Chapter 590: Bulletproof Material (Part 1)

Henry Royce, the founder of Rolls-Royce, had a hard time thinking about the material of the dashboard when he was building a car. He searched for many types of materials, and deliberately chose materials with the same texture and color, so that no traces of seams can be seen at the joints.

Through repeated trials of hundreds of precious woods, Henry Rice found that American black walnut not only has beautiful texture, but also has a hard texture and strong durability.

After being carefully polished, the surface of the black walnut is as bright as a mirror, and the stitching is tight, which looks flawless. This is exactly the quality of Rolls-Royce in every detail. In the end, black walnut became the choice for making Rolls-Royce dashboards, and black walnuts with the same texture were even registered and filed in case they were damaged.

Of course, later Rolls-Royce also allowed customers to choose their favorite wood and leather, and customize it completely according to the customer's preferences.

Whether it is walnut or cherry wood, it does not belong to China's traditional noble wood. In Guo Tailai's understanding, golden silk nanmu and gloomy wood are the only ones for the emperor, at least mahogany.

But there is still a reason why luxury cars choose walnut or cherry wood. These woods are not deformed. The most important thing is that the waterproof performance is better than mahogany, and the color is easier to match with other decorative colors in the car. But in Guo Tailai's eyes, these wood species are not noble enough.

Whether it is traditional mahogany, Hainan huanghuali, or red sandalwood, they may not be good enough in terms of waterproofing. Golden nanmu also has the same problem. However, car accessories boards do not need to be soaked in water every day. As long as they are fully waterproofed, the chances of luxury cars coming into contact with water may not be too many, and there should be no major problems. At most, when you buy a car, explain it more, so that it can be maintained like furniture during daily use and maintenance. If not, you can also distribute maintenance oil.

Of course, even if these woods are not good, then the gloomy wood will be fine, right?

Gloomy wood is also called ebony. Due to the movement of the earth's crust, under the action of earthquakes, floods, and debris flows, animals and plants are buried in low-lying places such as ancient river beds. Some trees sunk into the water and buried in the silt, under the conditions of salt deficiency and high pressure, due to the action of bacteria and other microorganisms, after thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years of carbonization, they form dark wood, so they are also called "carbonized wood". Trees submerged in water and buried in the soil, regardless of their species, can be called gloomy wood as long as they meet the conditions and have been carbonized. It is completely different in concept and essence from the ebony in the national standard and cannot be confused.

In the past dynasties of China, ebony was used as a thing to ward off evil spirits, and it was used to make handicrafts, Buddha statues, and amulet pendants. The ancients said: "Having half a square of ebony at home is better than a box of treasures."

If you are lucky enough to meet Jinsinan and Yinshenmu, ha, that is definitely the luck of several lifetimes. If this material can be used in the car, car owners who like it can wake up from their dreams with laughter!

"Go to buy, to order, to ask for purchase, to find experts to select materials everywhere, and to bring back samples to study waterproof technology." Guo Tailai unceremoniously directed the personnel in charge of procurement in the tackling team, and all raw material costs were calculated in Of the 2.5 billion, Guo Tailai commanded without guilt.

You can also prepare some American black walnuts. Foreigners may not be able to understand the meaning of these precious woods in China, so use the materials they are used to. Of course, this is an option among the interiors that customers choose according to their own preferences when ordering, and the price can vary greatly.

"What is high-end and high-style? What is high-end? This is it!" Guo Tailai said without hesitation. Since Dahongqi wants to build the most luxurious car, the designer and manufacturer must have this high-end concept in mind, and they must also keep it in mind when they start.

The old masters were even more shocked when they heard these words. The luxury they thought before was not on the same level as Guo Tailai's! No wonder, the masters are pure proletarian backgrounds, how do they know the hobbies of decadent capitalists and ancient dignitaries!

Zhang is always the leader of the fortified team, but everything is under Guo Tailai's command. Originally, he was still a little apprehensive, but after seeing the appearance of the model and the W12 engine that had already started debugging, he was already full of confidence. But now, hearing that Guo Tailai can even exaggerate an interior dashboard to such an extent, he couldn't help being amazed. At the same time, it seemed as if a door had been pushed open in my mind, and it immediately opened up.

"Look all over the country!" Guo Tailai only asked for materials to make samples of a few cars, but Mr. Zhang saw hope. Some wood is available, and some are simply legendary. Waving banknotes, there is no place to buy them, such as Jinsinnan gloomy wood, as long as you come across it, you must hoard it first and then talk about it! Even if the car is not needed, selling it is still a profit!

Next, Guo Tailai began to assign various procurement tasks. Car air conditioners, stereos, instrument panels, central controls, the newly released ultra-thin LCD color display, the most high-end bulletproof and explosion-proof tires, etc., are all designated by at least three manufacturers to order a few top-level sets for selection. Almost all of them have to choose the most high-end and best ones, which stunned the masters who modified the cars before.

In addition, Guo Tailai even asked for a standard maritime satellite communication system, which made everyone dumbfounded. It was just a car, and it ran on land. What kind of maritime satellite phone should it be equipped with? But Mr. Zhang understands that smooth communication is also one of the links that high-end customers must consider.

From the beginning of design, Guo Tailai has considered production issues. Big Red Flag is a work that carries Guo Tailai to make up for regrets, and it is also a work that carries Mr. Zhang's dream. The two of them would never like to see anyone hold back. Great attention has been paid to it from the very beginning.

"Don't have the idea that as long as it is qualified, you must think about every process and every step of any car. This is to build a car for the country's leaders." Guo Tailai instilled in everyone Such a thought: "Every car in the future will be like this, insisting on the highest quality and the most perfect service. If you can't do this, then don't be a big red flag, and you can be a Xiali or an Alto. Well, in short, don’t tarnish the name Dahongqi.”

Also adhering to the concept of handcrafting the best products, which of the master craftsmen who participated in the production of the big red flag would not want to restore the glory of the big red flag? Who doesn't want Dahongqi to be brilliant on the world stage? Seeing the newly designed clay model, and hearing Guo Tailai's requirements for various parts for the interior, everyone is gearing up and screaming, waiting to show their skills.

The purchases that should be purchased, the ones that should be pondered by themselves, are busy.

Now, Guo Tailai has to consider the safety of the car. Which kind of bulletproof armor to use has become the most critical issue.
