Start with the aviation industry

Chapter 392 The Death of the Gas Turbine
This time, more than 20 people are planned to go!
As senior executives of the Phoenix factory, everyone can clearly remember that only five people attended the last Paris Air Show.

"Mr. Wang, I really want to go to 30 or [-] people!"

Wang Tianfang said affirmatively, "Yes, this time there will be 30 or [-] people. We must keep up with the times and understand the dynamics of the world's aviation industry. We can't build cars behind closed doors at home!"

The faces of several high-level executives were somewhat happy, and some even rubbed their hands excitedly.In the 90s, even the top executives of the Phoenix Factory had few opportunities to go abroad.

"Mr. Wang, who are the main people who are going to visit this air show?"

Obviously, Wang Tianfang had thought about it a long time ago, and said without hesitation, "Mainly the technicians, especially the technicians who perform well at the grassroots level, the number is tentatively set at 20, and the management personnel must be strictly controlled, with a tentative quota of five. "

This is the emphasis on technicians!

Let them go out and have a look to be more effective!

Everyone immediately understood what Wang Tianfang meant. Specifically who could visit the Paris Air Show, Wang Tianfang didn't have to worry about it himself. The most list was sent to him for review and approval.

There are quite a lot of domestic enterprises and units that want to visit this air show, and each unit has at least three or five people, as many as a dozen people, and they have applied to the organizer one after another.

It's just that I didn't think about it. I don't know if there are more people from all over the world who want to visit the air show, there is pressure on the reception, or other reasons, the organizer actually raised the threshold and limited the number of people.

Phoenix Factory originally planned to send 30 to [-] people to visit this air show, but it only got three places.

In the office, Wang Tianfang frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

A senior executive next to him comforted, "Mr. Wang, it doesn't really matter. The big deal is that we will visit the public open day as ordinary people."

The air show is divided into professional days and public days.

The professional day is the highlight, and the people who come to visit are basically people in the industry, as well as some heavyweights, such as some politicians, high-level military officials of some countries, and so on.

If you want to visit the air show, you must visit it during the professional day. If you don’t see anything on the public day, you can only watch one thing.

Wang Tianfang smiled bitterly, "I never thought that the organizer would only give us three places."

The executive said, "The domestic units that want to visit the air show only give two or three places."

Wang Tianfang thought for a while and said, "Leihuo Technology Industry Group is an important exhibitor of this year's air show, let me ask them."

After finishing speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and called Lin Feng, briefly explained the situation, and then said.

"Mr. Lin, this is definitely not possible. For our country, this is a rare and good opportunity. If you miss it, you will have to wait another two years."

Lin Feng said, "President Wang, don't be in a hurry, I'll call you after I find out."

Lin Feng really doesn't know that there is such a thing, and he still limits the number of people who can visit the air show. .

Lin Feng felt a little upset, and immediately contacted the organizer in person, and warned that if he did this, Leihuo Technology Industry Group would not be able to participate in the exhibition.

That won't work!

The organizers are in a hurry!

The products of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group are very advanced, whether it is a turboshaft engine, a turbofan engine, or a helicopter.

As for the "Flying Dragon" fighter plane and the "Fat Girl" large strategic transport plane, that is the existence of the ceiling.

The organizers were very happy to learn that Leihuo Technology and Industry Group had put out so many advanced products to participate in the exhibition, and even planned to use it as a gimmick to promote it.

When Lin Feng said this, the organizer quickly apologized, and promised that all airline companies and units in China can come with as many people as they want, without any restrictions.

After getting the other party's promise, Lin Feng called Wang Tian back, "Mr. Wang, the matter is settled, you can go to as many people as you want."

"That's great!"

Wang Tianfang became happy all of a sudden, he never expected that Lin Feng would solve the problem so quickly.

"Boss Lin, you are still very good and you have a lot of face." Wang Tiandao, "We originally planned to go to more than 20 people, but now it seems that there is no problem at all."

After putting down the phone, Wang Tianfang's expression was very different from just now, and the happy expression on his face could not be hidden at all.

The high-level executive next to him asked tentatively, "Mr. Wang, is the matter settled?"

"It's completely solved." Wang Tianfang admired him very much, "Boss Lin has great energy. The organizer said that we can go with as many people as we want, not only our factory, but also other companies and units in China who want to visit the air show. .”

The news came at once!

People in the domestic aviation industry heard that there was no longer a limit on the number of people, and that it was Lin Feng who came forward to solve this problem. Immediately, everyone was in admiration.

Lin Feng even received several phone calls, and several heads of domestic aviation companies thanked him on the phone.

.........

The time has entered June, and there are still more than ten days before the air show.

The preparations for the exhibition of Leihuo Technology Industry Group are almost ready, and the things that should be shipped to the exhibition site in advance have already begun to be transported.

The exhibitors have also been settled, with a total of more than 200 people. The first batch of people will leave next week, arrive at the air show site in advance, and do some preparatory work in advance.

Thunderfire Aircraft Manufacturing Company.

In the final assembly plant, the second "Fat Girl" is fully finished, and it seems that it has basically been completed.

