Start with the aviation industry

Chapter 395 Undercurrent before the air show
After reading the color picture of this gas turbine, listening to Lin Feng's detailed introduction, and now looking through the introduction materials, everyone is extremely satisfied with this gas turbine and is full of expectations.

When I came here last time, no matter whether it was Lu Xingxian or Yan Minghui, they were dubious, but this time they were convinced.

Lu Xingxian even proposed, "Boss Lin, can we take a look at the specific design of this gas turbine?"

Lin Feng readily agreed, "Okay, then we will go there now, the distance is not far, and we will be there in no time."

A group of more than a dozen of you left the Phoenix Building, and arrived at Leihuo Aviation Engine Design Center not long after, saw some design drawings, and also saw a large number of designers drawing on the computer.

It was the first time for Lu Xingxian and the others to come here, and they said in surprise, "Boss Lin, this design center is very large, at least there are more than 2000 people."

With the development and growth of these years, the aero-engine design center has grown from two to 300 people at the beginning to several hundred people, then broke through 1000 people, and now has more than 2000 people.

Lin Feng said, "There are more than 2000 designers alone, plus support and management personnel, the total number exceeds 600. It is the second largest design center in our company."

Where is the largest design center?

In the south of the provincial capital.

Leihuo Aircraft Design Center has a larger scale, with more than 3000 professional designers, and almost [-] including management and support staff.

Obviously, Xie Kangquan is quite familiar with this place, and introduced Lin Feng to everyone, "This is a world-class professional aero-engine design and development center. The world's best turboshaft engines and the best military turbofan engines are all designed here. developed."

The facilities here are complete, not only there are more than 2000 people, but also various laboratories and design verification centers, of course, there are also exhibition halls.

Everyone had limited time, so they didn't visit these things. They went directly to each design room to see the design of the gas turbine, and even the general design drawing of the gas turbine, as well as some key and important drawings.

Whether it is Lu Xingxian or Yan Minghui, they are all technical experts and not laymen in the field of gas turbines. Seeing these blueprints, they are extremely pleasantly surprised.

"Oh my god, the master plan is already out!"

"Mr. Lin, your speed is not so fast. These dozen or so sheets are all design drawings of important and key components!"

After some surprises, Lu Xingxian asked hopefully, "Boss Lin, your speed scares me, tell me how long it will take to manufacture the first gas turbine."

Lin Feng once said that the fastest is one year, and the slowest is two years.

At the beginning, he didn't believe it at all. He thought that it would be good to get the first gas turbine out in three to five years. Now it seems that the original idea was completely wrong. How long have so many design drawings been drawn? Out.

Maybe one or two years will be a little conservative, and it may not take so long.

In the past, Lu Xingxian really didn't believe it. In one or two years, a more advanced naval gas turbine could be produced.

Now he really believed it!
Lin Feng smiled slightly, "Didn't I say it, the slowest time is two years, and the fastest time is one year."

Lu Xingwen pleaded earnestly, "Mr. Lin, it would be better if the speed could be faster. Our No. 25000 ship has already been built in the dock, but due to the impact of the LM[-] gas turbine, it has been short of gas turbines."

Seeing this, Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Then let's do it as soon as possible to ensure that the first gas turbine will be delivered in one year."

A year's time!

It only takes a year at most!

Lu Xingxian, Yan Minghui and others were very excited. The aggrieved point that the LM25000 gas turbine was cut off was completely gone, and there was only a sense of pride in their hearts!
Want to get stuck in our necks, no way!

In just one year, we will have a gas turbine that is more advanced than the LM25000. When our gas turbine is manufactured, you will be disgusted if you beg us to buy it.

After the visit, everyone left happily, with a complete understanding in their hearts. Not only did they have a comprehensive understanding of this gas turbine, but they also knew that the first gas turbine could be manufactured within one year.

The Paris Air Show is getting closer and closer.

The second batch of more than [-] people from Leihuo Technology Industrial Group is also preparing to set off. He Hua personally leads the team. The scale is large. There are not only many backbone technicians, but also some middle and high-level personnel of the company.

As for the first batch of nearly [-] people, they had set off as early as last week and had arrived at the air show site for several days.

They went there ahead of time and were mainly responsible for the layout of the exhibition area, communication and coordination with the organizer, some information about the airshow, and deployment of other things.

Lin Feng did not intend to participate in the Paris Air Show. Although the organizer had invited him twice in a row and his attitude was very sincere, but for safety reasons, let it go.

The last World Aviation Industry Summit Forum made some people think differently. Lin Feng was almost arrested, but this time he will not go if he is beaten to death. Have any unfavorable thoughts about Lin Feng.

Because he didn't have to go to the air show, Lin Feng's main energy was on the development of the company, not only paying attention to the mass production of "Flying Dragon" fighter jets, but also the situation of "Fat Girl".

The second large-scale strategic transport aircraft has been assembled and rolled off the assembly line. After passing the acceptance inspection, it has already flown out of Leihuo Aircraft Manufacturing Company and started a series of field test flight verifications.

