Chapter 579 The Revolutionary Friendship of the Proletariat

Sure enough, it was really the engine on the Jill-41047!

Rao was already mentally prepared, but Chen Geng was still a little surprised: Gil-41047 was the highest-grade bulletproof sedan used by the current supreme leadership of the Soviet Union, and many of the things on it were top secret. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, after thinking about it, Chen Geng was relieved: it is true that the Gil-41047 and the Gil-41052, which has just been put into use, use this engine, but even if you tell you the power and torque of the engine, what is the use? Do you know the gear ratio setting? Do you know the setting of the interrupt gear ratio? Do you know what special treatments were applied to the engines installed on the Gil-41047 and Gil-41052? Do you know how the protection of the whole vehicle is arranged? Do you know the recipe and manufacturing process of bulletproof glass and bulletproof armor? These things are things that even the CIA in the United States has not figured out, but Chen Geng doesn't think that the CIA will not know the maximum power and torque of this engine.

To put it bluntly, you know that these are not useful at all, for a super-high-level bulletproof car for national leaders, the powertrain is of course very important, but compared to other safety equipment on the vehicle, the importance and secrecy level of this subsystem is far from as many people think.

"That's amazing!" Chen Geng's face was amazed, and then he said casually: "Our own V8 engine can only output a maximum power of 220 horsepower. ”

"Hmm......" Bulgakov was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "You can also produce V8 engines?" ”

This situation was somewhat unexpected by Bulgakov and other leading comrades of the Likhachev Automobile Plant, and after doing some understanding of the udine Runhua A6L, they thought that Runhua Industry could only produce in-line six-cylinder gasoline engines and V8 engines? They hadn't thought about it at all, but now it seems that the situation is a little different from what they thought.

"Of course," Chen Geng didn't seem to notice Bulgakov's astonishment, and explained to him very seriously: "Our Runhua Industry introduced the V8 engine technology on the Dahongqi sedan from our country's FAW, and now it is close to mass production -- well, I chatted with the comrades of FAW, and when I talked about the Soviet comrades, they were very grateful to the Soviet Union and your Likhachev Automobile Factory for their support. ”

That makes sense. Bulgakov knew about the CA770 Hongqi sedan produced by FAW, which was indeed equipped with a V8 engine with a displacement of 5.65L.

On the other hand, other comrades in the surrounding Likhachev Automobile Factory could not help but sigh with emotion and embarrassment when they heard Chen Geng talk about the past of the Likhachev Automobile Factory, which was still called the Stalin Automobile Factory at that time, and China's FAW......

At this time, Chen Geng felt that the time was almost up, and took the initiative to clarify the intention of this visit: "Comrade Bulgakov and all respected comrades, these two days of inspection have given me a deeper understanding and understanding of the Likhachev Automobile Factory, which is an automobile manufacturing enterprise with a profound historical heritage and technology accumulation, and I think that we can carry out more in-depth technical exchanges and cooperation in more places." ”

"Conducting technical exchanges and cooperation? Of course," Bulgakov and others at the Likhachev Automobile Factory had been waiting for Chen Geng's words for a long time, and when they heard this, they immediately asked: "But I don't know if Comrade Chen Geng has any specific direction of cooperation?" But is it this engine? With all due respect, if it's this engine, I have to regret to tell you that this one probably won't work. ”

I knew it was so!

Chen Geng was not surprised, smiled slightly, and said: "Runhua Industry has its own V8 engine, although the performance is slightly worse, but it can also meet our needs at this stage, yes, we hope to strengthen cooperation with Likhachev Automobile Factory in automatic transmission technology." ”

"Automatic?" Bulgakov was stunned.

Krestinsky and a group of leaders of the Likhachev Automobile Factory were also stunned: they imagined all kinds of possibilities, but the only thing they didn't expect was that the direction of cooperation with Runhua Industry turned out to be automatic transmission.

Can the Likhachev Automobile Factory produce and manufacture automatic transmissions?

The answer is: of course.

The Gil-41047 and Gil-41052 high-end bulletproof sedans produced by the Likhachev Automobile Factory for the use of the top leadership of the Soviet Union are equipped with a three-speed automatic transmission, although compared with the European counterparts in the high-end cars generally use the 4-speed automatic transmission, this three-speed automatic transmission is indeed a little cold, but it cannot be denied some highlights of this gearbox, such as material technology and structural strength: the maximum input torque of this gearbox is 608 Nm, Considering that this is intended for the country's leaders, there must be plenty of torque margin to ensure reliability, and at a conservative 20% (maybe 30%), this gearbox can withstand a minimum of 760 Nm of maximum input torque!

