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

In the next two days, Feng Tianjing began to watch the top engineers in the company modify a Lexus sedan.

Because there are many competition items involved, such as impact tests, the car frame needs to be reinforced, requiring the use of the best high-strength steel.

Of course, in order to ensure victory in the impact test, the AB pillars of the frame must be made thicker.

Feng Tianjing also requested to use the best ultra-high-strength steel directly.

It must be able to withstand huge impact forces without deformation.

This request is a bit excessive.

Fengtian Automobile has never used ultra-high-strength steel!

Ultra-high-strength steel is basically not used in automobiles, and even if it is used, it is only used in very few special parts.

Mainly, it is more expensive.

The foot basin people are the masters who are best at reducing costs by working hard on materials.

But in order to win the competition with Hongqi H1, Feng Tianjing also demanded to do so at all costs.

The frame must be made of the strongest material.

Thickened ultra-high-strength steel anti-collision beams are also used for anti-collision.

This is to ensure better performance in crash tests.

The steel anti-collision beam has high strength and hardness.

The strength and hardness of the anti-collision beam made of ultra-high-strength steel are even higher.

In short, Feng Tianjing also demands the ultimate in collision avoidance.

Of course, the result of using thickened materials is that the total weight of the car may be very large.

Feng Tianjing also requested that more carbon fiber accessories be used in places where collision safety is not affected, so as to reduce the weight of the car.

In order to make the fuel consumption appear lower, Feng Tianjing also took great pains.

He requested to build a hidden fuel tank and connect it to the fuel tank through a hidden transmission pipeline.

As for the engine, he really wanted to install a turbocharger. However, Fengtian’s technicians told him that if the turbocharger developed by Fengtian was forcibly installed on an ordinary car, it would not only be very fuel-consuming but also have a high failure rate.

Today, no car manufacturer in the world uses turbochargers on ordinary family cars.

This is mainly because that would greatly increase the manufacturing cost of the car!
Moreover, the turbocharging technology at that time was also quite fuel-consuming and was simply not affordable for ordinary family car consumers.

Feng Tianjing also considered it again and again and had to give up.

He would have liked to have gone straight to a racing engine.

However, that would be a bit too shameful. When the two sides compete, there will definitely be a lot of media coverage, and there will also be a large number of professional and technical personnel to supervise and inspect.

If Fengtian goes too far and is reported by the Longguo media, it will probably become a scandal.

Taking into account that the explosive power and acceleration capability of Hongqi H1 are indeed much stronger than Lexus, Feng Tianjing also required that the compression ratio of the cylinder must be increased at all costs so that the engine can output greater power.

That is to squeeze the engine's performance to the maximum extent possible...

Feng Tianjing also wants to win the competition with Hongqi H1 comprehensively, so he doesn't want to lose in the - acceleration.

However, he had read the special news about the Hongqi H1 reported by CCTV in Longguo, and he felt that it was almost impossible for his team to win in the - acceleration.

This is because the opponent’s acceleration from 7.5 to km/h can reach seconds!
This data is simply incredible!

Unless it is an F1 racing car or a super sports car, almost no brand of family cars today can accelerate from 10 to km/h within seconds!

Take Lexus' current 2.0 naturally aspirated engine sedan as an example. Its best 11- km/h acceleration is only over seconds!

Even with a 2.5 naturally aspirated engine, it only takes a little over 10 seconds.

Of course, if it is equipped with a V6 or V8 engine, without considering fuel consumption, the acceleration from 10 to 8 km/h may be less than seconds, or even more than seconds.

But now what Lexus is competing with Hongqi H1 is a 4-cylinder family sedan!
If it is a 4-cylinder engine, the maximum displacement of the engine model used in ordinary family cars is only 2.5 liters.

If it exceeds 2.5 liters, the size is a bit exaggerated and can be clearly seen with the naked eye.

Therefore, Feng Tianjing asked to work on Fengtian’s 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine.

Because the president was personally supervising the work, Fengtian's engineers did not dare to be negligent.

They worked hard and finally built a specially modified Lexus in two days.

This is called cheating at any cost.

After the car is built, it is first assembled on the final assembly line.

Then, the test began under the direct supervision of Feng Tian Jingye.

As expected of a car with decades of experience in automobile research and development, this car generally performs quite well in terms of power, various safety measures, fuel consumption, auxiliary functions, etc.

Especially in terms of fuel consumption, it is really quite eye-catching.

