"I'm just saying maybe, Gardner, Sander, don't get excited, after all, we don't have much technology for magnesium alloy cylinder castings. Anyone can have a problem. Xiong Tao continued.

"It can't be a design problem!" Gardner Oliver immediately emphasized, "We have taken into account the chemistry of the magnesium alloy in the design and used the world's most advanced solidification simulation software to fully analyze the pouring condition of the product!"

Sander James, who is a little calmer than Gardner Oliver's, took Gardner's words and said in standard London accent English: "We have established a three-dimensional model of a variety of design schemes through UG, and then established their finite element models, and through numerical simulation of the filling process and solidification process of various schemes, the optimal design scheme obtained by comparative analysis will theoretically have no design problems!"

Sander James and Gardner Oliver, both of whom are truly British, have lighter skin tones, thick eyebrows, thin lips, and three-dimensional faces.

Here, their other identity is that they are designers of engine block castings. And the weight is heavy, the two men were previously designers of the engine research center of the British Rover Motors. When Rover was still owned by BMW, he designed the engines of several BMW series cars.

Later, after Rover Company was acquired by SAIC Group, the two of them became the precious talents of SAIC! Their status was no lower than that of He Dongliu, who was the chief designer!

Sander and Gardner defended their technology so much that none of the designers could talk. Let them question it openly? But in this regard, the R&D team led by these two people is indeed an authority! They are not qualified to question it.

But they felt that what Xiong Tao said might be reasonable, but there was no way, He Dongliu could only say: "If something goes wrong with this thing, each of us is responsible." In this way, check all the links, study it, where the problem is, and then find a way to solve it!"

The mold manufacturing cycle of cylinder block castings is too long, and we can't delay the research and development progress of the TC5116 engine. ”

After the meeting ended, He Dongliu found Xiong Tao again and asked about the situation.

"He Gong, seriously, this is not the first time we have had a problem!" Xiong Tao was full of grievances and said: "We strictly control every link in the manufacture of cylinder casting molds, and in the end there is still a problem, it can only be a problem with the design!"

"But those two Britons are still very arrogant, and I think they must be fine! I think they are not capable enough to make magnesium alloy cylinder castings!"

"Just tell me this, don't complain about them, they have a bad temper and go on strike at every turn. He Dongliu reassured, "I also understand your suffering. ”

"He Gong, it's not that I'm wronged. Xiong Tao continued, "We originally used aluminum alloy cylinder castings, and there was no problem at all. This time, in order to reduce the weight of the engine, magnesium alloy and magnesium-aluminum alloy were used to manufacture cylinder block die-castings. But this technique, even abroad, is very difficult, I don't think Sander and Gardner are good. We're either going to give up on the idea of magnesium alloys, or we're going to find outside help!"

He Dongliu thought for a while and said, "I want to think about it, I can't set a good goal, and I give up at every turn." ”

The engine R&D team argued and tested for a few days, and still couldn't come up with a solution, in desperation, He Dongliu thought of Xinsheng parts processing factory, last time they said that there is a manufacturing technology for engine blocks and cylinder head castings. If it's really a problem with the manufacturing process, why don't you ask them to make the mold parts and see what the problem is?

For this matter, He Dongliu asked Lei Xu and Xiong Tao to go on a business trip to Xinsheng parts processing factory in person.

"Director Li, meet again!" Lei Xu shook hands with Li Gucheng with a smile, "I'm here to ask you for help this time." ”

"I know, I've read all the emails. You can rest assured, we will definitely help with this little favor, it just so happens that these days, we are all studying the problem of engine block and cylinder head casting, and the equipment has been debugged, and it will definitely help!" Li Gucheng said.

"That's good, by the way, is Mr. Du here?" asked Lei Xu.

"He'll be there tomorrow. Our chief technical person in charge is here, no problem!" Li Gucheng said.

"Then let's meet the chief technical person in charge of Du Que first. Xiong Tao said that he just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible.

When he arrived at Xinsheng's machinery industry laboratory, Xiong Tao couldn't help but be suspicious. This small laboratory is inevitably too small! There is also this small factory, they really understand the problem of high-end mold manufacturing for engine block castings? He Gong is too child's play! He actually asked them for help!

Seeing Du Que, Xiong Tao felt even more unreliable. This person's appearance is really "ordinary", he is completely a person who can't be found if he is lost in the crowd, and he has no characteristics. That's their total technical guidance?

Du Que looked at the information brought by Xiong Tao, shook his head directly, and said, "No." ”

"No?" Xiong Tao was puzzled, "What can't you do, can't you make it?"

Seeing that Du Que read the information so quickly, he was convinced in his heart that the other party should not be able to manufacture the mold parts of the cylinder block.

"What a waste of time! I don't know what He Gong thinks? Entertain me?" Xiong Tao felt a little aggrieved in his heart.

"No, I'm saying there's a problem with the design of the cylinder casting. Such cylinder castings are made with shrinkage and leakage. Du Que said.

Xiong Tao was taken aback by his words, and the other party just glanced at it and knew the possible problems? Impossible, right? You must know that they used various data models and calculated correctly!

"Did He Gong tell you?" asked Xiong Tao.

Du Que still shook his head and said, "I can see it myself." If there is a problem with the design, it can be manufactured, but when the mold parts are manufactured, the penetration ratio will be very high, so it is not recommended to manufacture. ”

"Can you really make it? Can you please make the mold parts first? I think it's probably better to use facts than to guess. Xiong Tao didn't believe it, this Du Que felt like he was scolding him, he couldn't have this level, and he could see the design problem at a glance!

"Yes. "Du Que is naturally no problem, there are die-casting machines brought by Du Mingxuan from the cyborg civilization in the factory, and manufacturing is not a problem.

"How long will it take, can it be a month?" asked Xiong Tao.

"No, it's just a day. Du Que said.

"One day! Du Gong, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Xiong Tao really put all the doubts on his face this time, and said: "The manufacturing cycle of engine block castings, even if the design is excluded, will take ten days and half a month, you can do it in one day? This is not a toy!"

"I say one day at a time. Du Que didn't bother to explain to him, in his opinion, Xiong Tao's ignorance was unbearable!
