Chapter 285: Surprise

Company H didn't have the slightest problem with this, because they directly tripled the supply price of the Ascendas plant, asking for $3 million per "discovery" drone system, not including personnel training and basic system spare parts.

If the drone is damaged and needs to be repaired, the price is even more ridiculously high, even if you change the screws, you don't have a hundred thousand dollars to think about it, it's too expensive?

But the problem is that in addition to the U.S. military, other countries and regions in addition to the discovery of unmanned aerial systems, there is no high-end UAV to choose from, no way, can carry out all-weather real-time image transmission, several times around the world, it is found that the UAV system can be bought on the market, who does not buy it?

Especially after Company H won the super large order of UAVs from the US military, its technical capabilities were fully recognized by the US military, and some buyers who were originally waiting and saw no longer hesitated.

So orders from Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East piled up into the sales department of Company H, which made Company H ecstatic at the same time, but also made them extremely distressed, no way, their production capacity is too poor, so they can only continue to urge the Tengfei factory to step up production.

As a result, the Tengfei factory soon got another $100 million order for the discovery of unmanned aerial systems.

The production capacity of TY-2 UAVs, there is no problem with the Tengfei factory, after digesting the UAV production line of the Israeli IAA company, the Tengfei factory has reached an annual output of 500 UAVs.

It can fully meet the needs of existing orders.

The problem is that now the Tengfei factory not only needs to produce the TY-2 UAV platform, but also needs to use all kinds of electronic equipment and accessories provided by Company H to assemble ground control stations and logistics support vehicles.

The bad thing is that Company H has arranged everything, that is, the vehicles as ground carriers have not been given to the Tengfei Factory, and the Tengfei Factory is not a manufacturer of cars, and there are no large trucks in China to act as a modification platform.

In desperation, the Tengfei factory could only set its sights on neighboring Japan, preparing to import Japanese heavy-duty trucks for modification and then export them abroad.

It's just that since the trend of buying and selling imported cars in Leizhou, the domestic approval has become very strict, and if other factories put the report up, it will be up to the sky to approve three or four cars.

However, when the report of the Tengfei factory went up, the superiors gave the Tengfei factory a target of 50 vehicles per month, which was 600 vehicles for the whole year.

As soon as the news came out, other units in need immediately found their superiors, hoping to give more indicators, and took out the Tengfei factory as an example.

The superior leader listened patiently, and then smiled: "If you can modify imported trucks every year and export them to the country to earn 100 million US dollars in foreign exchange, I will approve as many indicators as you want." ”

In a word, those units are eager to die, and if they want indicators, they must first complete the small foreign exchange target of 100 million US dollars.

However, the leaders can't bother, but the Tengfei factory can, so for a while, there are countless indicators in the Tengfei factory, which makes Zhuang Jianye's head buzz for a day.

For a while, I didn't know if it was right or wrong for me to choose a Japanese truck to convert a ground control station.

When it came to Japan, Zhuang Jianye inadvertently looked at the last stack of technical documents, which were also the thickest stack of technical documents, the text was all in English, but the source was Japan's Mitsubishi Group.

The content is very messy, involving many technologies, and it is not systematic, most of it is messy and useless, but Zhuang Jianye carefully flipped through it and found three unexpected surprises.

The first is an original technical scheme of metallurgical equipment, called advanced material sintering furnace, which is described as detailed, and even mixed with a lot of anecdotes like jokes.

However, Zhuang Jianye is more and more shocked, don't look at this thing is called advanced material sintering furnace in Japan, but after it is fully practical in two years, it will have a more sci-fi and loud name, discharge plasma sintering furnace, referred to as SPS device.

Someone asked, what is this thing for?

The use can be great, aero engine turbine disc because to withstand high temperature and high pressure, the general metallurgical process can not meet the requirements, so a new process called powder metallurgy was invented, and if you want to quickly prepare and form the metal in the powder state, you need advanced sintering technology to complete.

The discharge plasma sintering furnace is the key equipment in the core sintering process of powder metallurgy.

It's like a gear synthesizer in the game, no matter what material or texture, putting it in it will always give you something to dissolve.

The discharge plasma sintering furnace is the same, because the plasma temperature is 4000~10999 °C, its gaseous molecules and atoms are in a highly activated state, and the degree of ionization in the plasma gas is very high, so it can make different materials closely fused together to generate new materials.

Therefore, whether it is in the metallurgical casting of the core components of the existing aero engine, or in the exploration of more advanced and reliable materials, the discharge plasma sintering furnace is an indispensable core equipment.

It is difficult for Zhuang Jianye not to be surprised, compared with the second one, it is a little worse, and the information is also a lot of chatter, but it is an assumption, that is, titanium and aluminum metal are used as the backbone to form a titanium aluminum alloy.

There is no clear test data in the data, but several general theoretical ranges are given, and the feasibility of this material is pre-studied, and it is believed that titanium-aluminum alloy has the potential to replace the nickel-based alloy that is commonly used in aero engines.

Can it be replaced?

Others can't give it, but Zhuang Jianye didn't hesitate at all, so naturally he couldn't do it anymore.

Titanium-aluminum alloy material is not only light in weight, but also has high strength and heat resistance is several times stronger than nickel-based alloy, which can be described as a natural core material for aero engines.

It's just that the preparation of this alloy is quite difficult, and the traditional method cannot do the fusion of titanium and aluminum, the two active metals, but with the previous discharge plasma sintering furnace, the use of powder metallurgy technology, it can be perfectly solved.

After reading these two things, Zhuang Jianye was pleasantly surprised, but still sighed, a core equipment, a core material, all of them are huge pits that burn money, but in order to take off the surging power of the factory, it seems that it is not burned and burned.

As a result, after Zhuang Jianye found the third surprise, he immediately changed his mind, no way, there are priorities, the first two are good, it will be a matter of the next few years, and now the gas turbine device of Tengfei Plant is in urgent need of this technology in front of him, that is, the most cutting-edge turbine blade cooling technology of today's aero engine - air film cooling!
