Chapter 154: The Birth of SS101
"Ada! Can you help me? Su Ming asked in surprise, after getting used to Ada's active prompts, he forgot that after Ada evolved to the two-dimensional mode, he would only answer if Su Ming needed to ask him first, this time I don't know what was going on, Ada actually took the initiative to open his mouth, and it was still in this very humane tone, but Su Ming didn't pay attention to the surprise, just looking forward to Ada's answer.
"A primary energy propulsion device, I can help you improve it, I don't know what effect you want to achieve?" Ada returned to his normal tone.
"To what effect? Of course, it's better than the current thrust, lower fuel consumption, and acceleration, uh, what else can't you remember, you just need to modify it according to the best plan. Su Ming doesn't know much about the parameters of the engine, but such a complex and high-tech engine is just a primary energy propulsion device in Ada's eyes, and he doesn't know what is intermediate and what is advanced.
"Are there any requirements for the size after that?" Ada continued.
"Size?" This Su Ming didn't know how to choose, the engine should be smaller, but it had to match the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft.
"I offer you three different levels of renovation in the primary school, and they are set to be adjustable in size, in order to save energy, do you only form a holographic model?" Ada seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, and then proposed a specific plan to Su Ming.
"Okay, just like that machine model." Su Ming's heart is happy like a flower, there are three transformation plans for junior high school and high school, and the size can be adjusted, which means that he has a variety of different engine schemes, from large to small and from high to low, forming different solutions and forming a full range of product lines, which is really good.
Then there was silence for a while, and after a long time, a holographic model with a complex program far more than a machine tool appeared in Su Ming's mind, and the introduction on it was already as many as the stars in the starry sky, and then the second, the third.
"The original device is mechanical hydraulic control has been transformed into digital electronic control, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the three energy propulsion equipment is 8-9 for the primary level, 10-12 for the lower level, and 15-20 for the intermediate level, the fuel consumption is reduced by 15 percentage points, the maximum thrust is increased by 47 percent, and the speed coefficient is increased from 0.85 to 1.35. Ada is becoming more and more humanized, and he even asks like this, smiling Su Mingle's eyebrows, and shouting satisfaction.
"I don't have to worry about anything now, at least for ten or twenty years." Su Ming made an analysis of the current popular engine situation some time ago, except for the legendary F-22 engine F119, most of the other engines are about 8, whether it is F-15, F-16 F110 series, or Su-27 Al-31F series, or the RF199 or MiG-29 RD-33 in the EF2000 fighter under development, the thrust-to-weight ratio is generally about 8, and the F119 engine, The goal is to achieve a thrust-to-weight ratio of 10, which is not currently in production.
That is to say, among these models of Ada's transformation, the primary one is already at the international advanced level, and the low-level one is already at the leading level, and the intermediate one is theoretical, and now there is no company that claims to be able to produce a turbofan engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 15, and then it is a rocket engine.
It is said that the French Snecma company spent 1.6 billion US dollars to study the M88 engine, the thrust-to-weight ratio can reach 9, and the new engine EJ200 thrust-to-weight ratio of the four major European consortia for EF2000 may reach 10 in the future, these two engines have not yet been successfully studied, and Su Ming does not need to move here, he already has an engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 15, thinking of this, Su Ming gently stroked Ada, and hummed Ada's favorite tune in his mouth.
This is called the same person does not have the same life, others work hard, but it is effortless here, Su Ming decided to reward himself well, make a bowl of braised pork to eat and replenish the brain, recently I have been in a depressed mood, and I have been unable to solve the problem, but it was solved by Ada so easily, or Ada is amazing, as if I felt Su Ming's praise, Ada is still there flickering.
Looking at this guy who can't ignite the fire, Su Ming wants to put it back in the furnace, but forget it after thinking about it, just put it here as a sample and souvenir, it is also the first engine produced by Su Shi, but it doesn't feel very good to put a Spey engine.
Su Ming thought of his own production of this engine through Spey Engine was originally intended to be export-oriented, if the original owner of Spey Rolls-Royce Company knew, will it sue itself for infringement or what, restrict their own sales, foreign companies like to do this, sometimes just take advantage of the bidding contract to give you a hand, in order not to cause trouble, the tendering party will give up the purchase, it seems that you have to think of the problem to solve.
