8: Chapter 8: Is this technology really feasible?

Actor Wu Jing's shock was in no way inferior to Director Guo Fan's.

He looked at the behemoth before him, his eyes sparkling with light.

Xu Hao took in the expressions on both of their faces and continued to introduce it to them:

"The Giant Transport Vehicle is also called the Doomsday Vehicle!"

Xu Hao did not notice this detail. Instead, he walked directly to the side of the vehicle and gave them a brief introduction.

"The entire vehicle is 10 meters high and 50 meters long, with a maximum load capacity of up to 3,000 tons. The whole vehicle is built using 08Ni3DR and B-HARD500 composite materials, capable of withstanding low-temperature impacts of -100 degrees Celsius and absorbing 60J of impact energy. The cargo bed is exposed, requiring no low-temperature protection."

"The Doomsday Vehicle uses a dual-wheel set design, with ten sets of dual wheels, totaling twenty wheels."

"The wheel sets use a suspension system, all-wheel drive, and all-wheel steering, allowing it to drive normally on both roads and off-road."

"The interior features a constant-temperature cabin, keeping the cockpit at room temperature."

"The Doomsday Vehicle is equipped with an automatic tracking mode. In situations requiring high transport efficiency, a mother-child vehicle system can be used, with the mother vehicle leading the tracking and multiple child vehicles connected behind to perform group transport, thereby improving efficiency."

As Xu Hao introduced the parameters and performance of the Doomsday Vehicle one by one, the two were already completely stunned!

They widened their eyes, looking at the giant object in front of them in disbelief.

Especially Actor Wu Jing, whose heart had already surged with monstrous waves; he could no longer hide his inner excitement.

The slight feeling of lack of expectation in his heart earlier had now been completely overshadowed by shock.

Shock! Nothing but shock!

To think that they had actually built the prop model of the Giant Transport Vehicle in a one-to-one scale!

The two were uncontrollably excited, circling the Giant Transport Vehicle, looking back and forth. The smiles on their faces never stopped.

Seeing their reaction, Xu Hao was somewhat indifferent. Although the model of the Giant Transport Vehicle had been built, many details inside had not yet been fully perfected.

"Director Guo, although this Giant Transport Vehicle has been built, forgive me for being blunt, but some of its functions are not yet complete, and this may still take some time."

The Giant Transport Vehicle is not just a vehicle. In the sci-fi world, the environment is extremely harsh, almost equivalent to a doomsday world. Therefore, based on the blueprints provided by the system, Xu Hao strived to perfect as many functions as possible.

"What? This vehicle still has functions? Isn't it just a prop model?!?"

Director Guo Fan was about to reach out and touch the Giant Transport Vehicle when he suddenly heard Xu Hao's words; he immediately turned his head and looked at him, his face full of astonishment.

He looked as if he had heard something incredible. It was just a movie prop—how could it have functions?

Could it be turning on the lights or honking the horn? That's right... those count as functions too.

But aren't these simple functions easy to implement? Why did Chairman Xu say it would still take some time?

Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, Actor Wu Jing was slightly shocked at first, then returned to his normal state. Having acted in various TV dramas and movies, he naturally knew that the functions mentioned for a prop were undoubtedly just some very simple special effects.

Therefore, he didn't take the incomplete functions mentioned by Xu Hao to heart at all. For him, the fact that the ore transport vehicle could be restored one-to-one, and built so meticulously, imposingly, and fiercely, was already very good. And this also slightly changed Actor Wu Jing's impression of Xu's Heavy Industry.

"After all, it is a transport vehicle from a sci-fi movie; in a doomsday world, some functions are the most basic requirements, right?" Xu Hao replied, not understanding the confusion.

"For example, with the The Wandering Earth, a drop in temperature is inevitable, so the transport vehicle's cockpit needs a constant-temperature room, and it needs nuclear-powered insulated suits that can maintain body temperature..."

"The transport vehicle is transporting ore in rugged, treacherous terrain, so it should be drop-proof, collision-proof, and impact-resistant, and it needs to be able to turn and U-turn freely at 360 degrees..."

"Also, when the blue star is exiled, extraterrestrial meteorites are inevitable. If they accidentally hit the ground, it would cause significant losses. Therefore, the transport vehicle should at least have some long-range strike and near-earth defense capabilities..."

"And..." "Wait, wait, wait... hold on!!!"

Director Guo Fan walked from in front of the Giant Transport Vehicle to Xu Hao, interrupting his explanation, and looked at him in disbelief.

"Chairman Xu, let's be clear, this is a movie prop, not a real vehicle manufacturing project. You... you also know that I only have 10 million in prop investment funds."

He just wanted movie props for 'The Wandering Earth', so why does Chairman Xu seem to be playing for real now?

What constant-temperature room, 360-degree steering, long-range strikes, and near-earth defense... Is this making a movie prop or building a Doomsday Vehicle?

"That's right, this is a prop, isn't it?" Xu Hao looked at Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing, puzzled and full of question marks.

"Movie props for a sci-fi film should have some basic functions, that's just standard, right... isn't it?" Xu Hao looked at Director Guo Fan, then at Actor Wu Jing. That expression looked innocent yet somewhat matter-of-fact.

Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing looked at each other and were instantly stunned! The direction of things seemed to have far exceeded the scope of what they could imagine. But why did it look like it was actually pretty good...

Director Guo Fan couldn't help but think that when he first signed the cooperation agreement with Xu Hao, he only wanted a transport vehicle that looked domineering and cool.

But now, looking at that Giant Transport Vehicle in the workshop—three stories high, dozens of meters long, with a cool, fierce, and domineering exterior—and listening to the various functions Xu Hao was going to perfect for it, he was simultaneously incredulous, ecstatic, and extremely excited.

Such a Giant Transport Vehicle is clearly not a movie prop; it is simply a real Doomsday Vehicle!!

Actor Wu Jing gasped, looking at Xu Hao, not knowing what to say for a moment. Who could tell him that Xu's Heavy Industry Group was not a company with poor management that was on the verge of bankruptcy?

Why had they managed to create a Doomsday Vehicle now? Is this something a company on the verge of bankruptcy could do?

Was his experience too limited, or did he have some misunderstanding about what "on the verge of bankruptcy" meant? For a moment, he found it hard to understand the young man in front of him...

Excitement was one thing, but Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing were, one a director with a wealth of knowledge, and the other a well-known actor who had been in the film industry for many years. Therefore, after the shock, they quickly calmed down.

The functions Xu Hao mentioned were indeed very tempting. What man wouldn't want to see such a Doomsday Vehicle?

However, thinking about it is one thing, but whether it can actually be realized is another matter entirely. Therefore, they had to face a very realistic question: were these things Xu Hao mentioned just empty, grandiose fantasies, or were they real goals he intended to achieve?

With these doubts and curiosity, Director Guo Fan and Actor Wu Jing came to Xu Hao's side. "Chairman Xu, can those Black Technology features you just mentioned really be realized?" Director Guo Fan asked.
