Super military empire

"This is nothing to fuss about. Because the turbocharged engine is something that our Ninth Institute has studied for many years, and we got samples from abroad when we first came out. This was originally intended to be used in helicopter engine technology. Naturally aspirated, whether this kind of engine is used in freight cars or armored vehicles, there is not much research due to insufficient power. Even if there is research, they are all with larger displacement. The domestic research has always been for military use. Mainly. Even now, a lot of high-tech research is also for military use. Which technology of our military-industrial system is researched for civilian use?"

The other people's faces were so embarrassed that they didn't know how to answer Zheng Hao's words.

Liu Yijiu's answer made Zheng Hao somewhat understand.

The Ninth Institute’s technology, even many of the technologies used by civilian units, were used for military use from the beginning. The domestic market economy reform was carried out. In order to recover investment and obtain more technology research and development funds, some non-core technology projects were transferred to the military. people.

The starting point of the research is for military, not civilian use.

When all the advanced technologies in the world first appeared, they were all for military purposes. Only when military technologies are more advanced will some eliminated technologies be transferred to the civilian product market.

Just like the microcomputer technology of the Ninth Academy, it has been researched for many years. It started at the same time as that in the United States, but until now, it has not transferred to the civilian market.

"In this way, we can only produce mid-to-high-end cars! The market for low-end cars is the largest. After all, not everyone who can afford a car in this world doesn't care about cost. Every year in the world The production of tens of millions of cars, most of them are low-end cars, high-end cars do not account for a large proportion!" Zheng Hao said with some worry.

Liu Yijiu's layout of the automobile industry is definitely not just the domestic market.

The domestic market does not consume many cars every year, and they are mainly concentrated in a few experimental zones of reform and opening up.

Over there, because domestic cars basically don't have much output, joint ventures entering China have not yet started to put products on the market, and basically all of them are imported.

Not to mention the high tariffs on imported cars, it also requires a lot of foreign exchange, so that those who have money who need to symbolize their status and status can only buy those cars that come in through abnormal channels from the black market.

Zheng Hao understands this kind of thing very well, because this kind of business is mostly controlled by the military.

"For now, this is all we can do. Let's not rush to produce low-end cars for the time being. How are you going to equip this style of car with technical performance?" Liu Yijiu pointed to something like Audi a4 The appearance of the car asked the staff of Jialing Factory.

Jialing Plant does not have a lot of research on power technology, or even research in this area.

Power technology is counting on the power system assistance of the Ninth Hospital.

"In the power system configuration, it is mainly equipped with turbocharged engines. There are three types of engines. In order to gain recognition from users in the larger market, and to create a classification within the same model, according to the concept you provide, it is divided into three types: high, middle and low. The transmission system has no breakthrough in the technical research of four-wheel drive. At present, only the front and rear drive can be selected, but for the production cost of the vehicle, reduce the quality, increase the ground adhesion of the driving wheels, and install and maintain It’s convenient to wait, we chose the precursor..."

"Actually, I think our car should adopt a rear drive transmission system. Although the rear drive looks a bit more complicated in terms of its advantages compared to the front drive, and the cost is slightly higher, the rear drive has better maneuverability. At the same time, it can also disperse the load on the front wheels and reduce maintenance costs...Although front-wheel drives are currently being used internationally, I personally think that rear-wheel drives are more suitable..." Guo Hong is not the chief designer of automobiles, but he is from Jialing Factory Chief engineer.

There is also some say in this regard.

Liu Yijiu frowned as he listened to the two people's argument.

The world’s debate about the front-drive and rear-drive transmission systems has lasted for decades. Before the 1970s, all cars were rear-wheel drive, and after the 1970s, most cars It is beginning to use front-wheel drive.After the 1990s, some car manufacturers adopted rear-wheel drive again.

After the first decade of entering the 21st century, the world’s cars, every model, basically customers have a choice, the same model, the same configuration, you can choose front-wheel drive or choose Rear-wheel drive, it is possible to choose four-wheel drive!

Obviously, the current Jialing factory simply does not have the ability to provide customers with so many choices.

What Liu Yijiu didn't expect was that these guys had all built samples, and I must have done a lot of performance tests. How come they still haven't reached a consensus in this regard?

"The world's mainstream is to adopt the front-wheel drive. This can reduce costs, make it more convenient to manufacture, and at the same time make the space inside the car larger!"

