Chapter 285: A Gift to the Military (I)
"The last time I went to Germany, I met a senior student from the School of Mechanical Design of the Technical University of Munich, who has a high talent in heavy-duty diesel engine design, and has signed a contract with MTU before graduation, but I pulled it over, and we cooperated in the design of a two-stroke liquid-cooled inline eight-cylinder heavy-duty diesel engine, although it is two-stroke, but in addition to the fuel consumption is 30% higher than the heavy-duty diesel engine with the same displacement and power, the others are basically the current international mainstream level."
After a pause, Lin Hongfei added, "This engine was jointly designed by the two of us, you don't have to worry about the performance, I have the bottom in my heart." ”
"Good! That's great! Hearing his son say this, Lin Weiguo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and patted Lin Hongfei's shoulder heavily, "Son, where is this engine, take me to see it!" If this engine is true, I will give you credit in front of the leaders of the military region! ”
Lin Weiguo is so excited and excited, as for the fact that this engine is a two-stroke, and the fuel consumption is 30% higher than that of a four-stroke engine of the same power, Lin Weiguo doesn't care at all: Is our country short of fuel now? Are you kidding! Now we are not short of oil, what we lack is a good engine, which can output 400 horsepower and have 1800 Nm at the same time. meters of maximum torque of heavy-duty diesel engines, our country does not have any! Want to buy with a foreigner? People don't sell to us at all, these days, the whole country and the military up and down, have been driven almost crazy by this status quo that is obviously in demand but there is none!
"Where's this engine? Take me there! After a pause, Lin Weiguo said. Pulling Lin Hongfei out in a hurry.
"Dad, don't worry, I've just finished the paper design now," Lin Hongfei smiled bitterly, "Do you think such a big project can be eaten by a small municipal enterprise?" Secretary Dongfang is now thinking of a way to make our Beijun City get the biggest piece of cake as much as possible. ”
"There's no actual product yet. So why are you telling me this? When he heard that he had just completed the paper design, Lin Weiguo suddenly looked frustrated, "I thought you already had an actual product." ”
However, Lin Weiguo also knew that what his son said was reasonable. Although the soldiers are simple, Lin Weiguo also knows that if there is really such a heavy-duty diesel engine, several major domestic heavy-duty truck manufacturers will not have to break their heads for this? As soon as I think of this. The dissatisfaction in Lin Weiguo's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by an appreciation of Lin Hongfei's cautious approach: Why should someone else rob what my son invented? nodded and said, "But that's fine, with Secretary Dongfang in charge, I can't lose you." ”
The two families of the Dongfang family and the Lin family are now beginning to call themselves "in-laws", and the secretary of Dongfang, as Lin Hongfei's Taishan boss, can't wronged his son-in-law.
"Well, a while ago, for this matter, Secretary Dongfang personally went to the capital. It is estimated that there should be some news feedback this time. Lin Hongfei nodded.
"Then I'll rest assured," Lin Weiguo really didn't want to get involved in these bullshit things that you calculated me and I calculated you, but then he realized another problem. "By the way, is this engine that you and that German friend designed difficult to build? I know that the foundation of our country's engine manufacturing field is very weak, are you sure that these technical indicators designed by you can be realized? ”
Lin Hongfei smiled bitterly, "Dad, I won't hide it from you." This engine is simply designed compared to our current domestic engine processing capacity, otherwise you think about it, what is the maximum output and torque of an inline eight-cylinder two-stroke engine, which is equivalent to the same displacement four-stroke engine in Western countries? It's because our processing foundation is too weak, and we have no choice but to use this method...... It doesn't have to be too high, even if we have the processing level of the Western sixties, I can guarantee that the performance of this engine will be improved by more than 50%. ”…,
So that's what happened. When his son said this, Lin Weiguo couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Also, the advantages of the two-stroke engine are there, if it weren't for the poor engine manufacturing process and level in China at this stage, how could the performance of the two-stroke engine be basically the same as the four-stroke?
