"Speed up?" Old Man Ma couldn't help frowning, a little embarrassed, "There is not much of a problem with the design, but Mr. Lin knows that the most important thing about aero engines is not design, but materials and verification...... Our country's material technology is very weak......"

According to Mr. Ma's idea, of course, it is to carry out the research work step by step, it must be admitted that the Yun 10 project of the year has a certain nature of the "Great Leap Forward" color, when the main grasp of the Yun 10 work, the old man Ma was also deeply affected, and now I think about it is also a headache for those laymen who don't know anything, before that, he was very glad that Lin Hongfei fainted such a boss who was born in technology, but now, He couldn't help but be frightened again: the boss won't be carried away by the previous results, right?

"Ma Lao, we're in big trouble," Lin Hongfei's expression was very solemn, "Pu. Do you know the news that Hui Company will withdraw their engineer technical team? ”

This news is naturally known to the old man Ma. Hui Company not only withdrew their engineering team, but even increased the price of the JT8D-200 series engine provided to the company by 50%, for which he also scolded the Americans for not being trustworthy for a while, he nodded, but still didn't understand, "This matter and ...... Well, what does it matter? ”

"Maybe you don't know too well. Hui Company has increased the quotation again, and on the basis of the 50% increase, it has increased by 50% again. ”

"What?!" Old Man Ma was dumbfounded when he heard it!

It's not a matter of doubling the original price, it's more than doubled! Follow Lin Hongfei before with Pratt. The Whitney Company agreed that the price of the JT8D-200 engine provided to the company was $1.5 million, an increase of 50 percent, and then a 50 percent increase on the basis of the post-growth period. That's nearly $3.4 million a unit, and the cost of two engines is already as high as $6.8 million! After being stunned, the rest of Old Man Ma was extremely angry, "These damn Americans are really unreliable!" ”

"When have Americans ever been reliable?" Lin Hongfei sneered, and then looked at Old Man Ma with an extremely solemn expression, "Old man, it's up to you now, if the engine problem is not solved, we will always be controlled by others." Today it's Pratt. The Whitney Company and Alcoa are coming to our necks, and tomorrow it may be Zhang San and Li Si, and the day after tomorrow it will be Wang Wu and Zhao Liu...... Ma Lao, you should know that this is really the case. We're in big trouble. ”

"I ......" Old Man Ma gritted his teeth, and intense anger flashed in his eyes.

Follow the previous work schedule. The imitation and improved D-30 engine will also be assembled as soon as the beginning of 96. After about a year of commissioning, the airworthiness certificate will not be obtained until the end of '98 at the earliest...... This is also because this engine is a fully validated engine, otherwise it would take at least 5 years for a single experiment, and at least 7 years for the certification time!

But now, I don't allow myself to work in a step-by-step manner. Yes, Mr. Lin is right, according to the normal development law of affairs, the project schedule formulated before is the most appropriate. But nine times out of ten, the world is unsatisfactory, for example, the current situation is like this, the Americans are taking advantage of the fire to rob at this time, and the company must not retreat at this time, but can only face the difficulties! In the past, the company did not have its own engine, so there was no way but to let others slaughter it, but now, since the company has this foundation, it is better to use this matter to catalyze this matter as much as possible.

"I'll try my best," Old Man Ma frowned and groaned for a while, and finally nodded slowly, this head nodded, as if it weighed a thousand catties, "But this matter requires the old man Shi and Old Man Huang to contribute together, well, Xiao Zheng also has to contribute." ”

The old man in the mouth of Mr. Ma is naturally a figure in the field of high-temperature metallurgical materials in the Republic of China, Taishan Beidou-like figures, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, Shi Xuchang, the old man Huang is one of the 35 top scientists who were restricted from returning to China by the United States that year, Mr. Huang Peiyun Mr. Huang, as for Xiao Zheng, he is also a well-known big man in the field of aluminum-lithium alloy in the field of metal research in China, Professor Zheng Ziqiao of the School of Materials Science of Central South University. Maybe it's possible to speed up the whole research process a bit.

