With Yao Yuan's capital injection, the development of the two-stroke engine went smoothly, and there was no problem in reaching mass production within the specified time.
Yao Yuan does not plan to make motorcycle development the main business of Directional Machinery, so he will not take away King Zuo's job.
However, the two-stroke engine is very critical and is critical to the start of steering machinery.
It is related to the success or failure of the first product that Directional Machinery is about to launch.
Zhan Chenggui and Yuri said hello. They got along well with each other. One was working hard to learn Russian and the other was working hard to learn Chinese. They were both trying to solve the communication barriers.
When I came to a shelf, there was an engine like a transformer on it. It had a neat appearance. This was the key. It showed that Zhan Chenggui fully considered the overall design factors of the future finished product when designing.
On this point, Yao Yuan expressed satisfaction, as all the previous warnings had worked.
Then look at the workmanship. There are so many precision machine tools, and they are worked by masters hired from large state-owned factories. In addition, Yuri’s team includes two senior skilled workers from the original Pilsen Machinery Factory. They use imported materials and the craftsmanship is so good.
The block is impeccable.
It would be more appropriate to say it is a work of art.
Zhan Chenggui began to introduce, "We have done a lot of tests, and the power has reached 9.5 kilowatts, the maximum torque is 11 Nm, and the total service life is 12,000 hours, which comprehensively exceeds the technical indicators you proposed. Mr. Yao, the product has reached mass production standards.
.”
After he finished speaking, he raised his chin slightly and was very proud.
Yao Yuan was very surprised. He frowned and said, "The power has reached 9.5 kilowatts? The maximum torque is 11 Nm?"
"Yes." Zhan Chenggui pointed to Yuri, "Comrade Yuri, please introduce the detailed technical parameters and the technology we use to Mr. Yao in detail."
Yuri opened his mouth and spoke very quickly. Even Chen Mingliang couldn't understand it at the end, but when he looked at Yao Yuan, he seemed to understand easily.
After talking for about ten minutes, Yuri finished.
Yao Yuan said, dumbfounded, "You use electronic injection technology. Don't tell me that the gasoline you used for testing was re-refined."
"Yes, Mr. Yao, with the electronic injection technology alone, I think this product has fully met your requirement that more than 90% of it is self-developed technology." Yuri smiled, "In order to maximize the
After digging out the engine data, we purified the gasoline sold on the market twice, and finally tested the two largest technical parameters of 9.5 kilowatts and 11 Nm."
He is very proud.
The engine only has 8.5kW and 10Nm, of course they can be proud!
Yao Yuan is really convinced by Zhan Chenggui and Yuri. These two weirdos have not yet become famous. The reason why they will become famous in the future really does not come out of thin air. Look, they have already shown amazing abilities.
!
The use of electronic injection technology can improve the efficiency of fuel utilization, fuel combustion is more complete, and of course the power can be increased!
"You actually came up with electronic injection technology..." Yao Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, almost not spraying out.
Zhan Chenggui said with a smile, "Mr. Yao, Comrade Yuri and I told you that this is a surprise for you. This EFI technology belongs to us."
Chen Mingliang quickly added, "Mr. Yao, the EFI technology has been submitted to the Patent and Legal Affairs Department. We need to apply for domestic patents first and then apply for foreign patents."
Applying for a new technology as soon as it comes out is Yao Yuan’s hard requirement.
The two legal teams under He Xueli are also the legal teams of Chunfeng Academy of Sciences. Yao Yuan personally serves as the dean of Chunfeng Academy of Sciences, and his team naturally becomes the administrative management team of the dean of Chunfeng Academy of Sciences.
Yao Yuan recalled for a while and said, "Honda and Suzuki's mass-produced motorcycles all seem to use carburetors, right?"
"This is currently the case, so Mr. Yao, once our engine is put into commercial use, it will definitely lead the technological trend of motorcycles!" Zhan Chenggui said enthusiastically, his eyes shining.
Yao Yuan still shook his head and smiled bitterly, and asked, "Is it open-loop EFI or closed-loop EFI?"
One question reflects Yao Yuan's technical ability.
Yuri couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Yao, do you also do research on electronic technology?"
Yao Yuan waved his hand and said, "I still understand the principle, although I am not proficient in it. How do you solve the problem of ECU when you are doing EFI?"
The core of EFI technology is the electronic control unit, also known as ECU. Yao Yuan vaguely remembers that the first domestic car equipped with an EFI engine would not be launched until 2002.
The best ECU manufacturer in the world is Bosch. Most of the cars in later generations use their products, occupying a monopoly position.
But motorcycles using electronic injection engines...
If it were not for the country's increasingly strict emission control, few manufacturers would be willing to adopt this technology.
