"This ...... This...... How is that possible?"

"What's impossible?" asked the man who spoke with a grim face.

"Yes, of course...... ...... of course."

"Of course" for a long time, the group of the "family visiting group" looked depressed, and their shoulders collapsed: This is the gap between us and the world's most advanced countries, although I am very reluctant to admit it, but the gap is here, and it is not something that you can make up if you don't admit it.

Although these two people had lowered their voices when they spoke, everyone stood together, even if they lowered their voices, others could hear it, and the atmosphere of the "family visiting group" was no longer as relaxed as before, replaced by the solemnity and helplessness of the Iron Curtain: I know that there is a gap between us and the Americans, but who would have thought that the gap is so big?!

It seems that his words hit everyone a little hard, this is not what Chen Geng wants, Chen Geng's tone changed, or comforted everyone: "But this data is a high-performance version tuned specifically for participating in the competition, in exchange for sacrificing the reliability and life of the engine, if we have the opportunity to mass produce this engine in the future, for the sake of reliability and service life, the output of this engine is between 200 and 220 horsepower." ”

Chen Geng is kind-hearted, but the comforting effect of these words is almost zero: the maximum power of our mass-produced 2.2-liter engine is 90 horsepower, and your mass-produced 2.3-liter engine is 200 to 220 horsepower, are you sure you are really here to comfort us?

An ordinary car modification factory in the United States has such a strong technical strength, so what about the strength of the three major American automobile giants, Ford Motor, General Motors, and Chrysler Motors?

When I think of the gap between Huaxia and a car modification factory in the United States is so big, the "family visiting group" is no longer a matter of frustration and discouragement, but almost despair: the gap is so big, how to make up for it?

Oops, it seems that I have done something bad with good intentions?

Seeing the reaction of the "family visiting group" like a plague chicken, Chen Geng realized that the stimulation he gave seemed to be a little too much.

That's not going to work.

With a roll of his eyes, Chen Geng suddenly smiled and said, "Everyone, you don't think that in the United States, you can have the technical strength of any car modification factory that comes out, right?"

"Hmm, isn't it?" Ding Haijun, who had long been shocked by the strength shown by Fernandez's company, had already thrown his suspicions to Java, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said.

"Of course not, how is this possible?" Chen Geng spread his hands and said helplessly: "I don't know why you have such an idea, even the most conservative estimates, there are more than 10,000 companies specializing in car modification in the United States, and the number of repair shops that are also engaged in car modification is impossible to count, but among the modification factories, those who are qualified to cooperate with an automobile main engine factory, the number of fingers will definitely not exceed 10." ”

Chen Geng said this with great confidence, because there are indeed not ten car modification companies in the United States that are qualified to cooperate with the three major OEMs.

If Fernandez is one of the ten strongest car tuning companies in the United States, then all this is normal, and it is normal for them to be strong in technology and strength.

Someone hurriedly asked, "Ah, Mr. Chen Geng, is this really the case?"

"Of course, these are all public information, you can find it," Chen Geng nodded and said: "Although our Fernandez company does not cooperate with the three major automobile giants in the United States, the engines of Honda motorcycles are also second to none in the world, and you will not deny this, right? Our cooperation with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. itself proves that we have actually stood at the top of the American automobile modification industry." ”

That's right!

Although you haven't used Honda's cars much, you don't know how Honda's cars are, but Honda's motorcycles know a little, Honda's motorcycles have always been known for their reliability, it is said that their Honda CB750 has been in short supply since the beginning of the market, and even has a "CB that can't be driven".

But as an elite in the field of the Republic's diplomacy, the "family visiting group" is not so easy to fool, and someone immediately asked: "But Mr. Chen, what does this V12 engine of yours have to do with Honda's motorcycle?"

"Because our V12 engine is based on the 1043cc inline six-cylinder engine on Honda's CBX1000 motorcycle, you can think that our V12 engine is made of two CBX1000 motorcycle engines," Chen Geng smiled and pointed to a Honda CBX1000 motorcycle parked in the workshop: "Oh, that's the car." ”

This V12 engine of Fernandez is made from the engines of two motorcycles?!

