of the truck of 12 tons, the mass of the whole vehicle is 23 tons, and it is a long-term load, the loss of the vehicle is relatively large. Fortunately, this military vehicle is full of horsepower, excellent quality, and has a rated load of 20 tons, so there will be no major problems in three years and five years. In addition, Zhang Qiru and others also have some bulletproof glass, no more or less, and bulletproof glass will be used for windows and front windshields.

The hanging box under the carriage is also fully utilized, and the overall dimensions are four or three meters long, one meter high, and seventy-five centimeters deep. There is an 80-centimeter-wide foldable ladder under the door on the right side of the carriage to facilitate access to the carriage, after all, the height of the carriage is 1.7 meters. In front of the ladder is the truck battery and gas bag to be moved, as well as a professional repair kit with a width of about 50 centimeters. At the back of the ladder is a 40-centimeter-wide sewage tank. The rear side of the sewage tank is the fuel tank of the truck, the width is one meter three, in order to ensure the endurance, Zhang Qiru plans to install two large fuel tanks, one symmetrical on the left and right, a total of one and a half li, according to the speed of about 35 liters of comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, it can last more than 40,000 kilometers, enough to run around the sky. On the left side is the rearmost fuel tank placed symmetrically, also with a width of one meter three. On the front side of the fuel tank is a sewage tank with a width of 70 centimeters, equipped with an automatic sewage discharge device. Further on there is a one-meter-wide storage compartment, which has a lot of space and can hold a lot of things. There is also a hanging box at the rear of the vehicle, which is one meter eight long and trapezoidal. The front of the hanging box on the right side is 80 centimeters wide and is an external kitchen. At the rear is a triangular storage compartment with a self-priming pump and a very long hose for water withdrawal. The other side is reserved for temporary storage. There is also a large storage cabinet directly below the frame at the back of the carriage for some commonly used bulky debris. In addition, it is worth mentioning that two layers of steel plates are also used at the fuel tank to avoid the danger of being hit.

Inside the cabin, the front is the cockpit, even if the entire cab of the original car is removed, but Zhang Qidao, who is proficient in automotive technology, can still install and restore the new cockpit, and add many new functions, such as the installation of tank consoles, communication tools and so on. Behind the driver's seat is a platform 50 centimeters higher than the frame, which can usually be used as a bed, and can be opened completely when repairing the car, and the engine of the vehicle is below. There is an air-conditioning unit on the left and right sides of the top of the platform, which regulates the temperature of the entire carriage and is controlled by central air conditioning. The cockpit is about two meters long and has plenty of space.

Behind the cockpit is the most comfortable living quarters for the entire combat vehicle, and of course, the shooting holes are not forgotten. At the back is a large bed two meters long, one meter long, eight meters wide and fifty centimeters high, with a window at the head and foot of the bed, a shooting hole under the window, and a window and shooting hole at the rear. In front of the large bed is a space 50 centimeters wide, with a computer on the left and a bedside table on the right. Under the queen bed are drawers with lots of storage. When you walk out of the double room, you will find a 75-centimeter-wide passageway. On the right side of the aisle is a wardrobe with a length of one meter and seven and a depth of about sixty, with a huge space; On the left side of the aisle is a washroom with a length of 1 meter and a depth of 1 meter, which is equipped with a water heater and toilet, and the sewage flows into the sewage tank on the left. Further on, on the left and right sides of the aisle is a single bed 80 centimeters wide and 2 meters long, with only the upper bunk and the lower part a cabinet one meter high, where weapons are placed on one side and food on the other. The single beds each have a window and have a shooting hole. Further aisles, on the left side of the aisle is a functional cabinet with a width of one meter, and on the upper part is a refrigerator of nearly 400 liters, frozen on the top and refrigerated on the bottom; In the lower part is a ten-kilogram washing machine. On the right side of the aisle is a kitchen counter 80 centimeters wide and 50 centimeters long, and in front of the worktop is an 80 centimeter wide carriage door. The front of the refrigerator is next to a corner sofa with a width of 2 meters and 5 meters and 80 centimeters, and the corner is aligned with the cockpit platform. At the front of the sofa is a TV cabinet with a 49-inch LCD TV and a refrigerator under the TV cabinet. Small cabinets are installed at the top of the carriage where there is a vacancy to facilitate storage.

There is also a locker on the outside of the carriage. Eighty centimeters long, fifty centimeters high, sixty centimeters deep, in the position of the bedside table. Under the big bed, there is a water tank with an overall length of two meters, three heights, fifty depths, and one meter five, and the large water tank is composed of several small water tanks to avoid violent shaking during driving; The water tank can hold 1,500 liters of water, enough for half a month. In order to ensure the safety of water, the carriage is also equipped with a water purifier, which does not cost money now anyway. The circuits and waterways of the entire carriage are buried in the ground, and lamps are installed on the top, and at the corner of the sofa, an independent silent diesel generator is specially configured with a power of up to ten kilowatts, and the power of the carriage is not a problem.

Since there is no price at all now, and many things that Zhang Qiru needs cannot be used by the government, they only spent a small price to get the best quality materials, such as some more practical generators, Zhang Qiru just went to the nearby county and took them back without danger.

According to Zhang Qiru's estimates, it will take a month for the tank to be completed, but this month is too slow and long, and no one knows what will happen during this period.
