"Let's go, hurry up and get on the plane!"

Hu Wenhai kept urging people to carry boxes of luggage to the plane. Beside him, Yulia, who was holding Natalia, was about to board the plane, but had to turn around and comfort him with some strange things.

"My dear, we are the only ones on this plane, Niko's face is also very useful in Romania, no one will urge us, there is no need to be in such a hurry. ”

"Hey, brother-in-law!" Korolev stood at the entrance of the boarding gangway, stamped his feet and pretended to threaten viciously: "Don't bully my sister, otherwise even if you run to the ends of the earth, don't try to escape KGB's pursuit!"

"My eldest brother, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts!" Hu Wenhai patted Korolev's shoulder and said with a smile: "I promise, I will not let Yulia be wronged in the slightest." You have to take care of yourself and don't- don't get too addicted to video games. ”

Hu Wenhai thought about it, but in the end he still didn't remind Korolev about Chernobyl.

The accident in Chernobyl was an accident in which the scientists of the nuclear power plant had to make a practical effort to shut down the reactor's self-protection system. However, this real yàn did not communicate well with the operator. As a result, the nuclear reactor still produces high-pressure steam with the steam turbine turned off, which eventually causes the reactor to explode.

If he wants to avoid the accident, Hu Wenhai can only make a prediction. When the time comes, if you don't succeed, you will be in big trouble.

It's not that there is no other way, you can slander the nuclear power plant as having American spies in order to make a big news.

But in this way, perhaps the imaginary madness of the United States will frighten the current Soviet top brass. If the top leadership of the CPSU believes that the United States will not die and then re-adopts a policy of confrontation, perhaps the entire world pattern will be changed as a result.

Hu Wenhai, who had always had a strong impression of Romania before, no one knew why, and suddenly anxiously wanted to leave here.

After trading with Korolev, Hu Wenhai offered to go to London. Even if Niku personally intervened to save him, it didn't change his mind.

Of course, there were good reasons for him to go to London. The Rolls-Royce silver elf car that appeared in Embroidery City before did not fall from the sky, but was personally sent to Embroidery City by the British Rolls-Royce Company in the Imperial Capital Office.

As the so-called soft-handed Mr. Hu, who suffered a top-level luxury car in vain, had no choice but to "reluctantly" agree to go to London at the right time.

With a full stomach full of doubts, Secretary Chi still urgently contacted China and arranged a plane to come over.

However, although he was ready to leave, Hu Wenhai clashed with Korolev again. The reason is that he wants Natalia and Yulia to live with him in London for a while.

Korolev immediately expressed a stern objection to this, what kind of joke, who knows if Yulia will be able to come back after following him?

In the end, Hu Wenhai threatened to seize the 7 million materials, and the Carl Zeiss project that was already in operation seemed to have no other viable candidate except Yulia, so Korolev reluctantly agreed after receiving the money.

As for Yulia, she and Hu Wenhai have only been together for less than a month. Mr. and the child are in love again, and now they are in the stage of glue-like paint. As the so-called Xiao Biesheng is newly married, this is a pair of "children's parents" who have not been seen for almost two years, Yulia is of course in favor of being able to follow Hu Wenhai to London.

After arranging the preparations, Hu Wenhai hurriedly urged everyone to act with the fastest efficiency.

Just kidding, Chernobyl is about to explode in less than a month. As a neighbor of Ukraine, Romania, who knows whether it is safe or not?

Hu Wenhai didn't want his wife and children to be exposed to the dust of nuclear radiation.

Hu Wenhai nodded, not explaining too much to Yulia, but at least he was no longer so nervous to urge the surrounding staff.

There is no way to do this, and whoever thinks that they may be living under the shroud of nuclear radiation fallout will probably not still be able to maintain their peace of mind.

After all, the world has changed a lot because of Hu Wenhai, and no one knows whether the Chernobyl incident will continue to follow its original trajectory. Maybe it won't happen at all, or maybe it's going to happen sooner.

Even if this possibility is only a small probability, Hu Wenhai does not want to risk his own life.

But Yulia is right, she is no longer in a normal state, but a little nervous.

Calm Hu and Yulia carried Natalia aboard a brand-new Chinese Boeing 757, which happened to be in charge of transporting the latest batch of members of the Chinese exchange study group to Romania. Hu Wenhai specially informed China that the transportation of the next batch of study groups was suspended, nominally to go on a "honeymoon" with his wife, and the project was temporarily suspended.

As for the members of the group who had already arrived in Romania, they simply took the route of Niko, took the money and sent them to the GDR to visit and study at the original factory of Carl Zeiss. In short, Hu always gave a death order, whoever dared to come back before May would be expelled from the study group, and people would go back to China!

