Material Empire

Some metal materials involved in the Hongling engine have not been mastered in China. In addition to being applicable to aero engines, these materials are also widely used in other civil fields. Qin Hai's vision is to let the experts of the School of Materials and the engineers of the 43a plant jointly develop these materials, make full use of the rich experience accumulated by the 43a plant in aviation materials, and shorten the research and development cycle.

As for the sales after the materials are developed, Qin Hai has full confidence. No one knows more about which departments need what kind of materials. As long as he gives some guidance to the sales staff, there is no need to worry about sales.

Qin Hai has calculated in his heart that the sales profits of these metal materials are more than enough to compensate for the early development investment. Such a business is well worth doing.

Lv Hexing didn't dare to agree to this plan proposed by Qin Hai. He was silent for a while and said, "I personally tend to agree on this matter. But how to do it, and whether the issue of the principle of confidentiality is involved, it needs to be discussed by the party committee of the house before it can be reported to the department. The committee approved it, so I can't answer you right now. "

"I can fully understand." Qin Hai nodded and accepted Lu Hexing's explanation.

"Well, let's put this matter here first. Is there any other question for President Qin?" Lu Hexing asked.

Qin Haidao: "What I said earlier is only a small amount of cooperation. I have a bigger idea. I don't know when to talk or not."

"Is there a bigger idea?" Everyone in the room stared. If sharing the precision processing equipment of the 43a plant is barely a trivial matter, it is definitely not a trivial cooperation between the two parties to develop engine materials.

Among the more than 100 kinds of metal materials required by the Hongling engine, more than 50 kinds need to be developed. Huang Dongfeng estimated that the required development costs may be as high as tens of millions of yuan. This is a situation where researchers do not take a detour. If you are not careful. If something goes wrong, maybe several million yuan of R & D funding will be overwhelmed, which is not without precedent in the process of material research.

Such a matter involving tens of millions of yuan, Qin Hai actually said that it was only a relatively small cooperation, so what is the bigger idea he wants to say?

Everyone was staring at Qin Hai. Wait for him to finish. Qin Hai sank deliberately, then said with a smile: "Don't look at me like this, it makes me a little nervous. In fact, what I want to say is that since the military order for Hongling Engine is insufficient, it cannot support this Project, Dean Lu and Director Yan, have you considered converting it into civilian products for sale? "

"puff!"

After hearing Qin Hai's remarks, in case Feng hadn't had much response, Lu Hexing and the other three almost spit out the old blood and shot out. Qin Hai just flickered. Let everyone have some feelings of appreciation and awe for him, thinking that he is an expert, and what he said is quite satisfactory. When he said that it was recommended to transform the Red Ridge engine into a civilian product, everyone's big image that was finally easy to build suddenly collapsed.

Please, the engine is not a piece of clothing. You can wear it to anyone you want. Hongling is a complete military engine. If it is to be changed to civilian use, how much effort will be required in the middle. do you know? Besides, China's civil aircraft manufacturing industry is almost blank. You switched to a civilian Red Ridge engine. Who do you plan to use it for?

I thought so, and it was not convenient for a few people to speak directly. Lu Hexing looked at Yan Quangen and motioned him to explain this to Qin Hai. Yan Quangen set his sights on Huang Dongfeng again, and wanted the nerd to say such offensive words. Huang Dongfeng also wanted to get rid of the difference, but the number of people in the room was the lowest. This kind of thing is not allowed to do, who can do it?

"Ahem, President Qin, your suggestion, uh ... very novel. However, this should be converted to civilian use ..." Huang Dongfeng thought carefully how to explain to Qin Hai as well.

Qin Hai smiled, waved his hands, and interrupted Huang Dongfeng's words, saying: "General Manager Huang need not say, I know what you mean. I didn't say that we want to use a civil aviation engine, I mean, can I get A civil industrial aircraft modification? "

Flight modification? Huang Dongfeng opened his mouth and couldn't close it all at once. After a long time in trouble, Qin Hai worked on this idea.

The so-called aeronautical reformer is the aeronautical reformed gas turbine, that is, a marine or industrial gas turbine transformed from an aero engine as the main engine. Marine gas turbines are used as marine power, while industrial gas turbines are mainly used for power generation and also used in refrigeration and other fields.

In fact, as early as the introduction of the Spey engine, departments such as the Ministry of Shipbuilding, the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have begun to use it to develop aerospace marine gas turbines, and have achieved certain results. As the development of marine gas turbines was not undertaken by the 43a plant, Huang Dongfeng did not know the specific details.

