Spring Breeze 1991

Yakov who was standing not far behind Yao Yuan suddenly said, "It seems to be researching aero-engine technology."

Yao Yuan frowned, as if he was about to grasp the few relevant memory fragments in his memory, but it was still very chaotic.

He beckoned Yakov to come forward.

Yakov came over and said uncertainly, "Mr. Yao, it seems that this place studies aero-engine technology, and it has been filed in our bureau."

Filed with the KGB...

Yao Yuan remembered everything, and his whole body became inexplicably excited.

He shook his head and said, "No, that's for later."

Without a word, he strode in.

Yakov was lonely when he heard this, and didn't understand Yao Yuan's meaning.

Everyone hurriedly followed. Lu Sen searched for the relevant information of the Zells Institute of Power, and there was only a thin piece of paper, and trotted to follow.

The yard is really small, there is only a single two-story building, the ground is covered with snow, and there are two ruts that are beginning to be covered with snowflakes again.

It's obviously been out of business for a long time.

A man in his 40s came out of the room and stood in the corridor on the second floor, holding a small half of a cigar in his hand, looking down at Yao Yuan and the others with an indifferent expression.

Yao Yuan raised his head and looked at the man. At this moment, all the memories came out. He was very excited and took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

Yuri, a Ukrainian, moved to Pilsen, Czech Republic with his father when he was a child, a power master.

This was the saddest and darkest stage of his life.

Even a piece of scrap iron from the factory will be bought by foreign trading companies trying to earn a high price difference, but the Zells Institute of Power (a technology company) he founded is not even interested in business brokers and second-hand dealers.

Because there is no technology that can be realized.

If Yao Yuan remembers correctly, Yuri and his small team are developing a four-cylinder gasoline engine for small cars, and the investor is Skoda Auto.

However, he never imagined that the project had just started, the Soviet Union was gone, the Czech Republic was in chaos, and Skoda was acquired by the German Volkswagen Group.

He went to the representative of Volkswagen Germany repeatedly to ask for continued funding according to the contract, but Volkswagen decisively canceled the cooperation after learning about his research progress.

The research project just launched has not yet passed the theoretical research stage, so it is stillborn.

Yuri fell into trouble overnight.
&nw, the first series-produced inline four-cylinder turbo was introduced just a year later, and a diesel version was later developed.

In his previous life, Yao Yuan met Yuri at an international power development forum and had a chat.

At this time, Yao Yuan looked up at Yuri who seemed to have known him before, as if he saw his lover when he turned the corner of the street, his eyes were filled with greedy admiration...

Yao Yuan suddenly said loudly, "Mr. Yuri, I will pay you for your research, and together you and I will create the world's most advanced four-cylinder turbocharged engine!"

The small half of the cigar in Yuri's mouth fell off and landed not far in front of Yao Yuan.

After a while, he closed his mouth in astonishment, wishing he could just jump down.

He rushed down in one breath.

Yakov took two steps forward, looked at him coldly, and raised his hand to signal him not to come any closer.

Only then did Yuri calm down quickly, and looked at the person coming.

The young man in the middle is very, very young, with assistants on both sides, and bodyguards guarding all around like the head of government.

There are a lot of people coming.

"Who are you?" Yuri took a deep breath.

Yao Yuan walked over, motioned Yakov to step aside, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yuri, my name is Yao Yuan, and I am from Huaxia. I have two machinery factories and a machinery manufacturing group under my name, with more than 5000 employees. I very much I agree with your small displacement trend theory, and I am very optimistic about your ongoing research project, and we have a basis for cooperation."

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Yuri was stunned, and Lu Sen was the most stunned.He didn't know what Yao Yuan said.Lu Sen became more and more convinced that Yao Yuan had a second intelligence system on the Eastern European side, at least in the Czech Republic.

There is no need to pass the thin paper in his hand, which records the situation of the Zells Institute of Power, to the boss, Lu Sen thought with some disappointment.

Yao Yuan asked to come over, nodded slightly, and read it carefully.

The grievance in Lu Sen's heart disappeared.

"Bring over the procedures for the machinery and equipment you bought today." Yao Yuan said.

Lu Sen agreed, and hurried back to the car to get out with the lockbox, all of which were formalities. With these things, the equipment could be transported back unimpeded.

Yuri frowned thickly and asked, "Mr. Yao, have you read my thesis?"

"I haven't read the paper, but I have read your speech at the academic exchange meeting. I agree with your judgment very much." Yao Yuan laughed.

The power master who was born in Ukraine and grew up in the Czech Republic in front of him is a staunch supporter of small-displacement engines.

This view became popular 20 years later, because the world's major industrial countries have stricter and stricter emission requirements, especially China. Most of the large-displacement models will "die" in just a few years. When those representatives With a small four-cylinder engine stuffed into the engine bay of the world's highest level of luxury cars, the loyal fans of the large displacement wailed everywhere...

But at this time in the 90s, various car manufacturers are currently engaging in an arms race. Whoever has the largest displacement is more advanced. Mercedes-Benz and BMW have produced more than 4.0, Audi followed closely with 5.0, and Mercedes-Benz produced 6.6 liters in one go. Displacement of...

Therefore, Yuri's point of view has no market at all, and no one buys his account.

However, Yao Yuan is well aware of the future market for small-displacement cars. There are very few cars with a displacement of more than 2.0 on the street. Even the 7 Series uses a 2.0-displacement four-cylinder turbocharged engine...

The general trend is that the future will be dominated by small-displacement engines.

Yuri was quite excited, and said, "Mr. Yao, you also study car engines? They think that oil resources are inexhaustible, but I can tell you clearly that I have studied the entire history of oil use. Every oil crisis The emergence of all these have severely damaged the world economy. The shortcoming of high energy consumption of large-displacement engines will eventually be fully exposed."

"Except for some special vehicles, future cars will definitely use a large number of small-displacement engines. However, as long as the problem of weak power of small-displacement engines is solved, small-displacement engines can also provide power equal to or even surpass that of large-displacement engines. output, and with less power consumption!"

Yao Yuan smiled and asked, "Why don't you think of a way to reduce the energy consumption of large-displacement engines? Doing so is more in line with the current mainstream view."

"Impossible." Yuri said with certainty, "It's almost impossible to do, maybe it can be done, but that requires more new technologies. But squeezing the power of a small-displacement engine is completely achievable with the current technology .”

Yao Yuan is very satisfied. Yuri thinks so, which shows that he is not an ideal scientific researcher, but a pragmatic scientific researcher who closely combines the market reality and the actual technical situation to guide the research and development work.

"I quite agree with your point of view."

Lu Sen came over and opened the box to show the procedure materials inside.

Yao Yuan continued, "Mr. Yuri, when the situation was different, I got straight to the point. This is the mechanical equipment I bought today, and these are only a small part. I will use 3000 million US dollars to buy equipment and technology, you don't have to doubt it My strength. If you are willing to go to Huaxia to continue your research, you can talk to me about the details now."

There is no need to beat around the bush, Yao Yuan at this time is a lifeline for Yuri.
