Fortunately, Chen Ke had brought a can of gasoline with him, and when he heard that there was no gasoline, he immediately poured it into the gas tank.
Then the group moved several batteries from a nearby car and connected them to the truck.
The car kept starting and starting for a while, and finally, a spark appeared on the car battery, and then the whole car began to shake.
Finally, the car started.
"Yay! That's awesome! Now we can officially start the modifications!" Chen Ke waved his arms excitedly.
Lu Yuan looked around and said, "Let's drive the car back to the factory and do it here. It's too easy for people to notice us!"
Chen Gang didn't care; he could get it repaired anywhere. But he was even happier when he heard he was going to the factory.
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's do it at the factory. The factory is spacious, we won't be disturbed or bother the neighbors, and all the equipment is there, so we won't have to run back and forth!"
So the three of them packed up their toolbox and drove the car directly to the factory.
The previous owner of this car has been dead for a long time, so it's now considered ownerless. Whoever can take it can have it; as long as there's gas, you can drive it away, and nobody cares.
The car stopped in front of the factory, and Chen Gang briefly explained his idea for the modification.
Lu Yuan stroked his chin and thought for a while before saying, "I think we should add something else, like tire blowout protection. Those robbers like to put nails or something on the road. If you're not careful, you might run over them, and then the tire will blow out and you're done for!"
Chen Ke immediately nodded and said, "Yes, the tires must be puncture-proof! Although the truck's tires are thick enough, they still can't protect against those big iron nails. If you run over them, the tires will burst."
"Let me think! Nowadays, tires are all tubeless run-flat tires. Although their run-flat capability is generally average, they will still leak air if punctured by a lot of nails. But you can't put anything inside the tire, as that would affect the car's operation!"
As Chen Gang spoke, he circled the car, his brow furrowed for a long time.
Lu Yuan suddenly thought of a movie called Death Race, in which people installed a barrier in front of the wheels, which could directly clear obstacles in the road ahead, such as nails on the road.
So he told Chen Gang his idea, and Chen Gang's eyes lit up immediately.
"Oh dear! How could I not have thought of that! I was so focused on coming up with ideas for the tires that I completely forgot about this trick! Great! I know how to do it! I have a device that can clear obstacles in front of the tires without affecting normal driving!"
After searching the vicinity for a while, the other party finally came over pushing a bicycle.
"A bicycle? What's the use of that?" Chen Ke was a little confused as to why he was pushing a bicycle.
Chen Gang pointed to the mudguard on the bicycle and said, "This thing is called a mudguard. It's specifically designed to prevent mud kicked up by the tires from splashing onto your body while riding. What if we installed mudguards on our trucks too!"
As he spoke, the other person gestured with his hand towards the front wheel of the car.
"The mudguard needs to be a little lower in height and should move up and down with the tires. This will ensure that it doesn't get stuck on the ground and break, and it can also pick up small objects on the road!"
Chen Ke suddenly realized, but after thinking for a while, he felt that there were still some parts that didn't work.
"What if there's a pile of stuff in front of us? We'll probably just cut that up!"
Lu Yuan smiled and replied, "If it's designed to be pointed, then there won't be a problem. Even if there's a bunch of things in front, they'll all be divided to the sides, so this problem is no longer an issue!"
Chen Gang quickly took out his notebook and wrote down what Lu Yuan said.
Next up are the outer railings. Fearing attacks from outsiders, Lu Yuan plans to install protective bars and nets on all the windows to prevent robbers from smashing the glass with stones.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan pointed out that the car's standard front bumper was unnecessary and that a stronger bumper should be installed, and if possible, some spikes should be added to the bumper to prevent people from blocking the road and stealing the car.
After all the ideas were approved, Chen Gang quickly began to work.
Lu Yuan and Chen Ke couldn't offer much help, so they called on others to make other preparations.
Around 3 a.m. the next day, Lu Yuan was sound asleep when he suddenly received a call from Chen Gang.
Still half asleep, he picked up his phone and pressed the answer button. He heard Chen Gang excitedly say, "Factory Manager! The cars are all modified! Everything is done according to your requirements! When are you coming to inspect them?"
It took Lu Yuan a while to react. He immediately sat up straight and said, "Wait for me! I'll be right there!"
This was a big deal. Lu Yuan hadn't expected that the other party could complete the car modification in just over ten hours. He was quite satisfied with Chen Gang's skills and even had some other ideas in mind. However, it wasn't the right time yet; testing the car was the key.
After changing his clothes, Lu Yuan headed straight to the rat trap manufacturing plant. When he arrived, he saw several people gathered around a truck, all of them looking on with great surprise.
"Lu Yuan, you're here! Look at this! I never expected Chen Gang to modify this car like this, it's so imposing!"
The crowd parted, and Chen Ke nodded repeatedly.
Looking at the vehicle in front of me, I saw that it had a mudguard that looked like a blade on the tires, protective nets had been installed on the windows on the doors and the windshield, and some sharp barbs had been welded on the doors and body. The truck bed also had a higher net.
"Hehe! You're awesome, Chen Gang! I didn't know you were so skilled. You finished it in such a short time! You're amazing!"
Chen Gang said with a proud look on his face, "This is nothing, this is just rough work. I originally wanted to do it more meticulously, but I didn't because I was in a hurry! If I had more time, I was planning to add some armor plates to the bottom!"
"That's enough. If the robbers manage to steal the whole car, adding more features won't help! The most important thing is practicality!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan looked at Chen Ke and said, "Have your cousin prepare the gasoline tomorrow! He can deliver it directly over then!"
Chen Ke nodded quickly, his eyes revealing a hint of gratitude as he looked at Lu Yuan. Without Lu Yuan, these people definitely wouldn't have come, and the car wouldn't have been able to be fixed. All of this was thanks to Lu Yuan. He now finally understood how low-key this guy was.