As for the first large strategic transport aircraft, its current main task has changed from field test flight to participating in this Paris Air Show, and it plans to fly directly to the air show site in two days.

This is the advantage of the long range. You don’t need to stop to refuel midway, and you can fly to the air show airport more than 1 kilometers away after taking off from China.

Today, Lin Feng went to Leihuo Aviation Engine Design Center to guide everyone on the design of this gas turbine, and also gave a class to some key designers to explain certain designs in detail.

After I came back, I took a short rest, and now I am sitting in front of my computer, seriously drawing some design drawings of this gas turbine.

The more design drawings of key and important parts drawn by Lin Feng himself, the less detours everyone will take in the design process of this gas turbine, and the less difficult the design process will be.

In fact, its core engine is the LH165 turbofan engine, and the design workload is less than half, because the core engine part basically does not need to be designed, and the design drawings of the LH165 turbofan engine are directly used.

In future production and manufacturing, many parts of the core engine do not need to be specially manufactured, and the parts of the LH165 turbofan engine can be used directly.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

There was a knock on the door of the office, and He Hua pushed the door open and came in. He would be leaving in two or three days. Before he left, he came over again to report on his work.

"Boss, our departure time has been officially set. We will take off on time at [-]:[-] am the day after tomorrow, and fly directly to Paris. According to your instructions, we will use a chartered flight. There are more than [-] people from the Phoenix Factory with us."

There are more than 100 people from Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, plus more than [-] people from Phoenix Factory, the charter flight is more convenient. Because it is a charter flight, they can fly directly from the provincial capital airport to Paris without going to the Imperial Capital Airport for a transit.

Lin Feng nodded lightly, and asked, "The charter flight has already been booked, which airline's plane and what model."

He Hua didn't expect the boss to ask so carefully, he was slightly taken aback and immediately replied, "China Southern Airlines, the aircraft model is Boeing 737."

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "There is no need to change the airline. China Southern Airlines is very good, but the plane must be changed. No Boeing 737, it is best to change to an Airbus plane."

He Hua didn't understand why he wanted to change, but when the boss said so, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll contact the airline right away."

We set off only the day after tomorrow. If we have time, we can change planes in time.

After the report, He Hua also revealed a situation, "Boss, the F-16 fighter jets of the beautiful country also participated in this air show, and sent six F-16s in one go. It is said that all of them have been improved and upgraded. The F-16C model, more advanced and more powerful than before."

Lin Feng smiled coldly.

It seems that this is going to cause trouble. It is very obvious that the opponent is coming for his "Flying Dragon" fighter.

Leihuo Technology and Industry Group sent a total of 4 "Flying Dragon" fighters to participate in the exhibition, and the beautiful country sent six of the latest F-16C.

More than that.

He Hua continued, "We have some news that it is possible that the F-16 fighter jets will be sold at a reduced price in the international market. We don't know how much the price will be reduced."

This is really something to do!
The air show has not yet started, and the undercurrent has already begun to surge.

Lin Feng clearly remembered that before he crossed, the relatively high-end domestic car brake discs were all imported, and the price was very expensive, reaching 2000 yuan a piece.

There is a company in China that has concentrated a lot of manpower and material resources. After years of technical research, it finally succeeded and developed a car brake disc that is comparable to imported ones.

And guess what.

The foreign companies united together to reduce the price of the brake discs from [-] to [-]. The domestic company closed down in the end. Take a firm grip.

This time, the beautiful country is also planning to play like this, not only upgrading the F-16 fighter jets, but also selling them at reduced prices.

Lin Feng's face became a bit more cold, and even a blind person could tell that this was Chi Guoguo's "Flying Dragon" fighter jet aimed at Leihuo Technology Industrial Group and us.

He Hua continued to report, "Boss, in addition to the F-16 fighter jet, the C-17 Globemaster large-scale strategic transport aircraft of the beautiful country will also appear at the Paris Air Show for the first time, and will also perform flight demonstrations and loading displays. "

This is going to make trouble again!

The target was Leihuo Technology Industrial Group!

Because Leihuo Technology and Industry Group sent a "Fat Girl" large-scale strategic transport aircraft to participate in the exhibition, Beautiful Country sent their C-17 Globemaster to participate in the exhibition. The purpose is self-evident, just to suppress our "Fat Girl" go down.

It's just that they don't know enough about "Fat Girl" and think that their C-17 Globemaster transport plane is better than "Fat Girl".

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. He, since the C-17 Globemaster is going to perform flight demonstrations and loading demonstrations, our 'Fat Girl' large strategic transport aircraft will also do the same."

He Hua said, "It's not a big problem. I'll contact the organizer later."

After chatting for a while, and watching He Hua leave his office, Lin Feng thought in his heart that the air show has not started yet, and under the impetus of certain forces and countries, the undercurrent has already begun to surge.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Although Lin Feng didn't go to the air show in person, at most he only commanded by remote control, but he didn't worry much, and he was confident that all these conspiracies and tricks would be broken.

