Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 762, design completed

However, a series cannot be formed simply by relying on one car. After consideration, Jiang Yan came up with a Land Rover car that was quite classic in later generations. However, she did not completely copy the appearance of the Land Rover, but redesigned it based on the characteristics of the Hongqi car. settings, this is considered a mid-range car.

The car's engine is 200 horsepower. Because its chassis is relatively high, it can be used on very rough roads, and its operation is simple and rough. It is a light off-road vehicle with relatively high horsepower, so Jiang Yan named this car Hongqi. L1.

As for the convertible sports car, Jiang Yan naturally had ideas, but at present, there is no market for sports cars in China. After thinking about it, considering that the last Hongqi car was too high-end, he followed the trend and followed the appearance of the Audi car, combined with the Hongqi car. A brand new car was built, also aimed at the mid-range.

The appearance is relatively calm and elegant, more in line with the golden mean. Jiang Yan named it Hongqi L2 car.

The first thing he did was the overall design of the vehicle. This car will use titanium alloy for its body, mixed with a large amount of high-strength aluminum alloy materials to achieve ultimate lightweighting.

The power is a more advanced 3.5-liter V6 turbocharged engine that I already know, with a maximum horsepower of 280 horsepower, achieving 8 kilometers per hour in 220 seconds, and a top speed of over kilometers per hour.

In order to achieve lightweight, Jiang Yan used titanium alloy to make the entire frame, creating a relatively light but extremely strong overall frame. This will significantly reduce the overall vehicle mass. At the same time, exterior parts such as doors and hoods will also be made of aluminum alloy.

The suspension system uses aluminum alloy control arms and shock absorbers, which are not only lightweight and high-strength, but also enable precise control. The braking system uses titanium alloy four-wheel disc brakes, combined with an anti-lock braking system, and the braking distance is shortened to less than 30 meters.

This was an unprecedented configuration at the time.

So the master began to vividly describe the various parameters of the Dongfeng truck and its strong performance at the test site. This has led to many people now wanting to see this car with their own eyes.

"I have participated in some projects, but I have actually seen the assembled truck. To be honest, I have also seen a lot of domestic and foreign cars. I pat my chest and say, the truck designed by Mr. Jiang, It’s the best truck I’ve ever seen. It looks better than Jiefang,” the worker’s master said mysteriously.

While Jiang Yan was working hard on the design of these three Hongqi series cars, colleagues in the research institute were discussing Jiang Yan's recent achievements in building Dongfeng trucks.

……

Through lightweight design and the use of high-strength materials, the power and weight of this Hongqi flagship far exceed that of foreign cars of the same class.

In the car, Jiang Yan also deliberately added some things such as a radio. The seats were also specially designed to be fully usable by the human body. The car was comfortable to sit in and could automatically adjust its position. In short, everything was in accordance with the high standards of this era.

"That's for sure, what is the load capacity of the Jiefang truck?" The master of the young worker said with a mysterious face: "A friend of mine was in our warehouse, and he was moving things in the warehouse when he was testing the weight. Let me tell you, but I’m much older now, and I know a lot from other workers, so please listen to me.”

"Is that better than the performance of our current main Jiefang truck?" the young man asked.

"I heard that our Mr. Jiang built a super powerful truck? Master, are you still involved?" A young worker asked his master.

"Yes, yes, he is really good. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that we could build such a car!" One of the workers sighed after hearing the old master's story.

"How about he is our chief engineer." The old master said.

"Do you know, I heard from my friends in the secretariat that our manager Jiang is still building new cars!" A middle-aged worker called Lao Wu by the workers said mysteriously. "What! Mr. Jiang designs cars." A young worker exclaimed.

"It's so rare and strange. Do you know that the "Jinggangshan" car that is often running on the road now is the car designed by our Mr. Jiang before. If we design another one, it will not be like holding it in hand." Old Wu said disdainfully.

"Ah! This is also a car designed by our Chief Engineer Jiang." The young worker said.

Old Wu didn't say anything and rolled his eyes at the young worker.

"Also, I heard that the car designed by our Chief Engineer Jiang uses new materials, but I don't know the specific materials." Old Wu said, shaking his head.

"It's not that Chief Engineer Jiang's design of a new car will be of any benefit to our research institute, nor will we produce it." Another worker asked.

"What do you know? The precision of the machines in our research institute workshop is very high. Some of the precision parts of the cars produced cannot be processed and produced in our research institute workshop. There is also a power workshop. Some of the engines of many cars now are produced in our power workshop. Produced inside.”

"The reason why they gave us this business is not due to our Chief Engineer Jiang." Another senior worker said.

Everyone was talking a lot, and they were all excited about the news that Jiang Yan was building a new car. Everyone imagined what kind of new car he would build that would shock the world.

.

After being busy for several days, Jiang Yan finally completed the design drawings for various components of the three types of Hongqi cars. These drawings totaled a total of less than 2,000 sheets. Looking at these drawings, Jiang Yan felt satisfied.

Ask his secretary Xiao Gong to find the minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, distribute his drawings to them, and ask the Ministry of Science and Technology to find people to copy several such drawings.

After the drawings came out, Jiang Yan called the directors of each workshop that needed to be processed into a conference room, and distributed the drawings to different sections according to their workshop's production capacity and performance.

For the titanium-aluminum alloy parts of the car body, he handed over the design drawings to a workshop, which contained some of the equipment that Jiang Yan had previously led them to produce titanium alloys, which could produce thin and strong titanium-aluminum alloy parts.

In terms of engines, Jiang Yan assigned the design drawings to workshops six and seven. Workshops six and seven are engine manufacturing workshops. Their workshops produce "Jinggangshan" car series engines, "Yanjing" jeep series engines, and even borrowed some of them. Armored infantry vehicles also have engines for self-propelled artillery. There are precision machining experts trained by him who can handle complex engine parts.

However, Jiang Yan left the key components such as the crankshaft and camshaft to the five-axis machine tool shop that he had just successfully developed not long ago for precision manufacturing.

Jiang Yan left the manufacturing of mechanical components such as gearboxes and shock-absorbing systems to technicians in the machine shop. After all, the current machinery cannot achieve this level of precision, and some require advanced workers to do it.

As for some exterior decoration and interior processing, he drew the drawings and asked Xiao Gong to give them to Liu Haizhong for production in their workshop. He even found some skilled needleworkers to make them.