Because the advantages of EFI technology are placed on motorcycles, there is actually no obvious difference in the effect. Using EFI technology saves fuel, makes less noise, is easy to start, etc. However, with the advancement of technology, the use of carburetors
The engine can also do a good job in these aspects.
However, motorcycles using EFI engines are much more expensive.
Men's motorcycles cost tens of thousands of yuan. Men's motorcycles are exactly the same, but use a carburetor engine. They only cost three to four thousand yuan, and the price difference is more than half.
Yuri was a little embarrassed. He coughed and said, "Have I not been working on a small-displacement four-cylinder turbocharged engine? Electronic injection technology is one of the important components. The engine has been installed.
An electronic nozzle is installed at the position of the injector. The electronic control unit was written by the electronic technicians of my team. The function is relatively simple, but there is no problem in reducing fuel consumption and making combustion more complete."
Yao Yuan suddenly became happy, "You also have electronic technicians in your team."
"Yes, we have basically all the personnel, but we are short of manpower." Yuri said.
This was not just a surprise, it was pie in the sky.
You must know that EFI technology is still a popular technology that many major manufacturers are stepping up development of, and it is still in an immature and unstable state.
Chunfeng Academy of Sciences has actually developed its own EFI technology, which means it is on the same starting line as other major manufacturers.
I never expected that Yuri's team poached from the Czech Republic would have such a treasure as an electronic technology researcher.
At the same time, it also reminded Yao Yuan that research on electronic technology must begin.
Yao Yuan said with emotion, "Research on electronic technology is a bottomless pit, but I will fully support your research. In this way, the automotive electronic technology should be listed separately. You will be responsible for it, and I will provide separate research funds."
His first sentence was about electronic technology, and his second sentence was about automotive electronic technology. No one could hear Yao Yuan's ambition.
The scope of electronic technology is too great...
In another 10 years, the annual R&D funding of 20 billion US dollars will only be enough for electronic technology research and development...
"Really?" Yuri was dumbfounded. This kind of surprise appeared too easily.
"Of course it's true." Yao Yuan waved his hand, "If you want to do it, do it bigger, do it better, and do it in a more sophisticated direction. Again, don't worry about funding."
Yuri was very excited, "Thank you Mr. Yao!"
The engine was not much different from his guess. It was indeed a relatively simple electronic injection device. It could not achieve the precise control that would be achieved twenty years later. For example, it was unable to adjust based on the oxygen content in the exhaust pipe.
However, even so, it is at least 10 years ahead of other domestic manufacturers!
However, even if it is as perfect as it will be twenty years later, he has no intention of using this technology now.
Expressing satisfaction with the results of the project, he then said seriously, "First of all, I am very satisfied with the work of your two teams. Your results exceeded my expectations."
"I have decided to list electronic injection technology as a track and in-depth research catalog, and the main direction is automobile engines, not motorcycle engines. However, for at least five years, there will be no plans to put engines using this technology into mass-produced models."
Zhan Chenggui was the first to become anxious, "Why? Mr. Yao, using this technology will save more fuel and provide more fuel. You can say this is our signature!"
After finally developing a technology that can fill the gap in the country, who doesn’t want to put it into commercial use so that more people can benefit from the new technology?
Chen Mingliang didn't understand either, but he didn't dare to object on the spot like Zhan Chenggui did.
Yuri didn't understand either, but he had a higher emotional intelligence and did not object immediately. Instead, he seriously thought about why Yao Yuan wanted to hide this technology.
No, to be precise, it is not to hide it, but to continue to conduct in-depth research but not put it into commercial use.
New technologies must be put into commercial use as soon as possible in exchange for money. Only with money can we continue to invest in research and development. Only in this way can we form a healthy closed loop, which is the long-term solution.
Yao Yuan is obviously not a short-sighted person, so there must be other reasons.
Most of the engines used by other domestic manufacturers now come from foreign technologies. The engines are new things with their own obvious technical characteristics based on multiple foreign mass-produced engines of the same displacement, that is, a brand-new engine.
This is already a few steps ahead of other manufacturers. Coupled with the electronic injection technology, you can imagine how hot sales will be in the future.
This is what everyone, including Zhan Chenggui, thinks.
At this time, Shirley He had finished talking to Jitaro Sanmu about the contract. Jitaro Sanmu hurried back to the hotel to make long-distance calls to the head office. Shirley He came over and after knowing everyone's doubts, he also fell into deep thought.
Obviously, she doesn't understand either.
What Yao Yuan is best at is exchanging technology for funds. Isn’t that what the cooperation with Mitsubishi Motors is like?
Why do we come up with new technologies but don’t launch them on the market?
