Coquettish Rebirth

According to what the old man said, Jia Hongjian thought about it, if the electronic control, the central computer, the BS anti-lock braking system, the air suspension, the all-wheel drive, etc. are all removed, then this A car seems to be really suitable for China!First of all, if the entire car is made of aluminum alloy, the cost must be a little more expensive than that of all steel—surprise, right?In fact, the aluminum alloy used in cars is really more expensive than steel!Using aluminum alloy is definitely not to save money!If you want to save money, Jia Hongjian can just use fiberglass!

What are the benefits of this aluminum alloy shell and body?In the simplest terms, the casing is beautiful and the overall weight is light, so it saves fuel!Let’s start with the beauty of the outer shell. Anyway, the outside of the car needs to be painted with mud. Whose car doesn’t just come in a metallic primary color without painting. Why do you say that the aluminum alloy car is beautiful?That is mainly because the density of aluminum alloy is low, relatively easier to process, and the precision is better!Because of the density of steel, the precision of steel is not good when processing some details, which makes it not as good-looking as aluminum alloy-for example, it is easy to make this soap into a strange and beautiful shape, and it can even be very Meticulous, but it is not easy to make a steel block into the same thing, and it is not easy to make it so thin!

Just like the aluminum alloy sports cars of the later generations, the appearance is better than the steel shell, and even the aluminum alloy wheels are better than the steel wheels!This is why the later good cars in China used aluminum alloy wheels in history!

On the other hand, although this aluminum alloy is an alloy.Various properties have been added, but in some respects, the mechanical properties are still not as good as steel.Steel is basically bent when it encounters a strong external force, but aluminum alloy may break or even shatter if it encounters too much force!Of course, from a pure point of view, it is definitely better for the occupants to use aluminum alloy in this way, but in reality, when the aluminum alloy is definitely smashed.Even if it is replaced by steel.That person may not survive!Therefore, if the overall safety design is a little better, the safety of the aluminum alloy car body will not be too bad, otherwise Porsche will not say that it uses aluminum alloy for the outer shell of the sports car, right?

If the whole car body is made of aluminum alloy, the weight loss of the car body will be particularly obvious!From this car.For example, the Cruze weighs 13 tons.And this Soviet car.Only 300 kg!This saves so much weight and of course saves fuel!And the unit power, which is the so-called weight ratio-the ratio of force to overall weight is even greater!In this way, the power performance of the car will be stronger! [

If it is said that those technologies that exceed the standard are removed.Just use some technologies that have already matured, or even have been invented or even applied on a large scale for more than ten years. Although it does not surprise the insiders, it is because these are mature or even outdated technologies. That's why the price is cheap, and the cost can be reduced because the aluminum alloy shell is used!If this is the last way, Jia Hongjian will step on his feet and cooperate with the existing technology. If the car is finally sold for around 10 yuan, it should be quite competitive in the market!

That's right, if this car is really made, the price will definitely not be around 3 yuan!Just like Chery, although they made their fortunes by relying on QQ, have they only been doing QQ all their lives?Right?Similarly, Jia Hongjian must expand the product line in order to face the increasing number of foreign cars after entering the WTO.And this expansion of the product line is to produce cars with different prices.

According to the cars of later generations, the 8-12 yuan is the low-end grade, which is considered to be relatively large in sales.A little lower, 8 to 12 to 10 to [-], is considered an entry-level price, and [-] to [-] is a grade that ordinary households often have.Jia Hongjian's car is aimed at the [-] grade.Originally, the cost of aluminum alloy is a little higher, but after using mature technology, the overall cost can be reduced to [-] to [-]?There is still a certain amount of gross profit in that way...

Jia Hongjian thought about it and basically settled on this idea.So, he asked: "Old man, if we want to make this car, should we buy the technical materials from Moscow, or should we do it ourselves?" He was thinking, if we want to buy the research results of Moscow experts , at least there is a shell or something that has already been studied, right?Why is it blown by the wind tunnel?If it can be bought cheaper, then at least Jia Hongjian and the others can spend less time on research and development, and at least they can spend less time blowing the wind tunnel.

"I'll go get in touch and have a look at that time. I don't know if the old Maozi's information is still gone... You know, the Soviet Union has disintegrated over there. Sometimes some things may not be there, and they may go somewhere. ... If it’s really not possible, let’s make it ourselves according to this shape?” The old man said after thinking about it.

