Chapter 461 Development and Progress
It is still necessary to maintain enough deterrence against these guys, and to make these guys realize that the company is not only going to play with the yang, but also to come to the yin. If you follow the rules, then congratulations, you will have a good life; If you don't follow the rules, congratulations, chances are you'll be the next person to meet that guy you don't see.
"Save the information of this engine, if you can, the engine used in the Dakar Rally, let Brother Zhu improve on the basis of this engine." Zhang Lan whispered, "How about it, can it?" β
"There should be no problem," Xiao Chenxi nodded slightly, "I took a look, this engine is indeed the best engine in the company at present, and the potential for improvement is relatively large, there is no big problem." Saying that, he smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter if you have a problem, anyway, there is Brother Zhuzi to help you, and if you have a problem, I will change it for you." β
"That's right," suddenly remembered something, Zhang Lan hurriedly added, "Didn't our company have a gasoline engine in-cylinder direct injection technology (FSI technology) given by Brother Zhuzi, and this time it was simply applied to this engine, which is not bad as an important publicity selling point!" β
Volkswagen Group came up with a cylinder direct injection technology, but that is used in the diesel engine, that is, the so-called TDI cylinder direct injection diesel engine of Volkswagen, in fact, the diesel engine has long used the cylinder direct injection technology, but the Volkswagen TDI series diesel engine on the basis of the existing diesel engine to achieve lower emissions, more powerful power, greater torque output range.
But I have to say that Volkswagen's technology is really good, in the car engine, under the same displacement, the diesel engine is more than the gasoline engine in terms of maximum output power and maximum torque output, are more than the gasoline engine; And most importantly, the exhaust emissions of diesel engines are almost half of those of gasoline engines, and diesel engines have been called "green" engines in foreign countries.
Or can you be higher than a Volkswagen TDI sedan with a diesel engine? Zhang Lan thought. After all, energy saving is also a trend in the future. Well, after these guys are busy, they have been working on this since the time was ripe. As for now, think about the domestic oil products, the content of sulfur and impurities in diesel fuel has reached more than 500, and the sulfur and impurity content of European diesel in the same period is only 20-30. But if you want to promote this technology in China, forget it, this technology is still more promising in Europe, which pays more attention to environmental protection.
As for now. Alice Group is in an absolute leading position in gasoline engine cylinder direct injection technology, there is no gasoline engine cylinder direct injection technology in the world, Alice Group has already applied for a patent for this technology, it is foreseeable that the FSI gasoline engine independently developed by Volkswagen Group will not come out, even if this technology is used in the future, it is also authorized by Alice Group's technology, and if the public really wants to use this technology, it is necessary to send money to Alice Group.
Perhaps the Japanese, who are good at crookedness, would like to come up with a similar technology and give it a new name. This seems to be a good idea, but at the beginning of the patent application, Zhang Lan had already applied for the relevant patents, blocking all the ways and not giving anyone a chance to exploit the loopholes.
Although the gasoline engine in-cylinder direct injection technology requires very high gasoline oil quality, this is precisely not what the Dakar Rally is worried about, because this race is fueled by the event organizers for all the cars, and it is all 98#+ gasoline, and there is no better gasoline than this.
Such a good oil is an excellent weapon to play the direct injection technology in the cylinder.
"You look treacherous!" Xiao Chenxi looked at Zhang Lan with disdain. "On the one hand, I advertise my engine, on the other hand, I promote my new technology, and with the help of Brother Zhuzi, as long as the driver you find is not too bad, you can achieve a better result in next year's Dakar Rally. It is guaranteed that the company's engine will also grow with its fame. At that time, it is estimated that just coming to the door and asking our company to authorize this technology will make you a lot of money. β
"That's it." Zhang Lan was triumphant, and her contempt for Xiao Chenxi was consciously regarded as a compliment to herself. "As for making money, hehe, just make some pocket money."
"What are you two talking about?" Zhang Zongjun poked his head over, "Look at how open you are."
