Rebirth 2008: I Can Make Money Reading

Chapter 384 Nathan mocked again

The National Day holiday is closed, and employees of Xinghai Group officially go to work.

Mu Yang went to investigate the progress of the Future 01 and Future 02 projects. These two cars are the top models of the Xinghai Group. They are not used to make money from these two cars, they are just used as a vehicle for technology display.

For the future series of cars, each component is manufactured with unique ingenuity.

The car logo that Muyang attaches great importance to, its main material is titanium alloy and other materials with high corrosion resistance.

First, a three-dimensional model is processed by a five-axis linkage machining center instead of precision casting; this machine tool is specially used for processing high-precision complex curved surfaces, and is the only means to solve the processing of impellers, blades, heavy-duty generator rotors, etc., representing With a country's top machine tool level, Xinghai Group paid a high price for two five-axis linkage machining centers.

Therefore, in terms of craftsmanship, it is too high-end to process car logos. Even if a car logo is processed in a few hours, the processing cost will cost a lot of money.

Secondly, manual grinding is carried out to ensure the surface roughness.

The last process is to use electroplating to change the color, which is not easy to do well.

Mu Yang also thought about adding different materials with a 3D printer, and then changing the color with a laser.

That is, at different temperatures, the surface color of the nickel alloy will change. If you want to control it well and control it into a pattern, the process is very difficult to control, it is too difficult to do, and finally you have to give up.

The Xinghai Group spent a lot of energy and material resources just to make this car logo, and it may not be possible to make it even if it has money.

The car logo on the front cover looks like Optimus Prime's shield, implying super bulletproof ability.

At the rear of the car is a letter "WEILAI", which means "future". There are two embossed characters "future" on the lower left of the buttocks, and the embossed characters "01PHEV" (plug-in hybrid) or "02EV" (pure electric) on the lower right.

The Mirai 02 belongs to the sports car category and looks like the future Porsche Mission E electric concept sports car.

Generally speaking, the length and size of supercars are relatively short, more about 4.5 meters, which are two-seater sports cars, but there are also more than 5 meters, such as Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Future 02 is a two-door four-seater hardtop sports car with a size of 5000*2000*1280. Compared with most sports cars, the size is relatively large, but it looks grand.

The whole body is made of super-strong titanium alloy and carbon fiber in a large area. Whether you can see it or not, the whole body is made of top-notch materials.

The matching motor is the latest permanent magnet motor of Xinghai Group. The front 1+rear 2 motors are configured, and the power output can reach a maximum horsepower of 750 horsepower. With the four-wheel drive configuration, the super horsepower can accelerate to 100km/h in 2.3 seconds , the top speed can reach 380km/h, and Xinghai Group's active aerodynamic system (PAA) and drag suppression system (DRS) are also installed at the front and rear of the car.

In order to reduce the weight of the body and ensure the power, the battery life is relatively inferior, only 600 kilometers, but for sports cars, this battery life is enough.

Different from other sports cars, the Future 02 is a bulletproof sports car, with five doors, one cover and the bottom plate all reinforced. Therefore, even if titanium alloy and carbon fiber are used in a large area, and the body is relatively long, the weight of the whole car is still 2050 kg. .

The height of the chassis is about the same as that of an ordinary Porsche sports car, and the passability is good. The super reinforcement is not afraid of bumps at all, and those slowing belts are just pediatrics.

"How about the results of the bulletproof test and waterproof test?" Mu Yang came to the test site and asked the person in charge of the future 02 project.

Mirai 01 and Mirai 02 not only require strong bulletproof ability, but also require excellent waterproof performance.

It is very difficult to make a car waterproof, not only to prevent water from entering the car, but also to prevent water from eroding the circuits outside the car.

If the circuit touches water, it will definitely not work, and it will cause a short circuit to burn.

If it is a gasoline car, the engine is used for driving. Because of the exhaust pipe, it is too difficult to prevent the water from pouring back.

But if it's an electric car, you don't need an exhaust pipe. Generally, the exhaust pipe on an electric car is just for decoration.

In any case, cars are very afraid of being submerged in water. After the car is soaked in water, the vulnerable parts circuits, electrical appliances, precision instruments, heat and sound insulation materials, and oil are easily damaged. Even if this kind of car is repaired, there are still potential safety hazards.

When buying a second-hand car, one is afraid of an accident car, and the other is that you are afraid of running into a car soaked in water. There are especially many second-hand cars soaked in water in July and August after the rainy season.

The Xinghai Group wants to make the car not afraid of flooding, not just to prevent the car from being soaked in water in floods, which is too childish, but to ensure that it will not be corroded by water when driving in water.

It can be said that the future car series is a car that can travel in water for a short time.

The person in charge of the project replied respectfully: "Chairman, the bulletproof effect of Future 02 is worse than that of Future 01. After all, the thickness of the bulletproof glass and plate is a little thinner. It is still no problem to resist a sniper rifle shot. If you shoot at the same position, the glass will definitely break. up;

In the three-meter deep water test, if it is in a static state, it can guarantee that it will not enter the water for 24 hours, but if it is in a driving state, it can only guarantee that it will not enter the water for 30 minutes. Even if we can isolate the water for a long time, the water will corrode the parts and materials that do not use anti-corrosion materials, and we cannot purchase suitable materials. "

Mu Yang nodded and understood that it is not so easy to make a car waterproof. This has a lot to do with the sealing structure, not just the sealing material.

For example, the waterproof performance of a car door is not as good as that of a faucet that costs a few dollars. The former is a compression-sealed type, while the latter is a threaded structure.

For Mirai 01 and Mirai 02, under normal driving conditions, it is already very good that they can guarantee no water ingress for 30 minutes.

