11: Chapter 11 is a bit of a shame!

"Here, do you see the steering wheel in your hands?"

Xu Hao lifted his head and pointed at the spherical steering wheel that Director Guo Fan was pressing his palms against.

"Steering wheel?" Director Guo Fan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the steering wheel in his hands.

It was strange, to say the least.

Usually, car steering wheels are round, but the steering wheel of this Doomsday Vehicle was actually spherical.

Director Guo Fan did not know the reason why Xu Hao had designed it this way.

Taking this opportunity, he asked directly.

"Speaking of this steering wheel, Chairman Xu, why was it designed to be spherical?"

Actor Wu Jing, who was on the side, was also very curious; he turned his head and waited for Xu Hao's explanation.

"This is the new feature I wanted to talk about."

Xu Hao pressed a button under the edge of the bed.

In an instant, the flat bed began to flip over, transforming into a soft sofa.

This scene made Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing, who were sitting in the front, widen their eyes again.

It could even do that?

Xu Hao did not pay attention to the surprise in their eyes and continued:

"Before I start talking about the functions of the spherical steering wheel, let me first explain why I designed the steering wheel to be spherical."

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Hao leaned forward so that the two could hear his voice more clearly.

"As everyone knows, the steering wheels of all the cars we see daily are round. You haven't seen a spherical one before, right?"

Xu Hao looked at the two. Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing met his gaze and shook their heads repeatedly.

It was not because they were inexperienced, but because there were indeed no cars with spherical steering wheels on the market at present.

This was their first time seeing one.

"For heavy-duty trucks, the vehicle body is large and the load is high. Therefore, this leads to a fatal flaw in round steering wheels:"

"When a driver turns left or right, they often need to turn it three or more times to get the front wheels to rotate to a certain direction. Furthermore, the angle of this direction is still very small."

"So much so that you can see, when heavy-duty trucks are turning, the driver's hands are frantically spinning the steering wheel, at a speed that is simply like a blur. If the speed is a little slow, it's hard to steer."

Xu Hao gestured with both hands, mimicking it quite well.

Director Guo Fan nodded, recalling that when he saw heavy-duty truck drivers turning, it was indeed like that.

"That's right, turning a heavy-duty truck is too difficult." Actor Wu Jing nodded with deep understanding.

He had starred in many action and military films and often drove heavy-duty trucks, so he had the right to speak on this.

"Therefore, I boldly designed and developed the spherical steering wheel, which effectively solved this problem," Xu Hao said with a smile.

"The spherical steering wheel belongs to three-dimensional directional control; horizontal rotation can make the front wheel set steer left and right. Rotating it forward and backward allows the entire wheel set to steer freely."

"Furthermore, it does not require large-scale rotation of the steering wheel to achieve wheel set steering, and it can precisely control the angle of the wheel set steering."

"The intelligent system combined with the spherical steering wheel not only allows people without specialized training to drive the Doomsday Vehicle, but also allows older drivers to drive easily, effectively reducing physical burden and enabling long-distance driving."

As Xu Hao spoke, Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing were deep in thought.

After thinking for a while, their eyes lit up slightly, and they nodded in unison.

"Alright, the principle has been explained to you. How about... experiencing it?" Xu Hao looked at Director Guo Fan and then at Actor Wu Jing with a knowing smile.

"Bring it on!!"

Having heard Xu Hao say so much, Director Guo Fan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, could hardly wait.

Having described the spherical steering wheel as being so amazing, he really wanted to see it for himself.

Regarding Xu Hao's proposal, Actor Wu Jing naturally gave his full support.

"Good, listen to my commands, you operate it!" Xu Hao nodded and began to give orders, "Use force with both hands and press down on the steering wheel!"

Upon hearing this, Director Guo Fan did not hesitate; he used force with both palms simultaneously and pressed down on the spherical steering wheel.

Sensing the pressure, the spherical steering wheel sank slightly.

Immediately after, the entire spherical steering wheel became transparent.

Inside the transparent spherical steering wheel, there was a compass, and next to it were various parameters: driver's health index, real-time indoor and outdoor temperature, driving speed, etc...

"Step on the gas, accelerate!!" Xu Hao continued.

"Boom!"

The engine let out a roar, and the Doomsday Vehicle rushed out of the factory area at a very fast speed, arriving at the vast test track outside Xu's Heavy Industry.

"Have you ever driven a race car?" For some reason, Xu Hao suddenly asked Director Guo Fan.

"Huh?" Director Guo Fan was completely focused on driving and seemed a bit confused, "Uh... no, why?"

"Now you have!" Xu Hao smiled and then continued, "Keep stepping on the gas, accelerate!"

Director Guo Fan snapped back to reality, kept his foot on the gas, and continued to accelerate. The numbers on the dashboard soared rapidly at an astonishing speed.

"Lightly press the wheel and rotate it horizontally to the left!!" Seeing a turn ahead, Xu Hao immediately said, "Do you see that right-angle turn ahead? Drift through it!!"

The massive Doomsday Vehicle sped across the test track, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Just as it was about to hit the turn made of discarded tires ahead.

The front wheel set of the Doomsday Vehicle turned rapidly, and with a ninety-degree drift and a fierce tail swing, it perfectly passed through the turn.

Leaving a hundred-meter-long tire mark on the road, the dust kicked up into the sky lingered in the air for a long time.

Director Guo Fan, in the driver's seat, had long been scared into a cold sweat by the scene just now, still feeling a lingering fear, and was panting heavily.

"Too... too exciting!" The Doomsday Vehicle was still driving on the straight road, but the gas pedal under Director Guo Fan's foot had not been released.

Actor Wu Jing, sitting in the passenger seat, held the handle tightly with his right hand and gripped the seat beneath him hard with his left hand.

The veins on his neck were protruding, and he looked shaken.

"I finally know what it feels like to ride in a race car..."

After the speed of the Doomsday Vehicle gradually stabilized, Actor Wu Jing let out a long breath and said with lingering fear.

He had driven combat vehicles, but he had never seen a heavy-duty combat vehicle that could travel so fast and drift at such high speeds.

Is this damn thing still a heavy transport vehicle? Its speed and flexibility are even more exaggerated than professional race cars.

Just now, he saw with his own eyes the Doomsday Vehicle's speed soar to nearly 300 kilometers per hour; it was simply terrifying.

That wasn't even the worst part; it actually performed a ninety-degree drift and tail-swing turn.

The massive vehicle didn't even tip over or suffer any damage to its parts?

If this were any other vehicle, it would have been totaled long ago!!

Director Guo Fan slowly slowed the vehicle down and drove the Doomsday Vehicle back to the factory area.

Watching the two of them looking satisfied, Xu Hao lay back on the sofa behind him.

"Sigh, there was too little time. Otherwise, I originally planned to add a gravity sensing device and physical stealth coating."

Xu Hao sighed slightly, looking a bit regretful.
