Tianxin City, Hexi District production and manufacturing base.

General Manager Yang Xianfeng is coming back from the test workshop, just now, a total of 10 turbofan 21A engines delivered to Bombardier, Hexi District production and manufacturing base officially put into operation, the number of delivered engines is exactly 100 units.

Yang Xianfeng was happy in his heart, how long has it been since it was officially put into production, 100 engines, Yang Xianfeng seems to have achieved a very good result.

These 100 engines are all tens of millions of engines, such as turbofan 16, turbofan 17, turbofan 18 and turbofan 21 engines, and the lowest price is more than 20 million yuan, unlike factory E, where there are many engines of two or three million.

Yang Xianfeng secretly thought in his heart that the original choice was wise, to join Tianfeng Technology Company, and as the deputy general manager of Tianfeng Technology Company and the general manager of Hexi Manufacturing Base, his life has taken a step forward compared to before.

There was a feeling of complacency in my heart, and my steps couldn't help but be a little faster, and I walked into the lobby of the office building, and was about to walk towards the elevator, when a young female employee stopped Yang Xianfeng.

Yang Xianfeng has the impression that this is the staff at the front desk of the hall, the newly recruited employees a few months ago, more than 10,000 employees in the Hexi production and manufacturing base, about two or three thousand people are old employees who are transferred from the headquarters of Tianfeng Technology Company, and the rest are basically newly recruited.

With the old and the new, coupled with the training in place and relatively strict management, the Hexi production and manufacturing base has also successfully entered normal production, and has successfully delivered 100 engines.

"Hello Mr. Yang!"

Hearing someone call him, Yang Xianfeng stopped and said with a smile: "Oh, Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Zhang said: "Mr. Yang, the 'Black Ghost' drone has been reported on the Internet. And everyone has a high evaluation, saying that it is the most advanced drone in the world, is this drone really manufactured by our company? ”

Yang Xianfeng smiled happily and said: "Xiao Zhang, this is indeed a very advanced UAV developed by our Tianfeng Technology Company, not long ago, it is completing a transcontinental flight. The performance was outstanding. ”

Xiao Zhang said happily: "Ah, it's really our company's drone, great!" ”

Yang Xianfeng saw that Xiao Zhang was so happy, and couldn't help but say: "Xiao Zhang, our Tianfeng Technology Company is very large, Chengnan Base, have you heard of it, our drones are produced and manufactured in Chengnan Base." ”

Xiao Zhang said: "I've heard of it, it was originally produced at the Chengnan base!" ”

Yang Xianfeng smiled slightly. Then he walked towards the elevator, and after entering the elevator, Yang Xianfeng thought to himself, the turbofan 21B engine of the 'Black Ghost' drone will be manufactured in our Hexi production and manufacturing base in the future.

The two turbofan 21B engines of the first engineering prototype of the "Black Ghost" UAV are manufactured at the headquarters of Tianfeng Technology Company, and will definitely be produced and manufactured in Xihe District in the future.

Aero Engine R&D Center.

Li Tianfeng was looking at the outline of the design technology sent by Sun Xiaoping, which was a research and development task assigned by the military. Tianfeng Technology Company was required to develop an excellent power for the "China Aegis" destroyer.

The destroyer "China Aegis" currently uses gas turbine engines imported from Ukraine. Each one uses two gas turbine engines with a total power of 13,000 horsepower.

On the one hand, it is because of imports, and on the other hand, because the gas turbine engine has poor fuel performance, low fuel utilization, and the engine is relatively rough, and the military is not satisfied.

RQ800 and RQ2000 gas turbine engines developed by Tianfeng Technology Company. The performance is very good, the military is very satisfied, no, and is ready to let Tianfeng Technology Company develop gas turbine engines for the "China Aegis" destroyer.

Since receiving the research task last month, Tianfeng Technology Company has started the research and development work. At present, the design technical outline has been completed and is being sent to Li Tianfeng here for review.

The previous RQ800 and RQ2000 gas turbine engines belonged to small and medium-sized gas turbine engines, and now the engine developed belongs to large gas turbine engines, with the engine code "RQ7500".

The RQ7500 engine has the same design style as the previous RQ800 and RQ2000 gas turbine engines. The core part is basically the same, based on the RQ2000 gas turbine engine, with a scale-up design.

For example, the combustion chamber part is similar in structure, but the size is different, and the combustion chamber size of the RQ7500 engine is much larger.

The engine also features an advanced digital fuel regulation system that allows the power output to be adjusted from 1,500 hp to a maximum of 9,000 hp.

The "China Aegis" destroyer uses diesel-fired hybrids, that is, two diesel engines and two gas turbine engines, which are powered by diesel engines when sailing at low speeds and gas turbine engines when sailing at medium and high speeds.

