I feel a little strange. To put it bluntly, an armored vehicle is just a truck covered with leather.
So in their design framework, it is similar to a truck.
Who would have thought that Yang Xiaotao would actually say this, which really surprised them.
However, after the two of them saw the drawings drawn by Yang Xiaotao, their strangeness disappeared.
Even after thinking about something, the two of them felt that there was indeed something wrong with this framework.
The design framework given by Yang Xiaotao completely subverted their understanding.
The front design is no longer a straight up and down front, but a triangular front.
In other words, you can't see the front of the car at all.
The two sides are not vertical, but also have a slight curvature.
Looking below, there are 8 rows of 16 tires, four more than their 6 rows of 12 tires.
"We are studying armored transport vehicles, not trucks used to pull freight people."
"These three design concepts are all good. Rather than choosing one and giving up the other two, it is better to soften these things."
“Why can’t we have both speed protection and protection?”
"Just now I was discussing with the comrades in Quancheng about changing the truck to a six-wheel drive. What do you think of an eight-wheel drive?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled, but Dai Qinggang and the other two stared at the rough drawings and studied them carefully.
After a long time, the two of them got up and walked out, ready to go back and redesign.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Yang would understand the design of armored vehicles."
"Who says it isn't!"
Huang Han then sighed, "But this design is really good!"
"Ahem, I think the main reason is that the engine is strong, so it can be driven."
"In hindsight, what did you do earlier?"
"Old Huang, I said this as if you knew it..."
Two days later.
Machinery factory, in front of the office building.
"Brother Wang, Factory Manager Liu."
"You are here in a group."
Downstairs in the office, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but joked as he looked at Wang Dahai and Liu Dehui, followed by seven or eight automobile factory workers.
"Of course, we are big eaters this time."
Wang Dahai said with a smile, not embarrassed at all.
But Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "No, our small bodies cannot withstand the heat of your wine jar!"
"Good boy, if I were a wine jar, wouldn't you be a wine vat?"
The two were chatting and laughing, and Yang Xiaotao changed the topic, "I heard that my sister-in-law has a niece?"
Wang Dahai was even more happy when he said this.
Finally Yang Xiaotao came to Liu Dehui.
"Director Yang, thank you!"
The two shook hands solemnly.
"You're welcome, this is the first step of this 10,000-kilometer long march, and we have to continue."
Liu Dehui nodded, "However, with such a good engine, we will definitely make a better truck."
"Yes, if you want to do it, do it the best!"
Several people laughed and then came to the conference room of the machinery factory.
Two days ago, after some changes, the workers at Quancheng Automobile Factory finally got Yang Xiaotao's approval.
Although most of the design ideas here were provided by Yang Xiaotao, they were the ones who actually implemented them.
At this time, the candidates from the R&D department who have been waiting here are already ready.
When Yang Xiaotao, Liu Dehui and others came in, Lang Gong, who was in charge of the explanation, immediately took out the design drawings that Yang Xiaotao had produced these days.
In the conference room, Yang Xiaotao and Liu Dehui were sitting below, looking at the director who was explaining in front of them.
At first, a few people were chatting and laughing, but when the design drawings were posted, they immediately frowned.
Wang Dahai looked at the concept drawing, and the more he looked at it, the more it felt like a container?
And Liu Dehui's performance was even more obvious. If Wang Dahai hadn't stopped him, he would have stood up and cursed.
When Lang Gong saw that the performance of the three people was not as good as he and his colleagues had imagined, he was also shocked.
However, thinking that this was the hard work of these people for many days, and thinking that it was Yang Xiaotao's idea, they forced themselves to explain.
"Director, dear leaders, this is a super-heavy truck jointly developed by us and the R&D Department of the machinery factory."
The director decided to bring in the R&D department of the machinery factory to share the pressure. At this time, that was all he could do.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Liu Dehui calmed down and became serious.
"This truck is divided into two parts: the front part and the attachment part."
"The front of the vehicle, including the cab, weighs twelve tons in total, and the maximum load of the entire vehicle can reach 40 tons. The engine is powered by an 8V-65B eight-cylinder diesel engine provided by the machinery factory."
Hu Gong was explaining in front, and when he saw Yang Xiaotao, his encouragement made him feel at ease and he continued to explain.
"This is the general image we prepared."
At the end of the day, the two design drawings were handed over to Liu Dehui and the others.
As for Yang Xiaotao, this image picture was obtained from him.
"It's so big, is it useful?"
Liu Dehui asked Lang Gong, who also looked uneasy and looked directly at Yang Xiaotao.
Several people turned their heads and looked over.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao explained, "I also participated in part of this design."
The people from the Quancheng Automobile Factory who were following the meeting rolled their eyes. What does it mean to be a part of it? It was clearly designed by you. We are just brushing it off.
"We have already considered the issues you raised."
"I think that heavy trucks in the future will definitely become an important transportation force. And now, our Optimus Prime can just fill the gap in domestic heavy trucks."
"This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people."
After hearing this, Liu Dehui did not rush to express his position, but just nodded.
After all, Yang Xiaotao participated in the design, so he had to give it some face.
Furthermore, what Yang Xiaotao said makes sense.
