Chapter 96 Can I meet Mr. Zhou?
"Professor, why do we need to build a whole car?"
After Cao Tianwei and others left, Fang Xiang asked the question that had been bothering him all the way.
“That’s a good question.
First of all, it is to enable you to fully understand the process of automobile design and manufacturing."
Professor Xu smiled.
“If you don’t even understand the design of the entire vehicle, how can you design more detailed parts?
If we don’t know and understand the components, then it will be difficult to optimize, adjust and develop the next generation.
How can we carry out our work?"
Professor Xu said this while drinking the tea in his hand.
“Of course, this is just on the surface.
In fact, it's deeper.
Do you know who proposed the 212 project?
Professor Xu put down the teacup and looked at Fang Xiang with a smile.
"How should I know?"
Faced with this question, Fang Xiang was a little confused and shook his head.
"It was personally approved by General Zhang, a member of the Central Committee, a member of the Central Military Commission, deputy director of the National Science and Technology Commission, and deputy director of the National Defense Industry Office."
Professor Xu mentioned the job titles one by one, which shocked Fang Xiang.
"cocoa..."
Fang Xiang still didn't quite understand, what did this have to do with building a whole vehicle?
Could it be that Professor Xu has some connection with the higher-ups? Does he need this achievement?
“As far as I know, the country will select a group of advanced scientific researchers this year.
There is also a group of outstanding young workers.
I think you have a chance.”
Professor Xu’s words made Fang Xiang even more confused.
"Where have I come from? Don't we still have a lot in the northwest?
I compare myself with them? That's too much of a compliment to me, right? "
There are a large number of excellent and outstanding workers in the Northwest.
How could it possibly be my turn?
Fang wanted to speak out the doubts in his heart.
“That’s why I want you to fight for it. You have a great chance this year.
Also, do you know who will present the award?"
Professor Xu once again whetted Fang Xiang's appetite.
"Who?"
Fang Xiang asked subconsciously.
"It's Mr. Zhou."
Professor Xu's words had just fallen.
Fang Xiang’s head exploded instantly.
Mr. Zhou?
Dear Mr. Zhou?
"Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou... I... I..."
Fang Xiang's head immediately turned into a mess.
Could it be that I will have the chance to meet Mr. Zhou in person?
This is a huge reward, much more motivating than any second-class merit, bonus, certificate, etc.!
"Can I?"
Fang Xiang muttered to himself.
“This is what I just thought of when you were talking about the drawings today.
That’s why I later explained the reason for bringing the drawings back.
Boy, if you can do well enough in this project.
The opportunities this year are really great!
This is also the reason why I snatched the 212 project from Lao Hu. "
Professor Xu picked up the teacup again and took a sip.
“In fact, Project 212 has come to an end.
As long as General Luo of the General Staff gives the go-ahead, we can enter the mass production stage at any time.
So, what you need to do is to be better than the current 212.
Let everyone be convinced and speechless.
It is not as simple as just writing and drawing on the existing drawings.
Do you understand how difficult this job is?"
Professor Xu put down his teacup, stood up and patted Fang Xiang on the shoulder.
“If you do 212 well, you will have the opportunity to enter the attention of the top management.
Moreover, after completing 212, there is nothing more for you to learn in Shuimu.
Regardless of whether you can get the award or not, I can help you apply for early graduation and get your diploma.
In the future, won’t the sky be high enough for birds to fly and the sea be wide enough for fish to swim?”
After Professor Xu finished speaking, he sat down again and looked at Fang Xiang.
"But... I still want to develop in the aerospace field."
At this moment, Fang Xiang finally understood Professor Xu's painstaking efforts.
I am also moved by Professor Xu's selfless cultivation of me.
However, Fang Xiang did not forget where his real advantage lies.
“It’s good to have ideas, but the foundation must be laid step by step.
This way, you don’t have to graduate so early.
After 212 is completed, I can help you complete the course.
Later, do you want to get a diploma from the Department of Mechanical Manufacturing or the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics?
