Chapter 133 The LM2500 gas turbine is a good thing!
The introduction of Mao Xiong’s 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine by 077 Machinery Arsenal is undoubtedly a major victory.
It directly promoted the progress of Yanguo tank research and development, raising it to more than one level.
It also means that Yanguo is no longer restricted by others in independently designing, developing and producing tanks.
As time goes by, domestic engine technology has gradually made up for it, and there will be an explosive period in the future.
At the same time, Zhang Lao and other senior naval officials also saw this successful experience and hoped to apply it to the field of warships.
They are eager to have the 077 Machinery Arsenal introduce a powerful warship engine to meet the growing demand.
Considering the tonnage of the Aegis guided missile destroyer and possible future development directions, a suitable gas turbine will play a huge role and can be applied to many types of warships.
Faced with such a major task, Lin Chenran couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face.
Achieving this goal will not be easy.
Lin Chenran could only do his best to introduce suitable gas turbines from Mao Xiong.
It is not enough to rely solely on the 077 Machinery Arsenal.
We still need the help of the Yan Kingdom Navy!
Currently, the relationship between Yan Guo and Ying Jiang is at the end of its honeymoon period.
The LM2500 gas turbine in the hands of the other party can be introduced through negotiation.
The performance of this LM2500 gas turbine is very superior.
It is an aeroderivative gas turbine developed by General Electric Company in the 1960s based on the TF39 turbofan engine.
The sales volume of LM2500 gas turbine is amazing.
Occupy the vast majority of the world's ship gas turbines.
"LM2500 gas turbine?"
After hearing the name, Mr. Zhang's expression became serious and he fell into deep thought.
He is very familiar with this gas turbine.
Back then, he went to Yingjiang for military exchanges at the invitation of Yingjiang. During this period, he was fortunate enough to visit General Electric Company and witness the LM2500 gas turbine with his own eyes.
What he never expected was that Lin Chenran would now propose to introduce the LM2500 gas turbine in Yingjiang's hands into the Yan Kingdom Navy.
"Mr. Zhang, did you know? Yingjiang General Electric's LM2500 gas turbine is indeed outstanding."
"If possible, I suggest directly introducing a complete set of technologies. In this way, the development of our country's navy will be greatly promoted and improved." Lin Chenran said excitedly that he has full confidence in the LM2500 gas turbine.
Although Lin Chenran strongly advocates the introduction of LM2500 gas turbines and related technologies and production lines, he also knows very well that Yingjiang will not easily sell these core technologies and production lines.
It’s always good to give it a try, just in case Eagle Sauce agrees!
Although this possibility is unlikely, it cannot be completely ruled out.
International cooperation and transactions are often affected by various factors, and sometimes even seemingly impossible things may turn out unexpectedly.
It is worth trying to introduce the LM2500 gas turbine.
Mr. Zhang took a deep breath, with a faint smile on his face, and said firmly: "Our Navy will go all out to introduce LM2500 gas turbines and strive to obtain related technologies and production lines."
His eyes were full of expectation, but also a little worried. Because dealing with Eagle Sauce has always been very difficult. Even though the relationship between the two countries is now in the so-called "honeymoon period", it is difficult to obtain advanced technology and production lines from the other party.
Mr. Zhang continued: "If we cannot successfully introduce relevant technologies and production lines in the end, then how many sets of LM2500 gas turbines do we need to purchase at least?"
Lin Chenran replied without hesitation: "The more, the better."
"According to the configuration of four sets of LM2500 gas turbines on one Aegis guided missile destroyer, plus each ship is equipped with a set of spare units, more than 20 sets need to be purchased."
"But if there is no harvest from Mao Xiong, your navy can negotiate with Yingjiang."
Having said this, Lin Chenran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a confident smile.
These are two plans AB. If it doesn’t work for furry bears, then look for eagle sauce.
It’s always good to be prepared!
"No problem, we will make preparations in advance. If you don't succeed, then our navy will start negotiations with Yingjiang regarding the purchase of LM2500 gas turbines and the introduction of technology and production lines." Mr. Zhang responded to Lin Chenran's approach Very satisfied.
He not only proposed the main plan, but also considered possible problems and prepared backup plans.
The power output composition has always been a problem that has plagued the development of Yanguo's military.
Whether it is the aviation heart engine of an aircraft or the power output turbine of a warship, they are all facing the dilemma of being stuck.
Even the tank engines have been lagging behind.
If it were not for the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine introduced by the 077 Machinery Military Factory from Mao Xiong, the new domestic main battle tanks would probably continue to use the old tank engines.
This is very frustrating!
……
Lin Chenran wanted to go back to the 077 Machinery Arsenal and make some preparations.
Go on a business trip to Mao Xiong!
This business trip is also aimed at the gas turbine in Mao Xiong’s hands.
…
Linjiang Province 077 Machinery Military Factory
Lin Chenran just returned to the office.
Song Xiyun opened the office door.
"Mr. Song, do it this way!"
Lin Chenran enthusiastically invited the other party to sit on the sofa.
And asked his assistant Xiao Liang to pour a cup of hot tea for Song Xiyun.
Then Lin Chenran complained loudly: "Mr. Song, this time I went to attend the Navy's new guided missile destroyer seminar. Our 077 Machinery Arsenal directly suffered a loss, and was directly kicked into a trap by Mr. Zhang."
"I even suspect that Mr. Zhang asked me to participate in the seminar on the Navy's new guided missile destroyer because he wanted us to take over the 704 Shipyard and then let us develop it."
The more Lin Chenran thought about it, the more he felt like this.
Use the funds from the 077 Machinery Arsenal to develop the 704 Shipyard.
Whether it is the Navy, Army, or Air Force, they are all targeting the 077 Machinery Arsenal. They want to cooperate with each other to develop themselves!
The main reason is that 077 Machinery Military Factory has strong funds.
Song Xiyun, on the other hand, smiled slightly and did not express his opinion.
Because he knew that Lin Chenran was just complaining.
But my heart blossomed with joy, and my whole body flew up.
077 Machinery Arsenal annexed 704 Shipyard, causing it to grow rapidly.
Lin Chenran saw that Song Xiyun did not respond to him.
Everyone was embarrassed.
"You understand, I understand, I understand."
Song Xiyun smiled like I understand you.
"Forehead?"
"Nothing can escape your eyes."
Lin Chenran scratched his head in embarrassment.
In fact, Lin Chenran had long wanted his 077 Machinery Arsenal to annex a shipyard.
It’s just that I have never found a suitable shipyard.
And now the Yanguo Navy directly gave the 704 Shipbuilding Factory to the 077 Machinery Arsenal.