As for delaying the progress of the project in order to live a two-person world with his wife, Mr. Hu is rich and willful, and he is only in his early twenties, so he can only pinch his nose and endure what "ridiculous" things he did for women......

I finally boarded the plane and arranged the seats for my wife and children. Hu Wenhai said hello to Secretary Chi and walked towards the first class cabin of the plane. Obviously, there were not only Hu Wenhai, Secretary Chi, and Yulia in the cabin of this plane, but someone who had been waiting in the first class cabin for a long time.

"Wu Lao is good, Wu Lao is good, you two Wu Lao are good!"

Hu Wenhai couldn't close his mouth with a smile, so he hurriedly went to hold the hands of the two Wu elders on the plane, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Thank you, you two have flown half the world, and you don't even breathe, you have to accompany me to fly to London again, it's too much to go......

Wu Daguan and Wu Zhonghua, the two old Wu Laos, can really be regarded as China's national treasures. Both of them are not young anymore, Wu Daguan Wu is always looking at the age of retirement, and it is Hu Wenhai who dragged people back from the idle position of the Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Aviation before retirement - this is also no way, otherwise the TF41 project is really no one else can do, so he can only ask him to go out of the mountains and fight again.

And Wu Zhonghua and Wu Lao are not to mention, if according to the development of history, his old man retired in 1987 and died of liver cancer in 1992. Although Hu Wenhai specially funded a comprehensive physical examination for the people in the panda project team once a month after he was invited out of the mountain, it is difficult to say whether the high-intensity mental work of aero engine development will save his fate.

So in his heart, Hu Wenhai not only admires and admires these two Wu Laos, but also feels a little guilty about the two of them.

But obviously, the two Wu elders don't think so.

Wu Daguan waved his hand and laughed: "What Mr. Hu said is too polite, I'm still tired from taking a plane, so what can we become?

"Ha, yes. Wu Zhonghua nodded and said with emotion: "I haven't done this kind of specific research project for more than ten years, I thought I was old, and I was afraid that I would drag the project back." I didn't expect it to be a research, but it was delicious, and it didn't take much effort to climb the seventh floor in one go!"

"What's so strange about that? When people have something to do, they feel good. The mood is comfortable, and the body is naturally better. What's more, in the decades I have been with you, a project like TF41 has never been so lenient. Good guy, spending money is like running water, no one has ever urged you, and the whole day is like a dream!"

Hearing Wu Daguan's statement, Wu Zhonghua couldn't help but laugh and nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of which, thank you Mr. Hu, without Comrade Xiaohu, when would we have lived such a generous life?"

Hu Wenhai scratched his head and smiled: "Let me study aero engines, I don't have that ability, isn't it? The only thing I can do is to provide some money, which is really nothing." ”

"Hey, it's not sharp enough to be rich? Comrade Xiaohu, it's not good to be overly modest, it looks fake!"

......

Boeing 757 is the latest batch of narrow-body medium-range twin-engine passenger aircraft introduced by the Civil Aviation Administration, and now it is used as a "special plane" for Hu Wenhai, which is really face-saving.

The plane was on the runway of the airport in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, and after taxiing, it shook lightly and jumped into the blue sky. With the landing gear tucked into the belly, the slender Boeing 757 finally completed its lift-off process after a slow but determined climb and was free to soar into the sky.

Every time I look out at the sea of clouds from the plane, I wonder when I will be able to sit in a large passenger plane that we have designed and developed ourselves. ”

"There will be that day! Didn't Shanghai Airlines sign an agreement with McDonnell Douglas last year to assemble the MD-82?"

"It's not impossible to start with assembly, try the production of short-haul passenger aircraft like MD-82 first, and then solve the localization of accessories......"

The two Wu elders were talking about Zhenghuan, Hu Wenhai couldn't bear to tell them about the fate of the future MD-82 localization, and how the mud of Shanghai Airlines couldn't support the wall.

He had no choice but to play haha, change the topic: "By the way, two Wu Lao, I got the information and physical objects of the R35 turbojet engine from the Soviet Union this time, I want to ask, if the R29/35 turbojet is the core engine, is it possible to develop an advanced turbofan engine? What is the thrust-to-weight ratio?

Wu Daguan and Wu Zhonghua glanced at each other, heard Hu Wenhai's words, and pondered.

"I haven't read the R35 data yet, but the study of R35 and the differences between the two should help us figure out the thinking of the Tumansky Bureau on this technical route. As for whether it's suitable for the development of turbofan engines, this—"

Wu Zhonghua nodded and hesitated: "We can't say this well, if we want to study the development of the R29 series turbofan, at least we must first study its complete information." In addition, the accumulation of turbofans in China is also a little less. Whether it is possible or not is necessary to know after careful research. ”

Hu Wenhai was not only not depressed, but a little happy. Although Er Wu did not agree, this shows that they are cautious and responsible in this matter. In this case, as long as they don't deny it, at least it shows that this idea is possible to explore, and they can start to give it a try.