Everyone had already noticed the huge motorcycle parked in the workshop, but when they saw it, they didn't think much about it before, and subconsciously thought that this motorcycle might be an employee, but now listening to the meaning of Chen Geng's words, dare to love that this motorcycle is a "sample" specially placed here? The engine on it turned out to be the prototype of their V12 engine?

The "family visiting group" couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly came to the motorcycle to take a closer look.

The six exhaust pipes inserted in the wide engine that even exceeds the handlebars and the dense air-cooled heat dissipation fins on the cylinder prove to everyone that this is indeed an inline six-cylinder gasoline engine, and the "CBX1000" decal on the side cover proves that the displacement of this engine is really a motorcycle with a total upgrade.

"This ...... I don't know much about technology, but how difficult is it to combine two engines into one?" Ding Haijun asked Chen Geng cautiously but impatiently.

As a liberal arts student, after reading the report that the V8 engine of the Hongqi CA72 sedan is made up of two inline four-cylinder engines, he really thinks that it is not difficult to use two straight four or straight six engines to build a V8 and V12 engine: just look at the structure, the two sides can share the same cylinder, piston, connecting rod and valve assembly, it is nothing more than redesigning a crankshaft, it seems that there is nothing difficult.

"Even in the former world, car tuners who had the ability to piece together two engines into one engine while still maintaining increased performance, reliability and stability, I would not say no more than one slap, but definitely not more than two slaps. Chen Geng's expression was extremely proud.

"Is there really such a god?" Ding Haijun was a little unconvinced.

"Let's not talk about anything else, first of all, you solve the problem of exhaust interference for me first, and then talk about ......"

"Let me interrupt, what is cylinder interference?" When asking this question, Ding Haijun felt that his face burned badly: he thought that this matter was very simple, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Chen Geng was not annoyed, but patiently explained: "How to say the problem of exhaust interference, well, theoretically, any engine with more than three cylinders has a certain exhaust interference problem, the more cylinders there are, the more serious the exhaust interference situation is......

To be more specific, when an engine with multiple cylinders starts to do work, the exhaust pressure wave of cylinder A will affect the exhaust of cylinder B, and when the exhaust valve of cylinder B is opened, the pressure wave of cylinder A exhaust comes to the back of the exhaust valve, resulting in poor exhaust of cylinder B, and the exhaust is not smooth, which affects the performance of the engine. You understand that, right?"

"Well, understood. Ding Haijun nodded, Chen Geng explained very straightforwardly, of course he could understand: "Can it be understood in this way: the smaller the number of cylinders in an engine, the less interference occurs when exhausting, and the more cylinders, the more serious the exhaust interference between each cylinder?"

"That's right. ”

"That'...... This problem is not very manly to solve," Ding Haijun said strangely: "Just like this Honda motorcycle, can't you just connect an exhaust pipe to each cylinder?"

"This is a solution," Chen Geng said with a smile, adding an exhaust pipe to each cylinder is the simplest and most effective way to solve the problem of exhaust interference: "But have you considered the weight, cost and aesthetics of such a set of exhaust?"

"Huh?"

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about it, a car with a V12 engine, with 12 exhaust pipes lined up behind the buttocks, what kind of scene do you say?" Chen Geng wanted to laugh when he thought of a luxury car equipped with a V12 engine and exhaust pipes between the two wheels in the back.

Chen Geng just wanted to laugh, but the members of the "family visiting group" burst into laughter - it was really ...... to think of the picture of 12 exhaust pipes lined up behind the butt of a car Spicy eyes.

Comrade Lao Ding's face suddenly turned into a monkey's ass.

"So although this method is feasible, no one does it in the actual operation process, right?" Chen Geng smiled and spread his hands: "So in the world operation, it is generally through the optimization of timing and exhaust system to minimize the problem of exhaust interference, and the reason why Honda Motor Co., Ltd. took the initiative to come to us for cooperation is because I designed this set of exhaust interference solutions."

I'm not going to say that in the world, I wouldn't dare to say that I could solve the problem of engine exhaust interference completely, but I was definitely the one who solved the problem the best...... The least is also one of them. ”

For any company that can independently develop engines, exhaust interference is a problem that they cannot avoid and must solve, if Chen Geng did not show his ability to solve the exhaust interference problem, how could Honda Motor Co., Ltd. be so excited?
