Chapter 66: A Major Discovery
The Americans came, quite suddenly, and the ministry only made a phone call to the Yonghong factory, and two engineers from the American Pratt & Whitney Company had already boarded the southbound train.
Although the Yonghong factory has been preparing for this for nearly a month, after hearing the news, there is still a feeling of being suddenly attacked, fortunately, the leaders of the Yonghong plant have gone through the wind and waves, and the director of the Yu factory, who has returned to the factory, held an enlarged meeting of the leadership team overnight to inform the American engineers of the upcoming inspection, and at the same time, asked all departments to do a good job in reception.
Cui Wen, director of the second workshop of the general assembly, was the first to express his position, and the focus of the inspection was their workshop, so it was also the top priority of how much gas turbine production share Yonghong Plant could get.
In this regard, Cui Wen is still very confident, the aero engine production line of the second workshop of the final assembly is like a fake, and the new turbine blade led by himself has just passed the acceptance of the ministry not long ago, and has been well received by the superiors, and it is also a well-known signboard.
No matter how advanced the gas turbines of the Americans are, they are only civilian products used to generate electricity, and how can the quality of their own well-known military products not be in the eyes of the Yankees?
Because of this, Cui Wen knocked his chest loudly at the late-night leadership group enlargement meeting, and promised in front of the entire factory leadership team that the American engineers would be speechless with shock.
......
The two American engineers were indeed speechless!
Not because of how powerful the complete aero engine production line of the Yonghong factory is, but the two feel that it is a miracle that the Chinese can produce aero engines with such backward equipment.
One of the engineers named Miles gave a thumbs up to the accompanying Director Yu and Chief Engineer He: "You are very powerful, really, you don't even have a CNC machine tool, but you can produce an aero engine, I have to say that you surprise me." ”
When Director Yu and Chief Engineer He heard this, they smiled on their faces, but they had mixed feelings in their hearts, and it was obvious that the engineer named Miles disliked the backwardness of the equipment of the Yonghong Factory.
However, no matter what Miles says, the words are still subtle, and the other fat engineer named Heisenberg is much more direct in comparison.
"Judging from the current situation, Yonghong Plant can bear up to 3% of the production of MT-8 gas turbines, because I really don't see that you have the ability to process precision and complex parts. ”
This is what Heisenberg said after visiting the second workshop of the assembly with high hopes of the leadership team of the whole factory, and I heard that the factory leaders such as Director Yu and Chief Engineer He almost didn't find a crack to drill into.
As for the so-called new turbine blades that Cui Wen has been showing off, the two American engineers also looked at it, but they also looked at it, then shook their heads at each other and put it aside, Cui Wen didn't understand what the two American engineers meant, and asked through the translator, but Heisenberg's reply almost didn't make Cui Wen vomit three liters of blood on the spot.
"It's still a solid blade, it's too low-end. ”
The things that Yonghong Factory showed with the strength of the whole factory were approved by two American engineers to be useless, and in the end they could only get 3% of the production proportion.
Especially Cui Wen, the statement at the enlarged meeting of the leadership group a few days ago is still in his ears, vowing to win 25% of the production proportion, and it echoes in the conference room of Building 9, but in a blink of an eye, the production line he is proud of is shocked as a "miracle"!
The new turbine blades, which are used as signboards, are said to be low-end, just like throwing garbage, and they don't even bother to look at it.
So much so that before the two American engineers finished their investigation, Cui Wen's people were already about to collapse, and they were really embarrassed.
Not only Cui Wen, but also Director Yu and Chief Engineer He are not much better, you must know that it is not only the people who accompanied the two American engineers to inspect the Yonghong factory, but also sent two leaders to follow them.
Now after listening to the evaluation of the American engineer, the two leaders have ugly faces, you must know that this is an international cooperation project led by the ministry, in order to fill the gap in domestic power generation gas turbines.
The choice of Yonghong factory, in addition to the good foundation of Yonghong factory, the transformation of civilian products in recent years has also been very good, so the ministry wants to take Yonghong factory as a pilot to explore new ways of state-owned enterprise reform.
Na Cheng wanted the American engineers to come over and take a look, but they were actually ruined, which made the face of the ministry and commission lose to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, how could the leaders not be angry.
So in the interval of the inspection, the two leaders called the director, secretary and chief engineer of the Yonghong factory to the side, and did not come up at all with a sentence: "If your factory is not good, we will replace it." ”
This is not a discussion, but a cold notice, there is no reason to talk about, after all, there is not only one Yonghong factory under the ministry, there are several of the same scale, if the Yonghong factory is not good, it is too normal for the ministry to change the strength of the strong.
Director Yu, Chief Engineer He and others knew very well that the leaders of the ministry were not lying, but because of this, the cold sweat on their backs was pouring out, and they almost thought of all the possibilities, but they didn't expect that the Americans' vision would be so high.
But how can we explain this? We cannot say that China's aviation industry as a whole is backward, and the engineers of the Pratt & Whitney Corporation of the United States are the same everywhere.
Even if this is the case, if you say it, not to mention that the leader will give you an excuse to criticize, and the brother factories that rush to cooperate with the United States will also accuse you of being selfish and greedy.
All in all, after being evaluated by American engineers, it was wrong to say anything, so in addition to looking at each other, Director Yu and others could only helplessly bow their heads and listen to the arrangement of the leaders of the parts.
Of course, this has to be adjusted after the inspection of American engineers, and now it is important to accompany the two ghosts to finish the factory, but there are more absent-minded people at the moment, so that they don't care too much about the location of the factory.
"Oh my God, Miles, look~~ What's that?"
While the Chinese entourage was thinking about it, the two American engineers were full of interest, and as a result, Heisenberg found a basketball-sized ring under the windowsill on the first floor of a small two-story building, the outer layer exuded a metallic luster, and the inner layer was covered by a layer of non-gold and non-wood coating, so he hurriedly called Miles next to him to see it.
Miles frowned, squinted his eyes in the direction Heisenberg was pointing, saw the strange ring, and sighed in amazement, "How is that possible?"
So saying, he ran over in three steps and two steps, leaned down and picked up the ring, looked inside and out, and exclaimed at Heisenberg: "Oh my God, Mr. Heisenberg, this is a great discovery!"
