ABT Chapter 107: Making a Big News

Calibration was a tedious task. Not to mention the entire car, just the engine alone involved sensor calibration, fuel injection system component calibration, legal and performance calibration, engine emission calibration, calibration for cold, hot, and plateau environments, maximum power, torque, speed limit calibration, emission calibration, and fault calibration.

Generally, calibrating a new type of engine requires an entire team of engineers to produce nearly 1,500 pages of calibration documents, encompassing tens of thousands of calibration variables. For a team of twenty-five engineers, this workload would take at least fifteen months and cost... let's round it off to ten million yuan.

Li Fanyu watched Anning's lips moving, feeling incredibly fortunate.

The drawings in his mind clearly indicated all the parameters, except for some ambiguity in the plateau calibration, everything else was pretty straightforward.

Ah, there was no way around it. He had just saved over ten million... With Xapp, Mom wouldn't have to worry about me being a sucker anymore.

He waved his hand to Anning, telling her that they only needed to use the laboratory's environment simulation test bench for the plateau calibration test.

Just as Anning was about to retort, Li Fanyu rattled off all the engine parameters like a proud owner.

Because he was simply reciting from the drawings in his mind, he felt somewhat like a humanoid computer at the moment.

Initially, Anning didn't pay much attention, thinking he was just bluffing because he didn't want to spend money on calibration. But as Li Fanyu recited the content of the high and low-temperature calibrations, she was dumbfounded.

Because changes in fuel density, viscosity, overall engine heat load, and thermal protection were almost identical for engines under high-temperature conditions. The values Li Fanyu mentioned were basically consistent with the reference values for the Mercedes-Benz 1.8T engine.

From this perspective, the credibility of this content was extremely high.

She regained her composure and quickly picked up her laptop to record. However, Li Fanyu stood up and closed the laptop with a swift motion.

Joke, these things were all imprinted in his mind, when would he ever need them written down? He would just organize them himself when he had time.

Anning's lips parted slightly, at a loss for words.

This guy was a monster! Did he have a Milky Way computer in his brain? Calibration data was something that had to be deduced through countless experiments!

Or maybe, did he plagiarize this engine?

Impossible, currently all the turbocharged engines in production were in his mind, and there was hardly any similarity between the technology of ZGX888 and those. Even if he did plagiarize, it would be from engines still in the testing phase.

However, fortunately, Anning wasn't someone who dug into things.

A woman's mindset changes with age; when they are young, they tend to fuss over trivial matters. For example, when texting with a boyfriend, if he doesn't reply immediately, some girls might start to wonder if he's with another woman, doing something secretive behind their backs, or if he doesn't love them anymore. So, when the boyfriend calls, they might demand a breakup.

But after experiencing the years, gaining experience, enduring loneliness, and seeing through the facade of glamour, most women in their late twenties and early thirties become more mature.

Even if you stay out all night, they won't interrogate you about where you've been. Instead, they'll do their nails, take good care of themselves, put on makeup, and wear the sexiest outfit in their closet.

When you walk in the door, they'll lightly say, "Honey, you're back? I have an appointment and need to go out. Don't wait for me tonight, I might come back late or not at all."

And then they'll make you confess everything about your whereabouts last night and provide strong evidence to prove your innocence.

... (Don't ask me how I know this.)

But women, like individuals, differ.

Anning's maturity was such that whatever others wanted to say to her, she would naturally say. If she didn't want to say something, even if she was curious, she wouldn't force it.

So, when she saw that Anning didn't pursue further questions and quietly organized the data, Li Fanyu felt that a woman with a less curious nature was really adorable.

The NSI-type plateau environment simulation equipment in the laboratory was top-notch, even in Germany. The sealed test bench could perfectly replicate the characteristics of plateau environments such as air pressure, temperature, and humidity.

Plateau calibration, well, it was just that. It couldn't be omitted, but having it didn't make much difference either. Its basic contents only included seven items: turbocharger protection, exhaust temperature overprotection, low-pressure fuel system messiness, among others. A large part of it was repetitive with cold climate calibration.

But any new engine intending for mass production must have it as required by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

So, there was no escaping or avoiding it.

With so many variables to test, even with advanced equipment, it would take about a week. But this was Old Zhang's job; Li Fanyu didn't want to face this tedious process.

After arranging all of this, Anning came to discuss with Li Fanyu about announcing the successful development of the engine.

ZGX888 had extraordinary significance for the national automobile industry, so Anning planned to hold a small-scale press conference in Li Fanyu's name.

He thought for a moment and felt a bit uneasy. A press conference!

If you weren't as eloquent as a bookstore or as fluent as Xiaomi Ray, how could you stand on stage?

So he immediately said, "Walking the world, one should be high-profile in actions and low-profile in demeanor."

Then, he waved his hand like a certain great man: "What's with a small-scale press conference? If we're going to do it, let's make it big. You go out in the name of the laboratory. Then, just casually mention my brilliance and valor."

Anning choked on her tea, spilling it on her chest, creating an unintentional wet clothes scene.

She sadly realized that as she spent more time with Li Fanyu, her composure and indifference were gradually disappearing.

There was no way around it; this guy really deserved a beating!

During the National Day holiday, most reporters were enjoying the rare vacation.

Some went back to their hometowns, shyly meeting their blind date partners. Some were enticed by the prospect of traveling and went to major tourist attractions to see crowds of people. And some, affected by laziness, stayed at home comfortably with their families or spent every night engaged in online battles with their internet friends.

However, on the evening of October 5th, many people received calls from their superiors almost simultaneously.

"Forget about the holiday! Someone has made a big news. Come back immediately!"
