048: Engine material selection
One month later, Huaxin officially announced that it would put into production on a regular basis.
And under the auspices of Lao Chang and under the instruction of Zhao Tian, the engine models that Huaxin Company put into mass production in the early stage were 'Dragon-I.', 'Dragon-II.' and 'Dragon-III.'.
These three engines were also determined at the beginning of the original planning.
Among them, the 'Dragon-I' engine is the body engine used in the current Hanbrand Cosmos Walker model.
As for the 'Dragon-II.', the third model currently developed by the Cosmos Group is matched based on the engine power of the 'Dragon-II'.
In addition, in terms of quantification, given that the third model has also entered the final stage of development and commissioning, it will soon be able to carry out actual field tests. This also means that the third model of the Cosmos Group is also about to be launched, so there is naturally a lot of demand for the number of 'Dragon-II.'.
Therefore, after ensuring the stable supply of the 'Dragon-I' engine, the 'Dragon-II' engine was produced in small batches.
As for the 'Dragon-III' model, it will be used for the development of more models in the future.
Huaxin's announcement of production is naturally a big event for the Universe Group. At the same time, it is also exciting news for the other three car companies that have a stake.
At the time of confirming the production, Huaxin has signed agreements with these three car companies.
According to the initial contract, Huaxin will produce no less than 12% of the 'Dragon-I' engine produced by Huaxin Company to each of these three car companies every year.
This also means that with the current production capacity of at least 200,000 Dragon-I.' units, these three automakers will be able to enjoy at least 24,000 Dragon-I.' engines per year.
For the three car companies, obtaining the use of the 'Dragon-I' engine, although it cannot make them invincible, can at least increase a lot of core competitiveness.
In the past, the characteristics of 'meat, bluntness, and waste', which were criticized in terms of power, will also be greatly improved.
The idea is beautiful, but the implementation is extremely tedious and laborious.
After announcing the date of production, although Huaxin Company looks thriving, for Lao Chang, behind this prosperity, it is extremely painful for him.
As the main person in charge of Huaxin Company, he needs to be responsible for all the preparations at the beginning of production.
Whether it is the collaboration between various departments or the implementation of major strategic decisions, he needs to personally intervene.
In the process, there is another thing that makes Lao Chang start to get agitated.
Problems with the use of engine materials.
In the preliminary preparation stage of Huaxin Company, when the R&D laboratory manufactured the engine design drawings provided by Zhao Tian, in view of the small batch at that time, the R&D room personnel used cast iron and aluminum alloy materials in the use of materials.
The finished engine products of the two manufacturing materials are not much different in the later data testing and other multi-faceted tests.
However, in the derivation data of the finished product, the data obtained by the aluminum engine in terms of fuel consumption and heat dissipation are significantly better than that of the cast iron engine.
In addition, in terms of manufacturing process, it is superior to the excellent ductility of aluminum alloy itself, so that it has to reduce many additional manufacturing processes in the processing process.
At the same time, in terms of quality, the monocoque aluminum alloy engine is at least 25KG lighter than the cast iron engine, which undoubtedly shows that the aluminum engine is better than the cast iron engine.
Big data in the automotive industry shows that for every 10 percent reduction in the mass of the car itself, fuel consumption will be reduced by about 8 percent at the same time. In view of the current concept of 'energy conservation and emission reduction' in society, aluminum engines seem to be more in line with what I want.
As for the engine made of cast iron, its advantages are also very prominent.
Its 'three highs', that is, 'high temperature resistance, high pressure, high wear' characteristics, also make it still occupy half of the current market. The most important thing is that the iron resources are sufficient, the cost is low, and the domestic technology for cast iron is also relatively mature.
In fact, in the selection of engine materials, most of the engineers of Huaxin Company are more close to alloy aluminum materials, which is also in line with the development trend of raw materials in the automobile industry.
Lao Chang didn't take these things too seriously, and the right was left to everyone's opinions.
But when it was time to prepare for production, I found that the originally inconspicuous problem had now become a big problem.
If you choose aluminum materials, the supply of raw materials is a big problem.
If the cast iron raw material is used, it is contrary to the concept that has always been used.
For a while, it really made Lao Chang big.
After hesitating, I suddenly remembered Li Minghao, who was still in the GKO Group, and my heart suddenly brightened.
Lao Chang's heart is bright, and he seems to feel that there is a road ahead, but for Li Minghao, the 'future' does not seem to be so bright.
It has been more than a month since the arrival of GKO Group, and since the first arrival, after meeting Li Tongtong, he proposed the cooperation method of 'renting instead of power', but Li Tongtong naturally refused verbally.
After all, even if Li Tongtong can accept that kind of cooperation, he can't give an explanation to the company, and he can't fool around and buy a 'tape' as an explanation.
Originally, Li Tongtong wanted to make Li Minghao, who represented the Universe Group, change through normal negotiation, at least to reach a normal way of cooperation in the eyes of outsiders.
He is even ready to make sacrifices, even if in terms of interests, it is okay to have more power to the Universe Group.
But Li Minghao seems to be like a granite in a dung pit, from beginning to end, he insists on 'renting instead of rights' cooperation throughout the whole process.
Li Tongtong was helpless!
Li Minghao was also very helpless! He came with a death order!
After persisting like this for more than a month, the magic is that the two still failed to reach an agreement!
When Li Minghao first came, he knew that this was a tough battle, and coming alone was the best preparation.
But this made Li Tongtong depressed, after a few days of good student deliberation, or he hinted to Li Minghao intentionally or unintentionally, even in this cooperation, it is okay to let the Universe Group have more interests.
Unexpectedly, Li Minghao was stubborn, and he always insisted on 'substituting rent for power'.
Later, Li Tongtong even expressed very bluntly that if according to the normal way of holding shares, even if the profits of the previous few years were sacrificed by the Juke Group, all the amount would be handed over to the Universe Group, he would be able to accept it.
But Li Minghao still did not waver in his initial statement.
If the years are a pig-killing knife, for Li Tongtong, Li Minghao is now a giant pig-killing knife, and during this period of time when he came, Li Tongtong's new white hair is especially prosperous in the past few years.
