"Honestly, very quickly, even a little too fast."

"As an experimental platform, of course, it is fully qualified and even excellent, but from the perspective of actual combat, it shouldn't need such a fast speed, right? The other troops can't keep up? ”

"Besides, I think it's a bit overkill to get our new engine into this low chassis."

Wang Ye jumped down from the tank, patted the half-new and ageless guy, and said with a smile, the senior commissioner standing not far away did not feel the slightest sadness and displeasure because Wang Ye denied his transformation, and said with a white smile:

"Director, you're right, if this thing is going to be sold, of course it's inappropriate, after all, it's mainly because it's a pity to look at these old things, and I'm used to being reluctant to waste them, so I want to use them if I can reuse them."

"What's the new engine plus ours? Isn't this a dumpling for a bite of vinegar? ”

"But if you don't change the engine, then the whole is very suitable, the speed can run to seventy or eighty, and it is enough for maneuvering, the key is that if the sales are good, a large number of old 59s in our army can be disposed of, how good?"

Wang Ye still agreed with the statement of the senior commissioner, nodded and said:

"Indeed, if we don't add our engine, the whole is still suitable."

"If you dismantle it inside, there will be an armored shell left, and the tracks will be changed to wheels underneath, and then repainted, and this howitzer will be installed, and it will look decent, and I still feel attractive to our African friends who lack armor."

"But in terms of weapon system, I think we can continue to enrich it, this howitzer alone is a bit unsupportable, and after the internal equipment is disassembled, I feel that there is still a lot of space, you can think of a way."

"All in all, a good project indeed!"

After all, in the eyes of everyone, Wang Ye, the most ruthless factory director, is his vision, since he said yes, it must be possible, and as his first project, it is still the big guys who worked together to figure it out, and it can be said that he is quite proud to be praised by the factory director.

In the end, the senior committee member said in a white air:

"It's just that the price is not easy to set, it's too expensive for them to be able to afford it, and if it's too cheap, it will also affect our reputation, after all, we also use a fire support vehicle with a 59 tank chassis, and the price will be one million dollars."

"This thing can't be sold for 200,000 dollars, right? Although we still have some earnings, it will affect the reputation of our consortium, right? ”

"It's going to make us look like we're profiteers."

"I think I have to think about the specifics!"

After all, in their opinion, the chassis of the 59 tank was also used, and the main structure was similar, so the final selling price must not be too bad, otherwise it will have a bad impact.

To put it bluntly, this is also a rather simple business concept, and Wang Ye shook his head and said with a smile:

"Member Gao, your worries are justified, but they are also very unreasonable."

"Weapons, it is not an ordinary commodity, its pricing is carried out according to market demand and scarcity, not the cost of materials, we can see this truth from the very beginning of the gas tank, but in these 59 tank derivatives, there has been a certain change."

"Although the fire suppression vehicle and this grenade tank both use the chassis of 59, so the pricing of these two products does have a certain relationship, but it is not that big, and it can even be said that it does not affect each other very much, because these are two different weapons."

"On the whole, the fire support vehicle provides 'light and intensive' fire support, while this grenade tank provides 'slow, medium-scale' fire support, and the price is naturally different depending on the role."

"As for whether African friends can afford it, it depends on the actual combat effect, as long as the effect is good, they can come up with dollars, even if they don't have dollars, they will have gold, diamonds, and other minerals to exchange with us."

"In addition, I must emphasize again, don't be presumptuous."

"In your opinion, this grenade tank seems to have been hollowed out, just such a gun, it is a broken 59 chassis with a wheel, it seems that it is not worth mentioning at all, and the price is naturally not too high."

"However, in my opinion, the role of this self-propelled howitzer is quite large, and it can provide very amazing fire support, compensating for the lack of long-range fire output in our fire support vehicles."

"Even I think that our caliber can be further enlarged, for example, 150 to 160 mm!"

As soon as these words came out, many people present fell into thought, and the senior committee member frowned slightly, and after a few seconds, he suddenly showed a smile, and then his eyes bloomed and nodded and said:

"What the factory director said makes sense! A few words made me feel empowered! ”

"It is said that the strengths and weaknesses are avoided, and the same is true for weapons, since we are a grenade tank, we should indeed continue to enhance the aspect of grenade killing, and then its combat effect can be highlighted, I already have an idea!"

"The current 120-caliber howitzer can be projectile like a mortar, curved like a howitzer, and even direct fire at close targets, but next, I plan to transform it into a double-gun structure."

