The Institute of Metal Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is naturally not like the Harbin Institute of Technology Special Ceramics Research Laboratory, the two of them were stunned and were warmly received, as a national metal materials research institute directly under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is not so easy to talk to them, not to mention what to cooperate with them, it is even more difficult. Although Zhang Lan knows that the life of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not very prosperous now, it is the most important scientific research institution in the country. It's so much better than the institutes below.

The Institute of Metal Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is located in Shenyang, much closer than Harbin, as a basic materials research institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and belongs to the research institute outside Beijing, the degree of attention it receives is not very high. If the degree of attention is poor, the relative research funding will be less, otherwise Zhang Lan will not put his mind on him.

After returning home, I first told Xiao Chenxi my thoughts, and after the two discussed, they united Alice, who had just returned to the United States, to work together with their parents, in short, the all-aluminum engine is the development direction of the internal combustion engine, as a company with a long-term vision and lofty ideals, Alice Motorcycle Company has no reason to give up in this field and be willing to live behind.

If these words just came out of the mouths of Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi, Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi would have to do a hard ideological struggle, but since this idea was put forward by Alice, a genius girl, Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi had to think about it carefully. In the information that Alice sent to Zhang Zongjun, it has been clearly explained that now the three major American automobile giants General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler are all conducting research on all-aluminum engines. If you don't believe that foreigners can do it, we Chinese can't do it! Let's start with a small internal combustion engine like a motorcycle engine!

To engage in all-aluminum engine, the most important thing is to solve the problem of aluminum alloy materials, the research of metal materials is not a matter of one or two days, it takes more than ten years and decades of technical accumulation, and this matter cannot be done by the company. In this regard, there is a complete blank slate. The only way is to turn to the Institute of Metal Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

I have unified my opinions internally, and the next step is to figure out how to knock on the door of the Institute of Metal Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Zhang Lan's family squatted at home with a sad face and pondered with their fingers for a long time, and finally found that among the people they knew who were high enough, it seemed that they could only be introduced through Director Liu of the Economic and Trade Commission.

It's been more than half a year. The Zhang family has never broken off the contact with Director Liu, the contact between the two families is getting closer and closer, the last time Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi came back from the United States and got off the plane in Beijing, they specially gave this guy a "thin gift" in the past, and now I want to come, through the relationship with Director Liu. The worst can also talk to the leaders of the Institute of Metal Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"It's easy to say," after listening to Zhang Zongjun's meaning, Director Liu laughed into the phone, "Brother, isn't it just for me to help you and the director of the Institute of Metal Materials take the lead and let them help you a little favor?" This is a trivial matter, just wrap it up on me, whether it will succeed or not involves policy, I dare not say, but I can definitely let the two of you talk. Don't worry, I'll hear from you in a few days. ”

"Thank you so much," Zhang Zongjun was grateful, "next time I go to Beijing, let's have a good drink." ”

"That's good," Director Liu laughed heartily on the phone, "and when the time comes, we won't get drunk and go home." ”

At this point, the next progress depends on Director Liu, and Zhang Lan is also uncertain about whether the Chinese Academy of Sciences can help with this. Although he knew that the research funds of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were not very sufficient at this time, and he was worried about the problem of research funds all day long, Zhang Lan was really not very relieved whether he could accept the injection of private capital. At this time, are there any examples of cooperation between national scientific research institutes and private capital? Zhang Lan scratched her head. I thought about it for a long time and didn't think about it. There is no way, Zhang Lan almost didn't pay any attention to this aspect before he was reborn, so it is not surprising that he is not clear.

At this moment, the old hairy guys spoke an awkward Russian version of Chinese and stumbled over the phone, "The all-terrain vehicle design you requested has been successful!" ”

Designed so quickly? Zhang Lan couldn't believe it. Pulling Xiao Chenxi rushed to the newly established Alice Motorcycle Design Company. Sure enough, in the design room of these old Maozi, next to the all-terrain vehicle that Zhang Lan provided for them to make samples, there was a brand-new, camouflage-painted all-terrain vehicle. Zhang Zongjun had already been circling around the camouflage all-terrain vehicle there non-stop, and his mouth kept praising it.

