Zhao Yintong served Chen Huaiqing a bowl of soup: "Mota Power is preparing to mass-produce an aluminum alloy engine, did you know?"

Previously, all Mota Power's automobile engines were made of cast iron.

The mass production of aluminum alloy engines this time was also a choice made after a breakthrough in material technology.

Under the same design, aluminum alloy engines are 30% lighter than cast iron engines.

Being so much lighter, the fuel consumption of the car will naturally be reduced a lot.

Why do neon cars have low fuel consumption?

Because the vehicle has low weight!

One more person or one less person in the vehicle will affect fuel consumption.

At this time, international oil prices remain stable.

Except during the Gulf War, there was a sudden rise to above 40 US dollars, and it soon fell below 20 US dollars.

And up to now, it still maintains a relatively stable price.

Naturally, low oil prices are not good news for oil exporting countries.

But for oil importing countries, this is good news.

Low oil prices are also very beneficial to economic development. After all, economic production activities require energy consumption.

For example, the current production costs of Mota Touche Petrochemical are particularly low. In order to better reduce production costs, Mota Touche Petrochemical is also planning to build a crude oil storage warehouse.

When oil prices are low, large amounts are bought and stored.

However, the ex-factory price is subject to market trends...

It was Chen Huaiqing who promoted Mota Touche Petrochemical's construction of an oil storage warehouse. He knew that after 2003, the era of low oil prices would be gone forever.

It is often reported in the news that the price of oil has exceeded 100 US dollars.

Therefore, there are still ten years to build the warehouse and prepare.

Petroleum storage warehouses are not built in one or two years. It takes ten years to build a huge storage warehouse group little by little.

Now Mota Touche Petrochemical also has a certain amount of oil storage capacity, which is relatively small, with a total storage capacity of only 500,000 tons.

It is only enough for Mo Tower to be petrified by light for about ten days, which is obviously not enough.

Chen Huaiqing required that it must meet 90 days of production and consumption demand, which means it must have a storage capacity of 5 million tons of oil.

This is undoubtedly a rather high storage capacity.

In addition, Mota Touche Petrochemical is also building a large petrochemical production base in eastern Guangdong, which will also have extremely high oil storage capacity.

Chen Huaiqing thought about it for a while, and he had an impression of this matter. As for some information, Chen Huaiqing just took a rough look at it. After all, he didn't need to worry about technical matters.

The development of aluminum alloy engines is an inevitable choice.

To save fuel!

Oil prices are low now, but no matter how low the oil price is, it still costs money.

If a car is more fuel-efficient at the same price, it can also save a lot of money.

Is it really a savings?

maybe!

After all, cars equipped with aluminum alloy engines will be slightly more expensive.

The manufacturing cost of aluminum alloy engines is higher than that of cast iron engines.

After all, cast iron engines have been produced for many years, and all technologies are already very mature.

The more mature the technology is, the lower the production cost will be; when reflected in the sales price, it will naturally be much lower.

"Well, in the future, several models equipped with aluminum alloy engines will be launched."

The advantages of aluminum alloy engines are good heat dissipation and strong explosion resistance. The disadvantage is that they are not suitable for long-term high-speed operation.

In other words, if an aluminum alloy engine is used in a family car, ordinary people will basically not rev the engine to 4000-6500 rpm when driving.

Zhao Yintong: "The cost of aluminum alloy is higher than that of cast iron, right?"

Chen Huaiqing said with a smile: "High cost is not a problem, as long as consumers pay for it. After all, even aircraft engines now use aluminum alloy materials."

Yuan Shuna reminded: "Aluminum alloy materials can only be used for the cold end of aircraft engines."

The aeroengine is divided into a cold end and a hot end. The cold end is located before the combustion chamber, and the hot end is after the combustion chamber.

For the cold end, some aluminum alloy materials are used, while for the hot end, some high-temperature alloys are used, such as nickel-based high-temperature alloys, ceramic-based high-temperature alloys, etc.

Blades, fans and some accessories are all made of titanium alloy.

"Moreover, the aluminum alloy used in aerospace engines and the aluminum alloy used in automobile engines are not the same type."

There are too many classifications of metal materials.

If you look at the composition table, you will find that the constituent metals of the two alloy materials are the same, but the characteristics of the two alloys are very different.

The reason lies in the different proportions of metals.

Just like kneading dough, if you knead it more or less, use more force or less force, the final strength will be different.

Chen Huaiqing: "It's not important. Anyway, it's just to let consumers have a concept. Aluminum alloy engines are new technologies and the trend of future development. We don't want to promote anything that is better than cast iron engines. There's no need at all. Let consumers debate on their own.

.”

To a certain extent, technology is not that important whether it is advanced or not. The most important thing is whether it is suitable or not!

The technology is very advanced, but if it is not suitable, problems will arise.

Zhao Yintong said with disdain: "Profiteer, liar!"

"If you call me a profiteer, I will accept it. But if you call me a liar, I will firmly deny it. Look into my eyes, are you particularly sincere?"

If you want to get along well, you can't do it without some means.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with using means, as long as you have a clear conscience.

Aluminum alloy engine technology is indeed a new technology and a direction for the development of automobile engines. It is mainly used in family cars.

And it still has to be used on relatively high-end models, after all, the production cost is relatively expensive.

Zhao Yintong: "I didn't see the sincerity, but I saw someone looking lewd."

Chen Huaiqing shrugged: "I never think that being lustful is a shortcoming. This is human nature."

If a man is not even good at sex, he is either physically sick or mentally sick.

Of course, lustful and obscene are two different things.

It's like thinking and doing!

When it comes to worldly affairs, we don’t care about our hearts.

If we judge good or bad based on our hearts, then everyone is a devil.

The cool moonlight shines through the window and casts a hazy glow on the fair skin.

It's cold outside, but it's hot inside.

When everything was over, the three of them briefly wiped themselves and hugged each other.

They didn't speak quietly, enjoying their tiredness.

After the battle, Zhao Yintong said: "In September this year, I am going to let Kang Ning go to primary school."

Chen Huaiqing: "Wait for another year. Kang Ning is only 5 years old now, so it is a bit early to go to elementary school. Wait until next year and go to elementary school with Yun Qing."

Xinxing Primary School recommends that children start primary school when they are six years old.

Of course, this depends on the parents' wishes.

After all, children belong to their parents, not the school.