When it comes to the current level of engine manufacturing in China, Lin Weiguo can't help but feel a little excited.
Lin Weiguo didn't want to talk about this, Lin Hongfei was even more eager to do so, and asked, "Dad, when are you going back this time?" How many days can you stay here? ”
"Let's go back in three or four days at most, there are still a lot of things going on in the army, what's the matter?"
"Well," Lin Hongfei nodded, looked at everyone mysteriously, and saw that no one cared about his father and son, so he lowered his voice and said to Lin Weiguo, "Dad, I have prepared some good things for you, how about it, are you interested?" ”
"Something mysterious?" Hearing Lin Hongfei say this, Lin Weiguo's interest came up, and he was suddenly a little impatient, "Where?" Take me to see it. ”
Don't look at Lin Weiguo's "disdain" for these things that his son tosses from time to time, but the reason for doing this is nothing more than worrying that his son has made a little bit of progress and cocking his tail indiscriminately, in fact, he is still very proud of Lin Hongfei's achievements, and now when he hears his son say that he has prepared a gift for himself, he can't help but be overjoyed: It should be something good to make his son so mysteriously concealed, right?
…………………………………………
The father and son mysteriously left the engine laboratory and came to a modification workshop in the automobile modification factory, which was extremely large, probably with an area of no less than thousands of square meters, and the innermost place was blocked by a "screen" of a car with wheels installed at the bottom, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Bypassing the screen, a gasping voice suddenly came from behind Lin Hongfei and his son: "Good guy, this is ...... That special assault vehicle used by the U.S. Marine Corps and Navy SEALs? ”
That's right, what was presented in front of Lin Weiguo's eyes. It is almost exactly the same as the special assault vehicle for the US special forces known as the "desert beetle" that was the first ground vehicle to rush to Iraqi territory in the Gulf War and is known as the "desert beetle", with the same low body, the same three-seat layout with two front and one back, the same body structure of steel tube structure and unique desert camouflage paint...... Although it looks like a battered beggar car, only a real soldier knows how strong the fighting power of this car without even a door is!
If it weren't for the fact that this kind of thing would not have been sold by the United States, and the Republic had not even mobilized the country's strength to get a car to study and study, Lin Weiguo almost thought that the car in front of him was a special assault vehicle for the US special forces.
I heard the voice of Director Xie, who didn't know when Lu Dao would catch up behind him. Lin Hongfei was a little depressed in his heart: I'll go, when I came out just now, didn't you have no movement at all, and you were staring at my engine with wide eyes. Why did the kung fu appear behind me like a ghost for a while?
Looking at Lin Hongfei's eyes, how could Lin Weiguo not understand why his son was depressed? Immediately laughed, "Underestimate you Uncle Xie, right?" I'll tell you. Your Uncle Xie is a scout who came down from the front line of Laoshan, can you hide from your Uncle Xie with your little caution? ”
"I heard Lao Lin say that the original tactical guide rail system was still a suggestion put forward by Mr. Lin, let me say, Mr. Lin is so concerned about the modernization of our army, how can he not come up with something real?" Director Xie said with a smile, "Sure enough, Mr. Lin is worthy of being a child of our military family, and this enlightenment is absolutely necessary." ”…,
Everyone is here, what else can Lin Hongfei say? And Lin Hongfei also knew in his heart that Director Xie could come with his father. That says a lot in itself.
"Uncle Xie, don't say that, I'm going to be ashamed," Lin Hongfei looked "ashamed", "I'll tell you, don't look at this thing is very similar to the U.S. Army's Desert Beetle Special Assault Vehicle." However, because the materials are not as good as others, although the structure is basically the same, the performance is still a little worse. ”
Director Xie smiled and nodded. For Lin Hongfei's statement, he was not surprised at all, worse than the Americans' special assault vehicles? This is a matter of course, if Lin Hongfei made this imitation special assault vehicle, it is not much different from the special assault vehicle of the Americans. That's something that's incomprehensible.
