Chapter 418 The First Hydrogen Engine Comes Out
Wang Yalong said, "Boss, we need a large number of standard parts, which can be purchased domestically, but I think the quality of imported parts is better."

He explained the situation again.

Lin Feng said, "Then import part of the standard parts from abroad. Of course, domestic purchases are also required. All imports are unrealistic. We cannot let foreigners earn all the money."

For the same standard parts, some are purchased domestically and some are imported. Imported standard parts are mainly used in hydrogen engines for the domestic market, while those sold to the international market are all made of domestic standard parts.

It is best for domestic use, and it is slightly worse for export, this is Lin Feng's idea.

After getting the agreement, Wang Yalong was both happy and a little worried, "Boss, I actually like the standard parts of Mitsui, but I'm worried that they won't sell them."

In the past, many companies followed the pace of the beautiful country, and many things were banned from the Leihuo Technology Industrial Group. Needless to say, advanced numerical control equipment, Wang Yalong was worried that this small standard part might not be sold by others.

Lin Feng smiled, "That was in the past, now they dare not not sell, remember, we not only want to buy, but also ask them to lower the market price."

Wang Yalong was slightly taken aback, "Boss, is this okay? After all, we are going to buy things from them, so it would be nice if they don't sit on the ground and raise the price."

Lin Feng said, "We can afford them by buying some standard parts from them. If we don't know the good and the bad, then our future hydrogen engines will not be exported to Japan. At that time, it will be useless for them to beg us."

Wang Yalong nodded lightly, although he was still not fully sure, he was still willing to give it a try.

After watching Wang Yalong leave, Lin Feng thought in his heart, there is indeed a gap in the quality of some things in our country compared with Japan, Europe, America and other countries, but there will be basically no difference in one or 20 years. In some respects it even surpassed them.

Wang Yalong personally found the person in charge of Mitsui's office in Shenhai City and explained his intentions. The other party was actually a little surprised.

A few years ago, Leihuo Technology Industrial Group wanted to import spare parts from a Japanese company, but the other party was arrogant and indifferent, the price was expensive, and the service was poor.

The other party was so enthusiastic that Wang Yalong even suspected that this was a Japanese company, but believe it or not, all of this is true.

The conversation between the two parties went smoothly. After the other party made a phone call back to Japan to ask for instructions, they made a big concession on the price, which was [-] to [-]% lower than the market price, and promised to pay after the supply.

After the matter was settled, Wang Yalong still felt unreal.

After a long time, he knew that everything was different now, no company would dare to do anything to Leihuo Technology Industry Group, and it was too late to hug Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

All kinds of procurement parts have been started, and the first batch of materials is very large. The parts are purchased according to the share of 1000 hydrogen energy engines, and the production volume of each supplier is also large.

Phoenix Factory, Manufacturing Department.

A total of dozens of parts with drawing numbers are manufactured by them. Of course, like other suppliers, they are all just general parts of this hydrogen engine, and the manufacturing and processing are not difficult.

Although the processing is not difficult, the price of each part is not cheap, ranging from a few hundred yuan to three to five thousand yuan, or even tens of thousands of yuan each, and the profit is still very considerable.

You know, at this time, the wages of ordinary workers in the Phoenix Factory were only 400 to [-] yuan. Processing these parts was enough to make the profit level and revenue of the Phoenix Factory skyrocket.

20 days ago, the manufacturing department received a procurement plan from the project department of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, which was for ten parts. Today they received another procurement plan.

After the purchaser Xiao Zhao came up with the plan, he exclaimed, "My God, how is it possible, did you write an extra zero!"

It turned out to be a procurement plan for 1000 parts.

Xiao Zhao's exclamation attracted the attention of several people nearby, and everyone gathered together, and couldn't believe it after seeing the procurement plan.

"It's really 1000 parts!"

"It should be a clerical error, it should be an extra zero, I think 100 copies are still possible, 1000 copies are absolutely impossible."