After hearing this, Jia Hongjian decided to do this, what else could he do?You can't say that without Zhang Butcher, you can only eat hairy meat, right?If it doesn’t work, just do it yourself!After the discussion here, the old man is ready to use his relationship to contact the Soviet Union.But when he turned around and was about to leave, Jia Hongjian grabbed the old man, "By the way, old man, let's talk about the car that will be inspected by Boss Jiang next year. You said our car , How about using a 50-displacement V8 engine? This car...is made of all steel?"

"Well, for sure, don't use any new technology, let's pick a mature one, let's talk about the shape first..." Mr. Guo nodded and said.As the person in charge of the National Key Automobile Laboratory, to be honest, it is really not easy for the old man to nod and agree to fool the higher-ups!How can the old man say that he paid sincerely for the Hongqi car back then, and he didn't even want his family's wealth for the sake of the motherland's automobile industry. Now, if he is fooled, would he be happy?

But if you are not happy, you are not happy. If you are not happy, it is obviously impossible for this old man to develop his own platform from scratch within 2 years!You know, the whole platform doesn’t just have to be built like building blocks. What if it becomes unstable later?Boss Jiang will be halfway through the inspection, so this car can't be said to have broken down, can it?Can't you say that the car fell apart?

So, faced with a political figure with a particularly tight schedule, the old man could only nod his head in agreement with Jia Hongjian's suggestion - use the classic model of the Rover 75 from the mg Rover Group bought from BMW to modify the shell, Coupled with the large displacement engine of the United States.This Rover 75 car, the complete set of information was basically bought by Huaxia Hi-Tech in 96. In the past two years, the old man really took Ding Haitao and they all figured out this design.

Historically, this Rover 75 model was later introduced by the Chinese, that is, a Chinese improved version of British origin, the Roewe 750, which was introduced by SAIC and later thoroughly understood!This Roewe 750 is really learned from the Rover 75, but it still adds something like a central control computer to this high-end car.The Roewe 750 is generally sold in China, but no matter what, it can be regarded as the beginning of buying foreign stuff in China and then understanding it on its own.

For example, in China's aviation industry, didn't they simply copy the Soviet aircraft at the beginning, didn't they dare to change after they had a thorough understanding of it, and then slowly got their own aircraft?At the beginning, I always wanted to be a student. Later, SAIC did make its own Roewe 550 and Roewe 350. The Roewe 350 was once a bestseller, selling more than 1 units a month.

Jia Hongjian and the others also introduced the Rover 75 model, much earlier than SAIC.The most important thing for Jia Hongjian to introduce this thing is to let his Huaxia Automobile team understand it thoroughly!Otherwise, you can’t be the same as the workshop, just rely on him to pat your head, and then everyone will start to try the design, and finally make it and try it again?This kind of approach is too fake. It was okay at the beginning, but it will definitely not work if it develops in the future!

If you want to formalize it, you still have to learn from others first, and you still have to be taught by a teacher!This is also the reason why Jia Hongjian asked Mr. Guo Konghui to go all the way to Germany to buy so much money for materials!

However, although the platform itself is from Rover 75, that is to say, the frame is from Rover, but Jia Hongjian still wants to make the front face, the shell, etc., so that it can appear individualized, right?As for the car shell, Jia Hongjian now wants to ask the old man what he thinks.In the end, I heard the old man say, "I personally think that the Cadillac's shell looks better, but we can't copy the Cadillac's shell, it's too much, but we can probably learn from it."

What the old man said is right, the shell of a luxury car is not much different, because this kind of car is for old men to sit in, and what is important is to be noble and luxurious, it is impossible to say that it is similar to a sports car. The same head, this car basically means that the air intake should be large, and the whole thing should have a "business" rush!Jia Hongjian and the old man were discussing the design of the shell here. After discussing and discussing, the two decided to roughly change the style of the air intake on the front of the car, and change the previous shield-like air intake. , the overall modification is a bit more similar to the air intake of Cadillac, and the lights next to it have not moved. After doing this, just from the painting, the front of the car is really interesting!

Next, the shell is almost discussed, and the old man will be responsible for leading people to enlarge the car. Although it is based on the Rover 75, it is impossible to really use the Rover [-] without changing it. I still need to zoom in a bit. When I was busy here, a reply came from Russia not long after... (to be continued...)