It’s up to you.”
Professor Xu thought about it and agreed with Fang Xiang's idea.
For this student with such great talent, Professor Xu not only did his utmost to be kind and responsible, but also showed his utmost love and care.
“But, I have a suggestion for you.
It would be best to get your diploma this year, and no later than next year.
Don’t ask me the reason, it’s not convenient to tell you.
Just remember this, and don't spread it outside."
Finally, Professor Xu gave another reminder.
This immediately reminded Fang Xiang of the wind that had been blowing for ten years.
Yes, how could I have forgotten about this.
"Okay, Professor, I understand.
What should we say to Mr. Hu?"
Although it is not clear why the professor knew it so early.
But Fang Xiang was very clear about how much impact this gust of wind had caused.
Another question is, will snatching this project have any impact on Mr. Hu?
"What do you think I meant by what I said in the car?
If the driver passed the message to him, he would know that I was going to rob.
If the driver hadn't passed on the message, there would have been no need for him to know.
But by the time he finds out, it will be too late."
Professor Xu smiled, with a sly glint in his eyes.
"What if Mr. Hu finds out and doesn't give us the blueprints?"
Fang Xiang was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"He won't give it to me? Do you think he's the only one who has the blueprint?
If he gives it to me, I can give him a chance to sign his name.
If he doesn't give it to me, I won't even have the chance to sign my name, huh."
Professor Xu snorted coldly.
Professor Xu was so domineering that Fang Xiang felt both amused and confused.
Now that we have made everything clear today, let’s get started.
Before leaving, Fang Xiang bowed to Professor Xu.
I also saw the envy and confusion in Qin Jun's eyes.
On the way back to the dormitory, Fang Xiang's head was still buzzing.
Whether it is the opportunity to meet Mr. Zhou or the upcoming wind next year.
All of this made Fang Xiang feel emotional.
After returning to the dormitory, Fang Xiang kept looking at the limited off-road vehicle drawings in his mind.
Keep comparing it with the 212 simple drawings you saw today.
If I were to ask, who is the most worthy of reference and learning.
That must be Land Cruiser and Pajero.
But unfortunately, Fang Xiang had only seen the exterior and interior pictures, and had not seen the design drawings.
However, the number of people who have seen the complete set of off-road vehicle drawings is very limited.
Just Land Rover Range Rover, Land Rover Discovery, Tank 300, Tank 500 and Jeep Wrangler.
The reason why I have seen the pictures of these cars was because I had a colleague at that time.
I paid a higher price and bought a Tank 300, which attracted a lot of attention from colleagues who were interested in off-road vehicles.
People queue up every day to visit, and some even take the initiative to refuel the car owners in order to test drive them.
You know, to fill up a tank of 300 tanks of gas, it will cost at least 6 or 700.
Therefore, it also attracted Fang Xiang's attention.
I specifically asked for the drawings of Tank 300 and Tank 500 from a classmate who worked at Great Wall.
The drawings of the other three vehicles, except the tank, were also sent to him by his classmates.
It was just to tell Fang Xiang how awesome the domestically produced Tank 300 is.
But unfortunately, Fang Xiang had just bought the BYD electric car less than a year ago and had no plans to change it.
In other words, just watch it and forget it.
However, it was precisely because of that accident that Fang Xiang now has a certain understanding of off-road vehicles.
However, according to the current domestic industrial system.
None of these five cars can be replicated.
Even the earliest 2012 3.6L four-door Wrangler won’t work.
However, even though it is not possible to fully replicate it, is it not possible to partially replicate it?
Apart from anything else, just replicating the appearance of a Wrangler would not be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Moreover, the appearance of the Wrangler is very similar to that of the 212.
It is said to be an upgraded and enlarged version of 212, so I think no one would think there is a problem.
But the chassis, engine, gearbox, differential and electrical equipment.
You need to think carefully about how to match them.
But the workload is too huge, so why not draw a picture of the appearance first?