"Call quickly and ask, it must be verified."

"."

The matter is very important and must be verified clearly, so the phone call was made quickly, and the answer from Leihuo Technology Industry Group was very clear, it was 1000 units, this is only the first batch, and it is estimated that there will be another batch in ten days and a half months. Issue a batch, not less than 1000 copies.

Oh my god, I started placing purchase orders in units of 1000 units.

It was a long time before they came back to their senses.

This situation was reported immediately, and it soon reached Wang Tianfang's place. Therefore, the senior management of the entire Phoenix Factory sat together for a meeting. This was a big event and a huge opportunity.

A total of dozens of parts, large and small, are processed and manufactured in Fenghuang Factory. What is the total value of parts with dozens of drawings, which is more than 30 yuan.

How much is 1000 units, more than three hundred million!

More than three billion!
The total revenue of the Phoenix Factory last year was only about [-] to [-] million yuan. Such a purchase order is more than [-] million yuan, which is worth their total revenue last year, and the profit is obviously higher than before. Those aero engines are much taller.

Wang Tianfang said, "I personally called Mr. Lin to verify it. Comrades, this is a huge opportunity in front of us. Mr. Lin said that it is only the future production capacity of 50 megawatts of hydrogen energy engines. The monthly production will exceed 1000 units, and there will be hydrogen engines with multiple power levels such as 10 MW and 20 MW in the future."

After hearing Wang Tianfang's words, every high-level executive in the Phoenix Factory was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

As long as they closely follow Leihuo Technology Industry Group and hold on to this thick thigh, Phoenix Factory can take off instead of turning over.

Wang Tianfang said, "From now on, our focus will be on the production and manufacture of these parts, and it will be mass-produced. The production mode is completely different from before. It is necessary to ensure quality and quantity, complete and deliver on time. "

After the meeting, the entire Phoenix factory started running at high speed.

About 1000 parts per month, although there are only dozens of drawing numbers, which is only a small proportion of the thousands of drawing numbers for an engine, it is also a huge challenge and requires full horsepower.

In addition, expanding the number of workers, purchasing equipment, and expanding production capacity is also a top priority. With such a good opportunity, Wang Tianfang set a small goal for himself. There are more than two months left today, and he must achieve a revenue of more than one billion.

Not only the Phoenix Plant, but all major suppliers are producing various accessories at full capacity, preparing for the mass production of 50-megawatt hydrogen engines.

Today, Lin Feng personally went to Leihuo Engine Design Center.

The 50-megawatt hydrogen engine is fully designed and has entered full-scale production and manufacturing. The next task is a 10-megawatt hydrogen engine. This engine will also be the power for the future stealth high-altitude high-speed UAV.

It is still the old rule that Lin Feng prints out all the design drawings of important and key parts, and everyone is not required to design, as long as they understand their structure and function, it is enough, and things that are too esoteric do not need to be understood.

In the training room, there are two to three hundred people, including middle and high-level managers of the design center, design experts, design supervisors, backbones, etc.

On the huge projection screen, the general design drawing of this 10 megawatt hydrogen energy engine was displayed, and Lin Feng was explaining it to everyone.

Because everyone has successfully designed and completed a 50-megawatt-class hydrogen engine, and already has a certain amount of experience and foundation, Lin Feng explained it faster, and everyone accepted it faster.

From a structural point of view, this 10-megawatt hydrogen engine is very similar to the 50-megawatt hydrogen engine. The functions and principles are of course the same. Many parts are even common, or the shape and structure are exactly the same, but the size is smaller.

For example, the main casing of the engine has almost the same shape and structure, except that the main casing of the 10 MW hydrogen engine is smaller.

In addition to explaining the general design drawing to everyone, Lin Feng also projected the general design drawing of some important components, and explained it to everyone in detail.

There are also design drawings of some key and important parts, which Lin Feng also explained a little bit.

