"Of course. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Geng replied: "For me, there is no difference between the original drawings and the copied drawings. ”

That's just as well!

In all scientific research units, no matter how high the penetration rate of computers, there must be a physical backup of any data, and this physical backup is saved on paper media, for Runhua Industry, getting a physical backup of the copy is actually no different from getting the drawings -- it is a little troublesome, the entire Kuznetsov Design Bureau has dozens of tons of paper materials, and if you want to copy so much data, it is a manual work, and you can't do it too arrogantly.

But Andrei Shamanov actually knew in his heart that Runhua Industrial was willing to take only the replica to design a situation for Kuznetsov, otherwise he could have done nothing and waited for a while, and at that time, I am afraid that he would not need to pay much price, and he would be able to pocket the knowledge and wealth accumulated by the Kuznetsov Design Bureau over the decades.

Thinking about this clearly, despite the sadness in his heart, Andrei Shamanov lowered his head: "I have no problem, I will try my best to cooperate with you to convince everyone to ......"

Smiling slightly, ignoring Andrei Shamanov's self-deception, Chen Geng set the third condition: "The Kuznetsov Design Bureau needs to help me develop an aero engine - not within the framework of our previous cooperation." ”

"Helping you develop a completely new engine that is not part of the scope of the partnership?"

"To be precise, we worked together to develop this engine, but everything about this engine belongs to Runhua Industry, and you must keep it a secret and not report it to anyone...... Rest assured, this is the turbofan engine used in a small civil aircraft,"

Looking at Andrei Shamanov, whose face gradually became vigilant, Chen Geng said with a relaxed face: "A small turbofan engine with a maximum thrust of 450 kg to 500 kg, Runhua Industry is ready to start an entry-level light jet business jet business jet business - if the Kuznetsov Design Bureau is willing to take on this private job, we will talk about the relevant requirements for this engine." ”

In a word, Chen Geng set the research and development requirement of this matter as a "private job" that the Kuznetsov Design Bureau privately received.

A small turbofan engine with a maximum thrust of 450 to 500 kg? Andrei Shamanov smiled bitterly in his heart: what kind of aircraft would need such a small thrust turbofan engine?

Based on the take-off thrust-to-weight ratio of 0.18 to 0.25, which is most commonly used in civil aircraft, this means that the maximum take-off weight of this aircraft is between 2000 kg and 3500 kg.

Chen Geng said that it was an entry-level business jet, but Andrei Shamanov was not stupid, and what he knew was that even the TFE731 turbofan engine used in the Lear-35 light jet business jet that Chen Geng often used had a thrust of about 1,650 kilograms.

Even if it is an ultralight business jet with a maximum take-off weight of no more than 3,000 kg, taking into account the user's requirements for speed, the maximum thrust of a single engine is 900 kg, and a civilian turbofan engine with a thrust of 500 kg will not be used at all.

What kind of aircraft would use an aero engine with such small thrust? As a scientific research manager from a fighting nation, Andrei Shamanov instantly had one thing in his mind: long-range cruise missiles!

Only cruise missiles with a range of more than 1000 km will need such a small-thrust, fuel-efficient turbofan engine.

But even if he knew that Chen Geng wanted a turbofan engine used in a cruise missile, Andrei Shamanov was going to pinch his nose and admit it, as long as Chen Geng was not playing some bad ideas: "Okay, no problem, but what benefit can the Kuznetsov Design Bureau get?" ”

There's no way, who makes it easy to be the uncle in this era of hard press.

"$1,000,000!" Chen Geng raised a finger: "As long as the R&D can be carried out smoothly, in addition to all the R&D expenses are responsible for Runhua Industry, and the salaries and nearly all of the R&D personnel are provided by Runhua Industry, we can also give the Kuznetsov Design Bureau nearly 1 million yuan every year." ”

Damn, $1 million a year!

Andrei Shamanov was instantly excited!

Two years ago, Andrei Shamanov would not have put $1 million in his eyes, but now it is different, now the Soviet Union is in a stormy situation, let alone $1 million, since March, the Kuznetsov Design Bureau has received less than 20% of the normal allocation from the central government every month, but even so, this allocation has been broken, three months ago, the Kuznetsov Design Bureau has not received a penny of allocation, if Runhua Industry is really willing to give another 1 million US dollars a year…… It is completely possible to discuss with others and put this money into your own pocket, anyway, this is the "private work" that the Kuznetsov Design Bureau took over by itself, and the salaries and bonuses of the R&D personnel are borne by Runhua Industry.

Thinking that he could get forty or fifty thousand dollars, Andrei Shamanov suddenly became short of breath: "Chen, are you sure?" Is there really $1 million a year? ”

"I'm very sure," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively: "As long as the entire project is carried out according to the schedule, 1 million US dollars per year will not be less, as for how the Kuznetsov Design Bureau uses this money, it is your own business." ”

Damn, it's pie in the sky!

With Chen Geng's promise, Andrei Shamanov was so excited that he couldn't wait to hug Chen Geng and shout, "Ula!" He resisted the excitement in his heart and asked in a trembling voice, "What about ...... Are there any time requirements? ”

"Five years," Chen Geng said, "five years must be completed and finalized." ”

"Five years?" Andrei Shamanov immediately frowned: "5 years is too short......"

"There are quite a few models of small turbofan engines in the USSR, right?" Chen Geng smiled treacherously: "You can find the one with the most performance that matches my requirements, and then modify it."

"But ......," Andrei Shamanov smiled bitterly: "The small turbofan engines that the Soviets had in their mouths were only 200 to 300 kilograms, and the 500-kilogram ones were not at all, and if you insist on engines of this thrust class, you can only develop them from scratch." ”

"That's ......" Chen Geng frowned: "Then how much time will it take?" ”

"7 years! 7 years at least! ”
