"This plan is very good, at least it seems to be much easier than our reverse localization of the FT-8 gas turbine, and it is based on the needs of China in the next 10 to 30 years. So, I think we can start to set up a project and study this project internally. ”

The old director has been in the field of aero engines for many years, and naturally has developed a pair of sharp eyes, and after figuring out the plan, he immediately shouted for the development of this project, and now it seems to be more reliable overall.

Only Yang Hui on the side was still smiling and silent, and the old director said something in front, as if he didn't need to say more, he just came this time to find a reliable industrial/marine gas turbine solution.

Whether it is the FT-8 gas turbine at the beginning, or the current CG2000 aviation refueling plan, as long as there is a reliable plan, this is enough.

While Yang Hui was watching from the sidelines, Chief Master Wu began to discuss some specific situations of the project with the old director.

“…… After we have completed the conversion of the CG2000 engine, we will not only need the power of the navy's warships, but also believe that other oil fields, power generation warfare, peak shaving, etc., will have this demand. In terms of power level, it will not overlap with the FT-8 gas turbine, so as to effectively improve our civil gas turbine product line. ”

In this way, Yang Hui also agrees that the gas turbines of United Aero Engine Company will be able to cover the 10 megawatt and 20 megawatt civil gas turbine market, and the future can be described as bright.

As for the military-grade 20-megawatt gas turbine developed by United Aero Engine in the future, it will have to be when. Anyway, I am afraid that it will not be possible after 2000.

Under such circumstances, the FT-8, which cooperates with Pratt & Whitney, is a good choice in the civilian market. Although we won't make much money on a single engine, there are signs like Pratt & Whitney. The number of orders received is definitely higher than that of United Aero Engines alone.

After all, in the 20 megawatt gas turbine market, the LM2500 is simply a cheating deposit, now let's let Pratt & Whitney fight the front, let's follow behind the first hibernation for a period of time, secretly accumulate experience at the 10 megawatt level, and learn the research and development and sales of gas turbines.

Thinking about this in his heart, it happened that Chief Master Yu also talked about this, and he gave an explanation.

"Now we are going to develop the CG2000 aircraft conversion project, but considering that the CG2000 has not yet been finalized. Although it is generally no longer a problem, I think it is better to be cautious. ”

This person, he is like this, after experiencing a failure, he must learn a lesson, especially a person at the level of a chief engineer like the chief teacher, they can go to such a height, which is not a smart person who is good at summing up experience.

After suffering from the failure of the turbofan 9 flight refueling before, after summing up various experiences, it is normal to be more conservative and stable in the development of new projects this time.

This is also a word-by-word explanation of the chief engineer's own thoughts. In his plan, it must be to take this opportunity to straighten out the development process of the republic's aeroderivative gas turbine, and to take a gas turbine from the initial conceptual design to the final plan for production.

In this way, he can see that others can retire peacefully. "So, we can't fully roll out the development work yet, but we need to start pre-working on some additional technologies for this engine." And the construction of supporting test equipment will be carried out, and the CG2000 will be determined to be rough after it is confirmed that there is no problem. You can take over the data to carry out detailed research and development work. ”

However, it has been 90 years now. Do you say Yang Hui is in a hurry? Of course, it's in a hurry, although the aviation refueling comes relatively quickly, but you still have to have it in five years!

Judging from this time, it will take 95 years to finalize, and whether it can catch up with a test ship 051B with a strong sense of testing at that time depends on the progress of research and development here.

This is Yang Hui's initial idea in his heart, he knows that the Republic in the mid-to-late 90s started such a warship, this is a warship with a strong sense of experiment, if the CG2000 refueling can be completed before this, install this test ship to test this power system, it must be the best.

However, Yang Hui seems to have forgotten something, in the Republic, although the 051 series and the 052 series are two destroyers, they have developed into the same tonnage class in the end, and even the firepower is not much different.

But the difference is precisely because the power system of the two types of warships is very different, 051 uses a steam turbine as power, which is backward, but it also means that people are more reliable.

This is also the reason why during the period from the 90s of the Republic to the beginning of the new century, when there were almost no new destroyers in the Navy, there were still orders to purchase the 051B and 051C warships.

That's because the power system of 052 can't find a source, at this time 051 is such a conservative destroyer design comes into play, although people are backward in terms of power, but it is still useful, and it is relatively reliable.

As a result, the last Navy placed an order to purchase Type 051B/C warships, as for the weapon system......

During that period, the Republic was the most popular Russian-made weapons at all, the Air Force purchased Russian-made fighters, transport planes, and helicopters, and the Navy also purchased Russian-made modern weapons, and purchased air defense weapons and digital chain systems in sets, and installed them on multi-type warships such as 051C and 052B.

In that era, a big reason why 051b/c and 052b were purchased at the same time was that they were constrained by the power system of warships, and they didn't see that as soon as the 052 series matured, 051c immediately stopped continuing to procure.

Therefore, the reason why the last face of the Republic chose to build a test ship based on the 051 platform instead of the 052 platform was because there were no gas turbines at that time, and if there were gas turbines at that time, 051B probably would not have appeared at all.

And if this plane can solve the gas turbine power system around 95, it will definitely be 052B instead of 051B that will be built in 95.

And it is conceivable that the 052B class that came out in advance will definitely be able to squeeze out all the orders of the 051 and possibly the modern class, and you must know that the Republic purchased a lot of miscellaneous warships of different types from 1995 to 2005.

First of all, 051B purchased one, then two 052B, and then two 051C, with four Hyundai-class ships in between.

Combined, these guys seem to produce up to 9 ships, but they have three different power systems, a total of four models, but the difference in tonnage between them is not huge, and even the weapon systems are not too different.

In this case, how else can you explain that these models are not very experimental and contingency in nature?

It's a lot of nonsense, back to the topic of the 420 factory, in the case that Yang Hui mistakenly considered that he would catch up with the 051B test ship in 95.

Only then did he hurriedly lie down and proposed: "Chief Master Wu, now you have to wait for CG2000 to go deeper before taking over the gas turbine project, and now the pre-research should be carried out, so I have no objection." ”

Staring at Chief Engineer Yu, this is also continuing to say later: "But our progress must be as fast as possible, now the United States will no longer continue to provide LM2500 engines, it is our opportunity, if things have other variables in a few years, it will be difficult to say." (To be continued.) )
