Daguo Technology started from the Shanzhai system

As automobile manufacturing plants become larger, R&D funding will naturally decrease accordingly.

Therefore, although the automobile industry makes money, just a huge initial investment can make people vomit blood.

It can be said that if the cost cannot be recovered within the next year, the already stretched capital chain will become even tighter!

“No, just decide to enter the automobile industry, although the upfront investment is a bit high.

But as long as we launch new products in the next year, we can earn back the initial investment. "

Although Lin Chen felt a little stressed at this point, he was confident that he could complete the task of putting Sugon Motors into production and making a lot of money within a year.

Because behind him are not only several academicians, but also a virtual laboratory that comes with the King of Copycat system!

What are the most difficult aspects of car engines and transmissions?They are nothing more than design problems, production problems, and material problems!
First of all, in terms of production problems, Sugon Technology has a five-axis machining center, and the production problems are solved directly.

Secondly, in terms of design issues, the design issue is mainly to avoid other people's technology patents, but also to design engines and transmissions with performance comparable to or surpassing theirs.

Domestic automobile companies in previous generations were also able to do this. For example, the domestic engines of Chery, Hongqi, Great Wall and other companies were also at the forefront of the world in certain performances.

Of course, domestic engines are still a long way from foreign engines, and fuel efficiency is the fatal flaw of domestic engines.

After all, the fuel consumption of domestic engines is generally high, usually 1 to 2 liters more per [-] kilometers than Japanese cars.

Although some people complain that Japanese cars are fuel-efficient, they lack power and are unable to refuel. When driving on the road, they are simply the third aunt on the road.

However, we have to admit that in the reality of increasingly high oil prices, Japanese cars with lower fuel consumption have fatal advantages. Many people buy Japanese cars just for their fuel-saving advantages.

Although I am obviously willing to spend 10,000, [-] or even [-]+ to buy a car, it is funny that I end up having a headache just because of the few hundred yuan I saved that year.

But people all over the world just like to save money, so what can be done?

Therefore, the sales volume of Japanese cars ranks first in the world. Even if its power is not as good as that of domestic engines, it is better to be fuel-efficient, and fuel-saving is the truth!

As for the second problem in developing domestic engines and transmissions, they are materials.

This material is really a major problem for domestic engines and transmissions, because in the past, the fundamental reason why domestic engines generally had high fuel consumption was the material problem.

Not to mention engines with slightly lower requirements, as far as transmissions are concerned, even in 2023, the domestic transmission industry is still said to be far behind foreign countries.

Among them, domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers speak for themselves with facts. They would rather spend more expensive and higher costs to purchase foreign transmissions than purchase cheaper domestic transmissions.

The most fundamental reason is not that it cannot compare with foreign transmissions in terms of overall performance. The real reason is the quality issue.

The quality of domestically produced transmissions is really poor. Foreign transmissions are just as good as running for more than 20 to 50 kilometers. Among them, Fengtian Automobile's transmission even dares to claim that it can be used for [-] kilometers.Although the data of domestic transmissions on paper is not much worse than that of foreign transmissions, whoever uses them actually knows.

It can be said that it is a common phenomenon for domestic transmissions to be used for tens of thousands of kilometers and then have to go to the auto repair shop, and the reason for all this is still the problem of materials!
But the material problem is actually not a big problem for Lin Chen, because Lin Chen has a virtual laboratory.

It is not a difficult problem to develop qualified high-strength metal materials in a virtual laboratory, and the cost is almost zero.

Moreover, Lin Chen can research metal materials in the virtual laboratory because he can refresh and copy infinitely, which also means that Lin Chen can refresh countless metal smelting furnaces in the virtual laboratory!

The same is true for the detection of metal materials. Countless metal inspection and testing machines can also be developed!

It is worth mentioning that if Lin Chen cannot operate the equipment in the virtual laboratory, it can be automatically controlled by the virtual laboratory hosting.

Under this situation, Lin Chen's R&D strength alone was quite terrifying. The only limitation that limited Lin Chen was how to know the rough metal formula of the metal material.

But these are not problems. Even if you don’t know the rough formula of the metal material, you only need to know the rough elements of the metal.

With nearly infinite and costless repeated smelting, Lin Chen could finally produce a satisfactory high-strength metal material.

With the satisfactory high-strength metal materials, finally the metal material surface nanotechnology invented by Academician Lu Ke and the BUFF blessing of the King of Copycat system increase the quality by 15%.

Putting the advantages of the three together, Sugon Motors may be able to use Fengtian Motors' promotional slogan "One million kilometers without major repairs!" in the future.

Of course, if Lin Chen can develop high-performance metals at the level of Fengtian engines and transmissions in the previous life, with the blessing of high-performance metals combined with metal material surface nanotechnology and the 15% mass increase of the King of Copycat system,

In the future, Sugon Motors may be able to claim that it has "no major repairs for 150 million kilometers!" However, no one knows what will happen in the future, and it is useless to say anything now.

In short, the six major companies under Shuguang Holdings began to pivot rapidly after Lin Chen made the decision, and these actions naturally aroused heated discussions.

Some large-scale media with sensitive noses have directly exposed Sugon Technology's purpose. For example, Huanqiu Daily exposed the news that Sugon Technology intends to enter the automobile industry.

The evidence is a photo of a senior executive sent by Sugon Technology to Rover Automobile Company. Among them, a secretly photographed photo of Sugon Technology's executive and the head of Rover Automobile meeting and shaking hands with a representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers was listed in the Huanqiu Daily news headlines.

And this news naturally caused a huge sensation around the world. After all, if it was just a normal meeting, it would be nothing.

However, since Rover Auto went bankrupt in April and was managed by PwC, representatives of Rover Auto and the trustee PwC have negotiated with domestic automakers such as SAIC, Geely, GAC, and Nanjing, and have reached an agreement. Some collaboration.

These negotiations and some of the cooperation reached have naturally set off a wave of public opinion in the global automotive circle.

Domestic people are naturally extremely excited, while overseas people are naturally strongly opposed to the acquisition of Luofu by Daxia Automobile Company. This triggered a round of big news that affected the domestic and foreign automobile circles.

At this time, Sugon Technology actually wanted to contact the bankrupt Rover Motors, which naturally triggered a big discussion among people. (End of chapter)