The two "Flying Dragon" fighter production lines have made all preparations, some parts and materials have begun to arrive, and the training of workers has also been completed.

A total of two production lines!

Everything is ready, and the mass production of the "Flying Dragon" fighters will start tomorrow. At least [-] to [-] "Flying Dragons" will roll off the production line every month.

When the No. 2 assembly plant is put into use, a total of six production lines will start manufacturing, and about [-] "Flying Dragon" fighters will be rolled off the assembly line and delivered every month.

At this time, the No. 2 assembly plant is not far from completion, and the installation of the production line and the debugging of other facilities and equipment have begun in the plant.

Beijing.

The design demonstration meeting of a certain large ship was in progress. As one of the military representatives, Xie Kangquan attended the meeting, closed his eyes and meditated, as if the old god was there.

Of course he was not the protagonist of the meeting, because he was not in charge of ordering ships, but in aviation equipment.In the future, this large ship will be mainly used to load the "Flying Dragon" fighter plane, as well as for its take-off and landing, so Xie Kangquan sat in the meeting room.

The meeting lasted for two full days, and a lot of unified opinions were formed. Of course, there are also differences, which need to be dealt with step by step.

The meeting was temporarily over, Xie Kangquan and several other military representatives walked out of the conference room, and next to him was Lu Xingxian, the military representative in charge of ship development and ordering.

However, Lu Xingxian's expression was a little dignified, as if there was something wrong.

"Old Lu, what's the matter?"

The two are colleagues and have a good relationship. Xie Kangquancai took the initiative to ask. If it's just a general relationship, it's probably not good to ask directly like this.

Lu Xingxian didn't hide anything, and nodded lightly, "I just received a call that Pretty Country has cut off the supply of the LM2500 gas turbines we need, and made it clear that they will no longer sell them to us."

Hearing this, Xie Kangquan's expression became a little more dignified.

Of course, he knows about the LM2500 gas turbine. The military has placed great hopes on the power of the new guided missile destroyer.

The development of this new guided missile destroyer also has a strong historical background.

For a long time, the level of our military industry has been relatively backward. About ten years ago, our country sent people to observe the naval facilities of Western countries. At that time, the aircraft carrier of the beautiful country shocked our delegation. The deep worry and urgency of the lagging military industry.

The time came to the late 80s, when the beautiful country’s navy paid a friendly visit to our navy. The advanced warships of the beautiful country once again caused heated discussions and shocks. The advanced ship electrical system, weaponry and various firepower configurations made our navy officers and soldiers eager I hope that my country can also have a powerful warship as soon as possible. Since then, my country has joined the process of independent research and development and started to establish a naval ship project.

In the future, we will speed up our pace and find ways to develop and build our own new guided missile destroyer, requiring it not only to perform daily sea area inspections and various defensive tasks, but also to become a comprehensive anti-submarine warship and a ship with super air defense capabilities. Boat.

In this context, this new type of guided missile destroyer was born!
But power has always been a conundrum.

As the engine of a warship, when it needs to accelerate, it needs to have enough explosive power to increase the maximum speed in a short time. However, at that time, our navy only had steam turbines. How could we develop a smaller gas turbine to propel the ship forward at full speed? The big problem facing my research team.

Our country has introduced the LM2500 gas turbine from the beautiful country.This is a gas turbine with very advanced technology, which can replace the steam turbine that originally occupies a large area, has limited acceleration capability and very slow response. It can be said that it is the most successful engine introduced in my country.

The LM2500 gas turbine serves as the power for this new guided missile destroyer.

But it never occurred to me that the LM2500 gas turbine has not waited for the heat, and the beautiful country has cut off the continued introduction of the LM2500 gas turbine. So far, we have only received a few finished products of the LM2500 gas turbine, let alone the promised technology. information.

The two were sitting on the sofa in the lounge, smoking while talking about the cut-off of the LM2500 gas turbine with great pressure.

Lu Xingxian said, "The supply cutoff of the LM2500 gas turbine caught us by surprise, and the situation has become very bad. It may be difficult to turn around in the next few years, and it will definitely affect the development process of our new guided missile destroyer!"

Xie Kangquan nodded, fully aware of the seriousness and consequences of this matter.

Lu Xingxian said, "Both our ships 112 and 113 are equipped with LM2500 gas turbines, and the third ship is also under construction. Now it's all good, so we have to stop."

This is a big deal.

Without gas turbines, warships would definitely not be able to be built.

After the two chatted for a long time, Xie Kangquan returned to his office with a heavy face, still thinking about the gas turbine in his mind.

He thought to himself, our aero engines are already in the leading position in the world, but the gas turbines are not good, and there is almost a blank, what should we do in the future.

I don't know if Leihuo Technology Industrial Group has the technical strength to develop gas turbines. If they can develop a gas turbine comparable to the LM2500 gas turbine, that would be great, and all problems will be solved.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help picking up the phone and calling, and the call was connected quickly.

"Boss Lin, are you busy recently?"

After exchanging polite greetings, Xie Kangquan didn't beat around the bush, and briefly explained the cut-off of the LM2500 gas turbine supply, and said very pessimistically, "In this case, the blow to our new guided missile destroyer will be very serious. Yes, it may be difficult to make progress in the next few years."

