Chapter 330 Beans, Peanuts and Cucumbers (Thanks to Ji Jue for Happy Birthday

While the Doujiao tricycles were selling well in the wilderness and making their way into various village clusters, the Coast Automobile Factory struck while the iron was hot and naturally displayed all the qualities and behaviors that a profiteer should have – when there is still some oil left in a toad, they will squeeze it to death and won’t let go even if they have to pee!

Just two weeks later, under Ji Jue’s instruction, Doujiao tricycle’s brother model…

——Peanut tricycle, shocking debut!
God damn peanuts!
When Shang Tongwen saw the second tricycle bought by his subordinates, he felt terrible.

The same bold black question mark as Yin Zhaoyang’s appeared on his forehead. He just wanted to grab that little Karami named Ji Jue and ask him by the neck – What the hell are you doing? !
Do you really want to fight?!

Are you really addicted to making tricycles?

This broken thing is a scaled-down version of the Bean Street Car from head to toe. Even the frame has been cut in half, turning it from a fully enclosed car into an open-air convertible.

He is simply a beggar among beggars!
But it made the experts who gathered again in the factory in East City gasp in unison.

Everyone thought that beans were the ultimate in cutting corners, but unexpectedly…

Are there any experts out there?!
“So light…”

The structural engineer who had just joined the company lay down under the tricycle, stretched out his hands tentatively, and lifted the entire tricycle without even much effort.

It’s almost the same as a small electric donkey!
The car body is still without any paint, and the configuration is still shabby except for the necessary accessories to drive the car. The body, which is only two-thirds the size of a shrunken version of a bean, is filled with the wisdom of stealing chickens that is simply condensed into essence.

All I can say is that stealing to the extreme is an art.

The ridiculous lightweight design often makes people’s eyes go dark again and again, and the craftsmanship is even more incredible…

No, brother, you can steal this?!

A group of engineers scratched their heads and looked at each other, unable to understand at all. But how did you do it?
You know, everyone can cut corners. As long as you are cruel enough, you can paste the anti-collision beam and AB pillars with adhesive paper. Stealing is never the key, but the key is that you can steal while ensuring quality and quantity. It’s even more terrifying than the effect of piling up materials.

Apart from Yan Jian’s stingy design…

What’s even more terrifying is the craftsmanship!

boom!
In the destructive head-on collision, the entire tricycle flew up like a piece of paper, spun 3,600 degrees in the air, and fell to the ground, rolling all over the ground with fragments flying everywhere.

The back of the car was thrown out.

Unfortunately, the frame and chassis were only slightly deformed.

Even if you change a transmission, you can still drive…

What’s going on? What happened?
“Something’s wrong…”

Lao Deng, the member of the team who focuses on materials, touched the chassis of the car, smelled it, knocked it, and almost licked it and bit it. No, he really bit it.

This texture and taste are definitely from aluminum alloy and steel alloy!
But the problem is…

Can such outrageous compression and impact resistance data be achieved by such a thin layer of aluminum alloy pipe and that ridiculous steel frame?

What about physics?

Physics no longer exists?!

“Saw! Give me the saw!”

Lao Deng’s fever was already red, so he picked up the cutting saw and cut directly into his face without even wearing gloves or a mask. Sparks flew and landed on his hair, flickering and disappearing.

The other engineers who wanted to slowly caress the new tricycle didn’t even have time to stop him.

When the cutting saw swung past, there was a crisp clang and the chassis split into two. Apart from the sound of the cutting machine falling to the ground, there was only heavy breathing.

One after another, the crowds gathered inwards, people crowded together, shoulders against shoulders, and the old man was almost covered with big men, but everyone was staring at the scene at the fracture, unable to extricate themselves.

It is not a hollow tube as imagined, but instead contains densely packed bubbles, like a honeycomb, which are neatly arranged inside the hollow metal workpiece.

It was as if what was cut was not a chassis, but a chassis-shaped honeycomb!
“Metal foam?”

