Automotive Black Technology Chapter 749: :Atlas project, start!

It is undeniable that with the F-750, which is the same as the F50, the foundation of the heavy fire truck platform has been laid. This provided a considerable boost to Li Fanyu's plan to complete the research and development within three months.
After joking, the three top students also became serious and carefully analyzed the division of labor in research and development.
At present, most of the teams at the Zhengxin R&D Center, except Wang Rui's group, are working on their own projects. If the group develops fire truck platforms and fire ladders, the number of people that can be deployed is about two thousand.
Faced with the difficulty of developing heavy-duty fire truck platforms, how to allocate them reasonably and efficiently has become the primary issue facing everyone.
"Brother Fan, we can divide the team into three groups. They are responsible for the F750, ladder, platform and control system respectively. But the problem before us now is that ladders, platforms and control systems are not our expertise. So Have you thought about how to allocate personnel specifically? ”
Listening to Xu Fufang's analysis, Li Fanyu nodded deeply, "In my opinion, the top priority of this project is the universal fire protection platform. You have the research and development experience of the F150, and the research and development of the F750 is relatively easy. As for the aerial ladder... you are actually wrong. Since I want a platform that can perfectly match heavy-duty firefighting equipment, how can I develop a ladder as a fire-fighting equipment? ”
Liu Qing was stunned: "Then what are you going to do?"
Li Fanyu smiled slightly: "There are two common categories of heavy fire trucks and six types. Foam fire trucks, dry powder firefighting trucks, foam-dry powder combined vehicles, and carbon dioxide trucks are one category. They all use fire extinguishing agents and high-pressure injection as fire extinguishing methods, and their structures can be universal. Elevated platforms, ladders, and elevated spray arms are the second type, and they all use hydraulic rods to perform high-altitude fire-fighting operations. Roughly the same. So I want to develop two types of trailer fire-fighting platforms and make these six matching tops! ”
"Huh?!"
The faces of the three top students all fell.
"Brother Fan, your appetite is too big! Can we eat this?"
Li Fanyu stretched out his finger and shook it gently, "Why can't you eat it? The heavy-duty fire trucks on the market now are all imported. The prices are high and maintenance is laborious. The market pain points are there, let's not intervene. How can it be done with just one kick? ”
"I agree with Brother Fan. I get angry when I see the Mercedes-Benz fire trucks all over the street! Fuck him!" Liu Qing said angrily.
Li Fanyu nodded, "It is necessary. But our current energy and resources are limited. We cannot carry out these two types of heavy fire trucks at the same time. We need to do it in two steps. Considering that the government is providing a ladder fire truck project , then we will first make the second type of platform and the three matching tops.
This is our first step. If we can make this set good for use by the fire department, then we will naturally have no worries about getting the first type of platform and three matching tops.
As for how to build the second type of platform and how to allocate personnel...hehe, I have an idea. ”
Xu Fufang asked quickly: "What can I do?"
Li Fan said with a silly smile: "This time the research and development task is huge. If we want to complete it as soon as possible, we must gather all the available research and development forces of Zhengxin."
"But the current situation is here! Wang Rui's high-performance R&D team is working on the Audi project and cannot move. Everything that is left usable is sitting here."
Li Fanyu waved his hand, "Have you forgotten that we... have a branch in the United States? Asshole!"
The three top students were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
"Zhou Cao, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot!"
Li Fanyu said: "The OEM engineering team has also participated in the entire development of the F150. Now they have about 300 people working on the sports car project in the hands of little Culbo.
You can definitely pause it first and pull them over to engage in F750!
In this case, we can allocate all available manpower in the R&D center and start building a universal platform for heavy fire trucks, as well as the research and development of fire fighting equipment such as canned spray, ladders, lifting arms, and lifting platforms! With the four of us taking the lead and two thousand people doing this, even if we have no experience, can we do it in three months? ”
"Tough work!" Liu Qing made a last strike.
But under the eyes of Li Fanyu who could kill people, he immediately changed his words: "Absolutely capable! I guarantee to complete the mission!"
After finishing speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "Succumb to the power of the big boss..."
Mom! That's pretty much it!
Li Fanyu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, that's it. You go hurry up and make preparations. I'll contact little Kuerbo right away and ask him to lead the team here."
Li Fanyu didn’t believe it. With all the research and development power currently available to Zhengxin, there could still be something unsolved!
……
The work efficiency of Zhengxin R&D Center is very fast.
Each team of engineers is used to the current situation where they are doing well on their own projects but are suddenly stopped from investing in new R&D projects.
Less than two days after Li Fanyu issued the order, various teams had temporarily suspended their research and development projects and were integrated and organized on standby.
Although the sports car project of Little Culbo was left behind by his father, the research and development during this period was all funded by Li Fanyu and occupied the resources of the Zhengxin OEM branch. So when he received a call from Li Fanyu asking them to go to China and take full responsibility for the research and development of Zhengxin's new model, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
The OEM is also very efficient. After some preparations, it arrived at Tiancheng in just three days.
The OEM has cooperated with the R&D center, and the engineers on both sides have already established a relationship during the previous development of the F150. Language and cultural differences are not a problem at all in an environment like Zhengxin where the average age of engineers is only twenty-five.
In addition, the OEM is essentially conducting research and development of the F750 model alone, so apart from the need to send people to be responsible for mediation, it does not have much contact with the projects of other teams.
So, after Li Fanyu assigned the research and development tasks, the heavy fire truck project code-named "Atlas" was launched with great fanfare.
This project code name was the result of a study by three top students. As for why this code name was used, it is related to the characteristics of the universal fire truck platform.
Ladder trucks, aerial platforms and elevating spray arms are all machines designed to deal with fires in high-rise buildings. It also requires the use of hydraulic telescopic devices for lifting. The essence of its work is actually to lift firefighters or water cannons to high places.
This feeling is like a strong arm dragging something on the ground to a higher place.
This way of working reminds the third-year student, Atlas, the famous Titan in the myth of Rila. The son of Iobitus and the brother of Prometheus. Because he did not rebel, he fell into the hands of Zeus and was punished to be held up to the sky in the westernmost place of the world.
Feet on the ground and carry the sky on your shoulders!
With such a meaningful code name, the research and development of a universal platform for heavy fire trucks has begun!
