Chapter 414 Airbus Application to Join
He couldn't imagine what kind of engine it was, which might be even better than the LH165 engine.

"President, as far as we know, Leihuo Technology Industry Group is not developing a traditional fuel-powered aero-engine!"

Howard was slightly taken aback!
At the same time, there was a bad feeling in my heart.

"God, what the hell is Leihuo Technology Industry Group doing? Don't make any big moves. We can't handle this situation at all." Howard prayed in his heart.

McVay's current situation is really bad, with poor orders and tight finances. The LH165 turbofan engine with high hopes cannot be manufactured in a short period of time, and the F-16 fighter has even failed to win an international order.

Sometimes the more you don't want to be like this, it just happens to be like this.

The subordinate reported, "According to what we have so far, the engine currently being developed by Leihuo Technology Industry Group is a hydrogen engine."

what!
Hydrogen engine!
Howard was slightly startled, and wondered in his heart, could it be an engine powered by burning hydrogen, but his sixth sense told him that it might not be that simple.

His face darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Go on, I want to know the specifics of this engine."

The subordinate continued to report, "So far, we have relatively limited information, but various circumstances indicate that this should not be a hydrogen-burning engine. More specific information needs to be investigated in depth to find out."

Howard said eagerly, "Immediately use all channels and resources to conduct in-depth investigation and understanding. I want to know the situation of this engine as soon as possible."

"Okay, Your Excellency President!"

The subordinate left in a hurry, and Howard's anxiety became more and more intense. He even thought in his heart, Leihuo Technology and Industrial Group must not make any bombs!

After sitting on the office chair and thinking about it, he still picked up the phone and called Bill Dawson first, then hurried to Bill Dawson's manor.

In the big manor.

Many people sat in the huge reception hall very quickly, some of them came in a hurry, and Howard was sitting impressively.

Some of these people are hawkish politicians in the beautiful country, some are important members of the World Aviation Industry Alliance, or are senior executives of some giant aviation companies in the beautiful country.

The atmosphere is a little dignified.

Bill Dawson's tone was a bit cold, "Everyone, we have received very bad news. Leihuo Technology Industrial Group is developing a hydrogen energy engine, and it has already entered the trial production stage."

There was a slight commotion in the reception hall.

Some people turned their heads and chatted with the people next to them in low voices, and there was a buzzing sound.

"God, this is really bad news!"

"I don't know what kind of hydrogen engine it is!"

"We need to grasp the specific situation of this hydrogen engine!"

"."

Bill Dawson motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then continued, "According to the information we have, this should not be a hydrogen engine that burns hydrogen for energy, but we guess that it may be a hydrogen engine that uses controllable nuclear fusion technology. "

what!
With a "boom", the entire reception hall exploded, and no one could calm down. This is too shocking, controllable nuclear fusion technology!

"Your Excellency Bill, this possibility should not be great!"

"Yes, yes, controlled nuclear fusion technology is not available now, maybe it will be possible in another 100 or [-] years!"

"I don't believe that this is a hydrogen engine using controllable nuclear fusion technology. Maybe it's just the Leihuo Technology Industrial Group's intention, maybe it's actually a hydrogen-burning engine!"

"."

No one can calm down, and no one wants to believe it. They deeply know that if the hydrogen engine with controllable nuclear fusion is really used, the whole sky will collapse, and the entire aviation industry will quickly and comprehensively reshuffle.

Bill Dawson's expression was very solemn, and he didn't want to believe it was true, so he said slowly, "What kind of engine is it, we will concentrate all our efforts on in-depth understanding and investigation, and let us know as soon as we have the results. Everyone."

Now, they dream of figuring out what kind of engine this is. They hope that it is not a hydrogen engine with controlled nuclear fusion, but an engine that burns hydrogen.

They are not the only ones who have learned about these situations. The entire aviation industry in the world has more or less known some news.

Such as Airbus.

They have always remained neutral and have not joined the World Aviation Industry Alliance established by Bill Dawson and others for the time being, nor have they joined the China Aviation Industry Association established under the leadership of Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

in the conference room.

A large group of their high-level executives are having a meeting. After discussing several important issues, Airbus President Joseph Allen said, "I heard that Leihuo Technology Industry Group is developing a new engine. Have you heard the news?"

Immediately, a high-level person said, "I have heard some news about these aspects. I heard that this is a hydrogen engine."

"I've also heard that, and it is said that this engine has entered the trial production stage."

"."

Several high-level officials said that they had obtained some information, but more people were at a loss and did not know these things for the time being.

Joseph Allen said, "Yes, this is a hydrogen engine, and it may still be a hydrogen engine using controlled nuclear fusion!"

The originally relatively quiet conference room immediately burst into buzzing discussions. Obviously, it was like a boulder thrown into the calm water.

"Oh God, it's unbelievable!"

"If it is really a hydrogen engine using controllable nuclear fusion, it would be too scary!"

