Engineer Cheolwoo Lee (7)
When I said that, the team leader’s expression turned bad.
“……. Mr. Cheol-woo. I know that Mr. Cheol-woo has good technical skills. However, hybrid engines are not child’s play, and it is difficult to ask for collaboration so blindly.”
Um, are you still not recognizing my technical skills?
“We have completed the 6-axis milling machine and succeeded in mass production of free vector gears. In addition, we have AHS system, TSS system, and CAK technology. We have created such innovative technology. If we collaborate, it will be very good I think I can show you the results.”
appealed once more.
“Yes. I know. Cheol-woo is amazing, but this is what goes into the engine of a car. It is the result of research by numerous doctors and engineers over the past few decades in Hyeonseong. I wonder if you are looking at such things too easily.”
It wasn’t easy.
car engine. What is it that makes you so proud?
A few days before coming here, I studied a little.
4 administrative bodies. According to the encyclopedia, it is an internal combustion engine that completes one cycle by four strokes of intake, compression, explosion, and exhaust.
The fuel is compressed with oxygen in the air to ensure complete combustion.
Then, the process of obtaining kinetic energy by using the heat energy generated during combustion.
Is it that difficult?
“Hmm. Am I taking it too easy?”
“I honestly don’t want to say this, but an engine doesn’t come out easily. How much oxygen and fuel should be combined, how hot the fuel valve should be, how to compress and explode We need to use that energy to get momentum and the next explosion, and safety must be guaranteed in the process, and precision is required.”
“…”
“It is the engine of a vehicle called the crystallization of modern technology.”
The essence of modern technology? Shouldn’t that be a spacecraft, not a vehicle?
I wanted to argue, but team leader Seo was too serious, so I let it go.
“I still want to participate.”
I wanted to make the most powerful hybrid engine in existence with 30 per liter and 50% thermal efficiency because of money, but I gradually had a desire to take on challenges.
Records and performance that no one has ever challenged.
I wanted to try making it.
“If you really want to participate, get a job as an engineer for Hyunsung Motors. Then, start with a low-level employee and work your way up slowly. If you become a team leader level developer in Hyunsung, then try it.”
I had no intention of participating at all.
“……. At the Tokyo Automotive Technology Expo to be held next year, Toyo Motors is said to be presenting the GTC-3 model.”
“I heard.”
“How is Hyeonseong prepared?”
“We are going to show off the LKC hybrid engine.”
“They say that Toyo Motors will be presented as a complete product. Would it be okay with that?”
“What do you want to say now?”
The atmosphere was getting increasingly grim.
“Rumor has it that the LKC hybrid engine hasn’t solved the problem with power delivery yet.”
After that, I looked around for hybrid engines.
The LKC hybrid engine made by Hyun-sung was still unfinished. Of course, the 16 fuel economy shown in Beijing the other day was almost at the level of showing.
“…”
Whether the rumors were true, Team Leader Seo disappeared.
“How long will you remain a latecomer?”
definitely provoked
Because I am confident, the production of a hybrid engine with 30 per liter and 50% thermal efficiency.
“Cheol-woo, what are you trying to do now? You asked me if I was a student, so do you think this is a school?”
“Sorry, but that means you’re confident.”
I wasn’t here to fight. I’m here to convince you
“Fu…… Anyway, that condition is unreasonable.”
Team leader Seo felt like this when I, an adult, put up with it.
“Then we will prove that we have the technology to participate in the hybrid engine project.”
“Proof? How are you going to prove it?”
Team leader Seo was still sharp.
“The problem with the free vector gear was that it couldn’t be used at high output and high rotation, right? We will improve that. So that there is no problem even at high output and high rotation.”
To make the hybrid engine I thought of, I need a small free vector gear that can handle high power and high rotation anyway.
If you can’t improve it, you can’t make it anyway.
It would be just proof of good technology for them.
“What is it?”
“It is literally. I am the one who designed the free vector gear. So even if I improve it, I can do it. How would it be if a high power, high rotation free vector gear was created? Wouldn’t there be an infinite number of ways to use it?”
Team Leader Seo must have originally studied to use a free vector gear in an automobile dynamometer. However, it failed, and an order was placed to put it in the convenience facilities of the vehicle instead.
And in the process of research, he must have found a way to improve it.
I’d say it’s impossible.
“Impossible.”
It was as expected.
“Why do you think so?”
“Hmm… I think I’ve said it before, but we’ve also made and studied the free vector gear. In the process, we found out that it couldn’t be used at high power and high rotation, and we tried to improve it. But it was a very sophisticated saw blade. , the moment it goes over 1000 RPM per minute, it starts to slip and spin.”
“Yes. I made it, so I must know better than anyone else.”
Team leader Seo is silent for a moment.
“Does that mean it’s possible?”
“Sure, it’s in the research phase. But I don’t think it’s impossible.”
Team leader Seo looked at me and made an ambiguous expression.
