Chapter 0318: Progress in the Wind Tunnel Laboratory
"At this stage, the main task of the project team is to conduct a theoretical analysis first, and I will provide you with the preliminary technical solution as soon as possible, and I will also prepare the engine laboratory as soon as possible, and before you complete the theoretical analysis and enter the follow-up experimental demonstration, you will definitely buy back the experimental equipment that needs to be used." Zhou Jingming continued.
At this stage, the engine factory has not yet entered the profit stage, and the gear factory branch established in the second automobile has also exhausted all the income of the gear factory.
Fortunately, the initial theoretical analysis and demonstration will take at least about a year, and a year's time, whether it is a gear factory or an engine factory, there is enough time to make profits, and then it will be too late to establish an engine laboratory.
"The engine laboratory is not in a hurry, the theoretical analysis has not been completed, it is still too early to talk about experimental demonstration, 1 research and development, I try not to trouble you, but I really encountered a problem that cannot be solved, I still have to go to you for help, who made you the technical consultant of the project team." Luo Yuzhong replied with a smile. He also knew that Zhou Jingming was very busy, so he wouldn't trouble Zhou Jingming until he had to.
The new product research and development project of Qiming Engine Factory was quietly launched, and there was no grandiose statement, not even a ceremony to announce to the public, which was low-key and frightening.
In addition to managing the assembly workshop of SAIC Volkswagen, the rest of the time is used to write the technical plan of the engine research and development project, and to further complete the design of the Hongqi Dongfeng car, while the Xunming Gear Factory and Qiming Engine Factory are completely handed over to He Yingxun and Wang Yuanchao for management.
At the same time, the construction project of the wind tunnel laboratory located in the Future Innovation Studio is gradually coming to an end, the internal structure of the laboratory has been completed, and the relevant experimental equipment has been transported from abroad to China, and the technical staff of the project team is currently installing these equipment.
On the other hand, the first project that Zhou Jingming cooperated with Runzhou Institute of Technology, that is, the body styling design project in charge of Su Wangting, has basically completed all the development at this stage, but in the drag coefficient, because it is not easy to measure accurately, so the project has been stuck on this and has not been completed for a long time.
In February 1986, after changing the design drawings of the body according to Zhou Jingming's requirements, Su Wangting came to Shencheng with the drawn drawings, ready to report the progress of the project and the next work plan to Zhou Jingming.
"Xiao Zhou, you said, if the body designed according to your requirements is really put on the market, will anyone buy it?" After the report ended, Su Wangting pointed to the complete body on the drawings and said.
It is not so much that the body on the drawings was designed by Su Wangting, but rather by Zhou Jingming, because the original manuscript provided by Su Wangting has been changed beyond recognition at the request of Zhou Jingming, and the body shape displayed now reflects Zhou Jingming's design ideas.
Compared with the appearance described by Zhou Jingming at the beginning, the current body is closer to the aesthetics of the car by the Volkswagen, and it is a bit similar to the Hongqi Dongfeng designed by Zhou Jingming, but compared with the Hongqi Dongfeng, the changes are greater, and it has almost completely departed from the current car's styling design.
"Mr. Su, have you forgotten the Hongqi Dongfeng car that stood out at the last Shencheng Auto Show?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile.
"But compared to Hongqi's sub-brand car, the body designed now, the visual impact is really too great, anyway, for people like me, maybe I'm used to seeing the square body shape, and then look at the current one, I always feel a little awkward. Su Wangting shook his head, although he also wanted to improve the power of the car by reducing the drag coefficient of the body, but he always felt that Zhou Jingming had no practical commercial value in doing so.
Of course, the most unacceptable thing for Su Wangting is that Zhou Jingming has emphasized many times to strengthen the design of the door thickness, which makes the door that was originally integrated with the body become bulging, and it is particularly strange to look at it from the front or rear of the car.
However, Su Wangting did not say this, because the current Zhou Jingming may be stronger than himself in terms of scientific research and control of the future market.
"It doesn't make sense for me to say more, so let's wait until later and speak with actual results. Zhou Jingming smiled and said mysteriously.
"The design of this body has always been based on the Shencheng brand car, is it possible, do you want to replace the Shencheng brand car like this?" Su Wangting thought of this, and couldn't help but exclaim.
If this is really the case, it will completely subvert the understanding of the Chinese people about the Shencheng brand car!
Zhou Jingming just smiled and didn't answer, but avoided the topic and said, "I'll take Mr. Su to see the wind tunnel laboratory, in a while, the laboratory will be completely built, and then you can use the experimental conditions here to optimize the design of the body and further reduce the drag coefficient of the body." ”
Since Zhou Jingming didn't say it, Su Wangting didn't ask any more, but looking at Zhou Jingming's expression, Su Wangting probably had a result in his heart.
After the two people came out of the room, they came directly to the wind tunnel laboratory, the staff was busy with the installation of equipment in an orderly manner, the previous Su Wangting, only saw such a thing as a wind tunnel laboratory in the literature, but did not see it, and now the wind tunnel laboratory that is about to be installed is in front of his eyes, Su Wangting suddenly can't walk, this also has to see, that also has to touch, I can't wait to stay here and not leave.
"When all of them are completed, we can build the designed car body in a ratio of 1:5, and then put it in it for driving simulation, and find out the unreasonable design through experimental data for further improvement. Zhou Jingming stood aside and introduced with a smile.
Su Wangting just nodded, but did not speak, his attention was completely attracted by these devices.
"If Mr. Su likes it, then I can hand over this laboratory to you in the future, and you can simply stay here in the future!" Zhou Jingming said suddenly.
Anyway, Su Wangting is about to reach the age of retirement, if such an academic expert can be hired back, it will definitely be a tiger with wings for Zhou Jingming!
"Your kid doesn't want to beat me, it's definitely not going to work for the time being. Su Wangting turned around and said angrily.
