With the successful ignition of the first engine, the whole workshop suddenly burst into cheers, and many workers hugged each other and celebrated with emotion.

"Congratulations!" Looking at the rumbling engine in front of him, Li Mingzhe stretched out his hands and said to Zhou Jingming and Wang Yuanchao.

"Thank you, Director Li!" the two men held Lee Ming-che's left and right hands respectively and replied in unison.

"In this case, then our SAIC Volkswagen, will we be able to use the engine produced here for assembly in the future!" Xu Guanglu on the side also asked excitedly.

"The realization of localized production of engines will greatly save China's foreign exchange expenditure, and transportation costs will also be saved, and for SAIC Volkswagen, it will also be able to further reduce production costs. Lee Ming-che said with emotion.

The success of this ignition is of great significance to the domestic automobile industry.

"Director Li, factory director, at present, there are still a lot of imported engine inventories in the assembly workshop, which is enough to support the end of this month, and I think it should be officially switched to the engine from next year. Zhou Jingming proposed.

"This is good, but also convenient for the logistics department of the feeding, really not, this time can also be appropriate to slow down the production speed, to ensure that at the end of this month, just the imported engine inventory is exhausted, and then next year after the start of the line, you can order engines from you." Xu Guanglu nodded.

From Qiming Engine Plant to SAIC Volkswagen's Anting production base, it only takes ten minutes to arrive by truck, compared with the previous need to transport from Germany to China, the transportation cost alone will save a lot.

With the successful launch of the first engine, the enthusiasm of the workers of Qiming Engine Factory is also rising, and the production line continues to run, and one engine after another is constantly being transported down the production line......

Time soon turned a new chapter, and 1986 came as promised.

SAIC Volkswagen, also in accordance with the original plan, carried out a comprehensive switch of the engine, replacing the original imported engine with a localized engine, because the localized engine itself is no different from the imported engine, so when assembling in the assembly workshop, there was no problem, and the engine switching was successfully completed.

At this point, SAIC Volkswagen officially announced that Santana has fully realized localized production and completely bid farewell to the CKD assembly mode, and this progress is more than five years ahead of Zhou Jingming's rebirth!

For a time, China's automobile market once again attracted the attention of the world's major car manufacturers, especially the German Volkswagen, the successful completion of the Santana project, so that they suddenly tasted the sweetness, there are rumors that Volkswagen is preparing to negotiate with the Chinese government on another joint venture project!

At this time, Zhou Jingming was holding a meeting for all the technical staff of the factory, and the theme of the meeting was to set up an engine independent research and development project team to develop an engine with independent intellectual property rights that belonged to Qiming Engine Factory!

"According to what I just said, our factory this engine research and development, a total of two stages, the first stage, synchronous development of an in-line four-cylinder and in-line six-cylinder, and the use of multi-point EFI system engine, and the second stage, is on the basis of the first stage, the multi-point EFI will be improved to direct injection, the first stage of the engine will be our first generation of engine, and the use of direct injection in the cylinder, will be the second generation of engine, I can tell you in advance of a news, these two generations of engines, will be used in the follow-up by me personally designed on the car！”

Zhou Jingming stood in front and said solemnly to everyone.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the whole conference room, especially the news revealed by Zhou Jingming at the end, it was like a thunderbolt, and the only one who dared to boast that he independently designed a model was the person in front of him!

Zhou Jingming didn't take everyone's discussion to heart, everything he is doing now is for the purpose of building cars independently in the future, these, from Rao Bin to Xu Guanglu, these people all know, and Zhou Jingming doesn't mind more people knowing about it.

"Let me talk specifically about the technical scheme of this engine research and development, the overall form of the engine is in in-line form, the valve mechanism is DOHC mode, and the maximum power speed is required to be reached, and the maximum torque is kept at about 250......"

The people at the bottom secretly stumped again, Zhou Jingming's list of these engine parameters, is not the general engine can be compared, take the maximum torque as an example, the best car engine in China, is the one assembled by Santana, and its maximum torque is only about 150, Zhou Jingming increased the maximum torque by more than 100 as soon as he came up, how can it not be surprising!

"In addition, the model code for this engine research and development is tentatively set at 1, and I will serve as the technical consultant of the project team, and Luo Yuzhong will be the person in charge of the project team. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Jingming paused, "Next, I announce that the Qiming Power 1 engine R&D project team has been officially established!"

After Zhou Jingming said this, there was a burst of warm applause in the conference room, from the initial body modeling research, to the later research of the hypoid gear of the gear factory, and then to the independent research of the current engine, while expanding the business territory, Zhou Jingming did not forget the role of independent innovation, and in the follow-up, all these project teams will eventually be merged into the future innovation studio, that is to say, the future innovation studio will become an independent, comprehensive automotive research institute!

After the end of this meeting, it was announced that Qiming Engine Factory had taken an important step on the road of independent research and development, and laid a solid foundation for the subsequent brilliant chapter.

"The first stage of multi-point EFI research and development will be the key to the whole project, I will try to provide a detailed technical plan for your reference, but the specific idea to carry out, but it is up to you to decide. After the meeting, Zhou Jingming said to Luo Yuzhong.

The R&D project of VR6 engine has ended, in order to expand the strength of Qiming Engine Factory, Zhou Jingming found Luo Yuzhong, hoping that he could come to the factory as the chief technical engineer, but Luo Yuzhong agreed very happily. It is precisely because of Luo Yuzhong's joining that Zhou Jingming accelerated the process of independent research and development of engines.

"With you as the technical consultant of the project team, I have nothing to worry about, but the R&D requirements you put forward are not low, and it will definitely take a long time. Luo Yuzhong nodded and replied with a smile.

"As long as the development of the four-cylinder engine can be completed before 88, the progress of the six-cylinder engine can be delayed a little. Zhou Jingming said with a deep gaze.

If nothing else, 1988 will be a turning point in Zhou Jingming's career!
