Chapter 1220 The magical little trick of the Chinese people
After sending the Rolls-Royce delegation back to their residence, Ren Bingda specially called for the technician who had accompanied Tim Bodie to visit the test workshop:
< br>"Xiao Wang, what's on the console No. 17? Mr. Bodi should have seen it, right?"
The young man known as Xiao Wang nodded immediately:
"I specially left him a few seconds, and then I just asked someone to deal with it, it should be enough for him to write it down..."
After saying that, seeing that there was no one else around, he lowered his voice and asked:
"But Mr. Ren, the data above is originally true. If the superiors allow it to be provided to Luo Luo, why not just give it to Luo Luo?" They?"
Ren Bingda smiled slyly:
"Let me ask you, have you read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
Although it was a question, he did not wait for the other party to answer at all. .
After all, these days, even if you haven't seen the original work, you must have seen the TV series produced by CCTV.
So he turned his hands behind his back and put on a scheming look:
"Before the Battle of Chibi, why did Zhou Yu pretend to be asleep and let Jiang Qian steal the documents instead of directly Show it to him?”
After saying this, Xiao Wang suddenly realized:
“Only in this way will the British believe it?”
"That's right..."
Ren Bingda said and sat back behind the desk:
"So we prepared two sets of plans in advance. If the British's performance in the previous meeting was If they are more positive, then start talking about cooperation directly, but if they are hesitant or don’t believe it at all , just play tricks with them.”
“People tend to believe information that they actively obtain, rather than passively sending it to them... Although Jiang Qian’s strategy of stealing books is old. , but it just captures the weaknesses of human nature and is very easy to use..."
...
at the same time.
After saying goodbye to the Chinese reception group, Bodi didn't even wait to return to his residence. He quickly transcribed the several sets of numbers he had just memorized in his mind in the notebook he carried with him in the car.
He has been an engineer for most of his life and has never personally done anything like this kind of commercial espionage before.
So at this moment, my heart is still beating uncontrollably.
After taking several deep breaths, I managed to calm down and pay attention again to the data in the notebook and a schematic diagram for selecting sampling points.
"1.024mV, 1.063mV, 1.041mV..."
Three rows of tandem samplers, each group has 13 selection points, 5 sampling rods are arranged equidistantly on both sides, and the middle sampling rod is equally spaced 3 distances from the distribution...
Whether it is the data value or the data form, it is completely in line with Luoluo's own testing habits.
“Fxxk…”
Bodi cursed in his heart.
If the choice of the same model of equipment and software from the same company can be explained as a coincidence, then even these operating procedures are completely the same, and there is basically only one possibility left -
This set of exhaust gas measurement in front of me The operating standards were borrowed directly from Luo Luo.
Especially considering that China has previously sent people to participate in most of the test flight processes of the Trent 900, it is inevitable to be exposed to these details.
Thinking of this, he who was still a little guilty suddenly lost his psychological burden.
"Blair."
He turned around and called the assistant who was following him, and handed the notebook to him:
"After you go back, you send these data back to the headquarters and let them import them into the RotronicHPR system and see what the results are. ”
As soon as he heard this request, Bu Lyle Liggins still didn't react:
"This is..."
"We knew before that the Chinese were developing a new type of large bypass ratio turbofan engine , this is likely to be the important cycle efficiency and emission data..."
Bodie tapped twice on the notebook.
But the confusion on Liggins’ face did not lessen.
After all, it is just a set of potential data, and many main variable parameters need to be known to calculate the final gas concentration result.
After a while, he lowered his voice and asked:
"You mean... directly apply our experimental conditions?"
If it had been five minutes ago, Bodi might still be hesitant about this slightly rough approach.
But now, he is very convinced that he can do this:
"Yes, just use ours..."
From beginning to end, Bodi had no doubts at all. The authenticity of these contents (of course they are actually true).
In fact, although he has certainly never heard of Chiang Kai-shek's story of stealing books, in fact, during World War II, the British intelligence agency also used similar tricks many times to play tricks on their German counterparts. In the palm of your hand.