"Can you two stop arguing? Director Liu is an expert in this area, listen to his opinions." Seeing that Guo Hong and Yin Chongqiang were arguing again over whether to adopt the front or rear drive, Tan Qingfeng Flattering, on the other hand, it also posed a problem for Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu asked all unit leaders to understand the various technologies of their subordinate units, not requiring proficiency, only understanding.

What about him?

If he doesn't know the technology himself, why should he ask the leaders below to understand the technology?

A leader who can be mixed is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Liu Yijiu glanced at Tan Qingfeng casually. This guy's strategy of killing two birds with one stone, whether he can answer it or not, he can get something out of it.

Unfortunately, he met Director Liu.

"It is not unreasonable that front-wheel drive can occupy the mainstream of the car industry. First of all, it is to reduce costs. During the manufacturing and installation process, there is no drive shaft under the cockpit, and no rear axle housing, transmission and differential are manufactured. It is assembled in a shell, so that fewer parts are needed. At the same time, it can make it easier for the designer to install the brake system, fuel supply system and exhaust system on the bottom of the car...the parts are reduced, which can effectively Reduce the weight of the car, thereby improving acceleration, braking and fuel economy. At the same time, because the front-wheel drive bears the weight of the engine and the drive axle, it can effectively increase the tire ground adhesion..." Liu Yijiu The expression of, is more detailed than the professional researcher Yin Chongqiang.

As soon as he said these words, Tan Qingfeng and others who did not understand him opened their mouths wide enough to lay an egg.

They really did not expect that Liu Yijiu had such a detailed understanding of this aspect.

"As for the rear-wheel drive, some of the mechanical components are moved from the front of the car to the rear. The balance and operability of the car will be greatly improved. When a rear-wheel drive car accelerates, the traction will not be transferred from the front wheel. Send out, the steering performance is better when turning. This is the way all high-end cars and super sports cars in the world currently use... Because the front-wheel drive system combines the transmission and the differential together, the rear-wheel drive transmission appears The problem, you only need to replace the transmission, and the maintenance cost is lower... As for the small indoor space, as long as the independent rear suspension system is used in the design, the car body can be closer to the differential and the drive shaft. To solve this problem...The traction is small, and it can be equipped with a body stabilization electronic system and a traction control system. Both of these technologies are used on the tank, so that the rear drive can achieve the effect of the front drive..."

Even Yin Chongqiang had to admire Liu Yijiu's introduction.

However, Liu Yijiu introduced the advantages and disadvantages of the two braking methods so clearly, and put forward the solutions to the disadvantages, but he couldn't figure out whether he was optimistic about the front-drive or the rear-drive.

For any product, the opinions of the top leaders are very important.

Especially when the position of this leader is unshakable.

Unlike foreign technology R&D personnel, when they have ideas about their own designs, they will stick to their ideas and try to convince opponents who disagree with them.When such domestic disputes are endless, the solution is to listen to the opinions of the leaders, and the leaders decide what they want.

Tan Qingfeng really didn't dare to call the shots. Now Liu Yijiu is here, and he personally proposed and arranged the layout of the automobile industry, so he naturally took care of it.

Faced with such an ambiguity, like He Xini's answer, no one knew which one Liu Yijiu preferred.

Tan Qingfeng first flattered Liu Yijiu's understanding of cars. "Director Liu is really good. There are basically not many people in China who can compare the professionalism of automobiles." After the flattering was completed, he asked Liu Yijiu. Said, "Director Liu, for these two transmission methods, are you optimistic about front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive?"

This has to let Liu Yijiu decide, that even if something goes wrong in the future, he will not bear any responsibility.

Liu Yijiu gave Tan Qingfeng a meaningful look again, and smiled and said to him, "Both braking methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and both are good!"

"Then should we choose front-drive or rear-drive?" Tan Qingfeng cursed secretly in his heart, but there was a puzzled expression on his face.

Tan Qingfeng would definitely not give up if Liu Yijiu said the exact answer.

This is an important issue related to the future.

If the superior leader has no one to decide, the leadership responsibility system will eventually put the responsibility on him.In this way, even if the market situation is very good, it doesn't matter if the leader has to take some credit. It is better than putting all the responsibility for failure on his own head.
