96: Can the Totoro car be pulled? Yes, but only a little bit!

"That's good," Lu Shenwei nodded and said.

Sales of the longmao agricultural vehicle were on the right track; as long as they recalled the problematic vehicles, accumulated sales, and saved up 10 billion, they could exchange it for the Artificial Sun.

Unfortunately, the ideal was plump, but the reality was skeletal.

Someone, a car owner, posted publicly and leaked the news that the dragon cat agricultural vehicle could block speed radar, causing an explosion on the car owner forum.

[I'm crying, I'm such an honest person, I actually returned the small car for an upgrade.]

[Caught an honest person here. Don't even think about getting it back; the newly manufactured small cars don't have the radar blocking function.]

[I heard it's because they scraped off the paint; Julong Steel's anti-rust paint is the key to blocking radar signals.]

[Good thing I didn't return my small car; I knew Julong Steel had bad intentions.]

[It's not necessarily bad intentions; after all, they have to consider the Patrol Police's law enforcement. Isn't your agricultural vehicle blocking speed radar just asking for trouble?]

[Hearing you guys say that, I definitely can't return the car.]

The forum posts continued to ferment, eventually attracting the attention of Julong Steel.

Wang Zizhong immediately contacted the Qinchuan Internet Information Office, and half an hour later, the posts involving the longmao small car's radar protection were banned.

Lu Shenwei also contacted major car review media to issue a refutation statement, saying that the longmao small car did not have the function to block speed radar.

But it was an obvious cover-up; the car owners didn't believe a word of it.

Originally, the radar blocking incident would have ended there, but a traffic interview program pushed the longmao small car back into the limelight.

In the center of Qinchuan City, at the circular overpass intersection.

Patrol Police Tan had a law enforcement camera pinned to his chest, looking for violators coming and going, correcting the illegal behavior of passing vehicles.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a longmao agricultural vehicle flew past Patrol Police Tan, but the speed radar by the road showed nothing.

"Is the speed radar broken?"

Patrol Police Tan muttered to the camera, and the fans in the live broadcast room immediately perked up.

[The small car that just passed must have been going at 120, right? The city speed limit is 60.]

[Is the speed radar broken?]

[Hilarious, wasn't that car the recently viral dragon cat?]

[I heard before that the longmao small car could block speed radar; today I've seen it with my own eyes.]

[It's a live broadcast; it's a slap in the face to Julong Steel's official announcement.]

[Officer Tan is dumbfounded; he's never seen a car that blocks speed radar.]

Patrol Police Tan rode his motorcycle in pursuit, and after passing three intersections, he intercepted the longmao small car.

"Sir, where are you going? You're going so fast!" Patrol Police Tan asked while showing his ID.

The old man stopped, tapped the jar-shaped hat on his head, and replied, "Hello, Patrol Police."

Patrol Police Tan pointed to the non-motorized vehicle lane: "Where are you supposed to be driving?"

"To Erxian Bridge," the old man answered honestly.

"What 'to Erxian Bridge'? I'm asking you which lane you're supposed to be in!" Patrol Police Tan said sternly.

[I'm dying of laughter, 'to Erxian Bridge'.]

[The old man answered looking confused, and Patrol Police Tan listened looking confused.]

"Take Chenghua Avenue," the old man said blankly.

Patrol Police Tan got anxious: "What Chenghua Avenue? Can this vehicle of yours carry a load?"

"It can carry, the longmao cargo bed is small, it can only carry a little bit." The old man pointed to the cargo bed.

[Take Chenghua Avenue, holy crap! Sir, your comprehension is awesome!]

[To get to Erxian Bridge, taking Chenghua Avenue is not wrong!]

[The old man is right; I support him.]

"I'm asking if it's allowed to carry a load!" Patrol Police Tan pointed to the overloaded cargo bed and asked.

The load capacity is 700 kilograms, but this old man was carrying at least 2 tons.

The old man emphasized: "It can carry, but it can only carry a little bit."

[Patrol Police Tan is about to explode; this old man's 'understanding' is enterprise-level.]

[Officer Tan has such patience; I would have exploded long ago.]

"Sir, let's straighten this out. I asked you where you are supposed to go."

"To Erxian Bridge."

"No, I'm asking you which lane you are supposed to be in."

"Take Chenghua Avenue."

"You've got me confused. I'm talking about your vehicle."

"Agricultural vehicle."

"I know it's an agricultural vehicle, but you are speeding and you are in the non-motorized vehicle lane."

[Officer Tan has been completely confused.]

[Hilarious, now everyone knows that to go to Erxian Bridge you have to take Chenghua Avenue, and the longmao small car can only carry a little bit.]

[@Julong Steel, come out and take your beating. How does your small car block the radar speed gun?]

By the time Lu Shenwei saw the video online, a week had already passed.

"I knew it, that's why the recall speed dropped significantly; it turns out Officer Tan's video fueled the fire," Lu Shenwei muttered.

Wang Zizhong whispered a reminder: "Chairman, the Patrol Police Bureau has sent a letter requesting us to explain the situation."

"There are also quite a few people online stirring up trouble, saying that Julong Steel did this for the sake of sales," Zhou Cun added.

Because of the incident, the recall speed of the longmao agricultural vehicle dropped significantly. Originally, they planned to complete the rectification of all sold small cars in two months, but now it had to be extended to three months, or even four months.

"Plans can't keep up with changes. Have you identified the person who posted?"

"They are intentionally trying to make things difficult for us; how could it be possible to find them?"

"Never mind, take it slow. Uncle Ma, you should pay an official visit to the Patrol Police Bureau and tell them the situation truthfully," Lu Shenwei arranged.

Ma Quanlin went to report the situation to the Patrol Police Bureau, Zhou Cun went to seek help from his uncle, and Wang Zizhong continued to increase the recall efforts.

They even offered a 2,000 yuan subsidy if the car owners were willing to return the vehicles.

In the District Chief's live broadcast room.

[Do I care about that 2,000 yuan? What we want is the unlimited speed highway from the Hans Cat's place.]

[The longmao small car is awesome; now, except for interval speed measurement, the Patrol Police Bureau has no way to deal with the longmao small car with any other speed measurement methods.]

"If the vast number of car owners still want to see the new generation of longmao small cars, it's best to return the old models for an upgrade," the District Chief advised.

"If Julong Steel gets into trouble because of this, they definitely won't release any new models next year."

[The District Chief says it nicely, but have you returned your own small car?]

[The District Chief occupied the moral high ground, trying to fire downwards, only to find he was still halfway up the mountain.]

Although various car review media were helping to speak up, the recall progress of the longmao small car remained slow.

"Chairman, there are still more than 10,000 longmao small cars that haven't been returned," Wang Zizhong said.

Lu Shenwei pondered: "Use the VIN to lock onto the owners and have the Patrol Police Bureau contact them."

He didn't want to bother the Patrol Police Bureau either, but at this point, there was no better way.

"I'll go to the Patrol Police Bureau one more time and first get back all the vehicles sold in the countryside," Wang Zizhong said sternly.

Lu Shenwei nodded helplessly, and Ma Quanlin suddenly entered the room.

"Chairman, there is progress on the attack drones. Should we inform the higher-ups and let them come and take a look first?"

"Have you trial-produced them?"

"We trial-produced twenty units; how about you take a look first?"

Lu Shenwei nodded. Recently, he had only been focusing on the longmao small car recall and had almost forgotten about the swarm attack drones.

Half an hour later, after Lu Shenwei watched the swarm drone demonstration, he dialed the phone number of Chen Guang from the Western Theater Command.
