Automotive Black Technology Chapter 287: :Mini cooper press conference

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!

The media paid great attention to Zhengxin Company’s new car launch conference.

At the press conference at Tiancheng Convention and Exhibition Center, the reporters from Automobile East and West Network present were a little proud; they felt that forcing Zhengxin to release the new car earlier than before was entirely due to their own digging and forcing. result.

In fact, that’s not the case at all.

Now that model development has been completely streamlined, and various tests are being carried out closely and methodically, even if Wang Rui didn't leak anything, it's time to expose it.

What do you think road tests and tests are for? Testing is only one aspect. If car companies really don’t want the outside world to see the models under development, they will have many ways to keep it secret. To be honest, adding camouflage to the car body can achieve the camouflage effect?

It's just to whet your appetite.

Li Fanyu usually does not attend such meetings; there are too many questions and too much talking. However, because An Ning is busy with the introduction of equipment in the experimental center these days, he once again appeared in front of the public after the A4 to introduce his new cars to the outside world.

At 7:30 in the evening, after the host warmed up and emphasized the interview rules again, Li Fanyu appeared on the stage wearing black trousers and a white shirt.

The lights in the entire venue were extinguished as he entered and the audience applauded, leaving only the oversized searchlight in the center of the venue, which moved slowly with his footsteps. On the oversized screen behind the stage, the outline of a car was displayed in black and white contrast, with a big question mark underneath the outline.

The light shined on his shirt, illuminating the whole person as if he had just come out of a fairyland. The effect was really coquettish.

But there is a price to pay for being a show-off. At this moment, Li Fanyu could actually see nothing but his feet.

"Shit! What the **** is this light! The lighting engineer has canceled the lunch box for the evening!"

Li Fanyu pretended to wave and covered his eyes. Only then could he see the way forward clearly, and he followed step by step to the stage and stood still.

Taking the microphone handed over by the host, the guy knocked on it maliciously and made a harsh buzzer.

"Ahem, thank you media friends for being here."

The audience burst into applause.

"Today, on behalf of Zhengxin Automobile Co., Ltd., I will introduce to you a model that we are developing or will soon roll off the production line."

After speaking, he raised his arm. Following this action, numerous photos instantly appeared on the electronic screen behind him.

These photos may be of beautiful scenery, various beauties and handsome men, or of the fashion industry, or even many wonderful moments of seemingly ordinary people.

After these pictures, which vary in size but are all eye-catching, fill the entire screen, they shrink very quickly. It wasn't until it shrank to the size of a pixel that it slowly filled in the outline of the car.

The pale outline was immediately rendered by these pixels and became vivid.

Slowly, a car with striped racing livery appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing that everyone was completely attracted by the car on the screen, with expressions of sigh or fascination, Li Fanyu raised the corners of his mouth.

Facing the sporadic flashing lights in the audience, he said loudly: "It is specially designed for fashion people, combining practicality and fashion - the mini cooper!"

"Wow! It's really consistent with the news we unearthed! This month's numbers are about to double!"

In the audience, the beautiful car reporter Wang Shasha shook her colleagues with excitement. The bearded man who was taking photos of the scene was left speechless for a while.

Wang Dazui has been promoted to editor-in-chief due to his repeated cooperation with Zhengxin. Originally, at his level, there was no need to come to a press conference like this in person, but as Li Fanyu's old brother, he had to come to support the launch of a new car.

So he was sitting in the front row, applauding hard.

After the noise in the audience subsided, Li Fanyu focused on introducing the car's design concept and performance.

There is no other way. Holding a press conference before the product is offline is actually just to gain exposure and attract attention. The data is rough, and some even require fine-tuning and modifications after subsequent testing work.

Originally, Li Fanyu knew a lot about the performance of the Mini Cooper even if he did not get the test data of the actual car.

But in fact, apart from the model and overall layout, this time's research and development is completely different from the MINI that was known as "the greatest car of the 20th century" in time and space.

For example, the engine. The original MINI uses a 1.6-liter N13B16A BMW engine, but because MINI is an adopted child, it cannot be compared with the 1 Series of its biological son in terms of tuning. Moreover, the power of this 1.6L turbocharged engine has been criticized by people. Its acceleration time of more than eight seconds to 100 kilometers can only be said to be so-so.

Due to the special body structure, the laboratory’s original idea of ​​installing the ZGX8882.0T version could not be realized, so it had to settle for the next best thing and put the 1.8T into the mini engine compartment.

Although the power increase is not large, if the 1.8T ZGX888 is adjusted and equipped with a body with an estimated curb weight of only 1100KG, the power can definitely be improved by a level.

I can’t guarantee it if it’s too much, but it’s still reliable to accelerate to 100 kilometers in nearly six seconds.

There are many changes like this, but because of the unique structure of the Mini, Li Fanyudao doesn’t think the performance will be too bad after being improved by his lab partners, but as the president of the company, the person in charge has to speak. , so naturally he can't explain these parameters in too much detail.

Otherwise, when the car is mass-produced tomorrow, if the awesomeness boasted today is different from the actual situation, it will be revealed and slapped in the face,

But he couldn't brag about anything else. At least there was one thing he still felt the need to write about in a big way.

That is...the suspension system developed under the leadership of Academician Han Yiming and overcame three major difficulties!

A mechanics expert from Tsinghua University, a materials science expert from Peking University, and a structural science expert from Harbin Institute of Technology were all the hands of Mr. Han in this project!

It was under such a crazy lineup that Zhengxin’s first patent in the true sense was born.

This suspension system uses connecting rods and cast iron parts to combine and rely on each other to ensure the driving stability of the vehicle to the greatest extent and enhance the adhesion between the tires and the ground.

After the trial production of the three-modified suspension assembly was completed, it entered testing. When looking at the suspension system that calmly kept the car body stable on the rubble crater, Han Lao was so childish that he gave this suspension system a unique name - Caterpillar!

After testing, compared with the MacPherson suspension currently commonly used on the market, this suspension is definitely not overly generous.

So regarding the "caterpillar suspension", Li Fanyu took up a large space of the press conference to introduce and amway.

This guy has selfish motives for doing this.

Since the course of automobile history was disrupted, not only many models and brands have changed, but even some technologies have also been distorted.

The MacPherson suspension, which had long passed its patent period in that time and space, is still in its prime now, with a full ten years left until the patent expires!

Today's car companies either use old-fashioned technologies that have expired, such as pillars and forks, or they spend money to introduce technology and endure huge patent royalties.

Now that I have alternative technology at home, of course I have to show it off and show off my muscles, and by the way, I can explain to the outside world how I can export technology, haha!

When he was talking about the technical differences between Caterpillar and MacPherson suspensions, a man sitting in the audience sneered and stood up.

"Mr. Li Fanyu, let me ask you, for a model like Mini that has not yet been produced and has not been tested by the market and competitions, why do you say that its suspension performance will be higher than that of the MacPherson suspension system?"

The man spoke very blunt Chinese and his voice was surprisingly loud.

After seeing this man's face clearly, the reporters present suddenly became excited.

I'm tired! The Chevrolet people are here to cause trouble! ! ! (To be continued.)
