Chapter 273 Test prototype arrives

Shao Hongqi patted a huge old-fashioned gantry boring machine and said: "Mr. Qiao, the equipment of our automobile factory is indeed a little behind, but the daily maintenance is done very well, there is no defect in function, and the processing accuracy is even better than that of new equipment. Higher and more stable, wouldn’t it be a pity to give it all up?”

"You have indeed maintained these equipment well and can be used normally. However, the degree of automation and intelligence of these equipment is too low. If they are used to produce new cars, a large number of skilled workers will be needed to operate the equipment, and the production speed will not be increased. , the production capacity is very limited. The automobile production line we ordered for the automobile factory is produced in Germany. It uses a large number of industrial robots and has a very high degree of automation. It can realize integrated stamping of car shells, automatic welding of chassis frames, automatic spraying of paint, and high production efficiency. Very high. An annual production of one million cars, easily."

In the future automobile production process, the degree of automation and intelligence will become higher and higher, and there will be fewer and fewer manual processing steps required by workers. Only in this way can costs be reduced, efficiency increased, production capacity improved, costs reduced, and manufacturing maintained. Vehicle quality stability.

Just when Shao Hongqi was about to say something else, a melodious ringtone rang out from Qiao Ruida's cell phone. He took out his phone and saw that the call was from Ma Chicheng, the leader of the automobile research and development team. It seemed that the test car had arrived.

Qiao Ruida slid her finger and answered the phone. Ma Chicheng's voice came from the receiver, "Mr. Qiao, our trailer transporting the test car has arrived at the entrance of Decheng Automobile Factory and was stopped by the guard here. How about Qiao Ruida?" Why don't you call the guard and let us in?"

Decheng Automobile Factory occupies a huge area and has several factory gates. Ma Chicheng should be talking about Gate No. 3, which is close to the test track. Qiao Ruida has never been there, and there is no phone number for the guard there. He turned his head and asked Shao Hongqi: "Mr. Shao, do you know the phone number of the guard at Gate No. 3?"

Shao Hongqi frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The guard at Gate 3 is Song Qingshan who was injured at work. I don't know what his phone number is. Let's do this. Ask the person opposite to hand over the phone to him. Guard, I just need to tell Qingshan, he can still hear my voice."

Qiao Ruida picked up the phone again and said: "Team Leader Ma, you heard what the old man said, right? Give the phone to the guard and let him answer the call."

"Okay, I heard it. I'm going to find the guard here."

After a period of footsteps and conversation, a strange voice rang out from the receiver, "Hey, who are you? What do you want me to do for you? Let me tell you, no outside vehicles are allowed without a temporary pass issued by the factory office. Once you enter the factory, it’s useless for anyone to intercede.”

Qian Ruida handed the phone to Shao Hongqi and said, "Old man, Song Qingshan over there has got the phone. Please tell him the specific situation."

Shao Hongqi took the call and said directly: "Xiaoshan, this is Shao Hongqi. I heard that you stopped a special car transport truck, right? Let me tell you, our car factory has been acquired by Ruida Technology Company, you know Right. The car parked outside Gate 3 now comes from Reda Technology Company, and what is transported on it is the test car of the new model that our factory will produce. You understand what I said, okay? Open the door immediately and let us go." "Director Shao, okay, I understand, let me go immediately. I said, our factory is originally a car manufacturer, how could someone pull a dozen small cars into our factory? That’s so weird. It turns out it was a test car sent by the new boss, so that makes sense.”

After the communication between the two parties was completed, the special vehicle for transporting the test vehicle was put into the factory area. Qiao Ruida put away her mobile phone and said to Shao Hongqi: "Mr. Shao, we have almost finished visiting the factory now. Let's go to the test track and have a look."

"That's fine, I just want to see what the new car you designed looks like. Our factory has never produced a new energy vehicle, and we don't know what the difference is from a fuel vehicle."

Shao Hongqi readily agreed, then acted as the driver, drove an electric patrol car, left the machine shop, and drove in the direction of the test track.

After the design of a new model is completed and the prototype is trial-produced, it generally goes through three testing processes, namely laboratory testing, proving ground testing, and road testing. The two new energy vehicle drawings provided by Qiao Ruida are originally mature models that will be mass-produced in later generations. There are basically no defects in structure, function, and performance. After the MINIEV prototype was produced, it successfully passed the laboratory test. However, because Reda Technology Company did not have its own large test track, there was no way to conduct further testing. Now Ruida Technology Company has completed the acquisition of Decheng Automobile Factory, and there happens to be a supporting automobile testing ground in the factory area. After receiving the news, a group of car developers led by Ma Chicheng rushed over a dozen prototype cars without stopping.

The supporting test track of Decheng Automobile Factory covers a huge area and has a variety of reliability test roads, such as high-speed runways, simulated mountain roads, general roads, off-road roads, and reinforced bad roads, including washboard roads, stone roads, and cobblestone roads. , twisting roads, pothole roads, fish scale pit roads, gravel roads, concrete roads, asphalt roads, long and short wave roads, steep slope roads, highway enhanced characteristic simulation roads, uneven cement roads, cement bump roads, railway track crossings, beach roads, etc. Wait, it can be said that everything is available. There are also a variety of special test facilities in the test track, such as standard ramps, comprehensive performance test roads, handling stability test squares, exterior noise test squares, anti-lock brake system (ABS) test roads, and passability test roads. , dust hole, rain chamber, and salt water tank, which can complete most of the testing items of new prototype vehicles.

When Qiao Ruida and Shao Hongqi arrived at the test track, Ma Chicheng was directing a dozen of his men to unload the car. The staff who were originally on duty at the test track also came forward to help. It seemed that the two parties had already communicated. Seeing Qiao Ruida arriving, Ma Chicheng trotted over and reported to him: "Mr. Qiao, we have transported the MINIEV test sample car and are unloading it. I have a general understanding of the car testing venues and various facilities here. After taking a look, I found that the facilities are a bit old, but the configuration is very complete, which is enough to complete the subsequent vehicle road tests of MINIEV."

"That's good. Let's start testing immediately. If there are not enough manpower, we can transfer some test drivers and testers from the car park to help you."
