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

Cao Hanhua walked around the car several times. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"Comrade Haoran, how did you make this paint? It's so bright!" Cao Hanhua moved closer to observe the paint surface of the car body.

He discovered that the car paint really seemed to be shining.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "This is the metallic paint we mixed. It contains some metal powder."

Cao Hanhua nodded and said, "I've heard of this kind of paint. Tiny metal particles, such as aluminum particles, are added to the paint base. When light hits the aluminum particles, it is reflected through the paint film, giving the car a glittering feel."

Wang Haoran gave a thumbs up and said, "You're right."

"Comrade Hanhua has a wide range of knowledge."

Cao Hanhua shook his head and said, "Shame on me, shame on me!"

"I've only heard of it. It's said that this kind of paint is difficult to mix, and therefore, it's quite expensive. It's only used on top luxury cars abroad."

"Comrade Haoran, isn't it a bit too expensive to use metallic paint on this new car?"

"Didn't you say that you wanted to make this car into a mid-range official car?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, “Mid-range cars can also shine.”

Cao Hanhua nodded and said, "That's right. The Hongqi sedan is close to being discontinued because of its poor technology and major defects."

"Comrade Haoran, I think the car you have developed can replace the Hongqi sedan and serve as our special car."

Hongqi cars have always held a high status in the minds of Chinese people.

However, due to its poor quality and high fuel consumption, it has been discontinued since 1981.

Although it is said to have discontinued production, FAW has never given up and hopes to allow the Hongqi brand to be reborn by introducing technology.

During this period, Hongqi launched several models, but none of them were mass-produced in the end.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "How about we talk to the higher-ups and if that doesn't work, we can just take the Hongqi brand over and use it ourselves, how about that?"

Cao Hanhua was stunned for a moment: "Is this okay?"

Wang Haoran said: "If that doesn't work, we can just buy the brand name according to market standards!"

"It's still out of production anyway."

Cao Hanhua smiled and said, "Then our car must be of excellent quality to succeed."

Wang Haoran said: "Then let's give it a try!"

There is absolutely no problem with the engine.

But when it is integrated into a car, its performance still needs to be judged through a series of tests to see the quality of the car.

Cao Hanhua nodded and said, "It's time to test it. If the test parameters are very good, then we can report to the leadership."

"Our country really needs a domestically produced official car."

So, the next step is to conduct a simple test on the car.

It mainly depends on its power performance, acceleration, climbing ability, comfort level, fuel consumption parameters, etc.

The test was conducted on a loop track of Pangu Technology.

Cao Hanhua participated in all the tests.

Of course, there were also many automotive engineers on the scene.

The first thing to test is the new car's handling performance.

The main ones are acceleration ability, driving stability and braking performance.

Wang Haoran drove the car himself, and Cao Hanhua sat in the passenger seat.

As soon as Wang Haoran turned the car key, the engine started quickly. The starting speed was very fast, and the engine sound was low and powerful, but actually not too loud.

Cao Hanhua pricked up his ears and listened to the sound of the engine.

He is considered an old Autobot.

He could tell the condition of the engine just by listening.

Wang Haoran gently stepped on the accelerator a few times, and the engine speed gradually increased. The sound was clear and steady, and the car body did not shake at all.

Even when the engine is roaring, the sound is very smooth, without any lag or obstruction.

Cao Hanhua nodded secretly and thought to himself, this engine is really very good.

Wang Haoran glanced at Cao Hanhua and said with a smile: "Comrade Hanhua, fasten your seat belts. We are about to set off."

Cao Hanhua checked his seat belt and smiled, "I'm ready."

Wang Haoran stepped on the brake clutch, and he held the gear lever with his right hand and shifted the gear to 1st gear.

At this time, Cao Hanhua said, "Should we warm up the car for a while?"

"Also, our car is new, so we probably can't go too fast."

New cars have a running-in period, and you can't drive too fast during the running-in period. This is common sense that experienced drivers know.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Our engines have already been run-in during testing, so they should be running relatively smoothly inside."

"Also, direct injection does not require warming up the engine, so you can just start driving without any problems."

As Wang Haoran spoke, he slowly released the clutch, while at the same time releasing the brake and stepping on the accelerator.

The car started off very smoothly.

