Chapter 183 Transport Helicopter

Leihuo Technology Industrial Group has a security department with quite a few members, dozens of people, almost all veterans.

In addition to the design center, the factory area under construction is a security-heavy area. There are usually six people at the gate of this big factory during the day, and four people are usually on guard at night.

"Captain, who was that person just now, why did you open the door without even asking.

"Xiao Zhang, remember, that's Mr. Lin, don't ask anything when you see him coming, just open the door."

what!
That is Boss Lin!
The security guard was stunned, and after realizing it, he looked inside the factory area. At this time, Lin Feng had already driven into the factory area.

Drive along the two-way, six-lane straight avenue in the factory area, and drive inward until you reach the front of No. 1 mechanical processing factory building.

Lin Feng's eyes lit up slightly!
The factory building has been capped, and it seems that the construction workers should be doing the water, electricity, decoration and other work in the factory building.

Looking inside through the gate of the factory building, there are many large packing boxes in the spacious and empty factory building, some of which are almost the size of a standard container.

"Boss, you are here."

Unexpectedly, Wang Yalong and other people happened to be in the factory building, and they all took the initiative to greet Lin Feng, including Qin Jianguo, general manager of Leihuo Aviation Development Company, Yang Haijun, deputy general manager of production, and Huang Hao, deputy general manager of technology.

Aviation Development Company is a subsidiary of Leihuo Industrial Group, and will be mainly responsible for the production and manufacture of LH1500 turboshaft engines in the future.

Qin Jianguo, Yang Haijun, and Huang Hao are all elite talents. They were recruited by the human resources department of the group with high salaries. They not only have a university degree, but also have one to 20 years of management experience.

The design drawings of this turboshaft engine are about to be completed. After the National Day, the production and manufacturing of various parts of the verification machine will start soon. The Leihuo Aviation Development Company is also being established. The basic framework has been preliminarily set up, and the management team has basically been in place.

Lin Feng looked at the large wooden packing boxes one by one, and asked, "Some of the machine tools have arrived."

Qin Jianguo quickly replied, "Boss, a total of 31 machine tools have arrived at our factory, and this is a part of them. Two of the machine tools that have arrived are imported."

Lin Feng also saw that there were two large packing boxes with English on them. They were two imported three-coordinate CNC machining centers imported from Western countries through an agent.

Everyone accompanied Lin Feng to look around the factory area, reporting the construction progress here from time to time.

After looking around for a long time, Lin Feng was very relieved. Qin Jianguo, Yang Haijun, Huang Hao and others had outstanding abilities, so he was much more relaxed.

When he was about to leave, Lin Feng looked at the two huge mechanical processing plants with a length of 120 meters, a width of 70 meters, and an area of ​​8400 square meters. Enter the installation and commissioning stage of the equipment.

There are four large workshops in the first phase of the project. The two mechanical processing workshops are exactly the same size, both of which are 8400 square meters. The area of ​​the aero-engine assembly workshop is the largest, and the construction work is also the largest. It has not yet been fully capped.

When he left, Lin Feng thought in his heart that after the first phase of the project was completed, the manufacturing of this turboshaft engine would basically have no major problems.

The hot processing can be given to Fenghuang factory first, such as precision casting, forging, hot surface treatment of some parts, etc.

The second phase of the project will mainly build three thermal processing plants, namely precision casting plant, forging plant, and heat meter plant.

However, Lin Feng didn't have such money for the time being, so he didn't dare to take too big a step.

Of course, I have also considered asking the state for money, but at present, even the design drawings have not been drawn, and the possibility of getting money is very small. At least I have to wait for the verification machine to complete the test run.

A few days later.

Zhong Zimin sent someone from the military to send over the materials, and the military put forward a series of requirements for this future transport helicopter.

First of all, it must be an all-weather, multi-purpose, general-purpose transport helicopter that can perform multiple tasks.

The military lists a series of parameter requirements, including speed, range, payload and so on.

In addition to these, it also comes with several 105mm grenades, information on several light military off-road vehicles, basic parameters, etc.

Obviously, in addition to transporting armed personnel and supplies, this helicopter must also be able to lift 105 howitzers and military off-road vehicles.

After reading this information, the design of this transport helicopter became clearer in Lin Feng's mind. After contemplating for a while, he picked up a blank paper and began to write with a pen.

Maximum total take-off mass: 14500KG
Empty weight: 6000KG
Cruising speed: 320km/h
Maximum flight speed: 450km/h
Practical ceiling: 6000m

The belly sling hook can lift 6000 kg of cargo, such as howitzers, military vehicles and so on.

Power system: Two LH1500 turboshaft engines with an output power of 3052 kilowatts, auxiliary power unit.

Weapon system: Two 12.7mm heavy machine guns.

Avionics system: self-defense countermeasure system, radar warning receiver, chaff-infrared jammer dispenser, global navigation system.

A piece of A4 blank paper, Lin Feng wrote it all.

