"The core is still the internal hardware."
Rowan spoke with great excitement.
The Peugeot 406 and Citroen Xantia used the same platform.
The old Citroën dominated the moose test list for many years, with the best result in the moose test being 85km/h, and its performance was quite strong.
Equipped with Xantia's advanced hydropneumatic suspension system, it offers top-notch ultimate dynamic performance.
In terms of handling, because of this simple and practical active hydraulic suspension system, and the fact that PSA's engineers have always maintained a high level of chassis tuning, the Peugeot 406 has excellent handling and chassis performance.
"The existing platform was pretty good, so I didn't change anything."
Rowan said "Using a computer as an example, this is the motherboard of a P C."
"The motherboard is already good enough. It would be time-consuming and laborious to upgrade it to a better one, and it might not even improve performance much. There's no need to do that."
"My focus is on 'graphics card' and 'CPU', and I choose the ones that are suitable for this platform."
"For the engine, I chose to use a 6.75L twin-turbocharged V12 engine developed specifically for racing."
"The maximum power is 570 horsepower, the peak torque is 850 Nm, and the top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h, but I upgraded the ECU power to be able to reach the top speed."
"I also tuned the engine management and exhaust system to make it fit."
"Equipped with a manual-automatic racing gearbox, it provides a perfect control experience just like a professional racing car."
Each one is the result of painstaking efforts and is a top-notch transformation.
Lily was curious about how Rowan got these things.
But she was a very smart girl, and her curiosity about the engine was not as strong as her curiosity about Rowan.
She listened to Rowan's introduction, looked at the unfamiliar buttons on the center console, and asked in confusion, "What are those buttons?"
"This is a one-click car transformation function that I designed specially."
Rowan smiled proudly "I don't really like transformation. I always think that transformation is not as reliable, simple and durable as being in one body, but transformation is indeed cool!"
Not practical, but handsome. Being handsome is all!
Rowan pressed the morph key. Front bumper, rear bumper, performance rear wing, rear diffuser... Peugeot 406 has simply changed its skin.
The new design draws inspiration from the great white shark, a brutal and efficient hunting machine, and has a more aggressive appearance.
Lily said sincerely, "Cool!"
Rowan laughed and said, "The most interesting modification is the nitrous oxide acceleration system."
"Nitrogen-oxygen acceleration system?"
"That's a new technology from America. It took me a lot of effort to learn it."
Rowan "This nitrox acceleration system is optimized based on the nitrox acceleration system developed by Holley, an American company."
Nitrogen accounts for about 78% of th e atmosphere and is extremely stable, so it is impossible for it to accelerate a racing car.
The main reactant of this acceleration system is nitrous oxide (N2O). The principle is simply that the compressed liquefied nitrous oxide enters the cylinder and decomposes into oxygen and nitrogen when heated.
The ratio of oxygen to nitrogen in the decomposed gas is 1:2, with oxygen molecules accounting for one-third, which is higher than the 21% in normal air. The entry of a large amount of oxygen means that the engine can burn more fuel, thereby increasing the engine's power, while the gasification and decomposition of nitrous oxide absorbs heat, providing cooling assistance for the engine's compression stage.
Nitrous oxide is also widely used as an oxidizer during rocket takeoff due to its low toxicity and stability.
This also has disadvantages. Nitrous oxide is pre-filled into gas tanks and installed and debugged, and frequent use of this acceleration method will greatly damage the service life of the vehicle.
The main direction of optimization is to improve these two points, making installation more convenient and without causing damage to the engine.
This is technology captured using agents and hackers.
The setting of this world is very interesting. Other technologies are basically the same as in reality, but there are a lot of black technologies related to modified cars.
If it weren't for the purpose of completing the story, Rowan really wanted to go to America to experience street racing for real.
"Taxi" is said to be a French racing film, but due to limited conditions and funds in the script, it is actually not that exciting.
Rowan thought that when he had money in the future, he would definitely make the most exciting and explosive car movie s!