"This cannon is no longer boring with such a large caliber, I think it will be good to increase it to about 105, remove the rifling, and increase the barrel length a little more to improve the effect of direct fire, and then add a pure mortar with a caliber of about 160 mm, with double guns, the power is endless!"

Hearing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but give a thumbs up, no matter whether this plan can work or not, but as long as you use your brain, it is a good plan, what if it works? And isn't that how many inventions are born?

"By the way, the factory director, we also have another project."

"Why don't we go and have a look?"

Subsequently, the senior committee member, who was inspired by Wang Ye and already had a new idea, looked very high-pitched, as if he couldn't help but put himself into work now, and finally suppressed this impulse and said to Wang Ye again.

"Okay!"

Wang Ye nodded and said to Li Baojun next to him:

"That's the second surprise you mentioned?"

In this regard, Li Baojun shook his head and said with a smile:

"No, but the factory director, you can look at this first, although this is not shocking enough, but it is practical enough."

"Originally, we all wanted small-scale mass production, if you don't come back, we are ready to ask the old factory director to hold a supreme meeting to discuss and determine the issue of small-scale mass production, aren't you coming back? Don't be that troublesome. ”

When Wang Ye is not there, if the consortium wants to make a relatively large move, it needs the old factory director to hold a meeting and then discuss and decide, but if Wang Ye is there, there is no need for a conference, and it can be determined by a small meeting.

"Oh? What is it? Sounds like a lot of practical value! ”

Wang Ye couldn't help but ask curiously, and then the group got into the car again and rushed towards another workshop.

As soon as he walked into the workshop, Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh directly!

In the normal historical process, for the country of China, in fact, it cannot be said that there is no car culture, but the car culture of China is different from other entertainment-based car culture in the world.

Let's just say that the Americans modify cars, install V12 engines on pickup trucks at every turn, and then engage in straight-line racing with big flying bricks, or install rocket engines on tractors, and engage in big-shot car races and the like, but no matter what kind of competition, it is basically a mess based on entertainment, perhaps it can be said that because of the early industrialization, people have left the era of production and use-oriented, and naturally evolved into entertainment in the end.

But Huaxia can't, since the nineties cars gradually increased, that is naturally practical.

Therefore, in the past history, in the nineties and the first decade of the new century, the modified car market in China was in full swing, and various modification methods were jaw-dropping and unheard of, and after all, there was only one purpose.

That's it: Dora, Run!

Down to the small three-wheeler, up to the truck semi-trailer full trailer, the new car you just bought has to be refrigerated, otherwise how to make money?

Take the most common semi-trailer as an example, the standard load is thirty-five tons, and the whole car can not exceed fifty-five tons, but after a click modification, the simplest is to increase the height of the steeplechase and strengthen the rear axle, and the load is pulled to more than 100 tons in minutes, known as the "king of 100 tons", which is still leisurely, and even 1780 tons of the situation has not appeared, and in some areas, some sections of the road is a common situation.

Even in the past history, there have been accidents where the driver drove a truck with extreme overload, walked to a road that he was not familiar with, and finally collapsed the bridge!

In the United States, the drivers of modified cars can exchange "drift" technology, or "catapult start" technology, while in China, the drivers of modified cars can exchange "jumping weight" technology, which is used to reduce the value of the whole vehicle weighing when passing through the toll station, which is outrageous!

And the reason for this situation is essentially because of money, in that era of lack of transportation, the country's overall transportation capacity is insufficient, Dora Express represents higher profits, at that time car drivers and car families, far and near the famous wealthy family.

As for the problem, it is also prominent, more accidents, family breakdowns, damage to highways, endangering public safety, and finally in the second decade of the new century, with the vigorous governance of the state, these outrageous modifications gradually disappeared.

At this moment.

Wang Ye looked at the second product not far away, and felt infinite emotion in his heart!

Because the truck not far away, it is obvious that it has undergone crazy modifications, and it is also the crazy modifications of professionals, and at every angle at the moment, it reveals a crazy feeling!

It can be seen with the naked eye that this crazy truck is modified based on the liberation truck, but the hood has changed, it is obvious that it is replaced with the current consortium's own V8 diesel engine, and because of the change of high-horsepower engine, you can see the reinforcements that can be seen everywhere, the original liberation truck, is a two-axle structure of the truck, but now, it has become a four-axle!

Behind the front axle, behind the cockpit, at the junction with the body, a drive axle was added, and behind the rear axle, a load axle was added, and the length of the body was extended back by a third.

Of course, this is not the most exaggerated, the most exaggerated thing is that the original liberation truck is a truck, but now the full trailer has been added, and a body connected by a tow hook has been added to the back, this body has no power, and the two-axle structure is a body, hanging and pulling at the back.