“No, it’s not that simple. The internal structure is too complicated.” The processing expert shook his head decisively: “Conventional foamed aluminum materials simply cannot form such a large inner cavity, and…”

He paused and sighed dryly: “It’s not that controllable.”

“What about secondary processing? The workpiece is made in advance, and then the foamed metal is injected…”

“Look carefully at the incision. Are there any marks? Moreover, let alone the second time, the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, how much effort and energy must it take to achieve this level? Can you calculate it yourself before you speak?”

“3D metal printing?” someone asked doubtfully.

“Don’t mention that 3D metal printing technology has not yet made such a breakthrough. Even if Coast has made a big move, have you considered the processing cost?!”

“So, how did you do it?”

“Get out of my way, get out of my way!”

For a moment, no one spoke in the dead silence.

He only looked at Lao Deng, who was the first to cut open the chassis, with resentment and asked, “Why are you so rude?”

Before it is cut open, there is only physics. After it is cut open, it is the turn of materials science and processing…

This is not metal foaming technology at all!

Conventional foamed aluminum is made by injecting chemical additives during processing to create a large number of pores inside the metal in order to increase heat resistance and reduce weight.

But are these two the same thing?

What kind of additives and processing techniques can produce such a uniform, dense and even angular complex structure?

Moreover, it is necessary to form a regular honeycomb-shaped hollow cavity naturally after shrinkage, and it is also the best structure for earthquake resistance, tension resistance and shear resistance…

You are so damn lucky. When lottery tickets are printed nowadays, there shouldn’t be numbers on them. Your name should be written directly on them.

More importantly, after production is completed, it must be processed. Once force is applied from the outside to distort the workpiece, this amazing stability will inevitably be destroyed, causing faults and distortions inside.

But it is extremely neat.

That is to say…

As everyone looked at each other, they came to a desperate conclusion.

No secondary processing at all!

It turns from material into a qualified workpiece. There is no other process from pouring to completion. This is one-time molding!
God, it’s formed in one go!
“stop looking.”

The smoking craftsman bent down, held the chassis fragment in his hand, turned it over and stared at it. Finally, he sighed: “This is the structure that is naturally formed by the solidification of dissolved metal.”

In fact, it is very simple to achieve this. Just find a ruin that can control metal, find an entropy system that guides thermal energy, or directly find a Tianyuan who is good at telekinesis. Control and interfere with the melted metal in the liquid stage, release the stress, and then shape it into such a complex structure.

Of course, there are easier ways…

——Why don’t you ask the magical fluid alchemy? ! Isn’t the only inheritor of the saintly mercury and the successor of fluid alchemy in the entire world sitting in the Coast Auto Factory, crossing his legs and admiring your faces?
Maybe I can even have two more bowls of rice!

Do you know what patent barriers are, huh?! Do you know what fluid alchemy is?!

The metal foam structure is just a basic technique developed to save time in the simulation. I have hundreds of related applications and techniques in my pocket!

At least hundreds of them!
After a few attempts, I was able to easily reproduce and replicate it on ordinary materials.

For other craftsmen who specialize in metallurgy and smelting, they must hold their breath and concentrate to achieve this effect, but for him, he can even use it for mass production…

This is the confidence that Fluid Alchemy gives me!
“Where’s the Association?!”

Another craftsman who reacted frowned, “Isn’t this considered disrupting the market?!”

The craftsman in front was silent for a moment, then turned around and looked at him like a fool: “I bet fifty dollars that Chaosheng has never registered the relevant technology and material patents.”

The Taiyi Ring has always severely punished craftsmen who disrupted the market and interfered with the normal operation of the world with alchemy. But the problem is that related cases have never stopped despite repeated bans.

After all, there are too many aspects involved, from production and processing to sales. The connection between the Chosen Ones and the real world is already intricate. If the scope is expanded, all registered craftsmen will have to go to the Judgment Hall one by one.

Besides, there are only so many craftsmen coming and going, and the production capacity is limited. Even if everyone worked desperately to produce cheap alchemical works every year to disrupt the market, how much disruption could they achieve?
Therefore, we can only draw a line to define the scope and then severely punish those who cross the line.

