Chapter 123: Perverted Fuel Consumption

How much is 20 litres of fuel per hour?

That is, the fuel consumption of a high-end off-road vehicle.

However, it produces up to 1,500 horsepower!

Main battle tanks!

What is the concept?

They weigh at least 50 tons or more!

The fuel consumption of the main battle tanks is very staggering. It's often 200 liters per hour, or even more than 300 liters.

For example, the Polar Bear's T-80 tank power system uses a GTD-1000 gas turbine, with an engine rated power of about 724 kW (only 985 horsepower), a maximum internal fuel load of 1,000 liters, a maximum road range of 400 kilometers, and a fuel consumption of 250 liters/100 kilometers.

Knock on the blackboard and highlight the points. 250 liters. Oil Tiger.

Eagle Sauce's M1A1 tank uses an AGT-1500 gas turbine engine with a maximum power of 1,103 kilowatts (just 1,500 horsepower), a maximum internal fuel load of 1,907.6 liters, a maximum road range of 498 kilometers, and a fuel consumption of 383 liters / 100 kilometers.

Knock on the blackboard and highlight the points. 383 liters. Big oil tigers.

The Type 90 main battle tank engine is a two-stroke, water-cooled V-shaped turbo diesel engine manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with an output of 811 kilowatts (about 1,100 horsepower). It has a fuel reserve of 1100 liters, a maximum speed of 70 km / h, a maximum range of 340 km, and a fuel consumption of 323 l / 100 km.

Knock on the blackboard and highlight the points. 323 liters. Big oil tigers.

The British Challenger main battle tank uses a Condor 12V-1200 turbodiesel engine manufactured by Perkins Engines, which produces 882 kW (about 1,200 hp) at 2,300 r/min. Maximum road speed: 56km/h, fuel reserve: 1797L, maximum range of 450 km, fuel consumption of 399 l/100km.

Knock on the blackboard and highlight the points. 399 liters. Huge oil tigers.

A certain model of the Huaxia tank uses an 883 kilowatt (about 1,200 horsepower) turbocharged intercooled high-power diesel engine, with a maximum road speed of 70 km/h and a maximum range of 600 km. Fuel consumption is 410 l / 100 km.

Knock on the blackboard......

Forget it, the blackboard is all smashed.

You read that right. It's the biggest oil tiger. Fuel consumption broke the record of 400 liters per kilometer.

Of course, there is Arjun, a large country in South Asia, which consumes more fuel.

With similar power, other people's fuel consumption is more than 200 liters, 300 liters, and 400 liters.

Your fuel consumption is actually 20 liters?

Are you sure you're not kidding?

Everyone looked at Wang Bu'an with suspicious eyes.

Anyone who knows a little about physics knows that this is impossible. Serious violation of the law of conservation of energy!

They all hope to get Wang Buan's explanation to get a glimpse of the heavens.

However, Wang Buyan did not explain.

He couldn't explain.

Confidentiality cannot be divulged.

In fact, on the issue of molecular sieves, Wang Buan is hiding from the world.

Penglai series diesel engines do not use ordinary molecular sieves. The basic principle is also not the adsorption of nitrogen. It converts nitrogen into hydrogen, which goes directly into the combustion chamber.

The basic principle of the water molecule synthesizer is to convert the nitrogen atom in the air into hydrogen atoms, and then combine with the oxygen atom to form water molecules. The rain appeared. Inside the diesel engine, there is an ultra-miniature water-molecule synthesizer. It only has the first step. It is the conversion of nitrogen into hydrogen. Hydrogen is involved in the combustion process as the main fuel.

Diesel, more often than not, is just an accelerant. It doesn't really matter if you want it or not. Its consumption is naturally very small.

Because chemical reactions are involved, the simple law of conservation of physical energy no longer applies.

Liang Penghai actually doesn't care about this.

He cares about the cost of fuel.

The main battle tank consumes too much fuel, resulting in an extremely high cost per start.

A drill costs a lot of money.

Except for Eagle Sauce, everyone else is a little painful.

However, if there is no sufficiently intense training and exercise, how can we gain combat effectiveness? When we go on the battlefield, there will be serious problems.

This is still the case for the military, and the civilian population is even more concerned about the cost.

The fuel consumption of some large machinery is also very staggering. It's often hundreds of liters per hour. Fuel costs are very high.

Even for ordinary excavators and bulldozers, the fuel consumption is very considerable.

Today's diesel fuel costs more than six yuan per liter.

Save 80% of fuel costs, how much money do you save in an hour?

I'm afraid every boss will calculate this account.

Now there is only one problem:

How much does it cost to sell?

On the market, the price of a 600-horsepower diesel engine is generally more than 150,000 yuan and less than 400,000 yuan.

