Chapter 337: All in the Middle
Ohain listened while thinking non-stop, and when Xiao Weiguo finished speaking, he also understood the truth, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he couldn't hide his excitement, he grabbed Xiao Weiguo's hand as soon as he could, almost not frightening Xiao Weiguo. If it weren't for what Ohain said next, he would have thought that this Ohain was a comrade!
Ao Hai was so excited that he couldn't speak, and he said loudly: "Mr. Xiao Weiguo, I, you, I want, ah, that's the case, I want to wait for me to get my doctorate, can I join your company?" If nothing else, I just wanted to fulfill my dream of designing my own jet engine. I don't want to be paid, as long as I can work on my jet engine! ”
When Xiao Weiguo heard this, of course, he was also ecstatic in his heart, after all, Ohainke is a talent with infinite potential. As a 21st century ordnance expert, Xiao Weiguo knew how hard it would take to dig up an expert back then, and it was really rare to send it to his door like this! Of course, Ohain was not famous at this time, but he knew that it would not be long before this young man would become famous in the aviation industry, and he would be able to make a name for himself at that time.
It's just that he can't be too eager now, otherwise it's not worth scaring Ohain away. So Xiao Weiguo forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked unfazed, and just said lightly: "Oh? Mr. Ohain wants to join our Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex? Your choice is very wise, our Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, which has the best R&D platform in the world, is a place that many young people want to come to. Of course, since you are a student of Professor Ball, you are also a doctor of physics. Naturally, we are very welcome! The door of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex will always be open to you! ”
Ohain said excitedly: "Ah, I can finally join the Dragon Soul Armament, thank you, Mr. Xiao Weiguo!" ”
Whittle saw that he couldn't miss the opportunity, so he hurriedly grabbed in front of Xiao Weiguo and said loudly: "Mr. Xiao Weiguo." Does your Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium really recruit aero-engine designers? I'm Whittle from England and you haven't heard my name, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I'm working on jet engines myself, and my design has been patented. Don't know if I can join your company? ”
What the? Two at once? Xiao Weiguo was so happy! What a godsend! Historically, the two inventors of jet engines rushed to join their own Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, isn't this a happy event that fell from the sky? With the addition of O'Hain and Whittle, his Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex can make great strides in the field of aero engines. In addition to turbojet engines and turboprop engines, turboshaft engines and turbofan engines are also very tempting, and if turboshaft engines and turbofan engines can be developed. So what other company can compete with the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex in the field of aero engines in the future?
Expand a little further, with turbojet engines, turboprop engines, turboshaft engines, and turbofan engines, then the gas turbine for ships and tanks can be slowly developed, and then the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry can show its strength in shipbuilding and the king of land warfare tank manufacturing, only at that time, the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium can be called a super Ordnance Empire!
Of course Xiao Weiguo knows. At this point, Whittle was almost in a desperate situation. Whittle graduated from the Royal Air Force Academy with the rank of second lieutenant and was assigned to the Central Flying School as a training instructor. End of 1929. The young Whittle designed a turbojet engine. The rector had a discerning eye for talent, attached great importance to his designs, and organized a symposium at the military headquarters to evaluate Whittle's entire design. At the time, most people were still stuck in the traditional piston engine model, believing that Whittle's design was a whim, "too advanced. Whether it is feasible has not been proven", "too many difficulties, too much investment". Eventually, the Department of Aviation rejected Whittle's design.
In the three years since obtaining the design patent, Whittle has been actively campaigning. Attempts were made to persuade government departments or aircraft engine companies to develop turbojet engines, but they were all rejected. By this time, Whittle was already a father of two, and the family was so financially burdened that he could not even afford to extend the patent by £5. Whittle had to prepare to abandon his idea. Whittle later recalled the situation: "It was so far that the mountains were at the end of the day! ”
Now that Whittle has come to the door, of course Xiao Weiguo has no reason to refuse, being able to recruit some more top talents is definitely a big deal for the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Complex, and the talent project is an important task that cannot be ignored.
Xiao Weiguo said with a smile: "Mr. Whittle, I have heard of your name, I didn't expect you to be so young!" Our Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium is open to people, especially aeronautical engineering talents, as long as there are people with real skills, we are very welcome! So, Mr. Whittle, you can find a time during this air race and let's talk about it separately before deciding on it, what do you think? ”
Whittle nodded again and again: "Okay, Mr. Xiao Weiguo, I'm happy to do it!" ”
"Mr. Xiao Weiguo, I don't know if I can join your company!" A somewhat familiar female voice sounded in Xiao Weiguo's ears!
"Ah, Christina, why are you here too?" Bai Wanrou said in surprise on the side.
Xiao Weiguo then remembered that the owner of this voice was Miss Christina, a beautiful reporter for the New York Times. This beauty seemed to be a little interesting to herself at the beginning, Xiao Weiguo hurriedly said: "Oh, Miss Christina, of course I welcome a big beauty like you to join our company!" It's just that our temple can't accommodate your big Buddha!"
Christina is still the same young and beautiful, at this time she looked resentful, and said to Xiao Weiguo: "Mr. Xiao Weiguo, are you degrading me or really praising me?" At the beginning, you said that we were good friends, but you didn't even notify you when you got married, you are really not enough friends! But just now I was serious! How about it, you just say whether to take me in or not! ”
Xiao Weiguo smiled bitterly and looked at Anna and Bai Wanrou, only to see that the two of them didn't look away as if they had nothing to do with themselves, did they want to test me? Xiao Weiguo smiled: "Oh, Miss Christina, what kind of errand do you want to do in the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Complex?" ”
Christina said: "Of course, it's still the old business of ****!" I hope to join the editorial department of your Ku's Defense Weekly and become a military reporter, I don't know if Mr. Xiao Weiguo will take him in? (To be continued.) )
