Chapter 136 The New Car Certification Arrives

Supercapacitors belong to the power plant 'module'.

Its advantages: fast charging, fast discharging, no explosion, no spontaneous combustion, tens of millions of charging cycles, and no excessive heat emission.

Its disadvantages: the volume is slightly larger, the storage capacity is far lower than that of the battery, and the self-discharge speed is fast. If it is left unused, its own power will run out soon.

Its function: rectification and voltage stabilization, temporary storage of electric energy, and improvement of electric energy output.

To start a gas turbine, it is necessary to quickly increase the internal temperature to 1600°C~3000°C, and the fuel consumption in the initial stage is 20~50 times that after full start.

In order to avoid consuming more fuel for repeated start-ups and to save all the electricity generated by one start-up, mechanical designers have increased the number of supercapacitors considering the large amount of power generated by gas turbines, which is about 100 degrees per hour.

First lay a layer on the bottom of the car with a thickness of 5cm, the whole is like a door panel, and then install a piece under the seat, which is square and square like a battery, extending the self-discharge cycle to 7 days.

And these seven days will show a decay process.

100%、90%、75%、60%、40%、15%……

According to Foreman's thinking, since the supercapacitor is self-discharging, I charge it every day, even in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night, so that the supercapacitor is always fully charged, and the car must be fine.

If one day I go out for a long trip, I fully charge it, fill up the gas, wait for the super capacitor to die, and then start the turbine for emergency, and it is indeed feasible.

The problem is that the existing two head-of-state Hongqis are bulletproof heavy-duty luxury cars.

Will people who buy a car charge it every day?Will you care about the fuel?Will you care about the displacement exceeding the standard?

Therefore, no matter how good the idea is, the original design cannot be changed.

However, Foreman secretly changed the concept and turned the deer into a horse, but he was able to obtain European and American certification.

In particular, the proportion of supercapacitors in the vehicle far exceeds that of miniaturized gas turbines.

At that time, it is said that the super capacitor is the main body, and the head of state Hongqi is registered as a hybrid or pure electric. Due to preconceived ideas, the certification agency is absolutely convinced.

Maybe they will also issue certificates such as "environmental protection and energy saving" and "green travel" to themselves.

Politicians, terrible!

It's a pity that the energy that supports the terrorist robot to drag the 20 kg large Boom~ and run 1000 meters is a disposable highly concentrated battery, which cannot be recharged repeatedly.

And this battery is also a Boom~

Retrograde analysis almost sacrificed ten mechanical engineers and destroyed a mechanical laboratory.

Otherwise it can be used to create pure electric vehicles.

Xu Fei hung up the phone, contacted James, Takeuchi Rano, and the Navy SEAL liaison again, conveyed Foreman's remarks, and sent the design plans, structural principles, etc. of the two cars to everyone one by one, so that the other party Find a way to contact the accreditation agency and state that all the expenses of coming to China will be reimbursed at a high price.

Of course, only these two models are exported for gas turbine models, the purpose is to create ultra-high-end products and create a new brand image.

Price: US$150 million to US$550 million.

It doesn't matter how much you can sell.

The important thing is to attract attention and make an impression on people.

Then take advantage of the trend to launch cheap versions of diesel pickups, off-road, business, and SUVs.

However, diesel engines are not gas turbines.

The structure of the gas turbine is simple, but the components are precise and need to be made of high-temperature-resistant materials. Its technical content depends heavily on the "industrial foundation". change.

The diesel engine has a complex structure and relies heavily on the compression ratio, which is like tamping. The distance between the heavy hammer and the ground determines the degree of tamping.

But the greater the compression ratio, the greater the noise.

The smaller the compression ratio, it may not be able to start...

Therefore, reducing the 750-horsepower diesel engine to 200-450 horsepower requires breakthroughs in both technology and materials.

While simplifying the structure, it can not only increase the compression ratio, but also reduce the volume.

While experimenting with new materials, it is necessary not only for heat insulation, but also for sound insulation and noise reduction.

In fact, the 750-horsepower diesel engine is like a 120x60x50 desk, which can be used on a classic locomotive.

But the sound is exciting, the smoke is curling up, and the 8-ton bulletproof car is shaking, and the rich will never buy it.

As a result, the miniaturization project of the Grizzly Light Tank's 750-horsepower diesel engine has not progressed so quickly.

After Xu Fei finished his busy work, he looked at the sky, and it was midnight again.

