Taylor Motors' original three large factories were adjusted after Chen Mo acquired the company and renamed it Aegis Motor Company.
After the original automobile production workshop merged the equipment and personnel of the special vehicle modification workshop, and adjusted and upgraded the production line, it became the production center of the company's only product, off-road bulletproof vehicles.
The original special vehicle modification workshop was emptied out, and a large number of large-scale special alloy smelting, casting, forging and processing equipment were re-installed, and turned into a production center for new engines and special alloy bodies.
Another parts processing and chassis production workshop did not make much adjustment, but the raw materials for the production of some important parts and chassis were replaced with new H-2 special alloys, and some laser cutting machines and CNC machining centers were replaced and upgraded.
and other processing equipment.
A lot of money was spent, and the workshop adjustments and equipment upgrades were quickly completed. This is the United States after all, and there is no ban on the sale of high-precision CNC processing equipment. As long as you have money, you can easily buy the most advanced equipment.
Although it is incomparable to the top equipment from Hydra in Chen Mo's space, it is still sufficient for the current production of bulletproof off-road vehicles.
After Chen Mo completed the most difficult part of the modification work alone, the personnel, equipment, and site were in place, and the drawing modifications of the car chassis, body, and engine were quickly completed with the efforts of all employees in the R&D and design departments.
After everything was ready, the entire production line was started directly and put into production.
The first car quickly rolled off the production line. During the test run, in addition to the workers still on the production line, almost all the idle personnel from the R&D, design and administrative departments came to the side of the test site.
They wanted to see how the model performed after being personally improved by Chen Mo, the powerful new boss.
After Chen Mo successfully improved the new engine and greatly improved the engine performance, no one would doubt Chen Mo's ability.
They just want to know how far this car can reach and whether their company can rise with it!
In the expectant eyes of everyone, a large black off-road vehicle with a majestic appearance and more like a sporty urban SUV slowly drove out from the gate of the production workshop, drove smoothly to the test field and stopped.
The body of this vehicle is calm and majestic. Unlike those large civilian armored off-road vehicles, it does not look like a military armored vehicle. The edges and corners are too tough and bold, for fear that others will not know that it is a bulletproof vehicle.
It is not as bloated and bulky as ordinary bulletproof off-road vehicles, but has smooth lines like a brisk conventional SUV. The overall shape gives people a calm and atmospheric feeling, but also has a sense of fashion and sportiness, and does not look bulletproof at all.
The car is bloated and heavy.
Although this car looks more like an urban sports SUV and seems to be more focused on speed, its off-road performance is actually very powerful.
Not to mention ordinary road conditions, even if you encounter more complex and rugged road sections, the original chassis height cannot be easily passed. As long as you switch to the powerful off-road mode, the chassis will be raised to the highest level, and the minimum ground clearance will be more than 50 centimeters.
Although it cannot ignore the terrain like the Ghost Chariot, it is enough to handle all kinds of rugged roads, and its off-road performance is no worse than any off-road vehicle, or even much better.
All obstacle tests were passed easily, and other steep slopes, wading, side slopes, U-shaped bridges and other projects were also passed perfectly, and the performance was extremely amazing.
The subsequent speed test made everyone present shine. The appearance of a sports SUV has powerful off-road capabilities that surpass those of hardcore off-road vehicles, and its speed performance is comparable to that of a sports car.
It only takes 3.6 seconds to accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour, 12.8 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 200 kilometers per hour, and the top speed can reach 305 kilometers per hour.
The braking system also has outstanding performance, with the braking distance from 100 kilometers per hour to rest being only 33.7 meters.
These powerful performances are even better than ordinary sports cars, and can be said to be on par with top-level sports cars.
However, this is an off-road vehicle after all. In order to ensure the comfort of the interior space, the overall volume is relatively large. Although the external dimensions of the body have been optimized to reduce wind resistance as much as possible, it is still slightly larger than those of the top super sports cars.