It's a big deal to throw in seven million dollars, and you can't lose money anyway. Comparing the design of the R35 with the design of the R29 alone, it is worth the ticket price to clarify the design ideas of the R29 series in China.

Since Hu Wenhai plans to continue in the money-burning industry of aero engines, he can only take a long-term view. From now on, any technical reserve will help to catch up with the world's advanced aero engine level in the future. The fact that Mao Bear can use much worse technology than the United States to make an engine with little difference in performance shows that it must have its own uniqueness in design.

After talking about the R35 for a while, Hu Wenhai saw that the two Wu elders showed tired looks, and hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the rear cabin.

"Secretary Chi, it's always too troublesome for civil aviation to transfer planes. As soon as Hu Wenhai sat down, he tilted his head and whispered: "If I buy a business jet, I don't know if it is convenient in China?"

"Mr. Hu, uh, want to buy a private jet?" Secretary Chi was slightly stunned, nodded and said: "What's inconvenient about this? If the Civil Aviation Administration doesn't let it, just put it in our name of Hainan Airlines." It's no problem to find a pilot and be a full-time driver for you!"

"Wouldn't it be too ostentatious? There are special planes in China, so what level does it have to be......

Hu Wenhai was a little hesitant, on the one hand, he went abroad frequently, so asking the Civil Aviation Administration to transfer planes for him was a waste of resources and a waste of favors, and it was too cost-effective. It's much easier to get a plane like Gulfstream or Bombardier, and it's much easier to go anywhere. On the other hand, how to use private jets is as you choose, and by the nineties there was such a big killer, and it was not too easy to engage in public relations.

But just as Hu Wenhai worried, the level of special planes that can be made in China is not low. Even if it is a small business jet, at least it has to be at the vice-national level to have this treatment. Provincial governors and ministers can only travel by train and civil aviation when they go on domestic business trips or go abroad.

"What are you ostentatious? Mr. Hu, don't you worry, why don't I ask the chief to give you a run and hang up a post in the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference?"

"The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. ”

Hu Wenhai was a little moved, the CPPCC is not a serious political institution, but it has a rank and status, which is quite suitable for him.

However, whether to have an identity in the system has not been considered by him for the time being. This piece is less than the nineties, and he doesn't dare to move around casually, so let's wait and talk.

"I think about it, I'm always going to go home and ask, uh, parents. ”

"Okay. ”

Secretary Chi nodded with a smile, if Hu Wenhai joins the CPPCC, he can't say anything if he doesn't give a vice chairman on his terms. However, the 20-year-old vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) is too scary, and Hu Wenhai is cautious, he can understand. However, it was the first time that Secretary Chi had heard of the invitation of the CPPCC on the grounds of going home and asking his parents......

There were no words all the way, and of course, it wasn't really without words. However, it takes five or six hours to fly from Romania to London, and you will arrive with your eyes closed and squinting.

On the huge Boeing 757 plane, not only Hu Wenhai's family, but also the project staff of the TF41 came. After all, it is a rare opportunity to communicate with Rolls-Royce, and these people who study Rolls-Royce engines definitely do not want to miss it.

In addition to this, the people from the Naval Equipment Center were also represented - and they were old acquaintances. Pakistan's Phantom engine replacement project has progressed to the operational stage. The US imperialists and others happily dismantled the engines of the A-7 attack aircraft in the aircraft cemetery and sold them to China at the price of scrap iron.

Then the Chinese side on the basis of TF41 to increase the engine afterburner section and carry out the overhaul, the foundation of the TF41 engine is Spey, can not be made in China but the overhaul is no problem. Tong Guò replaced the engine of the Phantom, and now the West Aviation Development has a clear understanding of the TF41 structure, and the imitation of the new TF41 is just around the corner.

The Air Force and Navy are overjoyed by this, and with the TF41, many projects can be revitalized.

With the people of the navy, the air force is not to be outdone. Although Secretary Huang of the Air Force did not come forward in person, he also sent an old acquaintance.

By the time the plane arrived at London Heathrow, it was already dusk.

When he set foot on the land of London, far away from Ukraine and Romania, Hu Wenhai's heart finally relaxed.

Rolls-Royce arranged for the pick-up person, took the VIP channel of the airport, and picked up the Chinese party from the airport.

After consulting the opinions of the two Wu elders, Hu Wenhai resigned from the welcome ceremony of Rolls-Royce and went directly to the Langham Hotel, which had been booked a long time ago.

