Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for power.

At the end of February, Jin Xiaoqiang finally got this improved version of the engine done.

Looking at this completely lightweight, all-aluminum alloy engine, Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't help but sigh for a while, although the biggest credit for this engine is still on his own big open gold finger, but there are also other workers in the factory hard work.

The trial production project of the new engine not only tested the casting process and machining process of the whole factory, but also made a breakthrough in many aspects.

Especially in terms of the aluminum alloy manufacturing process of the whole body, you must know that this is the mainstream direction of the world's engine development at present and in a few years.

In fact, aluminum engines are not necessarily better than cast iron engines, especially in terms of anti-explosion and high temperature resistance, and friction cooling is also a big problem.

Although oil cooling technology has been developed in the world, the most obvious effect of this technology is to burn engine oil, especially the aluminum engines of Volkswagen and Ford, which have always been famous for burning engine oil.

But why will aluminum engines continue to be mainstream in the future?

As a person who has come over, Jin Xiaoqiang is very clear about this point, which is of course related to the depleting oil resources in the world, and there is a very important reason, that is, people pay more and more attention to the concept of environmental protection.

One of the most obvious advantages of an aluminum engine over a cast iron engine is that its own weight can be reduced to 60 percent or more than that of a cast iron engine.

And it is his lightweight, in order to make the car achieve the purpose of fuel saving, you must know that if the weight of each car is reduced by 10 percent, then it can save 6 percent of fuel, and the noise in driving will also be reduced by 2 percent.

Therefore, if the engine is made of all-aluminum alloy, the fuel consumption will be 10% or more smaller than that of the engine made of cast iron, and the sound noise will be significantly controlled.

Therefore, this aluminum alloy engine will definitely become the mainstream development direction of the engine in the future.

At present, Jin Xiaoqiang's Huayang Power, the successful trial production of aluminum alloy engines, this is definitely no less than their breakthrough in engine localization.

In the trial production process of this aluminum alloy engine, many people played a vital role, especially Ding Weizhong and Yang Dingwei.

Since the last time they developed the aluminum alloy cylinder head of the Octavia's 1.6L engine, the two masters have been thinking about how to produce an all-aluminum engine.

In the end, after several months of public relations, the two finally developed a set of molding processes.

That is, first use the FDM system that Jin Xiaoqiang got from Yueben, that is, the rapid prototyping system, to make samples, and then quickly remake silicone molds with samples, and then use silicone molds to make wax molds.

Then the wax mold is taken to a small vacuum making machine to pour the aluminum alloy workpiece, because the silicone mold can be reused and mass-produced, so this mold-making work saves a lot of time and cost.

When encountering large parts such as cylinder blocks, the FDM system is used to make the prototype directly, and then the rapid prototype is used for investment molding, so that the metal prototype can be obtained.

The invention of such a set of technological processes, for Jin Xiaoqiang, is simply like a tiger with wings, you must know that although there are many domestic manufacturers in the study of the aluminum alloy workpiece production process and processing technology, but has not made any progress.

At present, the most successful manufacturer of aluminum alloy engines is Yueben, but he himself is secretive to us in this regard, and he has never thought of providing us with such a process.

Therefore, the invention of these two masters can be described as invaluable to Jin Xiaoqiang.

After watching and understanding the manufacturing process of the two masters, Jin Xiaoqiang immediately signed a long-term contract with the two masters, and then sent the patents of the two masters and many of their patents of Huayang Power to many departments at home and abroad for patent applications.

At the same time, Jin Xiaoqiang also gave the two masters, each with a bonus of one million, and signed a contract, as long as the factory is still using this process for the processing of aluminum alloy engines in the future, then the two will get five percent of the profits from the income of each aluminum alloy engine.

Ding Weizhong and Yang Dingwei, two masters, have been engaged in research and manufacturing work all their lives, but when have they ever been treated with such attention?

Isn't that a small amount of 1 million in the first year? The most important thing is the profit of the long stream of water in the back!

Both of them are not fools, how would they refuse Jin Xiaoqiang's conditions, they immediately signed a contract with Jin Xiaoqiang, and expressed their willingness to work in the factory until retirement.

And in this research and development work, Wang Guoqiang and Li Qiming have played a very key role, so Jin Xiaoqiang is of course not stingy with rewards.

