"Little Jimmy, your learning ability is indeed much better than Bob's. Although Bob is also very good, your IQ is much higher than him. This is an indisputable fact.
But if you think the knowledge we are learning now is very simple, you are totally wrong. I will take you to my laboratory now and let you see what a real engine is!"
Professor Claire took the two people into the car and drove to another campus of Stanford University himself.
"laboratory!"
Liu Lang suddenly became energetic. He had been studying for four months and had never been to Professor Claire's laboratory. He heard from other students that it was a shocking place and not everyone could enter.
Only doctoral students are eligible for Professor Claire's students. Unless they are graduate students who Professor Claire attaches great importance to, they will not be allowed to enter.
It seems that Claire is a little impatient this time, or maybe he feels that both people are qualified to enter his laboratory.
Liu Lang felt excited, and so did Bob sitting next to him, his eyes shining.
Stanford University is very large and is the largest school in the United States. Silicon Valley was actually formed when Stanford University rented idle land to graduates at low prices to start their own businesses. Even if large tracts of land were rented out, there was still a lot of land, so the school
The campus was divided into teaching areas and experimental areas, and most of the laboratories were built on large open spaces one kilometer away from the teaching areas.
After decades of continuous construction, there are many buildings in the experimental area, and there are also many factories mixed in during this period. Basically, it is a building with a factory. The planning is very clear. Those who don't know it may think that this is an industrial factory.
Professor Claire's car drove into the "factory area", drove along the flat road, and soon arrived at the gate of the "factory" surrounded by walls.
Liu Lang felt that there was indeed a factory in front of him. It was as big as half a football field. There was a four-story office building. Thirty meters away from the building were two white factory buildings. Each one was fifty meters long and two meters wide.
Ten meters, a steel structure building with a height of nearly ten meters.
People were constantly coming in and out of the buildings and factories, and everyone was wearing white coats, just like doctors.
This is Professor Claire's laboratory, perhaps the experimental factory area is more appropriate.
Liu Lang was a little emotional. Xiong Huaizhi, as the country's top construction machinery expert, also has his own laboratory. It was transformed from a factory. The size of the factory is only about half of the steel structure factory in front of him. It is also divided into several areas.
.
It is obvious that the two laboratories are very different from each other just in terms of appearance.
When Professor Claire's Cadillac arrived at the door, a uniformed black security guard immediately opened the factory door, then stood straight to the side and saluted as Professor Claire entered the factory.
This is a formal management system, everything is in order.
"Hello, Professor!"
People passing by saw Professor Claire nodded slightly, but didn't say much.
This is Claire's laboratory, yes, but not all of it is experimental. Claire has many titles, such as independent director of a large machinery and equipment company. Many of the equipment can also perform testing, production and other functions. Those staff
They are ordinary employees who work hard and get paid. The relationship between them and Claire is just an employment relationship, and there is no need to please each other too much. Of course, these people are also highly qualified in the mechanical field, and ordinary people cannot do this kind of work.
"You two follow me! I'll show you my "collection"!"
Claire waved and led Liu Lang and Bob into the first factory building.
Liu Lang was attracted by the scene inside as soon as he walked into this spacious factory building.
Xiong Huaizhi's laboratory contains all kinds of mechanical equipment, including most machine tools, including lathes, grinders and milling machines, but they are all old-model equipment. Of course, Xiong Huaizhi and his students will also develop some new equipment, but the technology will always have to be improved.
Without a breakthrough, there is nothing we can do. The industrial system is a systematic project, everything from materials to technology is indispensable. The country lags behind in all aspects, and the final equipment manufactured will inevitably lag behind. Xiong Huaizhi can only do it in terms of technology.
some contributions.
The equipment placed in this factory is completely different. They are all engines. Many of them are engines that Liu Lang does not recognize. Liu Lang has also seen many engines in China, such as the CA-10 engine of the old Jiefang Truck, which is a copy of the Soviet Union.
Model-made diesel engines, as well as the CA6110 engine, which is the Mitsubishi engine introduced by the country in the early 1980s. The most advanced one is the Chrysler V8 of Lao Hongqi.
5.65 engine. This kind of engine was a relatively advanced engine in the 1950s. However, except for the engine, the other supporting parts were completely substandard. The Hongqi car could only be seen there and could not be driven on the road at all.
Liu Lang had disassembled all these engines before and knew the structure inside well, but now the engines in front of him have become too advanced. The number of parts alone has more than doubled, and each one is shiny.
Human ears and eyes.
"This engine is a Chrysler V6200C engine, this is a rotary engine powered by Porsche, and this is a naturally aspirated engine powered by last year's F1 champion McLaren team. These British people are all "stupid".
They don't make civilian cars, they only focus on racing cars, but their naturally aspirated technology is really great. No other country can compare with it. The price of this engine alone is as high as half a million US dollars. By the way, McLaren Automobile's territory adopts
Carbon fiber material is the first in the world."
Claire pointed at the various engines and said, Liu Lang stared blankly at them.
Any one of these engines is top-notch in the world. If a country can manufacture one independently, its industrial system will reach the pinnacle of the world.
Seeing Liu Lang's dumbfounded look, Claire finally felt proud. No matter how smart you are, you are not knowledgeable enough. Only professionals can access these engines even in the United States, let alone the poor places in China. I'm afraid they can't even hear it.
Heard.
"Although the car engine is good, it is not the best in the world. Come, come, take a look at this...!"
Claire proudly took the two of them to the back, and saw a huge engine that was more than six meters long and two meters high in the open space.
"This is the JT8D-209 turbofan engine developed by McDonnell Douglas. This engine is installed on the MD-82 civil aviation aircraft. It has a maximum passenger capacity of 147, a maximum take-off weight of 67,812 kilograms, and a maximum business load of 16,692 kilograms.
The maximum cruising speed is Mach 0.84, which is the most advanced engine today!"
Claire explained.
"It's so big, it's really the pinnacle of mechanical manufacturing!"
In Liu Lang's eyes, this engine was like an artifact.
