Chapter 93 BJ212
"I've never come into contact with heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns before.
You are making things difficult for me. Besides, there are so many experts and professors in the country.
You can't always catch me working alone, can you?"
After thinking it through, Fang Xiang immediately shook his head and refused.
"Oh, you kid!
Are you going to become addicted to the benefits?
This is the country's trust in you.
Last time you said you didn’t know anything about rifles, but here you design one.
And it won praise from everyone.
We also trust you with this heavy machine gun and anti-aircraft machine gun.
Xiao Li, go get the blueprints in our confidential archives room and give them to Xiao Fang for reference."
Mr. Hu was immediately dissatisfied.
He pointed his finger at Fang Xiang and tapped him a few times.
"Yes, the country trusts you, the party and the people trust you.
We trust you more.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to do it, just give it a try.”
Wow, even Professor Xu has started to chime in.
Just when Lao Liu was about to speak to persuade him.
"stop!
It’s not that I don’t want to do it, it’s that I really don’t understand.
As for the rifle, I admit that I was a bit modest at the time.
But this time it’s heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
I really, really don't understand at all.
Could you please stop making things difficult for me, please?
If that doesn't work, we can talk about this new domestically produced jeep.
I understand this. "
Fang Xiang saw that he was about to become the target of public criticism.
He quickly stood up and refused sternly.
"Oh? You know this Jeep?"
Old Liu immediately became interested.
"I see, how about I tell you what I think?
If what I said is wrong, can you please criticize it?"
Fang Xiang nodded and finally changed the subject.
"Come on, come on, tell me."
When they heard Fang Xiang talking about this, Mr. Hu and Professor Xu also became interested.
“I observed this car and found that the engine noise was quite loud, which indicated that the technology was backward.
At the same time, the speed is higher at the same speed, so it goes without saying that the fuel consumption must be high.
This shows that the technology is also very backward.
Then there's the suspension used on this car, which is probably a leaf spring suspension, which is way too stiff.
Moreover, this suspension can easily cause sudden turns and skidding. I have experienced this twice on the way here.
Also, this car has no rearview mirror and the rear space is small, making it extremely inconvenient to use and get in and out.
The front windshield and door glass are also small, which makes it easy to get carsick.
Finally, the auxiliary fuel tank in the car is prone to leaks, and there is an ashtray in the front seat.
When the two are combined, the probability of danger is extremely high.”
Fang Xiang counted on his fingers and listed them one by one.
After he finished speaking, Professor Xu, Mr. Hu and Mr. Liu all fell into deep thought.
“I have a suggestion.
Xiao Fang, you’d better not go for Shuimu.
Lao Liu is the head of the Ordnance Research Bureau.
As for you, why don't you just report to him directly.
I'll make the decision and arrange for you to be treated like an engineer.
How about I arrange another apartment for you?"
After a few people exchanged glances, Mr. Hu spoke.
The direct answer was to tell Fang Xiang not to go to school anymore.
Strangely, Professor Xu did not refute.
Instead, he nodded to show his agreement.
"Mr. Hu, it's really unkind of you to say that.
I didn't do anything wrong, why are you punishing me?
I'm doing well in Shuimu and am still waiting to get my diploma.
You don't take my future seriously?!"
Fang Xiang was immediately dissatisfied and protested.
"Oh! Others may not know, but how can I not know?
When you are in school, you say you are studying, but in fact you are just passing the classes.
Instead of wasting time like this, we should invest it in national construction.”
Unexpectedly, Professor Xu was the first to step forward and sell out Fang Xiang.
"professor!
I can’t do that. I still have a lot to learn.
Besides, pistols, rifles, and car engines are relatively simple.
I also need to learn about the engines of airplanes, rockets and missiles.
I can’t let myself be bothered by these things, can I?”
Fang Xiang was almost going crazy.
If I were to be held back by these things now.
How can I make more advanced engines in the future?
"Wow! You are so arrogant!
Also engines for aircraft, rockets and missiles.
That thing is much more difficult than a car engine."