For example, through a piece of "accidentally lost" false information, the latter believed that the Allied forces would land in the Pas de Calais instead of Normandy.
But just as Ren Bingda expected, the weakness of human nature does not mean that you can completely avoid it if you know a strategy.
Especially under the pressure of time and lightning. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many old-fashioned deceptions that can endure for a long time...
……
Due to the time difference, when it was already night in China, it was still afternoon in the UK.
So Luoluo headquarters moved very quickly.
Before 12 o'clock that night, Bodie received a satellite call from Birmingham.
But after the call was connected, the person speaking was not a secretary or engineer.
It was Bodie's old superior, Panos Watson himself.
"Tim, it's me, Panos Watson."
Before he could get over his surprise, the other party got straight to the point:
"I've seen Blair submit back. We have reported the situation, are you sure that the data in it is reliable?”
“More than 90%...”
Podi still didn’t say anything.
But in this case, "90%" is basically equivalent to affirmation.
So he quickly continued to explain:
“These data were not provided directly by the Chinese people. I saw them accidentally during the visit. It should be their negligence... ”
Hearing this, Watson on the opposite side said:
“It’s ridiculous!”
"You are now the chief person in charge of the NGME project. How can you do this kind of thing yourself... If the Chinese people get hold of it and accuse you of espionage, neither of us will end well!"
Watson on the other side of the phone took several deep breaths.
Pody could even imagine the other party being furious while loosening the tie around his neck.
"Don't worry..."
He is not worried at all:
"I kept it in my mind and didn't write it down on paper until I left... In short, I can basically confirm the authenticity of the data."
Perhaps the explanation worked. After a few seconds, Watson's The voice calmed down slightly:
“I’m not referring to the authenticity of the data itself, but whether it really belongs to an aviation company. Engine..."
"These two sets of parameters actually correspond to three indicators, namely NOx, carbon dioxide, and carbon particulate matter emissions... The specific data will be passed to you in a few minutes, but in short, emissions The characteristics are very abnormal.”
Podi had a bad premonition:
"It means that the characteristic component content in the exhaust gas is very low?"
But Watson hesitated for a moment:
"Well... the low characteristic value is only one aspect, the key is the component Proportion.”
“Dr. Richard Partridge happened to be present when the calculation results were sent to me. According to him, this data is closer to that of an aerospace engine. Characteristics of naval gas turbines.”
This name is not unfamiliar to Bodi.
Richard Partridge, Chief Engineer of Rolls-Royce Naval Systems Division, is also the R&D leader of two key gas turbine projects, WR21 and MT30.
Since the MT30 was developed based on the core machine of the Trent 800, Partridge had worked with them for a long time about a few years ago.
This old gentleman’s judgment is quite weighty.
So Bodi thought seriously for a while.
But in the end, he firmed up his judgment:
"It's unlikely to be a gas turbine... As far as I know, the Chinese department responsible for developing marine gas turbines is located further north, and I have seen a compressor being tested. Although it is far away, it can be seen that it is not It does not conform to the air intake characteristics of a gas turbine..."
At this point, Bodi's voice stopped abruptly.
He suddenly recalled the slightly strange blade design of the compressor.
Especially the third-level static son whose thickness is unreasonably large...
"I have an immature guess..."
Bodi suddenly changed the subject:
"The appearance of that compressor is very strange, but it also gives me a very familiar feeling... I never remembered where I had seen it before, but now I suddenly thought "Get up."
"It is the CLEAN plan under the EU FP5 project in the late 1990s. At that time, Germany's MTU, Sweden's Volvo and France's Snecma jointly developed A concept turboprop machine using intercooling recuperation technology has been developed. The solution proposed by Snecma is to integrate the intercooler behind the stator blades..."
"..."
“Although this plan is far from being implemented, considering the close relationship between the Chinese and the French, they are likely to inherit this idea!”
