I am farming in the real world

Chapter 206: This Car is a Monster!

Listening to Chen Jue's explanation of 'MC,' the Zhongtai engineers present all wore expressions of 'As expected of the boss, his vision is broad,' filling their minds with their own interpretations.

Now that information related to the MC game in the real world has been inexplicably erased, Chen Jue naturally doesn't worry about using the abbreviation of 'Minecraft.'

After all, the English letters and numbers, or the Chinese characters representing the manufacturer, often affixed to the rear of a car, are primarily used for showboating and flaunting, in addition to indicating the model's displacement, power, and engine operating mode.

Some car owners who admire foreign countries and foreign car companies even remove Chinese characters like 'BMW Brilliance' or 'FAW-Volkswagen,' leaving only the English and numbers to display their sophisticated taste in cars.

Chen Jue naturally scoffs at this kind of worshiping foreign things.

Therefore, after creating an 'MC' badge to highlight the existence of MC utility creatures like Iron Golems for this Zhongtai ZT700, Chen Jue also specifically added the Chinese characters 'Mojue Zhongtai'.

As for the original '4.7L' displacement numbers, Chen Jue removed them.

Because under the Iron Golems' modifications, the engine power of this Zhongtai ZT700 has been altered beyond recognition!

When the Zhongtai engineers and technicians on site pushed the car to a spacious platform in the first-floor boathouse workshop to start it up, the roar from the exhaust pipe, resembling a cheetah's howl, immediately changed the expressions of these insiders.

"This… this exhaust sound is so deep and powerful!"

"It seems our parent company has some talented people!"

"As expected of a place where mechanical geniuses gather; they can even build ships. Modifying a car is a piece of cake."

After enjoying the salary increase, the old employees of Zhongtai began to shower the boss with praise.

After all, the big boss was watching from the side; no amount of flattery was too much.

However, when they tried to open the rear engine compartment cover and plug a data decoder into the car's computer, the 'V8' and '7.7L' markings engraved on the engine cylinder head stunned everyone!

"Holy crap!"

"7.7-liter displacement?"

"How was this modified?"

"The cylinder block size doesn't seem to have changed much!"

Everyone gathered around the engine compartment, discussing animatedly.

You should know that the original displacement of this Zhongtai ZT700 was 4.7L, which is a full 3 liters less than the current 7.7L.

Currently, the only companies in the world with the technology to make a V8 engine with a displacement of over 7L are Chrysler and Chevrolet, which specialize in American muscle high-performance sports cars.

In addition to affecting the engine's output power and horsepower, the size of a car's displacement is primarily determined by the engine's total cylinder volume.

The larger the cylinder, the larger the displacement, and the larger the engine size should be, normally speaking.

At this time, Iron Lao Liu, who had changed into a [Mechanical Engineer] skin, introduced under Chen Jue's instruction: "The cylinder block parameters haven't changed. We just bored out the cylinder volume inside a bit."

As soon as these words came out, the Zhongtai engineers present all felt a thud in their hearts.

If it weren't for the presence of the big boss Chen Jue, they might have even wanted to scold Iron Lao Liu for "messing around!"

"Hiss~ Bore out the cylinder to expand the volume? Wouldn't that make the cylinder walls thinner?"

"With the cylinder wall thickness of our original design, it's already at its limit to withstand 4.7 liters."

"This… won't it explode after stepping on the accelerator a few times?"

Mao Jie, the middle-aged engineer responsible for the engine cylinder block design and the powertrain head of the ZT700 project, began to look strange.

Mao Jie knew the cylinder wall parameters of this engine almost like the back of his hand.

Because he had personally borrowed the cylinder block design drawings of a very mature American V8 engine from General Motors to equip the ZT700 with an engine.

For automotive R\u0026D departments, borrowing some mature designs is nothing.

After all, it's an experimental concept car that hasn't been launched on the market yet. They can do whatever they want behind closed doors.

But Mao Jie never imagined that they would dare to bore out the cylinder walls to increase the volume ratio!

This is a mature design from General Motors. Even slightly changing the parameters would disrupt the overall working condition of the engine.

Even the worst car repairmen know that you can't just bore out the cylinder walls. Even if you do, you have to add a cylinder liner to restore the cylinder diameter parameters.

What else could it mean that these old foxes from Mojue Group dared to play like this, other than that they are novices in the automotive field?

So, when Mao Jie plugged the data decoder into the car's computer and glanced at the engine operating parameters displayed on it, a 'as expected' expression immediately appeared on his face: "Incomplete combustion in the cylinder? Power output is only about 60% of the 7.7-liter level."

At this time, Iron Lao Liu reminded him from the side: "Because it's adapted to the original 4.7-liter operating program, if you want to debug the new engine's operating conditions to the best state, you must rewrite the ECU and rebuild the engine's operating logic. This is your job; the boss is waiting!"

The ECU is the car's controller, responsible for data output and collection during the car's operation.

Some car modification shops like to flash the ECU program of some performance cars, such as flashing stage 1, stage 2, etc. The purpose of this operation is to increase the vehicle's power output by 10% to 20% by changing the software program without changing the engine hardware.

After hearing Iron Lao Liu's reminder, Mao Jie immediately realized where the problem was.

So, with the help of his colleagues, he modified the ECU program on the spot, adjusting the engine operating parameters to a state adapted to the 7.7-liter displacement.

"Brother Jie, will it work?"

"The cylinder walls have been bored out, I'm afraid the cylinder will explode if we go to 100% power."

"You have to stay away when you step on the accelerator later."

Several young technicians helping out whispered from the side, fearing that the engine would explode and splash them with oil and debris.

Seeing that Chen Jue was watching from the side with a 'watching a good show' attitude, Mao Jie couldn't express his opinion on the spot, so he could only take a deep breath and grit his teeth to move the car onto the dynamometer that had just been sent from Zhongtai and fixed the car body.

"Start testing the horsepower!"

Mao Jie personally took the stage, sat in the luxurious and technological cockpit. He stepped on the accelerator from shallow to deep, and the rear-wheel drive wheels of the ZT700 began to rotate at high speed, and the roar of the engine continued to sound from behind the car.

The entire body of the ZT700 jerked forward with this acceleration, and the parameters of the dynamometer behind it also soared rapidly under the public's attention, creating a J-shaped curve that no one could have imagined.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! It's still rising!"

"Wheel horsepower… maximum 1626.2 horsepower, peak torque 2002.7 Newton meters?"

"A 7.7-liter V8 can actually squeeze out this kind of horsepower?"

"This is without flashing a custom-tuned ECU performance parameter!"

The technicians at Zhongtai were stunned by the numbers displayed on the LCD screen.

You should know that in the current pure fuel-powered supercar circle, only Bugatti and Koenigsegg can produce 1600 horsepower.

But the engines they use are all W16 cylinders with a displacement of 8.0 liters!

A newly modified V8, an original stock car that hasn't even been tuned, can produce such terrifying horsepower performance with a casual step on the accelerator.

It's unbelievable just thinking about it!

Including Mao Jie, who was test-driving in the car, was also frightened by the output power of this newly modified ZT700.

Until the end of the first horsepower test, Mao Jie's entire face turned pale.

It wasn't that he was carsick, and the engine didn't explode as he feared.

The reason why he was pale was because Mao Jie had a feeling during the continuous acceleration that he was going to pull the dynamometer along with this ZT700 and fly off the lifting platform.

"Mon… monster!"

"This sports car is definitely a monster!"
