Meng Wentian shook his head and said, "You guys, you are really sincere. How can you say that? The last time you cooperated with Fengtian Company, you all made great contributions, even if you really don't do anything now, then you are also qualified to eat and drink spicy food now. ……。 By the way, aren't you looking at how to increase the power of sports car engines? This is a serious matter, not necessarily only with other manufacturers to study the engine?"

It's a pity that his "right" sounded as if he had just remembered it, which made Yan Weizheng and Professor Zhao smile bitterly again.

Professor Zhao said: "Look, don't you take this matter seriously? This thing is not a normal livelihood, to increase the power of a group of gentlemen's sports cars, so as to facilitate their flying cars, this is walking in the middle of breaking the law and committing crimes, the sports car has not had an accident, and the police know about it, then we are just breaking the law, we are illegally modifying." If something happens to the sports car, then we are guilty, and you and I are both responsible. Seriously, we don't want to do that. ”

Meng Wentian was embarrassed and said, "It's not so serious, is it? Besides, my main purpose is to hope that you will first figure out the various styles of high-grade engines, so that we can develop better engines in the future." ”

Professor Zhao said: "You say it's not so serious? Even if the law doesn't prohibit it, if the owner of the car really wants to hit and kill someone, and no one comes to hold us accountable, then we won't be at ease when we make this money, right? Besides, it's not a long-term solution for us to do this, isn't it? Receiving this sports car owner this month and that sports car owner next month can't let me concentrate on research at all." …… Also, it's not that we have inferiority complexes, but if we want to study engines, these dogs and cats in our research institute want to study engines, maybe? Other engine companies have a huge scientific research team, and the domestic research team has invested millions or tens of millions, while foreign investment is even greater, at least 100 million yuan, and it is also a dollar. ”

Meng Wentian said: "Professor Zhao, don't be inferior. Aren't other people's teams organized step by step? They can't start with dozens of experts and professors or hundreds of experts and professors together, they must also recruit one and recruit another, dig a corner here and dig a corner there, so they are formed. ”

Meng Wentian took a sip of water and continued: "You also said that the scientific research funds invested by engine companies in the Chinese New Year are millions, tens of millions, then we can also invest tens of millions of yuan, or even hundreds of millions of yuan, as long as you come up with a feasible plan." ”

Professor Zhao's eyes widened and he asked, "Invest hundreds of millions of ?...... , is it likely that the total amount of scientific research funding that a university strives for from its superiors is not 100 million?"

Huang Yufei's eyes were also wide-round.

Meng Wentian said quickly: "Is there any doubt about this? We don't have to compare ourselves with a university. As long as I think there is a future, I can invest hundreds of millions. …… However, we are throwing money out every day, and a few people's scientific research projects can't spend hundreds of millions, right?"

This is not that Meng Wentian is rich and capricious, nor is it that he is open to words on a whim, you must know that now he can spend 100 million yuan for technology development in one go, not to mention a small research institute with only a dozen people, even large enterprises with tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars have not done this, this is simply a loser.

However, Meng Wentian knows how great the future of engine direct injection technology is: in the future, almost all engines will adopt direct injection technology, carburetors and other things will be eliminated, and the market size will be described as trillions of dollars, and it is every year! It is a golden baby that anyone covets and a real cash cow.

As long as it succeeds, let alone really invest 100 million yuan, Meng Wentian is willing to invest 1 billion yuan or 10 billion yuan. Provided, of course, that he has so much money.

Is it possible for Meng Wentian to succeed? Of course there is! Because when he opened an auto repair shop in his previous life, he knew a lot about the direct injection technology of various car engines. In fact, not to mention that he is a car repairer, he must be more familiar than ordinary technicians, and many drivers are no strangers to automobile engine technology.

Meng Wentian can now draw the schematic diagram of the engine direct injection technology of several famous cars by memory, and draw the drawings of their engine covers, pistons, cylinder blocks and other important parts. Now he has learned not mechanical drawing techniques, and he can't draw precise drawings, but he can definitely draw simple, schematic, and rough drawings.

With these drawings and the principles you know, you can apply for a patent.

However, Meng Wentian's ability is like this, because he is only a maintenance worker after all, he knows what the shape of the engine is, and he also knows how to repair them if there is a problem, but why their appearance is like this, what is the composition of the material, what are their physical properties, such as material strength, ductility, hardness, etc., he does not know, especially what is the internal structure of the chip that controls the direct injection of the engine.

It is even more impossible for him to establish a company to produce direct injection engines. Just as anyone who has gone to junior high school physics knows the principle of gasoline engines and diesel engines, it is impossible to really let these junior high school students establish factories to produce engines, not to mention the performance of the engine, as long as the engine he produces can run, then he is a genius.

