Wang Shufu and others are not optimistic about the self-developed engine, which made Qin Feng stunned.

Although the people of Qin Feng's rebirth knew that even after more than two decades, domestically produced engines would not work. For example, airplanes still have to import Russian engines.

However, Qin Feng has always believed that this is not the reason for not paying enough attention to the introduction of competition. For example, European and American countries have private funds entering this field.

In any field, once there is competition, it promotes progress. Otherwise, if one family is dominant, there will be no catfish effect.

Therefore, Qin Feng believes that as long as he acts as this catfish, even at a loss, it may be able to promote China's engine technology.

After all, it is still early, this year is 1994, and there is still more time for this.

But right now, the attitude of Wang Shufu and others made Qin Feng feel very suspicious.

"Dong Qin, the engine is the most important part of the entire heavy industry." Wang Shufu said, "All traditional power engines currently on the market, whether they are gasoline, diesel, in-line, V-type, horizontally opposed, etc., can be used. Collectively referred to as reciprocating piston engines. This type of engine has appeared more than a hundred years ago. Although the current engine has made many optimizations, the basic structure has not changed. So it is not difficult to build an engine alone. Now mechanical undergraduates should be able to design it."

"So what's the difficulty?" Qin Feng asked puzzledly.

For a person who is not a graduate of science and engineering, I think engine manufacturing should not be so difficult.

"Today's automobile requirements for engines are not simply about converting chemical energy into mechanical energy. Factors such as combustion efficiency, emissions, reliability, etc. need to be considered. And as I said before, reciprocating piston engines have already It has a history of more than a hundred years, and it has developed a very mature technology system. It is a fantasy to overthrow this system and find another way." Wei Jianjun said with a long heart.

"Then what?" Qin Feng was curious.

"The former rotary engine is a good example. Japan’s Mazda was forced to develop rotary engines in order to avoid being merged, and spent a lot of manpower and financial resources. From the 1960s to the 30s of the 1990s, the end result was still on the rx8. After the rest, even in its most glorious period, it is not the mainstream of the world. Therefore, if you want to apply new technology to corners and overtake, it will not work for independent brand engines." Li Chuanfu smiled bitterly.

"Uh, you've been talking for a long time, I'm still very dumbfounded!" Qin Feng's face was dumbfounded.

"Uh, let's put it this way. If you want to do something new on top of this system, it is even more difficult. Any technology has its physical bottleneck, and now human engine technology is very close to this limit. This is the same as climbing Mount Everest. Often the final 100-meter summit is the most arduous task. And this requires a lot of technical accumulation, not to mention whether other people’s technologies have patent protection, even after others’ patents expire. "Bring it" directly is just to avoid detours in the research and development process," said Wang Shufu.

Qin Feng scratched his forehead.

"Dong Qin, this is like someone telling you that you need pork, chili, garlic sprouts, and bean paste for twice-cooked pork, so can you succeed the first time you make it? Maybe a small detail that you can't master can cause you to never make a restaurant. Kind of flavor. So even if the design drawings and raw materials are given, it is very difficult and time-consuming for a manufacturer with weak experience to imitate. This is like the current Chinese cuisine recipes are sold all over the world, but ordinary crooked fruits Ren can't make a table of Chinese food even if he follows the recipe. The Chinese food they make is still unpalatable to us!" Wei Jianjun gave an example.

"However, our country's manned spacecraft has been safely launched many times. Stealth fighters and aircraft carriers have already been in service. Is the technical content of building engines higher than this top-notch project?" Qin Feng curiously retorted.

"This is another matter! First of all, for things like spacecraft and weapons and equipment, their market is single and the market competition is very limited. The input is often excluding the cost. This cost ratio is never considered. , There is no need to consider its economic benefits at all!" Wang Shufu said.

"But the car is different. It is a commodity, and all brands compete in the same market. Then the car is not built, and it is the end of the design that meets the design standards. More importantly, it must be introduced to the market and obtained the market. The recognition of the company is considered a success, which must consider the "cost-effective" thing." Li Chuanfu added.

Qin Feng smacked his tongue.

"I believe that China can build a world-class engine with a power of more than 500kw, and the combined fuel consumption of a self-owned brand compact car does not exceed 10 liters per 100 kilometers. But if the cost of this engine is military level, then It becomes meaningless." Wei Jianjun shrugged, "What's more, even if it is a military-grade engine, we are very backward!"

"Then what is the difficulty for us to develop an independent engine?" Qin Feng patted his forehead, regardless of this, he asked directly.

The three of them thought about it and said in unison.

"For us, the biggest problem is lack of experience ~lightnovelpub.net~ and weak technical reserves. Therefore, it is very difficult for us to build a cost-effective and technically advanced engine, the biggest reason It is the issue of technical reserves and development costs. To put it simply, Mazda's unprofitable rotary engine is a lesson from the past." The three said.

"The difference from Mazda is that it fails and can survive it. We can't bear the cost of such failure!" Wei Jianjun said, "We are just a new private heavy industry enterprise. We have to take responsibility for our own profits and losses, and we have to feed so many people! We cannot afford the price of failure!"

Wang Shufu and Li Chuanfu also nodded, and they very much agreed with Wei Jianjun's words.

In any case, everything else can be developed independently. But for the engine, even though they were thinking about it, they were indeed powerless. No matter how much money is spent, it is difficult to make a revolutionary change. On the contrary, in terms of cost, it is better to buy engines from other factories. That's more economical.

"No! We can't admit our fate for this one!" Qin Feng yelled, waving his hand repeatedly to express his dissatisfaction, "We Chinese, a former civilized country, can we not even build an engine in modern times? I don’t believe it! I definitely don’t believe it! We can now use imported engines, but we must research and develop, and start research and development from now on. Without money, I invest. Without technology, I will buy, grab, steal, and get technology. Go and learn. But I will definitely not accept it and give up now! If this is the case, then we will never have our own autonomous engine!"

Qin Feng will never admit defeat!
