Daily life is only short-lived, and Yang Ming spends more time in the company. Participate in R&D, exchange opinions, and always control the progress of the entire project to match the paranoid thoughts in his head!

His requirements for the accuracy of the values are demanding, especially in the field of pneumatics, Yang Ming has re-learned professional knowledge for this purpose, and the control must be in place.

Under his leadership, the team successfully improved the high-power asynchronous motor, which can output more than 700 horsepower per unit, and the combined output is bound to exceed 2,000.

But take into account the weakness of the motor - it started hard, but it quickly withered as well. This is the transmission that needs to maintain the highest power point, and the second is to relax the restrictions on power density and battery.

Therefore, after overcoming the problem of the electric motor, the team invested in the research and development of the transmission system, and finally combined it with the modified R8 chassis and put it on the track for testing on the old shell.

I couldn't use the new shell because it was a bit difficult in this area.

Yang Ming's design is out, there are renderings in the computer, and the drivers of the smart shell are also available, but there are still a few problems.

The first is the difficulty of the manufacturing process, in this regard, Yang Ming has dug a lot of wall feet, computer experts, material experts are in place, and they are in a hurry;

The second point is its aerodynamics, it can manufacture the shell and can be put on the car, but it does not mean that it must meet the aerodynamic requirements, it needs to be tested in the wind tunnel!

Simulating a wind tunnel alone is absolutely not enough! Ordinary sports cars cannot be satisfied, not to mention this kind of advanced design, the slightest error can not meet the requirements!

The question is where is the wind tunnel?

There are quite a few in the United States, and the auto giant GM has three wind tunnels and is building a fourth, but unfortunately they are all for their own use and will not be open to their peers.

Then only academic institutions remain, and Cal Polytechnic University also has them, but they must first meet the needs of scientific research, and the rest can be given to the outside world.

But the problem is that wind tunnel testing is not done in an hour or two, a sports car usually takes hundreds of hours, like Formula 1 it takes thousands of hours.

Yang Ming's "scale body" is more complex than the design of F1, 1000 hours is basic, even if it is used 24 hours a day, it will take 41.6 days without stopping!

In reality, it is difficult to meet this requirement, and when the motor and transmission are being tested, Yang Ming is struggling with the test problem of the new shell.

He was enthusiastic, and he didn't want to be extinguished halfway, so he asked, "Is there any other good way? Can we continue to use the wind tunnel and charter the test to enough?"

Jonathan thought for a moment: "We can only spend a high price to make up for the use of other units, but we can't continue to use it for too long, and other institutions have arranged it." ”

"That's right......," Yang Ming pondered, "Then can we buy a wind tunnel?" or build one that is enough for one-half of the car?"

Jonathan was blown away by the idea, buy a wind tunnel? or build one?

He is now completely convinced that the partner has gone a little crazy about this project!

It's scary for billionaires to go crazy! It's inconvenient to use a wind tunnel, right? I just buy one, or just build a wind tunnel!

Domineering declaration! Just to make this car perfect! Yang Ming doesn't want to miss any link!

This paranoia, even stubborn to the extreme, is beyond the reach of independent manufacturers. Pagani can't, Koenigsegg can't, because they don't have the money and can't afford to play.

But Boss Yang can, he has money, and he thinks that dreams are priceless, money is just a bastard!

Jonathan really didn't veto this point of view: "It takes too long to build it yourself, and the price is too high, but if you want to buy it, maybe you can really do it." ”

Wind tunnel trading is not unprecedented, there are wind tunnels bought and sold in F1 teams, the price of the Minardi team is less than 3 million, and of course, there are also local tyrants such as Ferrari's wind tunnel, which costs 22 million US dollars.

Therefore, buying second-hand is more cost-effective, and it can better meet the time needs of the boss...... Jonathan asked his subordinates to find it, and he was not ashamed of the scientific and technological strength of the United States, indeed.

In fact, there are at least four commercial wind tunnels in California - only wind tunnels in the civilian field, and these wind tunnels for aircraft and missiles are classified by the US military and cannot be accessed by ordinary people.

However, there are many civilian and able to test cars in the whole United States, and after a few rounds, they have connected with a wind tunnel that can carry out a 1:2 car ratio, and the maximum speed can reach 270 kilometers per hour.

After some negotiations, the other party offered $25 million to hold 75%, because the other party still has an agency to test and use, but the big boss can give priority to queuing.

It has been more than a month since Yang Ming learned the news that this idea was generated, and the sci-fi shell built at a high price has finally come up with a beta version.

That's when he was eager to test the wind tunnel: "Where?"

"Houston, Texas, is owned by a private research institute because they developed a second wind tunnel and wanted to make up for the costs. ”

"Twenty-five million?" Yang Ming thought for a moment, and agreed to the largest single expenditure since the car was built, which is also a rather crazy move in this project.

In order to meet the needs of the wind tunnel test at any time, the boss bought it directly!

This is something that most employees have never thought of, usually only large automobile groups, or local tyrants such as F1 teams dare to play like this, but I didn't expect this electric car company to be so fierce!

This news is an upbeat for the staff, who doesn't want to have enough research funding and a research environment that doesn't get in the way?

The owner gave them an absolute signal!

Jonathan also thought a little more about this: "In the future, if we make other models, or if we go to Formula E, we can also use it." ”

"I won't let the wind tunnel go to waste!" Yang Ming is now very confident, from the original small workshop thinking, if he failed, he was addicted, and now he has changed.

Because he has invested a lot of advanced technology into it, he plans to play with high-energy batteries in the future, which is an opportunity to make a name for himself, and wealth is at his fingertips.

The starting point is still to become famous and realize dreams, but the vision has been seen in the long term!

If necessary, he really wants to build a car wind tunnel that can provide a one-to-one ratio, which is called heroism!

But for now, it's domineering enough. "The pursuit of perfection" has never been a slogan to shout and play, it has always been put into practice! The best materials, the most funds, and the team from all walks of life elites.

Around this ultimate sports car, codenamed M-1, it is now replaced with a shell that contains a lot of high-tech, this shell and chassis can be said to be more expensive than the same weight of gold!

And it's not the final version yet, it's only 1.0 at the moment, and there must be 2.0 and 3.0 in the later stage...... Until the test is successful, this project will be a complete burn of money.
