The test driver was stunned, but still habitually pressed the button to spray ice chips.

Of course, this action doesn't make any sense, and the ice squirting goes on all the time. The water mist around the turboshaft engine is getting thicker.

It seems like another century has passed.

Finally, everyone heard a burst of alarm bells, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew-"

Even Jiang Xinwei couldn't help but raise his right hand, then touched his hair awkwardly and looked at the commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief, Ma Jin, had just given a superfluous order, but now he stabilized his mood and confirmed that it was time for the end of the ice spraying, so he shouted loudly: "Stop spraying ice!"

Hearing his order, the test driver, who had been prepared for a long time, calmly pressed the button to stop spraying ice.

The sound of the engine instantly became high-pitched, and the load was immediately reduced.

At this time, an expert who came to supervise the test on behalf of the relevant departments came over and said to Jiang Xinwei with a smile: "Jiang Dong, do you dare to continue the sandblasting test?"

Jiang Xinwei hadn't answered yet, and Ma Jin blurted out, "Just now, don't test the engine?"

The representative smiled and said, "If you can successfully complete the sandblasting test under such circumstances, we will have this engine! How many units you produce, how many units we will buy!"

Jiang Xinwei was not excited by his words, but quietly looked at Ma Jin.

According to the test process, after the engine attacks the ice spray test, it should be stopped immediately, the engine should be comprehensively tested, the engine should be transported to the assembly workshop, each part and each part should be inspected, and special attention should be paid to the damaged or problematic blades to be replaced, and then assembled, in order to carry out the sandblasting test.

After all, helicopters are used on earth, and it is rare to enter the desert immediately after fighting in an icy and snowy place, and after a battle in the ice and snow, how can there be a non-overhaul?

Therefore, this representative is obviously a bit of a strong man, deliberately multiplying the danger, and making the engine work with illness.

However, if this is also possible, it shows that the performance of this engine is very good, far beyond people's imagination. The benefits of doing this test are even more enticing: the authorities underwrite all the engines, which is great news.

Ma Jin did not immediately respond to Jiang Xinwei's gaze, but said: "Let the engine run in the current state for ten minutes first, and if there is no abnormality, the sandblasting test is being carried out." ”

Wang Xiaoli next to him was anxious, and hurriedly said: "No! No! This condition is too harsh." After a five-minute ice spray test, those leaves will have some damage, and then a more rigorous test is too risky. ”

Other experts were not in favor of such a risk, and some even glared at the delegate, believing that this man had deliberately come to find fault: You are going to destroy our engines before you stop?

Jiang Xinwei said to Ma Jin: "If the operation is normal for ten minutes, how likely do you think it is to successfully pass the sandblasting test?"

Ma Jin hesitated, looked at Wang Xiaoli, and asked, "Mr. Wang, you can come." ”

Wang Xiaoli said to Jiang Xinwei: "It will not exceed 60 percent...... , but once damaged, tens of millions of dollars can be wasted. ”

Jiang Xinxu asked the representative, "Do you agree that we will run for ten minutes first?"

The representative smiled and said, "You don't have this confidence?"

Jiang Xinwei said: "This is a temporary change in the test process, and we have to be cautious. Once the engine is damaged, it can no longer be used for later tests, and we don't know how well this engine will perform. It was only possible to start over with a new engine. ”

The representative smiled and said, "Okay." Then run at rated power for ten minutes. ”

Ten minutes of rated power operation is said to be very ordinary, and everyone should feel relaxed. However, when people knew that the sandblasting test was about to take place, everyone became more nervous than before, looking at the engine outside the bulletproof glass like looking at a gas tank burning in a blazing fire, and fearing that it would not be able to withstand the pressure inside and explode.

The test driver in charge of the button operation was so nervous that his lips trembled, and his back, forehead, and even palms were covered with sweat.

He exhaled heavily, rubbed his hand on his clothes again and again, wiped the sweat from his palms, looked at the operation panel in front of him with resolute eyes, and quietly waited for the order of the commander-in-chief Ma Jin.

Jiang Xinwei saw that Ma Jin and Wang Xiaoli were nervous, so he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry so much. Something was going to happen, it exploded, we hid in bulletproof glass, it's fine. ”

Wang Xiaoli smiled bitterly: "Jiang Dong, are we worried about ourselves? We are worried that our test data will lose their effect, and we are worried about losing tens of millions of yuan." ”

Jiang Xinwei smiled: "It's okay." If something happens, I'll compensate you five times the amount of this loss. If you can withstand the continuous sandblasting test this time, I will reward you with 50 million, and you will share the 50 million with the meritorious people. The bonus I'm talking about is an extra bonus and isn't included in the rewards that should normally be given to you. ”

"50 million yuan?" the representative asked, dumbfounded, "You have so many awards, which is more than the total funding for many of our scientific research projects." ”

Jiang Xinxu said: "But we have also achieved scientific research tasks that many scientific research institutions have not completed. ”

Wang Xiaoli shook his head and said, "Jiang Dong, we didn't mean that. We just don't think it's worth the risk, helicopters don't have to deal with this in their lifetime......"

Jiang Xinwei said: "Don't talk nonsense! Let's start, I believe in you." ”

If this sandblasting test venture is successful, the turboshaft engine will be finalized at least a year earlier! A year may be nothing to the ordinary, but for scientific research institutions, it is the degree of being able to stand in an advantageous position so that others can only catch up, and it may also be a valuable weapon to shorten the distance with those competitors who are running ahead.

A year is too important. In fact, not to mention a year, even a month is also precious for Guichang Aviation Machinery Factory, just the manual capital is tens of millions. Now the monthly salaries of the backbone experts and backbone scientific and technological personnel here are tens of thousands, some of them are hundreds of thousands, and the products are released a month in advance, can the savings be less?

So, Xie Ziqi wants to gamble!

Time passed minute by minute, and the data displayed by the computer monitoring the status of the engine was normal, whether it was Ma Jin or Wang Xiaoli, or Jiang Xinwei, and the test driver, they all slowly put their minds at ease.

Everyone else is no longer so worried.

In fact, since Jiang Xinwei decided to test the car with sand, everyone else has reluctantly accepted the reality: even the boss himself is not afraid of losing this money, what else can we say as a part-time worker?