“If that’s possible… you can put on a new innovative design. In addition, the design of the vehicle will be simplified and production costs will be reduced accordingly.”
I guess I did a lot more research than I thought.
If a free vector gear is added to the steering system and power unit, it will change to a new paradigm of automobiles.
The price is cheap, and the fuel economy is good.
If that happens, it would not be a dream for Hyeonseong to become the world’s No. 1 company beating Toyo Motors.
“That alone will be enough to beat Toyo Motors, but if a hybrid engine with high efficiency is made, it will surely become the world’s No. 1 company. Let’s pretend and believe.”
“…”
Chief Seo seemed to think for a moment.
“Why on earth do you want to do that? Participation of a hybrid engine? And if you have that level of technology, can’t you make it yourself?”
“There are several problems. First, as you know, no one will know that we are making an engine. It will take a lot of time to commercialize.”
I know this because I’ve done it many times.
The guy who did the business is the best. It’s just that we caught up with Minseok to take care of royalties only.
“Well, that’s true. So you’re saying you only get royalties?”
“yes.”
“Then, why not make it yourself, register a patent, and then do business with us?”
“Did you just say that? Engines don’t come out easily. I’m well aware of that. That’s why I need to know the current technology in detail.”
Up until now, you might think that it was just made quickly, but if you think about it carefully, there were all the basic facilities and technologies.
CAK was able to be made because there were Android SDK and IOS SDK, and TSS was a NAC and security program previously created by Total Solution. C** algorithms could also be made because there were C* algorithms and A* algorithms.
The 6-axis milling machine was also created by remodeling a multi-axis milling machine.
It was definitely difficult and difficult to make from scratch. There was a lot of trial and error while making the AHS system for 6 months. Among them, there were many basic facilities.
“hmm…….”
Team leader Seo thought deeply once more.
Wow, that’s damn hard.
If I had made my name known as a truly outstanding engineer, I would have personally come and begged.
After all, that doesn’t mean I can’t go to Japan or Germany to make deals.
With reference to this time, I need to make a good hybrid engine with high efficiency and make the name known properly.
Then these annoying things will be gone.
Well, I understand that it is difficult for them to disclose their technology to anyone.
“Okay. If you make a free vector gear capable of high power and high rotation, I’ll admit it. I’ll give you a chance to participate in our hybrid engine technology development.”
Team leader Seo finally opened his mouth after thinking for a long time.
“Yes. You won’t regret it.”
* * *
Team leader Seo, who was talking with Cheol-woo, was full of energy.
‘No, what kind of guys are there?’
At first, I asked because I was worried about the unit price of the free vector gear. How much do you have left over, and are there any left over?
Shouldn’t there be something left over to do business?
However, he said that he left 3,000 won only for royalties. If you digest all the first orders, it was a little less than 300 million won a year.
Sitting still and collecting 300 million won in patent fees was easy to say, but it was a really difficult task.
15,000 won if converted into a car.
He also uses many foreign patents in Hyeonseong, and the highest royalty for a car was around 10,000 won.
The rest was almost all of their own technology.
‘No, what and what? Thermal efficiency 50%. The strongest hybrid engine?’
The first time I heard that, I was so stunned that I couldn’t speak.
The thermal efficiency of a gasoline engine is, at best, 25%. No matter how much you add an electric power unit, raising the thermal efficiency by 100%… … .
‘Isn’t it impossible with common sense?’
After the creation of the gasoline engine, how great efforts have been made by many famous engineering doctors around the world to increase thermal efficiency for hundreds of years.
Harvard, Stanford, and MIT.
Even if it increases by 10%, it consumes 10% less fuel.
‘By the way, raising it to 50%?’
It was nonsensical bullsh*t.
‘It must be an ulterior motive to steal Hyeonseong’s technology.’
he thought so Hyunsung’s hybrid engine technology is not world-class technology, but it was recognized a little.
Obviously Lee Cheol-woo is smart, a genius.
‘Perhaps if you take a look at the blueprints of the engine, you’ll understand everything.’
And it was very difficult for them to convert it into their own and do a new car business. Of course, that didn’t mean that Hyunseong didn’t have confidence.
Obviously, he thought so… … .
‘No, is it real?’
As I was talking with Cheol-woo, I couldn’t help but think of that.
tremendous confidence.
‘You will prove it by making a high-power, high-rotation free vector gear?’
He said he would prove his skill to himself.
‘What if it was really made?’
Obviously, if the gear can withstand high power and high rotation, the paradigm of the vehicle will change. From design to price.
It was an innovation.
And he thought
‘Cheol-woo, is that friend really trying to increase thermal efficiency? Is that really possible?’
He was serious about improving thermal efficiency.
‘that is… … . If that’s possible.’
Team leader Seo started to get goosebumps all over his body.
‘genius. no… … . Genius of the century… … .’
Even that modifier was insufficient.
‘The greatest genius in human history.’
