As an executive car, Wanfeng believes that the first model is more stable, not seeking advancedness but seeking stability and safety.

This car has very high requirements on safety.

Of course, there are special requirements for safety when driving government workers.

Therefore, the Great Wall car adopts a non-load-bearing body.

You read that right, at a time when current cars are developing towards load-bearing type, this Great Wall uses a non-load-bearing body.

Nowadays, except for off-road vehicles and SUVs, there are not many vehicles using non-load-bearing bodies.

The popular explanation of the load-bearing body is that it has a chassis frame like a truck.

Today's popular load-bearing cars do not have body frames.

The core components of the non-load-bearing city, such as the engine and transmission, will be placed on the vehicle girder, which is the basis for supporting the entire vehicle.

The advantage is that it can reduce the bumpiness of the vehicle because the chassis strength is higher. At the same time, when the vehicle collides, the frame can absorb the impact force, making it safer.

Some people say that the load-bearing body has good flexibility and is safer than a car with a non-load-bearing body.

This is all nonsense, just talking nonsense with your eyes open.

It’s hard to say whether this view will be realized in the future, at least for now it’s nonsense.

Within the limit, if your car hits a wall, the body does have a telescopic function, so there's nothing wrong with it. But if you hit a wall at high speed, if the collision force is greater than the telescopic limit of the car body, you will only end up turning into a discus or a wreckage.

.

Because of the existence of frame beams, the non-load-bearing body will greatly absorb and mitigate the impact force caused by the collision, and the safety factor will naturally be greatly improved.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. The non-load-bearing body has an extra beam, which increases the overall weight of the car body, and the corresponding fuel consumption will also increase. At the same time, because of the presence of the beam, the center of gravity of the car will also increase accordingly, making it difficult to carry out operations.

Sharp turn.

However, these things have been subversively transformed in Nanwan microcars and have been weakened to the greatest extent.

First of all, Nanwan Group has the best steel in China, which can be used to build warships.

The frame beams made of this kind of steel are more than one-third lighter in weight than the beams made of ordinary fine steel with the same strength.

In this way, compared with the load-bearing body, the extra weight is not much.

Because they are building an executive car, a higher center of gravity is not a problem. The most important thing when pulling officials in the car is safety first.

You, a driver, drive your car like the wind? That’s because you don’t want to do it anymore.

As for emergency turns, there is no such thing.

This car not only adopts a non-load-bearing body, but the anti-collision beams on both sides of the body are also newly designed and made of special steel.

It wouldn't matter if this car got excellent in five or six crash categories in a crash test.

After the prototype rolled off the production line, Wan Feng also specially measured the height of the car. It was indeed five centimeters taller than an ordinary car, but because its body was longer than an ordinary car, it was not easy to spot at a glance.

This prototype car did not leave the workshop. It went directly to the test bed after coming off the line. It will be tested on the test bed for no less than 500 hours to test all aspects of its performance.

Wan Feng watched with his own eyes as the prototype vehicle was put on the KC test bench for the entire vehicle, and the test workers connected it to a mess of various lines.

After the KC test is completed, the drum and complete vehicle tests will be carried out.

After these projects pass the test, it’s time for field trials.

After the test started, Wan Feng looked at it for a while and then changed his attention.

There are other components being tested in the test shop.

It was a new engine, making a soft sound on an engine test bed.

"This is our newly developed 482 engine, prepared for future 2.0-displacement cars. If a new turbocharger is used, the displacement can reach 2.2."

The person who explained to Wan Feng was Nanwan’s chief gasoline engine engineer Zang Junguan, a well-known Tibetan military officer in Nanwan.

"This engine has been tested on the test bench for how long. It has been running for 1,500 hours now. When it reaches 2,000 hours, it will be installed in a vehicle for testing. Originally it was going to be installed in an SUV, but now I am afraid it will have to be installed in the Great Wall first.

It’s time to test.”

There is an engine on another test bed that is obviously longer than this 482 engine, but it was not tested and just stayed quietly on the test bed.

"Which engine is it?"

"That one is also a new product, with an inline six-cylinder. It has been tested on the test bench for dozens of hours. There are some problems and we are going to check it out."

It is normal for a new engine to have problems, but it would be abnormal if there were no problems.

"In the next few days, a V6 engine will also be tested on the test bench."

Wan Feng is aware of these projects. He personally approved the research funds. There are many engine projects this year. There are seven or eight diesel and gasoline models in total, and the research funds alone are more than 500 million.

More than 500 million in 1999 is definitely not small money.

His investment in engine research is enough for anyone to enter the rich list.

Wan Feng came out of the workshop and suddenly remembered whether to buy firecrackers or not. He quickly picked up the phone and called Zhou Liming.

"I said Liming, have you pulled back the firecrackers that were set off at night?"

"Brother-in-law! What do you mean by this? I have been doing this kind of thing for many years. Can I forget it?"

Sample! Since he officially became a brother-in-law, his tone has become more and more casual.

"Did you buy it at You Shui's store?"

"How dare I go to someone else's house to buy it after you told me."

"How much did you buy?"

"Fifty thousand yuan!"

"Yeah! It's okay."

Wan Feng hung up the phone after humming, and checked the time.

It's three o'clock.

Let’s go home first. We will come over to set off fireworks in the evening. As for watching those singers’ concerts, Wan Feng doesn’t plan to go. There’s not much to see.

Luan Feng and Zhang Xuan can just take their parents and children to have a look.

Wan Feng told the people in the workshop that they should go back early today on National Day as they have plenty of time to work.

Then drove home.

Every household in Wankou has national flags, large and small, on their doors, and the entire Wankou Long Street is ablaze with red.

There is also a two-foot-square national flag hanging above the store door of Holly Communications, fluttering in the wind.

It has been twenty days since these two opened their business, and Wan Feng has not been here once except for their opening.

He didn't plan to go over and ask today. The grievances between the two parties have been settled, and there won't be many chances of intersection in the future. Let them live their lives quietly.

Wan Feng turned west on Wankou Street, then turned at the Shanwan intersection to go home.

When the car reached the turnoff to his home, Wan Feng saw several cars parked in front of You Shui's store. He also unexpectedly saw Wang Chunjiang.
Chapter completed!