The starting speed is not fast and the noise control inside the car is also quite good.

Cao Hanhua nodded secretly. The car started very smoothly.

At this time, Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Comrade Hanhua, I'm going to speed up."

Cao Hanhua held onto the armrest of the chair.

As soon as he held on, Wang Haoran stepped on the accelerator.

The car reacts very quickly and accelerates quite violently.

Cao Hanhua felt as if his entire upper body was pressed tightly against the back of the seat.

He stared at the dashboard.

Nowadays, some domestic cars don’t even have a dashboard.

Cao Hanhua found that the speed of the car was increasing rapidly.

After just a few seconds, the car speed reached over 100 kilometers.

The engine noise of this car is quite loud at this moment, and the speed has reached about 1600 rpm.

This shocked Cao Hanhua.

Because this speed shows one thing: the engine and transmission system are very efficient.

Only in this way can the speed reach over 100 kilometers at low speed.

This car is very stable when driving at high speed, with no vibration or abnormal noise inside the car.

This shows that the manufacturing process of the car is very good.

"This car accelerates very quickly."

Cao Hanhua said.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Comrade Hanhua, have you ever driven a Camry with a foot basin?"

Cao Hanhua nodded and said, "I've driven it before, and the Camry's performance is not as good as our car."

Wang Haoran drove the car around Pangu Technology's large ring road for about five or six laps.

There is basically nothing wrong with this car and its handling performance is still very good.

Wang Haoran also drove a turbocharged Magotan sedan in his previous life. People say that Volkswagen has very good handling performance.

But now it seems that this naturally aspirated manual transmission sedan still performs very well.

After Wang Haoran finished driving, Cao Hanhua also drove a few laps.

Driving by yourself and watching others drive are actually very different.

Driving by yourself gives you a more intuitive experience.

When Cao Hanhua drove the car himself, he found that the car's reactions were very sharp. Whether it was turning or any other operation, the response was very quick and the driving experience was really smooth as silk.

The length of Pangu Technology's large loop is quite astonishing, with a full circle of more than 10 kilometers.

The test drivers took turns getting on the car to test it.

The test lasted for six or seven hours. The test data was excellent.

The fuel consumption reached an astonishing 5.4 liters per kilometers.

When Cao Hanhua saw the fuel consumption data, he was surprised.

Because Wang Haoran had said before that he wanted to reduce the fuel consumption to 6 liters per kilometers.

Now, it only consumes 5.4 liters of fuel per kilometers?

This is too outrageous.

After the test was completed, Wang Haoran held another meeting that evening.

He smiled and glanced at the key researchers from the Automotive Research Institute sitting there, and said, "Everyone, you have all driven this car, so please tell us what you think."

“If you think it has shortcomings, please raise them and we will continue to improve it.”

Everyone said that this car is simply perfect: the handling is great and the driving experience is simply a pleasure.

Most importantly, it is so fuel-efficient.

It's really an amazing domestic car!
Cao Hanhua said to Wang Haoran with emotion: "Comrade Haoran, you really do what you say!"

"You told me before that you would reduce the fuel consumption to about 6 per kilometers, and now you have done it."

Wang Haoran smiled and said: "In fact, reducing fuel consumption depends entirely on the improvement of manufacturing technology and electronically controlled direct injection fuel supply."

"The advantage of our electronically controlled direct injection over mechanical fuel injection is that it can provide a more refined oil-air mixture and a higher compression ratio."

“This makes fuel efficiency significantly better.”

"However, we can continue to advance technological advancement and strive to further improve fuel efficiency."

"We are a latecomer in the automotive industry. The world has basically been divided up by giant foreign automakers."

"If we want to survive and expand our territory, we must surpass them in technology! And form a relatively large lead."

"Only in this way can we attract consumers to our side."

Cao Hanhua nodded. He was quite excited at the moment.

He said: "You can report this new car to your superiors and see if you can get it used as the new state guest car."

"If it can be successfully promoted, then this new car can definitely be promoted in our country."

"Our domestic automobile market is quite large."

"If we can capture even 20 percent of the domestic market share, our annual car sales will be more than one million units."

Wang Haoran smiled and nodded, saying, "I'll call my boss. If he has time, I'll drive the car over in person and let him take a look."

