Chapter 665 I Need an Assistant (Part 2)

After the senior sister fell asleep, Guo Tailai called the senior sister's immediate boss, General Chu, to ask for leave for the senior sister.

Zhao Yanyan had never asked for leave since he arrived at the assembly, and General Chu immediately granted leave without saying a word. Guo Tailai was not satisfied enough, and immediately used the reason that he wanted to develop a high-precision sniper rifle, and asked the final assembly to send a senior sister to him as an assistant in order to determine the design parameters.

This is a business matter, and General Chu agreed in principle, but he had to ask his superiors for instructions. Moreover, even if his superiors agreed, Zhao Yanyan would definitely have to go back and go through the formalities.

"Then I'll go over tomorrow and try the delicacies of the general assembly." Of course Guo Tailai didn't care, anyway, he will definitely get tired of being with his senior sister for a while when he comes back this time. Since the senior sister can't and won't ask for leave easily, then use official business to do it.

"Okay!" General Chu welcomed with a smile: "I've been looking forward to your coming, tomorrow morning I will say hello to the canteen master, and I will cook a small stove for you alone, and cook your favorite meal."

Zhao Yanyan is a special soldier, and almost all the muscles and tendons of his body have been strengthened by Guo Tailai, so his body's recovery ability is very fast. Just woke up after three hours of sleep. She was also exhausted after sleeping this time, and felt relaxed.

Hearing that Guo Tailai had taken the initiative to ask for leave for her, Zhao Yanyan couldn't laugh or cry. But now that it has become a fact, Zhao Yanyan also recognized it, staying in the house, leaning against Guo Tailai's arms, enjoying a rare half-day vacation.

Embracing each other, the two talked about some things that had nothing to do with the army or work. Guo Tailai showed Zhao Yanyan the football and uniforms signed by the AC Milan team like a treasure, and talked about Ronaldo ears, which he wanted to entertain himself every time. The beautiful guy, chatting and chatting, inadvertently went back to work.

"Why did you cooperate with Lamborghini on that supercar?" Zhao Yanyan asked a little strangely: "Why not cooperate with a domestic manufacturer?"

"The research and development budget is 350 million to 400 million U.S. dollars, which is the number I gave after considering that the technology owned by Lamborghini and Ferrari can be directly used for free." Guo Tailai explained easily: "But if you take If we come back to China for research and development, I am afraid that the budget will have to be doubled just for the right to use certain technologies. Which domestic manufacturer is willing to spend 7.8 billion US dollars to develop a supercar?"

7.8 billion US dollars, 5.8 billion to 6.6 billion yuan, just to develop a supercar, Zhao Yanyan thought about it, and there is indeed no domestic manufacturer that has such boldness.

"In addition, we need to consider the issue of sales. Again, domestic brands do not have enough international brand recognition." Guo Tailai continued with a wry smile: "When this car comes out, I am afraid that the price will be two million or even three million US dollars. As mentioned above, with the domestic consumption capacity, it is impossible to have much sales. In addition, the manufacturing quality must also be considered. How many domestic manufacturers do you think can make this kind of car?"

Dahongqi Prosperity sells well, which is based on the fact that Dahongqi is a luxury business car after all. A group of people who got rich first in China are willing to use cars to set off their company image, but use supercars? Only young people will have that kind of fun, and people who are a little more formal and older will probably stay away from it.

Domestic people can't support sales, foreign customers don't recognize the brand, and the billions of RMB spent on car research and development may be in vain. Which company dares to take such a risk?

In the final analysis, the domestic automobile industry has not yet developed, and its technical strength and quality have not been recognized by foreign high-end consumers. The good news is that the handmade high-end customized Dahongqi Shengshi is changing this situation little by little, but it will take time, the overall upgrade of the domestic processing and manufacturing industry, and the high attention of the Chinese people to the concept of quality management. Just improve the technology. Only technology without a responsible attitude of excellence is impossible to succeed.

Although Zhao Yanyan mainly contacts military enterprises and research institutes, he still has a deep understanding of the overall domestic industrial technology level. The automobile industry also has a deep understanding of the demand for military vehicles. She knew what Guo Tai said was the truth, so she didn't ask any more questions.

As for why Guo Tailai is not willing to make a car for the general public, Zhao Yanyan does not need to ask Guo Tailai to know that what Guo Tailai pursues is extreme performance, and what ordinary consumers need is definitely not what he is interested in.

Speaking of supercars, the engine is naturally inseparable. Hearing that Guo Tailai may reach a technology transfer contract worth up to 400 million U.S. dollars with Volkswagen, even Zhao Yanyan knew that some of Guo Tailai's technologies are very profitable, but he was still surprised by this figure. . This is even higher than the amount of cooperation with Airbus last time. With this technology alone, Zhengyifang Technology will make a lot of money again. Relatively speaking, the series of technical authorizations previously granted to FAW, including engines, can be divided into each item, regardless of the total value of 5 billion yuan, which is simply a free gift.

It seems that in terms of supporting domestic development, his beloved fat man has never lost the chain. Thinking of this, Zhao Yanyan was extremely proud.

Now that the supercar engine was mentioned, the topic naturally turned to the tank engine that was being tested over there today. Zhao Yanyan's trust in Guo Tailai was almost unconditional, and he never questioned Guo Tailai's thoughts at all. What she talked with Guo Tailai was just which engine to use and how to change the outfit.

Tanks and armored vehicles are a systematic project, and the overall design will be done from the very beginning. The general order of tank development is that engine power affects armor thickness, armor thickness affects tonnage, and tonnage affects passability; passability in turn checks and balances tonnage, and tonnage checks and balances armor. Armor then determines engine power. The weight of contemporary main battle tanks has basically reached the upper limit, and the significance of further increasing the engine power is not prominent, but it will bring problems such as the internal space of the tank and fuel consumption.

After all, the tank's walking system is not only the engine, but also the gearbox. If the engine power is greatly increased, it means that the entire system needs to be further improved, which will only bring about a further increase in cost. Precisely, the cost and reliability of weapons and equipment have always been very important indicators. Unilaterally improving a certain performance may not bring about an effective improvement in the overall effectiveness of the weapon system, let alone the rationality of the cost-effectiveness ratio.

Therefore, in this regard, Guo Tailai and Zhao Yanyan have very consistent opinions. They both prefer the military engine with 1600 horsepower. No matter how big it is, it doesn't make sense. And there is a practical problem. The fuel consumption of ten cylinders is definitely much lower than that of sixteen cylinders.

"By the way, I will go to the final assembly with you tomorrow." The two chatted about the same, and Guo Tailai told his senior sister his plan: "I want to ask the general assembly to appoint a research and development assistant to work with me for a period of time. General Chu has already reported to the superior. Give me an answer tomorrow."

"You!" Hearing what Guo Tailai said, Zhao Yanyan couldn't help but pat Guo Tailai angrily, this enemy.