If the structure of the car is greatly changed in order to prevent the car from being soaked, other car companies can also achieve better waterproof performance, but it is of little significance, and the cost and weight of the car will increase.

Muyang is engaged in Future 01 and Future 02, regardless of cost to manufacture, and also intends to accumulate experience in waterproof performance.

The future 01 is priced at 30 million yuan, the extended version is 35 million yuan, and the future 02 is priced at 25 million yuan. It is not affordable for ordinary rich people. If someone buys it, you can get back some of the cost. It doesn’t matter if no one buys it. Mu Yang plans to play by himself.

"The performance requirements I mentioned are not a bunch of data, but to lay the foundation for some future products. If any aspect fails to meet the requirements, we must find out the reason.

If the material cannot be purchased in the market, it should be proposed to the manufacturer;

If the manufacturer can't make it anymore, we may have to develop and produce it ourselves. Don't tell me that if there is no one in the market, we won't do it. What is our Xinghai Group doing? We are a world leader in technology, not a copycat. Each of you R\u0026D personnel must have this awareness.

The seal is a special component in hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, which is directly related to the performance of the whole set of equipment.

In the future, our company will develop in this direction. Mu Yang emphasized that the research and development personnel of the project team probably thought that the performance requirements he raised might be wrong. For example, he needed a soft rubber sealing ring that can withstand high temperatures of 700 to 800 degrees Celsius and corrosion resistance, which is not sold in the market at all. Can't do it either.

This requirement seems excessive, but the requirement is not outrageous, and it is not a rubber material or silicone that requires a higher melting temperature than steel.

"Okay, chairman, I understand." The project leader was very nervous when he saw the chairman lost his temper. He heard that the chairman rarely loses his temper.

"Well, the failure of research and development is not important, but as the person in charge, you must have the spirit of not being afraid of difficulties, let alone being the second in the world." Mu Yang nodded and said again, "The performance parameters I require, It’s not a joke, I feel that if there is a problem, I can raise it, and if I can’t solve the technology, I have to raise it in time after repeated research, but I’m afraid of failure and don’t do it, this kind of concept is bad.”

The project leader and other R\u0026D personnel around Muyang listened carefully to the teachings.

After Mu Yang finished speaking, he left.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the chairman leave.

An engineer saw the chairman leave, and said to the project team leader next to him: "Boss, it's not easy, I didn't expect the chairman to be angry."

"It's me, and I'd be angry too. There's something wrong with our work attitude." The project leader said after a moment of silence, "It's too easy to be complacent about the status quo. We actually rely on the platform of Xinghai Group to build Future 02. The shape design is The chairman did it, what is there to be proud of.

Let's look at other project teams, and then look at the company's self-developed technology. It is a shame to be world-class!

Of course, the chairman also said that everyone should not be afraid of failure. I have heard him emphasize many times not to be afraid of failure, but to accumulate experience and not to make repeated mistakes. No one can tolerate this. It is a waste of money and energy! "

After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands and encouraged everyone: "Many of us were recruited into Xinghai Group by the society, I don't know what you think, don't think about fooling around here to get a generous year-end bonus, it's not so easy to get, no I feel ashamed when it comes out.

The company makes us worry-free in terms of life and salary, and we also want to make the chairman worry-free. Come on everyone. "

"come on!"

"The team leader said well, come on, come on! After finally getting into the Xinghai Group, of course you have to work hard."

Mu Yang's inspection this time has a great effect on motivating employees.

On October 10th, the public relations department reported to Mu Yang that Xinghai Group's Future 01 and Future 02 had been exposed.

Mu Yang has long expected that his wedding will use Future 01 and Future 02 to receive guests, and let the driver explain the parameters and pricing to the guests. After these people go back, they will definitely have a chat with their friends.

Moreover, media reporters have also noticed Mirai 01 and Mirai 02, and will also interview them.

However, these news reached General Motors Vice President Nathan, and then he started mocking mode again: "Xinghai Group has not yet achieved the mass production of Hummer EV, but also produced Future 01 and Future 02, a car produced in Huaguo, It sold for 4.4 million US dollars!

This price is outrageous, even more expensive than Rolls-Royce. Does Xinghai Group mean that the future brand has already surpassed Rolls-Royce?

I'm sure no one bought it.

I think Mr. Mu should ensure the production capacity of Hummer EV as soon as possible. He wants to complete the delivery of 50,000 new cars in July next year. "

When Mu Yang saw such news, he didn't even bother to reply, and asked the public relations department to leave him alone.

The mass production of Hummer EV is relatively smooth, but it has not been disclosed. It is very likely that the new car will be delivered before New Year's Day.

At that time, the pre-sale of Future 01 and Future 02 will also start.

Apart from work, Mu Yang is more concerned about his wife's situation. He is now very much a father.

After getting off work at night, when Mu Yang came home, the first thing he did was wrap his hands around Song Xuelu's waist and put his ears on Song Xuelu's stomach, as if he was listening.

Song Xue stroked his head, smiled and said, "Husband, don't be like this, I haven't reached the first month of pregnancy, and my stomach hasn't grown up yet, how could there be any movement!"

"That's not necessarily the case. My Mu Yang's seeds must be different." Mu Yang felt that the people who cheated must be different.

Song Xuelu asked softly: "Okay, then do you think it's a boy or a girl?"

"Hey, son, did you hear that?" Mu Yang caressed Song Xuelu's stomach and called softly, and said after a while, "Wife, look, there is no reply, it must be a daughter. Hello daughter, dad, my little padded jacket."

Song Xuelu was amused by Mu Yang's actions, and patted his face lightly to prevent him from sticking to her belly.