Being the first in the country, the name is resounding enough.
You know, isn’t the reason why Jiefang became famous all over the country because it produced the country’s first truck?
Their Quancheng Automobile Factory really wants to win this heavyweight honor.
"Then, do this..."
"Optimus Prime!"
Liu Dehui was stunned for a moment, then without thinking much, "Be this Optimus Prime."
The meeting continued. Now that the main theme has been determined, the next step is to determine the production and manufacturing of components.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After several people finished discussing the design drawings, Yang Xiaotao, Liu Dehui and Wang Dahai walked into the office.
"Where are Lao Yang and the others?"
Wang Dahai sat aside, picked up a cigarette and lit it.
"Lao Yang went to Yanzhou to take charge of the construction of the steel plant."
"Lao Liu went to the First Machinery Department, Lao Chen went to the train station, and Lao Wang also went to the First Branch Factory."
"So, after counting, I'm the only one left."
After placing the teapot in front of the two of them, Lou Xiaoe didn't know where she had gone in the room, so she had no choice but to do it herself.
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
"Shanghai has made a tricycle!"
After Liu Dehui finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao's eyes narrowed.
But Wang Dahai next to him started laughing.
"This is interesting."
Then Wang Dahai held a pot and smoked while smiling, "It's self-evident that they took the tricycle for a piece of the pie."
"What a pity, what a pity."
Liu Dehui kicked Wang Dahai's chair aside and said, "Just gloat about your misfortune."
"No way, I'm telling the truth."
After speaking, Wang Dahai explained the specific situation.
It turns out that in the past few days, the news about the production of gasoline tricycles in Shanghai has spread.
After all, this is the first time that a gasoline engine has been produced in China, and the country also attaches great importance to it.
Unfortunately, attention alone is not enough. If you want to make a name for yourself abroad, you still need to have excellent skills.
Then…
All ten gasoline tricycles sent to Northwest China for inspection were returned.
The reason is simple. Compared with the all-access tricycle, there is a huge difference.
For this reason, those businessmen and representatives specially found the local representative, Section Chief Wang.
The people from the commercial department were helpless and accompanied him with a nice talk.
After receiving the information, the domestic authorities immediately stopped the export of tricycles in Shanghai and instead used them for domestic use.
It just fills the share gap left by the export of Quantong tricycles.
After this incident spread, the Shanghai Automobile Factory lost face.
But the above documents were submitted and the order was received, so I could only accept it with gritted teeth.
"Who told them to take advantage of others?"
Wang Dahai complained a few words, but Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything. He just mentally put the small gasoline engine and motorcycle on the agenda.
It is also impolite to come and go without reciprocating.
If you did it in the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for doing it in the fifteenth year.
After a moment of silence, Liu Dehui continued to speak.
"Now, it depends on whether our Optimus Prime can be a hit."
"Don't worry, Lao Liu, you will definitely fall in love with him as soon as this car comes out."
Seeing Yang Xiaotao say this made the two of them feel confident.
In the next two days, Yang Xiaotao sat in the R&D Department, solving problems if he encountered them, and explaining things he didn't understand.
Langong and others also explained the design concept clearly.
Yang Xiaotao also took Liu Dehui and others to the workshop to visit the production site of the eight-cylinder diesel engine, which made Wang Dahai and others exclaim.
Looking at other workshops in the machinery factory, they were also in full swing. The two of them understood that the machinery factory is now booming.
After two days of discussion, the automobile factory and the machinery factory have reached an 'alliance'.
If everything goes well, the machinery factory will be responsible for providing the engine, and the automobile factory will be responsible for providing necessary help.
It can be said that the two parties hit it off immediately.
Of course, both parties also prepared for the worst.
If this Optimus Prime is not popular, according to the cooperative relationship between the two parties, Yang Xiaotao will have to produce a four-cylinder diesel engine. Correspondingly, Quancheng Automobile Factory will also redesign the truck based on the new engine.
On the morning of the third day, Liu Dehui carefully put away the design drawings and kept them close to his body.
After UI, I took the people on the return train.
They want to go back as soon as possible to make 'Optimus Prime' and let people see the real thing as soon as possible. Is it as domineering as Yang Xiaotao said?
After Liu Dehui and others left, Dai Qinggang and others came to Yang Xiaotao's office again with the revised design drawings.
Yang Xiaotao read it carefully and found that it was similar to what he mentioned before.
The three of them also worked together.
Because on this car, there are shadows from all three parties.
The overall structure of the vehicle is different from ordinary trucks, with folded corners on the body, increased thickness in key parts, and a machine gun on the head.
There are also shooting holes on both sides of the car. Except that no missiles are installed, the other design is in line with the current trend.
Knowing that this was already agreed upon by the three parties, he immediately stopped thinking about it and asked people to find Pang Guo, and then headed to the workshop to start manufacturing.
Unlike Quancheng Automobile Factory, they are here to seek cooperation.
The armored transport vehicle is the task of the machinery factory itself.
Dai Qinggang and the others are just here to help.
Soon, Pang Guo found Liu Daming, who was manufacturing engines, and explained the situation carefully.
After Liu Daming heard what Yang Xiaotao had personally told him, he immediately cheered up and started to prepare.