"How could Leihuo Technology and Industry Group develop such an engine!"

"."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Joseph Allen didn't say anything. He thought this reaction was very normal. When he heard the news, he was equally shocked.

After a few minutes, he felt that it was almost done. Joseph Allen motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Whether it is true or not, I suggest sending someone to Leihuo Technology Industrial Group to visit first."

"I approve of this!"

"I also feel that it is absolutely necessary to send someone to visit!"

"If it is really an engine that uses controllable nuclear fusion, then we must buy this engine!"

"."

It was almost unanimously approved, so Joseph Allen personally selected a vice president, and he led the team to Leihuo Technology Industrial Group.

Leihuo Technology Building.

Lin Feng read and completed dozens of design drawings of the hydrogen energy engine. Now, hundreds of design drawings are drawn every day, ranging from more than 100 to as many as two or three hundred. The design of the hydrogen energy engine enters the Finishing stage.

Such a design speed is inseparable from Lin Feng's guidance and the hundreds of design drawings of important and key parts that he printed out by himself. The most difficult and most technical part does not need to be designed by everyone, and the overall design progress is of course fast.

After reading these design drawings, Lin Feng put them aside. Today, a helicopter will come to take these design drawings away and bring new design drawings.

Basically, helicopters come over every day, not only bringing new design drawings, but sometimes a few design supervisors, design backbones, etc., and Lin Feng will personally talk to them about some problems on the drawings.

The hydrogen engine has entered the final stage of design, and some parts have been manufactured and put into storage. The entire development process is much faster than Lin Feng predicted.

It is now late September, and it will enter October in a few days. Lin Feng estimated in his mind that the design can be completed in October, and the final assembly of the first hydrogen engine should be completed in November. If all goes well, the first hydrogen engine will also be completed. Will be manufactured in November.

While thinking about these things, Ding Haixia knocked on the door and came in, reporting, "Boss, we have received a fax from Airbus. One of their vice presidents personally leads the team and wants to come and visit."

Lin Feng took the fax and looked at it. He felt like a mirror in his heart. Of course he knew the purpose of the other party's visit at this time.

"It seems that the other party has obtained some information, knowing that we are developing a hydrogen engine using controllable nuclear fusion technology. Since the other party wants to come to visit, we welcome you. Send them a reply fax immediately."

Ding Haixia said, "Okay, I'll reply right away."

After watching her leave his office, Lin Feng thought in his heart that Airbus is the world's aviation industry giant and has always maintained neutrality. With their visit this time, they will soon join the China Aviation Industry Alliance.

The efficiency of Airbus was very high. Two days later, led by their vice president Holt Cole, a group of seven men and women arrived at Leihuo Technology Building.

When I got out of the car and saw this skyscraper, I was somewhat moved. It is indeed the tallest building in the world. It is so beautiful and spectacular.

Ding Haixia arranged them in the reception room, and then walked into Lin Feng's office to report, "Boss, they have arrived, and they are arranged in reception room 1."

Lin Feng put down the pencil and eraser in his hands, and reading the design drawings of this hydrogen engine every day has become his compulsory course. Today is the same. Just now, he read dozens of design drawings in one go, and there are still a dozen left unfinished .

"You and Mr. He go over to receive him first, and I will come back in about one or two minutes."

Lin Feng continued to read these design drawings, and spent more than ten minutes reading them all. Then he got up and prepared to go, and he did not forget to bring a few design drawings of this hydrogen engine and a few color-printed introduction materials.

The introduction materials have been prepared and printed. Since some people already know the existence of this hydrogen engine, many parts have been handed over to outside suppliers for manufacturing, and some standard parts have also begun to be purchased, so there is no need to hide it. Tuck it in.

Lin Feng plans to hold a product conference in ten days and a half months to announce this hydrogen engine to the world and accept orders.

Some corresponding work has already begun preparations, such as this color printing version of the promotional materials, A4 size, beautiful color printing, not only many color pictures, but also some text introductions, and some basic parameters and so on.

Holding these things, Lin Feng walked into the reception room.

He Hua got up immediately and introduced, "Mr. Cole, this is our boss, Mr. Lin Feng."

Of course, Holt Cole and others got up immediately. He shook hands with Lin Feng proactively, and introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Holt Cole from Boeing Company."

After introducing himself, he introduced his subordinates to Lin Feng one by one. Everyone sat down on the sofa and started talking.

After chatting for a few words, Holt Cole took the initiative to talk about the topic, "Mr. Lin, I'm here for your hydrogen engine, can you introduce it to us?"

Lin Feng did not refuse, and smiled slightly. Everything was within his own guess, and the other party really came for this hydrogen engine.

First of all, open the color picture of the hydrogen engine. Lin Feng will introduce it based on the color picture, and stop every time he says a sentence or two, so that the translator who brought him can translate these words into English.

