The award ceremony on the 25th, although it was not broadcast exclusively on CCTV, but the "News Network" that night was broadcast in detail, and in the footage of the broadcast, there happened to be a scene of the chief cordially shaking hands with Zhou Jingming, which can be said to make Zhou Jingming out of the limelight.

And the day after the award ceremony, Zhou Jingming was not in a hurry to go back, because Li Mingzhe told him on the 24th that Zhou Jingming would come to the Ministry of Machinery on the 26th.

"Minister Li, is there anything to do with me?" Zhou Jingming asked respectfully after coming to Li Mingzhe's office.

"Actually, there is nothing special, there are a few things to ask. Lee Ming-che motioned for Zhou Jingming to sit down first, and then continued, "How is the development of the family car going, and can it be officially put into production and sale next year as planned?"

When it comes to China's own family car, Lee Ming-che has always been very concerned about the project, and often calls Zhou Jingming to inquire about the progress.

"It will definitely be able to put into production normally next year, and this will not change. As for the specific development progress, the engine and gearbox are expected to be able to complete all the development work in June, as for the development of the whole vehicle, it is estimated that it will not be completed until August, and the remaining four months are all kinds of performance tests and solve the process problems in production. Zhou Jingming replied.

The engine and gearbox were both relatively easy to develop because they were all referenced, and these two projects were the first to start, so they ended at the earliest.

Li Mingzhe nodded seriously, and then continued to ask, "Regarding the development of Hongqi cars, I also heard Lao Chen say, do you really have the confidence to let Hongqi cars go to the world?"

This matter was conveyed from the top down, and Lee Ming-che had to pay attention to it.

"Don't worry, Minister Li, I know it in my heart, and I also hope that Hongqi Car can have a very good performance in the world market, because this will be the pride of our entire Chinese nation. Zhou Jingming replied solemnly.

Next, Li Mingzhe chatted with Zhou Jingming for a while on the rest of the issues before letting Zhou Jingming leave.

After returning to Shencheng with a huge glory on his head, Zhou Jingming quickly transformed this glory into a huge motivation and devoted himself to his work with more enthusiasm.

Time soon entered February, according to the established work arrangement, equipped with ESP system Kirin car officially accepted reservations, compared with the conventional configuration of the Kirin car, after the optional ESP system, the price of each car will increase on the original basis of 1,000 yuan.

Because the price of the Kirin sedan itself is not low, people who can afford this car will naturally not be stingy with this thousand yuan, after all, the investment of this thousand yuan has brought about an improvement in driving safety, which is the most important thing for car owners.

Therefore, after the optional configuration of the ESP system was opened in February, consumers in both the European and American markets and the domestic market chose to buy the Kirin sedan equipped with the ESP system. Because the process problem of on-line assembly has been solved in the early stage, for the automaker, the installation of an ESP system will not have much impact on the rhythm of the production line.

With the commissioning of the ESP system, Tianming Automobile Company is still running the project, only the development project of the "Little Fuwa" family car, the replacement project of the Kirin car and the technology exchange of the Quattro system are three projects, and the most important thing is the first two projects, because these two cars are to be officially launched next year.

After more than a month of efforts, Zhou Jingming is responsible for the body design has also established the final design plan, Zhou Jingming is currently arranging the body design and research institute of technical personnel to draw, once the first version of the drawings are ready, then Zhou Jingming can let the welding workshop for production, and then in the wind tunnel laboratory for local optimization.

The time came to June all of a sudden, half of 1991 was about to pass, and the weather in Gusu City was also becoming hot, at this time in the engine research institute, headed by Zhou Jingming, plus Wang Yuanchao and other leaders of the engine factory, all of them were nervously watching the busy technicians.

After nearly a year of hard work, the FW series engine, which is modeled on the LS series engine of General Motors and specially used for the "Little Fuwa" car, has completed all the development tasks in the last week, and produced two engine prototypes according to the design requirements, ready for the next ignition test and engine bench test.

The designers were busy with the final preparations and inspections before the experiment, the two FW series engines were neatly placed on the bench, and with all the preparations completed, the ignition test officially began.

Everyone stared intently at the two engines, and the whole laboratory was silent, and then they heard "...... The two engines made a beautiful sound at the same time, and then they began to work normally.

The ignition test was successful!

There was a burst of cheers in the entire laboratory, and Zhou Jingming, who was standing at the front, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the ignition test passed, Zhou Jingming almost didn't have to worry about the rest of the performance tests.

"I will hand over the next relevant tests of the FW engine to you, especially the bench test, which must be done well, and I will check the external characteristic curve of this engine at that time. After the ignition was successful, Zhou Jingming and Wang Yuanchao walked out of the laboratory.

"Leave the engine to me, and ensure that all the tasks can be completed on time. Wang Yuanchao replied with a smile.

Not long after the engine completed the ignition test, the gearbox also announced that it had completed all the development work of the gearbox and axle, and the next step was to enter the performance testing experiment.

With the completion of the development of the transmission assembly of the family car project, the development of the remaining components of the Xiaofuwa car has also entered the final stage, especially the development of vehicle interior parts, which has been completed one after another.

On the body design side, after completing the first version of the design drawings, Zhou Jingming also let the welding workshop produce the body for the first time, and transported it to the wind tunnel laboratory for wind tunnel testing, and then according to the specific results of the wind tunnel test, the unreasonable places of the body were improved and perfected accordingly, so as to make it more in line with the principle of aerodynamics, minimize the drag coefficient, and improve the dynamics of the Xiaofuwa car.

A total of three wind tunnel tests were carried out before and after, and Zhou Jingming finally determined the body design scheme of the Xiaofuwa car, so that the last assembly design of the entire family car project was completed in the hands of Zhou Jingming, which means that the development project of the "Xiaofuwa" car has been completed.
