The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

At the same time that Wang Haoran reached a cooperation agreement with Beijing Automobile Company, Fengtian Automobile also accelerated its progress.

They no longer made random demands, but instead accepted the conditions given by Wang Mingshan: Fengtian Automobile and Jingcheng Automobile would each invest 50% to establish a joint venture and build a large-scale joint venture automobile manufacturing plant in an appropriate location in Beijing.

During the process of cooperation between Fengtian and Beijing Auto, Feng Tianjing also visited Longguo many times.

He personally presided over the negotiations.

He personally signed the cooperation agreement and personally mobilized Fengtian's capable core management team.

People from Fengtian have actually visited the workshop of Beijing Auto and feel that with a little modification, modern assembly and production can actually be carried out.

Then, after the joint venture agreement is reached, we can immediately start importing spare parts from Jiaoben and assemble them in Longguo. At most, we just need to change the label, and then we can start producing joint venture cars quickly. In that way, we can expand Longguo's automobile market before Volkswagen.

This is exactly what Feng Tianjingye wanted.

However, the reality is really cruel.

During the negotiation process, he found out that the headquarters of Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant had already carried out in-depth cooperation with Pangu Technology, a domestic enterprise in Longguo.

Therefore, the joint venture factory between Fengtian and Beijing Capital Automobile needs to find other land for reconstruction.

This is a construction process.

In addition, Fengtian’s joint venture was required to produce at least 60 percent of its parts locally in Longguo within five years, which was a very tough clause.

If it fails to achieve this goal within five years, Fengtian will face the fate of being forced to withdraw from the Longguo market.

Feng Tianjing really didn't want to sign this clause.

However, if you don’t sign, Fengtian can forget about coming in.

Feng Tianjing was also helpless, but he had no choice but to accept this condition.

After signing the agreement, Feng Tianjing returned to his hometown and held a meeting with the Toyota management team.

Feng Tianjing also said in a serious tone during the meeting: "Dear colleagues, in order to enter the Longguo market more smoothly, we have paid a heavy price this time!"

"This time, we must speed up and push the joint venture factory to be built and put into production as soon as possible!"

"Our target opponent is the public!"

"As long as we can suppress Volkswagen, we will most likely occupy at least 50% of the Longguo automobile market in the future!"

"Guys, this is a super big business!"

“So, please try your best!”

……

After Jiaoben Fengtian Company and Beijing Capital Automobile signed a joint venture agreement, Volkswagen was the first to know the news.

Volkswagen also attaches great importance to the Longguo market at this moment.

They even sent Volkswagen Group's vice president Kaisers to serve as the president of the joint venture of Shanghai Volkswagen.

Kaisers is currently speeding up the construction of the factory and accelerating the bidding for the localization of parts.

At this moment, the masses are being suppressed by Feng Tian all over the world.

They suffered a series of setbacks in the Judaic market and were also severely suppressed in other important markets.

Even brands such as Fengtian have entered the European market in a big way and started to seize Volkswagen's most important market.

The pressure from the public is huge.

They urgently need to find new markets, expand and achieve great success.

Therefore, Volkswagen chose the opportunity of localizing and expanding the Dragon Country market at all costs.

All their work now revolves around this center.

When Kaisers heard that Fengtian was also coming in, he was even a little panicked.

He also convened a meeting in Longguo, at which he said with a heavy face: "Ladies and gentlemen, not long ago, I got a piece of news: Fengtian Company has also formed a joint venture with Jingcheng Automobile!"

"This shows that Fengtian has finally made up its mind to localize production in response to Longguo's new tax policy."

"Fengtian is our powerful opponent all over the world!"

"The fact that they chose to sign a joint venture agreement with Longguo's Jingcheng Automobile Company almost immediately shows one thing: they are specifically targeting us!"

"They are trying to continue to suppress us and squeeze our market share!"

"Faced with this pressure, we must never back down!"

"We must do a good job in all aspects and launch localized models as soon as possible to gain the support and recognition of Longguo consumers as soon as possible..."

Just like that, Fengtian and Dazhong came into direct conflict again in Longguo.

This also attracted the attention of media around the world.

The New York Times even published an article on its front page: Toyota and Volkswagen both entered Long Country at the same time to start localized production. Who will have the last laugh?

