Chapter 510 The Real Reason

Looking at the frustrated Terry, I suddenly said, "What if I could fix this car?"

"Repair it?" Terry was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to suddenly think of something. "That's right! Just because we can't repair it here doesn't mean Longyuan Group can't do it! Come on, come on, we'll go right away."

Because Terry was so impatient that I couldn't stand his urging, so I had to call the branch office in the United States, and then a tow truck was dispatched to drag Terry's black ghost to Longyuan Group's location. The local private airport was then packed and transported to the Longyuan Heavy Industry branch in Detroit using a transport plane that Terry found.

Detroit is a famous automobile city in the United States with a good industrial foundation. Our automobile maintenance plant in the United States is located here in Longyuan. As for Terry's car, because the material is quite special, ordinary sheet metal is useless and can only be replaced. To be honest, in order to repair this car for Terry this time, we invested quite a lot. We stopped the repair shop here and all the senior technicians came to help repair this car. The time cost alone was terrifying. . You must know that these people who help repair the car are senior technicians. Just like an F1 racing driver and a truck driver pulling earth at a construction site, they both drive, but can their wages be the same? Although these technicians are strictly car repairmen, the salary earned by each of them is several times higher than the combined salary of all the repairmen in an entire large 4S shop. You may not always have time here, but many supercars need to be booked in advance for modification here.

Although this group of people say they are car repairmen, in fact their specialty is not repairing, but modifying cars. This factory is said to be a repair shop, but in fact it should be called a modification factory. Its main business is to modify general-purpose cars according to customer needs. As long as you think about it, whether it's comfort, appearance, handling, mechanical performance or anything else. As long as you want to modify it, you can do it here. Of course, the premise is that you have money. Usually the price of a rebuilt car here is not cheaper than buying a new one, and it is normal for it to be several times higher. A rich man once asked us to modify a large SUV with higher protection capabilities and more powerful power. To put it simply, he wants to turn his SUV into an armored vehicle that can outrun a supercar.

Although this kind of weird request is relatively unconventional, since it is the request of the customer. And they threw away 100 million US dollars in one go, so we still took the order.

The car that came out in the end was a monster in my opinion, and in fact, the car he sent was not modified at all. What he was given in the end was actually a re-produced car, because it seemed that except for the driver's and passenger's seats, which were still original, almost everything in the original car had been replaced. So, it is actually to remove the seats from the original car and put them into a new car.

The outer shell of this new car is completely built according to the outer shell shape of the original car, so it seems that there is not much change. However, the entire outer shell of the vehicle was replaced with atomic armor and was appropriately thickened. Places such as the doors, chassis, and roof are no longer hollow excuses wrapped in thin aluminum skin. Instead, they are all designed with three layers of armor plates plus composite fillers. The final result was that the large SUV that originally weighed two tons was turned into a monster that weighed five and a half tons because the body material was too thick and there was a lot of padding with armor plates. So self-respect is scary. In order to have enough power for such a heavy car, we ultimately did not install an internal combustion engine at all, because none of the existing gasoline engines and diesel engines can make this car as fast as a sports car.

Everyone should know that in fact, when the volume is the same. The output power of electric motors is much greater than that of gasoline engines or diesel engines, and as the size increases, the output power of electric motors increases. This ratio will continue to expand. So, why are there still many gasoline or diesel cars among modern cars, but not all electric cars? The answer is simple. Because of the battery. Batteries store much less energy per unit weight than fuel, so if you need to run the same distance. Electric vehicles need to carry a larger volume and heavier energy source than internal combustion vehicles, that is, batteries. This increased volume and weight just offset the advantages brought by the electric motor. What's even worse is that the battery charges too slowly, will age over time, and some batteries are prone to explosion, which are all bad situations.

However, the above mentioned batteries are all under normal circumstances. This tycoon is different from ordinary people. He is very rich, so he can use some technologies that are not available on ordinary cars.

In order to ensure the power of this car, we installed four electric motors with 2,000 horsepower each, just like an electric bicycle, inside the four wheels. The difference is that its power is exaggerated. In addition, a shrunken version of a military model super electromagnetic engine is installed in the body. This thing was originally an auxiliary steering device for space fighters. In addition to improving the power of the car, its main function when installed in the car is to assist in stabilizing the car when turning.

A car that weighs five and a half tons, no matter how powerful it is, will have irresistible inertia when turning. No matter how powerful the car is, the grip of the wheels is limited after all. If the speed is too high, it will slip. This is an unavoidable problem in the mechanical system. . Therefore, the super electromagnetic engine has become an inevitable existence, because only it can achieve vector propulsion in the true sense, the direction of the power is completely controllable, and it will not cause harm to people or objects outside the vehicle. Things like rocket-assisted turning assist have been installed on cars before, but the thrust generated by the booster rocket when turning will blow away all the people, vehicles or houses in the outer lane. That thing is simply lethal. Weapons are really not suitable for mounting in a car.

