Philip nodded and said, "Mr. Delot, let's talk while we eat." You see that everyone is looking forward to quenching their thirst, and they may not be polite in the face of fine food and wine. Sit down, it's our carnival tonight, so let's let go and have a drink! ”

As soon as Philip's voice fell, the engineers, who had long been hungry for the food on the table, rushed to sit down on the edge of the table one by one, picked up the red wine on the table and opened it unceremoniously, and suddenly the entire banquet hall was already full of wine.

Philip and Messerschmidt also invited Dr. Derot, Dr. Singer, and Dr. Herman to their exclusive seats, and waiters had already come up and poured them intoxicating French Bordeaux wines.

Philip raised his glass, stood up and said loudly: "Come, BMW and BFW engineers, raise your glasses, and wish our cooperation a success, cheers!" ”

After a glass of wine, everyone put aside their inhibitions and talked about different topics while enjoying the delicious food.

More than a dozen waiters walked up with trays in both hands, and the dinner was still very rich, with fine steaks, French Bordeaux red wine exclusively for the royal family, and foie gras imported from France.

Derot asked impatiently, "Mr. Philip, what are the advantages of your Wind Thunder jet engine, can you tell me about it?" What a shame to miss today's meeting! ”

Philip laughed, "That's fine!" In fact, everyone knows very well that although the piston aero engine is developing rapidly, it is still very limited after all. Before World War I, the power of piston aero engines increased from a dozen horsepower to more than 100 horsepower, and the aircraft flew at speeds of more than 200 kilometers per hour. Up to now, the piston aero engine has broken through to nearly 1,000 horsepower, and there are various forms such as rotary cylinder, liquid cooling and air cooling. In order to increase the speed of the aircraft, it is necessary to first increase the output of the engine, and for piston engines, the easiest and most direct way is to increase the number of cylinders. In addition, starting from the fuel, improve the anti-knock performance of gasoline during combustion, so as to improve the pre-combustion compression ratio of the cylinder air-air mixture, and also improve the thermal efficiency and output power; The second is the use of afterburner technology, which injects a mixture of water and methanol into the cylinder, so that the engine power can be greatly improved in a short time; Another important technology is the turbocharger. ”

Seeing Delot's serious look, Philip paused and continued: "However, these methods are limited to the increase in engine power after all, because the engine power is proportional to the cubic of the aircraft's flight speed, with the further increase of flight speed, the engine power further increases, and the weight of the piston engine also increases rapidly, which is difficult to meet the requirements of high-speed flight; On the other hand, the efficiency of the propeller decreases dramatically after the aircraft travels at speeds greater than 700 km/h, both of which limit the increase in flight speed. Therefore, in order to increase flight speed, it is necessary to abandon the piston engine in favor of a more powerful and lighter jet engine, just as the aviation pioneers abandoned the steam engine. ”

Delort nodded frequently, and when he saw Philip stop, he asked, "So what are the advantages of jet engines in terms of performance and construction?" ”

Philip laughed, "Speaking of which, I'm not saying that piston engines are completely useless. I'm just saying that future aero engines will be dominated by jet engines and their derivatives, but piston engines still have certain advantages over small aircraft, because it has the advantages of low fuel consumption, simple structure and low price. Fighter jets, large transport aircraft, bombers, large passenger aircraft and other models, the use of jet engines and its derived turboprop engines, turboshaft engines is more advantageous. For example, the 1500 kg thrust jet engine we developed, its weight is only less than 700 kg, and only one of these engines needs to be installed, which can make a 3-ton aircraft reach a flight speed of seven or eight hundred kilometers per hour, which is not possible with a piston engine and propeller. ”

Delote thought for a moment and said, "That's true! I think that the use of this jet engine in the military field will probably be very large! It seems that the jet age is really coming soon, and the time for the Pistons to dominate the skies is running out! If military aircraft are equipped with this new type of aero engine in the future, this market will be a huge market. And the aero engine company that has mastered this technology, the development prospect is really unimaginable! No, BMW must not be left behind when the jet age comes, otherwise it will be ruthlessly eliminated! So you can't sell us jet engine technology? ”

After De Lott finished speaking, he set his eyes on Philip and Messerschmidt.

Messerschmidt laughed and said, "My old man, do you think this is the cabbage of the market?" We're not going to sell this technology! Since you also know its value, you know that it is impossible to sell it if you change it. If you do the math, we will be the exclusive producer of jet engines in the next ten years, and even for a longer period of time, we will be the absolute controller in this field. Even if other engine manufacturers can make jet engines in the future, we are definitely the leader in terms of technology. So in the future, the profit of jet engines will be in the billions, and it is not impossible for you to buy them, you can just take out 100 million! Hahaha! ”

Speaking of which, Messerschmidt couldn't help but make fun of this old friend.

Delott smiled bitterly: "Old man, you really know how to cheat me!" Knowing that we can't have that much money, that's not a joke! I don't believe that any other company has been able to come up with that much money. Seriously, how can you transfer your technology to us? ”

Philip continued: "Mr. Delot! Assignment is not possible. We will patent many of the original designs of the Thunder jet engine as soon as possible, and I roughly calculated that there are several thousand of them. In the future, no matter which engine manufacturer wants to use our design patents, it will need to be licensed by us and paid for it. Only by joining our Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium and becoming a member of us can you obtain these technologies and license the production of Wind Thunder jet engines and their derivative engine products. ”

Delott spread his hands and smiled helplessly: "It's a pity that I'm just a senior worker and I don't have the right to decide this." However, I have decided to make a recommendation to the board of directors to join the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium as soon as possible, and I believe it is a good choice! The jet age is coming, if you don't seize the opportunity, you are destined to be eliminated, and I don't want BMW to disappear from this world! ”
