Start with the aviation industry

Chapter 448 Take the high-end route

The six hydrogen engines of the Ma Lun Group were delivered obediently, and Lin Feng also successfully completed the system task.

The voice of "Xiaoqiang" sounded in my mind.

"Master, the mission is complete, and 1500 achievement points have arrived."

Lin Feng was overjoyed, and his achievement points had reached 4800+ again. If he exchanged things now, there are many things to choose from. However, it is better to accumulate them first.

In addition to gaining 1500 achievement points, this matter had a great influence, and it completely played the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

It is estimated that no one would dare to resell hydrogen engines secretly, otherwise, the Mullen Group and the Great Star Group are good examples.

After a while, Lin Feng's cell phone rang.

Xia Yang's joyful voice came from the mobile phone, "Brother Feng, the six hydrogen engines have been unloaded from the plane, and our people have completed the handover..."

He happily reported the situation.

My heart is full of pride.

So what about the world's power giants, and what about the Mullen Group, if they are fined, they will be fined, and they will be asked to return the engine, or they will take the initiative to transport things by air.

This feeling is simply not too cool!
In addition to feeling relieved, Xia Yang also felt that the general manager of his project was very tough.

When the system task was completed, Lin Feng knew that the Ma Lun Group had honestly returned the engine, but after listening to Xia Yang's report on the phone, he felt happy.

After a few words of praise and chatting for a while and putting down the phone, Lin Feng thought in his heart that this matter has come to an end for the time being.

…………

Wujiang City, Leihuo Second Aircraft Manufacturing Company.

The construction here is changing with each passing day, and several factories have already started to be capped. In a week or two, some factories will start to enter the interior installation and construction.

In the factory area, several wide asphalt roads have been completed, straight and spectacular.

Some workers have already started to plant flowers and trees and lay lawns on both sides of each avenue.

There are a total of four gates in the factory area, all of which have been completed. Each gate is spacious and magnificent, especially the big gold-plated characters of "Leihuo Technology Industrial Group Second Aircraft Manufacturing Company" are very eye-catching.

Security personnel are on duty at each gate.

Entering from the main gate is the company's vestibule area, which is larger than a football field. The main building here is the [-]-story office building.

This building has been capped and is entering the interior and exterior decoration stage. After completion, it will be very beautiful. It is estimated to be one of the most beautiful and luxurious buildings in Wujiang City.

The roof of the building is spacious and strong, designed and built according to the standard of taking off and landing helicopters. There are two helicopter positions, which can take off and land two helicopters.

The people in Wujiang City have never seen such a large and magnificent factory area in their entire lives. Of course, everyone will chat about this factory area after dinner and tea.

"It's too big, I've never seen such a big factory!"

"You can see the changes every day, and the construction progress is really not ordinary fast!"

"Have you noticed that ten-story office building? The glass exterior is so beautiful and fashionable!"

"..."

Many ordinary people will talk about this huge factory area, and those who work in the factory area have discovered a strange phenomenon.

In the past few days, a lot of equipment has been put in place, some of which are imported.

The huge packaging boxes of these devices are all in English, and there are several huge English letters that are very conspicuous, which translates into Chinese as "free gift".

In order to have a good performance, those aviation industry companies in the beautiful country racked their brains and came up with a series of methods.

Present a variety of advanced, high-precision manufacturing equipment needed in the aviation industry to Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

They will definitely not send those so-called second-rate or quasi-first-rate manufacturing equipment. First, there is something they can't show, and second, they are worried that it will arouse the dissatisfaction of Leihuo Technology Industrial Group.

All the manufacturing equipment here are all good things. A single unit is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, as much as three or five million dollars, and one is worth more than 500 million dollars.

Many people in the Second Aircraft Manufacturing Company felt that this was like a dream. What happened to those companies in the beautiful country, they gave away such good and expensive equipment for free, and even delivered them in person.

