Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 26 Going Out to Toss

After dinner, Dongda Tietou asked Wei Jiang to take him to visit the interior of the auto repair shop.

"The popularization of electric cars is a major trend. Small auto repair shops like yours will not be able to do well in the future."

Dong Datietou sighed as he followed Wei Jiang to the work shed nearby.

Wei Jiang smiled and replied casually:
"Fortunately, we still have hybrid cars. Business is still good now."

Wei Jiang does not intend to promote the power battery replacement business too much, especially with a big internet celebrity like Dongda Tietou.

As an experienced car reviewer, Dongda Tietou certainly knows more about the development and technological level of the electric vehicle industry than Wei Jiang.

A small auto repair shop can provide a large number of second-hand power batteries, and it is difficult for the other party not to think too much when they know about it.

"The equipment is very simple and can only handle general vehicle problems. It is definitely not comparable to 4S stores."

Wei Jiang pointed to the auto repair equipment in the shed and explained.

Looking at the neatly displayed and slightly worn equipment in the auto repair shop, Dongda Tietou knew in his heart that the business of this auto repair shop would definitely not be very good.

Considering that it is an auto repair shop located in a village on the outskirts of the city, especially it is some distance away from the highway, there must be very few car owners who can come here on a normal day.

"It's not easy for you and uncle either."

"But then again, one of my fans actually came to your place. I have to say it's quite fate."

Feeling the force of Dongda Tietou's palm gently patting on his back, Wei Jiang knew that the other party's association must be bad.

Feeling the comfort in the other person's words and actions, Wei Jiang smiled without explaining.

This is good. There is no conflict of interest between the two of them, so they can just get along with each other.

Dongda Tietou turned his head and scanned the environment inside the shed. When his eyes swept to a large object covered with moisture-proof cloth in the yard, he moved his feet and walked over.

"What is this?"

Wei Jiang saw the other person standing next to the hand-rubbing submersible and followed him over.

After coming out of the submarine cockpit, he covered the submarine with moisture-proof cloth before leaving the shed.

"A little gadget, a little invention."

After listening to Wei Jiang’s explanation, Dongda Tietou became even more curious.

He had ridden in Wei Jiang's Wuling mini, and he had seen the level of modification of Wei Jiang's car.

With such hands-on ability, he really wanted to see what the little invention Wei Jiang mentioned would look like.

"Would it be convenient for me to look at you?"

Seeing that the other party's hand had already lifted a corner of the moisture-proof cloth, Wei Jiang thought that there was nothing he couldn't see.

"Okay, just don't make fun of me."

With Wei Jiang's permission, Dong Datietou was obviously excited, and the two of them worked together to uncover the black moisture-proof cloth.

A silver-gray manta ray-like metallic submarine was displayed in front of the two.

"Wow! What is this?"

"It looks like a marine creature. Are you making a metal biological model?"

Dongda Tietou was amazed by the metal creature in front of him.

A car repair shop owner actually has the time to make this kind of thing.

As soon as he finished speaking he realized something was wrong.

"No! You mean the little invention?"

"This thing has to have some use, what is it for?"

Wei Jiang felt a little proud at being able to introduce his creation to others.

He took a step forward and walked to the other person's side. He leaned over and opened the back armor of the submarine's cockpit to reveal the cockpit.

"Wow!"

Dongda Tietou leaned over to look at the display and joystick in the cockpit, then turned around and asked with his mouth wide open:
“Isn’t this a car?”

Wei Jiang shook his head, expressing helplessness at this guy's lack of imagination.

"Can this car be driven out? Do you think there's something wrong with my brain?"

Seeing the other party's puzzled look, Wei Jiang decided not to keep it a secret. "This is a manned submersible, the kind that can go into the water."

After Wei Jiang finished explaining, he walked to the workbench next to him and operated the computer to start the submersible's power module.

Feeling the metal object beneath him shake inside, Dong Datietou was a little scared and stepped back to Wei Jiang's side.

I saw the manta ray's large wings begin to vibrate slowly, and the amplitude of the vibration was actually somewhat like the flapping of a manta ray's wings.

"Awesome! You're better at playing than my buddy."

Dongda Tietou gave a thumbs up.

"Have you ever submerged this submersible?"

"Not yet. I was planning to test it in the water tomorrow, but now it seems I have to wait until I get back from Shangdu."

"That's true."

Dongda Tietou nodded, and they agreed to set off for Shangdu tomorrow and meet at a hotel near the exhibition center in the evening.

I knocked on the surface of the submarine with my hand, and the metal texture was obvious.

"This thing is so heavy, it won't sink directly into the water, right?"

Pointing at the cockpit, Dong Datietou couldn't help but persuade Wei Jiang.

"You better be careful. If you sink in there, it could be fatal."

Wei Jiang didn't care about the other party's concerns. He had already conducted air tightness tests on the submersible in the past few days. As long as it didn't enter the deep water and high pressure area, there was no need to worry about water leakage.

"Don't worry, I won't risk my life. I'm not as timid as you."

Hearing that Wei Jiang was trying to make fun of him for going up the mountain to test in the middle of the night, Dong Datietou just laughed and did not refute.

"Remember to let me know when you test the submersible. I'd like to come and see it if I have time."

"I know. We'll see when the time comes."

Although he verbally agreed to the other party, Wei Jiang actually did not plan to invite other people to witness the submersible test to avoid unnecessary trouble.

When the night climbed up the sky, Wei Jiang and his son sent Dong Datietou out of the yard, and the other party drove over in an M7.

This love for domestic automobile brands is indeed deep.

Wei Jiang watched the other party drive away and returned to the house with his father.

We have to leave early tomorrow morning and pack our luggage at night.
-
After breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning, Wei Jiang and his son went out.

Looking at Wei Jiang sitting in the driver's seat, playing with his mobile phone and doing nothing, Wei Yonghe couldn't help but sigh.

“Will no one be able to drive in the future?”

"maybe."

Dongda Tietou just sent him a message saying that he had already boarded the high-speed train to Shangdu. He told Wei Jiang to go slower and go to the service area to charge if the battery life was insufficient.

Wei Jiang could see that the other party was really worried that his Wuling mini would break down on the highway.

The actual situation was that Wei Jiang was going to have a good rest with his father. They finished packing their luggage a little late last night and neither of them had gotten enough rest.

Looking at the remaining range shown on the vehicle instrument panel, it was 1894 km, which was enough for three round trips between Nanshi and Shangdu.

Halfway through the journey, Wei Jiang opened his eyes and noticed that his father was snoring slightly. He fixed his gaze on the front.

The red panel displays text that only he can see.

[Enhanced mission: drive 10000 km, current mission progress 6685 km/10000 km. ]

Since the car accident on the mountain road that day, Wei Jiang let the Wuling mini out for a run in the mountains again at night in the following few days.

There are still more than 3300 kilometers to complete the reinforcement mission. Wei Jiang estimates that it should be completed after returning from Shangdu.

That’s when the Manta Ray Submarine can make use of its newly acquired anchoring times!
"After arriving in Shangdu, you can go out at night to see the night view."

"By the way, I'll harass the big guys in the domestic auto industry. I hope they develop a good habit of insomnia."

It would be a shame for Wei Jiang if they didn't work overtime even though the technology was already delivered to their doorstep.
