After the R&D backbones of Dongfang Qiyang discovered the shortcomings in themselves, it was easier for Duke to integrate automotive R&D resources, first of all, to build a computing center with strong computing power, to establish a complete set of research environment according to Duke's cloud application method, and to purchase and develop various automotive design assistance systems.

Now the most important thing in Dongfang Qiyang is money, tens of billions of funds injected from SAL and Hong Kong's Li family, originally mainly invested in the transformation and upgrading of the production line, but now the acquisition of Opel is very promising, the production line transformation project will be temporarily stopped, waiting for the results of the acquisition activities, and now the main focus is on the comprehensive research and development of new intelligent models.

After billions of yuan are invested, the automotive electronics R&D personnel of Sirius Company, who are accustomed to the cloud application R&D model of the supercomputing center, do not feel anything, but the R&D personnel of Dongfang Qiyang, who have always lived a tight life, are very uncomfortable in the face of the rapid development of external conditions for R&D.

This new R&D environment built according to the standards of the world's top automotive R&D centers, equipped with a lot of advanced assistance software, requires them to take time to learn and adapt, watching the colleagues from Sirius skillfully use a variety of advanced R&D assistance systems, Dongfang Qiyang's R&D personnel can only work overtime to learn to shorten this gap.

After unifying the R&D environment and establishing an expert research support team, Duke can effectively explain its own R&D ideas and some immature implementations, and let the following R&D teams realize and verify, so that the R&D of smart cars can be on the right track and start to keep up with the fast track of Duke R&D.

Duke has just completed the integration, and Cai Siqiang has already taken over the famous Austrian A.VL engine design company, as well as a large domestic internal combustion engine manufacturing plant, both of which belong to the independent operation of Oriental Dynamics Co., Ltd. under Sirius, and Cai Siqiang is ready to build it into a core supplier of automotive electronic equipment and engines for Oriental Qiyang in the future.

With the production of standard parts of Yuanda bearing, the supply of basic materials of Xincheng Special Steel, and the manufacturing of processing equipment of Shenda machine tools, inadvertently, Cai Siqiang has completed a big layout in the upstream of Dongfang Qiyang.

A.VL has a large number of engine patents, has designed thousands of different types of engines for different manufacturers around the world, and has a very rich knowledge accumulation and precipitation in engine design, manufacturing and testing.

In terms of the scope of its business, its current business encompasses the entire engine development process from concept to design, testing and finally series production. It has a series of complete and professional supporting departments such as engine design, engine acoustics, engine engineering simulation calculation, gasoline engine performance development and diesel engine performance development, engine calibration, vehicle tuning and matching, etc., which can assist customers to solve special problems in the development of engines and vehicle powertrains, develop prototypes, improve test engines and finalize mass production engines.

To be able to win such a world-class engine design company, although Cai Siqiang spared no expense, but it provided a high-starting point design platform for Sirius to intervene in the engine field, and many high-level mature engine design solutions can basically be used, which greatly shortens the engine research and development cycle.

When the two companies were integrated and established, a large number of researchers from A.VL company were mobilized to Dongfang Power's internal combustion engine manufacturing plant to cooperate with the technical transformation project, from the material requirements to the manufacturing process are all operated in accordance with world-class standards, with the support of Shenda machine tool and Xincheng Special Steel, A.VL R & D personnel were surprised to find that there are extremely advanced raw materials and processing technology for automobile manufacturing in China unconsciously.

For example, the crankshaft crank of the engine machining CNC machine tools, all of a sudden the machining accuracy has been improved to dozens of hundreds of times, although these R & D personnel have also heard of China's domestic Shenda machine tool technology has made great progress in the past two years, but did not expect that the progress is so great one by one This is Cai Siqiang for the back door of Dongfang Power, agree that they use the best products of Shenda machine tools, after all, most of the orders in the military industry have been satisfied, and now they have begun to gradually open up into the high-end civilian industry applications.

As a subsidiary of SAL's subsidiary, Dongfang Power has of course obtained this right of first refusal.

Among the more than a dozen main types of special steel produced by Xincheng Special Steel, it is also very easy for A.VL personnel to choose several materials suitable for engine manufacturing.

A production line by a large number of advanced high-precision CNC machine tools to re-occupy the production and processing position, a phase of the design of an annual output of one million sets of engines, the second phase of the annual output of three million sets of engines of the new factory in full swing construction, according to the construction progress, a phase of the transformation project can be completed in half a year, after all, the acquisition of the internal combustion engine plant originally had such a large production capacity and floor area, most of the need to change is the upgrading of processing machine tools, of course, more important is the silver of white flowers.

And these things are the most lacking of SAL company, the machine tool Shenda company gives priority to provide, and the capital is only the huge amount of money raised by Sirius listed on the market, after the acquisition of several companies still has a huge surplus, can fully ensure the capital needs of Oriental power, if it is not for some CNC machining center A.VL personnel to customize, this transformation project will be completed earlier.

Because of such good upstream resources, the A.VL R&D personnel, who are already subsidiaries of SAL, are ready to develop a CNC machining center that is more suitable for engine manufacturing with Shenda machine tool researchers from the perspective of efficiency, rather than directly using a general-purpose machining center, although the latter can also do the same thing after adjusting the programming application, but the efficiency is not the same.

While upgrading the production line, they are carrying out the trial production of several main engines to be produced in the future, from 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 ordinary engines to 1.8T, 2.0T, 2.5T turbocharged engines, Dongfang Power will provide a full line of engine products for the future Dongfang Qiyang Automobile, fully covering various models of new models from 10-300,000 yuan price range.

It can be said that regardless of whether Dongfang Qiyang wins or does not win Opel, Duke and Cai Siqiang provide an extremely critical supporting environment for Dongfang Qiyang's new intelligent models, one is the brain of the car, the other is the heart engine of the car.

With these two things, Dongfang Qiyang is destined to embark on a fast lane of development, of course, with the new platform of Opel, Dongfang Qiyang can go faster and more solid.