Leihuo Technology Industry Group doesn't even need to pay the shipping fee, just accept it.

"My dear, this is a CNC welding robot, seven-axis linkage, highly automated!"

"Old Liu, do you know this device?"

"Of course I know each other." Old Liu said, "Before I joined Leihuo No. [-] Aircraft Manufacturing Company, I was the technical director of a domestic aircraft manufacturing company. At that time, our factory wanted to buy such equipment."

"Old Liu, have you bought it yet?"

"No." Lao Liu smiled bitterly, "We really wanted to buy such equipment at the beginning, but the beautiful country didn't sell it, and we wouldn't sell it for more money!"

"Now they are willing to send such high-tech equipment here without paying a penny. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."

"Old Liu, how much does this equipment cost?"

The boss Liu thought for a while, and then said, "As far as I know, there is no 800 million US dollars, and it is estimated to be 700 to [-] million US dollars."

It's so expensive!
The technicians next to them were secretly dumbfounded!
It's so expensive, it's outrageously expensive!

Such a high price just shows that this equipment is very advanced and its welding function is very powerful.

Leihuo Equipment Branch is currently considered to be the world's first-class data equipment manufacturer, and has its own data operating system, but it is good at various CNC machining centers, CNC lathes and the like.

The CNC welding equipment has not yet been designed and developed, and has not entered this field. The company in the beautiful country took the initiative to send such a good product, which can be regarded as saving a sum of money for Leihuo Technology Industry Group, and does not need to go overseas to buy.

The large-scale construction of the factory area is in full swing, and it has begun to take shape. Some factories have begun to be capped, and some equipment has begun to be in place.

Around the factory area, there are four or five high-end residential quarters for employees, basically all of which are elevator bungalows with more than [-] floors.

There are some buildings whose construction height has reached more than [-] floors.

In a fourth- and fifth-tier city like Wujiang City, and now in the mid-to-late 90s, such residential communities are undoubtedly very enviable.

"Look, it has been built to such a high height, there are more than 20 floors."

"I really envy these people in Leihuo Technology Industrial Group. They meet such a good boss. Not only do they have high salaries and bonuses, but they also have such a good house to live in."

"I don't know why they recruit people. If you can enter this company, it will be worth it in your life."

"..."

Leihuo Technology Industrial Group is building a large-scale and developing rapidly. In Europe, thousands of miles away, Airbus is holding a high-level meeting.

They already know that Leihuo Technology Industrial Group is designing and developing aerospace aircraft, and they have a certain understanding of this aircraft.

The topic of the meeting was related to this aerospace plane.

They noticed the news about Leihuo Technology Industrial Group's research and development of aerospace aircraft, and they were very worried. A group of high-level executives gathered for a meeting to discuss.

"Everyone, you have a certain understanding of this aerospace plane."

This is Holt Kerr, the president of Airbus, he is equally worried and very worried.

This aerospace plane is fantastic!

It is said that the top speed can reach 10 kilometers per hour. That does not mean that it only takes about [-] minutes to fly from Europe to China.

"Well, I already have a certain understanding."

"Knowing that Leihuo Technology Industry Group is developing aerospace aircraft, I haven't been able to sleep well these days."

"Me too, worried about the future of our company."

"..."

These high-ranking company executives in the past are expressing their feelings at this moment.

It can be seen that no one has it easy.

Originally, they were relatively relaxed, and they were very optimistic about the company's future.

why?

Because the relationship with Leihuo Technology Industry Group is relatively good, it not only manufactures some parts of hydrogen energy engines as an OEM, but the key is to be able to purchase hydrogen energy engines from Leihuo Technology Industry Group without hindrance.

With hydrogen engines, it is different. They are changing fuel-based passenger planes into passenger planes powered by hydrogen engines.

The transformation of the first batch of passenger aircraft of various types has been completed, and the flight test performance is good. The next stage is mass production.