Chen Geng thinks it is very likely that it will be able to operate reliably even when the torque is more than 800 Nm.

This one is terrible!

In the late 80s, or even the entire 90s, there were no three AT gearboxes in the world that could withstand such a large torque, and the requirements for materials and processing skills were absolutely demanding! It's no wonder that the Likhachev Automobile Factory is using a seemingly backward three-speed automatic transmission instead of a four-speed automatic transmission that its European counterparts seem to be advanced, and everything is based on reliability.

Of course, Lao Maozi may not be willing to take out this automatic transmission to cooperate with him, but even if he can get an automatic transmission with a maximum input torque of 400 Nm and torque converter technology, it will make a lot of money.

"That's right, it's an automatic transmission." Chen Geng nodded affirmatively.

Bulgakov and his colleagues looked at each other, and there was some disappointment in their eyes: how could it be an automatic transmission?

After seeing the models in production of Runhua Industrial, Likhachev Automobile Factory knew very wisely that Runhua Industrial would not introduce passenger cars from itself, but what about trucks? Trucks are not without opportunities, and trucks have always been the strength of the Likhachev Automobile Factory.

They are very sure that Runhua Industry is here to inspect their trucks, and it would be better if they could reach an agreement on the export of complete vehicles, but who would have thought that people came in the spirit of the automatic transmission of the Likhachev Automobile Factory - Nima has the meaning of wool?!

How valuable can an automatic transmission be? Lao Maozi, who has no market economy thinking at all, felt a little embarrassed that he had eaten and drunk so many good things brought by Chen Geng in the past few days, and said: "Well, well, if it's just automatic transmission technology, this is simple, so let's give this technology to you for the sake of the great proletarian revolutionary friendship that we both share." ”

"Give it to us?" Chen Geng was extremely surprised: This happiness came too suddenly, right?

"An automatic gearbox, this is nothing," Bulgakov waved his hand indifferently: "That's it......"

"Uh...... That's right, we at Runhua Industrial are actually already developing our own automatic transmission, and the main design work has been completed, but we have encountered some problems in terms of the material of the torque converter......"

So that's it!

Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Bulgakov became more and more disappointed: it was they who encountered obstacles in terms of materials and processing skills! Compared with teaching Runhua Industry how to make an automatic transmission by hand, I don't know how much lower the difficulty is.

The material of the automatic transmission and the corresponding processing technology are not too difficult technology, the key point is that compared with the huge Likhachev automobile factory, Chen Geng's small request is nothing at all, asking for money? That's not shameful enough, when did the great Soviets even see this bit of technology? Without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, he immediately said: "Then it's simpler, well, I'll arrange it when I go back, and hand over the relevant material formulas and manufacturing processes to you, as for the cost...... Well, it would be nice to give us another car gift. ”

"Yes, yes, just two more carts of gifts," Bulgakov's hardcore dogleg Krestinsky immediately added: "There can be more liquor, especially that Erguotou and Moutai." ”

Again, although the Soviet Union still seems to be in full swing, some problems have been revealed, such as the supply of daily necessities and non-staple food, etc., Runhua Industry brought everyone this "gift" of this carriage, but it really made everyone have a good year.

A bunch of drunkards!

Chen Geng couldn't cry or laugh: What about the great friendship of the proletariat? It's just that his words have not yet been finished: "Then I will thank you comrades, well, that's the case, can you send a few experts to help us?" ”

"Of course, it's all a minor problem," Bulgakov was a little impatient and simply stopped going around in circles? bluntly asked Chen Geng: "Chen, don't you have any other projects you want to cooperate with?" Well, not only for civilian use, but also for the military. ”

After entering the 80s, because of the international situation and other reasons, China and the Soviet Union, which had been in a state of cold war, had a clear desire to improve, from the early 80s to this year, the relations between the two countries have come to the verge of normalization, why would the KGB be so concerned about the visit of Runhua Industrial to the Likhachev Automobile Factory? It was because the Soviet leadership believed that the arrival of Runhua Industry had a special mission.

Let's just say that this is really a beautiful misunderstanding. (To be continued.) )
