Hearing that the new motorcycle was going to be tested, many employees rushed over, and the entire test site was surrounded by a large number of people in Wuyang and Wuyang, and some of them even brought their own families over.

Many of them are workers of the former Bombardier company, and after the company was merged, except for a very small number of people, most of them stayed, and they knew that the overall economic situation in Europe and the United States was not good, so they resigned and went there to find work? Moreover, the treatment offered to them by Ambrera Company is among the best in the whole of Canada, plus the company's management is still the same as before, Ling Shizhe did not make major adjustments to them, so most of them stayed.

The two inverted three-wheeled motorcycles for road testing were the first motorcycles launched after the merger of the company, and all the employees knew that it was designed by their boss Ling Shizhe himself, and many of them personally participated in the manufacture of the car.

Allison, Foster, Christopher, and Zhou Yuanhang also came, and even Andy Anderson. Grove also came from Hong Kong, thousands of miles away. Because this motorcycle embodies the hard work of too many people in the company, if it is successful, the company's future development will be much smoother.

Ling Shizhe and other company executives did not watch in the open air with the workers, but walked up to an observation building on the edge of the site, and as soon as they sat down, the test run began.

The two test drivers waved to the employees and their families who came to watch the test drive, and everyone responded with warm applause, and then they rode their respective motorcycles. The ignition, one ignition, went very smoothly, the engine started quieter than they expected, straddled on, and the two drivers began to drive out towards the track of the proving ground......

The test car is not a racing car, there is no fierce or elaborate big scene, it is bland from beginning to end, and it is boring to watch.

First test run. So the two test riders didn't do too drastic movements, let alone drive on those particularly bad roads, but just made a few simple turns and reversing actions to test whether several parts of the motorcycle could work properly.

A few laps down the run. Back at the starting point, a large group of technicians with various instruments came up to the two, and the two test drivers handed over the two motorcycles to them, walked to the chairs on the side to rest and drink water, and looked at the smiles on the faces of the two test drivers. It seems that the effect of this test should be good.

A group of technicians tossed for more than half an hour, and the two test riders rode on the motorcycle again and started the second round of road tests, which is estimated to be a big move this time.

The results of the first round of tests also came out, Navali took the test report sent by the on-site staff, came to Ling Shizhe's side and said: "Boss, the first round of testing is very smooth, all parts of the car are running normally, the gears are very tightly occupied, and there are no signs of looseness or falling apart." The tuning and matching of the engine and transmission is also good. The two test drivers said that the bike was not strenuous at all, it was very easy and the experience was very good. ”

"How does the dual clutch perform?" Christopher on the side asked.

"The gear changes are very easy and smooth, and the whole process is automatic."

"How's the acceleration?" Brody. McCraw asked, he was the chief engineer of the GS engine, and he was very concerned about the performance of the engine.

"From the data point of view, the acceleration performance is excellent, especially the linear acceleration, and the response is very fast. The engine is very stable, and since the road tests have only just begun, we don't know how much time it will take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, but judging by the reports. It shouldn't take more than 10 seconds. And the performance of fuel saving capacity is also very impressive - the test data is 30%. Navali replied.

"What we measured in the lab was more than 40 percent." McCraw said lightly.

"It's already good, this engine is characterized by high efficiency, low fuel consumption, and low noise," Ling Shizhe interjected: "The actual road test data will always be compared with the laboratory data, there will always be some errors, if after the road test, the reliability of this GS engine meets our satisfactory requirements." I guess selling well is not a problem. ”

At the moment when everyone spoke, the second round of road tests has ended, this time it is not as easy as the first time, the two test riders including the motorcycle they are riding, the whole body is covered with dust, and even there is a lot of mud and water on the body, the two test riders took off their helmets and got off the car, all tired, they have long lost the relaxed demeanor before, this is not over, they also have to tell those staff about the experience and feelings of driving, and in the process of driving, there is nothing bad in the car.

It seems that any industry has his hard side, the test driver looks relaxed, and the new car is the first to be driven, but a few people know the hard work.

The test took a very long time, almost two hours. After the two motorcycles were cleaned, two other test drivers took over the work of the previous two test drivers and started the third round of road tests, this time it will be a real road test, which will be a real test for both the test driver and the motorcycle, and only after that, the first test can be considered a success.

According to the laws of North America, if a new car wants to be launched on the market, it is not necessary to run 1 million kilometers, it is not even thought about it, the first round of testing has just begun, and more bitter and tiring is still to come.

Ling Shizhe stayed in the Industrial City that night, and went to the Space City the next day. Now the space city is not only responsible for the manufacture of aircraft, but also the manufacture of aero engines.

"Well, can you make the thing on the picture?" In the aviation city, Ling Shizhe asked Christopher, Wang Yuanzhuo and Zhou Yuanhang.

Painted on the drawing is a nut, a new type of aviation self-locking nut.

As we all know, the nut is the most basic part of an aero engine. Different from other industrial nuts, aero engines, nuts and bolts must not be loosened, a point of loosening will fail, nuts and screws are loose and failing, and the parts that are not well assembled in place will be loose and fail, once such a situation occurs, the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, the bolts and nuts on the aero engine should fully consider the locking requirements, and a series of locking measures have been taken in the assembly process to prevent loosening, such as using cleats to lock, using the same fine steel wire locking, and even using self-locking nuts or left-handed nuts.

The so-called self-locking nut does not require a lock plate or steel wire lock. A nut that does not loosen after tightening.

The left-hand nut is relative to the right-hand nut, and the nut we see is generally the right-hand nut, and the left-hand nut is opposite to the general nut and the rotation direction of the engine rotating parts. It will become tighter and tighter as the parts turn around, so as to achieve the purpose of locking.

