Chapter 760 - Raising an Aviation Power R&D Laboratory
Let's talk about this engine R&D laboratory, the accurate name should be aviation power R&D laboratory. As the name suggests, it is the place where www.biquge.info power is developed for aviation aircraft, and this power is the aero engine. An aero engine is an engine that provides the power needed for aircraft to fly. At present, there are three main types, namely piston aero engines, gas turbine engines, and ramjet engines. (Just recently, the author browsed the news and learned that Hungry Country has made a certain breakthrough in this field of 'pulse detonation wave engine', so this should be the fourth type of aviation/space engine.) )
An aero engine is a highly complex and sophisticated thermomechanical engine that provides the power required for aircraft to fly. As the heart of the aircraft, it is known as the "flower of industry", which directly affects the performance, reliability and economy of the aircraft, and is an important embodiment of a country's scientific and technological, industrial and national defense strength. At present, there are only a few countries in the world that can independently develop high-performance aero engines, such as Laos, Russia, England, and France, and the technical threshold is very high.
The aero engine industry has the characteristics of high technology, high investment, high risk and high barriers, which is a very difficult bone to gnaw on, which can be said to be very difficult. The investment in the development of an ordinary single engine alone is 10-3 billion US dollars, and the time period is 10-15 years. Since the 60s, there are no more than 25 major manufacturers and suppliers in the world, and the global aero engine manufacturing is mainly concentrated in companies in developed countries in Europe and the United States. By 2011, the global aero engine market was worth about $75 billion. Among them, the output value of our national aero engine market is only 3.076 billion US dollars. It can be said that it is a huge market, and it is also a very rich market, in the face of such a big piece of cake, whether it is for the country or for himself, Jiang Chen wants to gnaw it.
However, this is extremely difficult, and according to relevant statistics, only the four aero-engine manufacturers of GM, Pratt & Whitney, France, Nikema and Rolls-Royce in England occupy 84% of the global market share. It can be seen that the high difficulty of this technology, and it is precisely because of this high difficulty that it has led to such a high monopoly. It is precisely because of the high difficulty of aero engine technology that our country has always been in a backward position in this regard, which seriously restricts all kinds of new fighter equipment. Although we have worked hard for several generations, we have relied on foreign aero engines for a long time until later generations. This poses a huge threat to our national strategic security, and aero engines have become one of the difficult problems that our country urgently needs to solve.
Of course, the reason for such a big gap and backwardness is also related to the national conditions of our country, which is an emerging country established in ruins, far less than the hundreds of years of technology, capital and talent accumulation in Europe and the United States. Compared with developed countries in Europe and the United States, our country has a pitiful amount of planning and investment in aero engine pre-research because of poverty. Although we are ashamed and brave and are trying to catch up, the developed countries in Europe and the United States have always attached great importance to the research and development of aero engine technology for a long time, invested a lot of money, and laid a solid foundation for them to occupy a leading position in the field of aero engines in the world through the continuous implementation of advanced aero engine technology research and verification plans. Therefore, if we want to catch up with them, we need to continue to work hard for a long time, and Jiang Chen also knows this very well.
That's why he decided to take the lead in this research, even though it was very difficult now. On the one hand, during this period, our country and European and American countries are still in the honeymoon period, so it is easier to obtain some relevant information and samples from these countries to conduct relevant research. The second one is the opportunity that Jiang Chen is waiting for a few years later. Although compared with Europe and the United States, the engine is more advanced and has an advantage, but the engine industry of the Soviet Union in the north is not bad, you must know that the engines of our country in later generations are basically purchased from two of the countries after the disintegration, and its technology is also the relevant heritage of the Soviet * period. In Jiang Chen's memory, it will soon usher in a great change, and then their various industries will be chaotic, and it is also during this period that a lot of products and technologies will flow out of it. It is even said that millions of dollars could even be purchased on the black market at that time, which shows the degree of chaos at that time.
Therefore, Jiang Chen wanted to plan to take advantage of a period of time to reap the greatest benefits for them, and the data storage center that Jiang Chen decided to establish was also prepared for this plan, otherwise it would not have been built so big. Moreover, this plan had already started a year ago, and the funds obtained from the stock market of the Japanese Kingdom had been divided into two parts by Jiang Chen, one of which continued to stay in the Japanese Kingdom, waiting for the opportunity. The other was transferred to England, on the one hand, to make an investment, and on the other hand, to prepare for this plan. In addition, some of the people assigned by Jiang Chen's time limit are now active on the northern border, and a few of them have become famous local masters. Now they are able to freely enter the territory of Su *, and they have a relationship with many people and structures, and even Jiang Chen has obtained some of their skills in the engine of the car through this channel. Of course, in terms of aero engines like this, there is no such opportunity yet, and these people arranged by Jiang Chen are still lurking, waiting for Jiang Chen's order.
And this aviation power R&D laboratory is the corresponding preparation made by Jiang Chen in advance for this project, no matter how good the technology is, it still has to be studied and interpreted, otherwise it is useless even if there is technology. Therefore, instead of rushing to build a laboratory after obtaining technical information, it is better to establish and develop it first, and when the time comes, just take it directly.
For this laboratory, Jiang Chen must hold it in his hands. As long as it is in his hands, then Jiang Chen will have the strength to compete with the international aircraft production giants, otherwise, he has no bottom in his heart. Of course, if this laboratory wants to succeed, in addition to sufficient funding, there are also talents from all aspects. Jiang Chen alone would definitely not be able to rely on them, so Jiang Chen hit Vice Minister Luo and these people who had already rectified the aviation system. In any case, the current research in this area is stagnant due to lack of funding, and relevant experts are idle. So why didn't Jiang Chen discuss with these people, dig them up, or buy them, even if they were rented or borrowed temporarily. As long as they agreed and people came, then Jiang Chen would be considered victorious, and he had the confidence to keep these people. Moreover, Jiang Chen also decided that as long as these people could come, then it was okay for him to suffer some losses in other aspects.
After finishing all this, Jiang Chen decided to rush home before the evening banquet started. Because today is Teacher's Day, Jiang Chen's mother is also a teacher, Jiang Chen wants to rush back to give a blessing: I wish all the teachers of the world, Happy Teacher's Day, I wish you a long and healthy life, and the world of peach and plum!