Walk out of the workshop office, look at the brightly lit dormitory building in the distance, and look at both sides of the door.

There were no bicycles nearby, just two wind-up cars.

There is no need for Malaysian protection in the factory area, only vicious dogs are around, and the engineers are all busy...

Xu Fei looked at the village head's dog.

"Dude, can you shake the handlebars?"

Vicious dog: "..."

"I can't, you control the direction, I shake the handlebar to drive it?"

The vicious dog jumped into the car, pressed its paws on the steering wheel, shook its head and tail excitedly, and took action instead of answering.

Xu Fei let out a long sigh, and sat in the passenger seat helplessly. Just as he was about to shake the handlebars, he suddenly looked down at the dog leash in his hand.

After thinking about it, I went back to the workshop office, found a metal rod, and then dug out the leftover meat buns from lunch, and used a wire rope to make the two into a fishing rod.

Go back to the wind-up car, kick the vicious dog out of the car, tie the leash to the front of the car, hold the steering wheel with your left hand, pick up the meat bun with the back hand, and turn your head to look at the vicious dog.

The latter has no expression on his face: "..."

Xu Fei moved the fishing rod, put the meat bun in front of the dog's nose, and then led the vicious dog sniffing its nose forward slowly.

"Hey?! Let's go!!!"

And, the clockwork car runs faster and faster!

In less than 3 minutes, I returned to the dormitory.

…………

the other side.

The M8 deal is already underway.

Nine hundred chariots were sent to Jiaozhou Peninsula one after another.

Huaxia Weapons has the M8 blueprints provided by the military trainees. It has long known which Grizzlies are original and which Daze Power is self-produced. In addition, the Weibei Test Site is a heavy weapon research and development base. The M8 arrived and disassembled in a short time.

Then send it to the Dongyue Automobile Base invested by Shanghai General Motors in Yancheng.

Under the guidance of the armed old man, General Motors already knew Raymond's intentions, and now he didn't care about dismantling it again, and was running around to make connections, trying to save the defeat.

And the United Defense...

Lei Meng didn't want outsiders to know that he couldn't make M8. Through his own strength, he let the inter-dish satellite that visited the Jiaozhou Peninsula every day eliminate the records in this area.

But the monitoring continued to strengthen, and the scope was expanded to the area of ​​those two strange things.

He wanted to find evidence that General Motors had betrayed North America.

All of this is going on like a raging fire.

But the most important thing is not Huaxia Weapons, General Motors, Raymond, or Xu Fei.

It's General Electric.

At the beginning, because Nash purchased low-quality steel from Wajima, he was almost exposed by Nash. After killing the other party, General Electric has always been extremely vigilant against Raymond, for fear of retaliation.

Because after Nash died, Carlyle did not ask for benefits.

This is abnormal.

And after the incident happened, Lei Meng went to Modu as soon as possible.

To this end, General Electric arranged for intelligence personnel to follow up.

However, as the Wajima office caught fire, all six intelligence personnel were destroyed inside.

It is estimated that Raymond discovered that the other party ordered the soldiers from the North American office in Shanghai to do this secretly.

It's a pity that General Electric is responsible for the research and development of fighter jets, aircraft, and cutting-edge armaments. Unlike Carlyle Investment, which is responsible for light armaments, it doesn't have much contact with low-level soldiers and management.

Otherwise, you can ask the soldiers in the North American office in Shanghai...

Later, I received the news that Carlyle and TEP jointly invested 18 billion US dollars to raise dogs.

Things just got weirder.

Although Raymond leads seven or eight dogs every day, sells everywhere, and even went to the white house, but 18 billion US dollars to raise dogs...

No matter how you look at it, this is outrageous.

However, with General Electric's connections, they couldn't find anything. All they knew was that Raymond had erased all traces by taking a step ahead.

Even satellite records have been rewritten hundreds of times.

This makes GE seem to have discovered the big secret.

Behind Raymond is Old Bu, and Xiao Bu has been appointed as the next North American director by default.

Now there is only one reason to go to war.

Lei Meng, however, had frequent contacts with Huaxia, and even went to the White House in the name of selling dogs...

In the past two weeks, General Electric has invested tens of millions of dollars, bought intelligence personnel everywhere, and collected intelligence everywhere.

until today.

TEP submitted an application for new vehicle certification to North American Transit.

