Homo sapiens

at the same time.

Siam, Chiang Mai.

As the automobile industry base planned by Homo Sapien Company, some of the infrastructure here has been roughly improved by Domino through various vest companies.

After more than three months of integration, Qingye Automobile Company, which entered Chiang Mai Province early in the morning, now has three production lines in operation.

And Baoshi Auto, Yangon Auto, Chiang Mai Group's own Honor Auto, Nanyang Automobile, a joint venture between Siam Group and Homo sapiens Company, and Ubon Ratchathani Group's wholly-owned Tungsten Steel Heavy Industry.

They have successively set up factories here, and these factories are currently improving their infrastructure and preparing supporting factories.

It seems that there are six automobile companies, but in fact they are just six subsidiary brands of Homo sapiens.

Therefore, the positioning of these companies is also different.

For example, gemstone and tungsten steel series, they focus on engineering vehicles, heavy trucks, excavators, cement trucks, agricultural vehicles, etc.

Yangon series and Honor series focus on sedans.

Nanyang series and Qingye series mainly focus on auxiliary vehicles, small trucks, vans, RVs, high-end cars and passenger cars.

Anyway, the six companies will adjust their product positioning to avoid concentrating their products on one small category.

At this time, Qingye Automobile's three production lines are the production lines for small trucks, vans, and minibuses.

Hundreds of engineers poached from Lifan Motors have now adapted to life in Chiang Mai.

Especially Guan Jianzhi, whose family immigrated to Hongsawady, has learned some internal secrets. Although he does not know the core content, at least he still knows a thing or two about the products the company will produce in the future.

Guan Jianzhi is a gearbox designer and currently serves as the head of the gearbox design department.

For a car, the parts can be roughly divided into engine, gearbox, chassis, transmission, electrical, tires, casing, glass, and interior.

Among them, there are basically no big technical thresholds for tires, casings, glass, and interiors.

Especially for Homo sapiens companies.

As for those core components, spare parts or even entire components had to be imported from companies in China, Japan, and Germany, which greatly increased production costs.

Now we are finally moving towards localization.

This localization progress has exceeded the previous estimates of major foreign car companies.

In the transmission R\u0026D team at this time, Guan Jianzhi had already designed several transmissions based on Japanese cars based on the requirements of the previous company.

The reason why we borrow transmissions from Japanese cars is mainly because the Japanese are indeed good at design. Many of the problems with their products actually arise from cutting corners and materials, and are not problems with the design itself.

Materials happen to be the strong point of Homo sapiens. Combining the two makes the transmission design of Japanese cars the most cost-effective.

Guan Jianzhi and others felt a little uneasy because the company's parts supplier had already transported the parts to Chiang Mai today.

After getting the container, they couldn't wait to start assembling it.

In fact, their worries are unnecessary. As long as there are not many problems with their design, the performance of the parts will definitely exceed the standard.

Although the parts supplied by Sea Snail New Materials are reduced versions, their performance is still much better than similar products on the market.

There are 5 transmission models in total, and 20 sets of parts are issued for each model.

Soon Guan Jianzhi and others assembled the first transmission, which was a transmission used on a small truck.

After pouring in the special engine oil for the transmission, install the transmission into the test platform.

Guan Jianzhi wiped the engine oil on his hand with a rag: "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and try it!"

The test officially begins.

The first is to try the usage of various gears.

The engineer in charge of testing tested the gears one by one and found that the problem was not major. At most, it was just that he was not proficient in using it and felt a little unsmooth.

But after he tested it more than a dozen times, he gradually became proficient. With the assistance of the power pump, shifting gears was relatively easy.

Guan Jianzhi was not surprised by this. After all, this was a transmission with a high level of reference. If there was still a big problem, then they would just pack up and go back to their hometown!

The next test is the most critical.

That is service life, high-intensity violent operation, and harsh environment operating conditions.

Whether this transmission is qualified can be judged by whether it can withstand the abuse.

Guan Jianzhi, who didn't have much confidence in parts suppliers, became nervous at this time. He really couldn't understand why the company wanted to find such a three-no parts supplier.

"Lao Guan, are you confident?" the Mediterranean engineer on the side asked with a smile.

"Haha, just leave it to fate!" Guan Jianzhi spread his hands.

What can he do? Cold!

When the limit life test system was started, the gears and bearings of the transmission started running wildly, and the limit life figures on the computer screen of the test platform were also beating constantly.

A young engineer joked: "I bet it won't take more than three years."

"It's too much. Whether this kind of three-no product can be used for a year is a question." Another old engineer looked disdainful.

Guan Jianzhi didn't look too good either. After all, the product failed to pass the test, and he was worried that the company thought there was something wrong with his design.

Just as time passes by.

Their expressions became more and more weird.

Because the ultimate life test has passed 5 years at this time, which is quite good for a transmission.

After all, the transmissions of many car companies sometimes have problems within one or two years.

However, this is not the limit.

The value soon exceeded 10 years.

Finally, it took until 15.3 years to run all the way before serious malfunctions occurred.

"this……"

The engineers who had been slapped in the face also looked at each other in shock.

The Mediterranean engineer swallowed his throat: "Is this an exception? Do you want to try another one?"

Guan Jianzhi, who just woke up from a dream, also felt that one was unreliable, so he nodded: "Then test the other one."

As for the faulty transmission, they removed it and placed it not far away for a comprehensive overhaul.

Test and repair at the same time.

After taking it apart, Guan Jianzhi found that there was no problem with the bearing, but that two of the pinions were worn, causing the tolerance to become larger, and the failure occurred.

If it were not for the ultimate life test, the wear and tear would usually not be so serious within 15 years, because the vehicle cannot be in operation 24 hours a day.

After replacing the two pinions, the tolerances were readjusted and the oil changed.

Guan Jianzhi found that the transmission could still be used.

At this time, the limit life of another transmission also came out, which was also about 15 years.

Now they were all shocked.

“This parts supplier is amazing.”

"Could it be a subsidiary of Bosch or a joint venture?"

"Whatever, if the quality of this part can be guaranteed, then our transmission can be delivered now."

Guan Jianzhi suppressed his inner excitement and continued to assemble the rest of the transmissions. After all, this batch of samples was for testing.

For more than a week, they were in the testing field.

It wasn't until the last sample transmission was destroyed by them that Guan Jianzhi and others stopped testing.

At this time, they have accumulated a lot of test reports. They no longer doubt the quality of the new parts supplier's products, but admire them.

In the eyes of many engineers and designers, products of this quality are a breath of fresh air for car companies that currently advocate planned scrappage.
