Start with a blacksmith shop

In the virtual laboratory, Li Zhenhua is admiring the two motorcycles placed in front of him.

There are two motorcycles, one is a five-cylinder 450cc, 71 horsepower, and the other is a seven-cylinder, 700cc, 111 horsepower.

Of course, these two complete vehicles were realized in a virtual laboratory based on Li Zhenhua’s design.

I can see that there is not much difference between the two cars, except that the 111-horsepower one has a larger engine under the mailbox than the 71-horsepower one. The corresponding engine is larger, and the model is also larger.

The engine is located under the motorcycle's fuel tank. The engine has a transverse layout, which means that all cylinders of the engine are facing the wind.

For the engine cooling system, liquid cooling is used, and a small water tank and fan are added.

The combination of air cooling and liquid cooling reduces engine heat to a minimum.

The engine's power transmission does not use the chain drive commonly used on modern motorcycles, but instead uses a relatively complex shaft drive.

The entire transmission shaft replaces the transmission chain, and power is transmitted from the engine through the transmission shaft to the front and rear wheels.

Yes, you read that right, this motorcycle has full-time two-wheel drive on the front and rear wheels, which also greatly increases the passing ability of the motorcycle.

As for the position of the exhaust, there are two on each side. The one on the left is thicker and the one on the right is thinner.

The thick one is connected to three bars, and the thin one is connected to two steel bars.

As for the seven-cylinder version, the exhaust pipe is thicker than that of the five-cylinder version. After all, there are two more cylinders in displacement.

As for the instrument part of the motorcycle, Li Zhenhua did not study it thoroughly, so he did not choose an LCD instrument, but used a mechanical instrument. This is also a little regretful for this car.

As for the fuel tank, it is a bit big. After testing by Li Zhenhua in the virtual laboratory, these two engines are not very fuel-efficient.

In actual testing, the 71-horsepower model had a combined fuel consumption of seven kilometers per 100 kilometers, while the 111-horsepower model had a fuel consumption of more than 11 kilometers.

Don't be dissatisfied with the cost of fuel. After all, this is a radial engine. It can achieve the current performance and it can be said to be very fuel-efficient.

The speed of the two cars is really not slow. Each of the two motorcycles weighing more than 400 kilograms can reach a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour. As long as the final speed is not measured, Li Zhenhua has not measured it.

The reason is also very simple. He cannot measure it in the laboratory. This may have to wait until it is created in reality.

Find a road with relatively few cars and relatively straight roads to test it out.

Anyway, when he drove the car to 307 kilometers before, the speed of the seven-cylinder model was still rising, but the upper body speed was very slow.

As for the seat design of the car, Li Zhenhua used his own body shape as a model according to the size of the car and designed the seats to be extremely comfortable.

The comfort level is almost the same as sitting on a sofa. Like ordinary cruisers, they are all cars based on long-distance riding comfort.

Since it is a cruise car, cruise control is definitely indispensable. In order to have this function, as mentioned before, the throttle has been modified.

On the right hand side of the throttle, there is a gear lying flat. Inside the gear is a coiled throttle cable. The innermost side of the throttle handle is a vertical gear.

Turn the handle, the vertical gear rotates, driving the flat gear to also rotate. The flat gear tightens the throttle cable and increases the throttle.

As long as something is added between the two gears, the gears can be stuck, thus realizing simple cruise control.

The sound of the engine is that of a radial engine. It is continuous and does not make the sound of horse hooves like Indians and Harleys.

As for the multimedia systems and entertainment systems that are usually equipped on cruise cars, they are not available on the car. After all, he can't even understand the LCD instrument, how could he add these.

Li Zhenhua has already thought about these systems. After the actual car is built, he will find talents in this field to add these systems. The purely mechanical look is not unacceptable now.

As for the future, he also thought about it. These can be regarded as optional equipment. There will always be people who buy purely mechanical ones, and there are also many people who don't like these technologies.

Now that the car has not been built in reality, he is already thinking about selling the car later.

The car was built in the virtual laboratory, but there was no shadow of it in reality. Thinking of this made him feel distressed.

Li Zhenhua waved his hand at the two cars in front of him, and the two cars, full of mechanical beauty, disappeared from in front of him.

Then he also withdrew from the virtual laboratory. At this time, fifteen days had passed since he returned from Peiping.

He looked up at the clock on the wall. The time was only twelve o'clock at noon. Due to the intense mental exertion, his stomach began to growl.

We came down from the second floor and had something simple at a small restaurant in the town, a bowl of old tofu, a tea egg, and three large sesame cakes. Two tablespoons of chili oil and a spoonful of chili were added to the old tofu.

After eating, Li Zhenhua went home and opened his newly configured computer on the counter on the first floor of the blacksmith shop.

He used CAD to draw the motorcycle drawings on it. He actually completed the design in the virtual laboratory, supporting a team by himself.

However, the design drawings were also left in the virtual laboratory, and there was no way to export them, so he could only draw them one part at a time.

This was a huge undertaking. While he was drawing the drawings, the distinctive sound of a diesel engine came from outside the door.

As soon as he heard it, he knew that it must be Liu Xiaodong outside the door, driving a pickup truck to play with him again.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Xiaodong walked in from the door. Without being polite, he directly picked up the thermos bottle next to the counter, took a teacup, put some tea leaves in it, and poured water on it.

Liu Xiaodong looked at Li Zhenhua, who was silent and looking at the computer attentively, and couldn't help but ask the questions in his heart.

"Hey, are you out of control? Why have I never seen you leave your computer since you came back from Peking?

I haven't turned on the furnace to strike lately. What's wrong with you? Lost your life purpose?

Before you come back, aren't you thinking about helping Guo Ba transform his motorcycle? "

Facing Liu Xiaodong's question, Li Zhenhua did not answer him immediately. Instead, he clicked to save the part he had just drawn.

Then he started operating on the computer, called up a picture, and then turned the computer screen to Liu Xiaodong, signaling for him to take a look first.

Liu Xiaodong was very puzzled by Li Zhenhua's behavior and did not understand what he meant at all.

But when he set his eyes on the computer screen, he could no longer take his eyes off the computer screen.

The picture in this chapter is a virtual picture that Li Zhenhua first used CAD and Maya to draw. The picture is very lifelike. Just rendering this picture took the computer more than 30 hours.

It can be said that it is exactly a photo of a motorcycle taken in a virtual laboratory.

"Fuck, what is this?"