Without asking, the bribed intelligence personnel sent the documents to General Electric before Raymond made any move.

The two executive-grade cars produced by China Hongqi look good, especially the first sleek classic car, which makes all the elders on the board of directors very excited.

But the structure of this car is too weird.

The gas turbine generates electricity, the battery stores electricity, and then drives the motor, and then there is a transmission?

General Electric had built a car before, and the whole room fell silent at the sight of this construction.

However, after taking out the application documents for pure electric vehicles, everyone was amazed after knowing it.

The gas turbine is not advanced, it should be a reduced version of the special 80U. In order to avoid the patent, the design was deliberately changed, but the overall research value is not worth it. Moreover, according to the application documents, the car companies only regard it as an emergency device.

There is nothing special about high-power brushed DC motors. They can even produce brushless DC motors with the same power.

The gearbox is a bit interesting, but it is also of little research value, and many researchers have found that it should be based on the transformation of the M8 gearbox, deliberately avoiding patents.

What surprised everyone was the 'battery'.

Or, energy conversion devices known as supercapacitors.

Using capacitors as batteries is not new for a long time, and it is also the main research subject of current energy storage.

Some people even speculate that in the future, capacitor batteries are very likely to replace the lithium-ion batteries that came out ten years ago and are currently becoming popular.

The main reason is that it has many advantages, fast charging, fast discharging...

The only disadvantages are large size and self-discharge.

But even so, General Electric put it on the aircraft for the development of electromagnetic catapults.

Because in terms of output power, there is nothing more suitable than it in the world.

The problem is, compared with China Hongqi supercapacitor, under the premise of the same volume, General Electric, which is known as the world's strongest electric company, can design a maximum of 20kwh.

Huaxia Hongqi's super capacitor can achieve a capacity of 260kwh!

General Electric's board of directors, as well as core researchers, are all dubious.

However, China is not without high-tech products.

For example, the nonlinear optical crystal-KBBF, which is indispensable for the manufacture of laser weapons, is only owned by China, and only China can make it.

It's just that Huaxia doesn't know the real function of this thing. Compared with the value of laser weapons, it is almost equal to the price of selling cabbage.

So, does Huaxia know that this super capacitor can be used to drive electromagnetic ejection devices?

(Xu Fei and the engineers all know the importance of supercapacitors, but supercapacitors belong to power plant modules, and once they are disassembled and analyzed, they will be 'damaged'. At that time, they can only be repaired by 'base engineers', and assembled together to drive electromagnetic ejection Because it is not a whole, the current and voltage of each supercapacitor are different. If you want the fighter plane to eject and start smoothly, you need more complicated rectification and voltage stabilization equipment, similar to adding a set of supercapacitors... so you will fall into a vicious circle, so , use it to build a car without worrying about external reverse analysis.

But Xu Fei and Engineering would never have imagined that someone would actually use a supercapacitor on an aircraft. )
General Electric's board of directors, after urgent discussions, decided to hire researchers from the DOT certification agency, and then fly to China to have a look in person in the name of reviewing imported cars.

Once it is confirmed to be true, two vehicles are purchased on the spot and airlifted back for research.

Compared with the billions of dollars spent on research and development of electromagnetic ejection, the starting price of 150 million dollars is simply not too cheap.

"Why don't we look for manufacturers and only purchase supercapacitors?"

"What if Huaxia finds out?"

.........

Europe.

Forman has become famous in Germany, and TEP is also considered a big company. It submitted an application for importing vehicles and opened the way with money, but did not encounter resistance.

However, if you want to obtain EEC certification, or COC, WVTA certification, the certification agency needs to arrange personnel to go to the car company for on-site testing.

And the people who participated in the test this time were all from Fa country.

.........

The next day.

The fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival.

Xu Fei was busy until late last night, and when he woke up, he found that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Take the hungry vicious dog and go to the cafeteria to eat some leftovers, and chat with the chefs about where to collect the dog.

The money that Raymond gave is about to be spent, so we have to do something.

In the end, the catering company decided to help purchase [-] Chinese Garden Dogs when purchasing vegetables and fruits.

However, in order to avoid spawning a group of criminals who steal dogs, this is only done in secret.

Xu Fei ate and drank enough, picked up two delicious meat buns, found the 'dog fishing rod' he made last night, then found a wind-up car, fastened the dog leash, and in a short while, he arrived at No. 2 office building.