But look at the body, the car is larger than Zhang Lan's all-terrain vehicle, and the shape is also a little different, the body inherits the low-profile body design of the all-terrain vehicle, and further optimizes, the front and rear are equipped with stout luggage racks, and guardrails and fixed hooks are installed around the luggage racks, which are enough to ensure that the various equipment required for the battlefield assault is conveniently fixed on it. After crouching down, carefully look at the car's territory, although it is unlikely to be hit, the engine part of the body is still equipped with armor protection by these designers, is it to protect against mines? Can a steel plate of this thickness be prevented? Zhang Lan scratched her head, not understanding what it meant to install such a thing at the bottom of the car.

"What is that armor you put on your turf for?" Zhang Lan pointed to the piece of armor on the chassis that he hadn't figured out what he was using for a long time and asked, "Is it mine-proof?" ”

"What's that?" A Russian engineer took one look at it and took the words, "It's not mine-proof, the battlefield is uneven, and it is likely that some protruding things such as stones and other things are installed on the engine, and that piece of armor is to protect the engine from such damage." ”

So that's it! Zhang Lan nodded, not ashamed at all, he was not a professional weapon designer, how could he think of so much?

In order to ensure sufficient speed and provide sufficient protection capabilities, the designers also installed protective armor in some key parts, from the shape of the entire body, this car is designed to cope with high-speed assault and special assault vehicles.

"You got the engine out so quickly?" The engine was firmly covered by the body, and Zhang Lan didn't see the specific appearance of the engine after looking at it for a long time, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hearing Zhang Lan's words, several Cheng engineers in charge of engine design, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces can't help but be full of embarrassment.

"It's okay," Zhang Lan comforted them, "You've only been here for more than four months, and the design and production of the engine can't be done in a day or two, even if it's an imitation, it takes enough time, and I'm very satisfied with it." ”

Seeing the appearance of a few engineers, Zhang Lan already understood that the engine of this car is still the old engine of the past, but it is only four months, and these engineers can do this step and design such an excellent car, which is enough to show that their group of guys are indeed very real. Taking a closer look at the instrument system, Zhang Lan was immediately taken aback, because this instrument was too familiar to him, and the 16,000 rpm pointer number on it clearly showed that the engine of this car must be the ultra-high speed engine on the Alice-Ducati motorcycle, and only the engine that is almost equivalent to 400CC displacement power can drive this car.

"That," Zhang Lan was more curious about the current progress of the engine, "By the way, how is the design of the engine going now?" Well, I didn't mean to urge you, but I haven't been in the company for a long time and want to know the specific progress of the work. ”

"Oh, I'll just tell you this, I guess it's enough for you to listen to them," Hearing Zhang Lan's words, Zhang Zongjun took over, "Now the main work of the engine research department is to improve the technology of the 750CC engine of the Ural motorcycle, and try to increase the number of engine cylinders from two to four when the technical transformation is made, if this goal can be achieved, then we will be able to reduce the displacement to about 400CC while also ensuring 80% of the power output capacity of the original engine, Coupled with the impact of the weight reduction of the engine weight on the body, after the calculations of these guys, if they can hit the requirements, even if the new engine is installed on the original car, it can provide faster speed than the original car. The application of these two all-terrain vehicles will be enough to ensure that the vehicle can reach a top speed of 150 kilometers per hour. ”

Zhang Lan nodded, indicating that he understood, a very simple question, weight has a very large impact on the speed of the car, to give a very simple example, the American Ford Mustang sports car after the extreme power modification, the maximum power output can reach an astonishing 800 horsepower, by the best driver to drive this car in the British standard F1 track Silverstone Track, the time spent is one minute and forty-four seconds; And only 200 horsepower Formula Renault 2000 car, in the same place to run the same lap, but the time only takes one minute and 39 seconds, the reason why there will be a car with less horsepower to run faster, this is the result of the huge weight of the two cars, the Ford Mustang vehicle mass reached nearly two tons, while the weight of the Renault Formula 2000 car is only 480 kilograms!
