Chapter 167: Technical Differences [One More Requests for a Monthly Pass]

It's really not easy to update in the early morning, let's give a few monthly passes!

Jin Xiaoqiang sent the new drawings back to Nanyang and handed them over to Liu Hong, as well as Wang Guoqiang, and Li Qiming who were doing research and development.

It was originally a very smooth thing, but recently in the final stage of research and development, this expert group had a certain disagreement, which made Jin Xiaoqiang feel very surprised.

The main reason for the disagreement is whether this engine uses an inline 4-cylinder or a V6 6-cylinder, which is the basis of the engine.

And there are also some troubles in the power matching, mainly Jin Xiaoqiang did not explain clearly, originally he was also pondering, whether it is directly adopted, the current company developed a more mature 6AT transmission, or the use of 6-speed DCT dual-clutch transmission is better.

In fact, the issue of the transmission is also a problem that Jin Xiaoqiang has always considered, and he himself has not thought it through.

Now he will have a video conference with Nanyang's R&D personnel every night, and everyone has also had a concentrated discussion on the current issues, but there has been no argument to come up with a result, so he can only wait for Jin Xiaoqiang to go back to make a decision.

Although Jin Xiaoqiang and Wang Guoqiang reconciled in the middle, in this dispute, Mr. Liu and Li Qiming still quarreled, and the most critical point involved the concepts and concepts of the two of them about cars.

The drawings of the ecoboost engine that Jin Xiaoqiang sent back this time are the pioneering work of the ecoboost engine launched by Ford in 2008.

At that time, for the all-out attack of the combination of TSI+DSG launched by Volkswagen of Germany, as well as the trouble of being mired in the quagmire after the economic crisis, Ford decided to develop a new engine to resist the pressing of Volkswagen and other car manufacturers, and reversed Ford's image of oil tiger in the hearts of world consumers in one fell swoop. A concept integrated into one engine.

And with the strong technical heritage of the Americans, this engine was born a year later, and he was named the EcoBoost engine.

And this engine solves the problem of turbo lag that the engine with turbocharger said to face at that time, and it also integrates direct injection technology into this engine very well.

The first member of his family, equipped with twin-turbo technology, is a 3.5L displacement engine, and the power and torque that this engine can provide has reached 355 horsepower and 474 Nm, which is more than the power and torque of the old naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 4.6L, and in terms of energy saving and emission reduction, it is not comparable to the old engine.

The drawings provided by Jin Xiaoqiang are the drawings of this engine, but what he didn't expect is that it is the number of cylinders and displacement of this engine that will cause such a strong debate in the expert group of Nanyang Power.

As a senior engineer who once worked in General Motors in the United States, Li Qiming has been in contact with and participated in the design and development of many new GM engines, and he has personally participated in the design of such large-displacement engines.

But now he is the engineer who is most opposed to this development, which Jin Xiaoqiang did not expect that Li Qiming's point of view is like this.

At present, the engines of mainstream family cars on the market are in-line L4, that is, ordinary 4-cylinder engines, and the future trend is also to call for energy conservation and emission reduction, and the 4-cylinder engine has added a certain amount of high-tech technology packaging, and the power and torque data it can provide is not weaker than the 6-cylinder engine of V6.

And with the development of the future automobile market of the Celestial Empire, there will be more and more users who buy cars, and with the increase in the number of cars, the Celestial Empire will definitely face the situation of energy shortage in the future, so they should develop a 4-cylinder Ecoboost engine, rather than a V6 six-cylinder engine, so as to conform to the trend of future development and keep up with the pace of future automotive technology development.

But Mr. Liu does not agree with Li Qiming's point of view, you must know that although the old man has been engaged in diesel engines all his life, he also has a considerable foundation and understanding of gasoline engine technology.

At present, the mainstream of domestic automobile engine technology research and development is indeed 4-cylinder, but in the research and development of high-power engines, especially 6-cylinder, the V6 engine used in high-end models in the world, there is no automobile company or engine research and development enterprise that can do it.

The drawings 'designed' by Jin Xiaoqiang this time, in his old man's opinion, are completely a shocking breakthrough, which is definitely an important breakthrough for the automobile manufacturing enterprises of the Celestial Empire.