It's different with a super electromagnetic engine. This thing can output vector thrust. It can push forward when accelerating, push backward when braking, and push toward the inside of the curve when turning. When encountering potholes, muddy roads or dangerous bridges, etc. It can be pushed upwards, using the thrust of the super electromagnetic engine to resist gravity to reduce the pressure of the body on the ground, so that it will not get stuck in the mud. Moreover, because the super electromagnetic engine on this vehicle can actually generate up to six tons of stable thrust, this vehicle can take off and leave the ground on the spot when there are no more than two people on board. Of course. After all, this thing is not an airplane, so it has no stabilizer. If it really flies, it will overturn if the weight is slightly tilted. Therefore, this thing actually has no flying ability, it can just float.

Although this car has basically nothing to do with the original car, the owner of the car was very happy anyway. Later, it was said that the rich man was attacked, the bodyguard cars in the convoy were destroyed by rocket launchers, and his car was also directly hit by a rocket launcher. Overturned on the side of the road. The rich man was also stunned. However, the person who wanted to kidnap him circled the car for more than ten minutes but could not get the door open. In the end, they had to drag the car away with him. As a result, Monopoly's bodyguard woke up halfway and started the car and broke the fastener. The chain was removed from the trailer, and then Monopoly just stayed there and ran back.

Afterwards, the rich man came to have the vehicle repaired by the repair shop here, and placed an order for two more similar vehicles with different shapes for his wife and children.

This matter is very widespread among car lovers in the United States, and Americans who like cars basically know something about it. After all, such a magical car is indeed rare, but most people just hear about it. Not everyone can afford a car worth 100 million US dollars. At least don't think about it if your assets are less than 5 billion. After all, it's impossible for the rich to use all their wealth to buy a car, right? If you can spend 100 million to buy a car, your own net worth must be at least 5 billion.

Terry obviously also knows about our Longyuan factory. So to be honest, I even suspected that he crashed the car on purpose this time, just to help him get here to modify his car while I was there. As for whether this is the case...it is actually very easy to prove.

If Terry asks me to install a super electromagnetic engine on this car later, it means that he did it on purpose. If not, there are only two possibilities: half and half. The reason is since that Monopoly. We have stopped installing super electromagnetic engines on modified cars here. As for why it is no longer installed, it is mainly because the superconductors used to produce super electromagnetic engines are currently strategic resources and are difficult to obtain. After all, countries are stepping up their efforts to build immigration ships, and the super electromagnetic engine itself is an important part of the immigration ship. Therefore, room-temperature superconductors, the main material for building super electromagnetic engines, have become strategic materials controlled by various countries. It is very difficult for ordinary units to obtain even a tiny bit.

Maybe Terry came to me just so that his car could be equipped with a super electromagnetic engine. After all, this thing is simply a cheating device for cars. When drag racing, the competition is about curves. If there is only a straight track, there is no need for Buehler. Whoever has the fastest car will win. There is no suspense at all. However, because there are bound to be turns on any track, when turning, in order to prevent the car from running out of the corner due to inertia, it is necessary to slow down. Technologies such as drifting or tail flicking can only reduce the impact of inertia to a certain extent. The car itself still needs to slow down. A car that can corner at full speed has not appeared at least so far.

However, with the super electromagnetic engine, although the vehicle still cannot corner at full speed, at least it can turn at a much faster speed than others. Others need to slow down to less than 100 kilometers to turn the corner, and it is equipped with a super electromagnetic engine. A car with an engine can be driven past at a speed of 200 kilometers. For such a shameless car, as long as the driver is not really bad, it is probably not easy to lose in a normal race.

After we entered the repair shop, Terry's car was quickly put on the lift and jacked up. After a group of technicians gathered around to inspect it, the boss here came over and asked us how we wanted to repair it.

I turned directly to look at Terry, and the other party understood that this matter was decided by Terry, so he also looked at Terry. Terry said with some embarrassment: "Well, don't be too exaggerated. I just want the car to return to its original shape."

"Your frame is made of carbon fiber. This material is disposable and malleable. It is not impossible to repair it, but it is best to replace it as a whole." The technician said.

Terry nodded and said: "I know. Then please give me another set, preferably one made of high-strength lightweight material."

"Excuse me, what level of high strength is this? Do you want it to be just a little stronger, or do you want it to be bulletproof, or simply able to block anti-tank missiles?"

Terry immediately said: "Don't be so exaggerated. It can block ordinary bullets. If it's a rocket launcher, just don't KO it directly with one shot."