With the help of the hidden fuel tank, the fuel consumption of this car can be as low as 4.2 liters per kilometers.

There is also a significant improvement in zero-to-hundred acceleration, which can reach 10.3 seconds.

Its power can reach 210 horsepower and its torque can reach 253 Nm.

This is quite impressive.

Of course, in terms of other auxiliary functions, such as AEB emergency braking function, Fengtian has used all that can be used.

This includes advanced features such as cruise control.

In fact, the technology of cruise control appeared quite early, as early as 1945.

It doesn't have much advanced technology.

It just saves the action of pressing the accelerator.

The most difficult thing now is actually adaptive cruise control.

This adaptive cruise control is said to have been invented by the Jews in 1971.

However, it has never been mature enough.

Nowadays, only cruise control technology can still be used.

Things like electronic remote control keys and electric lifting windows are of course not a problem.

Many of the technologies used in this specially made Lexus sedan were originally only found in luxury cars.

Now, Feng Tianjing also wants to compete with Hongqi H1, so he has put all his efforts into it.

Because of time constraints, after the car was assembled and tested, Feng Tianjing felt that this specially made car was quite good, so he ordered to contact Longguo immediately and apply to ship the car to Longguo.

The Long Kingdom immediately approved the request.

Fengtian used a transport plane to transport the car directly to the capital of Longguo.

Fengtian originally planned to transport the parts over for assembly.

However, they are still guilty after all.

Because they did too much to this car!
If this car was transported to Longguo for assembly, it would be very likely that Longguo would discover the abnormality.

If we are discovered, it will be a disaster.

So it is better to ship the whole truck directly.

Feng Tianjing also originally wanted to go there in person to provide support.

However, he thought again that his side might not necessarily win beautifully, and it would be a bit of an overreaction for a president like him to rush over to support them.

Moreover, if the future performance is not ideal, it will be difficult for him to shirk responsibility.

Feng Tianjing also decided to command remotely.

The person in charge on site was Toshisuke Koizumi.

On the afternoon before the game, Wang Haoran personally presided over a meeting.

The main participants of the meeting were the heads of partners such as FAW and Beijing Auto, as well as senior executives of China Passenger Car Group.

"Comrades, according to the intelligence we have, Feng Tian has used all his strength this time."

"They built a special Lexus sedan." "This car uses almost all the best car-making technology."

"Their engine is a 4-liter 2.5-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. They are likely to tamper with fuel consumption."

"Hmm! I think there's not much that can be done about fuel consumption. At most, we can add a hidden fuel tank or something."

"If we inspect the cars carefully before the race, I believe we can discover their cheating methods..."

Wang Haoran introduced some of the situations of the Jiaoben people at the meeting.

After hearing this, Cao Hanhua, the person in charge of Jingcheng Automobile, said with some concern: "Comrade Haoran, the other party is serious!"

"If they go all out, I don't think we'll be able to beat them, right?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Even if they really want to fight, I don't think they can beat us."

"We must have confidence!"

"In fact, I have always believed that the technology of automobile manufacturing is not that advanced. It mainly depends on the development and improvement of manufacturing technology."

"Why are the cars made by the people of Jiaoben, Hans, and Jusa better and more practical than ours?"

"In fact, the key issue is that the precision parts such as engines they make are much more advanced than ours."

"Now, our precision manufacturing machinery is no worse than theirs, so their advantage in this area has actually disappeared."

"I think the technological highlights of future cars will mostly be in electronic control."

"With an excellent electronic control system, a lot of functions can be realized."

"Things like car seat heating, car seat ventilation, adaptive cruise control, automatic braking or avoidance when encountering obstacles, automatic parking, etc., are all electronic functions."

"These are our strengths!"

"So I was very optimistic from the beginning to the end."

"I have always firmly believed that we can catch up and surpass the rest in the automotive field."

Li Yunze, the head of FAW, nodded and said, "Comrade Haoran's confidence is very contagious."

"I think it won't be that easy for the Foot Basin people to achieve victory over us by cheating."

"Since it's a competition, the configuration and performance of the cars that both sides are comparing must be the same!"

"If everyone uses a 2.5-liter engine, it's cheating!"

"If they are trying to hide their fuel tanks in order to outperform us in fuel consumption, then once we find out, we will severely humiliate and expose them!"

"Let them become the object of ridicule in our domestic market!"

Wang Haoran nodded appreciatively and said, "Yes!"

"If they dare to do anything tricky, let them lose more than they gain!"

