Chapter 105: Mr. Hu steals the car
"Good boy! Not only did you take the credit, you also wanted to steal the car?!"
Mr. Hu walked over with a snort, pointing at Fang Xiang's nose.
Following behind him were Lao Liu and Li Changjiang.
There were also several soldiers getting off other vehicles, each carrying an 81-bar rifle that Fang Xiang was very familiar with.
"Oh! Mr. Hu, what are you doing?"
Fang wanted to quickly turn off the engine and get out of the car.
"Don't bother with me, where are you driving the car?
Move aside, move aside, let me take a look."
Mr. Hu snorted, and immediately fixed his eyes on the jeep that had just rolled off the production line, unable to move away.
Then he circled around the jeep, taking a close look at the car.
Naturally, watching the show with Mr. Hu would also include Mr. Liu.
"Okay, if Mr. Hu hadn't come earlier today.
The car was abducted by you guys."
Li Changjiang lit a cigarette, stood next to Fang Xiang, and made a joke.
"Look at what you said. Professor Xu is leading the team today."
Fang Xiang didn't want to take the blame, even though he could see it.
Mr. Hu looked angry, but he didn't seem to care particularly.
It seems that it was prepared in advance.
Thinking back to my previous conversation with Professor Xu, I think Mr. Hu knows about it.
"The gun?"
Fang Xiang glanced at the 81 bars carried by the soldiers behind him.
"It has been tested. This is the first batch of official production. There are only a small number of equipment."
Li Changjiang explained and then took the 81-bar from a soldier.
He removed the magazine, pulled the bolt, and checked to make sure there were no bullets.
Only then was it handed over to Fang Xiang.
The members of the research team who came with Fang Xiang were all staring in amazement.
At first, they saw the menacing convoy of military vehicles coming from the opposite side.
I was shocked at the first moment.
Then Mr. Hu came towards them with soldiers carrying guns.
That little heart was already beating at 200% speed.
Especially Cao Tianwei, he has the least experience and knows few people.
I thought Professor Xu had been caught asking them to drive the car away.
A bunch of people were panicking.
But when Fang wanted to say hello to Mr. Hu, those who were quick to react already knew that nothing was wrong.
Only Cao Tianwei was so frightened that his hands and feet were shaking.
Until Fang Xiang took the gun handed to him by Li Changjiang.
Basically no one is afraid anymore.
This must be someone very familiar.
Otherwise, who would dare to give a gun to a stranger or someone they don't trust?
After Fang Xiang took the gun, he played with it in his hand for a while.
"Has this car been tested? What do you mean?"
After walking around twice, Mr. Hu came over. He didn’t mind Fang wanting to play with the 81 bar.
After all, this gun was designed by Fang Xiang.
It’s reasonable for designers to play with the products they designed, right?
“In that early morning, we discovered a lot of problems.
Isn't this also for deeper testing to continue to find problems?
That's why the professor asked us to drive the car back.
Didn't you two communicate well? "
Fang Xiang saw Mr. Hu coming, so he returned the gun to Li Changjiang.
A few words of explanation.
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Is there a problem?"
Mr. Hu's eyes widened, obviously not believing it.
"Mr. Hu, you don't trust me?"
Fang wanted to laugh. They were just reasons and excuses anyway.
believe it or not!
But he still took out the small notebook from his pocket.
He opened the page recorded in the morning and handed it to Mr. Hu.
“The clutch was jerky and poorly matched.
There is a sense of frustration when shifting gears.
The steering wheel has no power assistance.
The suspension is too stiff and needs further adjustment.
There is not enough room in the back and the seats are too hard.
The visibility and viewing angle inside the car are poor.
Pull force, acceleration, load capacity, endurance, fuel consumption?
You wrote quite a lot, didn’t you? "
After Mr. Hu read it out loud, his expression relaxed.
Returned the notebook to Fang Xiang.
“But I think the problem you wrote is not a big problem.
Most of the previous cars also had the same problem, so it doesn’t affect their use.”
Mr. Hu lit a cigarette and looked like he was still angry.
“These are the problems we discovered this morning.
If we test it for a few more months, we will find more problems.
This car is to be issued to the troops.
In the future, we may produce tens or even millions of units.
Therefore, problems should be discovered and solved early.
As a researcher, this is what we should do.”
Fang Xiang spoke without hesitation, as he had met Mr. Hu so many times.
I also found that Mr. Hu is a very easy-going person.
So I wasn’t nervous and just said whatever came to my mind.
"Besides, I have an idea."
Fang Xiang's eyes rolled around and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
He looked around and then took two steps to the side.
Mr. Hu understood immediately, glanced at Li Changjiang, and followed Fang Xiang for a few steps.
Li Changjiang immediately waved his hand and dispersed with the people around him.
“I think this car has a lot of potential.
I think in the future, the troops’ demand for vehicles will increase.
I think we can make some modification plans.
For example, it can be used to pull light artillery or anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft machine guns.
Or cover it with a layer of iron and act as an armored vehicle or something.
Or, stretch it a little further and use it as a means of rapid transportation for a motorized team.
Also, besides the field troops, do other brother units also need it?
For example, the armed police, garrisons, firefighters, and local areas will probably have a huge demand.
I think maybe some targeted changes can be made.”
Fang Xiang muttered to himself after everyone had left.
Mr. Hu and Mr. Liu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
“I knew you were reliable.
Okay, you can take these two cars and I won’t say anything.
But I know there are still four in the factory, and you are not allowed to steal them anymore."
Mr. Hu took the last puff of his cigarette and nodded.
"Mr. Hu, you are making things difficult for me.
You should talk to the professor about this matter. I can’t be the head of this family.”
Fang felt relieved when he saw that the work had been done.
As for the others, Professor Xu said they would be delivered by the Beijing Automotive Manufacturing Plant.
I guess I had no intention of leaving it for Mr. Hu from the beginning.
But the king can fight against the king, and the pawn can fight against the pawn.
We think there is no point in competing with a king for a small pawn.
Let them go to the front line.
"Boy, when did you become so slippery?
I won't bother with you, but if you come back, you have to come to my place again.
There will be something I need to see you soon."
Mr. Hu patted Fang Xiang on the shoulder, and the matter was over.
But at the last moment, another sentence came.
“Let’s talk about it later.
This mess will keep me busy for a long time."
Fang Xiang was instantly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"By the way, there's a prize waiting for you on May Day."
Just as both sides dispersed and prepared to drive away.
Mr. Hu stopped his car next to Fang Xiang and said something.
Watching the convoy enter the factory, Fang remembered the second-class merit he had mentioned before.
Is it possible?
"Who was that just now?"
Cao Tianwei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, wiped his cold sweat and asked.
"The one from the General Armament Department is the one who leads the project for this vehicle."
Fang wanted to start the engine and shift gears. After trying a few times, he was now very skilled at it.
Not long after, a convoy of two jeeps passed through the city.
We arrived at the gate of Shuimu University smoothly.
Guan Ningyuan greeted the security department at the gate and entered the campus.
Then he took the lead and drove the car directly into an almost deserted playground northwest of the school.
"This place will serve as our testing ground for the time being.
Open it when you want, play when you want, try it when you want, and dismantle it when you want.
Once this car arrived at our school, no one dared to think about it anymore."
After getting off the car, Guan Ningyuan gave Fang Xiang a brief explanation and left.
After hearing this, the members of Cao Tianwei's group instantly became excited.
Everyone wants to try out the car.
But none of them can drive.
Fang thought that since he had nothing else to do, he might as well teach them how to drive first.
Wait until dark.
Qin Juncai appeared on the playground.
"Come on, the professor wants to see you."
