Chapter 249 Model Determination

Nie Minhui was very concerned about Zhang Yunfeng's business. She also helped Zhang Yunfeng to order several sets of the five-axis linkage processing equipment that Zhang Yunfeng had mentioned at the beginning, through some special channels, while Zhang Yunfeng's temporary high-precision machining center is located inside the Shijiazhuang Factory, a warehouse with an area of about 5,000 square meters has been vacated, inside which are several sets of newly assembled five-axis machining equipment, the warehouse itself has been retrofitted with large air conditioning to stabilize the temperature of the processing center, and with large dust removal equipment, which is basically dust free.

When it was modified, there was no window except for the air passage at the top, and the whole building was basically completely visually sealed, with no outside light coming in, and no sunlight inside for 24 hours, has to be illuminated by a cold light source, and in here, it's been running at full power for days!

These days, in addition to some people sent to the inside of the equipment, spare parts, no one has gone in, and the equipment and spare parts sent to the inside of the people, is the president here, Zhang Yunfeng.

Inside the building, Shōni is using high precision robotic arms, high precision five axis machining equipment, the overall accuracy of the promotion and transformation!

A high precision arm is the equivalent of Shōni's arm, and he used a five axis device to constantly improve the arm itself, making it more accurate, and then he used a higher precision arm, the five-axis linkage of the processing equipment to carry out a thorough transformation, making its accuracy is also constantly improved.

When these five axis machines first arrived, they represented only the highest level in the country and the middle level in the world, but as Shōni continued to improve, using the technical knowledge of industrial manufacturing, the use of increasingly high-precision mechanical arm, a few days of time, these five-axis linkage equipment, its accuracy has reached the world-class level.

The reason why he was sure that the level here was already top notch was that he clearly knew that the equipment in this factory building had reached the international first class level ten years later, and now Shōni's precision upgrade is continuing, once higher casting materials are made, the overall accuracy and technological level of these devices will be greatly improved!

At the same time, Shōni used current equipment to develop the robotic arm best suited to his needs. The robotic arm was designed not only with unprecedented precision, but also with a moving base, the design of the base is very simple. It is a two-track chassis. The finished product was ordered directly from the production of the EOD robot, and then slightly modified. After the modification, the track can ensure the base to turn in place, and the movement is very convenient, there is also an automatic wire reel above the chassis, which can automatically retract and release power supply cables of about 100 meters in total length. That is to say, this kind of mechanical arm is no longer a mechanical arm fixed in a certain position on the production line, it's a simple robot that can move.

While these robots may seem simple, because they are directly controlled by Shōni, they perform extremely well, and only artificial intelligence such as Shōni can make use of them!

The same robots, which Shōni built himself, could cover virtually every corner of the factory, so that even if no one was in there to help, shōni can do whatever he wants here.

This means a lot to Zhang Yunfeng, who is able to use the wireless network anytime, anywhere to enable Shōni to carry out the secret processing here, which is based on the artificial intelligence of Shōni, even if other people have to go, there is no super-powerful intelligent program, also can not really play this high-precision machining center, but even so, Zhang Yunfeng still very careful, strictly keep the secret here.

Only Zhang Yunfeng knew about this place, and even Nie Minhui was not aware of it. It was completely closed-off, with pervasive monitoring equipment, visual monitoring, thermal monitoring, infrared monitoring, these devices were installed by SHŌNI's robotic arm in every corner of the processing center, and no one could get close enough to Shōni's surveillance to sneak up on them. If anyone did, and Zhang wasn't there, he could make Shōni stop everything in an instant, and even, with its fixed and mobile arms, self destruct all the equipment, as a last resort, of course.

Zhang himself, who left Zhangjiakou after the mobile arm was manufactured, has been in Chengdu for several days to automate the final assembly line and to update the factory's workforce, because Zhang Yunfeng wants to expand production capacity, so after most of the production lines are automated, more workers can be put into the links that must be completed manually, such as lifting large parts, vehicle monitoring and so on, the current number of workers is just enough to meet the demand.

Although the new engine, new transmission, new suspension have not been produced, but Zhang Yunfeng is not ready to wait any longer, he is ready to let the final ASSEMBLY LINE TO START PRODUCTION!

In Zhang Yunfeng's view, he should first manufacture the car body now, so that once other parts are mass produced, they can immediately be transported to Chengdu to complete the final assembly line, and the final assembly line in Chengdu has just completed the automation upgrade, production can be resumed at any time.

Zhang had already selected three models, one for 15.25 million. 25.45 million. 45.7 million, three cars with a maximum price of not more than 700,000, the bodywork is not necessarily made of new materials, the technical strength of the current final assembly line, plus normal materials is enough, so, all the factors of production are now in place.

In these models, Zhang Yunfeng's competitiveness is mainly reflected in: 1, EXCELLENT CLASSIC SHAPE. 2. Best value for money.

Specifically, physically, Zhang Yunfeng has the classic models of later generations that can be used directly. From the shape, it is absolutely ahead of its time, and it is absolutely capable of capturing the current consumers. From the technical content of the shape, the Wind Resistance Coefficient of each model, and how much air resistance will be reduced and how much ground pressure, commonly known as downward pressure, will be increased by each streamlined design on each model, are all clear to Zhang Yunfeng, you don't have to run any more tests, you can make sure it's the best one on the market.

In addition, Zhang Yunfeng's performance-to-price ratio is his biggest market card. New Materials and engines made by new technologies can ensure that the cars consumers get are the best in performance at the same price, but in the same performance, the lowest fuel consumption, but also, is the lowest maintenance costs.

