Chapter 257 The First Car Engine

Huang Yong See Zhang Yunfeng has been thinking in silence, the heart can not help but some drum, he thought Zhang Yunfeng is not good at this position, so, he tentatively asked a sentence, said: "Zhang, you are not interested in this project? "

Zhang Yunfeng has been communicating with Shōni, heard Huang Yong call himself, Leng Leng Leng, "No, I'm interested in human-computer interaction, " he said. "human-computer interaction is now a Armando of Apple. The user experience has always been good, but apple's Siri is only available on apple devices, and there's still a gap in other mobile platforms. "

"Zhang, you don't want to make a siri-like software directly, do you? " Huang Yong asked in surprise. "I don't think we have the technical capability to do that yet. It would be easier to start with text interaction. "

Zhang Yunfeng waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about anything else, " he said. "The client, the client, is really just a dialog window. Make sure it's as simple as possible. The user opens the dialog window and speaks. The software automatically recognizes if the user has stopped speaking. Once the user has stopped speaking, it automatically sends the Audio back to the server for analysis, and the server sends the instructions back to the client. "

"That's it? " Huang Yong asked in surprise. "You mean, I led the team to develop an external shell. What about the core? Who Developed The library? "

Zhang Yunfeng laughs: "My side of the team has already started this research, when the time comes, the core code by me to provide, you do not have to worry. "

Said, Zhang Yunfeng suddenly remembered a problem, said: "That's right, there is a task to hand over to you, as soon as possible to implement the construction of the Server room, the initial server bandwidth to reach the scale of more than 10 trillion. "

"10,000... " Huang Yong listened to the scalp tingling, so powerful server bandwidth, even if running a tens of thousands of people online online games is not a problem, used to do a human-computer interaction software, is not too wasteful some?

But Huang Yong also knew that Zhang Yunfeng had plenty of money. He had more than $3 billion in software. Building a server in one million place was just a piece of cake. He thought, since Zhang Yunfeng was willing to spend money, he would do what he wanted, and, most importantly, Huang Yong also is not clear, Zhang Yunfeng's team, this time will be able to design this interactive software to what extent, if it really shine, I am afraid to make a lot of money?

Huang Yong was already worried that the company had no new project to do, so he just found out how to do human computer interaction software, now Zhang Yunfeng suddenly in the mood, that he also had a real development task, after Zhang Yunfeng left, he immediately put the company's Development Department heads together for a meeting, changed the original intention, according to the requirements of Zhang Yunfeng to do.

Originally, Zhang Yunfeng was not going to concentrate too much on the software field. The biggest reason was that it was difficult for him to transfer the software from his mind to the computer, but now he has Shōni, the software industry is A...Very'eavy...Very'Umble for me, and a great way to earn cash, so Zhang picked up the industry again and let Shōni develop it for me and run it for me.

From Dongchen Technology, Zhang Yunfeng went to Zhongchen new material company. Now, the aluminum alloy and alloy steel he needs have more than 100,000 tons of finished products. Zhang Yunfeng decided to ship all these raw materials to Shijiazhuang, the engine production line has long been completed, and, their own secret high-precision machining center is constantly improving and improving itself, for the automotive industry, its precision is higher than the industry needs too much.

Now that the materials are available, it's time for Zhang to turn his three models into reality.

Dozens of tons of the material are transported directly to Shijiazhuang in trucks, and new aluminum alloys are used to make engine blocks and other components, which can be done on the engine assembly line.

However, currently Woerwo does not have the strength to produce gearboxes. Most of its gearboxes are purchased directly from Ford. Zhang Yunfeng has not yet been able to mass-produce gearboxes, so he can only send alloy steel into the processing center, the gear and transmission parts of the gearbox are made by a machining centre to replace the same parts from Ford's gearbox.

At this point, the engine production line at Wo'erwo has finally started to work again. However, since most of the production steps have been fully automated, the entire factory has more than 1,000 people, but now only need less than 300 people can be fully operational, but Zhang Yunfeng did not fire anyone, because once the Dongchen car brand hit out, these people will be put to use.

Production resumed, and the Assembler got the assembly drawing given by Zhang Yunfeng, which did not reveal much about the interior of the engine, but the Assembler could use the drawing, finish the manual assembly and test of some engine parts.