Cao Hanhua said at this time: "I feel that it is no longer meaningful to continue cooperating with Fengtian Automobile."

"If our self-developed cars can be a great success, then the cooperation with Fengtian will be useless."

Wang Haoran waved his hand and said, "You can't say that."

"Let them in, squeeze out their strongest skills little by little, and then we'll have a strongest showdown with them. And then defeat them in the showdown fair and square, isn't that great?"

……

Wang Haoran did not announce any new news about self-developed domestically produced cars.

He thought it would be better to keep this news secret for the time being.

We have to wait until all production lines have been transformed and are almost ready for mass production, and then release the new models. This will probably have a better effect.

Of course, we cannot just develop one model of our own car, we need to develop several.

We need to develop luxury cars, mid-range cars, economy cars, SUVs, off-road vehicles, etc. to form a complete product matrix.

Of course, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

We still have to launch a car model first. As long as this model is a great success, it will be much easier to launch subsequent models.

As the saying goes, the beginning is always the hardest!
The next day, Wang Haoran called the designer to report the news of the development of a new self-developed official vehicle.

The leader was very happy when he heard this.

Because domestically produced cars are indeed in a very backward position now!
Domestic cars are in great need of an opportunity to develop and rise.

"Leader, how about I drive the car over and let you experience it yourself?" Wang Haoran took the opportunity to suggest.

The leader smiled and said, "Then drive over and take a look."

"I know what you mean! You want to join the group purchase of government vehicles. As long as the car is really good, there will be absolutely no problem."

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, the leader's secretary Song Qingfeng came to see Wang Haoran in person.

Wang Haoran took Song Qingfeng downstairs to look at the car.

The security personnel brought by Song Qingfeng will take a comprehensive look at the car.

When Song Qingfeng saw the car in front of him, he was also shocked.

Because he felt that this car looked much more beautiful than the most luxurious Mercedes-Benz.

Look at the majestic and stable appearance and the shiny body, it is very attractive!

Song Qingfeng looked at it carefully and said, "This car is better looking than most foreign luxury cars."

“As long as the actual driving experience is acceptable, it will definitely be very popular in the market.”

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Comrade Qingfeng can drive it himself later and give it a try."

Song Qingfeng was naturally eager to try.

He said, “I really want to open it myself.”

"The leader is waiting for you, let's go now."

So, the car brought by Song Qingfeng led the way in front, and he himself drove the new car developed by Wang Haoran behind.

Wang Haoran himself was sitting in the passenger seat.

Song Qingfeng fastened his seat belt. He had already powered on the car with the car key. Then, he felt that the seat belt actually tightened a little automatically.

He suddenly felt a little shocked.

Because the automatic seat belt tightening function is only available in very few luxury cars.

He had also heard about it from others.

Song Qingfeng naturally wouldn't ask in surprise. He stepped on the brake and clutch and shifted into first gear.

Then he released the clutch and stepped on the accelerator.

He released the clutch a little too quickly, and as a result, Song Qingfeng felt that the car actually accelerated and rushed forward...

Song Qingfeng was startled and he quickly took the steering wheel.

For general manual transmission cars, you should not release the clutch too quickly at the start, as it may cause the car to jam and stall.

"Wow! The starting speed is quite fast?" Song Qingfeng said.

At this time, the car's speed has returned to normal.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Maybe you stepped on the gas too quickly and released the clutch too hard, so the acceleration was a bit fast."

Song Qingfeng said as he drove: "I haven't driven for a long time!"

“It’s a bit unfamiliar indeed.”

"When it started just now, it was indeed a bit fast."

"But if I do that to a normal car, it will just stall."

"Comrade Haoran, the car you have developed is really great. It responds immediately when you step on the gas, and it has plenty of power. This shows that the engine, mechanical transmission, clutch, and so on are all very good."

Wang Haoran gave a thumbs up: "You know a lot about cars."

Song Qingfeng smiled and said, "This is because, for a long time, the leaders have been very concerned about the development of our automobile industry, haha!"

“I also read a lot of information.”

"I feel that the leaders will be very excited when they see this car."

Song Qingfeng drove quickly to the leader's office.

After entering the compound and parking the car, Wang Haoran was about to get out when he saw his leader striding out of the house.