With these two, it is enough to dominate the market, as for the carbon fiber body, Zhang Yunfeng is impossible to use in less than 2 million cars, after all, his model positioning has enough cost-effective.

The design drawings of the three models, Xiao Er has all been imported into the computer, and then by Zhang Yunfeng handed over to the person in charge of the final assembly line, the three models of cars to complete the relevant molding as soon as possible, and then into the mass production link.

The final assembly line of these from woerwo directly taken over by the East Chen automobile employees, the three models of the design out, they let everyone shocked, amazed, is the aesthetic of every normal people issued by the first exclamation! These three models are simply too beautiful. Whether it's a hatchback or a hatchback, whether it's a sports car or a business model, all the derivative models are perfect, at least in terms of the current car styling patterns around the world, no one has yet been able to find fault with them.

The models not only look amazing, but also take into account the aerodynamic design elements, so that all employees believe that as long as the power configuration of these three models is appropriate and the price positioning is appropriate, they will certainly have a good performance in the market, again tie-in is"wo and wo"old sign, believe to be able to set off a frenzy in car industry certainly.

However, Zhang Yunfeng then made it very clear: all cars produced by Dongchen automobile will completely abandon the woerwo brand, from now on, all products will be "Dongchen" for its brand name, English name: Donson, the brand logo was also designed by Zhang Yunfeng himself.

The Dongchen logo is a circular logo like the Volkswagen logo. Inside the circle is the capital letter DC, and there is an arc on the right side of the D, and an arc on the left side of the C, the two arcs are designed so that the center line of the circle is the base point, the left and right sides mirror each other perfectly, and the two arcs do not meet the circumference of the circle, the only thing that does meet is the vertical line of the letter D, so that the two letters of the DC are right in the middle of the circle, and it's the right size. It's not too big, it's not too small.

After the logo was designed, it was immediately filed for registration and patent. The employees of Dongchen automobile were not comfortable at first when they saw that the original Woerwo logo in the factory had been replaced by the circular logo, but before long, everybody also liked the east Chen this kind of simple atmosphere logo, be like Volkswagen VW circle sign same.

Car Models, logo, interior design are also there, the engine waiting for new materials in place can be mass-produced.

Suspension system is not a big problem, in low-grade cars, using the Volvo S60 suspension, high-grade cars, will use the S80 suspension system for the blueprint, some changes and upgrades.

As for the transmission system, Zhang Yunfeng has two considerations. In terms of hardware, the gearbox is the core problem, and in terms of software, the driving mode and the power distribution system are the most important, but the gearbox is not a big problem, for the three cars with the highest selling price of no more than seven hundred thousand yuan, Zhang Yunfeng plans to build on the original gearbox and make some improvements. When the time comes, there will be three kinds of gearboxes, and the manual transmission will be a five speed car with the lowest end, the automatic transmission also pairs five speed cars with low end models, and the Manumatic is divided into six speed and seven speed cars with medium and high end cars. If you develop a million or more cars in the future, then consider whether to introduce high end transmissions.

As for the driving mode, the low-end parking space front-wheel drive, the middle-and high-end cars, use the ordinary half-time four-wheel-drive system, as for the high-end cars, a central differential lock can realize full-time four-wheel-drive, Zhang Yunfeng is not prepared to make too much effort on this, just make sure it's in the right place, and for those customers who really want it, he'll follow up with other models specifically designed for them.

Just as Zhang Yunfeng was burying his head in Chengdu, Nie Minhui made a surprise visit.

In Zhang Yunfeng's office, Nie Minhui saw Zhang Yunfeng in front of his computer and asked, with a smile, "what's wrong with the new model? "

"No, " Zhang said with a smile. "I'm only going to launch three models in the early days. The shape and internal shape of these three models have already been determined. I'm just thinking about how to number them. "

"I don't understand this, " Nie said with a smile. "But I want to remind you that the model number should not be too complicated. The more straightforward, the better. It's like BMW's 17 series. It's very intuitive. The off-road car uses the x series, the performance car uses the M, and the public knows it at a glance. On the other hand, mercedes-benz's model positioning is a bit messy, we all know that is the s series, slk, clk, glk, C series, e series, B, g series, messy, not a veteran fans, simply can not distinguish between the core differences between each series."

Zhang Yunfeng nodded, "My initial idea was to break it down into four major routes, into four parts: Cars, Suvs, commercial vehicles and performance vehicles, and then break it down into family cars, commercial vehicles and luxury vehicles, each with a specific letter at the beginning, " he said

"Isn't that a Mercedes? " Nie minhui frowned, shaking his head said: "Too Messy, it is not easy to distinguish, in fact, from the classification you just can see, the car is the largest part, in this case, then you might as well follow BMW's route, all the cars, all together, 1 is compact, 3 is small, 5 series medium-large, 6 series coupe, 7 series luxury. "

Zhang Yunfeng thought for a moment, "It's not appropriate to just copy BMW's division. There are too many BMW models. In fact, one of them is just one car. Different models are actually equivalent to different versions. The division of this multi-model is messy. It's better to think of a new way to suit yourself... "

"What about the way Ody is divided? " Nie Minhui said. "One letter means the car department, and one number means the model. It's also very convenient. "

Zhang Yunfeng eyes a bright, said: "This is really more suitable some, and Audi models are not many, such a division more simple, more intuitive, but also convenient memory. "