"Oh," Xiao Chenxi and Zhang Lan glanced at each other, and lied together, even saying the same thing, "We are saying, with this engine, it marks a new level of our company's technical research and development strength." By the way, isn't there a few other engines that the company has started working on at the same time? How's the project progressing now? β
At the same time as the 3.6-litre naturally aspirated V-six-cylinder all-aluminium engine, there were several other research tasks: to study the all-aluminium engines of the previous two 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre engines.
In addition, three new research missions were introduced: the 2.4-litre V-6 naturally aspirated engine, the 4.2-litre V-8 naturally aspirated engine and the 4.7-litre V-8 naturally aspirated engine.
Three engines, each of which had to be produced in two series: a cast iron engine and an all-aluminum engine. The cast iron engine represents the current mature technology, and the all-aluminum engine represents the advanced technology of the future.
In addition to these research tasks, the elder Andre was not idle, he also had to improve the all-aluminum of the engines at hand, in order to be more suitable for the country's requirements for emissions.
These three newly developed engines, together with the company's original four engines, plus the 6.2-liter engine mastered by Andre Sr., the company has a total of eight different engine series, from 1.8-liter turbocharged engines to 6.2-liter naturally aspirated. If further subdivided, for different markets can also launch different categories of engines, such as the same 2.4 liter engine, in order to further control the cost, to adapt to the current situation of low domestic oil products, you can choose to use a relatively poor cast iron engine that does not have much to do with it, and in foreign authorized Ford production models can use more advanced technology all-aluminum engine. ,
It's not that Zhang Lan is unpatriotic, he must push out the good things, and keep the next things for his own use, but if the all-aluminum engine is used in China, the low-quality gasoline will significantly reduce the actual service life of the all-aluminum engine. In this case, instead of wearing a technologically advanced but flashy hat, it is better to use a more "spicy" cast iron engine, and the owner of the car can also get more benefits.
"Well, I almost forgot," Zhang Zongjun patted his forehead, "It seems that the development is almost done, except for the 4.7-liter V8 engine that is still solving the problems encountered, the other engines have all entered the final finishing stage," Seeing that Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi seemed to be more interested in this one, they couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't we go and have a look together?" β
Then go check it out! Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi glanced at each other: Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle, so let's go around to relieve your boredom.
The company's demand for these engines is not urgent, so the working hours for these designers are quite generous, although the entire engine design and research center is busy, but everyone is busy in an orderly manner, busy but not chaotic, there is no busy as if the general guy who is being picked up by a dog.
Petrovich is now completely corrected. Although this guy may not be the best in the field of engine technology, when it comes to engine design, this guy is definitely a genius among geniuses, and his imagination in engine technology research is amazing. Many of the problems encountered in the engine development process are probably a suggestion from this guy that solves the problems that have plagued everyone for a long time.
In line with the principle that talents can not be wasted, after stepping on this guy hard and being completely honest, the company kept promoting this guy, and this guy slowly climbed to the current position from the engine design consultant to the leader of a single engine research and design project team: the chief engine R&D designer of the engine design and R&D center of the Alice Group Comprehensive Applied Science and Technology Research Institute, He is responsible for the design and research of various engines in the Engine Design and Research Center of the entire Alice Institute of Applied Science and Technology.
In terms of its treatment, Alice Group is not stingy at all, and Petrovich enjoys the same treatment as the director of the design and development center. In order to satisfy this guy's little vanity, he also gave her the status of honorary president of the engine design and development center of Alice Group - the so-called honorary dean is naturally a title of dean, and in fact, he can't care about anything, just an honorary title, but Petrovich is happy with it.
If this guy has management talents, maybe now this guy is already the dean of the engine design and development center, but it's a pity, this guy's smart head may be grown on how to engage in the engine, he himself is a model of super high IQ and super low EQ, almost ignorant in other aspects, naΓ―ve like a child, stupid, well, the word "stupid" is too ugly, or change a noun, it is better to replace it with "pure", this guy is pure like a blank piece of paper.
Petrovich is well aware of his shortcomings and knows that he can't do management work, and the entire position that the company has arranged for him now is the most suitable for him.