Su Ming didn't know if there were any technical problems with Ada's modified engine, but just in case, it was better to communicate with Rolls-Royce in advance, so Su Ming transferred the technical data and drawings of the primary engine codenamed SS100 to Luo Shaojun and Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce heard that there are such good things, and there are even Chinese companies in advance to inquire about the technical patent issues of the Spey engine, when did the Chinese company take the initiative to be so conscious, and after inquiring again, I found out that it is actually a certain Hong Kong-funded company, is this normal, Hong Kong is still our British Empire, and it is normal not to dare to offend us, in the same way, for this little-known Su company, Rolls-Royce also has a certain good impression, Spey has already been transferred, and it is not a big deal to transfer one more, What's more, it's still a nascent company, so it should be supported.
Rolls-Royce's offer is very fair, the patent licensing fee is 200,000 pounds, the technical support fee is 1 million pounds, and at the same time shows Su Shi that if Su Shi's technical strength is recognized by them, you can subcontract the production of some accessories to them, which is the usual practice of European and American high-tech companies, and contract the components that cost labor and have no technical content to underdeveloped countries to reduce costs, and the technical service fee is what it means, I am afraid that your production is not good, we can provide you with technical guidance, Then you can accept our contract and earn the money back.
Su Ming thought about it and gave the patent licensing fee to Rolls-Royce, which is equivalent to a pass to enter the international market, with this less, at least you are not afraid that others will trouble you, as for this price, in Su Ming's opinion, it is fair, when the country introduced it, it cost 500 million pounds, and now it only costs 200,000, although it is only a patent shake, it is definitely not a loss.
For the technical service fee, Su Ming feels that there is no need, now his own production capacity is insufficient, so he has time to take over his outsourcing business, it is better to build a few more engines with that time, it is more profitable than that, and Rolls-Royce has no unwillingness to do so, although 200,000 pounds is just a drizzle for it, but it is like the world falling, even less is happy.
The main reason is that this engine is a product of the fifties and sixties, and it is a technology that has been sold for a long time, and the United States and China have introduced it, and they don't pay attention to it at all.
Su Ming handed over all the other affairs to Fei Zijun and others to deal with, and he put all his energy on this, after the drawings came out, he studied the technical data, not all of them, at least learned a few terms and understood them in detail, and it was not so obvious to explain to others.
Then Su Ming began to carry out the trial production work, while informing the 611 Institute of progress and improvement plans, not to mention anything else, the progress in technical indicators alone is a bit too big, which makes people unbelievable, but Su Ming has no way, and the most improved by Ada is this, and he can't help it.
Sure enough, when the 611 Institute received his improvement plan, he thought that Su Ming was making up the numbers according to their instructions, and he didn't take it seriously, so he translated the plan and handed it to Pakistan, and Pakistan did not expect that the Chinese side, which has always been as close as a big brother, would fool itself, and received a notice that it had changed to a cooperative agency, and then got the technical plan so quickly, and thought that the strength of this company was amazing, and very happily allocated five million US dollars as an upfront cost, and said, I hope to see the sample within half a year.
The Pakistani side was already in a hurry, and was ready to agree to the conditions of the Michael Young Design Bureau, but I didn't expect the Chinese side to find another cooperative agency, and then get the technical improvement plan so quickly, and the money was given very happily.
The people of the 611 Institute saw that the Pakistani side was so eager, and they were worried about whether Su Shi could complete this task, but after the relay, Su Ming said very happily that he hoped that they could carry out the engine test test in two months, and the engine test bench would not be built for a while and a half, so they had to go to the 611 Institute for a test run.
Two months? The people of the 611 Institute can't believe it at all, you have only been getting the drawings for more than a month, and you don't know if you can determine the technical improvement plan after reading it once, and then you can produce it, just kidding, the 611 Institute immediately sent someone to verify, but found that Su's was already in production, looking at the progress, I am afraid that it will not cost even two months, and the product can be taken out in one month.
However, this time Su Ming didn't dare to be as careless as last time, and every time he made an accessory, he had to make a detailed comparison to ensure that there was no mistake at all, and he would say it again, and he would have no face to see people if he didn't succeed in ignition, and the words were blown out.
After the engine is manufactured, it is necessary to carry out uninterrupted test runs to determine that the surname of the engine can be stable and reliable, and this process must be at least more than 150 hours.
This engine codenamed SS101 was transported to the scenic southwest border for a long journey, 611 is located here, SS stands for Su Shi's meaning, 101 refers to the first model of the 100 series, the engine technical requirements of the fighter are the highest, based on this model, it can also be changed out of the version used for transport aircraft, bombers, and civil aircraft, and it will be called 102, 103 and so on.