Therefore, Meng Wentian needs to invest heavily and hire a large number of experts and professors to jointly study its design, production and manufacturing. This is mainly because of his big ambitions, his eyes are not only on a few patents, but also on the transfer of patents for a few dollars, he also wants to share a piece of the pie in the automobile manufacturing market, at least in the automobile engine manufacturing market.

He remembered that in his previous life, almost all of Huaxia's high-end engines relied on imports, not to mention those imported cars, and their engines were 100% imported.

Not to mention the engine, even the transmission gearbox, which is a little less technically demanding. Even in 2016, China's automatic transmissions mainly rely on imports, and foreign manufacturers have invariably carried out different degrees of technical blockade on domestic manufacturers, even if they arrange transmissions to be produced in China, they all choose to be held by foreign companies or wholly foreign-owned enterprises.

According to incomplete statistics, 78% of China's automatic transmission market is imported.

How could the reborn Meng Wentian not covet them?

One of the most favorable conditions is that the real start of direct injection technology in gasoline cylinders has just begun. This has emerged with the rapid development of electronic technology. It was led by the Mitsuyoshi Company of the Japanese island country. In 1996, that is, the year before last, Mitsuyoshi Automobile Company of Japan Island Country added an electronically controlled gasoline in-cylinder direct injection system for the first time on the basis of their existing 4G93 1.8L engine, and took the lead in releasing the world's first in-cylinder direct injection gasoline engine with modern technology, and so far the technology is not very mature, and many problems have not been solved. The fuel-saving advantages are not clearly understood, and there are also shortcomings in terms of emissions, so the response in the market is not very good.

It was not until around 2003 that the Mireo direct injection technology of the Japanese island country really emerged, and it began to cause engine manufacturers from all over the world to follow suit, and major automobile manufacturers began to introduce or scramble to develop this technology.

It can be said that now Meng Wentian's mastery of technology has been far ahead of Sanling Company, as long as he invests a huge amount of money, coupled with the fraud of his rebirth, he will definitely be able to achieve good results. Even if he is unable to occupy the commanding heights of high-end engine manufacturing due to the lack of domestic manufacturing capacity, he and his research institute can also carry out in-depth cooperation with the leader of direct injection technology in the island country of Sanling, and achieve a win-win situation with them and make money together.

Meng Wentian was smashing his mouth, imagining that when he would make a lot of money in the future, Professor Zhao said dissatisfiedly: "You also know." Then you still say that you can invest hundreds of millions?"

Meng Wentian couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "I didn't say that it has to be hundreds of millions. I mean, I'm not going to get you credit for research funding. As long as your project is good, I will give as much money as it should need. ”

Professor Zhao asked, "I know you have money." But what if the end result is failure? Isn't your money going down the drain? ”

Meng Wentian said: "So I said that your project must first write a feasibility report and submit it to me for approval." ”

Expert Wang smiled: "Won't the project that has been approved by you fail?"

Meng Wentian said: "It's difficult. …… If I fail after approval, the responsibility lies with me and not with you. You will get what you deserve. ”

Professor Zhao and Expert Wang both laughed good-naturedly. The meaning of that laughter is obvious: Who do you think you are? Even the gods can't guarantee that you won't fail if you approve the project, right?

Meng Wentian didn't bother to talk any further, so he said, "I'll set a direction for you." We are working on a new technology for engines – gasoline engine direct injection technology. ”

Professor Zhao was stunned, stared at Meng Wentian, and asked, "Direct injection technology......?" That's a big problem, isn't it? And the direct injection technology isn't very good right now. More than 40 years ago, the Germans used direct injection technology in their Mercedes-Benz car engines, although it was possible to do without throttles and carburetors, which greatly improved the intake of engine cylinders, improved the atomization effect of gasoline, and improved the thermal efficiency of gasoline engines. ”

He continued: "But there is a significant drawback to this technology, which is that the gasoline injected into the cylinder does not burn off during the time the engine stalls and when it stops completely, but flows down the cylinder wall into the oil pan. The gasoline that flows into the oil dilutes the oil, so engines with this technology have to change the oil every 1,600 kilometers. ”

After a pause, he added: "When Ford broke out in 1958 and later in the 70s, they also developed this direct injection technology, and also pioneered the method of injecting concentrated mixture and dilute mixture into the cylinder to achieve sequential combustion, which has obvious fuel-saving effect, but this technology was eventually shelved due to some reasons such as immature electronic control technology, high cost, and substandard nitrogen oxide emissions." ”