"Next, let's arrange tomorrow's work!"

Wang Haoran arranged the work for the next day.

Then, he personally contacted reporters from several major media outlets and communicated with them first.

CCTV reporter Wang Jianguo listened to Wang Haoran's words and said with a smile: "Comrade Haoran, I don't think Fengtian would fake it, right?"

"After all, they are an international giant and a leader among global automakers."

Wang Haoran laughed and said, "It seems that Comrade Jianguo still has a filter for them."

"There are quite a lot of fakes made by large companies in the foot basin. Let me give you a few examples. These examples were reported by major media in the lizard country and the foot basin's own media."

Wang Haoran told Wang Jianguo all the embarrassing things Fengtian had done before.

Wang Jianguo was shocked when he heard this: "Huh? Comrade Haoran, why have I hardly heard of similar rumors before?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, “Because Fengtian’s public relations ability is still very strong, and they react very quickly to negative suppression.”

"Well! If they get into any scandal during this competition, I believe you will soon be able to feel Fengtian's powerful public relations ability."

"They will definitely take urgent action and will take the initiative to find you and your unit to settle the matter. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

"Well! I'm going to talk to your station manager. It would be great if we can get you to broadcast the entire competition live."

Wang Jianguo said: "Comrade Haoran, it seems that you are quite confident that you can win this duel with Fengtian!"

“Otherwise you wouldn’t have pushed for the entire live broadcast.”

"However, live broadcasts can easily disrupt the rhythm of our TV station's program broadcasts."

"I don't think our station director would easily agree to broadcast a game like yours."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "In my opinion, this competition is basically the same as fighting with foreign strongmen in the past. It is a display of national spirit and integrity!"

"As long as the publicity is done properly, people across the country will definitely pay close attention to it."

"Let me discuss this matter with Director Zhang Yunhui."

"This matter must be of great benefit to you, there's no need to tell you!"

As mentioned before, CCTV is currently in a stage of rapid development.

Its advertising revenue is growing rapidly, and its program formats are constantly improving as its financial strength grows.

In the past, CCTV’s broadcast time was only about 10 hours a day.

Now, it has almost expanded to 24 hours.

Wang Haoran went to visit Zhang Yunhui in person and talked with Zhang Yunhui about the all-round competition between Hongqi H1 and Fengtian's Lexus the next day.

He hoped that Zhang Yunhui could arrange a three-hour broadcast on CCTV-9 from 11 to 3 am the next day to broadcast the entire competition process live.

The period from 9 to 11 a.m. is actually almost equivalent to garbage time, and basically no one watches TV.

Because everyone is working or studying during this period!

Zhang Yunhui was naturally quite interested in Wang Haoran's proposal.

Because this competition is of great significance. It is almost equivalent to Longguo's automobile manufacturing industry challenging Jiaoben Automobile.

Moreover, Longguo may still win this competition.

This will surely arouse great interest and enthusiasm among people across the country.

But the situation now is: Can we really win?
If you lose, it will be a real bummer.

What Zhang Yunhui is worried about now is actually this matter.

"Comrade Haoran, what do you think are your chances of winning?"

"If we can tie with them, there will be no problem."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "The possibility of our winning is very high, at least more than 80%!"

"Besides, who knows, the Foot Basin Man might make a fool of himself in public this time!"

"As long as we can broadcast live this time, I firmly believe that we can crush them!"

Zhang Yunhui smiled and nodded, saying: "Since Comrade Haoran is so confident, then I will naturally give my full support!"

"This time, if you can really defeat the Foot Basin People, then our Dragon Country's automobile brand will surely rise rapidly!"

"Come on!"

So, CCTV decided to take out 3 hours to broadcast the game live.

During the prime-time program broadcast that evening, CCTV also previewed the live broadcast of the Hongqi H1 and Toyota Lexus race through subtitle ads and interstitial ads.

This trailer also aroused the enthusiasm of people across the country.

In the previous advertisement released by Hongqi H1 itself, Hongqi H1 completely crushed Lexus.

This time, Fengtian is obviously not convinced. They are going to challenge Hongqi H1, intending to turn the tables and ultimately save face.

Then, this game is destined to be very intense!
Therefore, many people decided to turn on the TV to watch the live broadcast during that period.

Naturally, Koizumi Toshisuke also soon learned that Dragon Country’s CCTV-1 would broadcast the competition live.

This news made him frown. (End of this chapter)
