A Powerful Heart!

To some extent, Taylor Motors was completely ruined by Eddicott, who ultimately pushed it into the abyss. Of course, Little Taylor Jr. also bears some responsibility for misjudging people.

What happened before is in the past, and Eddicott will receive the punishment he deserves. Now, what Chen Mo needs to do is to pull this company, which has fallen into the abyss, back up and lead it to its peak!

After learning more about the car model, Chen Mo had a general idea in mind, but he would have to see the design drawings and prototypes before he could make any specific decisions.

The research and development office of Taylor Motors, now known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company.

Chen Mo sat in front of the computer, quickly reviewing the design blueprints of this failed bulletproof off-road vehicle.

With his reaction speed and memory far exceeding that of ordinary people, Chen Mo quickly finished reading all the blueprints for the car, including the complete set of blueprints for the new engine that he had just retrieved from the engine R&D team.

Based on his previous inspection of the only prototype vehicle, Chen Mo had a clear understanding of the entire vehicle's condition.

Based on Chen Mo's understanding, if we disregard the engine issue, the overall performance of the vehicle they designed should be at a mid-level in the current field of bulletproof cars. This is already quite remarkable for the R&D and design department, which is designing Bulletproof Armor completely independently for the first time.

This is quite different from their previous modifications to armored vehicles.

Modification only requires partial alterations to the original vehicle and does not involve a complete redesign of the car, making it much easier. This is why there are many modification shops that modify bulletproof cars, but few car manufacturing companies that can independently produce bulletproof cars.

After thoroughly understanding the design drawings and data of this failed new car model, Chen Mo had a clear idea of what was going on, and his previous thought became even clearer.

After a moment's thought, Chen Mo made a decision and immediately stretched out his hands to quickly type on the keyboard, issuing commands one after another.

Soon after Michael, the company's general manager, returned to his office from the conference room, he received instructions from Chen Mo and a long procurement list. Along with the order came a huge sum of $500 million, which was injected into the company's account.

The company, which had been stagnant and lifeless, was revitalized, and all departments quickly sprang into action according to Chen Mo's orders.

Numerous equipment and material procurement orders were issued by the purchasing department, large sums of money were poured in, and various large, medium and small production and processing equipment, high-precision instruments, and various raw materials were quickly transported over in batches.

What surprised the purchasing staff was that the equipment purchased included forging and casting equipment such as vacuum arc melting furnaces, hot rolling mills for steel plates, and large-tonnage hydraulic presses, which are usually only used when producing special alloys.

Moreover, the procurement list includes many types of metal raw materials, including common metals such as iron, magnesium, aluminum, calcium, and manganese, as well as expensive rare metals such as barium, titanium, tungsten, rhenium, molybdenum, chromium, and vanadium, and in considerable quantities.

In addition to the large-scale procurement of equipment and raw materials, the production department also made significant adjustments under Chen Mo's orders.

After the original models are discontinued, the factory and production lines will also need to be renovated and adjusted.

Although he had sufficient funds, Chen Mo was not in a hurry to replace the car production line with a more automated and advanced one.

Not to mention that ordering automated equipment takes a long time, installation and debugging will take even longer before it can be put into production. In the short term, the company's original semi-manual production mode is sufficient to meet the initial production needs.

Of course, this production line will definitely be replaced with an automated production line in the future, but there is no need to purchase it from outside. Chen Mo has a complete set of advanced automated production line blueprints and can build it himself. Of course, that's a matter for the future.

Taylor Motors originally had four models on sale, which shared a production line and occupied a large factory building as their car production workshop.

In addition, Taylor Motors has two large factories: one is a modification workshop specializing in the modification of special vehicles, and the other is a chassis production and parts processing center, responsible for the production and processing of some automotive parts and the manufacturing of its own chassis.

These three large factory buildings, plus a three-story office building, constituted all of Taylor Motors's assets.

Chen Mo has now shut down all production of all models. Under Chen Mo orders, the workers and engineers quickly sprang into action, adjusting and rearranging the factory's equipment.

The modification workshop and the production workshop were merged, and all the outdated equipment was eliminated. New equipment was replaced and added, and the workshop was quickly integrated into a larger bulletproof off-road vehicle production line. Most of the existing workers were also assigned to this production line. Once it is fully operational, the production capacity will far exceed that of the past.

In fact, Taylor Company used to sell only about two thousand cars a year. The original production line was not fully utilized. If sales could keep up, the annual output could reach up to ten thousand vehicles by increasing the number of workers.

After integrating the modification workshop and replacing and adding a large number of equipment for improvement and enhancement, the maximum annual production of 15,000 vehicles is not a problem. However, with the current number of workers, it is impossible to reach this output. But an annual production of 3,000 vehicles is still not a problem at all, which means that ten vehicles can be produced per day.

The modification workshop and the production workshop were merged, and the vacant modification workshop was filled with a large number of newly purchased equipment, such as vacuum arc melting furnaces, rolling mills, hydraulic presses, die casting molds and die casting machines, etc., which were arranged in a certain pattern and neatly placed in the huge workshop.

While the company was busy with workshop integration and adjustments and purchasing equipment and materials, Chen Mo was not idle either. Once the production line was adjusted, it could be put into production. However, the original development of the bulletproof off-road vehicle was not successful and could not be put into production directly.

Therefore, after issuing the orders for workshop adjustments and equipment and material procurement that day, Chen Mo immediately began revising the design drawings for the new model.

Chen Mo's first target for modification was the engine!

This new engine, which took many years to finally be unveiled thanks to the efforts of the engine team members and the efforts of the team leader Eddicott, is far from reaching its full potential.