After comprehensive analysis, this article draws a conclusion: Fengtian will probably continue to win in the competition, while the public will continue to sink.

The declining masses will eventually be left behind by Fengtian at a faster pace.

The second point of this article is: Longguo’s domestic automobile market will be divided up by Hans and Foot Basin cars! Longguo’s domestic automobile manufacturers will go bankrupt in three years at most!

Of course, the Chinese auto companies that have established joint ventures with foreign auto giants will continue to exist, but they will become useless. Apart from reaping the benefits of the joint ventures, they will have no motivation to produce truly Chinese-made cars.

……

Wang Haoran is personally developing a car engine in the test workshop.

If a car engine wants to save fuel, then it must make great efforts to improve the fuel efficiency ratio.

In today's China and even in the world, cars still commonly use carburetors to supply fuel.

The reason why the carburetor fuel supply device has been criticized is mainly because it is relatively "sickly". If it is a little dirty, it will easily lead to high fuel consumption. It is also difficult to start in winter. If the car is not warmed up, it will be difficult to drive.

Moreover, the carburetor is a thing that tests the driver's driving skills. The fuel consumption difference between a novice and an experienced driver is quite large.

In addition, in terms of power performance, carburetors cannot compare with electronic fuel injection.

Of course, there are also environmental considerations.

The fuel consumption of a carburetor engine is basically much higher than that of an electronic fuel injection engine.

The Mercedes-Benz Group, led by Dai Hongtao, had already started researching the electronic fuel injection system last year!

However, it is indeed a bit unbelievable that the engines of Beijing Automobile Factory are still using carburetors and have no plans for research and development.

There are three types of electronic fuel injection systems: manifold injection, direct injection and mixed injection.

The electronically controlled fuel supply system appeared very early, as early as 1955, and was used on Mercedes-Benz.

However, the electronic fuel injection system that could truly achieve precise control and significantly improve fuel economy had to wait until 1996, when Mitsubishi developed the first electronic gasoline direct injection system, which significantly saved fuel.

In other words: the reason why this electronically controlled direct injection system was able to mature in the late 90s was actually because the electronic chip technology had matured at that time, and mature electronic control programs could be used to achieve more scientific and reasonable fuel supply.

The maturity of in-cylinder electronically controlled direct injection technology marks the pinnacle of development of internal combustion engine technology.

When Wang Haoran drew out the engine of his own design and was about to start manufacturing it in the test workshop, Cao Hanhua came to report to him on the renovation of the Beijing Automobile Factory.

Wang Haoran asked Cao Hanhua to look at his design and asked if he had any suggestions. After Cao Hanhua looked at the design, he was surprised: "Is the carburetor removed from this machine?"

"If we don't use carburetors, it would be like subverting the entire engine technology."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Carburetors are a bit outdated. Although they are still relatively common now, we still need to work hard to tune a better engine."

Cao Hanhua shook his head and said, "But I always feel that your design is not right."

"This is to inject fuel directly into the cylinder. If it's not well controlled, the fuel consumption may be much higher than that of a carburetor, right?"

If the carburetor fuel supply device is well tuned, it can actually save a lot of fuel.

For example, the car can travel 212 kilometers per 12 kilometers with only liters of fuel, which is quite good in this era.

Of course, if you don't drive well, it's normal to use 20 to 30 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.

But the good thing about the electronic fuel injection system is that it is very stable, and no matter who drives it, the fuel consumption performance will probably not be much different.

Moreover, the electronic fuel injection system basically does not require the car to be warmed up, and it can be driven straight away. The performance of the car is much better than that of the carburetor.

Wang Haoran began to patiently explain to him how to use chips and fixed programs to control the fuel injector and the intake valve, so that the air and oil can be fully mixed through high-pressure injection and the compression ratio can be greatly improved, which can achieve the purpose of improving thermal efficiency and mechanical efficiency.

Cao Hanhua listened very carefully and took notes in a notebook while listening.

"That is to say, electronic chips will also be widely used in automobiles in the future? Is that right?" Cao Hanhua asked.

Wang Haoran smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes! Full use of electronic technology can often improve the efficiency of machines."

"The reason why I use electronically controlled direct injection is that it is very helpful to increase the compression ratio."

