Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

Chapter 240 Taihang Type 1 All-Terrain Assault Vehicle

Yan'an, Ansai District, Dongwangzhuang.

"Minister, please look, this is the jeep produced according to your drawings."

The automobile factory, the factory director Jiang Zeming, pointed at the jeep parked in the factory yard and introduced it.

"Ah, very good."

Zhao Tianyang nodded with satisfaction.

Regarding the automobile factory, since its establishment, Zhao Tianyang rarely came here for various reasons after leaving a few drawings.

Fortunately, the leader sent him a reliable factory manager.

Jiang Zeming joined the anti-Japanese army at the age of eighteen and was sent to the Soviet Union for further studies at the age of twenty-three, where he learned how to use tanks and drive.

After returning, he joined the First Battalion of the Puppet Guard Brigade in Hunchun Grand Canyon and successfully instigated the rebellion of the company he joined. Later, he joined forces with the Anti-Japanese United Army to eliminate this Puppet Guard Brigade.

Finally, he was transferred to Yan'an due to his merits and was responsible for the security of the leaders. Later, he became the first tank soldier of the Eighth Route Army and led the tank regiment to participate in the Battle of Changchun.

So after knowing that this man was going to be the director of the automobile factory, Zhao Tianyang completely gave up and never came to the automobile factory again.

If Ze Ming hadn't informed him that the jeep had been built, he would still be busy with the tank!

“Have you tested it?”

Zhao Tianyang climbed onto the jeep, turned the key, and stepped on the accelerator.

“Just did a simple speed test.”

Let Zeming sit in the co-pilot seat: "I'm thinking of doing other tests while you're here!"

"That's okay!"

Zhao Tianyang nodded, shifted gears, stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep rushed out like an arrow.

“The power system and connection system are very smooth, not bad, not bad!”

Zhao Tianyang felt the speed and passion and nodded repeatedly.

"Minister, please slow down. This thing has no shock absorption!"

He grabbed Zeming and gave a painful reminder.

"Oh, sorry, I was so excited!"

Zhao Tianyang lightly stepped on the brakes to slow down the pace, and soon the two arrived at the training ground of the automobile factory.

"Let the workers prepare it."

Zhao Tianyang jumped out of the jeep, handed the key to Jiang Zeming, took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his arms, took out a cigarette and started smoking.

"it is good."

Jiang Zeming nodded, sat in the driver's seat, and drove the jeep to the testing point.

Wading test, climbing test, load capacity, turning test, passing test, and endurance test.

"Minister, this is the test data."

In the afternoon, Zhao Tianyang successfully obtained the detailed data of the jeep from Jiang Zeming.

"jeep:?"

"Length: 5 meters."

"Width: 2 meters."

"Height: 1.8 meters."

"Empty weight: 1.8 tons."

"Combat weight: 2.35 tons (Note: This is only the weight that can be carried, the actual load is 6 tons.)"

"Engine: Taihang inline six-cylinder, water-cooled diesel engine, 260 horsepower."

"Maximum speed: 70 kilometers per hour."

"Maximum range: 600 kilometers."

"Maximum climbing angle: 60 degrees."

"Maximum wading environment: one meter."

“Ground clearance: 220 mm.”

"Not bad, let's produce it according to this model first!"

Zhao Tianyang touched his chin, not very satisfied.

The jeep in front of you is actually produced based on the later 4X4 Bobcat all-terrain assault vehicle, but due to technical problems.

He took the original 100-horsepower, inline-four, turbocharged, water-cooled diesel.

It has been replaced with the current Taihang inline six-cylinder engine.

Therefore, the size and horsepower are much larger. Although the speed and range have become much stronger, the overall size is also larger.

"From the minister's expression, isn't he very satisfied?"

Jiang Zeming on the side was a little confused.

To be honest, the jeep in front of him was the best jeep he had ever seen. Apart from the shock absorption, he really couldn't think of any shortcomings of it.

"Too big, too much power."