It seems that the diesel engines of Weichai, Shangchai, and Yuchai are all like this.

Only a few of them are sold for more than 400,000 yuan.

As for the 1500 horsepower, there is no certain standard for how much it will cost.

The basic principle is that the more horsepower, the higher the price. Grow in geometric progression. High-horsepower diesel engines are definitely not in stock.

Both the supply and demand sides need to sign an order, determine the specifications, determine the price, and only then start production.

According to the general calculation principle, the price of a 1500 horsepower diesel engine must be more than 1.5 million yuan.

It's still ordinary. If there are special requirements, it is more expensive.

For example, the 1,500 horsepower diesel engine used in the main battle tank costs at least $500,000.

Can Penglai diesel engines be sold so expensive?

I'm afraid not.

It's a new product after all!

Its performance, stability, and reliability have not been proven.

At present, Penglai is still in the stage of experimental products.

"Sales are your responsibility. I am only responsible for the supply of raw materials. Wang Bu'an shook his hand and was in charge.

"However, we need a hydraulic press ......," Liang Penghai frowned.

"Fifty thousand dollars a day!"

"Chief Engineer Wang, you sit on the ground and start the price!"

"Do you think it's a good deal?"

"Okay!"

Liang Penghai had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Originally, the rent was only 10,000 yuan a day, but now it is good, and it has quadrupled.

I knew it earlier, and I promised it before.

It's really shrewd all his life, but he is blind when he is old.

Fortunately, the rent of 50,000 yuan a day has also been done. The key is the supply of raw materials.

A 1500 horsepower diesel engine is only sold at a price of 600 horsepower, and the sales volume is not too good. He has always been very confident when it comes to sales. As long as there is a good enough product, there is no worry about sales.

"Chief Engineer Wang, we have to sign a written agreement. Liang Penghai said, "Otherwise, I don't have a bottom in my heart!"

"What kind of written agreement?" Wang Bu'an asked knowingly.

"Of course, it's the supply of raw materials. ”

"How many raw materials do you need?"

"Ten units a day. ”

"I'll give you twenty units a day. ”

"Good. ”

Liang Penghai was overjoyed.

With raw materials and technology, he can really do a great job.

In fact, 20 units per day, which is more than 7,000 units per year. It is completely unsatisfying. Moreover, there are derivative models.

Wang Bu'an has already said that such a good technology and such a good raw material are wasted to make a 1500-horsepower diesel engine. It's pretty much the same for 5000 horsepower. It's a little higher, it's 15,000 horsepower. This is to catch up with the level of some small and medium-sized gas turbines. Seriously, it will definitely be able to seize some of the gas turbine market.

Liang Penghai has thought about it. The main market for new diesel engines is those gas turbines with high consumption and low energy.

He can't wait for the spin-off right now.

"There's no problem with that. Wang Buan said slowly.

Instead of producing 1,500 horsepower, it is better to produce 5,000 horsepower.

They work the same way. It's just that the volume of the combustion chamber is a little larger. The total volume is also a little larger, and the weight has increased by about two times.

However, if it is compared with a diesel engine of the same power, its volume is already very exquisite.

Needless to say, if it is compared with a gas turbine of the same power.

It's exactly the difference between a watermelon and an apple!

"Chief Engineer Wang, why don't we join forces to set up a new company?" Liang Penghai proposed.

"Why, can't you believe me?" Wang Buan said intentionally or unintentionally.

"Of course not......"

"Okay. Plied. ”

Wang Buan decisively agreed.

He also knew that Liang Penghai was not very relieved.

After all, all the technology and raw materials are in their own hands, and the other party is definitely not down-to-earth.

In case he cut off the technology and the supply of raw materials that day, Liang Penghai would only have a dry stare. He had just suffered a loss, and of course he didn't want to suffer a second time.

Moreover, this guy also has a small abacus. That is, he didn't want to give the rent of 50,000 a day.

If the two of them were a joint shareholder, he wouldn't have to pay rent.

"However, the raw materials are mine, the technology is mine, and even the equipment is mine, how much equity do you think you can take?" Wang Buan said meaningfully.

"I don't want more. About 20% are held. Liang Penghai said cautiously, "Perhaps, 15% is fine." ”

"What do you think are your strengths?"

"Marketing. ”

"And then?"

"No more. My greatest strength is marketing. I have an extensive network and am able to sell my products to every corner of the world. Including the Seychelles Islands in Africa. ”

"Okay!"

Wang Buan agreed.

This guy is very confident indeed. He does have a set of sales channels.

He doesn't know what Seychelles is.

Of course, he will not really give Liang Penghai only 15% of the shares.

After all, if you want others to work for you, the first thing is to have enough motivation. For example, salary.