Their main competitors, such as a Canadian civil airliner giant in the beautiful country, are said to have not been forgiven by Leihuo Technology Industry Group, and have not purchased hydrogen engines until now.

Aeroplanes will appear.

The entire Airbus executives became worried, and I said one sentence at a time.

"We can only hope that the development of this aircraft fails."

"I think this possibility is too small. They are Leihuo Technology Industrial Group. As far as I know, they have never failed."

"Yes, yes, they can even develop a hydrogen engine."

"..."

After letting everyone chatter for a few minutes, Holt Cole said, "Everyone, what shall we do next?"

There was a silence in the conference room.

After a long time, Vice President Joseph Allen stood up, "I think, under the current circumstances, we should keep up with Leihuo Technology Industry Group and stand closer with them."

Holt Cole nodded slightly. He has been thinking about this matter for the past few days, and he finally thought so.

Vice President Allen continued, "Since Leihuo Technology Industrial Group is developing aerospace aircraft, we might as well take the initiative, such as visiting the door in person to find out, and then make some decisions based on the situation."

This point of view has won a lot of approval, and the president Cole made a final decision, "Then I will personally lead the team to visit and learn more about the situation."

So it was decided.

In order to appear more polite, not only will President Cole personally lead the team, but Vice President Allen will also follow, plus other entourage, there are a total of seventeen or eight people.

……

Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

In the office, Lin Feng, He Hua, and Wang Yalong were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting about some matters of the group.

We talked about the construction of the Second Aircraft Manufacturing Company, the current production and operation, and the manufacturing situation of this integrated drone.

While chatting about the aerospace plane under design, Tang Qiqi knocked on the door and walked in gently, reporting, "Boss, Airbus Group sent a fax, and their president leads the team personally, and wants to come and visit."

Lin Feng took the fax and looked at it, then smiled and said, "It seems that they know that we are designing and developing aerospace aircraft, and they can't sit still."

"You all have a look at this fax."

He Hua and Wang Yalong both looked at the contents of the fax.

The tone of the above is very sincere, and there is also a list of personnel, each person's name, position, etc. are clear.

After reading the fax, He Hua agreed, "It seems that they are really in a hurry and want to come over to find out the truth."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, and said to Tang Qiqi, "Send them a reply fax, you can come and visit, and I will talk to them then."

After two days.

A group of more than a dozen people from the Airbus Group arrived in Shenhai City and walked into the Leihuo Technology Building.

A few minutes later, they sat in the No. 118 reception room on the 1th floor of Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

Lin Feng received them personally.

Holt Cole, President of Airbus Group, was polite first, and then reported the current situation of Airbus, especially after the A320, A330, A340 and other models were changed to be powered by hydrogen engines.

"Mr. Lin, thank you very much for your company's hydrogen engine. After using it as power, the operating cost of our airliner will be greatly reduced. Compared with fuel-based airliners, it is more economical and more competitive."

After the hydrogen engine is used, the passenger plane does not need fuel, and the money saved is not a small amount.

During the operation of a civil airliner, fuel consumption is one of the most important costs. After changing to a hydrogen engine, it does not need fuel, and only needs to be filled with ordinary water.

There is no longer any distinction between medium and short-range airliners and long-distance airliners. Even if only one or two tons of water is added, this airliner can fly to any airport in the world without worrying about the range at all.

After the report, Holt Cole started to get down to business, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Lin, how is your company's aerospace aircraft project going? Can you tell me when mass production will start?"

Knowing that the purpose of their trip was to inquire about aerospace aircraft, Lin Feng did not hide anything, and introduced, "Our aerospace aircraft has entered the comprehensive design stage. The overall design will be completed in a few months, and the first prototype will be released in the second half of this year. There is no problem, and it is estimated that it will enter full-scale production in the first half of next year."

The speed is so fast!
Cole showed a worried expression, knowing that the impact of this aerospace aircraft on the civilian airliner market after it entered mass production is still great.

