Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 398 Conception and Project Approval of Specific Models

According to Jiang Chen's plan, they will develop and produce three models and five models this time.That's right, that's all.Although this is a bit of a big step, after careful discussions and calculations with everyone, Jiang Chen and everyone felt that this plan was still feasible.Research and development is not the same as production. It can be pre-researched and then produced when it is capable.Besides, these aspects of Jiang Chen are based on market demand, so there is not a big problem in the market.

This first car is a sedan, which is a brand new sedan model as mentioned above.Jiang Chen expressed great hopes for this model, and wanted to build it into a dedicated business model.Just like the A6 of later generations.Of course, Jiang Chen will also make an improvement in this area.For example, this bulletproof version can be added.Jiang Chen also wanted to use his advantage in the military industry to develop a commercial sedan that was unique among similar models in the world.Of course, the existing resources can't just be wasted like this. We all know that the most important thing about a car is its chassis and power system.Other parts can be added, subtracted and replaced as needed, which is an important measure to reduce R&D and production costs.This is also common in the models produced by other car manufacturers in the world, so of course Jiang Chen and the others cannot miss it.

Because the technology of this car should be relatively mature, Jiang Chen discussed with the relevant leaders and decided to hand over the design and development of this new car to some young engineers and designers.To train them, let them grow up as soon as possible.In this field, the faults in our country are very serious. Good engineers and designers are basically old, and the younger generation has just rushed out of school.If you don't grow up quickly, once the old generation gradually passes away.Well, not only Jiang Chen, but also this country will face the situation that there are no talents available in this industry.In the era of Jiang Chen in the previous life, this was indeed the case. Our country was quite lacking in political talents, so that many technologies and designs had to rely on the support of foreign technology and designers.Either it is copycat and plagiarism, which is especially common in auto shows over the years.

The second model is this off-road vehicle, which is also one of Jiang Chen's main areas of attack.He is not only interested in the huge share of the civilian off-road vehicle market, but also on the huge orders for military off-road vehicles.If there is any intersection and complementarity between Western Company and B17 Factory, then this is definitely a very good project.Given the two engines now, no, there should be three, and the one used in the previous Flag sedan.It's just that the horsepower of that engine is relatively low, and it is not suitable for off-road vehicles, so it is excluded.In view of these two engines, Jiang Chen decided to develop and produce two off-road vehicles.To be precise, it is one model, two models. Jiang Chen decided to allocate the 150 horsepower gasoline engine to the civilian model of this off-road vehicle, while the 200 horsepower diesel engine was allocated to the military model of this off-road vehicle.

As you know, there is a difference between this military off-road vehicle and civilian off-road vehicle.Military off-road vehicles pay more attention to the passability, that is, off-road performance and mobility, as well as its low-failure behavior, easy maintenance, and easy operation.Of course, there is still a certain amount of protection.As for civilian models, although they also pay attention to the above performances, in general, they are not as strict as the requirements of military off-road vehicles.And there is another point, this is relatively weak in military off-road vehicles, that is, the comfort. Civilian off-road vehicles can be said to be more meticulous in terms of human-machine experience interaction, and try to consider the driving and riding personnel.However, military off-road vehicles don't think much about this. In order to consider cost or reduce unnecessary weight, military vehicles can be said to be able to pass the interior, even to a bad point.Jiang Chen remembered that in a certain military forum in later generations.A certain military fan likes the military, so he bought a military off-road vehicle with great effort, but after driving it twice, he put it in the garage of his home to collect dust.Including the powerful old beauty, which once represented the symbol of the army, Hummer, its comfort is also very unsatisfactory, which shows that this is already a global phenomenon.

Finally, let’s talk about the last model. Unlike the previous ones, this model has only one model, and it is specially equipped with this [-]-horsepower diesel engine.Yes, some people have already guessed it.It is a truck, or a loading vehicle, a freight vehicle.The country of this matter is in a stage of rapid development, and the demand for this freight vehicle is also increasing day by day.The vehicles mentioned above can be said to be produced for urban people and for the rich.And this freight car is a car specially developed and produced by Jiang Chen for farmers in such a situation.Although the peasants in this period were still relatively poor, don't underestimate the peasants because they can also perform miracles in certain fields.And it was not cars and off-road vehicles or other high-end vehicles that brought prosperity to our country's auto market in the first place, but freight vehicles.Relying on the support of farmers, these freight vehicles have ranked first in sales for many years.Jiang Chen also saw this, and added to the development plan of this project.

In fact, Jiang Chen has a deeper idea for this freight vehicle, which is military use.The vehicles required by many motorized transport platforms today are improved from this freight vehicle.With the continuous development and progress of the weapons and equipment at the B17 factory, it seems that there is an increasing need for a mobile platform that can be mounted on these weapons.As a western industrial company with blood ties, how could it be snatched away by other production companies.For example, the new anti-aircraft missile being developed by the rocket power laboratory in the research and development center over there urgently needs a supporting mobile transport platform.Seeing this, have you seen the game of chess played by Jiang Chen clearly?

Of course, although two new engines have been developed, the urgency of Jiang Chen and our country's demand for new high-power automobile engines remains unchanged.Jiang Chen will not relax in this regard either.After perfecting these two engines, the Internal Combustion Engine Power Laboratory will continue to develop new high-power engines.For example, Wang Gong proposed to Jiang Chen the new 300-horsepower gasoline and diesel series engines.The old man is very urgent, and Jiang Chen can understand that the old man wants to use the few remaining lives to vigorously develop and develop our own engine with independent intellectual property rights.We're so far behind in this area that we're going to have to work hard to catch up.