Under Eddicott's deliberate manipulation, the engine development had been carried out separately, with each team member only responsible for their own part. Despite the successful development, Eddicott kept it a secret until finally, under pressure from Little Taylor., he had no choice but to reluctantly integrate and manufacture the new engine.

However, it had not undergone systematic testing, adjustments, and improvements before, so the engine's potential had not been fully developed; it was essentially an incomplete version.

If the engine development team were to follow the normal procedures—testing, adjusting, verifying, modifying—it would take at least several months to finally tune the engine to its strongest performance.

Chen Mo, on the other hand, possesses advanced science and technology that is more than twenty years ahead of the current world, including the most advanced super car engine. His incredibly developed brain and super memory analysis and calculation abilities that surpass those of a Chen Mo genius allow him to quickly identify the defects and shortcomings of this incomplete version of the engine in a very short time, and improve it to fully unleash the engine's performance and achieve its best state.

After completing the engine design modifications, Chen Mo handed over the complete version of the blueprints to the R&D department, allowing them to begin the independent manufacturing of the engine.

With the engine blueprints and the corresponding production equipment, engine manufacturing is not difficult. The engine R&D team itself has the capability to manufacture a single engine; it's just a matter of putting it into mass production now.

In the United States, where the automotive industry is highly developed, what is truly rare is high-end technology. However, once the blueprints are available, mass production is not difficult, as the relevant production equipment is readily available.

Chen Mo had already included engine production equipment in the initial procurement list, so with sufficient financial support, the complete set of engine production equipment was delivered and installed quickly. The first fully-fledged engine was rapidly manufactured and installed on the prototype vehicle that had previously appeared strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside.

The result was obvious: thanks to the improvements made by Chen Mo, a super genius scientist who was able to work with Tony Stark to develop the Iron Man suit, the performance of this new engine was greatly enhanced compared to the previous one.

This improved 4.0T V6 twin-turbocharged engine boasts a maximum power of 650 horsepower at 6600 rpm and a peak torque of 750 Nm at 4500 rpm. It can easily power this 3.5-ton armored off-road vehicle, and even if it were twice as heavy!

With such a powerful engine, this previously "weak" bulletproof off-road vehicle has been given a second spring.

Its powerful engine makes it perform exceptionally well in acceleration, hill climbing, off-road driving, and top speed.

If it weren't for the slightly bulky and heavy body, no one would believe that this powerful off-road vehicle, which accelerates rapidly and climbs steep slopes with ease, is actually a 3.5-ton bulletproof off-road vehicle, which completely overturns the long-standing image of bulletproof vehicles as cumbersome.

Watching that heavy, agile figure Mercedes-Benz across the test track, everyone present was filled with confidence in the company's future.

Having worked in the automotive industry for so many years, their understanding of cars far surpasses that of most people. They are certain that no armored vehicle currently on the market can reach such a level.

It's not that there aren't cars with more powerful engines and higher torque, but those are all much larger, super-large bulletproof vehicles with a body length approaching or even exceeding six meters, which could even be considered civilian Bulletproof Armor.

These super-large bulletproof vehicles are enormous, heavily armored, and look almost identical to military armored vehicles. They are very ostentatious, as if they want everyone to know that they are driving bulletproof vehicles.

These bulky behemoths are equipped with V8 or even V10 engines. While they are powerful, their massive bodies and heavy armor also contribute to their weight. So, although they are more powerful than their V6 engines, they have to bear a greater load, making them even more cumbersome than ordinary armored vehicles.

Among large armored vehicles of similar size and weight, none can surpass this armored off-road vehicle in terms of power, which is equipped with a new engine personally improved by Chen Mo.

When bulletproof performance is comparable, the more powerful the engine, the better. After all, people who buy bulletproof cars want to ensure their personal safety when they encounter danger. A powerful engine allows them to evacuate the scene and get out of danger in the shortest possible time. It is obvious which customer will choose.

Moreover, such powerful performance also brings more possibilities to this car. While ensuring power, they can upgrade the bulletproof level and produce vehicles with different bulletproof levels to meet the needs of different customers.

Judging from the performance of this prototype, even the highest level VR10 modification will not affect its performance much.

Not to mention the confidence and ambition of the company's staff after seeing the performance of the prototype equipped with the full version of the engine, Chen Mo was not satisfied with this. This was just the beginning.

After resolving the engine issue, Chen Mo then proceeded to modify the design of the bulletproof off-road vehicle.

However, he didn't make any major changes. The car is a whole; changing one part affects the whole. Modifying one part may require corresponding changes to many other parts. The more changes are made, the more parts need to be changed, and the workload will be enormous, almost like redesigning from scratch.

Chen Mo couldn't possibly complete all the designs, from layout to parts, all by himself; that would take him a lot of time. If he delegated the task to the R&D and design departments, it would only take even longer.

Therefore, Chen Mo did not make any major changes, but only optimized and improved some minor details that were not closely related, which greatly improved its operability, stability, and flexibility.

The only major modification Chen Mo was to the suspension system.

Not long ago, Chen Mo, together with Tony Stark and others, developed the incredibly powerful Batmobile in the Iron Man universe. The vehicle's various functions are undoubtedly powerful, but many of them are not suitable for ordinary vehicles.

However, Chen Mo still weakened one of the functions and added it to this bulletproof off-road vehicle, namely the chassis height adjustment system.

Of course, unlike the complex transformation of the Batmobile, which directly changes from a sports car to an off-road vehicle, Chen Mo's improvements to this bulletproof off-road vehicle were much simpler. He only made improvements to the suspension system. Without changing other parts of the chassis, he changed the height of the chassis by raising and lowering the suspension system to cope with various complex road conditions.