"Depending on what you mean, you can consider atomic armor, phase shift armor, hybrid ceramic armor or H122 zinc-titanium alloy. However, these materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which one do you want? Or are you not interested in the performance of these things? I understand you very well, do you need me to explain?”

"No, I understand." Terry is a car fan. Of course, he knows these things very well. Now I am basically sure that he did it on purpose. This guy saw the opportunity and came here. He had probably done his homework before. "Well, I prefer to use atomic armor as the chassis and support reinforcement materials. It is best to use phase shift armor for the outer shell."

"It seems that you are an expert." The other party complimented him and said, "If that's the case. After modification, your car will weigh about 1.3 tons. Although this weight is higher than most sports cars, its strength is here after all. , so this is inevitable. But fortunately, it is not much heavier. So, how do you want to adjust the speed? Your car originally has four Siemens H211 wheel motors, each wheel has 500 horsepower. In addition, the car There are two sets of internal combustion units inside. However, one of them has been scrapped. Do you plan to continue using this configuration or do you want to replace it?"

“What’s the best wheel motor model you have here?”

The technician didn't answer directly when he heard this question, but looked towards me. I understood what he meant and said directly without hesitation: "Give him the best."

"DX17 dual-cycle quantum engine, the peak output of a single motor is 3900 kilowatts. The maximum torque is 4212Nm. It is used internally by Longyuan and will never be sold outside. It is a few blocks away from the motor you used before."

"This is good, this is good." Terry couldn't close his mouth when he heard this data.

"If it's just a sports car, this kind of power is definitely overpowering. After all, your car is only over a ton, and with this kind of weight and this kind of power, the speed is almost as fast as a rocket. The speed of the car depends entirely on the grip and road conditions. I don’t think you need any other motivation, right?”

"Then what..." Terry struggled for a long time and said: "I actually hope to install a super electromagnetic engine." After Terry finished speaking, he didn't look at the technician, looked directly at me and said: "That's great, I'll get it later." Just send over 100 kilograms of superconductors.”

Although the Americans were the inventors of the super electromagnetic engine, they all made extra-large engines for use on immigrant ships. Because we at Longyuan are responsible for the "Navigator Project", we also need to design and manufacture space fighters and individual equipment, so we have designed micro super electromagnetic engines. This is why Terry can obviously get a lot of superconductors but can't get a super electromagnetic engine for cars.

I didn't hesitate, but nodded directly to the technician. "Get him one."

"What? What model do you use?" The technician looked at me and said, "We currently have three versions here, each belonging to the third generation of products."

"I want the latest one." Terry shouted directly.

"Give him the latest."

The technician nodded and said: "The latest super electromagnetic engine is the smallest in size and has a maximum thrust of less than three tons."

"Hey, wait a minute. Why is the output of the latest model so low? Didn't the last one you got for that upstart in Barcelona have six tons of thrust? Why is this one less than half that?"

"Because the latest super electromagnetic engine is only one-fifth the size of the original one, almost as big as an electric fan. Your car weighs more than a ton, which is much more than the weight of your body. And the latest generation of super electromagnetic engine The vector control of the engine is more sensitive and can achieve smooth thrust transfer without the obvious sense of frustration as before. And if you feel that the thrust is not enough, you can consider installing two more. Anyway, with the new generation of super electromagnetic engine The size means it won’t be a problem to fit five or six into your car.”

"Just give him four." I said directly.

Terry glanced at me and said nothing, after all, I gave him four. This output is already nearly ten times the weight of the vehicle body. Besides, this car doesn’t need to fly, so such a large amount of power is definitely excessive.

After finalizing the details, the design team quickly came up with a transformation plan, and then began to use a 3D printer to make parts and process them. To be honest, Terry's car this time is definitely the same as the rich man's last time. It's almost like a new car. The only remaining parts are probably the car stereo and the seat cushions.

While the car was still being repaired, Terry suddenly pulled me to an uninhabited area, and then said: "Shenlin. Since you were so helpful today, I won't let you suffer. I'll give you a piece of news. In fact, tonight It’s not that I invited you to play, but there are other reasons. Almost most of the upper-class people in the United States will be there. Of course, I am talking about the part except the government officials. "

"So, does this party have another purpose?"

"Yes, but I can't tell you what the specific thing is. What I can tell you is that you don't have to worry. This is a test. It will not cause any harm to you. Instead, you will get a prize. In addition, the results of this test may It will affect the actions of some people here in the United States in the future, so I will give you a reminder as a friend. I hope you can behave better at night. It will be good for you."

I just nodded when I heard Terry's words and didn't ask any more questions because I knew he wouldn't say anything if I asked. The fact that Terry could say so much has been a great help to me. It seems like we really need to be more careful tonight. (To be continued ~^~)
