Chapter 447: The Undying MTU
After the dust settles on the engine tender for the MPC-75 airliner, other issues are no longer so exciting, and the subsequent agreement between the three parties on the common interface between the engine and the aircraft will naturally take some time.
This requires three parties to participate in the formulation, after all, each has its own different demands, the only advantage is that the current MPC-75 and Southwest Science and Industry-MTU are new newcomers, naturally there is no historical habit of design, as long as how to quickly set the general interface, what should we do, I think there should be a lot less war of words.
Yang Hui is now more fortunate that he also brought a technical consultant this time, and this technical consultant still has two brushes: Jiang Hepu, who is also a relatively capable aero engine R&D talent in the previous face.
Although the final result is not good, and even the reasons for the failure can be more or less counted on the head of this person, but it is all expedient measures in a special period, and it cannot be said that he is wrong in the era of copycats, but it can only be said that the impact of the environment on people is only.
The design of the core machine in this plane has completely changed under Yang Hui's intervention, and even the chief engineer has changed, and the last chief engineer Jiang Hepu has now become Mr. Wu Zhonghua.
To let Jiang Hepu, who still has some ability, continue to be silent, and this still silent talent is very coincidentally in the second institute of southwest science and industry, as for why this talent has been dormant in the southwest science and industry, this has to talk about this resume, people are also a member of the glorious participation in the construction of the third line back then, and now it is normal to work in the second institute.
When the high-end talents in the entire second institute were busy with the project, Yang Hui also took out this talent who was still usable and used it first. Maybe there will be a completely different result from the previous one.
So, after Yang Hui left this time, it was natural to leave this Jiang Hefu behind, he needed to discuss the issue of the standard interface with GM and Xifei, as long as this project can be done well, there will naturally be various opportunities for him.
After the situation here is settled, Yang Hui is naturally preparing to return to Southwest Science and Technology. But what people didn't expect was that Rouse, who was supposed to go back to Germany to organize the final development and testing of the CG-2000 cold-end components that MTU was responsible for, followed Yang Hui to Southwest Science and Industry at this time, and the reason was naturally either treachery or theft.
Yang Hui asked clearly the reason why MTU followed him back to the ravine this time, and then he had to sigh at MTU's persistent pursuit, as well as his slow self-confidence, under Yang Hui's previous instructions, MTU was still so persistent, there must be their hole cards.
At this time, Yang Hui didn't say anything more, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth. This time, let's see what MTU is going to do, and what to face is always what to face.
After returning to Southwest Science and Industry, Rolls quieted down, and the issue of letting MTU invest in the small-thrust piston engine under Southwest Science and Industry also stopped.
"General Manager Yang, now that we are all here, you have to believe that our MTU is absolutely sincere to come to cooperate with you, for this we are even willing to take out the 1200 horsepower tank diesel engine that your country needs, and now we hope to visit your small thrust piston engine development unit. As long as it meets our requirements, we can sit down and talk about it carefully. ”
When it comes to this. Rouse's face was full of sincerity, at least Yang Hui couldn't see that he had any additional ideas, and when things came to this point, Yang Hui had no choice, and it was reasonable for MTU to ask for a visit, and this kind of request was really impossible to refuse with the current cooperative relationship between the two parties.
"Okay, I'll take you to the small-thrust piston engine production unit that we have just built now. This is definitely the most dynamic one of the current small thrust piston power system production units in our country. ”
Saying that, Yang Hui took MTU and his party to leave the Southwest Science and Industry Guest House and go to Guiyang City. Due to the strong profitability of this unit, there is no fixed plant because of time.
So after the difficult years of renting other units in the first few years, because Southwest Science and Industry has reached an agreement with the Guiyang Municipal Government, it has won a large vacant land in the suburbs of Guiyang City near the direction of Pingba.
As the civilian product business of Southwest Science and Industry, the small thrust piston engine development unit has also followed the pace of the titanium alloy processing base to settle in this aerospace city, and has now been completed and put into production.
Under the leadership of Yang Hui, the group of MTU also came to this aerospace city under construction, and in addition to the infrastructure project in full swing, rows of neat factories appeared in front of the group.
The door is written: Southwest Science and Industry Piston Power Branch, indicating that this is everyone's destination, because this is not a unit that manufactures military products, the security system is not too strict, because of Yang Hui's leadership, just after a registration, everyone entered the factory.
At this time, Yang Hui briefly introduced the specific situation of the current piston power plant: "This is our piston power branch, due to some special reasons it can not be called a company now, but there is no problem. First of all, it has a scientific research team of 230 people, and it is still expanding rapidly, and the two factories on our left are responsible for manufacturing products, one is the final assembly production of our 750 engine, and the other is the final assembly of the latest 125 engine. ”
After a brief introduction to the current situation, Yang Hui did not plan to take MTU's people to see the R&D center, but directly took people to the production center, where Yang Hui could let MTU see the "original" production method.
Motorcycle as a large-scale use of trading tools, the Republic of the market demand in the eighties is absolutely explosive growth, in the case of 10,000 units, it is required that the Southwest Science and Industry Piston Engine Factory can quickly provide market needs, assembly line production is a must.
It is in this situation that the Southwest Science and Industry Piston Engine Factory here can meet the needs of the market, but in view of the actual situation of the Republic now, when designing the production line, Yang Hui finally chose a semi-automatic production line with a high degree of localization.
The manufacturing process required by this small thrust piston engine is not so perverted, and it is most suitable for the current use when manual and semi-automatic production, on the one hand, there is no need to import production lines, on the other hand, it can provide jobs, and the unit that can provide a large number of jobs in this year is definitely a good unit.
However, this is indeed a bit backward and even ancient in the eyes of MTU, and it is indeed disappointing that this kind of engine with low manufacturing process requirements can achieve a higher degree of automatic production, and now it is indeed a bit disappointing that a large amount of manpower is still used.
This was originally Yang Hui's meaning, hoping that after MTU saw the production of the piston engine factory, he would be able to retreat and give up the idea of the piston engine factory. But Yang Hui obviously underestimated the ability of MTU, and there are always capable people who have found some frustration from various situations.
"Very good production line design, although the degree of automation of the production line is very low, resulting in a large number of manpower for production, but after I just asked a few workers, I found that this production line mode should be the most suitable for your national conditions now. I've also seen the most critical aspects of quality control, and I have to admit that your quality control has reached the level of the German in the early eighties, which is remarkable. ”
Hearing this, Yang Hui's heart sank, after all, it was still seen that the large piston engine branch now uses a large number of artificial nature is the most in line with the national conditions, but it is definitely not suitable for large-scale industrial production.
The most difficult thing to control in large-scale industrial production is the quality problem, after all, labor can never compare with the stability of machine production. Therefore, Yang Hui deliberately put the quality inspection problem in the most important position when building this production line, and has been complained by the workers for this reason, but this is a must.
Now that MTU is tired of it, not only can it not dispel MTU's ambitions, but I am afraid that it will be more coveted by the piston engine factory, which is really a typical example of counterproduction. (To be continued.) )
