Chapter 201: Demonstrating Divine Power, a Weapon on the Battlefield

Some time ago, the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant urgently produced a batch of Hummer prototypes and sent them to the south for testing.

After all, no matter how they are tested in the laboratory, some things are not as convincing as when they are actually used on the battlefield.

Although this batch of prototypes still has many problems that need to be further improved, they are already subversive compared to other military vehicles currently in use.

Especially when facing opponents without heavy weapons, the fast-moving Hummer, equipped with a heavy machine gun, is simply the best fire suppressor and support tool on the battlefield.

During the battle for the hilltop, this batch of prototype vehicles played a role beyond anyone's imagination.

The relevant report has been submitted.

Zhu Jiansheng, the project leader, rushed to the 618th Factory as soon as possible to discuss the next action plan with personnel from relevant departments.

"President Zhu, I just heard that the Hummer military vehicle you developed has been very powerful on the battlefield. It is simply a new generation of battlefield weapon."

"Now that the relevant battle reports have been submitted, Hummer has become famous in the system."

As a military representative assigned by relevant departments to Capital University of Technology, Huang Wenbin is obviously very happy that the Hummer military vehicle developed by the school has performed so well on the battlefield.

To a certain extent, this is also his credit.

Compared with Zhu Jiansheng and Jiang Hui, he actually heard some relevant information earlier.

It’s just that some information has not been finally confirmed, so he doesn’t dare to say anything casually.

Now that the formal reports have been submitted, the situation is naturally different.

"The main problem now is that the performance of the diesel engine has not been fully utilized, and the speed of battlefield movement is still not fast enough."

"If the design requirements can be met, the Humvee will be even more lethal on the battlefield."

A person in charge of the equipment department was also expressing his demands.

"The Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory will be able to produce an improved diesel engine prototype next month."

“Although we are not sure whether the design requirements can be fully met after the improvement, the performance will definitely be significantly improved compared with the previous prototype.”

Zhu Jiansheng was naturally very clear about the problems with the Hummer prototype.

Fortunately, these issues were clearly explained to the relevant departments when the sample car was delivered.

Otherwise, if the Hummer's mobility performance does not meet the requirements due to poor performance of the diesel engine, it would be troublesome if something unexpected happened on the battlefield.

Any problems that arise in the laboratory can be solved slowly.

But if something goes wrong on the battlefield, people may die.

"Then we will assemble another batch of prototypes next month and send them to the south for testing."

"Anyway, it's impossible for the south to completely calm down in a short period of time. The demand for Hummer military vehicles has always been great."

Zhu Jiansheng and Jiang Hui were not surprised by the request made by the equipment department.

The new product development process under special circumstances is definitely different from usual times.

Although this may not necessarily be the most ideal development process, it is definitely the one that best meets current actual needs.

Generally speaking, it is absolutely not a good idea to send an undeveloped product to the battlefield.

Who knows, the relevant personnel will be severely punished by then.

But the current situation is obviously special.

"No problem. The assembly line set up by our college at the 618th Factory is now fully capable of assembling prototypes."

"This time we can produce 30 prototypes at one time and provide them to relevant departments for use."

"If there are no major problems with this batch of prototypes, we can start preparing for large-scale production."

Seeing that the relevant departments were so actively promoting the use of Hummer military vehicles, Zhu Jiansheng knew in his heart that the Hummer product seemed to be really going to be a success.

If the front-line users did not find the Hummer military vehicle useful, the equipment department would not have placed large-scale orders for such prototypes.

There is definitely no room for such expenses in their budget.

But now they still squeeze out some money to order a sample car, which explains a lot of problems.

"This time, the war correspondents from the relevant departments went along to take some relevant photos. After the news release passes the review, it will most likely be officially published in the newspaper."

"By then, the news that Hummer military vehicles will begin to be used on the battlefield will surely be officially spread."

"Let me tell you this information first."

Although the Hummer military vehicle is not as sensitive as tanks and artillery, it is a military product after all, and it is also a new generation of high-performance military vehicle.

In this situation, the personnel in the equipment department felt it was necessary to remind the people from the No. 618 Factory and Capital University of Technology.

To avoid any leaks or other incidents.

But he probably didn't know that Zhu Jiansheng and Jiang Hui were already pushing for the Hummer military vehicle to become an export-earning product, and were even preparing to include it in the project of cooperation between China and the United States to aid Afghanistan.

Although confidentiality is very important, it also depends on the situation.

