Chapter 168: Fifty Years of Overhaul (11/13)
Steady.
Very stable.
There are still no anomalies. Except for the terrifying sonic boom.
The phone is getting busy.
All confidential lines are on call.
One report after another keeps sending out.
One by one, inquiries kept coming.
Subsequently, the video surveillance of the scene was directly turned on and transmitted to many secret locations.
More and more people know that somewhere in the northwest, in a certain aero-engine test workshop, an ancient monster has appeared, which is breaking the world record.
No, to be precise, the original world record has long been broken.
Now it's setting a new world record.
"Are you sure, 500 minutes?"
"I'm sure. The trial has now been going on for 170 minutes. There is nothing unusual about the engine. A total of 8500 tons of fuel was consumed"
"Are you sure Chen Taiguang is on the scene?"
"Chen Taiguang, Sun Chaosheng, Miao Yongfeng, Gao Qiancheng, Pu Qiancheng and others are all there. β
"Where's Wang Buan?"
"He went to sleep. β
ββ
When Wang Buan woke up, it was already morning.
Looking at the watch, it just so happens that the 500-minute ultra-brutal test is coming to an end.
He came to the test shop.
The terrifying sonic boom continues to rage.
If you don't wear earmuffs, you won't be able to get close at all.
On the big screen, the clock counts down.
50 seconds
40 seconds
30 seconds
20 seconds
10 seconds
finally
The terrifying sonic boom is gone.
After a full 500 minutes of operation, the turbofan 6 shuts down automatically.
After 500 minutes of scorching at high speed, the turbo finally had a chance to rest.
The terrifying tail flame flow also gradually disappeared.
The crowd slowly woke up.
They struggled to remove the earmuffs.
"Director Chen, do you want to come for another hundred hours?" Wang Buan deliberately shouted loudly.
"Don't!" Chen Taiguang roared wildly.
A hundred more hours?
You're insane!
500 minutes is already a cost of tens of millions.
How much does it cost to run for 100 hours? Are you going to burn up all the fuel reserves at Yanzhou Airport?
"However, its performance is far from reaching the limit!" Wang Buan regretted.
"Enough, enough. Chen Taiguang hurriedly said.
"And what's your institute's evaluation?"
"Very good. Five. No, I'll give you ten. β
"Can't you give 100?"
ββ
Chen Daguang was speechless.
100 of them? What are you going to do?
Do you think it's a game? Five is already a record. Not to mention 10.
Everyone else shook their heads.
This Wang Bu'an is definitely deliberate!
If you change to other normal people, you will definitely not hold on to Chen Daguang firmly. Chen Daguang didn't offend him.
That's right, Wang Bu'an did it on purpose.
This is a very rare opportunity. An opportunity to remember.
He was going to use the turbofan 6 to make a name for himself in the Tyrannosaurus rex industry.
What is the most basic business of Tyrannosaurus Rex Industries?
Raw materials!
All kinds of raw materials!
However, the raw materials themselves do not speak. It also seems difficult to make vivid and creative ads?
So what to do?
Of course, it is shown through the end product.
Isn't the aero engine called the crown of the manufacturing industry? Let's use this crown to make a good article.
What is a hundred hours?
There will be a thousand hours, ten thousand more hours!
"Lao Chen, look" Sun Chaosheng looked back at Chen Daguang, his face full of anticipation.
Of course, he wanted to continue testing.
Continue testing up to 100 hours. See how it goes?
Now, the 500-minute test has been completed, which can be said to be a precedent for a domestic engine.
Even, looking at the whole world, it can be said to be a record.
However, the engine turned out to be fine.
That's right, it's okay to look at it with the naked eye.
It is still stable, and it continues to operate in a low-key manner. I didn't feel tired at all.
So, here's the problem
What is the ultimate lifespan of the turbofan 6?
How many hours does it last?
If there is no detailed data, how can the experiment be ended? The experiment was not completed at all
500 minutes is fine.
What about 100 hours? What about 1,000 hours? What about 10,000 hours? What about 100,000 hours?
There will be a time when the turbofan 6 will come to an end.
This data is still very valuable. Otherwise, how long should the maintenance interval of the engine be specified?
Or, as Wang Bu'an said, no maintenance at all?
What a fantasy!
"See for yourselves. Chen Daguang smiled bitterly.
He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the jet.
Over there, the ground was badly cracked, with a lot of spider-like cracks.
However, it was the extreme heat for a long time, which caused the reinforced concrete floor to change, and it was almost melted.
That's why it's essential to use a high-altitude test rig.
Only by using a high-altitude test bench can the test data be more accurate.
However, if it is an engine and the ground test performance is excellent, the results of the high-altitude test bench will not be too bad.
Even, some engines perform better at high altitudes than on the ground.
After all, the sky is wider, and there is a speed bonus.
