Chapter 1892 Salute and Launch (Part 1)
When a bird enters the forest, a hundred birds suppress the sound. The release of this engine data has achieved this effect.
In this industry, those who make complete vehicles and those who make engines count as one, and they are all silent, looking at the two figures officially announced by Pagani.
5,400 horsepower was beyond the expectations of all OEMs and engine manufacturers, more than twice their estimate. If there are only two thousand horsepower or three thousand horsepower, maybe everyone can accept it calmly, but five thousand four hundred horsepower, is this used in cars?
If you really decide to do it, so many powerful manufacturers may not be able to produce such a high-power engine. Some mining trucks may have even higher power, but the question is, whether it is volume or weight, can the engines used on those large trucks be packed into a small supercar shell?
High-power engines are not uncommon. In fact, in the drag races in the United States, there are some modified engines with more than 10,000 horsepower, but they can also take into account the volume and weight of the sports car, and even mass-produce the engine with a long enough life. That's another story. Most drag race engines are one-time consumables or cannot be used normally at all. For example, can a car with an aircraft engine several meters long be seen on the road?
Even if it can be made, the size can be reduced, but can a mass-produced design like Mr. T's lifespan be achieved in a short period of time? In short, this engine is enough to make people in related professions worship it to the point of worship. This engine should squeeze the output power to the extreme.
The same is true for non-professionals, even those who don't know much about cars, can know what it is as long as they have driven a car. My own family car with more than 100 horsepower and more than 200 horsepower already feels that its performance is good. If you dare to advertise high horsepower with 300 horsepower, what does it feel like to have 5,400 horsepower? Can the combined power of three and a half Abrams tank engines be crushed? Maybe it can be installed on the tank to turn the tank into a sports car.
The ones who touched me the most were of course the car media. As soon as the data of this engine came out, they recalled the words of Shu Niuhe and Heng Jining, and suddenly they understood the two top racers.
The test drive must first understand the performance of the engine. On the premise of knowing the performance of the engine, it seems that no record of the test can bring them more expectations and surprises! With such an engine, it should be able to achieve astonishing results, and maybe even achieve better results.
I see! That's right!
Next, various auto media websites did one thing invariably. They combined several announcements of Pagani and reassembled them into a new announcement. Combining the announcements of Michelin and the content of the two interviews of Schuniuhe and Hunkkinen, they made a special topic together in their respective Displayed at the top of the website in a conspicuous position.
I don't know who proposed it, but these media websites all agree that from the time Pagani releases the official announcement, within 24 hours, no other news in the automotive industry will be updated.
As a tribute to Mr. T's farewell to the supercar industry.
At the beginning, it was only the automobile media websites that did this, but soon the agreement in this industry was known by some portal news websites, and maybe these websites also felt that they should do something, so, in the automobile section of various media news portal websites, They all made the same decision, display the data of Mr. T's new car on the top, and do not update any news in the auto industry within 24 hours, so as to pay tribute to Mr. T's farewell work and Mr. T himself.
Fortunately, there were not many major racing events on that day, otherwise, if we really wanted to follow this behavior, the results might not be able to be broadcast.
However, to be recognized by people in the industry and allow the media in the industry to react like this, Guo Tailai is once again unprecedented.
When Pagani first released the new car data, Guo Tailai was still flying over the Atlantic Ocean, but when Guo Tailai landed in the capital, stayed in the capital for two days to rest from jet lag, and rushed to the shipyard, it was already time for the media to pay their respects.
The senior sister has absolute confidence in Guo Tailai, so she never cared about the previous media smears, and knowing that it was Pagani's publicity strategy, she didn't take it to heart. But when the performance data of the new car was released one after another, even though Zhao Yanyan thought she was fully prepared, she was still taken aback by those numbers. Especially the data of the final engine is simply challenging the psychological limit!
"Fatty, are you going to let your gasoline engine challenge the tank engine?" Facing the unimaginable number, the senior sister let out a heartfelt exclamation.
"Actually not." Guo Tailai smiled and clinked glasses with his beloved senior sister and took a sip of champagne for celebration before replying: "I just don't want to play supercars anymore, so I just left a car that no one else will surpass in a short time. So complicated."
The senior sister gave Guo Tailai a charming look, and had a drink with the fat man. Fatty really pays attention to enjoyment now. On the way from Beijing to Jinmen Shipyard, he was still sitting in an armored bus, and there was even a wine cabinet in the bus ready to enjoy at any time. Fortunately, today's task is to accompany my fat man, otherwise drinking would be a violation of discipline.
There is a computer in the bus, which can be connected to the satellite network at any time, and the senior sister immediately saw the salutes from various car media. I couldn't help but watched several different car media, and then connected to several news websites, all of them were doing the same thing. Now, Zhao Yanyan was even more excited. How many people in this world can make the whole industry respect from the heart and take action?
Maybe I can count some, but my own fat man is also among them, and he is also one of them. Even if this kind of honor is not for me, the senior sister is still proud and honored from the bottom of her heart.
The Treasure Ship was built on the 40,000-ton berth of a large shipyard in Jinmen. Several military shipyards coordinated by the final assembly and several large civilian shipyards coordinated by the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Commission mobilized elite soldiers and generals. After a year and a half, it was finally completely completed, the quality inspection had passed, and it was only waiting for Guo Tai to come to complete the handover and launching ceremony.
When he arrived at the place, Guo Tailai saw a bunch of people waiting before he saw the boat. Fortunately, there are acquaintances among them, Brother Hai is here, and Director Wang of the Ship Management Office is also there, all of them are beaming and waiting for his arrival as the ship's owner.
After exchanging pleasantries, they finally came to the berth. Afterwards, Guo Tailai was surprised to find that there was not one ship to be handed over, but two.
The Treasure Ship was delivered together with another larger ship of similar color and style, one size smaller than the Treasure Ship.
