Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Tan Zhenhua said that he didn’t save a bit of face, and Wu Daguan’s flushed face instantly turned into pig liver color, and he said in his heart: This kid is so smart, he really doesn’t give me any face. The elderly stay!

Even Ma Fengshan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't listen anymore. He said, "Zhenhua, you can't say that. Our country's economy has really been a bit difficult in the past few years. There are more than just these one or two issues... …"

Tan Zhenhua interrupted Ma Fengshan's words and said: "Master Ma, Mr. Wu, my boy, although I am now in business, I want to pursue electronics in the future. I only know a little about the aviation industry, but I heard that there are two major engines in North America. The production companies Pratt & Whitney and General Dynamics plus a British "Rolo", these three have almost monopolized the international aviation engine market, and recently it seems to have been heard that these three have the meaning of dividing into two camps. At least, " "General Dynamics" has cooperated with Gaul’s "Sneima" to develop the "CFM56" series of engines, so it seems that it will be sooner or later that "Rolo" and "P & Whitney" will develop in-depth cooperation."

Wu Da nodded his opinion. The kid surnamed Tan said that he was a layman, but he knew the latest trends in the aero engine field more accurately.

Tan Zhenhua went on to say: “Looking at these three companies, none of them is devoted to the R&D and production of military aircraft engines. On the contrary, they will all apply their success in the field of military aviation development to civilian use. For example, this "CFM56", as far as I know, uses the core technology of the "F101" engine that has just been successfully developed by the United States, and the "Speey" is even more so. Its civilian models such as the "MK512" that we are most familiar with. It's been used on several types of civil aircraft, Mr. Wu, am I right?"

Wu Daguan had to nod. In fact, as he himself just introduced, the turbofan engine model that China has just started to contact is the civilian version of the "Speey" and the "MK512" installed on the "Trident" airliner.

Tan Zhenhua said bitterly: "Look, this is the reason why you want to discontinue "Speey". People in Britain use this technology to continuously introduce civilian models. Not only are they suitable for installing a large number of civilian passenger planes, they even launched a steam turbine version. It can be used as a marine engine or used to generate electricity, earning a lot of tickets in the market, but what about you? You can only look forward to the country’s fighter model and count on the country’s funding. As a result, the fighter jet Stop, the engine was immediately useless, so I had to throw it in the warehouse and wait for the rusty grass!"

Wu Daguan was so embarrassed that he wanted to get his head down. Tan Zhenhua said that although he was a little bit mean, this is the fact. The 6430 factory spent more than 70 million pounds to introduce a full set of Spey production lines and patent licenses, which have now been shelved. , And later spent another 100 million pounds, he himself traveled around the European countries to purchase a large number of advanced processing equipment and even the site was not approved, just watched as he covered a piece of tarp and threw it in the open air... …

It is absolutely nonsense to say that it is not distressed, but if there is any way he can do it, if he doesn't give money, then he can't do anything. If he writes a book, he writes a book, and he waits for nothing.

Even Mr. Jackson, the commercial director of the partner British "Rolo", expressed deep regret for this. At that time, a leader of the department tried to explain that it did not matter. We had learned a lot about engine manufacturing technology. The Jackson said very seriously: "NoSir, technology is installed in people's minds. If it is not practiced repeatedly in production, it will cease to exist after a few days."

Wu Daguan still clearly remembered the ugly face of the head of the department after the business director, Mr. Jackson, said this.

Seeing that the atmosphere was really embarrassing, Ma Fengshan couldn't help but open his mouth again to try to ease the atmosphere: "Zhenhua, don't talk about it, Mr. Wu is just the person in charge of technology. He can't do many things..."

Having said this, he couldn't help but think of the situation of the "Yun Ten" he was responsible for, and he couldn't say it anymore. It was inevitable that a strong feeling of sympathy arose in his heart.

Tan Zhenhua immediately continued Ma Fengshan's words: "Master Ma, what did we say in the corridor outside? Do you remember?"

Ma Fengshan was taken aback for a moment and said: "Zhenhua, what you said, is economic priority?"

Tan Zhenhua nodded and said: "Yes, I would like to discuss this topic with Wu Lao. According to my prediction, the global civil aviation industry is about to usher in a great opportunity for development, and the development of civil aviation will surely bring civil aviation engines. The great development of the field, of course, purely technically speaking, the development direction of civil development and military development is slightly different. Military development pays attention to high adaptability, high performance and power-to-weight ratio in various extreme working conditions. Sacrificing service life and even reliability, but the civil engines are different, they pay more attention to fuel consumption, reliability, actual thrust, maintainability, low noise, environmental protection, etc., but they are all aero engines after all, and they are common to each other. There are so many things."

Tan Zhenhua’s analysis was spoken in front of Wu Daguan, a major player in aviation development. There was a suspicion of selling big axes in front of Luban’s gate, but in Wu Daguan’s ears, he heard a different taste. He asked: “Then What does Tan Xiaoyou mean?"

"Yes, what I mean is very simple. Since the military production has been temporarily suspended, why doesn't Xijing Engine Factory focus on the imitation production of "Spei" Minqi? In this way, the equipment and technology that you have put in a lot of effort, Wouldn’t it be idle? Also, the entire factory would not have thousands of people on the ground. It would depend on the output value of a few military units a year to survive the day, right?"

"This one……"

Wu Daguan hesitated for a long time and decided to tell the truth: "Little friend Zhenhua, we haven't considered this plan you mentioned. In fact, the department is very sad that the equipment we buy now is left unused, so it has been active. Think of a way to see if you can contact "Luo Luo" for some parts production. But when it comes to the production of civilian hair, it is not a simple matter. Military hair and civilian hair are reduced. An afterburner, but all the parameters need to be re-adjusted and matched. It is not easy to get it out. The one we bought at the beginning, but there is only one "MK202"..."

Tan Zhenhua interrupted Wu Daguan again and asked: "Old Wu, I heard that when Sir Stanley Hook led a team to promote a series of products in China, the first thing to promote was not Junfa?"

"Yes, the four-person team he led originally promoted the "MK512", which is the engine used on the "Trident", and later became the "MK202" is the result of our request. For this reason, He also applied for a special export license from the British government authorities.” Wu Daguan replied, and at the same time an unrealistic fantasy appeared in his mind.

Tan Zhenhua continued to ask: "So, this "MK512" should have been on the British government's export list, right?"

Wu Daguan replied hesitantly: "According to the truth, it should be, but..."

"However, if we propose to buy this "MK512" now, it is certainly not possible and impossible to obtain state funding support, right?" Tan Zhenhua asked aggressively.

Wu Daguan sighed: "Little friend Zhenhua, I will not hide it from you. In order to ensure that the equipment introduced by our Xijing Aviation Engine Plant has a usefulness and will not lie there, we did apply for continued introduction. The technology of the civilian version of "Speey" is actually more than that, Lao Wu, oh, you may not know it, it is Wu Zhonghua who first proposed the "Three-dimensional Flow General Theory of Impeller Machinery" in the world. He also proposed Based on the proposal of "Speey" to develop our China Gas Turbine, but, like other reports, these reports have not received any response, so..."

"So, in the final analysis, it means "no money", right?"

Wu Daguan was taken aback for a moment. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still sighed: "Yes, there is no money, especially no foreign exchange, so there is nothing to do."

"I have got!"