And in the old man's view, the design breakthrough of this 6-cylinder engine can even be called a milestone breakthrough, you must know that BMW Mercedes-Benz has made the engine 8 cylinders, or 10 cylinders, and what is even more awesome is that some sports cars have even made the engine 12 cylinders.

It is true that such an engine cannot be popularized in large quantities, but it is this kind of research and development that can bring technology accumulation to your company and lay a good foundation for future technological breakthroughs.

You must know that such a multi-cylinder engine can not only be used in automobiles, if you can enlarge it according to specifications, such a technology can be used in the diesel engine of large trucks, or construction machinery, or military industry.

At present, China's military technology has always been stagnant, and it is precisely because of the technological blockade of some countries in the world that hostile technology to the Celestial Empire has caused the slow progress of our national defense science and technology.

Don't look old, but in the early years, he was a national treasure of the country's diesel engine research and development personnel, and he once participated in the research and development of major national projects.

There are many military engines, such as those used in tanks and military vehicles, and he has participated in the research work, but most of those breakthroughs have ended in failure, and there are many reasons for this, there are human factors, and there are objective factors.

And the most severe objective factor he has experienced, is that the technology is not in place, and the backwardness of the design concept has not broken through, although they have also made some achievements, but compared with the foreign products of the same era, but in the technical surname is not satisfactory, so the old man's heart, has been holding a fire.

The V6 designed by Jin Xiaoqiang, EcoBoost engine, in the old man's view, is an earth-shattering breakthrough in technology, if this engine can be developed, it can not only be used in civilian cars.

Even in the future, it can be converted into a diesel engine and directly used in many military vehicles, and the failure of some military research that the old man participated in a few years ago has been an unspeakable pain in the heart of the old man.

And Jin Xiaoqiang's design made him see hope, especially the hope of the engine of the Celestial Empire to make a breakthrough in becoming bigger and stronger.

Although this V6 engine is indeed fuel-efficient, it does have the fuel consumption that ordinary consumers can afford in the future, but for the development of some military industries that the company may be involved in in the future, this engine does have an indescribable benefit.

You must know that the current domestic military vehicles are generally Mitsubishi Pajero, or Pajero's domestic twin sister Changfeng Cheetah, and in recent years, because of Mitsubishi's frequent gearbox and brake accidents, as well as his indifferent attitude of not treating the people of the Celestial Empire as human beings at all, many military leaders have begun to study and upgrade the troop vehicles.

At present, this intention is only discussed internally, if there is a conclusion at that time, if Huayang Power can have something to do, then it will definitely be able to participate in this gluttonous feast.

You must know that although the order profit of the army is relatively low, the number is absolutely large enough, and the most important thing is to be able to let the army of our Celestial Empire drive its own domestic cars, which is an absolute face-saving thing.

Moreover, the army's requirements for power are not ordinarily vigorous, and you must know that the engines needed by the troops, especially in terms of small displacement engines, are not only engines for automobiles, but also engines for speedboats, engines for military transport vehicles, and even engines for tanks.

At the very least, there are airplanes, and engines for ships, and even engines for rocket ships, and so on.

And those large-displacement engines can not only be used in the military industry, such as large construction machinery, large excavators, large bulldozers, large drilling machines, pump trucks, cranes, etc., these are all required large-displacement engines to do the most fundamental power support.

Therefore, in the old man's view, the development of the V6 engine is just a breakthrough in the surname of an attempt, and a good accumulation of technology, after this, Huayang Power should study the engine with a larger displacement, and strive to make the power bigger and stronger, so as to grow into a real heavy industry enterprise.

If you look at the world's famous heavy industry groups, such as Mitsubishi, General Motors, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, which are not inextricably linked with the country and the military?

Therefore, if Huayang Power wants to become bigger and stronger in the future, it should develop in these directions.

And Li Qiming thinks that these ideas of the old man are completely fantastical, under the system of the Celestial Empire, Huayang Power still wants to participate in the state's and even the military's research, and contract bidding?

That's too unrealistic!

The point of view of the two can be described as the tip of the needle against Mai Mang, no one wants to let it, and even Li Qiming once relied on the sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and once made the old man angry with his blood pressure, and almost lost his breath to a cerebral hemorrhage.

What's more, this guy also used Jin Xiaoqiang's drawings to develop an in-line 4-cylinder ecoboost engine by himself!