This is the transport helicopter in his mind, which completely surpasses the American Black Hawk helicopter, whether it is carrying capacity, range, weather adaptability, battlefield survivability, or safety performance.

After finishing writing, Lin Feng read it with satisfaction, but he didn't let the system design right away, but put this blank paper in the drawer.

Lin Feng still needs to think about it again, and then make minor modifications and improvements, and let the system be designed according to these parameters and technical requirements when he thinks that it is almost done.

Produced by the system, it must be a boutique!
Lin Feng has no doubts at all. The transport helicopter designed by the system must be of world-class level, and it will definitely surpass the American Black Hawk helicopter in an all-round way.

A helicopter design institute.

Zhao Zhiming took a pen and neatly wrote the resignation report.

Two days ago, Wang Tianfang called him to persuade him to resign and join Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, but he didn't immediately agree.

In the early 90s, it took a lot of courage to resign from public office and join a private company. It was normal for Zhao Zhiming not to agree.

After two days of thinking, he felt that his alumnus was right. Instead of staying here, it is better to join Leihuo Technology Industrial Group and do a good job.

He had heard of Leihuo Technology Industry Group, and knew that this company was designing and developing a turboshaft engine with a power level of 1500 kilowatts. He heard that the overall performance was very good.

If he was only developing turboshaft engines, he would not consider the past, because he is better at designing helicopters. He once participated in the design of Wu Zhiba, and was even the backbone in the design of Wu Zhijiu.

"Old buddy, the design and development of this turboshaft engine of Leihuo Technology Industry Group is progressing very fast, and it is only a matter of time before it is successfully manufactured. In addition, Leihuo Technology Industry Group is planning to design a general-purpose transport helicopter. This helicopter will be benchmarked against world-class engines. , and may even surpass world class.
These words of Wang Tianfang are still in my ears.

In the end, Zhao Zhiming finally made up his mind to join Leihuo Technology Industrial Group and participate in the design and development of this helicopter.

He also has ideals and pursuits, but reality often differs from his ideals. He is already in his [-]s. Apart from being awarded a senior professional title and joining the expert group in the institute, the position of deputy director has never been with him. .

Zhao Zhiming thought in his heart, people who are already in their [-]s and are about to turn [-], can't be so anonymous, can't go on like this.

He was neatly writing his resignation report when the door of the office was pushed open, and a colleague of his came in.

The other party was also in his forties, had the same senior professional title, and was also a member of the expert team in the institute.

The point is that the relationship between the two is very good, almost like iron buddies.

"Old Zhao, are you really planning to resign and go to Leihuo Technology Industry Group?"

Zhao Zhiming put down the pen in his hand, and said with a straight face, "I've already thought it through. Joining Leihuo Technology Industrial Group and doing a career there will not be in vain."

"Old Zhao, I really admire your courage. As a good friend, I still want to persuade you. Here is an iron rice bowl. Leihuo Technology Industrial Group is a private enterprise. If it goes bankrupt, what will happen to you for the rest of your life?"

Zhao Zhiming smiled, "I don't think it will go bankrupt, and even if it does, I don't regret it."

The idea is made!

The other party didn't say anything more. He knew Zhao Zhiming very well and knew that his friend had a firm character. Now that he had made a decision, he would definitely not change it easily.

He even said jokingly, "Old Zhao, you go there first, and I will go to you after I stand firm."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhiming laughed, thinking it was a joke.

Just now, Lin Feng personally read several design drawings, and took a pen to tick a few ticks on the list of drawing numbers.

There are more than 200 design drawings in total, all of which are more important and critical for this turboshaft engine. Lin Feng finally read them all.

This also means that all the slightly important design drawings of this engine have been drawn, and the rest are some general design drawings of relatively unimportant parts.

Sitting on his office chair, Lin Feng thought to himself, it seems that the design speed is faster than I expected. It should not be until the National Day, and all the design work may be completed in early September.

Parts preparation for the first demonstrator is about to start
Lin Feng picked up the phone, "Yalong, come here."

Wang Yalong came over soon, "Boss, what's the matter?"

Lin Feng said, "Judging from the current design progress, we will complete the drawing of all design drawings for this turboshaft engine around the beginning of September, and it is time to start the preparation of the first verification machine."

"Yalong, Qin Jianguo and the others will hand over the specific material preparation work. You can check the overall process. In addition, prepare materials for at least 10 engines."

Prepare at least 10 engines at once.

Wang Yalong reminded, "Boss, is it a bit too much to prepare 10 sets at once, in case there is a design change?"

Lin Feng said confidently, "There will be no risk, at least there will be no major design changes in the next two or three years."

Only Lin Feng knew very well that the design was basically finalized because the engine was designed systematically.

There will be some improvements and modifications in the future, such as increasing the output power, but this is at least a few years away. At present, the output power of 1526 kW is enough.

That being the case, prepare 10 sets.

Then, Lin Feng ordered, "A lot of design drawings have been drawn. For those parts that already have design drawings, Leihuo Aviation Development Co., Ltd. will start the preparation of the process regulations for each part."

