With the fuel tank full of gasoline, Qian Wang plopped down in the driver's seat.
Ignition, throttle.
The engine emitted a deep hum.
Regardless of the engine's power, Wu Changfeng was very satisfied just by listening to the idling sound.
Wu Changfeng said curiously to Zuo Dong, "Not bad! Just from the sound, it's a good thing."
Zuo Dong smiled with considerable pride: "I even had a retired engineer help me with this."
Wu Changfeng nodded: "Making use of all available resources is perfectly reasonable."
Zuo Dong echoed, "Of course, it cost a lot of money. Without your R&D funding, I wouldn't have dared to do this."
After the engine was idling properly, Qian Wang directed everyone to load the large stones into the truck bed.
Zuo Dong watched his eyelids twitch up and down, and asked incredulously, "Still pretending? That's too much!"
Wu Changfeng continued to pretend, then replied, "Don't worry about my rear axle not being able to withstand it."
Zuo Dong wanted to yell, "I'm afraid the engine won't be able to move!"
However, after thinking about it, Zuo Dong realized that there was nothing to worry about at all, since the engine he developed had much more horsepower than that of an ordinary motorcycle.
A short while later.
Two tons of weight were loaded onto the truck.
Qian Wang started driving the tricycle around the workshop.
The powerful engine delivers absolutely formidable power, effortlessly pulling heavy loads as it goes.
Qian Wang continued to accelerate.
And you know what? Even with such heavy cargo, it can still run.
It can reach speeds of up to 50 mph!
Of course, testing a tricycle cannot be done by testing just one aspect.
There are also various complex road conditions, such as uphill, downhill, and bumpy roads.
Since it was intended for use in rural areas, it had to be adapted to all sorts of complex road conditions. After all, in those days, rural infrastructure was relatively underdeveloped, and muddy rural roads that traversed mountains and valleys were the norm. Flat roads were only available in towns and villages.
In addition, agricultural tricycles must be sturdy enough, and the materials used must not be skimped on. They should be reinforced as much as possible. As for noise and comfort, those are all secondary considerations.
Farmers don't want comfort, they want practicality. A sturdy, durable product that can haul goods is better than anything else.
Of course, the most important point is the braking system.
With such a heavy load, it won't be good if the brakes can't be applied.
To paraphrase a classic saying from later generations: No matter how high you fly, you still have to land steadily.
The test site with its uphill slope within the factory area must be ready.
Following Wu Changfeng's instructions, Qian Wang revved the engine and charged straight ahead.
Everyone looked on nervously, fearing the tricycle might roll off the road.
But the truth is, the tricycle was incredibly fast; it maintained a steady speed and climbed directly to the top of the hill.
Then, Qian Wang turned around and swooped down.
The massive inertial acceleration looked incredibly dangerous.
But Qian Wang slammed on the brakes, and with a screech, the car came to a steady stop in the middle of the slope, motionless.
Everyone in the room was shocked.
Is this still the tricycle we remember?
The brakes are amazing!
As expected of an island nation's system, it's truly impressive!
Three or four hundred pounds VS two tons!
20 mph vs. 50 mph!
It absolutely blows away the few tricycles currently on the market!
The entire workshop erupted in excitement!
This kind of high-intensity, high-pressure testing completely changed their impression of tricycles:
"My goodness! That's incredible!"
"It's really impressive that the tricycle can stop smoothly while carrying such a heavy load."
"Our boss is really something else, especially the rear axle."
"Give me a break. What can you do with just a rear axle if you don't have an engine?"
"You still don't understand? The rear axle is the main component for hauling cargo and maintaining stability. Even if you have this kind of engine, without a rear axle, it's useless! No matter how powerful the engine is, it can only pull 400 pounds at most."
"That's ridiculous. Without an engine, it's useless no matter how much cargo you can load on the rear axle."
"I find it hard to argue. Without a rear axle, who would fund engine research?"
"Without an engine, your rear axle is useless."
"Damn it, I have megalophobia, don't talk to me!"
"Huh? Megalocyphobia?"
"Yes, you're a big idiot, that's why I have megalophobia."
"Damn it! Are you trying to cause trouble?!"
...
After the experiment was successful, Wu Changfeng waved his hand and said, "Alright, Boss Zuo, I want the engines. I'll take as many as you have. You can only sell them to me."
Zuo Dong was overjoyed; the inspection had been passed!
Zuo Dong rubbed his hands together: "To be honest, nobody wants this kind of standalone engine. I'll go back and start producing it at full capacity."
Wu Changfeng nodded: "Hurry up and ship the goods as soon as possible."
The two shook hands: "It's a pleasure working with you."
After seeing Zuo Dong and the others off.
Wu Changfeng returned to the workshop, looked around the tricycle, and became more and more delighted.
Once this product is released, won't it sweep the market?
Not only can the loan be repaid, but a substantial profit can also be made, injecting strong capital into the future development of Qimingxing.
In this way, they can support a large number of research and development personnel.
Of course, tricycles are just one part of Wu Changfeng's business plan to focus on the domestic market.
Just take it one step at a time.
Inside the factory area, three assembled tricycle prototypes are still being tested.
They raced around the factory area in circles.
There's no other reason than that it takes a long time to operate before some hidden problems can be discovered.
At this moment.
A canteen employee ran over: "Qian Wang, can I borrow your motorcycle?"
Qian Wang, who was squatting in the corner smoking, immediately became unhappy: "What the hell? Li kid, why do you always borrow my car?"
