"How is that possible?" Matsuyama Satoshi was stunned. Is there such a process for titanium alloy?

"I have already demonstrated it in front of you, what's impossible?" Guo Tailai also found it funny. Matsuyama's exclaimed question was too unreasonable.

"But how can you be so accurate?" When the Germans were measuring just now, Matsuyama Kuchi also saw the reading above. The number that was accurate to the fourth decimal point after the decimal point shows that the size of Guo Tailai's processing has indeed achieved an accuracy of less than one micron: "You did not use any measurement tools."

"Experience." Guo Tailai pointed to his eyes and showed his hands: "If you know Mebeya, ask them what's going on with that high-precision gyroscope, I think they will give you an answer."

Of course, Matsuyama knew the person who was Minebeya, and he called back a phone call that was unbelievable on the spot. After talking in Japanese, the look of Guo Tailai was completely different.

A high-precision gyroscope can be said to be a shame for Minebea. So far, their company is still trying to copy the record set by the gyroscope handmade by Guo Tailai, but unfortunately, it is still a lot worse. This is Minebea in 1998, and Minebea twenty years later.

However, the copying method of Mebeia is constantly studying their high-precision machine tools and working hard to improve accuracy. Every time there is a phased result, a gyro will be remade according to Guo Tailai's design for comparison.

Unfortunately, until now, Minebeya's high-precision lathe has not been able to perfectly copy the work handmade by Guo Tailai two years ago. The name Guo Tailai is simply well-known inside Minebeya. When Matsuyama asked, there was an acquaintance there, so he naturally answered the truth.

When Matsuyama Hakuchi looked at Guo Tailai again, he no longer looked at a designer, but became respectful to a master of handcrafting. Sometimes the Japanese advocate the spirit of craftsmanship the most, while Guo Tailai's hand-processing is definitely the ultimate of this spirit.

The method of processing titanium alloy naturally became a joke. But Guo Tailai's move on the spot also made many people understand the true value of Guo Tailai's car. If you look at it according to the purely handmade construction demonstrated by Guo Tailai, it would probably be a bit cheaper if the estimated price of 3 million US dollars.

The debate between Guo Tailai and Mazda about the prototype also came to an end with Matsuyama's apology. The next step was to negotiate and cooperate with McLaren.

McLaren is very upset this year, and its unique slewing braking technology has been banned. Fortunately, the team's chief driver is expected to win the annual championship, but even so, McLaren has to prepare for the next season in the following year.

The engine of Rsche brought more than three percent performance improvement due to Guo Tailai's hand-made and assembled. McLaren immediately discovered this opportunity. If he could cooperate with Guo Tailai and let Guo Tailai make an engine himself, would the overall performance be improved?

While she was negotiating, Mazda suddenly got involved and wanted to argue about the ownership of the prototype. Although the problem was solved in just two or three days, McLaren was surprised to find that Guo Tailai's prototype chassis was made of titanium alloy.

According to McLaren's investigation, Guo Tailai performed the extremely accurate and hand-processed titanium alloy technology in front of the German evaluation agency and Mazda Mazda Kurohito, which amazed Mazda Kurohito on the spot. As soon as he learned this news, the technical director of McLaren team was immediately moved. If, now the parts of the Mercedes-Benz F1 engine cast iron used by McLaren team were made of titanium alloy, what would happen?

The manager in charge of the negotiations of Guo Tailai pulled Hines, the first friend Guo Tailai met in Germany, and made this request to Guo Tailai. Hines looked at Guo Tailai with a gaze, hoping that he could agree."

I have no problem!" Guo Tailai opened his mouth and relieved the manager and Hines, but Guo Tailai's words immediately made the manager difficult: "Are you sure you can afford the processing fee?" Titanium

The processing of alloys, especially the processing of camshaft crankshaft timing gears, not to mention this era, even twenty years later, is also a nightmare. In this era, if you want to make a perfect titanium alloy engine, you can only use money to pile it up at any cost, just like Laomi made the SR-71 Blackbird Reconnaissance aircraft. However, the processed titanium alloy engine is definitely a sky-high price.

The processing costs of ordinary materials such as cast iron and aluminum alloys will not be too high even if they are processed with high precision. But titanium alloys are different. According to the manager's understanding of titanium alloys, it is probably more than two million US dollars or even higher for this replacement of iron-deleted parts. The chassis of the car is straight, but these parts also require drilling and various complex processing, and the processing costs are simply unmatched.

However, when the manager thought about the benefits of replacing all steel parts with titanium alloy, the manager was very excited. Now the engine uses about 30%, which can reduce weight by more than 40%, but the strength can be increased and the lifespan can be increased.

This item alone can reduce the engine weight by more than 10 kilograms. The same structure and design have the same weight, and the weight is less than 90 kilograms. However, the lower limit of the engine weight is not specified yet, which can reduce the weight of the vehicle by more than 10 kilograms. In addition, the improvement of the overall engine performance is probably just because of the extra Guo Tailai, and the performance of the vehicle can be increased to 5%. If the same parameters are adjusted according to the material performance, the volume can be reduced and the weight can be further reduced.

The question is, is this worth it? The manager is not sure now, and this requires professional comprehensive assessment. After changing to titanium alloy, perhaps only one stop or two stop engines were used before, and after changing to titanium alloy parts, it could use three stops or even four stops or even more stations. If you consider it from this perspective, it is still worth it.

The decision cannot be made immediately, but he still agreed with Guo Tailai that they would organize engineers immediately and carefully calculate and calculate to determine whether to use titanium alloy to make engines. However, before again, both parties could determine the contract, even if they did not use titanium alloy, McLaren would need Guo Tailai to help him manually build an engine and conduct comprehensive tests.

It is an opportunity to make Guo Tailai really gain a foothold in the automotive industry. Guo Tailai did not speak loudly, but only demanded a processing fee of 100,000 US dollars. The two parties made an appointment to wait until McLaren prepares the materials and designs, and Guo Tailai will help them."
