Chapter 200: The engine of the Lufthansa 1
Eric, who had digested it for a long time, finally cleared his mind, and he didn't expect that he would not be in the office for half a month, and the impact of the Lufthansa 1 would push the German aviation industry to a higher point.
"Okay, let's talk about the current one, I originally planned to sell the BF-1 to the outside world, after you said this, the engine used is too good, let's slow it down first." Eric is also very helpless, he really wants to make some extra money for the military, but this engine is too good, and selling it is simply adding to his own blockage.
"However, although the BF-1 is no longer on sale, it is still possible to castrate it, so let's continue to use which engine was originally planned to use, and the model will be positioned as the BF-2, and you will look at the weapons. However, the BF-1 will definitely not be able to use the RM-30 anymore. Thinking that there would be no planes to sell for the time being, Eric left disappointed.
After a twenty-minute drive, Eric came to the R&D area of Lufthansa 1, where even Eric could not count the bright and dark whistles, although it was easy to be targeted, but it also avoided the opportunity to be infiltrated by those who wanted to sneak in.
Junkers was wearing a white overalls and a white dust hat, and Eric just wanted to laugh. After getting closer, Eric gave Junkers a hug and said, "I thought I saw a doctor waiting for me." ”
"There's no way around it, that's the rule here, you have to wear this dress wherever you go." Junkers said helplessly.
"Why? I don't have such a rule. "It's true that Eric doesn't have that rule, and there are certain places, but there is really no rule that you have to dress everywhere.
"It was prescribed by Minister Kluger, one set per person, to be handed in when he left." Junkers' tone was noticeably not good.
"Oh, I see." Eric instantly understood, this is to prevent outsiders from entering as much as possible, but he does not take into account the feelings of the R&D personnel.
"Bear with me, I'll tell him to cancel it when I see him." Eric was still relatively easy-going, and the fact that Junkers was able to be invited by him to preside over the project was enough to show his place in Eric's heart.
"I still don't need it, I'm used to it now, don't bother, don't come up with any ideas." Junkers declined Eric's kindness, apparently fearing that some bad idea would not be beautiful in the future.
"How's the plan going? I just heard from them at the airport that Dinah sold the AF-990? Eric still can't figure out why he wants to sell the AF-990, it's too risky, it's like a 19th-century space station.
"That's what I proposed." Junkers was also surprised to hear what Eric had heard about why Dinah had sold it.
"You? Why? Junkers is a businessman after all, and Eric is not sure if it was Junkers who came up with a proposal to share after coming into contact with this engine and did not dare to take it alone.
However, he felt that Junkers should not be such a person, otherwise he would not have asked Junkers to be the chief designer.
"990 is good, but... How to describe it? It's just not practical, Mr. President, do you understand what I mean? "Junkers couldn't describe it for a while, it was difficult.
"You're saying 990 is too expensive, aren't you? This is expensive, not only the cost, but also the materials, man-hours, etc., right? Eric knew what Junkers meant, and he hesitated when he took out the AF-990 to see what the Junkers would look like when they saw the AF-990. Could it be the first time the natives have seen muskets?
"It's true, it took at least half a year to build the other four based on the prototype of this engine, and that's because Mr. President has prepared a lot of materials." Speaking of this, Junkers had to sigh and ponder, they were also born as entrepreneurs, and Junkers' technology was very different from that of the Eric Arsenal.
Seeing Junkers' lost appearance, Eric was also a little unbearable, it's like you are playing the same game, playing the same difficulty. Junkers first came into contact with this game, and he still played a mode that did not have a save function, a reading function, and could not be repeated, and honestly crawled and rolled. And Eric is different, it is equivalent to holding countless copies of the perfect clearance strategy, and also opened a cheat, although this cheat is still subject to some restrictions...
"Don't compare, don't compare, you have to compare, don't compare with me..." Speaking of which, Eric blushed a little, what do you mean? Do you still think Junkers is not qualified to compete with you?
"Ah, don't get me wrong, I mean we have different development paths." Eric thought for a moment and said, "AF focuses on scientific research, all the investment is in this aspect, with a large amount of idle funds provided by other companies to revitalize, Junkers is different, it is still mainly industrial, and there is no other economic source, so naturally it cannot be compared in technology." ”
But Junkers always surprised Eric, "I also studied, but I did it in the class, and I opened a Junkers engine company, focusing on technology." ”
"Huh? OK··· Good thing..." Eric is really speechless, this really has nothing to do with what he just talked about, but almost all of AF's high-end scientific research technology comes from ready-made design drawings, or it is a very complete reference material, almost no detours, and the speed is countless times faster.
Aside from the fact that there would be some resistance to the material, the design problem would be almost non-existent, and the material would be solved by the Dresden Institute of Science.
The two of them walked through several enclosed intervals until they reached the underground workshop.
This was originally used to secretly produce weapons, but after the war, the Eric Industrial Park sold all the equipment, and the underground was emptied, and for the sake of secrecy, it became the assembly hall of Lufthansa No. 1.
"Where are you guys? How do you get it? Eric was really worried about this, because he had designed a place that didn't have an exit to bring a behemoth like the Lufthansa 1 back to the surface.
"The First Lady is already ordering someone to start construction." Junkers looked at Eric like a monster and seemed to ask, how long have you not slept with Dinah?
"Ahhh yes, I think she said it. That... Let's keep looking. Erik's face was not red and his heart was not beating, but he was a little uncomfortable to speak.
Remembering that he didn't go home for half a month for the sake of the Navy, how could he know these things.
Eric followed Junkers to the control center, a newly built salient covering an area of 100 square meters for surveillance and command. Junkers wouldn't normally be here as the chief designer, and Eric walked to the window and looked down, where a dense crowd of people in white overalls was working around the plane.
Although the data of this plane was determined by himself, but when he saw the real thing, he still felt that this plane was really big.
"Let's go down and see, we can't see the details on it." Eric was eager to get up close and personal with the behemoth.
Eric asked as he walked down. "I just looked at it, and it doesn't seem to have wings?"
"Yes, because of the site, the wings can only be assembled outside, and a larger site has been built on the ground than here, otherwise it will really not be possible to assemble the wings here." Junkers added, "It's also because the engine hasn't been finalized yet, and all four options have their own merits." ”
"Don't use the AF-990?" Eric asked.
"The stability of the AF-990 is not good, and we have tried to run it at full power several times and after 10 hours have all sorts of failures, which is not certain considering that it would take 20 hours to fly from the German mainland to the east coast of the United States. And the weather conditions on the ocean are changeable, and stability is the first priority. Junkers explained.
"What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of the four options?" Eric intends to choose one for himself and set the tone sooner rather than later.