Even with civilian airliners with hydrogen engines, the operating costs are greatly reduced and air tickets are cheaper, but the speed of aerospace aircraft is fast.

For example, after being powered by hydrogen engines, the Airbus A320 can only fly at subsonic speeds. It takes more than ten hours to fly from Europe to China, but 10 minutes for the second or third flight of the aerospace plane is enough.

Cole also thought about whether to invest a lot of money in the development of a supersonic airliner powered by a hydrogen engine, but quickly gave up.

This not only requires a lot of money, but also takes a lot of time. Three to five years is normal. In addition, even if a supersonic passenger plane is developed, can it be compared to the aerospace plane of Leihuo Technology Industry Group? .

The speed of this aerospace plane can reach [-] kilometers per hour. For a supersonic plane, it is estimated that [-] or [-] will be the best.

Noticing the change in the expressions of Cole and others, Lin Feng smiled heartily, and then said, "Everyone, your worries are unnecessary, even if our aerospace plane enters mass production, it will not have a great impact on the civilian airliner market .”

Really!
Everyone in the Airbus Group looked at Lin Feng in unison, thinking they heard it wrong.

After realizing that he had heard correctly, Cole said in a slightly surprised tone, "Boss Lin, is what you said true?"

"Of course it is true." Lin Feng said with certainty, "Our aerospace plane will take a high-end route in the future, mainly for long-distance intercontinental flights, and medium and short-distance flights are not considered."

The fastest speed can reach [-] kilometers per hour, which is really not suitable for flying with a distance of hundreds of kilometers, or even one or two thousand kilometers, at least three to five thousand kilometers, or even tens of thousands of kilometers.

The price of aerospace aircraft in the future will not be cheap, because it will be more expensive if it takes the high-end route, anyway, it is much more expensive than ordinary civilian airliners.

For example, the price of a civilian airliner that can carry more than 100 people is about 6000 to [-] million U.S. dollars. Even if it is powered by a hydrogen engine, it will cost several million U.S. dollars at most.

The same is to take more than 100 people, and the price of the aerospace plane is at least two or three times higher. In order to earn back the money for this aerospace plane, the airline ticket must be two or three times more expensive.

This is like the high-speed rail and ordinary railway in the future.

For the same distance, ordinary train tickets only cost 200 to 600 yuan, while high-speed rail tickets may cost [-] to [-] yuan.

Ordinary civilian airliners are mainly used for medium and short-distance passenger transport. The market in this segment will not be greatly affected. If it is used for long-distance, it is not impossible. Although the speed is slower, as long as the air ticket is cheap, it is estimated that many people will still choose it.

For example, if you fly from Europe to China, with a flight distance of more than 1 kilometers, ordinary airliners with hydrogen engines will be cheaper because they do not use fuel, and a few hundred dollars may be enough.

If you take a ride for more than ten hours, it is estimated that someone will take it for only a few hundred or a thousand dollars.The aerospace plane takes the high-end route, and the air ticket is estimated to be more than two or three thousand dollars. Although it is expensive, it is fast, and it will arrive in 10 minutes on two or three.

After chatting with Lin Feng, the people of Airbus were completely relieved. It turns out that there is still a huge market for ordinary airliners, especially after hydrogen engines are used as power, air tickets will be cheaper and the market will become larger. More of people would choose to fly.

Howard Cole and others were completely relieved, and they were grateful to Lin Feng again, knowing that it was Leihuo Technology Industry Group's mercy.

They know very well that if the Leihuo Technology Industrial Group really wants to kill them all and completely occupy the world's civilian airliner market, they can sell aerospace aircraft at a lower price.

If an aerospace plane that can carry more than 100 passengers is only sold for 6000 to [-] million US dollars, then there will be no market for ordinary civilian airliners.

At almost the same price, who would choose an ordinary airliner? They must choose an aerospace plane with higher technological content, more comfortable ride, and faster flight speed.