Inferior.
But this is enough. After all, this is not a sports car designed specifically for the pursuit of speed. It is surprising enough that an off-road vehicle can have performance comparable to a top sports car.
Judging from today's test results, whether it is in terms of off-road capability or speed, this car's performance is perfect, and everyone present can't help but feel excited.
This combination of top off-road + top sports car has never been seen before. The huge difference in chassis and appearance alone makes it impossible to combine the two in one car.
The stronger the off-road ability, the weaker the speed performance. Similarly, the faster the speed, the worse the off-road ability.
The huge size and wind resistance of off-road vehicles make it impossible for them to run too fast, and the low chassis of sports cars does not allow them to drive on slightly bumpy roads.
The two can be said to be contradictory and antagonistic to each other, but now, it seems impossible to balance these two. The two opposing attributes that appear in the same car at the same time are realized here, not to mention the customers, it is them.
Now I can’t wait to drive one back, no matter how much it costs!
At this moment, they have no doubt about the future sales of this car, or they should consider whether the production capacity can keep up. General Manager Michael has begun to consider purchasing a fully automatic production line. If they want to significantly increase production, it is best to
The only solution is to replace the fully automated automobile production line.
An automated automobile production line can produce 50,000 automobiles per year, which is more than 20 times their previous annual automobile output.
The off-road capability test and speed test were all completed. The excellent performance of this car made everyone present full of confidence in the company's prospects. Almost everyone thought that the test of this car ended here. As for the initial
Everyone knows that the original bulletproof armor has been almost completely cancelled, leaving only bulletproof glass, and the body shell has been replaced with a three-millimeter-thick alloy steel plate. It must be very strong, but whether it can be bulletproof is a matter of two questions.
Said.
No one thinks that this three-millimeter alloy steel plate can compare with the original thick bulletproof armor composed of multiple layers of bulletproof materials.
So when the car was driven to an open space at the end of the test site and all of them were driven outside the safety cordon, everyone had puzzled faces.
What is this for? Why are the cordons set up?
It wasn't until a machine gun was set up opposite the off-road vehicle that everyone finally realized that this was actually going to be a bulletproof performance test!
It's just that the three-millimeter-thick alloy steel plate is nothing to test. Under the machine gun fire, it will be shot into a sieve in seconds!
Does the boss want to destroy cars for fun? I heard that many rich people like to use machine guns to destroy various famous cars for excitement. Does their young boss also have this hobby?
No one thought this bulletproof test was of any significance, but their curiosity still drove them to stay and continue watching.
Continuous gunfire soon rang out, and machine guns began to fire at the off-road vehicle. Bullets hit the body, doors, hood and window glass one after another.
Before anyone could notice the damage to the car body, the slightly damaged glass surface that had just been hit by a bullet quickly raised a series of baffles with the same color as the car body, covering the glass including the front and rear windshields and all windows.
All were blocked, and a baffle was lowered from the upper casing for the four tires, completely blocking the tires and wrapping them inside.
The entire vehicle body is now completely wrapped in pitch-black alloy steel plates. Originally, the vehicle's weakest defenses and most easily destroyed by sustained attacks are on the bulletproof glass and bulletproof tires. With the addition of this layer of alloy steel plates on the outside, the off-road vehicles have the weakest defenses.
The link was made up.
Coupled with a layer of special alloy steel plate covering the lower part of the chassis that is the same as the body shell, the vehicle's defense is integrated and there is no need to worry about being breached through weak points in the defense.
The principle of this layer of baffle is very simple. It is just like adding a layer of alloy steel plate windows that can be quickly raised and lowered on the outer layer of the glass and tires. The principle is similar to that of ordinary car window glass lifting, but the design
It is more clever, expands faster, and can be opened manually or automatically after being attacked.
After all the glass is blocked, multiple cameras hidden in the front, rear and sides of the car body will display the outside image in real time on the transparent display inside the glass. It will look the same as usual and will not affect normal driving at all.