Phoenix factory.

A total of [-] people went to visit this air show. Originally, they wanted to order air tickets, but they heard that more than [-] people from Leihuo Technology Industry Group chartered a plane to go there, and [-] more people could sit down, so they and Leihuo The same chartered plane of the Technology Industry Group.

We are leaving tomorrow, and Wang Tianfang organized another meeting for everyone to explain everything, including things that need to be paid attention to when abroad.

Since you are going abroad, of course you have to dress decently, instead of gray and blue. Therefore, you are required to wear white shirts, ties, trousers, and your shoes must be polished to shine.

Many people are practicing their tie for the first time. After tying it, they look in the mirror again and again, and if they feel that it is not suitable, they untie it and tie it again.

"I'm so happy, I'm going to go with Leihuo Technology and Industry Group tomorrow!"

"It's still a chartered flight. I've never taken a chartered flight in my life!"

"Everything has been arranged. Leihuo Technology Industry Group has directly booked a five-star hotel. We will follow suit and stay in this big hotel!"

"."

Everyone was extremely happy, even more happy than during the New Year and holidays. This is going abroad. In the 90s, it was definitely something to be proud of.

Thunderfire Aircraft Manufacturing Company Airport.

After a series of test flight verifications outside, this large strategic transport aircraft flew back, landed on the runway, taxied, and finally stopped at the designated location on the apron.

The tail hatch was opened, and many technicians and quality personnel conducted a detailed inspection of the aircraft, and then began to fill up the fuel, all at once.

In the afternoon, the exhibited engines were also loaded into the cargo hold, and these aero engines were transported by this aircraft, so there was no need to look for other aircraft to undertake this transportation task.

After everything was installed, the plane took off and flew towards the distance, flying higher and higher, farther and farther, and finally disappeared in everyone's sight.

The next day, early in the morning.

At the entrance of the Phoenix Building, several cars and two luxury buses were ready to leave. He Hua held Lin Feng's hand tightly, "Boss, let's go then."

Lin Feng said, "Old He, I'll leave it to you to participate in this exhibition. If there is any situation, I will contact you by phone."

"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely not report to you often about our participation in the exhibition."

Everyone got on the car one after another, and the convoy started to leave, heading towards the provincial capital airport, where the people from Phoenix Factory had already arrived, and the two groups joined together and boarded the plane of China Southern Airlines.

This is a large plane that can carry more than 200 people, not the previous Boeing 737. So far, He Hua has no idea why the boss is so disgusted with flying on the 737, but he has never asked why.

Shortly after boarding, the plane took off, and after more than ten hours of flight, it arrived at Paris Airport at [-] noon local time.

Because Leihuo Technology Industrial Group has an office in Europe, and it was established in Paris, the first batch of nearly a hundred people arrived a week ago, and everything was properly arranged, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

As soon as everyone got out of the airport, they saw the convoy coming to welcome them. There were a total of three luxury buses and several high-end commercial vehicles.

On the way to the hotel, looking at everything outside the window through the glass, many people were very excited. It was the first time for them to go abroad and see the colorful world outside.

Developed capitalist countries have a completely different exotic style. The atmosphere of each bus is very warm. When seeing some beautiful buildings or high-rise buildings, everyone will look at them curiously and comment on them.

After more than an hour, the convoy arrived at the hotel where they stayed. This is a well-known five-star hotel in the local area, but it has almost been taken over by Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

After arriving, the room is allocated, basically one room per person.

A five-star room is certainly good, much better than domestic guest houses and hostels.

After seeing the price of the room, many people were speechless, especially the people from Phoenix Factory. One night's stay was higher than their monthly salary.

"This room is not ordinary expensive!"

"Why one room for one person? It's a bit wasteful. In fact, two people can live in one room."

Some insiders said, "This is a foreign country. We have to do as the Romans do. If a man and a woman live in the same room, there is no problem. If there are two men and the latter two women, people will think it is abnormal."

How could it be like this!

No wonder there is only one room for one person.

Expensive is a bit more expensive, but the environment of the room is really good, and I don't feel bad about the expensive room when I am happy.

After checking into the hotel, we all ate at the hotel together. We ate western food in the form of a buffet. The buffet in a five-star hotel is not bad, at least it is difficult to eat such a big meal in China.

I heard that you can eat whatever you want. Many people eat with their stomachs open. Steak, barbecue, grilled fish, etc. are free to eat. As for burgers, salads, etc., fewer people eat.

The air show officially opened the day after tomorrow. According to the plan, this afternoon was free for activities, but some people really ate too much, and after sitting for more than ten hours on the plane, they simply slept in the hotel to rest.

In their words, such an expensive room should not be wasted, and we must sleep for a while.

Another [-] words have been updated today. Can you vote for a monthly ticket to support it? I would be very grateful!
