Super-divine civilization begins with the civilian use of dark energy technology

Chapter 119 Personally participate in the research and development of electric trucks
Jiang Fan frowned slightly, not because he was impatient, but because Nongxing Company needed electric trucks.

He couldn't stop the price of agricultural products from falling, so he could only start with shipping costs.

The sooner electric trucks come out, the better.

He pondered for a while and said to Qiao Guojin: "I will go to the automobile production line and participate in the research and development of electric trucks."

He had not planned to research cars before, so he had not asked the car research and development department to move here before.

Qiao Guojin was stunned for a moment and agreed: "No problem, I will notify them."

"When are you planning to go there?"

"I'll go over now." Jiang Fan said directly.

Of course he doesn't design trucks. In the past, he only provided various parameters of new graphene batteries.

The car production line Qiao Guojin purchased is in the next province, an 8-hour drive away.

Jiang Fan didn't choose to fly. He made a last-minute decision. He bought a ticket and had to wait for the flight. It took about the same amount of time, and he had to change transportation midway, which was a bit troublesome.

After a night's rest, Jiang Fan took the people to the car factory.

The automobile research and development department is located in the automobile factory. There is a building dedicated to automobile research and development.

The manager in charge of the automobile plant and members of the R&D department had already come out to greet him in advance.

When two middle-aged men saw Jiang Fan, they smiled and stepped forward. One middle-aged man said: "Hello, boss, I am Li Shangdong. Welcome to our car factory, boss."

The manager of Tianmeng Graphite was dismissed, and the incident was reported to the entire group.

Now that Jiang Fan is here, although he is said to be involved in the research and development of electric trucks, manager Li Shangdong does not dare to neglect him.

Under Pangu Xinhuo's banner, he was very relaxed. His salary had increased, and Pangu Xinhuo didn't send anyone to take care of him. He just had to follow the steps.

Another middle-aged man said: "I am Lu Dongwei from the R&D Department."

Jiang Fan shook hands with the two of them and said, "Take me to see the car production process first."

Li Shangdong made an invitation gesture and said, "Boss, please come this way."

Accompanied by a group of people, Jiang Fan visited the automobile production line and learned about the entire process of automobile production.

In the end, he declined Li Shangdong's dinner invitation and returned to the hotel to rest.

After eating Super Green Tea and exercising, Jiang Fan went to bed early.

The next day, Jiang Fan came to the car factory again, and Li Shangdong and Lu Dongwei once again brought a group of people out to greet him.

Jiang Fan did not be polite to the two of them and said directly: "Go to the R&D department."

"Boss, follow me." Li Shangdong directly took over Lu Dongwei's task and took the initiative to show Jiang Fan the way.

The group soon arrived at the R&D department.

Upon entering the R&D department, Jiang Fan signaled to Gong Mingyong.

Gong Mingyong immediately asked all irrelevant people to leave during the meeting. Except for people from the R&D department, only Li Shangdong stayed.

After everyone left, Jiang Fan said directly: "Lu Dongwei, gather the members of your R&D department."

Lu Dongwei nodded and agreed: "Okay."

A few minutes later, dozens of people were sitting in a large conference room.

Jiang Fan sat in the main seat and asked Lu Dongwei directly: "Tell me about the design ideas of the electric truck."

Lu Dongwei was already prepared for this. He stood up and came to the big screen to start the introduction.

"There are currently two main ideas. One is to modify existing trucks and directly replace the oil engine with an electric motor. The rest is just simple fine-tuning."

"One is to design a brand new model..."

Jiang Fan interrupted directly: "Which one is faster?"

Lu Dongwei thought for a while and said: "Theoretically, it is faster to transform existing trucks, but this is not certain. It depends on the new battery." "Simply speaking, it is to replace the internal combustion engine with an electric motor, but there are many things to consider. There will be many problems encountered during the transformation process, and no one knows whether there will be more and more changes. A small problem may trigger a major change, so it is better to design a new one directly."

Jiang Fan frowned and thought deeply.

His original idea was to transform it, but now it seems that it would be better to design a new one.

It is said that it is a new design, but in fact there are many things to refer to.

Tesla, BYD, etc. are all reference objects.

Moreover, his electric trucks need to be mass-produced and used for a long time, not temporarily produced to cope with the situation.

So stability is very important. He doesn't need an electric truck that often has various minor problems.

With the decision made in his mind, he said directly: "Design a new type of truck. The carriage and other parts can remain the same, but the front end must be new."

Lu Dongwei nodded and asked: "The specific parameters of the new battery."

"The new battery will be designed into a small section, and then connected in parallel and in series to form a large battery..."

From then on, Jiang Fan often convened meetings with people from the R&D department to provide battery parameters.

Manager Li Shangdong remained present at every meeting even if he found such meetings boring.

Fortunately, Jiang Fan is different from others. He maintains the habit of working from nine to five and goes to get off work on time every day.

He, the manager, can also leave the R&D department.

Of course, only he, the manager, can leave. People in the R&D department must work overtime and make progress.

Jiang Fan fully explained what it means for a boss to talk too much while a subordinate is too busy to break his legs.

Under Jiang Fan's attention, the R&D staff worked overtime.

Jiang Fan works nine to five, with five days off and two days off. The member of the R&D department is 007.

A month later, the design drawings of the first electric truck were completed.

In fact, the design drawings are simple, but the next prototype is the trouble, as researchers need to constantly debug.

To make matters more troubling, they don't have batteries.

Lu Dongwei asked anxiously: "Boss, when will the batteries be available?"

Jiang Fan frowned slightly and ordered: "First, equip the truck with a fake battery, then connect it to an external DC power supply, and test the parts outside the battery first."

Lu Dongwei nodded and responded readily: "Okay."

There are special experimental equipment in the laboratory. The car is directly suspended in the air, and there are other equipment to simulate the ground. There is no need to actually run on the ground.

So as long as the weight is correct, an external DC power supply can also be used for testing.

Of course, the data obtained by using DC power supply cannot be counted, and we still need to wait for the arrival of new batteries.

However, you can indeed use this method for preliminary testing.

And another advantage is that there are no more meetings.

Meetings are normal, but they don't like meetings where Jiang Fan is present.

Jiang Fan is the boss, and they can't let go of a meeting with Jiang Fan.

This is okay, you just need to get used to it a few times.

The difficult thing is to explain professional knowledge to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan is not a professional, and many of the proper nouns for cars have to be explained to Jiang Fan.

Fortunately, Jiang Fan has a very high IQ. Most of the time, Jiang Fan will understand once they say it. Even if they don’t understand, Jiang Fan will take the initiative to ask, and will not pretend to understand and cause them to explain it multiple times.

But even so, they don't like meetings with their bosses, it's too depressing.