Zhao Tianyang thought for a moment and said, "But it's not a big problem. It's only for the commanders on the front line. You can just produce it this way first!"

"All right!"

Jiang Zeming nodded, he was still very confused. Compared with foreign jeeps, the size of this car was already small enough!

And isn’t it a good thing that it has great power?

"Okay, let's stop here for today!"

Zhao Tianyang got on the jeep directly: "This car can be finalized. It will be called Taihang Type 1 All-terrain Assault Vehicle."

After saying that, he took the key from Jiang Zeming's hand and said, "I'll drive this car away."

"By the way, don't forget to produce the sedan. This car has no shock absorbers, so I dare not let the leaders drive it."

"Don't worry, Minister."

Jiang Zeming patted his chest and said, "I have already started studying the car and truck drawings you gave me."

"Row."

Zhao Tianyang signaled Li Yuncai and the bodyguards to get in the car. The four of them drove the Taihang Type 4 all-terrain assault vehicle and drove out of the car factory.

.............

Ansai District, Engine Factory.

"Why are you here, Minister?"

Yu Xiaping looked at the sky and asked in confusion.

"I just went to the car factory to take a look. I'll rest here with you tonight."

Zhao Tianyang handed the car keys to Li Yuncai and asked him to find a place to park.

“Is this the Jeep we were studying?”

At this time, Yu Xiaping also noticed the beautiful car in front of him and asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Li Yuncai shook the car key: "How about it? Do you want to try it?"

"Okay!"

Yu Xiaping took the car keys without saying a word and climbed into the driver's seat.

In the engine factory, in the cafeteria, Zhao Tianyang was happily drinking corn paste and eating pickles when Yu Xiaping walked in, rubbing his butt.

"Minister, why doesn't your car have shock absorbers?"

"Hey, it's actually shock-absorbing."

Zhao Tianyang smiled evilly and said, "However, for the overall compactness of the vehicle, the shock absorption system takes care of all parts of the vehicle body."

"It may not be very friendly to the driver and passengers."

"I see!"

Yu Xiaping nodded in sudden realization, and then said excitedly: "But this car runs really fast. I drove it to the car factory without noticing."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"

Zhao Tianyang put down the bowl and wiped his mouth: "What's the progress of the engine I asked you to work on?"

“There is a finished product, but there are still some problems that have not been solved.”

Yu Xiaping brought Zhao Tianyang to the laboratory of the engine factory.

Although it was already eight o'clock in the evening, the place was still brightly lit. More than a dozen young people were working around an engine with tools.

"Some of these people are college students, and some are patriots who have studied abroad."

"It is with their help that I can turn your drawings into real objects within two or three months."

Yu Xiaping pointed at the hard-working technicians and introduced them.

"Ah."

Zhao Tianyang nodded: "These technicians have to use their brains as well as their hands, so you have to provide them with better food."

"Don't worry, Minister. They all meet the highest standards and are better than what a factory director like me eats."

Yu Xiaping took Zhao Tianyang closer and pointed at the engine.

"Currently, this 12-cylinder, 69-degree V-shaped, 4-stroke forced water-cooled direct-injection liter diesel engine has been successfully started."

"That's the air start and electric start that you want to arrange. We are still studying it."

After saying that, Yu Xiaping suddenly remembered something and added, "By the way, we are still studying the winter heating system, and we only have some clues at the moment."

"excuse me!"

Just as Zhao Tianyang was about to say something, a young man holding the gearbox casing walked straight through the two of them, came straight to the engine and started operating it.

Well, so far, these focused young people haven’t noticed the arrival of the factory director and Zhao Tianyang.

"never mind."

Zhao Tianyang smiled and said, "Let's go out and talk!"

"Row."

After coming outside, Zhao Tianyang took out a blueprint from his arms: "This is the blueprint of the 6-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine I designed. You can try it out."

"it is good."

Yu Xiaping didn't say anything. He took the drawing and started looking at it.

Seeing this, Zhao Tianyang did not disturb them. He turned around and prepared to go back to rest. He still had to inspect the radio station factory tomorrow!