Of course, there is no need to communicate this information in today's meeting.

Everyone was more interested in discussing the subsequent batch of prototypes and future large-scale mass production.

……

"Chief Engineer Chen, this is roughly the situation." "The use scenarios of Hummer military vehicles on the battlefield are still very different from those of BJ212."

"More often than not, the Humvee is used as a combat vehicle in some battles."

"Our BJ212 is more of a tool for moving people."

Jiang Hui often goes to work on the Hummer project, and both Chen Qi and Zheng Haiming know about this.

However, even though he knew it, Jiang Hui would definitely explain the situation to Chen Qi every now and then, otherwise he would be too unkind.

Anyway, even if Jiang Hui doesn't tell him some information, Chen Qi will be able to find out sooner or later.

In this case, it is better to report to Chen Qi as soon as possible, which can also bring the two sides closer together.

"I didn't expect that the Hummer military vehicle would have a greater effect in the south this time than the Type 69 tank."

"It seems that fast movement performance is still very important in the new combat situation."

After listening to Jiang Hui's words, Chen Qi was also quite moved.

He had visited the clay model and prototype of the Hummer military vehicle before, and was very optimistic about this product.

But he didn't expect that the Hummer could be so powerful on the battlefield.

Of course, the reason for this is that this is the first time that the Hummer appeared and the other party has not yet reacted.

However, the excellent performance of the Hummer itself is also a key factor.

"That's true. As weapons become more and more advanced, speed will become more and more important."

"As the saying goes, the only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed."

Jiang Hui and Chen Qi are quite familiar with each other, so in this informal reporting situation, it is okay to make appropriate jokes.

"You are right. In the future, we will have to further consider how to improve the high-speed stability of our BJ212."

"Otherwise, there is no way to compete with sedans."

Chen Qi was naturally aware that the attitude of the Ministry of First Machine Industry towards the development of the passenger car industry was changing.

In the future, there will definitely be some domestic automobile manufacturers that will vigorously develop sedans.

Compared with off-road vehicles, sedans have a natural advantage in maneuverability.

Under the same circumstances, if an off-road vehicle wants to achieve the maneuverability of a car, greater changes need to be made to its parts and various structural designs.

"Although sedans have their own unique advantages, I think off-road vehicles will always have their own place in the future development, and even be on par with sedans."

"Of course, the ride comfort of our BJ212 is still far behind that of imported cars, and this definitely needs to be continuously improved."

"At the same time, I think we can also consider launching a load-bearing urban off-road vehicle in the future, which can further improve the ride comfort."

Jiang Hui is well aware that SUV models are very popular in later generations, and their market share in cities is no lower than that of sedans.

However, in the current global market, passenger cars are still dominated by sedans.

If Capital Automobile Manufacturing can continue to delve deeper into off-road vehicles, it is entirely possible for it to grow and develop like Great Wall Motors in the future.

After all, with the BJ212 as its foundation, Capital Automobile Manufacturing has its own unique advantages in developing new projects.

As long as the mindset changes and the factory's autonomy is enhanced, everything is possible.

Of course, it’s hard to say whether I was still in the factory at that time.

"Using a monocoque to produce an off-road vehicle? What kind of off-road vehicle is that?"

“Will anyone like this product?”

After listening to Jiang Hui's words, Chen Qi couldn't help but ask a question that many people have at this stage.

Before the birth of Honda's CRV, many people thought that off-road vehicles should use a non-load-bearing body.

In this way, the off-road performance can be fully guaranteed.

But for most consumers, their cars are always used on urban roads, and off-road performance is not very practical for them.

Just like the four-wheel drive system, normally this should be a standard feature of off-road vehicles.

However, most of the SUVs sold in the Chinese market or in the global market in later generations are not equipped with four-wheel drive systems.

What consumers want more is the styling of an off-road vehicle and a different field of vision from that of a sedan.

Of course, even if Jiang Hui told Chen Qi this information seriously, he might not be able to understand it.

So Jiang Hui just gave a brief explanation.

Since the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Company has no plans to launch upgraded models so quickly, there are still very few individual consumers in China at this stage.

Therefore, neither side dwelled deeply on this topic.

After Jiang Hui and Chen Qi reported on the various performances of the Hummer military vehicles on the battlefield, the related news in the military newspaper finally officially appeared in the public eye.

A picture of a Hummer military vehicle galloping on the battlefield was also published in the newspaper.

At this point, the Hummer military vehicle naturally came into the sight of those who were interested.