The locking of nuts and bolts on aero engines, and the locking of nuts on civil machinery products is also very common. The most common is to install a bolster and use the elastic force of the pad to achieve the purpose of locking.

However, the elastic pad is not reliable in locking, and there is a danger of failure due to vibration, or long-term use. Aero engines are generally used less often.

There are many rotating parts on aero engines, such as fans, compressors, turbines, etc., which have various demanding requirements for nuts. The aviation nut on the current market uses the first generation of aviation nut, which is very troublesome to install, and has high requirements for the operator, and when it comes to overhauling and dismantling, it is even more troublesome, so Ling Shizhe thought of a new self-locking nut in later generations.

This nut belongs to the third generation of nuts, which is much more advanced than the current self-locking nut and has a much higher technical content.

The reason why the engine of the later republic could not be developed was that the aviation nut was an insurmountable hurdle, even if it was the first generation of aviation self-locking nuts. The republic will not be able to produce its own products until the 21st century, and even if it is manufactured, it is a defective product, therefore. Domestic self-locking nuts are generally not used on domestic aero engines, but often imported goods.

In this way, the problem arises, once a war breaks out, the Western countries only need to embargo this nut, and all the fighters of the republic will have to lie on their stomachs and let the fighters of the Western countries carry out wanton bombing of the country. This is also why the aero engine is the pearl of modern industry, and the beauty and spare parts on it contain extremely high science and technology.

This third-generation aviation nut is known as the "nut that never loosens", this nut will not be loose even if the working environment is harsh, no matter how bad the vibration is, this nut is not only widely used in aero engines, and even has great prospects for use in the civil field.

The research and development of aero engines requires a large amount of financial support, Ambrera's jet and propulsion laboratory, and has not done anything, just the basic investment in the early stage, the costs add up to cost him almost more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the future will cost more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars to establish a complete aviation power laboratory, after entering the actual research and development of the engine, I don't know how much it will cost.

You must know that in developed countries such as Europe, the United States, and the Soviet Union, it is common for the development of aero engines to overrun; Therefore, in order to reduce the financial burden of the head office to the greatest extent, Ling Shizhe took out the third-generation aviation nut from later generations, believing that this can become a new source of revenue for the company.

In Ling Shizhe's memory, there will be no more than three companies in the world that can manufacture the third generation of aviation nuts, this kind of self-locking nut is different from ordinary nuts, the internal threaded hole of the nut is divided into two parts, there are a few buckles that are of normal shape, and the other few buckles are slightly oval, and there is a little eccentricity, the locking is by relying on these buckles are different threads, and the technical content is also on these threads.

What is the degree of ellipse, how much eccentricity, this is the core technology, don't look at the simple, in fact, the things contained in it are not simple at all. Because of this, it is extremely expensive to sell, and the market for this nut is so high that if it can be manufactured, Ambrera will unexpectedly make a net profit of at least $300 million a year.

The three of them studied the drawing for a long time, and finally Christopher said: "Boss, we have a rough idea, and it won't be long before we can get the sample out." ”

"Really? Don't blow elephants," Seeing that the three of them looked full of confidence, Ling Shizhe decided to pour a basin of cold water on them, "I also showed this picture to Navali, and he told me that there will be no more than three people in the world who can produce this kind of thing." You must know that he is also from a mechanical background. ”

Christopher smiled: "If it was before, I wouldn't dare to pack a ticket, but after years of torture of CMOS semiconductor process production lines, intelligent CNC machine tools and 24-inch silicon wafers, we have accumulated rich experience in processing various complex parts." boss, this nut is a big problem for others, but for us...... It's not a hurdle that can't be overcome. ”

Pointing to the drawings again, Christopher continued: "The difficulty of this new type of aviation nut lies in the processing and manufacturing process, and in terms of materials, the materials used in the first generation of aviation nuts are completely sufficient, as long as we put our minds into it, it can be manufactured." ”

Ling Shizhe nodded and said: "Very good, organize people to get it out as soon as possible, this will be our company's new profit growth point, after the sample comes out, we must apply for a patent as soon as possible." ”

"Okay boss, can I ask, are you going to hand him over to that subsidiary for production?"

Ling Shizhe understands what Christopher means, Ambrera Seiko Department is not only responsible for the manufacturing of CMOS semiconductor equipment, but also responsible for the production of ECU, ABS, EDB, automobile engines and other automotive precision parts, but a few days ago Ling Shizhe decided to spin off Seiko Company and form a new company for auto parts, so Christopher asked tactfully today whether this kind of nut could be produced by them.

"Christopher, don't fight it, you know, this nut, I'm here to earn research funding for the Jet and Propulsion Laboratory, I can't give it to you." Ling Shizhe said resolutely, "I have decided to split the auto parts department of Seiko Company and merge it with the aviation power department to form Ambrera Precision Parts Company." This third-generation nut is the first product of the precision parts company. ”

"Who's going to be in charge of this company?"

Ling Shizhe pointed to Wang Yuanzhuo and said, "Wang Yuanzhuo is the first president of Ambrera Precision Parts Company. ”

"What about the aviation power company, is it revoked?" Wang Yuanzhuo asked, he was not surprised by Ling Shizhe's arrangement, as early as a few days ago, Ling Shizhe had talked to him, hoping that he could take the position of president of the new company.

Ling Shizhe replied: "Keep it, two brands for one unit, and after the aviation power department grows up, then decide whether to go out independently." Oh, the company is registered in Taiwan/Bay, understand? (To be continued.) )xh118
