Indeed, as the deputy director of the Air Force Equipment Department, Wu Zhenguo is very familiar with the situation of the D-30KP small duct ratio turbofan engine used by the only large transport aircraft equipped by the Air Force: Il-76 and Il-76, although the D-30KP turbofan on the Il-76 is relatively fuel-efficient, but the reliability and stability are really good, although it cannot be compared with the commercial high-thrust turbofan engine in Western countries in terms of overhaul interval and easy maintenance, but compared with the Soviet-series engine used before, It was really a heaven and an earth.

As for D-90A, although I haven't seen it in person, but according to some of the things I've heard over the years, its reliability is really not good, and there are frequent small problems that come out.

The most important point is that the reliability of military engines, especially military aviation engines, is always in the first place, and before the reliability and safety of new equipment are not determined, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, the troops would rather use relatively backward but more reliable old-fashioned power, which is understandable, even the old American army, which is the most powerful in the world...... You're in the first, but it's three days and two ends, what's going on?

There is such a thing as a "hangar queen", one is enough, and the republic at this stage cannot afford to raise a "hangar queen", but despite this, he is still a little unwilling, "but D-30K is too backward......"

"Within 10 years, we are confident that we will develop a high-thrust commercial/military turbofan with a bypass ratio of 4 to 4.5 and a thrust level of 150KN on the basis of D-30K; Within 20 years, we are confident that on the basis of D-30K and D-36, we will develop a more advanced three-rotor 150KN large-bypass ratio high-thrust turbofan, and engines above the 200KN level can also build prototypes. ”

"Really?!" The eyes of Wu Zhenguo and She Jizhong, who were still indifferent just now, instantly widened.

"Can I joke about this kind of thing?" Lin Hongfei's face also became rare and serious, "We don't require the state to provide all the R&D funds, as long as the country can achieve a bowl of water like AVIC First Group and ensure continuity in policy, I dare to make a military order!" Lin Hongfei straightened his chest. Loud voice.

"This ......"

When Lin Hongfei seemed so confident, She Jizhong and Wu Zhenguo hesitated a little, seemed to be a little worried, and the two glanced at each other, "Mr. Lin, you can talk about it, but there are many companies ...... before."

Lin Hongfei is wondering, he made such a statement, why didn't Wu Zhenguo and She Jizhong turn around happily, but looked weird? Now I finally understand: in the past, those scientific research units and research institutes in the country did not do less such things. When the state issued a research task, they tried their best to win research funds, but in the end, they shirked their failure to complete the research task for one reason or another, and the two were worried that they would encounter such a thing...... Even if Lin Hongfei played a package ticket, to some extent. As long as the two of them report this matter, it is equivalent to the two of them endorsing this matter.

"What should I be the reason for. It turned out to be because of this ......," Lin Hongfei smiled. "Minister Wu and Minister She, have you forgotten the biggest difference between our company and AVIC First Group?"

"Huh?" She Jizhong and Wu Zhenguo blinked: Is there a difference?

Without waiting for She Jizhong and Wu Zhenguo to answer, Lin Hongfei replied to himself, "The biggest difference between our second group and the first group is that our second group is self-responsible for profits and losses, and it loses. More than half of it is due to my Lin Hongfei's money, and in the same way, the funds invested are also invested in strict accordance with the proportion of shares held by both parties, and my Lin Hongfei will always invest more money in the second group than the country. A group is not afraid of losing money. Anyway, if they lose money, there are no holes in the state finance, even if they don't produce a single part a year, the wages that should be paid to them cannot be less, the leaders of a group are not doing well, and they are terrific and then change the unit, no matter how serious the mistake is, the great thing is to retire early for the elderly, and they have no loss of a dime; ”

"But this is not the case with our second group, although the country has to pay for the loss, more money can be taken out of my Lin Hongfei's pocket, I, the chairman of the second group, is almost for life, and the entire second group is almost equal to mine, I also plan to rely on this second group to make some milk powder money for my son, how can it be like the leaders of the first group?"

Co-authored two groups are just used to make milk powder money for your son? Then your son is too expensive, right? Wu Zhenguo and She Jizhong were speechless for a while, but at the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief: Lin Hongfei was right, he really forgot this most important point, the second group can't afford to lose, they can enjoy all kinds of benefits and subsidies from the state, but they must make a profit, they must make a profit, and if they want to make a profit, they must take out the strength to develop.