Because Lily was interested in this, Rowan spent more time introducing it.
It's really a great experience to have common hobbies and topics with your loved ones.
It was his first day at the new job and Rowan was almost late.
Fortunately, with the assistance of his other skills, the unlicensed driver was highly focused and accelerated all the way to catch up.
Driving while playing with birds on the way to work.
Petting cats for therapy after getting off work.
The life of a taxi driver was so simple and boring.
May 4: I started this new diary to encourage myself to work harder in the summer. I finished reading the modification manual at hand and made some upgrades to my car.
May 13: Treat Lily.
May 14: Treat Lily.
May 15: Give Lily treatment.
May 16: Rowan, oh Rowan! How could you be so depraved! Have you forgotten the modification plan we had planned? This cannot go on!
May 17: Treat Lily.
May 18: Give Lily treatment.
__________________________
On this day, Rowan was waiting in the familiar taxi to order a meal as usual.
While eating his sandwich, Rowan read the book without blinking.
Rowan discovered another interesting point.
In addition to new technologies, "Taxi" also features some novels, movies, and comics that do not exist in reality.
He had noticed this before, but had different priorities than.
The Spawn segment was too short.
In "Face/Off" it was harder to focus on anything but the script as it was his first official work.
The other two films also had their own limitations because they played minor supporting roles, it's a miracle that he was able to get the newspapers to check on the Asian Financial Crisis in "Good Will Hunting".
He did play the leading male role in "The Mask of Zorro", and the world of the copy was extremely real, but the background of that world was in the 19th century.
"Taxi" was the first time that the character and the world background were suitable, which also made Rowan discover a gold mine.
--For a genius like him, these worlds are goldmines.
Maybe the lack of details doesn't help much, but it can give him some inspiration, which is enough for Rowan.
Just when he was halfway through his meal, the back door of the car was opened.
A middle-aged man walked in and asked anxiously "Can you save me?"
Rowan closed the book and scratched the pigeon's chin on his shoulder. "In principle, no. Is there anything you need help with?"
"The plane takes off in 25 minutes. If I can't catch it, I'm screwed."
The man took out his wallet and said, "If you can catch up, the tip will be yours."
Rowan took a look and saw it was one hundred euros.
"Oh."
He whistled and took the money "You are lucky. I am not a doctor but I like to save lives."
"A warm reminder to you, please fasten your seat belts."
"Please hurry up."
The middle-aged man urged him as he fastens his seat belt.
After fastening it, the middle-aged man suddenly realized a question: 'Why should I wear this when sitting in the back seat?'
For some reason, the middle-aged man felt a little uneasy.
Soon the uneasiness grew.
Because after Rowan put the book away gracefully, he pressed the transformation button.
Front bumper, performance rear wing...the ordinary Peugeot 406 has changed its skin in the blink of an eye.
Bang!
The front and rear license plates were flipped over and had another number on them.
The middle-aged man touched his cheek nervously, feeling like a guinea pig on a mad scientist's operating table.
Watching Rowan locks the pigeon and replaced the steering wheel, he couldn't heIp asking, "Well, your car is special, and so is the pigeon. Now Can we set off now?"
"certainly."
Rowan pressed the timer on the electronic watch and then made an 'ok' gesture.
boom!
Just as his hand fell, the car let out a low engine roar.
Release the handbrake, shift the gear with your right hand and step on the accelerator. Without waiting for the speed to increase, Rowan steers the steering wheel and the Peugeot 406 turns suddenly.
The car body shifted sideways in an instant, as if it was "thrown" out, and the tires made a harsh rubber friction sound against the road.
The whole car slid, with the front of the car pointing toward the road exiting the curve, and the rear of the car began to swing.
Time seemed to slow down, so slow that the middle-aged man who was thrown against the car door could see the oncoming car.
When he opened his eyes wide and was about to scream, the Peugeot 406 just brushed past him and completed the drift on the spot with an extreme arc.
boom!!!
