Three satellites have been customized from Americans before, but due to various reasons, the assembly has not been completed. Now it seems that we have to think of a way, not to delay like this all the time.
At present, the priority should be given to the military vehicle project, and the others can only be slowed down. You still have to send someone to urge it, or else it will be easy to be bullied by the Black Cloud Group!
There are really limited companies in the world that can develop and produce satellites. The production enterprises of powerful communication network satellites are even more so. It seems that we still have to rely on ourselves, and we can only think of ways from the Soviet Union.
It's not enough. These are the things that will happen later. Tony Bloom's top priority is to get the communication system and GPS of the new military vehicle.
Bao Zixuan: "Dr. O'Brien, you are responsible for connecting with Dr. Tony Bloom. Then Bruce will do the technical integration and overall planning."
The two immediately understood that Oblak was born in Heiyun Mobile. The power supply system is just an incidental, it seems that the communication system is the ultimate purpose of transferring him. Since the boss has calculated everything, just execute it.
In fact, Bao Zixuan really didn't think that far, he just asked Yul Engel to send competent personnel to Heiyun Automobile. After seeing Oblak, he made up his mind temporarily and added some burdens to him.
Bao Zixuan continued, "How is the power system test?"
The most important thing in a car is the power system, which can be said to be the top priority. There are minor flaws in other parts that can be adjusted and repaired. Defects in the powertrain can cause the vehicle to be inherently inadequate; if something goes wrong, there is no hope of improvement.
The person in charge of the power system did not dare to neglect, and quickly stood up and said: "At present, both engines have been tested and can fully meet the requirements. One of them is diesel-powered, with an output power of 340 horsepower, and can pull 30 tons of heavy objects at 80 kilometers per hour, 320 kilometers."
"The other is a mixed fuel power, which can be used with all fuels on the market, including alcohol. When using kerosene, the power output is the largest, which can reach 300 horses, and the rest depends on the fuel conditions."
"It's just that a hybrid oil-powered engine needs to be maintained once every 3,000 kilometers; a major maintenance is required for 6,000 kilometers. At present, it can only be maintained in a professional structure, preferably in a factory."
The horsepower of the diesel engine is good enough, but I didn't expect to develop a hybrid oil-powered engine. It can definitely play a big role during the war, at least not worry about logistics.
The technical seminar participants are all engineering men, and they are very knowledgeable about technology. Even if you don't graduate from the engine major, you know how important and difficult to break through the technology inside.
It is now developed by the group, at least proven in the field of engines. Black Cloud has not lost any company, including the traditional German auto giant.
Bao Zixuan: "Very good, the power problem is solved. It is not far from success. Now it seems that the cost of the engine alone can be recovered; the rest is earned. I hope everyone can make persistent efforts and complete the task together."
At this time, not only the employees of Heiyun Automobile, but also the engineering and technical personnel dispatched by Motorola were excited. Black cloud technology has done this, and it seems that American car companies are in danger. In fact, there was also a female engineer meditating over there, and she seemed to be a little worried.
Hybrid fuel power has always been a dream. During World War II, Germany also mastered such technology, but it was not very mature. I don't know how Heiyun's engineers did it, it's just incredible.
The hybrid oil-powered engine was also found in the information brought from Poland. German genius scientists have solved many technical problems, but the war is over before the final verification.
In fact, not only the mixed oil engine, but also the coal-to-oil technology. It's just that it's more troublesome to have, and now only a small team is doing in-depth research.
Bao Zixuan does not plan to popularize in the short term, after all, the cost of converting coal to oil is ridiculously high.
The more he sorted out the documents left by Germany, the more shocked Bao Zixuan was. From 1936 to 1943, Germany successively established 11 sets of coal liquefaction plants. By 1944, the number of coal-to-oil conversions in Germany reached its peak, with a total of 4 million tons of fuel oil being liquefied from coal.
It directly supports two-thirds of the Air Force and half of the Army's fuel, which shows how crazy it is.
However, in comparison, the cost of converting coal to oil is much higher. A conversion plant with an annual output of 1 million tons requires an investment of over US$1 billion; it consumes 5 million tons of raw coal and 10 million tons of water every year.