"Good!" Lin Hongfei immediately decided, "I'll go to visit Senior Senior, Elder Huang and Professor Zheng, as long as their physical condition allows, I will ask them to come out to help preside over the overall work, if Senior Elder and Elder Huang's health is no longer allowed, then I will also ask them to be a consultant." ”

"That's fine," Hearing Lin Hongfei say this, Old Man Ma couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Old Man Shi, Old Man Huang and Xiao Zheng Ke are all heavyweights in the field of aviation superalloy and aviation aluminum alloy research in China, these people are the country's baby bumps, but nothing must happen, he is also worried that Lin Hongfei is young and has no seriousness, now listening to him say this, he is finally completely relieved, and said, "In this way, I will see if I can coordinate it again after I go back, Ensure that the entire parallel project is more closely connected. ”

Parallel engineering is the glorious tradition in the field of engineering and scientific research of the Republic, Mr. Ma is also the top expert in parallel engineering in China, and aircraft research is a super large project that requires the coordination of top concurrent engineering experts.

With Old Man Ma's words, Lin Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was already thinking about it, shouldn't he buy a batch of D-30 engines from the Soloviev Design Bureau and hoard them? Doing so can certainly effectively deter Pratt, who is preparing to take advantage of the fire. Whitney and BMW.Rolls-Royce, but it's a little bit of a deterrent, isn't it a little too expensive for everyone to do this?

————————————————————————

I don't know when the road started, a small piece of gossip began to circulate: not angry with Pratt. Whitney's malicious blackmail, Lin Hongfei has actually decided to stop working with Pratt. The Whitney Company switched to purchasing about 100 D-30 engines from Russia's Soloviev Design Bureau, or an equivalent number of NK-8-2 turbofan engines from the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, another well-known Russian aircraft engine manufacturer.

These two engines, D-30 is a turbofan engine with a thrust of 6000 kg to 7000 kg used on the TU-134 aircraft, and NK-8-2 is an aero engine used on the TU-154 aircraft, and the thrust level is roughly the same as the D-30KU engine used on the TU-154M aircraft, but these two engines, no matter which one, the bypass ratio, volume and overall size are roughly the same, and they can undertake the improved North County 100 large branch line/ The task of transporting small trunk aircraft.

Although after this news came, when Pratt. Whitney and BMW.Rolls-Royce, as well as Rolls-Royce, another giant company interested in supplying engines to Guqi Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., immediately verified with Guqi Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Guqi Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. firmly denied it, but the news spread as quickly as possible, and many people began to feel uneasy: Lin Hongfei denied it, but is there really no such thing?

The Americans and British, who have completed hundreds of years of commercial fraud, certainly do not believe Lin Hongfei's words, because there is already news on the Russian side that some Chinese seem to be secretly in contact with the Soloviev Design Bureau and the Kuznetsov Design Bureau. Although they did not figure out the purpose of these people's contacts with the Kuznetsov Design Bureau and the Soloviev Design Bureau, this is enough, it must have been done by the Chinese!

As soon as the news came out, Pratt, who had previously advocated a tough deal against Lin Hongfei and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Whitney, BMW. Rolls-Royce and its executives were instantly silent: How is this possible?!

"There is nothing impossible about this," in the face of his boss's inquiry, Sean's reaction was very calm, calm and even a little cold, "The Chinese are already using the latest Russian TU-154M passenger aircraft, it is said that the general response is good, the engine used on the TU-154M aircraft is D-30KU, the previous TU-134 aircraft also produced 852 units, most of them use D-30 engines, which shows that the D-30 series engines are reliable enough, And having already gained the trust of the Chinese, I don't think there is anything incomprehensible about this...... Well, if you talk about the shortcomings of the TU-154M aircraft, that is, the layout of the rear three engines, which causes the center of gravity of the aircraft to deviate backwards, this is probably the only shortcoming, but this only shortcoming, in the face of the low price of this aircraft, everything is nothing. ”

"So it's really possible for those damn Chinese to abandon Boeing and Airbus?" Pratt. The vice president of Whitney Company was a little anxious, he was the representative and banner figure who insisted on being tough on Lin Hongfei at the beginning, in his opinion, Lin Hongfei would eventually be unable to bear the pressure and bow his head, but now, how did the situation become like this?
