"Shocked, huh?" Andrei Shamanov's tone was a bit smug: "Our goal is to increase the maximum thrust to more than 140kN......"

"Wait!"

Chen Geng frowned, he felt that something was wrong: "You just said it was 135kn, and now you say 140kn......"

"Uh......" Andrei Shamanov is like a child who has lied but has been exposed, and his expression is a little embarrassed: "Actually, ......"

"Huh?" The bad feeling in Chen Geng's heart became more and more obvious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The NK-8-8 is the latest model in the NK-8 series, and we have done all the preparations, but you know ......" Andrei Shamanov smiled wryly and spread his hands: "So ......"

I see!

The Kuznetsov Design Bureau has indeed completed the design work of the NK-8-8 series, and may have completed the final finalization and started to enter the production stage, but the Kuznetsov Design Bureau had a bad relationship with the deputy minister of the Soviet Ministry of Aviation Industry, and this latest modification of the engine probably did not obtain a production license, so it became an engine that had completed the finalization but had not entered the final production stage.

Just like the EA888 "gasoline-oil" hybrid engine made by Wolfsburg, it has developed from the first generation to the third generation, and that's probably it.

Chen Geng also calmed down, and he was more concerned about several other questions than the maximum thrust: "Andrey, is there a significant improvement in the fuel economy, noise, reliability, and stability of the NK-8-8 compared with the D-30K series?" ”

"Of course there is." Andrei Shamanov puffed out his chest and said proudly.

Chen Geng saw a hint of emptiness in Andrei Shamanov's words.

Also, perhaps according to the previous tests and tests, it can be proved that the NK-8-8 series is better and more excellent, with lower fuel consumption and better quality stability than the previous NK-8 series, but this is a product in the laboratory state after all, everything is the best, and it does not mean that the final industrial production stage is the same, and there is no actual feedback after a large number of installed uses, and it is obviously unreasonable to say that it is better than the D-30K series according to some things on paper.

What did you come to the USSR for? Isn't it just to give a good look at the Kuznetsov Design Bureau?

"Andrey, thank you for being honest with me," took a breath, looked at Andrei Shamanov, Chen Geng said seriously: "Well, that's the case, based on the needs of our country's reality, we don't need an engine with too much maximum thrust, I think a product with a maximum thrust of 100kn to 110kn is enough to meet our needs for a long time in the future, compared with the maximum thrust, our requirements for fuel economy, reliability, comfort and stability may be higher." ……”

Andrei Shamanov's expression was a little disappointed, and he looked at Chen Geng in astonishment: "Chen, what do you mean ......?"

Andrei Shamanov is thinking crookedly, thinking that he is more inclined to the Soloviev Design Bureau? Seeing Andrei Shamanov's reaction, Chen Geng felt a burst of joy in his heart: Do you have a sense of crisis? That's great.

"No, no, Andrey, you misunderstood," Chen Geng waved his hand, signaling Andrei Shamanov not to think too much: "Between the Soloviev Design Bureau, the Progressive Machine-Building Bureau and the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, we are more inclined to cooperate with the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, but I hope that we will cooperate in more space, not just one or two engines." ”

Andrei Shamanov blinked, a little bit didn't quite understand what Chen Geng meant, which was a bit too difficult for the old Maozi who "did it if he didn't agree with him": "Chen, what do you mean?" ”

"What I mean is obvious," Chen Geng said with a smile: "We Runhua Industry has money, Kuznetsov Design Bureau has technology, and technology research and development is inseparable from money, and similarly, without technology, money has no effect, if we can achieve a strong combination of capital and technology......"

Andrei Shamanov's eyes lit up: "That means we will have more technologically advanced, more fuel-efficient, more comfortable and more reliable engines to use!" ”

"That's right," Chen Geng smiled happily: "If our technology is advanced enough, we can even participate in international competition and compete with international aero engine giants such as General Motors, Rolls-Royce, Pratt Whitney, IAE, and CFM, and get a share of the international market." ”

Although I know that it is very difficult to achieve this step that Chen Geng said, the Soviet Union's industrial manufactured products have always been known for their simplicity and crudeness, even if it is an aero engine, a product that represents the achievements of a country's industrial technology, the Soviet aero engine can not get rid of the feeling of "simple and rough": under the same thrust level, the overall life of the Soviet engine, the first turnover, fuel economy, reliability, noise level and other almost all core indicators are slightly inferior to the Western aero engine giants.

