Rolls-Royce did not come with Airbus, there are many reasons, one of the important reasons is to let Airbus explore the way, so that they can also evaluate first, if they think it is cost-effective, then come, if it is not cost-effective, anyway, there is Lao Maozi to help process.

A million dollars an hour is already very expensive, and after repeated negotiations, they finally decided to grit their teeth and accept it, and came to the East, who would have thought that these people were not satisfied, and they would have to increase the price?

"So, how much are you going to ask for us in the UK?"

"You are our good friends, Ms. Janet, your father Sir Hooke is the messenger of our friendship, and we are also an honorary professor of our Capital Aviation College, we must get a discount for our friends, we have no strings attached, we will give you a twenty percent discount, only $800,000 an hour!"

Just now, the British had serious expressions, and now they finally showed a bright smile, not a price increase, but a price reduction, and they were directly given a 20% discount, if the French knew, they would not be angry?

"Over the years, you have provided us with a lot of help, you authorized us to produce L7 tank guns in the East, you also jointly developed infantry fighting vehicles with us, in the field of aviation industry, but also authorized the Spey engine to us to produce, relying on the help of the British, our industrial strength has been greatly improved, now, of course, we have to reciprocate, we Oriental people value friendship the most, more important than money."

The Britons present were all elated.

"That's right, Mr. Qin, you are right, we are good friends, my father has been talking about the story of his time in the East, this time I came to the East, and my father also told me to go to the place where he used to work." Janet said.

"Okay, we'll help arrange it." Qin Feng said: "Let's just go and have a look together." By the way, Ms. Janet, we heard that the Spey engine has a new version, the TF41 used in the American A-7 attack aircraft, the engine has been improved, and the normal military thrust has been increased to 6.8 tons, if an afterburner is added, the afterburner thrust can be increased to 10.5 tons? ”

"No, Allison's 912-23b plan can reach 11.3 tons of afterburner thrust." Without waiting for Janet to speak, an accompanying engineer introduced: "I have worked with them, the fan diameter has been increased to 950 mm, the five-stage fan has become a three-stage fan, the other two stages have become low-pressure compressors, the high-pressure compressor has been reduced from 12 to 11, and at the same time the installation angle of the turbine blades has been changed, the thrust has increased a lot, our Spey engine has great potential, it was originally intended to be re-equipped for the F-14, but unfortunately Grumman chose the F110."

"Oh." Qin Feng nodded: "Our Spey engine can also make this kind of improvement, right?" ”

"Of course......" the engineer was about to continue, but Janet interrupted him: "Jindal, shut up!" ”

Jindal suddenly thought of it, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

Qin Feng smiled: "Everyone, please ask our Zhou Gong to introduce to you the operating principle of this die forging press, if you want to know anything, just ask, and when you understand it, let's go to the conference room to discuss cooperation." ”

Janet already had a guess in her heart: the Oriental people are so kind and give themselves a 20% discount, in fact, they want the modification plan of the Spey engine, no, this is absolutely not good! After all, the modification was mainly carried out by Allison, and it did not have technical patents.

That's right, that's it!

Thinking about this, Janet was absent-minded in the next investigation, I don't know how long it took, the on-site inspection was over, and the big guy came to the conference room.

"We at Rolls-Royce are currently working on the world's largest thrust aero engine, which requires large compressor blisks and turbine blisks, for which we have invented a new powder metallurgy recipe that is a highly secret project." "So, we want all of your people to leave when we press with a forging press," says Janet. ”

Janet knew that this reason was far-fetched, and ordinary companies would not agree to it.

"Of course you can, but if you operate it yourself, then you will definitely not be as skilled as our technicians, and it will delay time, and from the time you enter the workshop, you will have to calculate the time until you come out. Moreover, if this is the case, you have to pay a large deposit in advance, and if there is an accident during the operation, we need to deduct the deposit as the repair cost of the machine. ”

Qin Feng didn't embarrass them too much, and actually agreed, just asking for a deposit, which is also common sense.

"We want to do it now." Janet continued.

"Now? Did you bring the ingredients? Or is it up to us to provide it? ”

"We bring the ingredients."

They still brought the ingredients? Qin Feng suddenly thought of something: "Each of you has a bag of powder metallurgy materials in their suitcases?" ”

No wonder I felt a little heavy when I moved it myself!

"Yes, we need a small electric furnace, and this electric furnace is best placed in the die forging press workshop, which is the most convenient."

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you." Qin Feng's eyes looked at Zhou Minghui: "Zhou Gong, when is the production of our die forging press scheduled?" ”

"Two months later."

Janet's face changed suddenly, and Qin Feng suddenly realized in his heart, this woman can understand our Chinese! But it's better to put on a show in front of her.