When the ground inhales, it is a static inhalation. The air intake of the turbofan 6 draws in 130 kg of air per second. It's not easy.
In the sky, due to the extremely high speed, the difficulty of inhaling 130 kg of air is reduced.
Even at an altitude of 30,000 meters, the air is not particularly thin.
"Comrade Wang Buan. Chen Daguang finally took the initiative to speak.
"Hello. Wang Buan responded politely.
Wang Buan had no feeling for Chen Daguang's knowledge.
But there is still a bit of awe of this person's bones. After all, it was a special time.
In that stressful red era, it was impossible to withstand layers of pressure and resolutely oppose signing the false test data of turbofan 6.
At that time, he was put on various hats and locked up in a small black room.
Fortunately, thanks to the development of society and the progress of civilization, there is always no way to cover the light. He finally saw the light of day again.
"How long can the overhaul period of this turbofan 6 be extended?" Chen said.
"Fifty years. Wang Buan said lightly.
"What?" Miao Renfeng immediately screamed.
"What are you talking about?50 years?" Chen Daguang also said in amazement.
"Yes. Thirty years. Wang Buan emphasized lightly.
"Impossible!" Miao Renfeng screamed, "You are just talking nonsense. β
"I say fifty years is fifty years. In fact, I was conservative. Wang Buan said lightly, "Even if it is in service for a hundred years, there is no need to disassemble the machine." β
"You" Chen Daguang felt that Wang Buan was completely talking in his sleep.
Unfounded.
Shoot oneβs mouth off.
A hundred years of service? What a joke
The overhaul period of the best engine of the United States is only 15,000 hours. That's already the best data.
In fact, the usual maintenance is very frequent.
The maintenance requirements of the 35 fighter are very high. Most people can't do it.
You don't need to dismantle and dismantle, you always need to change the oil filter, you need to change the air filter, you need to replace the wearing parts, right? For example, guide vanes, turbine blades, etc
"No, you don't. Wang Buan shook his head affirmatively, "There is absolutely no need for fifty years." β
"You're crazy. Miao Renfeng snorted and said, "Nonsense!"
"Let's use the data to speak. β
"You!"
Wang Buan pointed to the turbofan 6 and said lazily: "You continue to replenish fuel and continue to operate in full afterburner." See when it's scrapped. β
Chen Daguang and Sun Chaosheng both looked at each other.
The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, both of them are shocked.
They all felt full confidence in Wang Buan's eyes. An undeniable self-confidence.
Speechless.
Here it is again.
Fifty years of testing? is simply impossible.
Who has that much fuel? It's not enough to bring in the entire country's storage fuel.
How much jet fuel is in the national strategic reserve?
"Since you can't test it. Then you have to accept my point of view. Wang Buan said with a straight face.
"Okay. Chen Daguang finally sighed helplessly.
What can he say now?
It can only be what Wang Buan says.
Otherwise, you can do experiments, continue testing, and continue testing until the engine is scrapped.
As long as the engine can be scrapped in fifty years, Wang Bu'an can be slapped in the face. Sweep him and his turbofan 6 directly into the garbage heap.
But no!
A 100-minute test costs 80 million.
How many 80 million can his research institute come up with?
"Vice Minister Liu of the Air Force Equipment Department is coming. Cheng Kailong suddenly said, "He wants to watch the thrust test." β
"Good, good, good. Chen Daguang suddenly received amnesty, and hurriedly ordered people to prepare.
Vice Minister Liu's appearance was so timely.
The thrust test will certainly not require a lot of fuel.
"Is it finally time for a thrust test?" Pu Qiancheng suddenly shook his spirits and couldn't take his eyes off it.
If you want to say that he cares most about the thrust of the engine, he is still a fire control expert.
You know, the thrust is related to the aircraft, and the load capacity of the aircraft is related.
And the carrying capacity of the aircraft is closely related to the weapon.
The larger the size of the aircraft itself, the more weapons it can mount.
And the greater the thrust of the engine, the more weapons can be mounted.
He fervently hoped that the thrust of the turbofan 6 would be the same as its lifespan, and there would be no upper limit. It had to break through more than 100 tons.
Of course, he himself is an illusion. Unpractical.
The design thrust of the turbofan 6 is 126 tons!
As long as Wang Buan can reach the specified indicators, he will be considered to have completed the task.
For the most advanced fifth-generation fighters at the moment, 126 tons of thrust is, of course, not enough. However, there are also fourth- and third-generation fighters.
It seems that 15,16 belong to the fourth generation, and J-8 belongs to the third generation.
The engine thrust of these fighters was not very strong. 126 tons is also very competitive.
What's more, the stability and reliability of the turbofan 6 are so perverted.
There are also super features that require little maintenance.
Do you think there is anyone who doesn't like it?
