Wang Shufu and others were not optimistic about the independent research and development of the engine, which made Qin Feng smack.

Although Qin Feng was reborn, he also knew that even after more than 20 years, the domestic engine would not work. For example, airplanes still have to import Russian engines.

However, Qin Feng has always believed that this is the reason why not enough attention is paid to and competition is not introduced. For example, in Europe and the United States, private funds have entered 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 seems that as long as he acts as this catfish, even if he loses money, he may be able to promote Huaxia's engine technology to improve.

After all, it's still early, this year is only 1994, and there is still more time.

But right now, the attitude of Wang Shufu and several people made Qin Feng feel very suspenseful.

"Qin Dong, the engine is the most important component of the entire heavy industry. Wang Shufu said, "All the traditional power engines on the market now, whether they are gasoline, diesel, inline, V-shaped, horizontally opposed and other forms, can be collectively referred to as reciprocating piston engines." This form of engine has been around for more than 100 years, and although many optimizations have been made to the current engine, the infrastructure has not changed. Therefore, it is not difficult to build a single engine, and now undergraduate students majoring in mechanical engineering should be able to design it. ”

"What's so difficult?" Qin Feng asked puzzled.

For a person who is not a science graduate, I think that engine building should not be so difficult.

"The requirements of today's automobiles for the engine are by no means simply the conversion of chemical energy into mechanical energy, combustion efficiency, emissions, reliability and other factors need to be considered. And as I said before, the reciprocating piston engine has a history of more than 100 years, and it has developed a very mature technical system. If you want to overthrow this system and find another way, it is a fantasy. Wei Jianjun spoke earnestly.

"And then?" Qin Feng was curious.

"The former rotary engine is a good example, but Japan's Mazda was forced to develop a rotary engine in order to avoid being merged, and spent a lot of manpower and financial resources. The 30 years of hard work from the '60s to the '90s ended up with the RX8, and even in its most glorious period, it was not the mainstream of the world. Therefore, if you want to apply new technology to overtake in corners, it will not work for your own brand engine. Li Chuanfu smiled bitterly.

"Well, you've been talking for a long time, I'm still very confused!" Qin Feng looked confused.

"Well, let's put it this way. If you want to do anything new on this system, it is even more difficult, any technology has its physical bottleneck, and now human engine technology is very close to this limit, which is like climbing Mount Everest, often the last 100 meters to reach the top of the task is the most arduous. And this requires a lot of technology accumulation, not to mention whether other people's technology has patent protection, even if other people's patent expires and directly "take", it is just to avoid detours in the research and development process. Wang Shufu said.

Qin Feng scratched his head.

"Qin Dong, this is like someone telling you that you need pork, chili, garlic sprouts, and bean paste for the back pot meat, so can you succeed the first time you make it? Maybe if you can't grasp a small detail, you will never be able to make the taste of the restaurant. Therefore, 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. It's like the recipes of Chinese cuisine are sold all over the world, but ordinary crooked nuts still can't make a table of Chinese food even if they follow the recipe. We still find the Chinese food they make very unpalatable!" Wei Jianjun said, for example.

"However, our country's manned spacecraft have been safely launched many times, and stealth fighters and aircraft carriers have been put into service, is the technical content of building an engine higher than this top project?" Qin Feng retorted curiously.

First of all, the market for such things as spaceships and weapons and equipment is single, and the market competition is very limited, and their input is often regardless of the cost. This cost ratio is never considered, and there is no need to consider its economic benefits at all!" Wang Shufu said.

"But the car is different, it's a commodity, and all brands are competing in the same market. Then the car is not built, it meets the design standards and is done. More importantly, it must be pushed into the market and recognized by the market to be considered a success, which must consider the "cost performance". Li Chuanfu added.

Qin Feng smacked his tongue.

"I believe that China can build a world-class engine with more than 500K power, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of a compact car of its own brand does not exceed 10 liters per 100 kilometers. But if the cost of this engine is at the 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 head, regardless of this, and asked directly.

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

"The biggest problem for us is the lack of experience and the lack of technical reserves. Therefore, it is very difficult for us to build an engine that is both cost-effective and technologically advanced, and the biggest reason is the problem of technical reserves and development costs. The three said.

"Unlike Mazda, it failed and survived. We can't afford to fail like this!" Wei Jianjun said, "We are just a new private heavy industry enterprise, we have to bear our own profits and losses, and we have to feed so many people! We can't afford to fail!"

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

In any case, everything else can be developed independently. But the engine, even if they want to, they are really powerless. No amount of money is spent, and it is difficult to make a revolutionary change. On the contrary, in terms of cost, it is better to buy engines from other factories. It's more affordable.

Qin Feng shouted, waving his hand again and again to express his dissatisfaction, "We, the Chinese people, the former ancient civilization, can't even build an engine in modern times? I don't believe it! I absolutely don't believe it! We can use imported engines now, but we must develop them, and we will develop them from now on." There is no money, I invest. Without technology, I have to buy, rob, steal, and learn technology. But I will never accept it, and I will admit defeat now! If this happens, then we will never have our own autonomous engine!"

Qin Feng will never admit defeat!
