883 The Importance of Materials Science

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "Everyone is very friendly to me, no one embarrasses me, Mr. Packard, you still take me to inspect the vehicle." ”

Packard nodded immediately and walked towards Linda's private car with Niu Xiaoqiang. Karina naturally followed.

Looking at their departing backs, Holm waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go and do the final inspection of the vehicle too." ”

When the two biggest people left tonight, Rocky whispered, "Sister, what is the relationship between Kailina and Niu Xiaoqiang, why do they come together?"

Lausanne was also curious about the question, and she leaned over and looked at Linda with a curious expression, waiting for Linda to answer.

Linda shrugged helplessly: "This issue involves their personal privacy, and you know Karina's temper, so I think it's better not to say it." ”

Rocky nodded slightly, worried, "Are you sure you're going to represent Packard Motors later?"

Tonight's race is not a child's game, and the people who come to participate are a little famous guys in the Massachusetts modified car circle, although Linda's driving skills are also very good, but no matter how good the skills are, they can't guarantee that there will be no accidents.

Due to the extremely strong performance of the modified car, the speed of the car during the race is very fast, and if you are not careful, the car will be destroyed and killed.

Rocky didn't want Linda to participate in the competition, but he respected Linda's personal opinion very much, and it was difficult to forcibly dissuade her, so he could only persuade her gently.

In order to dispel Linda's idea of participating in the race, Rocky glanced at Lausanne when he said this: "Lausanne became disabled because of participating in the modified car race, you have your own family, and the children are so old, if something happens to you, how can I explain it to your family?"

Linda showed a confident look: "Don't worry, Packard has added protective measures to my car, and with that magical metal material as a backing, even if there is an accident, I will be fine." ”

Rocky knew that Linda had an extraordinary love for racing, so he couldn't persuade him again, so he changed his mind and said, "Is that kind of metal material so magical? If that's the case, why doesn't Packard just work with those car giants and have to work his own?"

Rocky's hobby is motorcycles, which are much less safe than cars, and if an accident occurs, the rider will either die or be injured.

Unlike a car, the body can act as a cushion and protect the driver's safety to a certain extent. At most, motorcyclists wear protective clothing and helmets, and are left to their fate.

Although Rocky's hobby is motorcycles, this does not prevent him from learning about the technical aspects of cars. Since his dad was a race car driver, Rocky knew much more about automotive technology than the average person.

He is well aware of the superiority of this miraculous material, and if what Linda said is true, then Packard Motors can use this material to expand its market share, and there is a good chance that it will be able to get out of the current predicament, and maybe it will be able to regain its former glory.

What makes Lodge wonder is that if Packard has such a powerful metal material, why doesn't he cooperate with those well-known car companies and have to bother to run it himself?

It's safe to say that as long as Packard nods, he can easily reap a fortune with this magical metal material, isn't it much better than what he is struggling with now?

What Rocky didn't know was that the boss of Packard Motors had been replaced, and Niu Xiaoqiang was the company's largest shareholder and had an absolute controlling stake in the company.

Niu Xiaoqiang's ambition is not to become a billionaire, as long as he wants, he can immediately become a billionaire by selling the patented technology in his hand, which is not difficult for him at all.

Niu Xiaoqiang's real ambition is to become a giant in the automotive industry, and all the industries he currently invests in serve this goal.

There is no doubt about the superiority of super carbon steel, this is Niu Xiaoqiang's killer feature, as long as he earns enough money, he can rely on super carbon steel to show his strength in the automotive industry.

Other car companies are all his competitors, Niu Xiaoqiang is not a fool, how could he take out his killer feature and share it with those competitors?

From the current point of view, Niu Xiaoqiang and other car companies must not be able to compare technology. People have a lot of money, and they can easily invest hundreds of millions of dollars in technology research and development. Even if people don't invest money in research and development, just by relying on the various technologies they have mastered, Niu Xiaoqiang can catch up for many years.

Since he can't compare with others technically, he can only give full play to his strengths and make up for the technical shortcomings through super carbon steel.

Materials science has always been a very critical part of the manufacturing industry, especially in the top industrial fields, such as the automotive industry, without the support of superior materials, even if you can design a good car, you will not be able to truly achieve the ideal performance of the car.

Another example is the aero engine, which is the crown of all manufacturing industries and the most advanced symbol of industrialization. In fact, many countries have the ability to design excellent aero engines, but due to material constraints, they are unable to turn the design into a real product.

Why are Americans so powerful in technology? In addition to their very strong design capabilities, more importantly, they are far superior to other countries in materials science.

When you accumulate a certain level of theoretical knowledge, you will encounter the ceiling of materials science. That's when you realize the importance of materials science.

Linda is one of the few people who knows the origin of this magical metal material, she knows that this material is provided by Niu Xiaoqiang, before Niu Xiaoqiang joined the Packard Automobile Company, she can't believe that there is such a metal material with such superior performance in this world.

And Linda has long been aware of Niu Xiaoqiang's lofty ambitions. She knows that Niu Xiaoqiang is not a person who is rich and secure, and his goals are ambitious.

Linda is a person who pays attention to credibility, and since she promised Niu Xiaoqiang to keep relevant secrets, she will naturally not break her word.

Facing Rocky's curiosity, Linda smiled slightly: "This material is indeed as magical as I said, as for why Packard didn't choose to cooperate with other car giants, it may be because he wants to recreate the glory of Packard Automobile Company through his own efforts." ”
