"That's what the company should do!" Zhang Lan didn't blush and replied, "The company will provide all possible convenience for your research." ”

Listening to this guy's meaning, it seems that someone else is begging him to study, as if he is great and noble, and how selfless he is. The thickness of this guy's face set a new world record at this moment.

Hearing this, even Zhang Zongjun, Alice, and Xiao Chenxi, who were on the side, blushed for him, but Engineer Li seemed to be unaware, and his face was deformed excitedly.

In the middle of October, the Alice Motorcycle Team returned to China after completing its 12-race campaign around the world. In this year's race, Alice Motorcycle Team achieved another great result, achieving the fourth place in the annual team points standings, compared to last year, although it is only one place, but as a new team that has only participated in the competition for two years, the new team can no longer be new, and it can be imagined how difficult it is to achieve the fourth place in the World Superbike Championship!

The results were glorious, but that's all in the past, and from next year onwards, the team will face the biggest opportunity since the team's founding, but it can also be said to be the biggest test: the team has already qualified for the highest level of the World Superbike Championship!

In other words, the Alice team will no longer be able to compete with a 250cc displacement car next year, and will instead compete in the 750cc and above class, which is the WSBK class. The Alice-Ducati Diana MARK-5S motorcycle, which has accompanied the Alice Motorcycle Team for consecutive seasons, will officially retire from the team next year.

Alice Group has not yet launched a supercar above 750cc, and if the team wants to participate in next year's World Superbike Championship, it must determine the team's participation before January next year, and there are only two ways: whether to use its own products, or use the superbike purchased from other motorcycle companies to modify it as its own team's participating car.

Similarly, the teams participating in the World Superbike Championship are waiting for news from Alice Motorcycle Team to see how they solve their problems.

Someone is worried about the Alice motorcycle team. Naturally, there are people waiting to see the jokes of the Alice motorcycle team. Despicable and obscene Japan is naturally the first to bear the brunt, and even the Japanese media have begun to gloat and assert that there is no way for the Alice motorcycle team to develop its own race car before the teams report to the organizing committee next year, and it will use the superbikes sold by other motorcycle manufacturers to be modified and used as their own team's racing cars!

As a private fleet all the time. It doesn't matter which motorcycle manufacturer's car is used as your team's car, but as a manufacturer's team, if your company's team uses another company's car, it will be a great shame for the company!

But one thing that's awkward at the moment is. It is also a fact that the company does not have such a large-displacement supercar.

Although the company even introduced a 2,000-cc super-heavy motorcycle at the International Motorcycle Show, those cars were all heavy-duty luxury tourers, not supercars for the World Superbike Championship, and the company doesn't have a model like that now.

For this problem, there is no one who is most anxious than the Alice motorcycle team. But although they were in a hurry, they were not confused, because they already knew that the company's high-power motorcycle sports car engine had been successfully developed, and a higher-power engine was about to be developed.

It's not a short time before the final registration date for the big race, and everyone is convinced that it's going to be on the track next year. The Alice Motorcycle Team will be able to compete with its own cars.

Zhang Lan also hesitated for a long time about this issue, but finally decided to use her own company's car. The 750 cc in-line four-cylinder water-cooled EFI engine has been successfully developed, and the more powerful 1200 ml in-line four-cylinder water-cooled EFI engine has been successfully developed and is doing the final test work, and if there is no problem, the engine can be put into use within a week.

In the racing department, Zhang Lan had already instructed them to start the development of the body, and even in order to speed up their work progress, Zhang Lan personally drew a few appearance drawings of later superbikes for their reference. The blueprints of these motorcycles are all examples of the perfect blend of aerodynamics and mechanical aesthetics.

During this period, the V-twin engine series developed by the Hiryakov group and the multi-cylinder water-cooled engine series developed by Maxim as the team leader, a total of 10 engines in the two series were finally developed. After testing, all met or exceeded the company's requirements, and everything was perfect. Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi, and Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the time finally caught up!

After developing the most difficult 1200 cc water-cooled four-stroke inline four-cylinder EFI engine, the company immediately assigned him a new task: to assist the racing design department in the design of the racing car at the same time. And on the basis of this 1200cc displacement engine, it has been improved and designed to be more suitable for the World Superbike Championship!

Finally, in the middle of November, the designers of the racing design department told Zhang Lan that the design of the body has been done and has been simulated and tested, and the two most important indicators, drag coefficient and weight, are the best of all the racing bodies.

At the same time, Maxim also informed Zhang Lan that the re-optimized in-line four-cylinder water-cooled four-stroke EFI engine with a displacement of 1200 cc for the team has been optimized and has undergone the most rigorous tests, and everything is perfect!

The latest ceramic engine casing is also applied to this engine, and the weight of the entire engine is 5 kg lighter! 5 kg! What a staggering number for a racing engine!

The process of merging the body with the engine went smoothly, and by the beginning of December, the design of the entire car had been completed, and after detailed testing and testing, everyone including the team members and researchers were raving about the car! Lian said that this was the most perfect car he had ever seen, and the perfection seemed to be from the hand of God.

The new design of the race car is available in two versions, one for the civilian market, with a displacement of 1,200 cc in-line four-cylinder water-cooled four-stroke EFI engine originally developed by Maxim; The other is a car specially developed for the Alice Motorcycle Team to compete in the World Superbike Championship.

Although the two cars look exactly the same – thanks to the World Superbike Championship regulations, which stipulate that the racing car must be modified from an existing model on the market – there are some differences in the performance of the engines, which are lighter and more powerful! Of course, the whole vehicle is also much lighter than the cars sold in the civilian market, and the two cars are also incomparable in terms of cost.

At the same time, the company's newly developed vehicles based on these newly developed engines have also been fully developed. In particular, the launch of the new "Vulcan" and "Tyrannosaurus" two super heavy-duty cruising prince cars with a new V-twin cylinder water-cooled EFI engine with a displacement of 2000 ml has made Zhang Lan satisfied.

Zhang Lan didn't believe it, with these two cars, how could he not tick off the soul of the paranoid Americans who like V-twin engine motorcycles?

At 10 a.m. on January 1, 1993, in Beijing, China and New York, USA, Alice Group held a new car launch and this year's Alice Motorcycle Team Race Car Launch Conference at the same time. Well, it's a bit inappropriate to say that it was the same time, because of the time difference, the press conference on both sides was held at 10 a.m. Although it was 10 a.m., there was a difference of 13 hours.

At the Beijing press conference, before the press conference was officially held, in front of the high press press conference, there were twelve brand-new motorcycles surrounded by the staff, in addition to the original equipment of the four 2000 ml water-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder EFI engines "Mobile Castle", "Super Mobile Castle", "Vulcan" and "Tyrannosaurus", there are also new "Vulcan" and new "Tyrannosaurus" equipped with V-twin water-cooled EFI engines.

In addition to the looks of these cars, the Alice Group also launched five Prince Cruisers equipped with new V-twin engines and four sports cars equipped with multi-cylinder water-cooled engines.

At the same time, so many models were released at the same time, all of which were heavy-duty locomotives with an exhaust of more than 250 ml, and even super heavy-duty locomotives with a displacement of 2000 ml.

Not only that, the proudest point is that each model is equipped with the latest engine developed by Alice Group, and even each engine fills the gap in the corresponding technology of domestic engines.

As for the advent of the V-twin water-cooled EFI engine with a displacement of 2000 cc and the in-line four-cylinder water-cooled EFI engine with a displacement of 1200 ml, it has filled the gap in the world's motorcycle technology!
