Chapter 238: I'm going to the United States

Now the person in charge of the K8 engine project in charge of Hongdu has come to the base, and the base is short of manpower, so it is natural to drag Yang Hui out, as for Yang Hui's original plan to see the progress of the side plate technology, it must only be delayed indefinitely.

Yang Hui came to talk about the engine problem with a middle-aged man in his forties, Yang Hui has no impression of this person, I am afraid that he is an unknown middle-level technician or manager.

Yang Hui warmly received him, and after lunch in the cafeteria, an exchange began.

"Secretary Yang, right, I heard Chief Shi say that you are long admired before I came! Let me introduce first: Huang Che is the person in charge of the Hongdu Plant of the new training aircraft engine project that our two units are working on, and now there are some things to discuss with you. ”

Being said to be admired for a long time by a middle-aged man who is nearly twenty years older than himself, Yang Hui always felt that something was wrong, but thinking about the urgent engine problem this time, Yang Hui didn't care so much.

"My name is Yang Hui, Secretary General of Southwest Airlines Science and Industry United Company, and this time our junior and intermediate training aircraft cooperation project is another big project of our new company, so we also attach great importance to the introduction of this engine."

Before the conversation, Yang Hui had roughly read the conversation records provided by Hongdu when they had preliminary contact with Garret, and roughly analyzed, Yang Hui came to a conclusion that the introduction may not be nothing, I am afraid that this is still the Garrett company is not satisfied with the price, and it does take a lot of twists and turns to introduce.

Of course, Yang Hui also has his own little Jiujiu for this project, if it weren't for the gear transmission technology, Yang Hui would not bother to care about this engine problem.

You need to know that it is not too difficult to imitate a small thrust engine. In the previous life, the K8 that the Republic later used for itself copied the AI22 small thrust engine.

The reason why Yang Hui does not choose to imitate this road now, but chooses to introduce it at a higher cost. The main reason is to get the first-hand design information of gear transmission technology, after all, gear transmission technology is an absolute niche technology.

Now the republic is completely without any experience in the gear transmission of turbofan engines. If you take the liberty of copying it, I'm afraid you won't be able to play with it. This is also the reason why China chose to imitate AI22 instead of copying K8 in the design of the original TFE731 engine in the last life.

So now Yang Hui can only continue to work this technology, and it will not work without spending money.

"Team Leader Huang, I looked at the record of the negotiation with Garrett and found that the main reason for the lack of success in the introduction is that the price you gave did not meet the requirements of Garrett, right?"

Yang Hui's words are almost clear, where did Hongdu and Zhuzhou factories get so much money, these two factories smashed pots and sold iron, and also borrowed some funds from the newly established four major state-owned banks, and finally managed to make up 50 million yuan.

Remember, it's RMB. It's not a dollar yet, and Garrett is naturally reluctant to sell the technology for this little money, although this is a small thrust engine with a low technical content, but it is impossible to sell it at such a low price.

As Yang Hui thought, Huang Che smiled bitterly and agreed, and pouted: "That's right, this is the case, I also know that the money is not enough, so now we can only come to you for help, or we can only give up the plan to introduce a localized engine." Directly purchase the finished engine for use. ”

Hearing this, how can Yang Hui do it, he finally has a fairly good civil engine technology route, and Yang Hui must not allow it to give up now.

Ruthless. I feel that this thing still has to continue, but it really can't be done this time, and the base will participate in the introduction of this engine together, anyway, the net profit of $150 million earned by transporting missiles this time is still there.

Yang Hui believed that he explained this. It is not a problem for the base to invest some more funds to take this engine down.

If it doesn't work, Yang Hui plans to settle for the second, as long as he can get the gear transmission technology. But I'm afraid this is a little sorry for the Zhuzhou factory.

However, Yang Hui believes that as long as the base has the gear transmission technology. Then in the future, the Zhuzhou factory can start to copy the TFE731 engine, which can be regarded as a way, and this is a bit of a pit for Garrett Company.