"Comrade Hanhua, after I build the engine in the experimental factory, you can come and witness it!"

"I can guarantee that with this technology, your 212's fuel consumption will be greatly reduced, perhaps to half of the previous fuel consumption or even lower!"

Cao Hanhua was obviously a little unconvinced: "The fuel consumption of 212 is only about 12 per kilometers, which is not too much, right?"

"We have such a big off-road vehicle."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "If it uses the new engine we designed, I can reduce its fuel consumption on the highway to 6 liters per kilometers or even lower!"

Cao Hanhua said: "If we can really achieve this fuel consumption, it will be much lower than the fuel consumption of a foot basin car, right?"

In fact, the so-called fuel-efficient car, taking Corolla as an example, now consumes about 8.4 liters of fuel per kilometers!

This is already a very fuel-efficient performance, you can imagine it.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Don't be superstitious about foot basin cars."

"In fact, in the 1960s, they were mocked by the Lizardmen as industrial waste!"

The first direct injection engine designed by Wang Haoran adopted a naturally aspirated mode.

The engine displacement is 2.0 liters.

The displacement here refers to the total volume of all cylinders of the engine.

Natural aspiration refers to a form of air being pressed into the combustion chamber without passing through any supercharger.

A large displacement generally means that the engine releases more energy per unit time and has better power.

With the equipment in Wang Haoran's experimental factory workshop, it is quite easy to manufacture an engine prototype.

It only took him two days to build a 2.0-liter direct injection engine.

After the engine was built, Wang Haoran immediately conducted a test run.

That is to see how its performance in all aspects is.

There are quite a lot of engine testing items.

For example, the idle test is to test the engine's idle stability and idle emissions.

The power test is to test the engine's power and economy under full load, etc.

In short, there are dozens of test items.

The test lasted a full week, and overall, the engine performed very well.

Cao Hanhua also participated in the testing.

After he looked at all the parameters of the test, he was very surprised.

Because this engine performs very well in all aspects, the engine runs stably, the sealing between the piston group and the cylinder is very good, and the idle fuel consumption is only 0.8 liters per hour!
This is a 2.0-liter engine. Generally speaking, the idle fuel consumption is around 2 liters.

Cao Hanhua participated in all the tests and said to Wang Haoran: "Comrade Haoran, I am now completely convinced by you."

"It seems that this electronically controlled direct injection technology is indeed much better than the carburetor fuel supply device."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "If we want to tune a fuel-efficient car, it is definitely not enough to just focus on the engine. We also need to get a more advanced gearbox."

At present, most of the gearboxes in China use foreign technology.

Of course, this requires paying money to foreign companies.

After much deliberation, Wang Haoran decided to directly take out a manual transmission that ZF had launched in the early 2000s in his previous life.

ZF manual transmission was highly praised in the market in the past, and many car enthusiasts liked it.

After the engine and gearbox were completed, Wang Haoran led the team to complete the design of the chassis, wheel suspension and appearance of the car.

In terms of appearance design, Wang Haoran thinks it should be made into a business-style model, because nowadays cars are basically a symbol of status.

There isn't that much personality to show off.

The main thing is that the appearance is stable, grand and solemn, which is enough.

Therefore, Wang Haoran decided to copy the appearance of the seventh-generation Passat.

The exterior design is very simple and stable, with tough lines running through every detail of the car body.

It still looks very imposing.

Wang Haoran feels that the appearance of the seventh-generation Passat is undoubtedly his favorite.

Therefore, Wang Haoran finally finalized the first car model he developed.

The car is 4.865 meters long, 1.8 meters wide, 1.47 meters high, and has a wheelbase of 2.812 meters.

After Wang Haoran and his team finished all the process drawings, they began to build prototype cars piecemeal in the workshop.

Because of the availability of equipment such as die forging presses, spare parts, car bodies, frames, etc. can be manufactured very quickly.

In less than ten days, a beautiful prototype car was built.

As soon as this prototype rolled off the assembly line, all of Wang Haoran's team members were shocked.

Because it is so beautiful, the black paint is so shiny that it is almost dazzling.

Cao Hanhua was of course also present at the scene. He stared with wide eyes at the high-end-looking car in front of him and was extremely surprised.