And, that's not all, behind this body, there's an identical body!

In other words, this Jiefang truck, with three bodies, has increased the scale by at least four or five times in terms of transportation volume compared to the previous Jiefang truck!

"Ahem, I want to ask, have we considered safety issues for this big truck?"

In the end, Wang Ye wanted to say something very "scientific", "reasonable", and "high-sounding", but in the end he didn't say it, because this is the characteristic of the times, and the regulations after a few decades can't control today's situation!

Therefore, Wang Ye only asked this one question in the end, and the senior committee member waved his hand and swore an oath and said:

"Director, don't worry!"

"We have carried out at least 1,000 kilometers of tests in various road conditions, and we do not carry out heavy loads, mainly because the transportation tasks of our factory are a bit large, such as motorcycles, our trucks are too small, and the transportation pressure is very high."

"Besides, our modified truck, we nicknamed it 'truck train', there will be personnel on board when transporting, on the one hand, it is to escort the goods to ensure safety, on the other hand, if the road is not very easy to walk, the personnel on board can go down to check, command or something, very safe!"

For a while, Wang Ye was out of words, and finally thought for a while and said:

"The mass production plan is still slightly postponed, and I think it is necessary for us to conduct more adequate experiments."

"In addition, our modified car is on the road, do you have any document requirements now?"

In this regard, the old factory director next to him said with a smile:

"No, what's the requirement."

"Are you afraid that others will learn from you? Hi! They don't have an engine, the original truck engine can't be driven, and they don't have the technology, so it's impossible to change it to ours! ”

"I see the future! We can sell these trucks! Hahaha! ”

Seeing the smug appearance of the old factory director, as well as the laughter of other leaders and committee members, Wang Ye could only laugh along, otherwise he would look like an unsociable fool.

In the end, Wang Ye looked at Li Baojun, who was also laughing proudly next to him, and then asked:

"By the way, what's the second surprise?"

"Let's make it public!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, everyone's laughter suddenly stopped, and Li Baojun pointed outside and said:

"The last surprise has to go to the aircraft project team, let's go!"

"You'll know when you get there."

At the beginning, the talents of the Fifth Aircraft Department and the Ministry of National Defense to the Red Star Factory, in addition to the fields and specialties named by Wang Ye, also included a lot of messy majors, such as those engaged in aircraft, but at present, the consortium only has such an aircraft as a rotorcraft, and it is not suitable for these people to transfer to other fields, so they can only set up a relatively small project team, while "working" in other projects, while carrying out pre-research of some projects.

Before Wang Ye left, the project of the aircraft project team was to resurrect a J-5 fighter sent by the military before and ready to be used as a factory model.

So hearing Li Baojun say this, Wang Ye's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking:

"Huh? Could it be that our J-5 has been resurrected? ”

"That's amazing! I looked at it before, and it was really in tatters, although I asked the army for a few scrap planes, and I was going to save up, but this speed was too fast, right? ”

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Li Baojun showed a complicated smile, grinned and said:

"As you guessed, it did come back to life, but not in a normal way."

"You'll know when you get there."

After a while, everyone came to the workshop of the aircraft project team, and as soon as they walked into the door, Wang Ye saw the product, and in an instant, his two eyes were directly round, because the J-5 fighter in front of him and the J-5 fighter in Wang Ye's memory have undergone a lot of changes.

The most obvious thing is that the original nose air intake has disappeared and has become a cone-shaped nose, if you don't look closely, even Wang Ye thinks that this is some kind of modern modification, it has become a side air intake, and the nose is equipped with radar!

But it is clear that this is not the case, since the air intake tract is not visible in front of the entire aircraft, and for one aircraft it is impossible to take off without one air intake, which is dictated by the principle of operation of turbofan engines!

Unless, it changes the engine!

Contacting the cockpit canopy that had been blackened with ink, Wang Ye felt his brain buzzing, and under the gaze of everyone, he ran a few steps and came to the back of the "resurrected" old J-5 buttocks, and glanced at the chrysanthemum, feeling that the blood all over his body was rushing to his brain.

"That's what you call resurrection?"

Wang Ye turned his head to look at Li Baojun, Li Baojun smiled and said:

"Yes, it's just that it's no longer the J-5 it used to be, it's become a J-5 that can never return."

"Committee member Shen and the rocket project team have carried out in-depth cooperation and transformed it into a super flying bomb that can achieve long-distance flight and has a certain route and range control ability.

At that moment, Wang Ye couldn't help but cover his face, it turned out that the people of the entire consortium were geniuses!