It is estimated that Lin Feng is the only one in the entire aviation industry who dares to do this. The design drawings are not all completed, so he dares to start preparing materials and start the compilation of process regulations.

"In addition, all the process regulations of important and key parts must be sent to me for review."

why?

It's very simple, Lin Feng has a complete set of ready-made process materials in his mind, whether it is important key parts or general parts.

This is the process specification produced by the system.

With so many parts in an engine, Lin Feng's energy alone is limited, and it is impossible to go through the manufacturing process regulations of each part in person, but the manufacturing process regulations of some important and key parts can be checked by himself.

As for those general parts, the difficulty of processing is relatively low, and the structure is relatively simple. Ordinary craft technicians should be able to compile them. Even if there is a discrepancy with the system's process regulations, the problem is not big.

As long as the key parts are grasped, the manufacturing quality of this turboshaft engine should not be bad.

"Boss, I will go to Hangfa Company in person and explain these things to Qin Jianguo and the others."

"Well, you go."

It didn't take long for Wang Yalong to issue an instruction to Leihuo Aviation Development Co., Ltd. to start the material preparation work, the quantity is 10, and he also asked to start the preparation of process regulations. All parts that have completed the design can start to prepare process regulations.

After the material preparation work, when the design work is fully completed, the preparation of the process specification should be almost the same.

Although there are not many skilled workers and auxiliary workers in Hangfa Company, the framework of the management team has been basically established, and the technical team has also issued a scale. There are already [-] to [-] process technicians.

Of course, forty or fifty is far from enough. Under normal circumstances, there should be at least three or five hundred technicians. But with these dozens of technicians, the preparation of process regulations can be carried out. With the continuous addition of technicians, The compilation work will gradually speed up, because there are more people and more power.

All the work is proceeding in an orderly manner, and it is progressing very smoothly. What Lin Feng hopes most are two things. One is to complete the design of this turboshaft engine earlier, and the other is to complete the construction of the factory area as soon as possible.

The human resources department has been constantly recruiting various talents, and the number of employees of Leihuo Technology Co., Ltd. is also increasing every month, and the growth rate is relatively fast. So many people need a place to work.

Fortunately, I rented a three-story building as a design building, and the Phoenix City gave me another office building, which is okay for now, but it will definitely not be enough in a few months.

in the office.

Lin Feng received a call from Wang Tianfang just now, saying that his alumnus had resigned and would come over in two days, and he would call Lin Feng when he arrived.

After answering the call, Lin Feng thought in his heart, it's great to finally have another competent general join in.

Really only two days.

Just now when Lin Feng came back from Hangfa Company, he took a look at the preparation of everyone's process regulations. By the way, he also instructed how to process several important parts and how to prepare the process regulations.

"Boss Lin, Zhao Mingzhi has arrived, I'll bring him along."

"President Wang, then I'll wait for you in the office."

About half an hour later, Wang Tianfang arrived with a middle-aged man. As soon as he entered, Wang Tianfang introduced, "Old Zhao, this is Mr. Lin of Leihuo Technology Industry Group."

Zhao Zhiming took two steps forward, with a good posture and respectful, "Mr. Lin, hello, I'm Zhao Mingzhi."

"Hi, come in and sit down."

At Lin Feng's invitation, Wang Tianfang and Zhao Mingzhi came in together and sat down on the sofa.

Lin Feng said, "Expert Zhao, you are welcome to join Leihuo Technology Industrial Group. I think you will be proud of your decision today after a few years."

After chatting for a few minutes, Lin Feng first introduced the LH1500 turboshaft engine in more detail, and also actively mentioned this transport helicopter that will be designed and developed soon.

"Moons', you are an expert in helicopter design. I have also thought about this helicopter in the future. Here are some of the main parameters I listed, as well as the information sent by the military. You can take a look at it. , and then make a first draft of the design and technical specification of this helicopter."

Zhao Mingzhi took these things with both hands, he was very clear that this was a test for him by the boss.

The quality of this design technical specification can reflect Zhao Mingzhi's professional technical level.

"Boss, don't worry, I will finish the first draft as soon as possible and show it to you."

"Okay, let's report to the Human Resources Department first."

Zhao Mingzhi took these things and left. He went to report first, and Wang Tianfang also got up and said, "Boss Lin, I've already sent you over, so I'll go first too."

Lin Feng sent Wang Tian to the door, and then came back to sit on the office chair, thinking in his heart, I hope Zhao Mingzhi is good at professional skills, if he is really a good talent, he can be the model chief engineer of this helicopter.

After thinking about these things, Lin Feng turned on the radio, ready to listen to the news.

Lin Feng has now developed a habit of listening to the news or reading newspapers in his spare time at work.

After listening to a few pieces of news, suddenly, there was a piece of news that deeply attracted Lin Feng's attention, and his face became a little restless.

Even, Lin Feng patted himself on the head lightly, and laughed at himself, how could I almost forget such an important matter to the back of my mind.
