Chapter 106 High Power Diesel Engine
"This car uses four-wheel independent suspension. I think it can use the more common and quite strong double wishbone suspension."

"As I just said, although the integral bridge suspension has better extreme off-road capabilities, the vehicle's stability is not very good when driving at high speeds, while the independent suspension can ensure the stability of the vehicle at high speeds."

"Of course, using independent suspension will reduce the overall strength of the frame, so we need to make some special layout in this regard."

Jiang Hui simply picked up a pen and paper from the side and started drawing quickly.

"Its chassis can use a traditional ladder beam, but of course, it needs to be designed to be thicker."

"In addition to the two thick longitudinal beams, five cross beams are set here, which is also the main means for non-load-bearing vehicles to improve the overall strength of the frame."

Jiang Hui explained his ideas while painting.

Although some of these things are not innovative technologies, it is just right to use them.

This is actually very important.

If a car uses a lot of new technologies, it will definitely encounter many problems during the production process, and the quality stability will also be worrying.

On the contrary, it would be best if you could combine more traditional technologies to achieve new performance effects.

The "Hummer" that Jiang Hui has now developed has this advantage to a certain extent.

"Its four-wheel drive system, what do you think?"

Regarding Jiang Hui's suggestion about independent suspension, Zhu Jiansheng chose to reserve his opinion and figure out the overall plan first.

"It must be a mechanical four-wheel drive system. This four-wheel drive system is essentially a three-lock structure. Its transfer case has a locking function, which is equivalent to a differential lock. At the same time, the differentials of the front and rear axles are designed to be lockable Torsen differentials. As long as one tire has adhesion, the vehicle can continue to move forward."

"Because its transmission and transfer case are located in the center of the car body, a very large bulge will be formed between the four seats. When the four members are riding, they are basically located in the four corners of the cabin, and the distance between the seats is very far."

"As a civilian car, this design is a huge flaw."

"But for military vehicles, this bulge is particularly convenient for mounting weapons on the roof."

"The soldiers operating the weapons can stand on this bulge and shoot freely. The weapons on the top are not just simple machine guns. They can even be equipped with grenade launchers and heavy machine guns. These are much more powerful than the previous BJ212."

With Jiang Hui's continuous explanation and a partial structural sketch, the image of a mighty and ferocious military off-road vehicle began to appear in Zhu Jiansheng's mind.

Seeing the father-in-law and son-in-law discussing the military vehicle enthusiastically, Zhu Lin and Fang Zhen could only whisper to the side, not daring to disturb their thoughts.

"According to your current thinking, we need a high-power diesel engine to meet the needs of this vehicle."

Zhu Jiansheng quickly thought about the production feasibility of this new military off-road vehicle.

If I want to propose a project to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, I must be sure that I can design and produce it.

Otherwise, it’s better not to mention it.

"Didn't the Department of Thermal Energy and Power Engineering previously research a 6.5L diesel engine for use in a certain type of armored vehicle?"

"We can make some technical improvements on this basis to make it match the needs of this car."

“At the same time, we can also cooperate with other domestic diesel engine manufacturers.”

Although the plan was proposed by the Capital Institute of Technology, it is impossible for the institute to produce all the parts on its own.

Even if the college has its own school-run factory, it can only handle part of the parts production. Most of the time, it still needs to find professional supporting factories.

Of course, if the Capital Institute of Technology's Vehicle Engineering Department can take advantage of this opportunity to build itself into a research and development institution and output design plans to various factories, the significance behind it will be extraordinary. "I will sort out the plan and communicate with the deans of other majors tomorrow to see how to get the project started as soon as possible."

The two talked until after eleven o'clock in the evening, and Zhu Jiansheng basically understood Jiang Hui's thoughts.

All that remains is to turn these ideas into a specific plan and then submit it to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building to apply for funding.

"Our neighbors to the south are very restless. I feel like there will be some military action in the next six months."

"Dad, it is necessary to publicize our vision for the new generation of military off-road vehicles before this operation."

"After everyone suffers losses in the future, they will be able to appreciate the benefits of these designs even more."

Compared with BJ212, Hummer's performance in all aspects is absolutely superior.

Even if it is not possible to produce it immediately now, there will still be plenty of practical opportunities after it is produced in a few years.

The key is that this product will definitely have the opportunity to be exported and earn foreign exchange in the future, becoming a flagship product of China's automobile industry.

It is even possible to take this opportunity to transfer a certain automobile factory to the Capital Institute of Technology.

"Speaking of which, isn't the new generation BJ212 project required to be brought forward?"

"When our new project is launched, will it have any impact on the development of the new generation BJ212?"

Zhu Jiansheng didn't want to bring any negative impact on Jiang Hui's development in the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant because of his own reasons.

He would feel guilty about that.

"Everyone's positioning is completely different, so there is not much impact."

"By the way, I have thought of a more appropriate name for this new generation military off-road vehicle. How about you use it to apply for the project?"

Jiang Hui still has a special affection for the name "Hummer".

Even compared to the "Warrior", he thinks the "Hummer" is more vivid.

"What name would you like to use?"

Zhu Jiansheng will definitely meet this small request.

Actually, according to his idea, what name should he have?
Just like BJ212, just give it a code.

"Hummer! It means a fierce wild horse."

"We designed an all-terrain wheeled off-road vehicle with high maneuverability, strong speed and good trafficability."

“The word Hummer, I think it’s very appropriate.”

Zhu Jiansheng originally thought that Jiang Hui wanted to give the name a special meaning, but he didn't expect that it would eventually be "Hummer".

However, he also thinks that the Hummer is really good.

"Okay, I'll try to submit the Hummer project report next week and start the formal vehicle design work as soon as possible!"

Zhu Jiansheng was unusually straightforward and made the decision right away.