This is mainly done because of the low-speed cruising state, using a gas turbine engine as power, which is a bit wasteful and not cost-effective.

Li Tianfeng knew that the imported Ukrainian gas turbine engine, developed in the seventies, used a mechanical fuel adjustment system, and the fuel performance was very poor when it was in a low-power state.

The RQ7500 gas turbine engine adopts an advanced digital fuel regulation system, which provides very good fuel performance and high fuel utilization even in a low-power state.

After reading this design technical outline, Li Tianfeng said to Sun Xiaoping next to him: "Mr. Sun, if our gas turbine engine is used, the diesel engine of the 'China Aegis' destroyer can be saved." ”

Sun Xiaoping said: "It can be completely omitted." ”

Li Tianfeng nodded, and then said: "I just read the design technical outline, there is basically no problem, you can start a comprehensive design work according to this." ”

In the past, there was a successful experience of RQ2000 and RQ800 gas turbine engines, and Sun Xiaoping and other design and technical personnel were also experienced.

The design technical outline was successfully passed, Sun Xiaoping immediately launched a comprehensive research and development work, this is a strong technical force, a large scale of design and development team, Li Tianfeng is very assured, I believe that everyone can design this engine.

Li Tianfeng does not intend to ask about the specific design process, nor will he provide you with design sketches, but is just ready to make the final check when the design is completed.

The "Black Ghost" UAV, after the perfect completion of the intercontinental flight, after a little inspection, began a series of tests and verifications.

At the invitation of the military, Li Tianfeng came to the capital again, on the one hand, to report to the military top brass about the situation of the "Black Ghost" drone, and on the other hand, to sign a formal order contract with the military.

The military is very satisfied with the "Black Ghost" UAV, the first batch of orders is 10 "Black Ghost" UAVs, this is a UAV, not a fighter, the first batch of orders for 10 aircraft, Li Tianfeng was pleasantly surprised.

The price of each "Black Ghost" drone is equivalent to about 200 million US dollars, and the total value of 10 UAVs, including supporting control systems, is more than 200 million US dollars.

Li Tianfeng was very satisfied with such a price, and the military was naturally even more satisfied.

The U.S. Global Hawk drone costs about $300 million, while the Black Ghost drone is more advanced than the Global Hawk, but the cost is much lower, about $200 million, and everyone is happy.

When he was in Mr. Wei's office, Mr. Wei also praised Li Tianfeng, saying that Li Tianfeng had a good view of the overall situation, did not ask for sky-high prices, and was a person who made great contributions to the military and national defense construction.

The contract was signed, Li Tianfeng was in a good mood, and went to Zhang Haiping's office to sit down.

The two drank tea and chatted, and the relationship between old friends was not necessarily too restrained, it seemed very casual and relaxed, and the topics of the two chatting were also very extensive.

After chatting and chatting, he talked about the "Black Ghost" drone, Zhang Haiping praised Li Tianfeng again, and then told Li Tianfeng a message.

Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, our 'Black Ghost' drone is currently very famous, both at home and abroad, very well-known, a few days ago, some countries said they wanted to buy our drones. ”

Hearing this, Li Tianfeng's heart moved, and then asked, "Minister Zhang, which country is this?" ”

Zhang Haiping did not hide it, saying that this is an oil-producing country in the Middle East, and Li Tianfeng knew when he heard the name of the country that this is a big oil-producing country, and its relations with China are not bad, but it is obviously bad with the United States.

Li Tianfeng said: "I didn't think it was this country, they did need our drones under US sanctions, but if they wanted to buy it, they needed at least $300 million a one, and it was a simple version." ”

Zhang Haiping said with a smile: "Mr. Li, of course, it can only be a simple version, otherwise, I will react to the high-level." ”

Li Tianfeng said: "Minister Zhang, then thank you, I think the high-level can use this as a means of trading, after all, they are a big oil producer." ”

Zhang Haiping nodded, and then said, "Mr. Li, then it's decided, wait for my news." ”

Li Tianfeng and Zhang Haiping chatted for a long time, and when they came out of Zhang Haiping's office, Li Tianfeng thought in his heart, someone wanted to buy the "Black Ghost" drone so soon.

Although it is said to be a simple version of the "Black Ghost" UAV, it is not far from the Global Hawk of the United States in terms of performance, or close, the stealth performance is slightly worse, the range remains the same, and the electronic countermeasure system, optoelectronic system, radar system, etc. are also slightly worse.

The export-type "Black Ghost" drone, Li Tianfeng thought about it for a while, and he had a plan in his heart, if it could really be exported, it would be good.