In the end, for the research and development of this new engine, Jin Xiaoqiang invested no more than 10 million yuan in funds and bonuses alone.

To outsiders, this may seem like a lot of money, but in Jin Xiaoqiang's eyes, the money is simply worth it, and it is not expensive at all.

You must know that in these years, you want to engage in the research and development of an engine with such a surname, if you can successfully develop it, at least you will have to invest about a year, and tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds.

But in the case of his Jin Xiaoqiang driving a golden finger, such an engine only took a few months to make, and it only cost 10 million inside and out, is it worth it for such an investment?

Except for the turbine, which uses Honeywell's Garrett series, the rest can be said to be all domestic, and such a domestic engine, as long as it can be put on the market, it will definitely cause a sensation.

At present, not to mention domestic independent brands, and large joint ventures can't make such an engine, even if it is a world-class car company, it is estimated that it will take a while to come up with an engine that can compete with this engine.

After tuning the ECU, the peak output of 300 hp and the peak torque of 350 Nm have reached 2.0 Nm, which is definitely not a target that any engine can achieve.

Of course, in the future, when selling small, Jin Xiaoqiang will of course make restrictions on the ECU, otherwise with such a strong output power, not everyone can control the car, and the power is too large, which obviously does not comply with some laws and regulations of the country.

But as long as this car is famous, then those car enthusiasts abroad will not care about your laws of the Celestial Empire......

The engine was built, and Jin Xiaoqiang copied a ZF six-speed manual transmission, so that the powertrain of any car participating in the Nürburgring circuit was completed.

The rest is assembly, as for the model, Jin Xiaoqiang of course chose the main Yidong sedan that they will launch this year, the chassis is still the classic corner king of the horse 6, and Jin Xiaoqiang also made some special adjustments, so that this car will be more stable when driving, especially when cornering at high speed.

When I was busy with this car, it was already the middle of March 04, and at this time, the goods sent by Bosch and ABB foreign suppliers were basically in place.

And the installation and commissioning work of those European engineers has basically been completed, after all, there are many people, you must know that at the beginning of the year, Wang Jiao helped Jin Xiaoqiang recruit no less than 1,000 workers, of which they were originally skilled workers, accounting for 80 percent.

Fortunately, Nanyang City was originally a heavy industrial city, and the closure of major state-owned factories in recent years has led to many skilled workers being laid off at home.

With the help of these skilled workers, the construction of the factory is progressing rapidly, and the equipment on the production department has been installed, and it is currently in the stage of commissioning and trial production and personnel training.

On the side of the steel plant, Jin Xiaoqiang invested about 100 million yuan in a big stroke of the pen and took down all the waste factories around the original steel plant, forming the core part of Huayang Power.

That is, the special metal smelting department and the powertrain R&D department, these two departments are the most important departments for the future Huayang Power.

One is specialized in basic science, that is, the research of materials science and the manufacture of special steels, while the other is specialized in engine technology, as well as automobile shape design and vehicle manufacturing process.

This new core department also covers an area of 60,000 acres, and the total cost is about 350 million yuan, including more than 100 million yuan of land, and more than 100 million yuan of construction plants and test departments.

There are also tens of millions of dollars that Jin Xiaoqiang entrusted Naruto to be cautious and quietly purchased experimental instruments and special steel smelting equipment in this book.

This cost is not too big at present, and this does not include the cost of the 200 sets of machine tools he purchased from Yueben before, which is just the initial investment in the laboratory and special steel smelting.

After that, Jin Xiaoqiang's conservative estimate is that at least 500 million yuan will be invested here to purchase equipment.

During this time, Huayang Power has repeatedly made big moves in Nanyang City, invested a lot of money, and recruited a wide range of troops, although Huayang Power is not yet well-known in the domestic industry, but in Nanyang City, it is already a little famous, especially in Nanyang's automotive industry, their name can never be said to be small.

At present, not counting the vehicle manufacturing lines purchased by Jin Xiaoqiang from abroad, they have spent more than 800 million yuan on the construction of land and new factories alone, and if they add more than 1 billion yuan or so spent on equipment procurement abroad, they have already spent more than 2 billion yuan of funds into it.

This is also thanks to Jin Xiaoqiang's ruthlessness in Hong Kong some time ago, otherwise he may not be able to hold it a long time ago, after all, his company is now in a state of zero output