But…this bastard Ji Jue is still skirting the line!

Not to mention that metal foaming technology is not rare in the first place, whether ordinary aluminum alloys and steels are considered alchemical materials, how much is the proportion of fluid alchemy in them…

Even if you file a complaint with the association about such a thing, all that awaits you is a lengthy process of wrangling and a final warning.

After all, it’s not easy for everyone to make a living these days. Who wouldn’t apply some moisturizer if they want to be more moisturized?
If you dare to take the risk in this regard, believe it or not, your reputation will be so bad that it will stink for three miles in the association. From now on, if any craftsmen come to your side, you will be the winner!

Besides, don’t forget who were the people standing on Ji Jue’s left and right when the craftsman badge was awarded!

The one on the left smiling like a flower is the current president Delong, and the one on the right looking extremely serious is the next president Gustav who currently has the highest vote share and the greatest influence in the board of directors!
Once you submit this letter of complaint, you’re done for. See if the association responds or not.

The moment they figured it out, everyone present was already shaking with anger…

Brother, what do you want?

Just think about it, this kind of technology can be used to produce anything and make huge profits with no investment at all. Just relying on technology licensing, one can indulge in extravagance, gambling and whoring to the point where the money cannot be spent in the next lifetime.

The isolation layer of armor, the thermal insulation tiles of large airships and warships, the main material of light tanks… There are so many places where it can be used, so many that it makes people cry.

You can even go to the space agency and slap those guys in the face, and they will kneel on the ground, hug their thighs and cry, asking their dad to love them more.

But Ji Jue used it to build the chassis of a small tricycle!

Show off your skills as much as possible on ordinary things, and jump in the face of military-industrial enterprises!

He slapped his colleague on the face.

It’s just like pointing a finger at their face and telling them – ‘You can take their place’!
What’s even more horrifying is the price of this new tricycle…

If growing beans before required a lot of oil, effort and everything else, then growing peanuts saves oil, effort and everything, including money.

It’s cheap!
It’s so cheap!
In the major cities across Haizhou and in the newly opened stores on the coast, if you have a certificate from the Agricultural Support and Development Association, you can apply for agricultural equipment subsidies and get a discount on the wholesale price. The entire vehicle, including exquisite floor mats and two rags, only costs 3,600 federal coins!
Three thousand six!
Three thousand six, three thousand six is ​​not enough to even buy you a good bicycle!
But it doesn’t matter. If you come to my place today, I don’t want five thousand or four thousand. I only want three thousand six hundred. Take the peanut tricycle and just consider it as making friends.

And on this basis, it inherits the same modification freedom as the Doujiao tricycle. If you are not satisfied with the original slow-running broken engine, you can even go out and spend 800 yuan at any repair shop to replace and upgrade it, and enjoy the push-back feeling like a sports car… With this weight and speed, you can even ignore the slow urban management and traffic police and speed in front of them!

Let’s go to the Second Ring Road to have fun at night, kid!
Although the entry-level suspension and tires and the maximum load capacity of only about three tons have basically bid farewell to the market outside the city, don’t forget… there are poor guys in the city too!

The old farmer delivering vegetables in the suburbs, the courier boy, the vendors who illegally occupy the road, the complicated alleys that are impossible for cars to drive into, and the wasteland left over from garbage urban construction, who can not love such a small three-wheeled vehicle that is small, cheap, family-friendly, sturdy and durable?
Although the nature of this tool necessitates a slow replacement, and it is absolutely impossible to replace it unless it is broken, relying on the previous situation of beans, the initial sales of peanuts were actually quite good!
And it is still growing steadily…

Beans in one hand and peanuts in the other.

After breaking through the blockade that hindered production with beans, they gradually counterattacked from outside the city to the suburbs with peanuts…

Amid Yin Chaoyang’s futile blockade and interference, the Coast Automobile Factory began to flourish and grow wildly in this extremely low-end and bizarre track relying on its extreme cost-effectiveness and quality.