"Mr. Lin, there are many similarities between gas turbines and aero engines. If Leihuo Technology and Industry Group can develop the world's top aero engines, is it possible to develop world-advanced gas turbines for ships?"

There are many types of gas turbines, and they have many uses. They can be used on airplanes, ships, power generation, and even on tanks and automobiles. However, the current applications are mainly on ships, aircraft carriers, etc. ships and power plants.

The characteristics of a gas turbine can be described in one sentence, just like a martial arts master, with quick response, great strength, and lightness.

The working principle of a gas turbine is similar to that of an aero engine. It mainly inhales air, compresses it, and then enters the combustion chamber to be heated and pressurized again through combustion. At the same time, on the one hand, it expands and on the other hand, it drives the blades to rotate to do work, and the torque of the rotor is output through the main shaft, thereby driving the generator to generate electricity or pushing the ship forward.

LM2500 gas turbine supply cut off!
As expected of a beautiful country, a signed agreement is not as good as a scrap of paper, if you want to cut off the confession, you can cut it off.

To be honest, after hearing this news, Lin Feng felt a little angry.

Seeing that there was no voice from Lin Feng on the phone for a long time, Xie Kang said, "Boss Lin, are you listening?"

Lin Feng was a little distracted just now, and when he heard Xie Kangquan's voice, he immediately said, "I'm listening. In fact, gas turbines are very complicated and unattainable to others, but they are nothing to us."

what!
is this real!
Mr. Lin, how confident are you!

Xie Kangquan was pleasantly surprised at once. It seems that he made the right call. If Leihuo Technology and Industry Group can really develop a world-advanced gas turbine for ships, then the problem will be solved.

There will be no supply cut-offs, bottlenecks, etc., and the abacus that the beautiful country wants to block the research and development of our new guided missile destroyer will also come to naught.

No wonder Xie Kangquan was so pleasantly surprised, because gas turbines are very complicated and difficult to develop.

The working principle of a gas turbine does not sound complicated, but it is not simple to implement. It is a very advanced and complex complete set of power equipment, which integrates numerous high-tech subjects, and is an important symbol of a country's high-tech level and strength.

Originally, Xie Kangquan just made the call with the mentality of giving it a try. He didn't have much hope. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be so sure.

"Mr. Lin, can you really develop a gas turbine comparable to the LM2500?"

Lin Feng said confidently, "Of course, just give us one or two years. It will definitely be developed and mass-produced!"

What is the LM2500 gas turbine, everything is scum in front of the system.

"Great." Xie Kangquan was completely happy, "Mr. Lin, I will contact the relevant personnel immediately and ask them to provide you with all the parameters and performance requirements of the gas turbine you need."

After finishing the call, Lin Feng smiled slightly.

Unexpectedly, Leihuo Technology Industrial Group would enter the field of gas turbines.

It is also possible to enter this field. Lin Feng knows that the next two to 30 years will be the golden period for the development of my country's shipbuilding industry. Various world-class ships will be developed one by one, and many gas turbines will be needed.

Now, the gas turbine is a short board in China, and it is up to Leihuo Technology and Industry Group to solve this short board.

Besides, Xie Kangquan.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately knocked on the door excitedly and entered Lu Xingxian's office. As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong smell of smoke.

"Old Lu, how many cigarettes have you smoked? The whole office is filled with smoke."

While talking, Xie Kangquan opened the window of the office, and glanced at the ashtray on the desk, there were many cigarette butts in it.

The two have been colleagues for many years, and they are very familiar with each other. Xie Kangquan knows that Lu Xingxian likes to sit there and smoke a cigarette whenever he encounters difficult things.

"Old Lu, smoke less, it's not good for your health."

Lu Xingxian smiled helplessly, "I can't help it, I'm under too much pressure, I thought a lot just now, after the supply of LM2500 gas turbines is cut off, there is only one way to go, and that is to try your luck with Lao Maozi and import their gas turbines. "

Of course, Lao Maozi also has a gas turbine, although it is worse than the LM2500 gas turbine, but at least it can be used.

In this situation, don't dare to have too high requirements, as long as it can be used, the performance is a little bit worse, it's better than nothing.

Xie Kangquan said: "Old Lu, we still have a way to go."

"Oh." Lu Xingxian's eyes lit up slightly, "Old Xie, don't be tricky, tell me about the other way."

Xie Kang said, "We can research and develop independently."

Lu Xingxian shook his head, "It's almost impossible. The gas turbine is too complicated and the technical content is too high. It's no less than an advanced aero engine. We don't have the technical foundation to develop and design gas turbines in our country."

Another point he didn't say is that even if the country develops it itself, the whole process is very long. Without five or eight years, there will be no results at all, and our new guided missile destroyer can't wait for so long.

Xie Kangquan smiled easily, and reminded, "Gas turbines are really complicated, but there is a company in our country that may be able to develop the naval gas turbines we need within one or two years."

what!
Lu Xingxian looked at Xie Kangquan in surprise!
He thought in his mind, is there such a company in our country, why don't I know!

[-] words here, everyone, here is a monthly pass!