Old Hu's eyes widened, thinking that Fang Xiang was unwilling to do the job and was looking for excuses.
"Mr. Hu, please give me the blueprint of Eruption 1.
I've already digested it.
Wait until I study for another two years, and then I will get the drawings of the turbojet 6.
I can understand it too.
Let's make a bet?!"
Fang wanted to quit immediately and suspected something else was possible.
Isn't it an international joke to doubt your own professionalism?
"Oh? So confident?
What if I give you the information about this jeep?
You can be like the Dongfanghong tractor and the Hongqi car.
To make better improvements?
Mr. Hu suddenly smiled like an old fox.
Fang Xiang suddenly realized that he had been fooled again.
Although I was not forced to deal with heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
But now it’s almost the same as driving a jeep.
But one should be grateful for what one has received.
Not only did he take the bonus given by others, he also ate the meat given by others.
You deserve it now!
"How would you like to change it?"
Fang felt helpless. Considering his previous life and this life, he was only about thirty years old.
Compared with these old foxes who have lived for most of their lives, they are not at the same level at all.
You can only bow your head obediently.
"Go, get the simplified blueprint for 212."
Mr. Hu glanced at Li Changjiang and gave instructions.
After a while, the simple drawing of 212 was placed in front of Fang Xiang.
After flipping through the drawings, Fang Xiang nodded secretly.
It's just as I guessed.
This engine, code-named BJ492QA, is a replica of the Volga engine.
The displacement is 2445ml and the cylinder size is 92*92mm.
The compression ratio is 7.2, the power is 57.4kw, 75 horsepower, and the torque is 171Nm.
No matter how you look at it, he's the type who eats a lot and does little.
The following drawing is of the entire vehicle.
The body size is 3910mm*1760mm*1880mm, and the wheelbase is 2310mm.
It is not much different from the data measured by Fang Xiang.
It uses a 3-speed manual transmission with only reverse, low and high gears.
The car weighs 1395kg, can run at a maximum speed of over 120 kilometers per hour, and consumes 14 liters of fuel.
Front and rear integral bridge design, four-wheel drive.
The suspension is a non-independent structure, which is the simplest steel plate suspension.
“This car, now internally codenamed 212, is made by the Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant.
References were made to the Soviet GAZ-69, the American CJ5A, and our domestic Changjiang 46.
Just a few prototypes were made at the beginning of the year, and mass production has not yet officially started.
It has strong off-road capabilities and can handle complex terrains such as hills, depressions, and road-less trapezoidal wilderness.
You can cross normally.
Even a 45-degree steep slope can be rushed up with just one step on the accelerator.
The wading depth reached 1.2 meters.
Judging from the current test results, the troops are still very satisfied.
There is a huge demand for off-road jeeps in China now.
If nothing unexpected happens, as long as the General Staff approves it, production can begin at any time."
Just when Fang wanted to study the drawings, Lao Liu patiently explained them to him.
It can be seen that in Fang Xiang's eyes, this 212 is still extremely backward.
A car that he doesn't even want even for free.
But in today's country, it is an extremely popular commodity.
In the past, there were no conditions for mass production of jeeps in China.
Or it could be the GAZ-69 imported from the Soviet Union.
Or it could be a US jeep captured from the Korean battlefield.
In addition, with the current changes in the international situation, relations with the Soviet Union are getting worse day by day.
It was no longer possible to import GAZ jeeps, so the number of existing jeeps could not meet the needs of the troops.
It can only be produced domestically.
However, due to domestic conditions, we can only build such a car at present.
But no matter what, it is already very rare.
Moreover, this 212 was produced until the 80s, with a total output of more than 60 units.
This shows how difficult the domestic conditions have become.
“This car has huge potential, and there are many areas for improvement.
And it’s not difficult and can be changed now.
However, this car also has some major flaws.
In my opinion, it is barely usable, but still some distance away from being fully usable. "
PS: I put a picture at the end of the previous chapter.
Take a look, how much does it match the image of the heroine in your mind?