They have even started acquiring other tricycle factories!

Colleagues could not have imagined that when you restarted Coast and aimed at military industry, you would be the first to kill so many small three-wheeled workshops.

Taking advantage of this favorable situation, the Coast Automobile Factory, which had just completed maintenance, began to expand again. They struck while the iron was hot and frantically expanded their production capacity!
Fallen leaves brought news that on the other side of the sea island, in the dog grass cliff city, Ji Jue became the king of garbage men… Under the king’s rule, people would probably describe it like this – it was an era of small tricycles!

At the weekly morning meeting, looking at the employees and subordinates who had unknowingly filled up the entire large conference room, Factory Director Ji Jue made the following important instructions:

“Our business is booming!!!”

Tell me, who invented this wonderful thing called the tricycle?

Such a good thing must be created again, created more, and created in different ways!
Just like that, amidst the looks of everyone having lost hope in life, he announced the first plan to increase production capacity since taking office at Coast – to build tricycles, build more and more powerful tricycles, and build the best tricycles in the world!
Be bigger and stronger and create greater glory!
Regardless of how various parties reacted to the rapid development of the small three-wheeled vehicle market by the Coast Automobile Factory, Yin Chaoyang, who was secretly keeping an eye on the situation, finally wiped off his cold sweat after receiving the news.

It was a close call. I almost thought this kid was living a good life…

“Haha, you scare yourself.”

After experiencing Ji Jue’s outrageous actions twice, he was almost suffering from coastal PTSD.

The plan that he thought he had on hand actually collapsed repeatedly from the beginning, with all kinds of problems. When he met Ji Jue, a weird opponent who did not follow the routine at all and instead frantically manipulated his opponent’s three views, he never gained any advantage at all.

Holding an iron hedgehog in one hand and a steel toad in the other.

Unfortunately, the financier behind the scenes was a pressure-freak who only cared about the result and not the process, so he could only run back and forth exhausted. When the lawsuit for debt collection was delayed due to procedural issues, the secret acquisition of shares in Coast Group also began to run into obstacles frequently.

Now, seeing that Ji Jue was obsessed with the tricycle and even gradually eliminated and abandoned the original production line, and was concentrating on becoming bigger and stronger in this field, he actually felt relieved.

No matter how many small tricycles are built, they are still small tricycles, a small-scale operation that cannot make a big difference. No matter how big the industry is, it will ultimately still be picking up garbage in the mud that the big guys disdain.

It is too outrageous and unrealistic to expect to be able to overtake in such a remote corner.

Even so, Yin Chaoyang still did not relax his vigilance at all. Instead, he tried his best to run back and forth, blocking the supply of many large equipment through echo channels and private transactions. Even if the new integrated die-casting equipment had arrived at the port a long time ago, it could not be delivered to Yacheng without obtaining customs documents.

Ji Jue seemed to have given up the idea in this regard and focused on deepening his research in the small three-wheel track.

For a moment, the entire Yacheng seemed peaceful and tranquil.

It’s a pity that there is no pause button in this world.

Time still moves forward.

On November 11, the military announced that the bidding for the new armor would be held three months ahead of schedule; on December 29, the chairman of the Federal Military Affairs Coordination Committee was hospitalized due to an acute illness; on December 12, more details of the explosion at Midtown Airport were revealed; on December 4, the Dongcheng Shipyard under Echo Science and Technology was sued for infringement by Nanhuang Industry, claiming a total of 12 billion federal coins…

There are constant storms and waves.

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly bizarre and the struggle was becoming increasingly stalemate.

At 12:12 in the morning of December , the official website homepage of the Coast Automobile Factory, which had been forgotten for more than a decade, was updated again without any warning, and news was released, launching the first fully self-developed and self-produced family car after resuming work – [Cucumber]!
On the same day, at two o’clock in the morning, Yin Chaoyang, who had just closed his eyes, made another sharp explosion.
