The rotorcraft that Wang Ye talked about was called the "Three-Bouncer in the Sky" by netizens decades later. To put it bluntly, it was a flying motorcycle.
At the same time, from this name, we can see a major feature of the rotorcraft, that is, its low cost!
Compared with other manned aircraft, the cost of gyroplanes is the lowest. The only ones that are even lower are powered paragliders, but those things can't even be called "aircraft", and the load capacity is also a problem.
The second feature is stability and security.
Different from the flight principle of a helicopter, a gyrocopter is driven by a horizontal propeller at the tail. During the movement, the top rotor hits the wind and rotates, providing lift at the same time, and then takes off.
So even if the engine stalls in the air, because the speed is still there, the top rotor can still provide lift, and you can make a safe landing.
Decades later, once the small rotorcraft was launched, it was enthusiastically sought after by the military. It was widely used for border patrols and other tasks, and even appeared in military parades.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Ye has no doubt about the practicality of the rotorcraft, so after acquiring this motorcycle production line, Wang Ye will be the first to launch this product.
After all, the core of a gyroplane is the engine!
In fact, designing an engine is not difficult for Wang Ye.
On the contrary, it was a waste of Wang Ye's energy to determine what kind of engine to design, because although the design is easy, the current technical conditions are insufficient and it is not easy to produce it, and a certain degree of versatility needs to be considered.
Finally, after a series of trade-offs, Wang Ye finally decided on this engine.
First of all, it can provide enough power for the rotorcraft, and the output power can reach over one hundred horsepower, which is of course the most important thing.
Secondly, this engine will have a water-cooled version. Wang Ye plans to use the water-cooled version of the engine as the basis to build a variety of models such as cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks.
Not only can these models be sold domestically, filling a large gap in the domestic automobile market, but they can also be exported!
Take Toyota as an example.
As we all know, at the end of the last century, Toyota was originally engaged in the textile industry. Its founder Sakichi Toyoda was known as the "Textile King." Later, Sakichi Toyoda sent his son Kiichiro Toyoda to study mechanical engineering at Tokyo Imperial University in Japan. After graduation, he entered He joined the family factory as an engineer.
But Kiichiro Toyoda was very ambitious. At the beginning of this century, he went to Europe to purchase new textile machines, came into contact with the automobile industry, and then resolutely led Toyota to start its transformation.
During World War II, Toyota was transformed into a military factory, producing military vehicles and weapons for the Japanese until they were sanctioned after the defeat and fell into a state of near bankruptcy.
The turning point occurred during the Bangzi Peninsula War. Because the front line was too long, the United States had to purchase military vehicles from Japan. It was these military vehicle orders that brought Toyota back to life!
As for Toyota's rise again and its global fame, it was in the 1970s and 1980s.
With the outbreak of the oil crisis, American classic cars with a displacement of seven or eight liters and a dozen cylinders were no longer affordable. However, Toyota quickly occupied the American market with its low fuel consumption, reliability, and the marketing methods that the island has always been good at. Then it took the global market by storm.
So this time, Wang Ye wants to intercept Toyota and Honda!
Since your main focus is low fuel consumption, then I will have lower fuel consumption than you. Since your main focus is reliability, then I will have to be more reliable than you!
More importantly, the scene of the lion saluting must never appear again!
Of course, if you want to challenge or even surpass giants like Toyota and Honda, it is definitely impossible to rely on these small engines alone, so when you get rich later, Wang Ye will still build large engines.
at last.
The current entry-level model of this engine is a horizontally opposed four-cylinder with a displacement of 1200CC. In the future, it can easily cut off two cylinders and become a 600CC displacement, or directly cut off the three cylinders and become a 300CC displacement.
This way, it can be easily installed on the motorcycle.
In today's era, under the impact of Honda and Suzuki imported from Japan, domestic motorcycles can only produce small cars with a displacement of less than 100CC, which are low-cost and have a poor reputation.
And Wang Ye wants to compete with imported cars. Nowadays, "domestic" cars are not advantageous, so Wang Ye must find his own track and give full play to his advantages!
In the end, Wang Ye decided that the advantage was displacement!
Anyway, people who can afford high-end motorcycles now are not short of money, and domestic oil prices are not expensive. Your Honda King motorcycle sells for 40,000 yuan, with a twin-cylinder displacement of 125CC, and mine has a twin-cylinder displacement of 600CC. Your horsepower is 15 horsepower. I have a horsepower of 50, and you have a traditional 125 horsepower. I do imitation racing, I do ADV, and I am better than you!
So Wang Ye's strategy is very simple, that is, use the most intuitive data and performance to hit high-end!
Only when the high-end is done can we develop the low-end. What kind of 50CC displacement motorcycle will not only be sold in China, but also sell well in third world countries in Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America!
In the conference room.
Wang Ye explained with spitfire and answered questions raised by everyone from time to time.
at the same time.
Africa, Tanzania, the time has come to five o'clock in the afternoon.
Kikwete has received some gossip from various channels. It is said that he will be appointed as the fourth deputy minister of defense. This makes Kikwete excited, but also makes Kikwete uneasy.
Although the gas tank has brought me enough prestige, it has also become my weakness!
Thinking of this, Kikwete suddenly stood up and shouted to the door:
"Pari, come in!"
Following Kikwete's voice, the guards outside the door walked in, and Kikwete asked:
"How many people do we have that can be mobilized now?"
"I have an uneasy feeling. The defense at the arsenal is not strong enough. I feel like something will go wrong!"
Hearing what Kikwete said, the guard named Pari nodded without thinking, but with a trace of worry on his face and said:
"Currently, we only have a little over a hundred manpower available."
"They are all your personal guards. The others have been dispatched to the arsenal. The number of guards at the arsenal now exceeds 500. There should be no problem, right?"
"The number of personal guards cannot be reduced, otherwise your safety cannot be guaranteed."
As soon as the personal guard Pali finished speaking, Kikwete suddenly smiled. He shook his head and said:
"If that's the case, then I'll go live in the arsenal!"
"This is also the wisdom I learned in China. Since you can't divide your troops into two groups, then find a way to merge the goals into one!"
"I want to see how courageous those people are!"
"Walk!"
Faced with Kikwete's order, bodyguard Parry wanted to refuse, but faced Kikwete's sharp gaze, he finally nodded. A moment later, Kikwete's motorcade left in a majestic manner under the protection of his bodyguards. .
Just as the car he was riding in left, in a building a few hundred meters away from the door of Kikwit's house, the man behind the curtain held a telescope and whispered:
"Plan begins!"