Of course Lin Feng can speak fluent English, but this is his home field, so there is no need to speak English, he must speak Mandarin.

Gradually, Holt Cole and others were shocked!

If you observe carefully, someone even quietly pinched yourself to make sure that this is not a dream and that all of this is real.

Using controllable nuclear fusion technology!
One liter of water is equivalent to 300 liters of fuel!

The weight of a single hydrogen engine is 2500 kg, the rated output power is 50000 kW, and the service life of the first turnaround period is 15000 hours
(Amendment, the power-to-weight ratio of 20 should be 5 kilowatts, which is 50 megawatts. The previous 5000 kilowatts is wrong.)
After Lin Feng's introduction, Holt Cole and the others were still in extreme shock and couldn't help themselves. It took another one or two minutes before they came back to their senses one after another.

"Mr. Lin, forgive me for my gaffe just now. This engine is so shocking. It uses ordinary water as energy and uses controllable nuclear fusion technology. It's amazing!"

At this moment, he is full of admiration!

Convinced, greatly convinced!

Next, he asked some questions about this hydrogen engine. After Lin Feng gave him a few introduction materials of this hydrogen engine, he felt like a treasure. After looking through it, he put it away very solemnly.

Lin Feng said, "This is our first hydrogen engine. In the near future, we will have more models, both bigger and smaller."

Holt Cole nodded vigorously, and said eagerly, "Mr. Lin, please allow me to make a call back."

Lin Feng nodded.

Holt Cole was out for a few minutes, briefing Airbus president Joseph Allen.

After entering the meeting, Holt Cole first began to apologize, "Mr. Lin, we should join the China Aviation Industry Association. We have not been able to join. This is our fault. I apologize to you."

Lin Feng nodded slightly.

After apologizing, Holt Cole said sincerely, "Mr. Lin, please allow us to join the China Aviation Industry Association."

Lin Feng didn't say anything.

He didn't say yes right away, nor did he refuse.

At the beginning, Airbus was invited to join the China Aviation Industry Association, but they declined, and they did not join the World Aviation Industry Federation. Now that they want to join, Lin Feng will not agree so readily.

Holt Cole was a little anxious, apologized again, and promised, "Mr. Lin, we will hold a press conference to announce to the world that we have joined the China Aviation Industry Association. In addition, we will try our best to attract those who have not yet joined. companies to join."

Finally, Lin Feng nodded lightly, "Yes, you are allowed to join, but this matter must be announced to the world."

Holt Cole assured, "We must hold a global press conference to announce to the world that we have joined the China Aviation Industry Agreement."

This is interesting. As a giant in the aviation industry, if Airbus really announces to the world that it has joined the China Aviation Industry Association in a high-profile manner, what kind of reaction will the entire industry have? I am really looking forward to it.

After learning what they wanted to know, Holt Cole and his group only stayed in Leihuo Technology Industrial Group for about two or three hours, and then left to return to Europe.

After he goes back, he will report these things to the entire high-level of Airbus, and let the high-levels make a decision. It is estimated that the entire Airbus strategy must be adjusted quickly to keep up with the pace of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group.

After Holt Cole returned, Airbus executives held a meeting immediately.

No one could calm down when they learned that Leihuo Technology Industry Group was developing a hydrogen engine using controllable nuclear fusion, and that one liter of water was equivalent to 300 liters of fuel.

Even, many people think this is a huge opportunity.

"Great, this is really a good situation!"

"Our competitor Boeing is the initiator of the World Aviation Alliance and an important member of the alliance. They will regret it in the future!"

"A press conference must be held immediately to announce to the world that it has joined the China Aviation Industry Association. In addition, this hydrogen engine must be ordered immediately!"

"I'm looking forward to what our airliner will look like after it is equipped with a hydrogen engine!"

"."

The entire meeting room was completely different, and it took a long time to quiet down. The meeting soon decided to hold a global press conference. In addition, the president Joseph Allen decided to go to Leihuo Technology Industrial Group in person.

His plan is not only to order this hydrogen engine, but also to form a strategic cooperation with Leihuo Technology Industrial Group.

As for saying that this engine is still in the development stage, and the first engine has not yet been manufactured, is it a little early to order now?

Almost no one would think so. This is a hydrogen engine. If you don't start early, as long as you slow down a little, you will probably lose the opportunity. If you don't do it, the order will be delayed for several months.

After the meeting, Airbus was running at high speed, and the first thing it did was prepare to hold a global press conference to announce its joining the China Aviation Industry Agreement.

The media who received the invitation, as well as the professionals in the industry, were basically stunned and very puzzled. Isn't Airbus always neutral? Why did it suddenly announce its membership in the China Aviation Industry Association in such a high-profile way?

Aside from being puzzled, many people realized that this was big news.

The next day, the Airbus global press conference was held in a five-star hotel. Almost all the major European media came, as well as many people in the industry. More than 1000 people were in the press conference hall.