In addition to the general design drawing of the engine and the general design drawing of each component, Lin Feng also brought more than 100 design drawings of key and important parts, and explained it to everyone for two days.

Two days later, the design work of this 10 MW hydrogen energy engine was fully launched. Lin Feng gave everyone three months, but it is estimated that it should be completed in about two months, because there is a basis for the 50 MW hydrogen energy engine Putting it there, I have already printed out so many general design drawings and design drawings of key parts. The design difficulty is not too big, and the design workload is not too big for more than 2000 designers.

On average, there are only three or five design drawings for each person. It is just drawing design drawings without design verification, design analysis, or even complicated design calculations. Two to three months are enough.

The 10 megawatt hydrogen engine quickly entered the design, and then Lin Feng went to Leihuo Aircraft Design Center in person.

The improved and upgraded 'Fat Girl' has already completed the design, and the first new 'Fat Girl' has entered full production.

At least [-]% to [-]% of the parts of the new "Fat Girl" are still in use without modification, and only [-]% to [-]% of the parts are different from before. The structure has either been strengthened or changed, the purpose is to strengthen the structural strength of the whole machine , improve the carrying capacity and reliability, and facilitate the use of hydrogen engines as power.

The engine has been changed from the original four LH4 turbofan engines with large bypass ratio to the current two 245 MW hydrogen engines.

Two hydrogen engines with such a high power level are enough, and the power is more powerful than the previous four engines.

The big conference room is full of people, and all the people here are design backbones, experts or middle and high-level personnel of Leihuo Aircraft Design Center.

Lin Feng personally told everyone about the design of this drone.

The huge color picture was displayed first, and Lin Feng introduced the performance, parameters, structure, etc. of this drone to everyone.

The meeting room soon became commotion.

"This function is too powerful, and the performance is too heaven-defying!"

"If such a powerful drone can be developed, I think this life will be worth it!"

"This is a super big job, and I am full of energy!"

"."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Feng smiled happily, motioned everyone to be quiet first, and then began to explain the design of this drone to everyone in detail.

This time I brought a lot of design drawings. In addition to the general structure diagram of the aircraft, the general diagram of the avionics system, etc., I brought a lot of general drawings of other components, and there are also design drawings of some key components, which are good enough. Hundreds of copies.

For the next few days, Lin Feng basically stayed in the aircraft design center, explaining the design of this drone. After more than a week, this drone began to enter the design stage.

The time also entered November, and the first hydrogen engine entered the final assembly.

Thunderfire Turboshaft Engine Company.

There are already two brand-new assembly lines in the huge assembly plant, and the assembly of the first 50 MW hydrogen engine has started.

This is a streamline assembly line designed by the system. Not only is the design scientific and reasonable, but it also adopts many advanced design technologies. It also has a very high degree of automation and high assembly efficiency. After the official start, dozens of hydrogen engines are rolled off the production line every day without a single point. question.

The workers are already in place, the assembly line has started, and the mechanical arms one by one are working to assemble various parts.

Lin Feng, who originally stayed at Leihuo Aircraft Design Center to guide everyone in the design of drones, is here today, accompanied by a large group of people.

Everyone was full of joy, especially He Hua, Wang Yalong and other high-level executives. In their view, once the assembly line started, it was simply a golden ten thousand taels, which would not dare to be printed on the money printing machine.

A few hours later, the first hydrogen engine rolled off the assembly line!

This efficiency is a bit amazing!

It actually only takes a few hours from the beginning of the final assembly to the completion of the final assembly. If the assembly line has been running, because it is an assembly line operation, a hydrogen engine will be off the assembly line in about 20 minutes.

Because it is a trial production, it did not run at full power, but only a few engines were trial-produced, and the test run will be carried out next.

If the test run is qualified, it will enter mass production.

"This is a hydrogen engine. It actually looks like this. It's completely different from traditional fuel-based aero engines!"

"What is the fuel-based aero engine in front of it, the gap is too big!"