After thinking about it so much, Yang Hui felt that it would be better to continue this project:

"This will not work, we are completely optimistic about the future of this new training aircraft jointly developed by us, and the engine must be in our own hands, and it must not be controlled by others. In this case, I will go back and apply to the base leaders when the time comes. ”

Yang Hui's words can be regarded as giving Huang Che hope, the engine is controlled by others, Hong Du also knows that it is extremely dangerous, and naturally there is hope to seize the opportunity, and it is best to produce it by itself.

This time, Huang Chelai is to discuss this issue with the 0011 base, if the 0011 base can support it, then Hongdu must be willing to continue to do it.

Of course, there is another problem with coming to the base this time, and now the negotiation team of Garrett has left and returned to the United States, leaving only a few engineers to be responsible for communicating with Hongdu about the design and installation of the aircraft's engine compartment.

Then if we want to continue the talks, I am afraid that we can only go to the United States to talk: "Secretary General Yang, there is another question, if we want to continue to talk about the introduction of engines this time, I am afraid that we will have to go to the United States to talk, and the US negotiating team has already returned." ”

Yang Hui was still thinking about how to deal with this matter, but he didn't expect this to be a situation again: the negotiation team of Garrett Company has actually left, and it seems that we have to go to the United States this time.

Thinking about going to the United States again, Yang Hui suddenly thought that there was an important event in the United States in 85, which seemed to be related to the financial resources of the base, and what was the specific problem

Yang Hui thought about what he had forgotten, but it made Huang Che think that Yang Hui was thinking about how to convince the leaders of the base, and Huang Che instantly felt that this Yang Hui was sitting in such a high position at such a young age, and it was really hard work.

"Well, since that's the case, then I won't bother, I will continue to wait for news here in the next few days, and I hope that your side can come up with a result as soon as possible."

After speaking, Huang Che was ready to leave, Yang Hui didn't have much to do in his heart, and sent Huang Che to the guest house, Yang Hui thought about the problem while walking, until he walked to the test runway of the base, and suddenly a model airplane passed in front of him, and then he suddenly remembered the problem.

Looking at the past again, sure enough, Yang Hui saw the model aircraft that had landed, and walked over to see that it was not what Yang Hui expected: the F14 model, which is the ultimate product of the variable-swept wing model aircraft proposed by Yang Hui, and it is also the most gold-absorbing model aircraft that Yang Hui expected.

Let's not talk about the model airplane, Yang Yue, who was on the side, had already woken up Yang Hui, and had not seen Yang Hui for several months, Yang Yue thought that this guy had been dragged to dig coal, and now he finally saw Yang Hui, which can be regarded as a solid heart.

"Yang Hui, where have you been lately? Why are you in the mood to come here today to watch our model airplane test flight? ”

Seeing Yang Hui here, Yang Hui also remembered that he still had a woman who was always concerned about him at the base, to be honest, he really forgot about this when he was busy in the first few months.

Quickly explained, regardless of whether it worked or not: "Haven't you been too busy lately?" I didn't even go to the test run of the new engine of our second institute last time, and there were many things to do. By the way, you have now built the model aircraft of the F14? ”

Yang Yue originally followed Chief Master Yu to engage in Super Annihilation Seven for a period of time, and later when Super Annihilation Seven made a model, he pulled Yang Yue out to make a model aircraft, and then Yang Yue has been making model aircraft.

Because she has a new idea for this model aircraft, Yang Yue feels that she will do a good job in the future, and the potential is unpredictable, it is too great.

Yang Yue didn't know that Yang Hui's arrangement of model aircraft business for the base was a nail planted for the future outbreak of drones, and now it seems that Yang Yue has been able to keenly notice this.

"Yes, we have made the F14, the ultimate fighter you said earlier, the ultimate fighter with a swept wing, just before the April of 85 that you set, and now it happens to be the end of March." (To be continued......)