"Like, like!" After looking around the car a few times, and even ignoring the dust on the ground and lying on the ground to look at the chassis structure of the car, Director Xie stood up and patted the dust on his hands with satisfaction, "It's quite like that, how is the performance of this car?" Well, the engine looks quite familiar, isn't it using this gasoline engine you just invented? ”
"It's okay, in fact, this car is an experimental car," Lin Hongfei really didn't say much about it, so he could only say vaguely, "We tested it ourselves, and we were basically satisfied, and the passability, stability and carrying capacity were quite satisfactory, what we mean is that if our troops agree, bring this car back to help us test it, and by the way, install heavy machine guns, rockets and other things that can be equipped to see the actual effect." ”
"It's not a big problem to help you test it," Director Xie is very clear about the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the army, especially the combat effectiveness of the unit where Lao Lin is now, and he agreed very happily when he heard this, "But what I'm curious about is how do you know the chassis data of the desert beetle of the Americans?" Well, I see that the car you made is still four-wheel drive, if I'm not mistaken, the special assault vehicle of the Americans is still rear-wheel drive, right? ”
When he said this, Director Xie looked at Lin Hongfei with a sense of scrutiny.
Indeed, in the opinion of Director Xie or even anyone, Lin Hongfei knows too much: we have a strong intelligence agency to support the data of this special assault vehicle used by the US Navy SEALs and the Marine Corps, and we are still unclear about his performance and various parameters, how do you know about Lu Dao?
Lin Hongfei understands that his answer will directly determine the future of this car...... Although Lin Hongfei didn't plan to make much money with this car, he used this car as a stepping stone, and used this car to make the military realize the skill and skill of himself and the Beijun City Industrial Manufacturing Company.
"Actually, it's very simple, there are many things that we can't see in China, but abroad, these materials are easy to find from their official materials...... Germany is one of the most important allies of the United States in Europe, and I wonder if our intelligence personnel in Germany have paid attention to it, and a certain German military publication has made a detailed analysis of the Desert Beetle special assault vehicle used by the United States: The Desert Beetle special assault vehicle that the United States is using now is basically strengthened and improved on the basis of the Beetle civilian car. ”
Lin Hongfei's words made Director Xie have a faint fever on his face.
Special forces are the "vanguard" of all countries in the world in carrying out military tasks, and they are also a "sharp arrow" in the strength of the armed forces of various countries. The "speciality" of the special forces is not only manifested in the unique tasks they perform and the flexibility and variety of combat tactics, but also in their ingenious weapons and equipment. …,
In the armament of special forces, in addition to special weapons such as whispered pistols, underwater pistols, and daggers, special forces often have special "mounts" when performing tasks - this is tactical assault vehicles and special operations vehicles designed for special forces.
In fact, as early as the Second World War, special forces that went deep behind enemy lines to carry out infiltration and sabotage missions used a large number of specially improved and equipped special vehicles. The method of equipping special forces with special vehicles, which is currently recognized by a number of countries. In particular, the United States has always attached great importance to special forces and special vehicles, and has often given them important tasks. Special vehicles were practiced on a large scale during the US military's Operation "Desert Storm".
Although our country does not have a special forces in the true modern sense up to now, the concept of special operations has a long history, and after seeing the power of special forces operations in the just-concluded Gulf War, the central authorities have made great efforts to prepare for the construction of modern special forces in the true sense of the republic, and absorbing the advanced experience of the West in the construction of special forces is a shortcut for us to take as few detours as possible in the process of building special forces. The active equipment of the Western special forces has become the focus of everyone's attention.
For Minister Xie, who is committed to the construction of special forces equipment, the "Desert Beetle" special assault vehicle that the US military shone in the Gulf War deeply attracted his attention, but the fact that this special assault vehicle was developed on the basis of the Beetle, a civilian vehicle, greatly surprised Director Xie's expectations.
Realizing this, Director Xie was immediately excited: We can't get the detailed information of the US special assault vehicle, but on the other hand, the information of the Beetle car is not so difficult.