"The test run will be carried out soon. I don't know how the test run is going!"

"I don't think there should be a problem!"

"."

At the production and manufacturing site, many workers, technicians, and management personnel are discussing enthusiastically, and everyone is in high spirits, even happier than the New Year!

The first engine is immediately loaded and transported away, leaves the assembly workshop, goes to the test bench, and then the second and third engines
The several 50-megawatt-class hydrogen engines manufactured today have all been transported away, and the first test run will begin soon.

The test run passed perfectly, and all performance and indicators fully met the design requirements. When the test run was completed, bursts of cheers rang out from the scene.

Then, a total of six hydrogen engines were all tested one by one, and all passed smoothly, fully meeting the design standards.

He Hua was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear, "Boss, all of them have passed the test drive verification, that's great!"

Wang Yalong said, "Boss, do you want to conduct a 300-hour long-term assessment and test drive?"

Lin Feng asked, "If mass production starts tomorrow, can the supply of spare parts keep up?"

Wang Yalong said confidently, "No problem, we have already made sufficient preparations for mass production!"

Because it is an assembly line, an engine will be rolled off the assembly line in about 10 minutes, and the consumption of various parts is very fast. If any part is out of supply, the entire assembly line will stop.

Since the preparations are so full, what are you waiting for, Lin Feng ordered, "Then start mass production tomorrow morning!"

There is no need for various other verification and test runs. Lin Feng has basically seen the design drawings of this engine in person. If there is no problem in the design, then go directly to mass production without wasting time on various test runs.

The next day.

Today's "China Aviation News" is on the headlines of the front page, which is almost the entire page. It reports with pictures and texts that the first 50-megawatt hydrogen energy engine was successfully manufactured in Leihuo Technology Industrial Group and passed the test run perfectly.

At the same time, the news that this hydrogen engine has entered mass production was published, and immediately, firstly, the entire domestic aviation industry, and then the world aviation industry were shocked.

"It's amazing, it's really a success!"

"As a Chinese, I am very proud!"

"1 liter of water is equal to the energy generated by 300 liters of fuel oil. The advent of this hydrogen engine has made a great contribution to the world."

"You say, with the successful manufacture of this hydrogen engine, will it drive the third industrial revolution!"

"."

A large number of people are discussing this matter, and a large number of newspapers and TV stations are also reporting this matter. Not only domestically, but also internationally, the reaction is huge.

Many people are happy and seem to see that a new era is coming, but of course a few people are unhappy, such as Bill Dawson, Howard and others.

No, these people are sitting together again, plotting.

"The situation we least expect to see has emerged. What should we do next, everyone, who has a better way."

Suddenly, the whole scene was silent.

Needless to say, sanctioning the Leihuo Technology Industrial Group and the like will not have any effect at all, and there is no means to suppress the Leihuo Technology Industrial Group.

After a long time, someone suggested, "This hydrogen engine has been sold internationally, we can get one or two through some channels, and then carry out mapping and imitation."

Some people's eyes lit up. Obviously, they had considered doing this too.

"This is a good idea. With our strong domestic industrial strength and technological foundation, I think it will be successfully imitated."

"I am in favor of imitation!"

"As long as we can successfully imitate it, all problems will be solved."

Bill Dawson reminded with a little worry, "Since Leihuo Technology Industry Group dares to sell this hydrogen engine to the world, it is estimated that it will be difficult or almost impossible to successfully imitate it."

Howard also agrees with this point. Last time they spent a huge amount of money to purchase a complete set of design drawings of the LH165 turbofan engine. They wanted to manufacture this engine, but found it very difficult to manufacture it.

Even if there is a complete set of design drawings, if there is no design drawing, can the imitation be successful only by physical surveying and mapping? He is a little bit unconvinced.

Seeing the hesitation of Bill Dawson, Howard and others, someone said, "If we don't try it, how will we know it won't work? What if the imitation succeeds."

This suggestion is very tempting, in case it really succeeds.