In the hall, three men and three women, six reception staff, and five full-time female clerks recruited years ago have arrived ahead of schedule.

The male waitress was wearing a black woolen coat, and the female waitress was wearing a red girl's coat. They stood at the door energetically. It is said that they are all proficient in three languages.

The clerks wore TEP uniforms and sat in a row at the front desk, or they were in charge of making phone reservations, or recording documents, or being in charge of administrative management of the office building, or in charge of contacting secretaries who were not at work, and they were all busy.

"Hello, factory manager!"

"it is good!"

Xu Fei handed the dog leash to the nearest male waiter, "Help me watch it, don't let it go to the wind-up car at the door, or you will send me back to the workshop office later."

"Okay, director!"

Office Building 2 has six floors.

The first floor is eight meters high and magnificent, and the skylight on the roof can be seen in the central area.

The second floor is five meters high and is set up as a meeting room, including two 500-square-meter buildings, three 300-square-meter buildings, and twenty 50-120-square-meter buildings.

Computer multimedia, audio-visual equipment must be equipped.

The third floor to the sixth floor belong to the normal floor height, and each floor has a department.

They are: mechatronics, electrical automation, automotive engineering and services.

In addition, there are No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 office buildings, which are the auxiliary buildings of No. 2 office building, without receptionists and clerks.

The tin toy factory is located in the No. 5 office building.

The TEP power plant is in Office Building 6.

The TEP military dog ​​training base has not yet started construction.

Like TEP (Dongshan) Design Service Company, TEP (Dongshan) Law Firm, and Accounting Firm, they are all set up on the opposite side, and each company has a commercial building, which has not yet started construction.

As for Daze Power, the door is exactly like the No. 1 office building of the court, which is responsible for external business and liaison with TEP overseas companies.

Xu Fei strolled from the third floor to the sixth floor.

On both sides of the corridor along the way, many flat metal light boxes are hung, and small motors drive posters inside, presenting a series of industrial designs.

There are speed change gear sets, reduction gear sets, transmission gear sets...

There are hub designs, drive shaft designs, joystick designs...

There are working principles of radio stations, magnetic field effect diagrams, and concept diagrams of current workmanship...

The light in the corridor is warmer, the light in the light box is colder, and there are independent spotlights dotted in it.

All of this, with electroplated metal walls, industrial style tiles, suspended ceilings, audio, as well as spacious office halls, glass-partitioned laboratories...

Even if Xu Fei exposed the inside story of the fake foreign company to CNN, the enemy of the Tower Company, it is estimated that the latter would just take it as a joke, thinking that TEP wanted to use news as a form of free advertising.

Step into the Automotive Engineering and Service Center.

Senior technicians from the Daewoo General Factory started the research and development of the diesel engine version of Hongqi after finishing the two Hongqi models.

In order to avoid lowering the grade of Dahongqi, the logo and model of the car were redesigned.

Just like General Motors has Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac and other brands, FAW has Jiefang, Audi and other brands.

Hongqi will also produce many brands and series in the future, rather than simply a car name.

therefore.

The existing two gas turbine prototypes will be called Dahongqi in the future.

The diesel engine Hongqi currently under development will be called: Xiaohongqi-Chaser in the future.

In order to ensure the market, the first batch of diesel-engined Hongqi is mainly high-horsepower pickups and off-road vehicles, priced at 5 to 20 dollars, and sold to wild people.

Let's count export-oriented mid-to-high-end cars.

It is also the first batch of cars in the true sense of Hongqi.

It just needs to wait for the successful development of small diesel engines.

However, even if the small diesel engine is finalized, related optimization projects still need to continue.

The voice is louder this year, the voice is quieter next year, and the power is stronger the year after...

One car is launched every year, which is called a car company.

If the start is very good, how can you update it in the future to stimulate customers to buy new cars?
Xu Fei got the renderings, looked through them, and suddenly found that he liked the diesel engine board Xiaohongqi better.

A military jeep, with sharp edges and corners.

One is slightly rounded and full of science fiction.

At this time.

The front desk clerk, who was in charge of dealing with the three little secretaries, called.

"Factory manager, the person who certified the new car is here."

"So soon?"

"Yes, and one for Europe and one for North America."

"I see."

Xu Fei thought about it, and finally resisted the urge to call Lan Feng.

He was afraid that he would not be able to pass the certification, so the leader rejoiced in vain.

It's better to wait until the exit, and then announce the good news.
