"How could it burst the cylinder?" asked Guo Ping urgently.

"It's unclear why. Duan Rong, one of the designers, said, "An investigation is underway." ”

The engine "burst" should be called "cylinder" to be precise, which means that the piston of the automobile engine and the cylinder barrel are hugged together and cannot be moved. This can cause the engine to be scrapped, or it may emit thick flames.

"Hurry up and find out!" Guo Ping immediately summoned people to investigate the cause of the FK-30 engine burst.

A few hours later, the FK-30 engine research team held an emergency meeting to discuss the cause of the engine blowout.

"After investigating, we found out that there was a problem with the cylinder block of the engine. There may be collapse and rupture. Duan Rong said.

"It can't be a problem with the cylinder!" one person immediately retorted, "I have checked, and there is no problem with the cylinder!"

Everyone looked at him, and this was the designer responsible for designing the FK-30 engine block, Buck Green.

This is a Frenchman who had previously been an engine designer for the British Rover cars. Rover Motors has a long history, founded in 1877, and has built many high-performance automobile engines. After a bumpy ride, Rover Motors was eventually acquired by a subgroup of SAIC.

Buck Green also came to SAIC and became an engine designer. Because he is experienced and belongs to the technical authority, ordinary designers do not dare to refute him at all, and even the chief engineer Guo Ping has to pay attention to his opinion.

"The cylinder explosion did happen, it can't be a cylinder explosion for no reason, we must find out the problem!" Guo Ping said solemnly.

Duan Rong looked at Buck Green, and he said again: "When I checked it, I found that the engine block was indeed cracked. ”

Hearing this, Buck Green was quite angry, Duan Rong meant, there was a problem with the engine block he designed?

Seeing some designers casting questioning glances at him, Buck Green immediately said: "I repeat, the cylinder block I designed has been repeatedly verified, and there is absolutely no problem!"

"I also saw the inspection report, and I think it's not the cylinder block that is wrong, it's the crankshaft!"

"How could the crankshaft?" Guo Ping disagreed, "The quality of the crankshaft this time is very good, and it was ordered from Bluestar Automobile." ”

"It's the crankshaft!" Buck Green insisted that the crankshaft was wrong, and he said: "When the engine cylinder mixture is burned, the explosive force and pressure will impact the piston, and the crankshaft needs to convert the combustion work into effective work, and the torque output into the piston side thrust." The piston side thrust rubs against the cylinder block, which is unavoidable. ”

"In general, there is lubricating oil and a wear-resistant coating to prevent the cylinder block from being worn. But if there is a problem with the design of the crankshaft, the output torque is too high. The piston will rub too quickly and the cylinder will produce high temperatures. There is already a flammable mixture in the cylinder, and there will be a shock explosion in the engine, causing the piston to lock up, and the gas chamber to burst the cylinder - in summary, there is a problem with the design of the crankshaft. You're using a substandard supplier!"

Buck Green's words were reasonable, and made everyone fall into thought, could it really be that there was something wrong with the crankshaft?

One said: "I knew that the Blue Star car was unreliable. This crankshaft won't work!"

"You can't jump to conclusions. Guo Ping was still very puzzled in his heart, he always felt that this explanation was still a little short of the truth about the engine burst.

"You can check again. The more Buck Green spoke, the more confident he became, "The engine burst was entirely due to the substandard design of Bluestar Motors' spare parts." I suggest that they be held accountable or replaced with a new supplier, and that the future of the FK-30 engine be handed over to a car company that has only been established for two months, which is really nonsense!"

"Yes, you should ask them about it!" other designers agreed.

Buck Green, a veteran engine designer, must be right when he says that, and everyone believes in the former Rover designer.

Guo Ping, Duan Rong and others checked several times, but there was still no major discovery, and they could only blame the cause of the cylinder explosion on the reason that Buck Green said.

"What? There is a problem with the crankshaft we designed, and it is unqualified, causing your engine to burst?" Hearing Duan Rong's call, Guan Yang didn't believe it at all, and he immediately retorted: "This is impossible, I have personally checked every link of the crankshaft from design to manufacturing, and there will be absolutely no problem!"

"Old Duan, you're not lying to me, are you? Your engine burst must be for something else!"

"The research team has already concluded that there is a problem with your crankshaft design. Duan Rong said.

"No, no, no, we can't carry this pot casually!" Guan Yang still denied that if it was really their design problem, according to the contract, Bluestar Automobile would compensate SAIC for certain losses.

Money is still a small thing, and the most important thing is fame!

Think about it, the first product manufactured by Bluestar Automobile has a quality problem, if this is spread, how will this company be opened in the future? No one will use the products they make with confidence.

"Our designer, Buck Green, has written it clearly in the failure analysis report, and I will send it to you later. Duan Rong sighed and said, "Lao Guan, I don't want to see this kind of thing happen. But the engine problem is not a trivial matter, we have invested more than a billion yuan in this project, this responsibility is too heavy, and it must be investigated clearly. ”

Guan Yang's brows were twisted into the word "Chuan" again, and he said: "I want to read the failure analysis report carefully, and I will reply to you as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, preferably within three days. Because of this, the people above all lost their temper. They're thinking about holding your company accountable. ”

hung up the phone, Guan Yang immediately reported the matter to Meng Xiaobai.

"Is there a problem with our crankshaft?" Meng Xiaobai's first reaction was disbelief, "Is it true? Is it a design or quality problem?"

"They say it's a design problem. Guan Yang said, "The improper design caused excessive friction between the piston and the engine wall, and the combustible mixed gas hit the cylinder block and burst the cylinder." ”

"Design?" Meng Xiaobai was very puzzled, this was designed by Jin Mu, could it be that his design would also be wrong?

"Where's the failure analysis book? Meng Xiaobai asked him to take the fault analysis book to watch, and he could fully understand the relevant knowledge after studying these days.

"I've seen it, maybe, is that really the case?" Guan Yang's words were a little apprehensive, and the British designer named Buck Green wrote it in an orderly manner, as if it was really their crankshaft design that was problematic.

Meng Xiaobai didn't speak, he looked at the fault analysis book carefully, and soon, he slapped the fault analysis book on the desk, and said dissatisfiedly: "Bullshit, what kind of thing is this analysis?"