However, the workers on this production line were surprised to find that the products produced on the production line were no longer the same as the previous engines of the Volvos. The main engines were two models, 2.0 and 3.0, the company has never produced a small engine, but Zhang was the first to produce a small 1.4 emission V4 that was never produced.

I don't know all the workers are a little disappointed, because they thought that after Dong Chen took over Woerwo, he was going to develop it into a cheap brand, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible to produce a 1.4 engine in the first place, you know, a 1.4 engine car, at best, it could cover anything under 100,000 vehicles, and with a turbocharged engine, it could not exceed 150,000, whereas Volvos, which had never been involved in making cars under 200,000, had never before.

The shape of the engine, which is mostly automated, is a bit different from a normal 1.4 engine, slightly smaller and about 40 kg lighter than a normal 1.4 engine, weighing in at just 70 kg, it looks flimsy and not nearly as thick as a Volkswagen engine.

The workers had a private conversation, usually like the popular 1.4 engine, which actually has about 85 horsepower, but it looked so fragile and disagreeable, like a piece of paper, with 70 horsepower, i'm afraid that's a blessing? The Volkswagen 1.4 turbocharged engine, the horsepower, is around 130. Can it be 110 with turbocharged? I don't think so.

If the horse power is not enough, then this kind of engine on the car, I guess it can only meet the standard of Geely own brand, right? Not even the Dong Lei of the Geely engine..

However, even if everyone with deep doubts and doubts, but the work still must be completed, just when they buried themselves in work with doubts, but did not know, this engine, is the basic 1.4 engine in Zhang Yunfeng's mind, it is also the gold engine that will drive the small-displacement car market in the future. It has been rated as the top ten engines in the world by ward auto world for many years in a row. It is also praised as the legendary engine that will change the whole auto market pattern.

The engine, which has a power output of 130 horsepower without a turbocharger, is comparable to most 2.0 naturally aspirated engines today, but uses about the same amount of fuel as a Fox, golf or Bora, it uses about 5.5 litres of fuel per 100km, about the same as a normal 1.4 engine.

That is to say, without any increase in fuel consumption, the engine power of a car, has increased by about 40 percent, not only for small cars, but even for medium-sized cars.

And, depending on the type and configuration of the car, you can pick and choose the turbocharger, while the turbocharger, which is also designed and built with new technology and new materials, can once again boost the engine to 180 horsepower, is a perfect match, the combination of the two, in the future for a long time, are the first choice of household cars, high performance, strong power, low fuel consumption, low pollution, extremely cost-effective.

It took several days for the engine to complete all the production procedures, officially off-line, together with the supporting turbocharger, both off-line, factory Test Staff will be impatient to the engine to be hoisted to the test bed, after installation, waiting for the next Zhang Yunfeng's command.

As it was the first prototype, all the employees basically came to the scene to see how the thin engine was, and the Tester did all the preparation work at this time, zhang Yunfeng said: "Zhang, has connected to the test equipment, we wait for you to announce the start of the test. "

Zhang Yunfeng smiled, nodded and said, "you can start. "

The test is to push the engine to its limit, to see how much power it can produce at that limit, and the red numbers on the display show the engine's real-time output in kilowatts.

At the start of the test, the engine was already started, and then the tester increased the amount of fuel to give it maximum power, and the engine responded very gently to the first ignition, the starting sound and the initial idle sound of the engine are very small, so many hold the breath to breathe in the staff waiting for the result at first was a little relieved, even if the engine power is insufficient, but so good mute performance is also very good, to a certain extent, can make up for the lack of power.

But when the gas pedal went up, the engine exploded!

It wasn't the noise, because the sound was still very steady, but the red numbers on the display were rolling fast!

Just in the blink of an eye, the number on the power display kept rolling over to the top of sixty!

The Workers Hoo Hoo Hoo! They are the old guns of the engine industry, 60 kilowatts of power, they can be converted into horsepower in the mind, about 82 horsepower, has been close to the same displacement engine with the public! The fact that our engine, though turbocharged, is lighter and quieter than a VW engine, and can reach 60 so quickly, proves that it has good acceleration!

But the rolling of the numbers is far from over!

As the amount of fuel is increasing, the number is still rolling up, the first wave of workers is not over, the number broke a hundred! That's 136 horsepower! But the numbers haven't stopped, they're still going up!
