"This is Alexandre from the University of Modena? Rector Gasparley, this is Peter from the Faculty of Engineering? Dean Charis, they all have the title of professor conferred by the Italian Academy of Sciences! Ferruccio introduced Lin to several scholars with kind smiles and kind faces standing at the school gate.

Lin Qiangsheng met them at the gate of the campus, and he saw that the principal of the University of Modena, who had a lot of weight, came forward in person, which shows that the partner school with Lamborghini attaches great importance to this time, and Lin Qiangsheng is also very satisfied with this.

Rector Gasparre warmly stretched out his hands and said: "Welcome Mr. Lin to our University of Modena, I hope this visit will bring you a pleasant feeling, and I sincerely wish our cooperation can be successful!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook hands with Gasparé and Peter and said with a smile: "I hope that the University of Modena can have in-depth scientific research cooperation with Lamborghini, which is the purpose of my coming here, to build a high-level laboratory!" ”

"We're more than happy to do it!" Peter smiled so hard that the wrinkles on his face opened, and he said enthusiastically: "We've wanted to work with companies like Lamborghini for a long time, and we've supported some of your projects, but they're all very small!" Our School of Engineering has the ability to reach a higher level of technology related to supercars, thank you Mr. Lin for giving us this opportunity! ”

The two professors were followed by other university personnel, who shook hands with Lin Qiangsheng, and then Gaspar led the group to visit the School of Engineering.

"We have a faculty of engineering on both the Reggio campus, but the Modena campus is stronger, and the disciplines here are more mechanical, and the electronics are more focused, while the Reggio campus is a stronger chemical school. But no matter which campus we have, we have a good mutual support and cooperative relationship, and we also have experimental projects to develop together! Peter said, introducing the School of Engineering.

Mr. Lin, there are more than 300 professors, associate professors, lecturers, and nearly 1,000 researchers and graduate students in the School of Engineering. Our scientific research and experimental equipment is also very advanced, the school strives to keep track of the international advanced level, you see our fluid mechanics laboratory. Based on the latest experimental equipment, we can use the computer to calculate the optimal shape of the car. The drag coefficient per square meter of the surface of the car is measured by measuring the wind through the sensor! Peter pointed to a large experiment and said proudly with Lin Johnson.

Lin Qiangsheng looked at this is a miniature wind tunnel laboratory, the so-called miniature wind tunnel is a reduced car model wind tunnel, the construction cost of this wind tunnel is very cost-effective, but the accuracy of the calculation is relatively low. Some large car companies have their own physical car wind tunnels, which often invest more than hundreds of millions of dollars, such as Mercedes-Benz's car wind tunnel, whose fan diameter is 8.5m. The electric power of the fan is up to 4,000 kW, and the air flow speed in the wind tunnel is up to 270 km/h. It often costs hundreds of millions of dollars or even more than $1 billion to build a wind tunnel of this size, and the cost of each car wind tunnel test is also considerable.

Lamborghini used to design cars through other companies, most notably the Italian design company to which Giugiaro belonged. Of course, Lamborghini also has its own miniature wind tunnel laboratory, and Lin Johnson invested in building one in the new factory, but he has no plans to build that wind tunnel for physical cars.

Back in the early 70's, GM used a mainframe computer to conduct automotive fluid experiments, and at that time this kind of calculation also required a mainframe computer, and with the rapid development of integrated circuit technology, there are now a few microcomputers and a small server to do this kind of work!

The development of computers has facilitated automobile companies to carry out some preliminary tests on computers, and the use of computer technology has greatly reduced the cost of automobile research and development. The most significant benefit is the reduction in R&D time!

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said with a smile: "You are very well prepared, Lamborghini has found a very good partner!" ”

Peter and Gasparé smiled at each other and showed a look of delight, they were also looking forward to cooperating with several famous supercar companies in the city, but people thought that the status of the University of Modena was high and the price was too high to have a private laboratory, so Ferrari, Maserati and other companies simply found their own people to develop it.

The University of Modena has nothing to do with these companies, but to watch sadly as these sports car companies drool as they give up a lot of research money to private research institutes!

And now Lamborghini has finally come to them to cooperate, which makes the rector Gaspar and the professors and researchers of the Faculty of Engineering very happy!

"We at the University of Modena have a history of more than 800 years. Many great personalities were born here, such as Bernardino Lamazzini, the father of occupational medicine, the great poet Dante, the founder of modern Italian! Based in the city of Modena, the University of Modena gives full play to its geographical advantages, and is guided by the development of science and technology and the regional economy, promoting the transformation of traditional disciplines into high-tech, and the close integration of education and industrial chain. Build a comprehensive university discipline system" Gaspar gushed to Lin Qiangsheng to introduce the school concept, his subdued Italian is very beautiful, but Lin Qiangsheng listened to a lot of people did not understand, there are many unfamiliar terms popping up to make him scratch his head.

