Automotive Black Technology Chapter 1140: : Different research and development! (Please subscribe for the third update, please give me a monthly ticket!)
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
In the R&D center, Li Fanyu’s explanation lasted for more than two hours. After that, the discussion about the integration of platform technology took up another entire afternoon.
Although Zhengxin's current technical reserves cannot be compared with those of established car companies such as Toyota and Mercedes-Benz, in the past two or three years, it has relied on high-intensity and almost non-stop research and development to promote new products, as well as active participation in various automobile events. , can also be called profound.
The technology pool is still very deep.
The main purpose of the CLAR platform is rear-wheel drive + lightweight.
Needless to say, platform research and development. The previous A4 platform and later the PQ platform, and then the F platform that was later applied to military vehicles and F-series pickup trucks, have made the R&D center familiar with platform-based research and development.
The concept of lightweight is very familiar to Zhengxin. Starting from the A8, the flagship model of Audi, the all-aluminum lightweight body has always been the specialty of Zhengxin R&D Center to improve fuel economy and handling performance.
Later, after Zhengxin's technology tree unlocked X Super Alloy, an ultra-light and high-strength material, the lightweight design took another step forward.
So the R&D center can quickly understand Li Fanyu’s thinking.
But the concept of rear-wheel drive is a little unfamiliar to them; among the models that the R&D center has worked on before, they were either front-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive structure based on quattro.
But it seems that the two major R&D departments of Zhengxin complement each other. The Gaoyan Department is quite proficient in rear-wheel drive.
Under X-car, whether it is the relatively low-end longbow or the high-end pure Jun. All of them are rear-wheel drive that is good at handling, or a four-wheel drive structure that relies on rear-wheel drive.
Coupled with the chassis research and development experience accumulated from FE events, the Advanced Research Department has put forward many strategic insights on the CLAR platform.
Seeing a group of young engineers put aside their grudges, but compete with each other, and collide each other's knowledge and experience, Li Fanyu smiled to himself; they are really a group of... simple guys,
The CLAR platform and the 1+ series plan are in full swing.
…………
Another group of guys are also working **** research and development.
It's just that it's a little different from Zhengxin. The research and development here seems to be a bit like a tape measure.
The R&D department of Nanjing Automobile Group.
It was already time to get off work, but the high-rise, rather spacious and atmospheric R&D rooms were still brightly lit.
Several workbenches in the R&D room are covered with various models or physical objects of automobile parts. A group of designers are either measuring with rulers or doing computer mapping of these components.
In the space between the workbenches, several unknown but familiar cars have been dismantled into only their shells. They are displayed there miserably, being treated the same by a group of staff as those parts. Stay busy.
If you don’t know, you won’t think that this is a research and development laboratory dedicated to vehicle research and development.
Just looking at the work content of these staff, it is easy to think of another car-related place-the car scrapping factory.
"Dr. Jay, this is the appearance rendering we made based on several best-selling models currently on the market, integrating the parts that consumers of these models are more satisfied with. Can you take a look at it and see if this appearance is feasible?"
An appearance R&D engineer brought the laptop to Zhou Xiang, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and pointed to the gray background rendering that had not yet been colored.
From the rendering, this should be an A-class car.
This car has a slightly longer wheelbase than the average A-class car, elongating the streamline like a water drop. On top of such a body, there are hawk-eye headlights, a matrix dotted air intake grille, a rounded tail line and a one-piece taillight.
Every part of the car, if taken out alone, would be perfect. But put together, they seem indescribably awkward.
That feeling is like putting Andy Lau's nose, Tony Leung's eyes, Aaron Kwok's mouth, and Takeshi Kaneshiro's eyebrows on Jacky Cheung's face.
They all look handsome, but they look so awkward together.
Such a rendering made Zhou Xiang grin. He knew in his heart that it was not surprising that the rendering effect turned out like this. Because this model is originally a work that "cut out" the designs of 7 best-selling models and then put them all together!
Hongrel.
This was Zhou Xiang's subconscious thought after seeing this car model.
Seeing that Zhou Xiang was silent, the exterior designer Amway said: "Dr. Jay, for the body, we adopted the overall shape of the BMW I3, and then incorporated the headlights of the Audi A4 and the air intake of Guangqi's new GS Grille. There are also TSL side lines and taillight design..."
"Stop it first," Zhou Xiang waved his hand impatiently, "Don't you feel awkward?"
The man was speechless by his question and said: "It's awkward. It must be a bit awkward. After all, you have the first impression. In fact, if you look carefully, this model is still very eye-catching and combines the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought. Well, haha..."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiang was furious and exclaimed, "Fart!"
He pointed at the laptop and said, "You guys don't know how to copy! I gave you three days, and you just let me have fun with everyone?"
Seeing that a group of designers looked unhappy, Zhou Xiang became even more angry: "Look, you basically took these parts intact. If a lawsuit is really filed tomorrow, it needs to be involved. How many property rights disputes have there been?”
A group of designers felt aggrieved, "But Jay Chou, didn't you tell us that we should refer to best-selling models to create high-quality products from Nanjing Automobile? In three days, we didn't have time to do much,"
Zhou Xiang's tone was stagnant, he was choked for a long time, and then he said: "I asked you to refer to the best-selling models, but I didn't ask you to design the car into a painted skin! Get it all! Do you understand? Get it all!"
Looking at a group of designers who were stunned and speechless, Zhou Xiang sighed: "If you copy like this, we can't afford a lawsuit! Let's put it bluntly, this model can be used as a reference. On the basis of this model Go ahead and make some modifications that won’t affect the overall aesthetics. This way, the property rights lawsuit will be easy to fight in the future, and the coordination and aesthetics of the entire vehicle will be guaranteed.”
A group of appearance designers suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand!"
"Look, Mr. Jay, which one should we learn from?"
Zhou Xiang once again looked at the concept drawing of the car that looked like a donkey, but definitely not a mule, and pondered for a moment, "Let's just take the BMW I3. This car is now on the market among all pure electric vehicles. It’s the most common online and has a good reputation..."