It wasn't until all the check-in matters were arranged that Hu Wenhai breathed a sigh of relief. Drank a glass of juice in the room and took care of Natalia for a while with Yulia. It wasn't until Natalia had finally released all the energy in her small body and had finally slept peacefully that he found a chance to come out of the room.

The Langham Hotel is one of London's top hotels, with impeccable surroundings and impeccable service. When Hu Wen's name was revealed, the waiter ushered him to a private room in the hotel café.

In the private rooms full of British style, there are already people here to drink coffee.

Secretary Chi looked up and saw that the person who came was Hu Wenhai, and couldn't help but smile and greet him.

"Let's have a cup of tea, is there any osmanthus cake?"

Unexpectedly, when he heard that there was really osmanthus cake, Hu Wenhai happily ordered one. The British are doing a decent job in this area, and they will not let go of the details when they can make money.

After the waiter went out, Hu Wenhai found a comfortable position on the sofa and relaxed himself.

"Secretary Chi, is it convenient to talk here?"

Secretary Chi turned his head to look next to him, and the acquaintance from the Naval Equipment Research Center nodded: "Mr. Hu, don't worry, I have checked it, and there is no eavesdropping device." ”

Hu Wenhai nodded and smiled: "I haven't seen you for a while, I haven't congratulated Lao Zhang yet, I became an associate researcher!"

"Hey, I went around Iraq, I didn't do anything, and I was promoted when I came back!" Zhang Zhaozhong spread his hands and smiled heartily.

"You can't say that, if you go to Iraq, you will bring back billions of dollars. If you really want to have this effect without doing anything, then you won't be the God of Wealth?"

Zhang Zhaozhong waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "In front of Mr. Hu, I don't dare to say that I am the God of Wealth." If you want to talk about our China, who dares to say that we are higher than Mr. Hu in terms of the ability to make money?"

"Okay, let's not hold each other, I didn't see Secretary Chi almost vomit when I heard it. ”

"Hey, I can crutch on me without speaking?"

"This is called lying down and getting shot!" Hu Wenhai laughed.

Under the cover of everyone's laughter, Hu Wenhai gently took out a stack of paper and a gold pen from the coffee table, and wrote on the paper with a brush.

"Rolls-Royce's RB211 engine is the engine of choice for the next Boeing 757 aircraft to be introduced by civil aviation. The goodwill unleashed on us may have something to do with it. ”

"Director Lin, what's your news?"

Hu Wenhai put down the pen, Secretary Chi and Zhang Zhaozhong turned their heads in unison and looked at the fourth person in the room.

Lin Qianjun, the contact person of the Air Force, lowered his head and thought about it, picked up a pen and wrote it on paper.

"As far as I know, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has fairly approved the use of RB211 engines. ”

Lin Qianjun covered the sentence he had just written with his hand and showed it to others, and then quickly tore the paper into strips and ate it on the spot!

This kind of extremely confidential business intelligence is still in Rolls-Royce's lair, and even if it is written on paper, it does not dare to guarantee security.

Hu Wenhai nodded slightly, obviously the choice of civil aviation still follows the historical trajectory, and finally Rolls-Royce's RB211 should be introduced as the engine of the Boeing 757.

In this way, there is room for many things to operate.

"What are the plans of the Navy? The Mirage modification project is progressing smoothly, and Pakistan has more than 100 Mirage 3s that need to be refitted, with at least 100 million profits. This time the down jacket trade with the Soviet Union was worth at least 30 million rubles. Adding up to nearly $200 million, the Type 052 missile destroyer has no other ideas?"

Secretary Chi's eyes flickered, obviously thinking of what Hu Wenhai meant. He grabbed a pen and wrote on the paper: "Sea Phoenix's district defense ship plan?"

This was originally the idea put forward by Hu Wenhai on the Navy when Korolev went to China to trade information on distant-water fisheries.

At that time, it was only a rough calculation, and the full set of quotations for a district defense ship alone was 50 million US dollars. In particular, seeing a major breakthrough in all-electric integrated propulsion technology in China, the construction of the Ha/Er/Bina missile destroyer, which was supposed to start in 1986, is now delayed in the absence of news.

To say that the Navy has no other idea is to go to the grave and burn newspapers -- fools.

Hu Wenhai nodded and wrote on the paper: "If the Navy stops introducing the LM2500 gas turbine from the United States, it may be able to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain the manufacturing technology of Rolls-Royce's SM1C gas turbine." We are not far from the imitation of the TF41 engine, as the SM1C type gas turbine developed from the TF41, we have the ability to completely localize. ”

"When?"

"Within two years. ”

After reading Hu Wenhai's words, Secretary Chi nodded happily.

Rolls-Royce didn't know if it was an angel or a devil who wanted to swallow them. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
