A few days ago, Zhou Yuanchao went to Australia with a group of more potential personnel and went to the studio over there for training.

And he was also over there to take those people hand-in-hand for a month, so that those people were familiar with the working environment.

The purpose of those people going to the studio in Australia is to learn from the design philosophy of those Australians, not their attitude to life.

In Li Yifan's view, the life and work attitude of these Aussies is absolutely not worth learning, coming to work at nine o'clock in the morning, having a morning tea at half past ten, working for an hour is lunch time, and having afternoon tea in the afternoon.

In short, a day is eight hours of work, but in fact, the time they actually work is only four or five hours.

And they also have high wages, high benefits, paid leave every year, never overtime, in short, in addition to their design concepts and creativity, in Li Yifan's view, these guys are a group of unscrupulous waste.

If it weren't for the automatic transmission for DSI's 6, he wouldn't have bothered to take care of these grandsons.

But there is one thing you have to be convinced, that is, the design ideas and creativity of these people, which has always been a short board for domestic designers.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with our educational environment, and now cramming education has also stifled the innovation ability of domestic designers to a large extent, of course, this is all in the big picture.

Now he's going to do it. It is to restore the innovation ability of these domestic designers.

Li Yifan waited here for more than a week. Zhou Yuanchao finally came back from Australia. He is also a workaholic, and the day after returning home, he immediately came to the company to check on the progress of the work.

After all, he is only in his early forties, which is a good time to do his career, and he is also very ambitious, otherwise he would not give up his high-paying job in Australia and return to China.

And Li Yifan has been waiting for him for a long time, and after meeting Zhou Yuanchao, he was first under his leadership. Took a look at his power transmission department.

This is a newly built team, and Yang Rong also attached great importance to transmission production and research and development in the past, but then he changed his thinking, and he planned to subcontract this part.

And he planned to set up a special accessories company somewhere in the south, which was one of the main reasons why he angered the conservatives in the northern provinces.

In fact, Li Yifan is not particularly opposed to Yang Rong's thinking, after all, in the current era of rampant protectionism in China, if you don't build branches in other provinces and cities, or build some spare parts factories, then your car wants to enter the local market. It will definitely be quite difficult and hindered.

However, it is possible to see factories and parts factories, and this R&D center and design center. He didn't plan to move out, and it was best to keep such a studio in the palm of his hand.

So he put this power and transmission department in the old factory area of Chenhua Automobile, the new factory production department has been built, and in the near future, there will be a few high-rise buildings there, which are specially reserved for the company's engine research and development department and power transmission department.

But construction has not started there yet, so this design department is now temporarily using a few old buildings in the old factory area.

But even so, the conditions are much better than before, in the past, the power transmission department of Chenhua Automobile occupied half a floor, the office space was very small, and the real room was even more nonsense.

But now that Li Yifan has taken over, they not only have their own set of special office buildings, as well as rest areas, but also have real venues, which makes all R&D and design personnel very satisfied.

Although these people who are staying behind now are the first batch of people selected by Zhou Yuanchao, these people are very enthusiastic about their work.

After Zhou Yuanchao left, the first task left for them was to thoroughly understand the technology of the five-speed manual automatic transmission that Li Yifan got from Saab, and they have completed it very well.

Although they are all some old guys in their thirties and forties, their enthusiasm for work has not diminished at all, so they have taken over this part of the data, and in a few months, they have thoroughly eaten nearly 60% of the progress of the technical data.

"In fact, the research and development of the transmission is not the same as the engine, the working situation of the engine is more complex, and the design of all aspects of the parts and components have to consider a lot, and the transmission, to put it bluntly, is so many gears, bearings, and the shell of the gearbox, in fact, all the gearboxes on the market now, it seems to have patent protection, but in fact, it is not a big deal, what really bothers many manufacturers, in fact, is the processing capacity and mass production capacity. When it comes to a gearbox, even if the gear is high, in fact, our domestic workers can also do it, but it is purely manual, if it is said that large-scale mechanized mass production, it may not be realistic, after all, our machining capacity can not reach. On the other hand, it is still a cliché of materials, what material of alloy steel is used, in what part, what kind of material is used, so that the weight of the transmission can be reduced to the lowest at the same time, but also to ensure the maximum transmission efficiency of the transmission, these are the problems that have been plaguing us before, but now Mr. Li, you have helped us solve the machining and material problems, and the rest of the things are much easier. ”

After Zhou Yuanchao accompanied Li Yifan around several practical rooms, he returned to his office with Li Yifan, and explained to Li Yifan as soon as he sat down.