"Okay, Gasparé, you can rest for a while and we'll visit other places!" Ferruccio listened impatiently, and quickly interrupted Gasparé.

"Ah, okay! Peter, the school has prepared a rich lunch for Mr. Lin. You take Mr. Lin to visit the campus first, and I will pick out a bottle of good wine that I have treasured for many years for the guests who come from afar! Gasparé said to Peter in a high voice, even with a rhythm in his voice.

"You're so welcoming, Principal Gasparé!" Lin Qiangsheng smiled and thanked.

"No, no, as the most distinguished guest of the University of Modena, we naturally want to make you feel the greatest sincerity!" Gasparé said enthusiastically.

"I'm afraid this old guy is going crazy with joy!" Ferruccio looked at Gasparé's back.

"It is said that Lamborghini has invested $150 million in the construction of a new plant!" Peter said with a smile on his face as he looked at Ferruccio.

Ferruccio nodded in surprise and said, "Uh-huh." We've also added some new equipment and renovated the old factory, which is no secret in tiny Modena! ”

Peter watched Lin Qiangsheng being led by researchers to visit the laboratory, and he whispered to Ferruccio: "Now Italy's economy is in a recession, you know!" We at the University of Modena are also in great need of such investors! How's that, old fellow, help us! ”

Ferruccio thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "It depends on what that person means, now he is the boss, you know that I have always been poor, looking for money everywhere, and I have only recently become richer!" He is indeed very generous, and I am sure that the collaborative lab will be established soon! ”

"Then it's good to say, look at the mind of this young man from the East has been moved by us! Let's hope there aren't any surprises! Peter nodded heavily, he very much hoped that Lamborghini would cooperate with the engineering school. In today's financially stretched period, it is not easy for the School of Engineering to catch a generous investor!

Lin Qiangsheng was very satisfied with the visit to the Institute of Engineering, and he found that although the city of Modena is small, the university is a veritable famous school!

How to say, such a small city has never heard of it before, but it has a world-famous university. According to the Italian University Rankings, the University of Modena is ranked among the best in many subjects, and it is ranked 2nd in Italy for literature, 3rd in economics, 4th in agriculture, 8th in medicine, 10th in engineering, and 14th in pharmacy!

And in the United States, many college students usually take courses, and Italian literature is at the top of the list!

In particular, the School of Engineering here is also very powerful, with many research laboratories in mechanics and electronics, especially the faculty and the knowledge level of graduate students here have left a deep impression on Lin Qiangsheng. Each supervisor has two or three graduate students, and the supervisors are responsible for fewer students, which can improve the quality of teaching.

After Gasparé arranged a delicious meal, Lin Qiangsheng was even more satisfied with the University of Modena, and he decided to set up a Lamborghini Automotive Technology Research and Development Foundation, to which he invested 100 million US dollars, and then the fund cooperated with the University of Modena to establish a laboratory to develop new automotive technologies.

Why is it so troublesome, because in Europe and the United States, it is easy for various foundations to avoid taxes, and it is easier for a foundation to mobilize funds.

"The foundation's finances will not be exhausted, I will always invest in this fund, and I welcome educated teachers and students of the University of Modena to participate in the development of Lamborghini!" Lin Johnson's heroic to Gaspar and Peter? Challis announced.

"Thanks to Mr. Lin's support, the cooperation with Lamborghini S.p.A. is a new turning point in the development of the University of Modena's practical education and enterprise cooperation, and I believe that this great cooperation must be a new chapter in the history of the University of Modena!" Gasparé was very happy, he was indeed right, the University of Modena because of its in-depth cooperation with Lamborghini soon made the Italian media and even the entire European media reacquaint themselves with this famous institution with a long history, which not only produced Dante is the second in Italian literature, but also has an advanced Lamborghini laboratory!

Lin Qiangsheng said to Gasparé: "In addition to the cooperation between us in the construction of the laboratory, the foundation will also send technical researchers to the laboratory, and I hope that the University of Modena will arrange them!" ”

Of course, these investments cannot be swallowed by the Italians alone, Lin Johnson has many research institutions and R&D personnel and researchers in China. Because of the gap between domestic and foreign countries, those people have been limited in thinking and innovation, and they are also somewhat backward and insufficient in terms of knowledge structure. This cooperation with the University of Modena is just a good time for some people to further their studies at the University of Modena, and it is also a plan to let technicians go abroad to study abroad!

"No problem, the basis of cooperation is based on mutual benefit, and of course we know that Lamborghini will send researchers!" Gasparre laughed. He is still rejoicing at the new chapter of the University of Modena, and he does not know what other car companies such as Ferrari and Maserati will think after working with Lamborghini.

Gasparé is convinced that after Lamborghini, the University of Modena will definitely win more collaborators, and the light is ahead!

"Very good, thank you Principal Gasparé, Professor Peter!" Lin Qiangsheng smiled, and he greeted Gasparé and Peter? Challus said, raising his glass. (To be continued......)
