Chapter 253: The Deserted Olympics
This is how the land in the New Territories High-tech Development Zone, where the processing plant and the aero-engine engineering laboratory are located, was acquired.
Ambrera company in the New Territories Development Zone covers an area of up to 900 acres, which is very scary in Hong Kong, the land of projectiles, after getting it, was assigned to Ambrera Power Company by Ling Shizhe, of which the blade processing plant accounted for 50%, the research center accounted for 30%, and the remaining 20% of the vacant land, if it is to be used as an aero engine assembly plant, it is simply not enough, so Wang Yuanzhuo suggested to Ling Shizhe that part of the blade processing should be placed in Canada, and the vacated land would be used as an aero engine assembly plant.
"No, it's too early to consider the aero engine assembly plant now, and you only have two tasks at present," Ling Shizhe said to Wang Yuanzhuo with his finger: "First, lay a good foundation for aviation power, you also went to the air show, you also saw that the production and processing of aviation power parts, especially large and small blades, as long as we do a good job, it is still very profitable, so our first thing is to do a good job in the processing of aviation power parts, and lay the foundation for the future production of our own advanced aero engines."
Second, aero engines are known as the pearl of industry, how difficult it is you know better than me, especially aviation power materials, in the industry there is a generation of materials, a generation of aero engines. The upgrading of aero engines is related to new materials, without which any genius designer cannot design advanced aero engines. It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! So your second task now is to supervise the materials engineering laboratory to develop new materials for aero engines, and I will ask Tao Chengan to cooperate with you. Advanced aero engines are only possible with new materials.
As for the aero engine research you are currently engaged in, it is still in the stage of basic theoretical demonstration, right? β
Wang Yuanzhuo replied: "Yes, chairman, the engine information you gave is really advanced, I calculated, there is no ten or eight years of theoretical research and demonstration alone." It is simply not possible to enter the substantive research and development stage. β
Ling Shizhe said: "By the way, the company's first real aero engine is at least twenty years later, so there is no need to establish an aero engine assembly plant too early." Doing the current things well and laying a good foundation is what we should do now. β
"Chairman, I see what you mean, twenty years later. I will definitely hand over an answer sheet that satisfies you," Wang Yuanzhuo assured Ling Shizhe: "But relying on our current form, I have a new idea that I don't know if it will work?" β
"Say it."
"The turbofan engine is composed of a fan compressor, a high and low pressure reversing turbine nozzle in the combustion chamber, and other ancillary accessories, so I don't think we can use the RBL99-34R turbofan engine as a platform to verify the various components of our new aero engine?" Afraid that Ling Shizhe wouldn't understand, Wang Yuanzhuo took out a piece of paper and explained while drawing: "Take the small aspect ratio grazing fan that we are currently developing as an example, even if we have produced this kind of fan. If we remove the fan of the RBL99 turbofan engine and replace it with a small aspect ratio grazing fan, we can verify whether this kind of fan is good, and if it doesn't work, we will improve it little by little until the small aspect ratio grazing fan is fully mature.
In the same way, the centrifugal compressor was designed with large and small blades, and the RBL99 turbofan engine compressor was replaced separately to test our compressor technology. After the individual parts of the turbofan engine are completed. Finally, we carried out the overall design of the engine, combined the various components, and finally completed the development of the turbofan engine. β
Ling Shizhe understood that what Wang Yuanzhuo was talking about was the modular segmented R&D theory commonly adopted by developed countries in later generations. If the turbofan engine is regarded as a large system and large module, then the fan compressor combustion chamber on the engine reverses the high and low pressure of the turbonozzle engine numerical control system, which can be regarded as the various system modules of the turbofan engine.
The turbofan engine is divided into several modules such as the fan compressor combustion chamber, each module is designed and developed separately, and after several modules are developed, several modules are finally combined together. It's a brand new turbofan engine.
This is the aero engine design model commonly adopted by Western countries in later generations, and the advantage is that it will not be at a loss because the aero engine adopts more advanced technology. With segmented research and development, once there is a problem with the engine in the test, Kejia can know that there is a problem with that part of the engine at the first time.
For example, to test a new design of compressor, the original compressor of the turbofan engine is removed, replaced with a new design of the compressor, because the other parts of the original engine are mature and reliable, so in the test, we can intuitively know whether there is a problem with the new design of the compressor, and we can also know where the problem is, and then according to the problem, a little bit of improvement and perfection.
When the new compressor matures, the old compressor will be completely replaced as the standard equipment of this turbofan engine. Then, by analogy, through a component by component or a module by module, this method of layer by layer propulsion, the upgrade of the entire engine is finally completed. This is how the F119 in the United States and the GE200 turbofan engine in Europe are done.
This kind of research and development method, there must be a prerequisite, that is, to have a mature and reliable turbofan engine as the basis of the test platform, because with this platform, you can test the various modules and systems on the new engine on this platform, when the system is all completed, the new engine will be completed naturally, and the last work done by Kejia is optimization. This development method is also called the module sequential development method.
The basic platform chosen by Wang Yuanzhuo is the British RBL99-34R turbofan engine, and the reason why the American engine was not chosen is because the American engine is a big push, which is technically difficult.
Therefore, Wang Yuanzhuo chose a relatively low difficulty in the middle push.
In addition, the GE200 turbofan engine information given to him by Ling Shizhe was upgraded little by little on the basis of RBL99. Because the two engines are technically in the same vein, it is easier to implement.
"I understand your idea, but how did you get a British RB199 engine?" Ling Shizhe asked.