"Comrade Hongfei, are you sure? You are sure that within 10 years you can come up with a super D-30K with a bypass ratio increased to 4 to 4.5; Can you come up with a high-thrust turbofan of the 150KN and 200KN classes with a bypass ratio of 4.5 or more in 20 years? When he began to pay attention to Lin Hongfei's words again, Wu Zhenguo, the first deputy minister of the Air Force Equipment Department, trembled...... It was only after personally using these large transport planes, headed by the Il-76, that the Air Force truly realized how important the large transport planes and high-thrust engines were to the Air Force's capacity building.

"I've said it all, I can make a military order!" Lin Hongfei muttered.

Wu Zhenguo's face flushed with excitement, he waved his fist, and slammed his fist on the table, "There is no need for the military order, Comrade Hongfei, my old Wu is here to pack a ticket with you: as long as you let the relevant departments of our Air Force follow up the whole process of the whole project, and the whole project will be carried out smoothly, who dares to make a trip for you, our brother of the Air Force will blow up his whole family by flying a plane!" ”

Flying a plane to bomb his whole family is of course just a joke, but the meaning is undoubtedly clear.

"Of course, even if Minister Wu doesn't say that we have to do this, not only your air force, but also the comrades of the civil aviation system must follow up, such a large investment, if only our army can digest it, the price of that engine will ......" Lin Hongfei shook his head and said, "I don't dare to think that your air force can buy several transport planes in a year's military spending, and I don't want our planes to become the same as the American XB-70 bomber." ”

"Haha......" Wu Zhenguo laughed.

He knew what the joke Lin Hongfei was talking about:

It is said that in the fifties after the end of World War II, when the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union reached its first climax, the United States decided to build a "double 3" intercontinental strategic bomber, double 3, that is, a flight altitude of 30,000 meters, a cruising speed of Mach 3, and then there was a North American Airlines B-70 "Valkyrie".

In order to achieve the grand goal of "Double 3", the cost of the B-70 "Valkyrie" has also reached sky-high prices, and it was already as high as $750 million a piece when the first prototype was built in the 60s. So what was the concept of $750 million at the time? The cost of the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Enterprise" in the world, which was commissioned by the US Navy in 61 years, was only "measly $450 million", that is to say, the cost of the two "Valkyries" that year had exceeded the cost of the three Enterprise's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers......

It is estimated that this nuclear-powered global formation with the same cost as the sky is not worth a Valkyrie with the same cost as a god......

We might as well imagine that when a certain senior naval officer of the US Navy inspected this purely nuclear-powered fleet, he was majestic, high-spirited, and complacent, and just when he thought that Lao Tzu was invincible in the world and unparalleled in the world, and that he could go up and kick two feet even if he saw a dog that was not pleasing to his eyes, he saw the "Valkyrie" in the arms of his Air Force friend......

Looking back at the fleet under his command that immediately changed from a "local tyrant" to a "deflated three" fleet, what kind of frenzied and crazy mentality would it be? As long as you are aware of this, you will be able to understand why the US Navy and Air Force are so hostile, and why the people who know how to know the Navy are shouting in the Pentagon: If this trend continues, in a few decades, the US Air Force will only be able to buy one aircraft a year in military spending......

In the same way, AVIC No. 2 Group's R&D investment is so high, if it only relies on a small order from the Air Force to make a living, we will not mention the aircraft specially developed for the little brother of the Air Force, and the cost of such an engine alone is estimated to be almost tens of millions of dollars...... For an army whose financial investment in military spending is still very weak, this is tantamount to the "Valkyrie" and the US Navy.

However, when Lin Hongfei said this, Wu Zhenguo felt a lot more comfortable, no matter who it was, when he knew that he could buy what he wanted most at a relatively cheap price, he would be in a good mood, Wu Zhenguo immediately patted Lin Hongfei's shoulder and reciprocated, "Since Brother Hongfei is so polite, then you can't be ambiguous when you are a brother...... In this way, if you really plan to install this engine on a civil aircraft, we will do the work on the government's side, and there must be subsidies or something, and we are such a big country, it is just that we could not produce large planes before, and if we can produce large planes ourselves in the future, how can we always let Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell Douglas, these eight calves fly in our sky? ”

"Old Wu, you don't know what to do, right? Mr. Lin and his company's first jet aircraft had already made its first ground taxi. She Jizhong said with a smile, although Lin Hongfei didn't talk to him much just now, but as the head of the Ministry of National Defense's Arms and Equipment Department, how could he avoid him in these things? It is excellent to be in a mood.

"What?" Wu Zhenguo was shocked, and looked at Lin Hongfei in disbelief, "Brother Hongfei, is it really fake?" (To be continued......)