"Our British friends have come from afar and want to make a sample first, do you think you can take the time to come out and use it for them?"

"Mr. Qin, pressing different equipment needs to change different molds, this is a big project, replacing the mold will cause a waste of time, we have the best to change after processing one." Zhou Minghui glanced at Janet and lowered his voice: "We are a private enterprise, every minute of our time should be used to create wealth, what you said about friendship with the British or something, and our Pacific Group has nothing to do with it." ”

"Zhou Gong, the British are friendly to our country, that is, they are friendly to us, dismantle the mold within two hours, this money does not need to be paid by the British, people come all the way, we have to be hospitable, it doesn't matter if you suffer a loss."

Janet's eyes showed gratitude, what her father said was right, the Easterners are very warm and friendly, different from the mercenary Western world!

The Orientals are asking to improve the Spey engine, do you want to help? Anyway, we just secretly gave Allison's drawings to the Orientals, and we didn't know what to do. No, no, you can't be emotional!

Janet took a deep breath and regained her spirits.

"Mr. Qin, we really hope to make the sample as soon as possible and then bring it back for testing." Janet said, "We appreciate your cooperation! ”

"Well, you can operate it tonight, the first trial production, it may take longer, you pay the fee for two hours first, as for the deposit...... How much deposit can you make? ”

"Mr. Qin, we came here this time and brought a million pounds." Janet pulled out a check.

In the past, the empire on which the sun never set ruled the world, and the pound sterling was also a fairly strong currency, and in the era of Sherlock Holmes, an elite of society could live comfortably with 70 pounds a year.

After the end of World War II, the era of British hegemony ended, and the value of the pound continued to shrink, from a pound to eighty dollars in the fifties, and forty dollars in the sixties.

As for the 80s, one pound could only be exchanged for about two dollars, so the million pounds, that is, about two million dollars, was just enough for the user fee, and they didn't think about the deposit at all.

Mark Twain has millions of pounds, but this denomination of pounds sterling is not negotiable, the largest denomination in circulation on the market is less than 100 pounds, large transactions are carried out through banks, HSBC cheques, in this era, there is no problem.

$1.6 million in two hours, with a deposit of only about $400,000? That machine is worth at least $50 million!

Janet was a little embarrassed, but now was not the time for her to be embarrassed, she had to make the sample and bring it back.

"Mr. Qin, the risk is too great, what if they use our machine badly?" Zhou Minghui shook his head on the side.

Wang Fang also joined in the fun: "Yes, Mr. Qin, if we sign an agreement with them, if they break the machine, we will keep them and work for five years as compensation." ”

Janet was worried that she didn't have the authority to sign such an agreement, and even if she did, the engineers she brought with her would not.

"If it were someone else, we wouldn't have allowed them to do this, but it's Sir Hook's daughter, she's not an outsider, and if she really breaks our machine, then we'll consider ourselves unlucky."

There was a warm current in Janet's heart, this Mr. Qin was really interesting! If you are in Europe, you will never talk about this kind of favor, you have to talk about interests in everything, the Oriental people are so good, my father is not wrong!

So what should I do? Do you continue to insist that these people not be allowed to see it?

No, you can't be so selfish! If the machine is really damaged, needless to say, the maintenance cost is not to mention, the time lost is money, the processing cost of 800,000 US dollars an hour, how much is the delay of a day?

"Mr. Qin, since this Zhou Gong is the designer of this machine, he should be very familiar with the machine, right? We ask Zhou Gong to operate the machinery and equipment on site. ”

As soon as Janet finished speaking, the others objected.

"No, Janet, we can't do that."

"They're going to steal our technology!"

"No, the Orientals won't, they're our best friends!" Janet said: "With their help, I only need an hour, or even half an hour, which can save the company a lot of money, and also avoid operating errors, if you don't ask them to help, then if we break the machinery and equipment, the big guys have to stay, free to work for the Oriental people for three years to make up for the loss, are you willing to stay?" ”

No one refutes it anymore.

From the beginning to the present, the Oriental people have behaved very enthusiastically and are friends enough, can they not believe in the Oriental friends?

"Okay, then please stay in front of the console all the time, don't walk around, and don't observe our operations."

"If there are some cardboard boxes on site, it would be better to cover the three sides of the console."

"You should do it yourself, we know that this advanced material was developed by you and is the top secret of your company." Qin Feng said: "We won't participate, now let Zhou Gong send you the operation manual, you can study it first." ”

Janet's heart was extremely moved, Oriental people completely think about themselves, just like relatives!

Soon the evening came, and the die forging press production workshop was busy, dismantling the original mold and replacing it with a new mold in the shape of a disc.

"Okay, it's eight o'clock in the evening, from this time on, the machine is yours, you come and operate it, I wish you success." Qin Feng said to the Englishmen who were each pulling a suitcase.

