heat.

very hot.

This was Zhou Fei and Zhang Xiang's first feeling after they arrived at Aiding Lake.

How hot is it?

Beat an egg on the concrete floor and it will be ready to eat in about 2 minutes.You don't even need to walk around while wearing clothes, and you can immediately perform "wet temptation".

Here, it seems that only the sun is left in the whole world. If there is really a Flame Mountain in this world, it must be here.

Aiding Lake, located in TLF City, is not only the lowest point of the entire TLF Basin, but also the lowest point of the entire Chinese land. The lake surface is 154.31 meters lower than sea level, and the lowest point of the lake bottom reaches a minus 161 meters!
As one of the hottest and driest areas in the world, the annual precipitation in Aydin Lake is less than 20 millimeters, and the evaporation is thousands of times that of precipitation. The extreme high temperature reaches 48°C, and the surface temperature directly exceeds 80°C.

And late July was the hottest period here, and Zhou Fei and Zhang Xiang turned on the air conditioner immediately after they checked into the hotel.

"The calibration site is about 50 kilometers away from here. We will drive there tomorrow morning. Let's take a good rest tonight." After dinner, Zhou Fei said to several people in his company.

The entire calibration process is expected to last for a week, of course, this is only the most optimistic situation, once the vehicle used for calibration is damaged, the time will definitely be extended later.

However, if it comes, it will be safe, no matter how bad the conditions are, the three-high calibration always needs someone to do it.

At around ten o'clock the next morning, Zhou Fei and his team drove towards the calibration site. The two QQs used for calibration had been arranged for transport last night, and the transport vehicle followed Zhou Fei and the others.

In order to prevent the design of this car from being leaked in advance, all the vehicles used for calibration have been pasted with black and white striped tape on the body.

About 45 minutes later, Zhou Fei and others stopped in a desert grassland. This area is specially used for high-temperature calibration of major automobile manufacturers. In addition to Mercedes-Benz, Zhou Fei also saw at least three automobile companies also come here we go.

"Which company is this new group of people from? Why have you never seen them before?"

"I don't know. Judging by the size of the test car, it looks a bit like a small mini car, but it's bigger than a small mini car. Is there any domestic OEM making this type of car?"

The arrival of Zhou Fei and others naturally attracted the attention of many people. They are all calibration engineers of major domestic car companies and come here almost every year. They are already familiar with each other, but for Zhou Fei and the others, These people obviously don't know each other.

"I remembered, they should belong to Feichi Company, isn't that person Zhou Fei!"

"Is that the Mercedes-Benz company that makes engines?"

"I read about their boss in the newspaper, and that person is Zhou Fei!"

"I didn't expect them to make such a fast progress in building the car, and even reached the three-high calibration, but looking at their cars, they seem to be quite good."

But soon, someone recognized Zhou Fei.The Mercedes-Benz company's entry into the complete vehicle market caused an uproar in the domestic auto industry at that time. Even though it has been a long time since this incident, some people can still clearly remember the "grand occasion" at that time.

In this way, Zhou Fei and the others will get even more attention.

"Check the condition of the test vehicle. If there is no problem, connect the test equipment. We will start right away. If we finish early, we can go back earlier."

Zhou Fei ignored the arguments of these people, and assigned the task as soon as he got out of the car.

In such a high-temperature environment, Zhou Fei didn't want to stay for a second longer, and tried not to speak if he could.

The main test content of high-temperature calibration is the fuel system and heat dissipation system of the engine, and the engine knock and heat soak evaporation are investigated, so as to ensure that the vehicle can start and drive normally in an extremely high-temperature environment.

After some inspections, the high-temperature calibration test officially began. The first thing to do was the hot start test of the vehicle.

This test requires the vehicle to drive tens of kilometers first. When the temperature of the engine and cooling system rises, find a sheltered place to stop and let the temperature of the vehicle continue to rise. When the temperature reaches about 110 degrees, it can be heated. Started the test.

After the car drove for half an hour, Zhou Fei and the others stopped the car and sat in another car, waiting for the temperature to rise.

Soon, the temperature of the test vehicle reached 112 degrees Celsius. Zhou Fei and Zhang Xiang boarded the test vehicle immediately, and then started the vehicle with one pinching the watch.

With a buzzing sound, the vehicle was started smoothly after a slight tremor without any startup failure.

"It took 1.8 seconds, the hot start test passed!" Zhang Xiang glanced at the timer and said excitedly.

The evaluation standard of the hot start test is that the start-up time should not exceed three seconds, and the QQ completed the start-up of the vehicle in only 1.8 seconds, which shows that the overall performance of the FCQ1 engine is still very powerful.

Zhou Fei smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's test the engine's knock control next."

In the next few days, Zhou Fei and his team conducted a series of high-temperature calibrations on the QQ car. In order to ensure the rigor of the experiment, Zhou Fei usually went out to work during the hottest time of the day. The working hours are long, that is, less than four hours.

Eight days have passed in this way. With the joint efforts of Zhou Fei, Zhang Xiang and others, the high temperature calibration experiment of QQ was finally completed.During the calibration process, except for a test vehicle with a puncture in the middle, the rest of the time, the test vehicle was normal.

After finishing the high-temperature calibration, Zhou Fei didn't stop any longer. He arranged the transportation of the vehicle that night, and then the group set off to return to the company early the next morning.

"After going back this time, everyone will rest for a week, and then return to the company to work normally. After entering September, you will go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for high-voltage calibration." On the way back, Zhou Fei took the next calibration work as well It was arranged.

"Then shall we carry out a second calibration?" asked Zhang Xiang beside him.

"If there is time, the three-high calibration will be carried out again. If time does not allow, one calibration can meet the requirements. It depends on the next time control." Zhou Fei replied with a smile.

Generally speaking, there is no limit on the frequency of three-high calibration, but in order to ensure the stability of vehicle performance, many companies usually perform a second calibration after the first calibration.

However, according to Zhou Fei's current plan, this car is expected to go on sale in June next year. Except for the high-voltage calibration, there should be no time for a second calibration for the other two calibration experiments.

However, in Zhou Fei’s view, the QQ car is a mature model that has been tested by the market for more than ten years. Chery has also conducted many tests on this car, so it is completely enough to conduct only one calibration test in this world. up.

After returning to the company, Zhou Fei also gave himself a day off, and then the next morning, Zhou Fei called the company's high-level meeting again. The theme of the meeting this time was mainly to discuss the company's dealer recruitment, that is, 4S store investment promotion matters.