In the previous two years, while attending a conference in the system, he once heard that the marine power research department of Bingcheng had produced a prototype of the "Speier" marine gas turbine and passed the test trials. Unfortunately, like the fate of the Hongling engine, this marine gas turbine could not find a matching ship, so it was also put on hold.

"According to the technical parameters of the Hongling engine, I think this engine can be used to transform an industrial gas turbine with a power of 8 to 12 MW. It is suitable for small and medium-sized oil-fired power plants, especially as an oilfield power generation, cogeneration and cogeneration unit. . There are so many oil fields in our country, and in the next few years, there may still be a serious shortage of electricity. This medium-sized industrial gas turbine will definitely have a huge market. "Qin Hai introduced to everyone in a hurry.

"Xiao Huang, do you think Qin said this, does it make sense?" Lu Hexing was touched by Qin Hai's thinking. As a supervisor and leader, of course, he had heard of the concept of aviation reform, but he had not touched the idea of ​​civilian use. That's it. Now listening to Qin Hai's statement, he suddenly felt that it was really a good way to change the civil aviation aircraft, so he couldn't help asking Huang Dongfeng to help with the evaluation.

Huang Dongfeng frowned, gently tapped the coffee table around with his fingers, and slowly said: "It is indeed a way out for industrial aviation reform ... the British original factory also uses the gas turbine transformed by Spey, but the mother they use The machine model is rb168-66, our model is mk202, and the internal flow is about 18% smaller than that of rb168. At the same initial gas temperature, the power will be significantly less than the former. In addition, mk202 has a five-stage fan. In terms of solutions, there is a certain degree of difficulty ... "

Lu Hexing anxiously interrupted his deduction: "These you are talking about are too professional, you tell me if you can change it. As for how to change it, this is the question you will study later when you go back."

"The change can definitely be changed." Huang Dongfeng nodded sternly. "Bincheng has successfully implemented aero-transformation for marine engines. The difficulty of industrial machines is less than that of marine machines, so it can definitely be changed."

"That's good." Lu Hexing said. He turned to Qin Hai and asked, "General Manager Qin, do you think there is a market for industrial aviation reform?"

"There is definitely a market." Qin Hai replied without hesitation. "Gas turbine power generation is the future development trend. At present, our country is still very backward in the design and manufacture of gas turbines. If we can seize this technology peak, we can definitely make a profit. If the income is less than 1 billion yuan a year, I can pay for it at my own expense. "

The technical requirements of medium gas turbines are lower than those of aero engines, but they are still high-tech products. The word "high technology" can basically be used as a synonym for cash cow. In that era, the price of a 10-megawatt industrial gas turbine reached more than 10 million yuan, and even one-third of the cost could not be used. It was an extremely profitable product. The key is that China is almost blank in this field. Most gas turbines rely on imports. If the 43a plant can develop industrial gas turbines, countless units that lack foreign exchange will line up to send money.

As Qin Hai said, the two cooperations he mentioned earlier are small and small. Only the gas turbine project is a real big deal. If it can be done, billions of dollars in operating income a year will be all right.

"General Qin's vision and courage are really amazing." Lu Hexing was convinced. "Listening to President Qin, we only know that we have always been holding the golden rice bowl for dinner. Xiao Yan, you and Xiao Huang After going back, immediately make a feasibility report and submit it to the party group of the Academy ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ If this thing can be done, we must convince the Science and Industry Commission to agree to our development of industrial aviation reform. "

"Then I'll wait for the good news." Qin Hai said with a smile.

"No problem, once the Science and Technology Commission responds to us, I will immediately send someone to notify President Qin, let's do it together." Lu Hexing said in a righteous manner.

In fact, Lu Hexing didn't want to fight for justice. Although the technical strength for industrial aviation reform was in the 43a factory, if they left Qin Hai's support, they would have no funds and no market experience. This very promising thing may not be possible. You have to let them fuck. After communicating with Qin Hai, Lu Hexing also wanted to understand that what he lacked here was not technology, but a market-oriented business philosophy, which was precisely Qin Hai's strength.

Having said that, Qin Hai would have nothing else to say. Lu Hexing was so emotional that he forced Qin Hai to drink and claimed that he would not return home. Helpless, Qin Hai could only call the sunspots and put down Lu Hexing and his party one by one.

This trip to the 70x, due to the appearance of Lu Hexing and others, brought unexpected joy to Qin Hai. He and Lu Hexing agreed on a meeting time in the future, and then joined the sunspots to bid farewell to the 70x and board the flight to Beijing. (To be continued ...) R12)
