Chapter 1027 Sometimes, too fast may not be a good thing
If you want to say who is happiest at this moment, it must be Kelly Toulson.
In fact, her first thought was to ask if the vacation that Bodi had promised just now was still considered.
After all, the latter is about waiting for this busy period to pass.
Although he didn’t know much about technology, Kelly could tell that this period of dark overtime work was probably about to end.
However, after feeling the atmosphere in the office for a while, she felt that now might not be a good time to ask this question.
It would be better to just follow Bodie's request and release the news. By then the deal will be done and he will have no choice but to disagree.
Thinking of this, Kelly quickly said that as an administrative secretary, he should not be too involved in technical work, and then quickly turned around and left...
But in fact, Bodie did not pay attention to Kelly at all. .
I didn’t even notice that the latter had left.
Mainly because of the news just now, the sequelae are indeed a bit serious.
"One week..."
He knocked on the table a little irritably, raised his head and looked at Norris again:
"Can't it be faster?"
In fact, Bodi had been prepared to wait for 3-4 months.
However, preparation returned to preparation. When he heard that the product had been offline, but it would take another week to be delivered to the UK, all his previous mental construction collapsed in an instant.
I wish I could receive the sample the next day, see the test results on the third day, and then completely switch to the past technical route and beat the GP7200 with lower fuel consumption...
Urgent Urgent, I am the King of Urgent.jpg
"Well..."
Norris looked embarrassed:
"Director, you also know that after all, import and export still need to go through customs declaration procedures, and the total size of those samples is not small. It is impossible to check in passenger luggage. There are not many cargo planes between China and the UK. If you go in advance, I'm afraid..."< br>
Obviously, as far as cross-border transportation in the early 21st century is concerned, 7 days is indeed not slow in normal terms.
In fact, this is because the Aerospace Power Group has exerted some influence through the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, otherwise the customs declaration process alone would have taken longer.
Of course, Luo Luo still doesn’t know about this for the time being.
And Bodi is naturally still a little unwilling to give up:
"Maybe we can send a cargo plane to specially transport those things back..."
As one of the top giants in the global aviation manufacturing industry, Rolls-Royce naturally has its own fleet of transport aircraft, operating including L1011, Boeing Multiple models of aircraft including 757 and 777.
For a job as big as the Trent 900, it’s not a bad trip.
“But supervisor, if you specifically adjust the plane, the destination and cargo category must be recorded. This is difficult to fake.”
When Bodi was already a little impatient , Norris still maintains a considerable degree of sanity:
"By the time of the review at the end of the year, it is possible that the superiors..."
This sentence instantly reminded the former:
"Hiss..."
Podi suddenly woke up.
Chinese people deliver goods in advance, which is not always a good thing for them...
According to the previous plan, in order to hide the truth from the board of directors, especially to prevent them from thinking that such advanced technology can be developed with only tens of thousands of pounds per year, the Trent 900 project will inject large sums of money into Ciro in the next few months. R&D funds and spread this investment throughout the year through a series of financial means.
In this way, it can be said that Ciro Company gained some new inspiration in the process of helping China master the SPEI MK202 technology, and before that they had been using China's resources to conduct theoretical research.
But because this technology is very important to the Trent 900, a lot of money has been invested starting this year to advance it to the engineering stage and then solve the problems that have troubled us for many years.
Although the price-performance ratio is still a bit too high, because there are "Chinese resources" as a black box in the middle, it is barely justified.
But this requires that the entire project must remain low-key until the end of the year.
Sending a special plane to pick him up would definitely eliminate the need to think twice.
Even if everything goes well later, there will be problems even with the formal contract provided to China -
It's too early.
The money hasn’t been fully paid yet, but your production contract has been signed?
It always seems a little strange.
But if we really wait until the end of the year as planned...
Podi really doesn't have the patience anymore.
"Forget it, let's talk about it then... At worst, we will have to make a fuss about the contract time..."
Bodi shook his head helplessly and thought to himself.
After all, it is pushing back the signing date rather than moving it forward, which actually does no harm to China. Then, he stood up again, ready to tell Dr. Lapworth the good news.
As the developer of new film cooling technology, the latter is undoubtedly the one who is most looking forward to the success of the Chinese people among everyone...
...
In Luoluo While everyone at the headquarters was waiting impatiently, the seven days passed as long as seven years.
Finally, they received a box from China on August 10th.
Inside are 5 sets of turbine parts that have been processed.
Although it is already an outdated model, it is definitely the most precious thing for the current Trent 900 R&D team.
In the test workshop, Lapworth removed a high-pressure turbine blade from its bracket and placed it on the integrated elastic displacement sensor next to it.
In fact, until now, there is still no particularly perfect technology that can accurately measure the detailed data of this ultra-small special-shaped inner hole.
Only specially modified probes, combined with elastic displacement sensors, can be used to obtain as accurate results as possible.
Fortunately, the air film hole is indeed precise, but there are some details that don't need to be stuck too tightly.
After all, in engineering design, everyone will leave a margin...
Looking at Lapworth, who was immersed in the test bench, the air in the workshop was inevitably a bit depressing.
Everyone is waiting for the final result.
"Supervisor, wait a minute... Do you need to go to the simulation test bench to test it?"
This meeting was so tense that no one knew who was who. Anyway, one person, perhaps to ease the tense atmosphere, suddenly asked Bodie in a low voice.
“No need.”
Bodi didn’t even move his eyes, he just moved his lips:
“These sets of samples are just the breath of Trent 900. The membrane hole design is moved to RB211 as it is, just to initially witness the other party’s processing capabilities... There is no design at all, so there is no test standard.”
“As long as the physical size is OK and no damage is found. , it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Because the entire plan to find a Chinese OEM was made within a few days, it was inevitable that there would be some omissions.
But as long as there are no mistakes on the big picture, it will be fine.
After all, after the real product is in place, the entire process will definitely be tested.
Rolls-Royce has a century-old history and never dares to be careless in terms of reputation.
Especially... this is the first time that core components have to be outsourced.
"But among the parts we really need to process... there are two sets of low-pressure turbine discs made of titanium alloy. The processing properties of these are completely different from those of nickel-based alloys. Could it be..."
Another one The voice also asked.
"Well...it just depends on the situation."
Podi sighed softly:
"If it doesn't work, the low-pressure turbine can also be used back to the traditional Material... Anyway, the original choice of titanium alloy was just for technical verification. It is just two sets of turbines. In fact, there is not much difference in weight. ”
"Director, have you ever thought about it, if the quality of the Chinese products is not up to standard, then during this period of time we..."
The third question is obviously a bit inappropriate.
Not only Bodi, but also the faces of several people next to him suddenly dropped——
Everyone has actually thought about this matter at some point.
The worst result is to continue to use the design that reduces the combustion chamber outlet temperature.
In fact, there is not much loss.
But psychologically, it is completely different...
Fortunately.
At this time, Dr. Lapworth finally raised his head.
“Hu——”
She habitually stretched out her hand to comb her hair, and then breathed a sigh of relief:
"The size is up to standard!"