The sudden change of the off-road vehicle shocked everyone. While they were surprised by this ingenious design, everyone finally turned their attention to the body of the vehicle that was under attack.
In order to prevent being accidentally injured by stray bullets, the security cordon was stretched far away, so they couldn't actually see very clearly.
They could only vaguely see that with the bullets hitting the car body, the original black paint was destroyed, and "bullet holes" that glowed silver in the sun appeared one after another, as if they had been directly penetrated by bullets.
.
The sound of the machine gun lasted for a full minute before it finally stopped. During this minute, the machine gun fired nearly a thousand rounds of bullets at the off-road vehicle parked there for testing. The entire left side of the car body, the side facing the machine gun, was almost completely covered with bullets.
It was plowed from beginning to end, and dense silver dots covered this side of the car body.
Next was the attack test of grenades and landmines. Several grenades were fixed to a remote control triggering device one meter away from the vehicle body by the tester. After withdrawing to a safe distance and confirming that there was no problem, several grenades were detonated directly by remote control.
Several loud explosions sounded almost at the same time, and pellet fire exploded around the off-road vehicle. The fireworks dispersed. In addition to the dense silver dots, there were several more black and gray explosion marks on the vehicle body, but it seemed that
It was not torn apart by the force of the grenade explosion.
It seems that this three millimeter thick steel plate is quite strong!
The onlookers who didn't know much about the power of grenades couldn't help but think to themselves.
Finally, a landmine placed under the car body was detonated. A huge explosion was accompanied by violent fire and vibrations. The heavy car body, which was more than five meters long and weighed 2.5 tons, was lifted from the ground by the powerful thrust generated by the explosion.
Then it fell heavily and stood quietly on the spot, seemingly unharmed.
Due to the limitations of the site, the test of more powerful weapons was not continued. However, the defensive capabilities of this off-road vehicle can be basically inferred from the results of the previous tests.
After the test was completed, the cordon was finally lifted. People who had been watching from a distance and couldn't see clearly couldn't help but come closer to see what happened to the car after being repeatedly ravaged by these powerful weapons.
The people who came closer looked at the messy car body carefully. At this look, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. How could this be possible?
The nearly a thousand "bullet holes" on the car body turned out to be just pieces of paint that had been chipped away from the surface, revealing the dots of the original color of the special alloy plate. Although there was some deformation, it was not serious, just a slight dent.
That's all.
Look at this, if you want to use this machine gun to penetrate the steel plate of the car body, you have to fire dozens of shots at the same place.
The explosion did less damage to the alloy steel plate. It only destroyed a larger area of the car paint and made the surface messy. However, the deformation of the steel plate was very slight, and the body structure did not change at all.
It can be seen that the overall frame structure of the car body is very strong, and the huge impact of the explosion did not deform the frame. In fact, the destructive power of this large-area attack on the alloy steel plate is not as good as machine gun bullets, so the steel plates on the surface of the car body are not
It suffered substantial damage and completely withstood the power of the explosion.
It turns out that this off-road vehicle did not give up its bulletproof function as they thought, and instead pursued speed and off-road performance. Judging from its performance just now, it is not only that it has not given up, it has also been strengthened and is better than the original bulletproof function.
The level is even higher!
But how is this possible?!
The drawings were all modified by them personally, and all the original bulletproof armor materials on the body were obviously removed and replaced with three millimeter thick alloy steel plates.
However, they had some doubts about this alloy steel plate that is more than three times thicker than the conventional car casing. They originally thought it was superfluous. Now it seems that it is very likely that this layer of alloy steel plate with a thickness of three millimeters plays a role in making it thicker than before.
Bulletproof materials need to have more powerful bulletproof functions!
Their boss has spent a lot of money to build a body shell made of very expensive super alloy? So how much does this car cost? Tens of millions or hundreds of millions? Does the boss plan to take the top-end route?