In fact, Li Yifan has always been very strange about the speed of these engineers, you must know that the engine technology he got from Saab is in place almost at the same time as the transmission technology.

But Lao Liang's research and replication of the engine speed is much fuller, and their talents, and resources have been tilted a lot, and the transmission transmission department, although they have also given a lot of resources to tilt, but in terms of strength, it is still not as much as Lao Liang's engine research and development department, but the progress here is faster, so he is very curious.

Now that Zhou Yuanchao gave him such an explanation, he felt as if he understood a lot.

"In fact, this transmission is the same as the engine, the most difficult part, first of all, the material, then the finishing, and the machining of large quantities, now these two are not a problem, then the rest is the last item, that is, like the engine, a large number of accumulation. Automatic transmissions are not the same as manual transmissions, which require an electronic control program to control the timing of gear switching, which is the most common TCU on the transmission, to put it bluntly, it is the same program as the driving computer ECU, and this TCU is to work with the ECU, and Mr. Li, the two sides of these materials you get, the number of records about this TCU is very mature, so they don't need to start from the very basics like Lao Liang and them. After all, what they want to do is a system of knowledge, which will be a series of engine configurations that the company needs in the future. That's the number of days, we have to wait for them to deal with it, and what we have to do is the number of a five-speed transmission, and the information you got has a lot of numbers, all of which are the numbers of engines with different displacements, and what we have to do now is to eat all these numbers thoroughly, and then approach the possible optimization. So the speed will be much faster than Lao Liang them. ”

The explanation given by Zhou Yuanchao can be regarded as answering Li Yifan's questions.

"And, in our opinion, the difference between this five-speed automatic transmission and the six-speed automatic transmission, that's not at all an equal order. According to the current market, the speed of the popularization of high-grade transmissions, this five-speed manual transmission has only a few years of life on the market, so it is not too worthy of our attention. ”

Regarding the view of the five-speed automatic transmission, Zhou Yuanchao's opinion actually coincides with Li Yifan, he can have such a vision, it is because he has been engaged in this industry for many years.

And Li Yifan has such an opinion, which is entirely because he has more than ten years of life experience than today.

Since the birth of this five-speed automatic transmission, it has been destined to be a role that is not loved by grandma and uncle.

The four-speed automatic transmission was born after World War II and was used until 2000, and it has a very long life and is a classic.

On the basis of the development of General Motors, the world's major automobile companies have carried out deep excavation and many improvements to this transmission, and the best one is Aisin Seiko.

The five-speed automatic transmission, in fact, in the eyes of many professionals, is just a transition from a four-speed automatic transmission to a six-speed automatic transmission.

Because the upgrade from fourth gear to sixth gear, the transformation of the interior of the automatic transmission is quite large, and the cost of such an upgrade will be very high, so only upgrading one gear is more than worth the loss in the eyes of many people, and it is better to upgrade one more.

But if you want to upgrade one more, it takes a long time to study and practice, so the five-speed automatic transmission was born as a transitional product at this time.

In the original history, a few years later, when Volkswagen popularized their DSG transmission, soon the employment of six-speed automatic transmissions followed.

At this time, the five-speed automatic transmission was gradually eliminated from the market, of course, in China, there are still many companies in use, after all, the five-speed automatic transmission, for them who do not have independent design and processing capabilities, is also a high-end goods.

And Li Yifan's abacus is such a broken thing, even if he can't use it in the future, there are still many people who need him. (To be continued......)
