Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Building A Handcrafted Luxury Car

"Wait, what do you think about using titanium alloy to build a car?"Zhang Heng suddenly remembered that he had just thought of buying a car the day before, but then suppressed it for this reason: "Titanium alloy is mainly used in the aerospace field.Needless to say, its hardness is very high.If you build a titanium alloy car, I think the safety factor will be very high.""Captain, are you planning to build a car?" Smart No. 1 asked curiously."I don't plan to build a car, but I plan to build a car. I just want to make one, no, three cars for my own use."Zhang Heng did not make a fuss, nor did he expand: "A sports car, a sedan, and an SUV, all for my own use. Titanium alloy is safe and bulletproof.""If titanium alloy is used, especially titanium alloy with a quality of more than 90%, even the most powerful sniper rifle on earth can't hurt it at close range."Intelligent No. 1 gave a positive answer and agreed deeply: "Of course, the captain's things for his own use must be the best.""That's fine!"Zhang Heng was overjoyed, and waved his hand to call the intelligent program: "Use your computing power to design three types of cars, and then disassemble the components and list the materials.""I want to build three unique handmade luxury cars in the world!" Zhang Heng was proud."Understood!"The intelligent program received the command, and under the powerful computer, it quickly listed the appearance of the three cars.The appearance is cool, and the internal layout design is absolutely reasonable.With many car references, it was quickly designed.However, intelligent programs are programs after all, and they cannot be 100% humanized. Even if they are very humanized, personal aesthetics are similar.Zhang Heng proposed some personal aesthetic preferences and made continuous adjustments, mainly to sports cars. SUVs and extended versions of sedans are not included, because the appearance is actually the same."Yes, that's it, it's almost done!""Can the top of the head, the windshield and the hood be optimized? For example, add a laser radar to reserve space for automatic driving?""It doesn't seem to work... For a canopy supercar, just don't have a canopy, it will be much better, adjust it!"Zhang Heng still has a certain talent for design, and he has a lot of ideas. He added some small details. He is already very satisfied with the overall appearance and does not need to make any adjustments.Time passes bit by bit!The mining ship is not idle at all. It runs back and forth between the iron ore area and the coal mine area, mining, processing and refining, and then storing carbon steel.Unknowingly, there are as many as 910 tons of carbon steel in the storage space.Smart No. 1 also reminded in time!"Planning the route, I think you have recorded the distribution of many minerals on the seabed these days, right?"Zhang Heng had a plan in advance and issued the latest instructions: "Mining metal minerals that are helpful for repairing the hull, no need to wait for instructions to repair.""And... the car is almost like this, list it, and there are rare earths needed for repair, etc., all add them, and place an order." Zhang Heng gritted his teeth and said with heartache.After all, only secondary minerals can be mined!If deeper and better minerals can be mined, such as various rare earth mines, there is no need to pay extra to buy them from outside.At this stage, you can only buy them from outside.In a word: pay for it."Captain, the quantity is not small, and the value is not cheap!"Smart No. 1 kindly reminded and gave an estimated figure: "It is expected to be no less than 1 billion!""If the old does not go, the new will not come!"Zhang Heng's heart was bleeding, and he waved his hand: "Place the order, and the advance payment will be directly transferred from the bank account.""Okay!"A sailing journey is coming to an end.Because they wanted to mine copper, aluminum, manganese and other minerals, they deliberately took a detour, so it naturally took more time than usual.But with the maximum speed increased to 300 knots, it was less than the first voyage.Even if they went to the iron ore and coal mines three times, and mined a small amount of other minerals, it took only eight hours to return to the seaside near Zhangjia Village.They set sail at 1 pm, and when they came back, it was exactly 9 pm!"8 hours, in fact, you can run twice a day, maybe you will be tired, but what does being tired mean?"Zhang Heng looked at the time, calculated, and made a decision: "This is the biggest benefit of increasing the speed after repairs. Running two trips at a time, making money is the most important thing now, and there are still many places to spend money later."...