If there is no way, who will do thankless things. After all, the oil converted from coal has many inherent deficiencies. Compared with traditional petroleum refining oil, there are too many disadvantages.
This is also the direct reason why German engineers were able to develop a hybrid oil-powered engine; after all, there are many problems with oil to consider. It seems that some things are really forced out, at least in the German engineers.
Now these are all cheaper for Bao Zixuan and Heiyun Group, otherwise it would be so easy to develop results. It can be said that the richest man in the package is standing on the shoulders of giants to see the problem, the height and distance are enough.
In terms of power, continuous testing is required, and in the end, it is necessary to rely on experimental data to speak.
As a military product, the protection capability is very critical.
Bao Zixuan continued to ask: "How is the development of the protective armor, can it meet the requirements of the US military?"
Although it is not necessarily only developed for the US side, everything is still based on their technical indicators. At this time, the United States has an authoritative type, and it is a country that can define the combat elements of the next generation of military vehicles.
The safety of military products must be guaranteed, not only in use, but also in combat. Without strong protection capabilities, that country will not purchase. This has nothing to do with relationship and friendship, and no one dares to let soldiers use weapons and equipment with potential safety hazards. In that case, even if there is no mutiny, it is easy to be shot by his subordinates.
The army is a major matter of the country, and it cannot be perfunctory or sloppy. The national leadership, and the army generals, dare not take such a big risk and use military vehicles with insufficient armor protection.
In terms of armor, Bao Zixuan found German Thyssen and Krupp to cooperate, and the two companies have absolute authority in this regard. At least in terms of armor strength, it is absolutely recognized by the world.
This time, Thyssen is the main company, and Mia von Rehart came to the United States as a senior engineer of Thyssen. The provision of armor materials is only the first step. There is no original factory guidance in terms of processing, and it is impossible to play.
Although the Black Cloud Group has mastered the titanium alloy processing technology, it is installed on the civilian customized version of the vehicle. If the use of titanium alloys for the US side, not to mention whether the funds will seriously exceed the standard, even the Soviets will not agree. It's strange that Lao Maozi doesn't turn his back on you, it's a matter of principle.
In addition to titanium alloy, Bao Zixuan is not very familiar with other metal materials. It is imperative to find a strong partner without any help at all.
Relations with the Germans have always been good, and Thyssen and Krupp are also very interested in the armoring of military vehicles. At least through the Black Cloud Group, their products can be promoted to the world.
From the name, Mia von Rehart knew that she was of noble birth. It is not surprising in itself that German girls specialize in science and engineering. However, it is very rare for a traditional German aristocratic woman to engage in basic material research, and it is also the existence of phoenix water chestnut in Germany.
In Thyssen Company, no one dared to take Miss Rehart's existence lightly. Mia von Rehart graduated from the Technical University of Munich with a Ph.D. in Basic Materials. He has been interested in metal materials since he was a child, and he chose basic materials major when he was studying in university. At that time, she was strongly criticized by her family, but this stubborn young lady insisted on persevering.
In the end, the family couldn't do anything about her, and besides, the political environment at that time was not popular for the aristocracy. If you keep the tradition blindly, you will even become the public enemy of the people. It was under these circumstances that Miss Mia von Rehart completed her studies and successfully obtained her Ph.D.
It is not easy to be a chief engineer at the age of 35, not to mention that this person is a woman. Before coming here, the eldest lady was very arrogant, but after coming to Heiyun Automobile, her arrogance gradually disappeared. There are too many talented engineers here, and although they belong to different fields, the results that can be achieved are very admirable.
For mixed fuel engines, it is more of a whimsical existence. Unexpectedly, the Black Cloud Group has been developed and tested successfully. It was definitely a feat, and he was worried about the German auto industry at this time.
The cooperation must be dominated by Heiyun Automobile, which is the task that the boss personally explained. She had been listening to other engineers reporting on her work, and now it was finally her turn.
Miss Rehart, who has never been reconciled to falling behind since she was a child, will certainly not disappoint.
