It only cost more than 100,000 yuan to build such a prototype. Is this considered spending money?
This means that this engine cost no research and development costs at all.
Wan Feng was so happy that he invited these super talented guys who were developing the engine to the restaurant opposite Nanwan Auto.
The waiter who had once received Wan Feng felt mixed emotions when he saw Boss Wan coming again.
Ever since Boss Wan’s majestic image collapsed in her mind last time, she always had the urge to laugh when she saw this legendary figure again.
Wan Feng didn't understand why this little girl looked like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
This meal cost Wan Feng more than a thousand yuan because there were too many people.
There were fifty or sixty people sitting at seven or eight tables, and we spent more than a thousand yuan, which was a 20% discount.
This time the hotel took the initiative to call, unlike last time when Wan Feng came and asked for it, and it was free.
"Mr. Wan! The inline six-cylinder engine you drew has been verified repeatedly by us, but there is one question we still can't figure out: how did you draw this engine in the first place?" Wen Guanghua asked Wan Feng this question during the meal.
It’s okay if you don’t understand it. If you don’t understand it, then there will be a problem.
“It’s just a random drawing.”
Wen Guanghua was very dissatisfied with Wan Feng's words that were obviously intended to fool the foreigners: "This is not a random drawing. That inline six-cylinder engine is the most perfect engine I have ever seen. We tried to build it, but failed."
Wen Guanghua's words were somewhat regrettable. They did try to build this perfect engine, but found that they could only produce the form but not the spirit, and could not reach the 560 horsepower data marked on this engine.
They also looked for the cause, and the most likely possibility was a problem with the engine's construction materials.
It is not impossible to build the engine that will be produced twenty years from now with current technology, but it will be very difficult. After all, some materials that will be produced twenty years from now will not be available now.
"Don't worry, it will be made sooner or later. I believe you will succeed in a few years."
"We think so too. I've decided that the diesel engines of Nanwan Motors will be based on the engine you drew. We will strive to make every engine in the future in that style."
Wen Guanghua’s idea is correct.
If Nanwan Motors can produce this engine, it can be said that they will have no rivals in the truck market within ten years, not even FAW or Second FAW.
After lunch, Wan Feng looked at their other research work on this six-axle truck.
A 700-horsepower engine wouldn't be able to survive without more than ten gears.
This work is more complicated, and Nanwan Motors has never built such a complicated gearbox.
This car uses a hydromechanical transmission.
The original MAZ7912 and MAZ7917 vehicles used this type of gearbox.
The so-called hydromechanical transmission is simply an automatic transmission.
You say Soviet cars are backward? They used automatic transmissions on heavy trucks like this one in the 1970s.
Its structure is completely different from a manual transmission. It has no traditional clutch, no two rows of gears to be meshed, and no shift forks to shift the gears into engagement. It only has a hydraulic torque transmitter and a series of planetary gear sets at the back.
Wan Feng has always wondered why the Soviets used this kind of gearbox on such a large vehicle at that time. Is it flexible?
Automatic transmission has its advantages but also has its significant disadvantages.
Wan Feng always felt that it was unreliable to use this kind of gearbox in such a large car.
"Can you build this?"
“It can only be a high imitation.”
As long as it can be a high imitation.
"Can this engine be made smaller and used in a vehicle as big as a pickup truck?"
Wen Guanghua shook his head: "We can't do this, but we can develop it after we understand its principles."
Wan Feng nodded. "I'm going to take some of your people back to Jiangwei to form an automatic transmission PR team. Please list the best people for me."
"Ah? Mr. Wan! You've taken the people away, what are we going to do? We still haven't figured out the gearbox for this six-axis."
"You guys can make a high-quality replica, right? This car is just a prototype. As long as it works, we'll continue researching and developing it if it passes the test."
The hydromechanical transmission must be developed. In ten or eight years, all the cars on the streets will be automatic transmission cars. How will Nanwan survive without its own automatic transmission?
"The engine and gearbox of this car have been solved, how is the transmission system development going?"
"Well enough."
"Since everything is almost done, let's make a prototype and test it out. If there are any problems, we can fix them. By the time the time comes, we must show the military that our car can run."
More than a year has passed, and if we don’t produce something practical, it will be too late.
"Okay! I'll put it together and start building the parts to make a prototype."
When coming to the development zone, Wan Feng had to visit his second mother-in-law.
After finishing their work here, Wan Feng and Han Guangjia went to Zhang Zhiyuan's house.
Zhang Zhiyuan works in Nanwan Automobile, and He Yanxia is the only one left at home.
He Yanxia has no complaints about her children not being around. Besides cleaning the house, she participates in activities for the elderly in the residential area.
People of similar age here chat about family matters.
Last fall, she stayed in Jiangwei for a few days and somehow learned a few square dances from the people in Dongshan Community.
Now he has become a square dance instructor at the Nanwan Automobile Factory in the Black Reef Development Zone. He has formed a team of 20 to 30 people, singing and dancing to the accompaniment of four speaker tape recorders.
Not to mention, a mother who can give birth to two beautiful daughters is naturally not bad in charm. Her waist and dancing posture are very attractive.
Wan Feng was worried about his second mother-in-law. If his second mother-in-law continued to play games like this, would she find someone to collude and frame Zhang Zhiyuan one day?
It would be fine if no one else knew about it, but if the news leaked out, it would be so embarrassing that the mother-in-law of his boss, Wan Da, was supporting a man.
Of course, this idea cannot be spoken out, it can only be kept in the stomach.
Since his second mother-in-law was showing off her charm before her sunset, Wan Feng didn't stay here for too long. He just said hello to He Yanxia and drove to Yu Qingtao's frozen processing plant for a tour.
There's no other reason for me to come here, just to see if I can get some seafood for free.
Wan Feng doesn't like to eat it, but Luan Feng and his mother do. They can't go back empty-handed after going to the beach.
After the paving of the Black Reef Port was completed, Yu Qingtao's fleet continued to transport sand and gravel for the port construction. The car of Zhu Yingqiang, Wan Feng's uncle, was also here.
Even if there is no work for anyone, there must be work for the children of Wan Feng's uncle.
At least Yu Qingtao has work to do on the Black Lagoon vehicles, so Zhu Yingqiang's cars are kept busy.
The main port will be operational next year, but the auxiliary facilities will take several years to complete. At least for the next three to five years, his vehicles will not have to look for work everywhere.