"Thank you Mr. Qin, I will not forget your selfless help." Janet said: "We will definitely help with the modification of the Spey engine. ”

Help, you have to help, if you don't help, will you still have the face to come over in the future?

"I'll just ask about Spey, so I don't have to bother you." Qin Feng said: "Busy with your business first. ”

The door slowly closed, Janet took a deep breath, and then looked at the others: "What are you still doing, our every minute is more than 10,000 dollars, hurry, do it!" ”

Qin Feng took his subordinates and walked briskly to a small house nearby, where there were several TVs, which were showing every move in the factory.

"Mr. Qin, CCTV is working well." Seeing Qin Feng come in, Wang Fang said with a smile: "We have hidden all the cameras, they will definitely not know that it is completely transparent in front of us." ”

This is the 80s, where are the cameras in the factories of the East? If so, what are the management rules that prohibit open defecation in the workshop? However, there is really a die forging press in the production workshop, after all, this machine is the treasure of the town store and the important weapon of the country.

A little modesty, let the British be grateful, in fact, everything was arranged long ago.

"For powder metallurgy technology, the proportion of those powders, particle size and other data are the most important." Zhou Minghui said: "If we can't get a sample, even if we have seen the whole process, it is useless." ”

Powder metallurgy technology is an important means of manufacturing advanced materials, taking all kinds of fine powders, not only requiring fineness, but also requiring accurate proportioning, which is not only metal powder, some also need to be put into non-metallic powder, but also plasticizers, etc., the ratio is slightly poor, and the things made can not meet the requirements.

After these powders are mixed, they are first pressed into shape, and by the help of a powerful hydraulic press, these powders are directly pressed into cakes, and then fired. In fact, it is similar to the process of making tiles.

If the blisk of the engine and turbine wants to get excellent performance, it is necessary to use powder metallurgy process, and it is necessary to use advanced hydraulic presses! The British didn't, and it was easy to leak secrets when they went to Lao Maozi's side, after all, Lao Maozi was not as good at talking as the Orientals, and the pressure of Lao Maozi's hydraulic press was not big enough.

Under the pressure of 80,000 tons, the quality of this blisk will be very good!

"We have a second move." Looking at the busy figures on the screen, Qin Feng said with a smile: "We have an old saying, what you are afraid of, then something will come." ”

"Everyone must be careful, there must be no accidents!" Janet watched the busyness of the engineers, and was embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence, if it was broken, we couldn't afford to pay for it!

In fact, with the industrial base of Britain, it is possible to build such an 80,000-ton die forging press, and the East can build it, but they are not as good as the East? However, the demand is too small, even if they Rolls-Royce are producing aero engines at full capacity, with a year's production capacity, it is enough to use 80,000 tons of die forging presses for half a month, and what about the rest of the time? Isn't that a waste? And if they want to build it, it will cost a lot of money, so if they can find to process it from the outside, they don't need to build it.

"We're all old engineers, what else can happen? Time is the most important thing, it's all about money! Kinder opened his suitcase, took out a bag inside, opened it, and there was another bag inside, wrapped in three layers, and finally revealed the plastic bag inside, which was a bag of metal powder, which stood out in the transparent plastic bag.

Jindal said as he walked to the die forging press workbench, walking like a fly.

"Ouch!"

"Be careful!"

"Smack!"

Before the others could utter a warning exclamation, Kindall had already fallen, and the plastic bag with the powder in his hand rolled out, breaking a hole, and ...... Falling with a bang!

Although they are standing on the ground, there are still more than 20 meters underground in this large die forging press, so when they fall, the powder will leak down!

"Damn it, Jindal, why are you so careless!" Janet's face was ugly. If you fall, you can say, what should you do if you drop these powders?

"Put away all the powder on the ground first, take it back for processing, and the underground part will ......" Jenny glanced down: "Wait until we make a sample before cleaning, and talk to Mr. Qin, it shouldn't count our time." ”

Cleaning up the powder underneath can waste hours of your time, and that's all money!

Jindal looked at the place where he had just fallen, it was no different from other grounds, why was it so slippery?

In the monitoring room, Zhou Minghui's eyes widened: "Has the ground been treated?" Waxing? ”

The workshop is all cement floor, usually it can't be so smooth, unless it is a special treatment, the ground is on the way to the workbench, and it is just in the shadow area of the light, the workers who operate in the workshop all year round will not notice, let alone the people who have just entered.

In addition, there is a ground access port in front of it, and it is made in the style of a grille, so you can see the situation underground, and this leaking thing...... I guess the mechanism set up in advance below has been caught, right?

"Zhou Gong, this is just the beginning, what are you excited about, continue to wait and see."