"This ......" Wang Yuanzhuo did not answer after a long time, if there is no RB199 engine as a platform, the module sequence development method he proposed is an empty word.
Ling Shizhe shook his head, Wang Yuanzhuo was still naΓ―ve. Completely forgetting about this approach, big companies like GE Pratt & Whitney Rolls can, but we can't, because they have their own turbofan engine platform. And Ambrera does not have such a platform, and the military engine is its sensitive business, there is not enough reason not to think about it, and if you don't get it, it will cause a commotion.
"Let's take it one step at a time." Ling Shizhe patted Wang Yuanzhuo's shoulder and comforted.
Aero engines are a long-term project in their own right. It takes twenty years for an engine to go from design to finalization. Maybe Wang Yuanzhuo felt that it was a long time, so he wanted to take a shortcut.
Also, he knew that Ling Shizhe had a deep relationship with the Canadian government, and wanted him to use this relationship to get some RB199 engines from the Canadian side.
Wang Yuanzhuo's little ninety-nine, how could Ling Shizhe not understand, so a rhetorical question was blocked, Wang Yuanzhuo would never say, aren't you on good terms with the Canadian government. Get some RB199 engines from him! If he dares to say this, it will be a complete two-five, Ling Shizhe will immediately withdraw him, and that boss will let a two-five be-
Ling stayed in Hong Kong for nearly two months before flying to Canada because the Olympics had begun.
The opening ceremony of the 21st Montreal Olympic Games was on July 17, Tang Huan came to Montreal a day early, as a leading figure in Canada, Ling Shizhe naturally could not be absent from such a major event. What's more, Raccoon Town, where Ambrella's headquarters is located, also belongs to the city of Montreal.
For the purpose of this Olympic Games, the Canadian government has mobilized the strength of the whole country and adopted many high-tech achievements. In order to promote his computer, Ling Shizhe also donated 50 million Canadian dollars for the Olympic Games.
But soon the money was returned, and more, all of which was used to buy computers and all kinds of workstations and servers made by Ambrera.
At the 1976 Montreal Olympics, the Canadian government made ingenious use of modern technology. The use of satellites to transmit the Olympic flame was an instant sensation, but it was later criticized.
The purpose of the traditional torch relay was to spread the Olympic ideals and spirit around the world, but Canada's approach has lost its original meaning.
After the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee made a decision: the future Olympic torch relay must be relayed.
Ling Shizhe sat in the audience and yawned, and set his eyes on the mascot of the Montreal Olympics, a beaver named amik, although it is very cute, it is destined to be lonely and lonely due to political disputes.
The scale of this Olympic Games is far less than that of the previous Munich Games, mainly due to the boycotts.
The boycott originated in Africa because of Nelson. Roli Herrahla. Nelson Mandela is engaged in a national liberation movement in South Africa.
At that time, South Africa was a British colonial country, and apartheid was practiced in South Africa during the period of white British rule.
This system was very unpopular and was opposed by all black people in Africa, and the South African regime at the time, in order to consolidate its rule in South Africa, invited the New Zealand rugby team to visit for a political show.
Africa's Supreme Sports Council has warned the New Zealand government that Africa will oppose New Zealand's participation in the upcoming Olympics if New Zealand is invited. But New Zealand has turned a deaf ear. Later, New Zealand sent a delegation to Montreal to participate in the Olympic Games, which caused strong resentment in Africa.
When the athletes entered, Ling Shizhe found the embarrassment of the Canadian government.
Only 88 countries and regions came to the Olympic Games, and the number of athletes participating in the Olympic Games was also the lowest ever, with a total of only 6,189 athletes, which is even less than the number of journalists (about 7,800).
Gabon, Gambia, Zaire, Madagascar, Malawi, Tanzania and the Central African Republic have all refused to send teams to the Montreal Olympics; Algeria, Upper Volt, Ghana, Guyana, Egypt, Zambia, Iraq, Cameroon, Kenya, Congo, Libya, Mali, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Eswatini, Sudan, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, and Ethiopia The sports delegation went to Montreal but withdrew from the competition shortly after the opening.
Ling Shizhe couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he knew that the Montreal Olympics was not the one with the smallest number of participants, and the next Moscow Olympics, because of the boycott of the United States, the number of participating athletes would reach the lowest point in history.
In response to the U.S. boycott, the mayor of Montreal, the host city, only sent a representative to hand over the Olympic flag to the city of Moscow at the opening ceremony of the Moscow Olympics.
Ling Shizhe glanced at the rostrum and found that Queen Elizabeth II, the Governor of Canada, and the Prime Minister of Canada had very unsightly faces, and his lips were all tightly closed, and he couldn't help but shake his head again.
It seems that the war in Africa is about to resume again, and the reason why there were frequent wars in Africa in the previous life is all due to the Europeans and Americans.

From July 17 to August 1, the Soviet Union won 49 gold medals in the one-and-a-half-month competition, and the second place went to the GDR with 40 gold medals; 34 gold medals for the United States and 10 gold medals for the Federal Republic of Germany.
Canada, as the host, not to mention the gold medal, did not even get a bronze medal, it was pure soy sauce, you must know that even North Korea won 1 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze, 4 medals.
The most prominent of this Olympic Games were the Soviet athlete Neligin and the 14-year-old Nadia. Comaneci scored 10 points against the sky, and the two of them almost shared all the gymnastics gold medals, becoming the two brightest stars of the Games. (To be continued.) )