Andrei Shamanov is well aware that for the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, as long as there is enough money to invest, these problems are not a problem, the only problem is that the Ministry of Aviation Industry of the USSR is unwilling to invest money in this area: the great Soviet Red Army soldiers do not care whether the noise is a little louder, and the heroic Soviet people do not care too much about comfort or discomfort, so we do not care about these details as much as those capitalist countries that are decaying and declining and only know how to enjoy themselves......

Specific to the current Soviet Union, in fact, there is no money in the pocket, as long as there is money, give the Kuznetsov Design Bureau some time, these problems can be solved.

"Chen, are you serious?" Andrei Shamanov said excitedly.

"This is something that is also good for our Runhua Industry, why should I object?" Chen Geng said with a smile: "However, the specific details of cooperation need to be discussed in detail later, and I only came this time for the first contact." ”

"Yes, yes," Andrei Shamanov nodded busily, "Chen, what else do you want to know?" ”

Chen Gengxin said that I also want the NK-25 engine provided by the Kuznetsov Design Bureau for the Tu-22M3 "Backfire" bomber and the NK-32-1 engine for the Tu-160 strategic bomber. But considering that Lao Maozi was choked enough to agree, he was very clever not to mention it, and asked instead: "Last time you told me that your Kuznetsov Design Bureau has developed two turbofan engines with large bypass ratios, which are NK-56 and NK-64......"

After Andrei Shamanov mentioned the NK-56 and NK-64 engines to himself last time, Chen Geng went back to find some information, and the final judgment result was that it can be considered that the NK-56 target is the CFM56 series of CFM and the V2500 series engine of IAE International, there are different models according to different needs, the maximum thrust covers from 98KN to 150KN, and NK-64 is equivalent to the RB211 series of Rolls-Royce. General Electric's CF6 series, Pratt & Whitney's PW4000 series, and the Soviets' own D-18T are all monster-class engines with a maximum thrust of more than 200kN.

RB211 level engine, after determining this, Chen Geng simply drooled: good thing! That's the real goodies!

Chen Geng knew very well that if he wanted to obtain the RB211 series, CF6 series, and PW4000 series engines, there was no possibility at all, and even if he wanted to obtain the D-18T from the Soviets, there was no possibility, but the NK-64 after the Kuznetsov Design Bureau still had the possibility of losing a small amount.

Sure enough, when he mentioned NK-56 and NK-64 with Chen Geng, Andrei Shamanov looked embarrassed: "Chen, NK-8 is fine, but NK-56 and NK-64 are not. ”

"Why?" Chen Geng looked puzzled, and asked knowingly: "If I remember correctly, the NK-56 and NK-6 were stopped by the Soviet government last time, because after the D-90 (PS-90A) and D-18T, the Soviet Union no longer needed the same type of aero engine, which was a great waste of resources." ”

"Uh...... Yes," Andrei Shamanov's face turned the color of a pig's liver: "But ......"

"Since this is the case, isn't it good that we cooperate with each other, abandon the domestic market of the USSR and compete in the international market, so that we will not compete with the Soloviev Design Bureau and the Progressive Machine-Building Bureau, and we can also export and create foreign exchange?" Chen Geng's face was puzzled: "Or did you not explain it to the relevant leading departments of your country?" ”

“……”

Andrei Shamanov opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, did he tell Chen Geng that I didn't mention to the Ministry of Aviation Industry that I didn't talk to the Ministry of Aviation Industry about not competing at home and earning foreign exchange through exports? Anyway, you Chen Geng didn't tell me last time that you planned to export.

"Of course, I can fully understand the concerns of the Soviet Union, but I think this is more due to miscommunication," Chen Geng patted Andrei Shamanov on the shoulder and said, "I don't think this matter is completely out of chance, maybe we can explain it to the Supreme Soviet together?" ”

"That's right......" Andrei Shamanov hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I can explain your meaning at the bureau party committee, and if the bureau party committee can pass it, then we will try." ”
