Chapter 1064. What kind of waves can three people make?
Now that the matter is over, there is no suspense about the outcome.
There are only zero and countless times of compromise.
In the view of Panos Watson, who is about to be imminent, the so-called investigation team of Huaxia is not large in scale, and it all bears the name of Ciro Company. They also said that they can give you 7 days in advance. Completed delivery within 12 days.
It’s not unacceptable.
Anyway, we already have a lot of troubles in front of us, and we don’t care if we have a little more.
What's more, Bodi's words also have a very obvious tendency to induce.
In short, after a short discussion, the two decided unanimously to agree to China's request.
Of course, I don’t agree casually.
There are additional requirements.
First, the scale cannot exceed four people, and after arriving at Rolls-Royce headquarters, all investigation activities must first obtain permission.
The second is that the blades must be delivered before returning to the UK. Since Bodi is in China, it can be handed over to him directly.
Third, you cannot enter the test area where test benches No. 57 and 58 are located.
After all, in addition to the Trent 900 that has been transferred, there are many other top-secret models that are still in the concept stage.
For example, the detonation engine that was previously blamed for the blame, and the zero-emission aviation engine that uses hydrogen energy as fuel, etc.
Not to mention Chinese people, Americans can't just show them when they come (probably).
To put it bluntly, I still have a bit of the past mindset and feel that the Chinese people definitely want to take this opportunity to steal technology.
But in fact, although Chang Haonan’s purpose was to accumulate experience for the Haofa Group, he already had an idea of the basic plan for the Turbofan 20 at this time, so there was really no need to go back and follow Luo’s plan. Luo's design was reverse engineered.
So for him, these two requests made by the British were basically nothing, and he immediately asked Ren Bingda and the others to agree.
So, seven days later, a three-person Chinese delegation headed by Ren Bingda took twenty low-pressure turbine blades and boarded a flight to the UK with Bodi.
Along with the leaves, there are three tips given by Chang Haonan before leaving...
Of course, this is just a statement.
Isn’t it true that Ren Bing arrived in the UK and then separated...
...
When several people landed in London, they then arrived in Derbyshire via transit. When Luo arrived at the headquarters, it was already early morning after another day.
The continuous travel from France to England to China for many days made Bodi a little unbearable, so his original plan was to rest for a night and hand over the blades and people to Watson the next morning.
But the Chinese trio, who had been recuperating for a long time and were just waiting to perform in front of the British, would naturally not agree.
But Bodi didn't dare to let them run around alone.
In the end, I had no choice but to endure my tiredness and went to find Georgia Wilson overnight.
The latter was originally the engineer on test bed No. 58 and was responsible for all ground tests of the Trent 900.
Later, since something happened on the test bench, the entire investigation was naturally handed over to him.
"Director Bodie... you are finally back."
Although Wilson said Bodie's name, his eyes were fixed on the big ball in the latter's hand. on the lockbox.
Obviously, he is still more concerned about the restoration of the subsequent accident than Bodi.
“In recent days, more and more media have appeared around us, and even Airbus has begun to contact us directly, obviously suspicious...”
As he took the lockbox, he complained about the current situation.
But just as he stood up, he was interrupted by Bodi's cough:
"Qiao, I have a few more people here that I want to introduce to you."
< br>It was only then that Wilson raised his head and carefully observed the other three people following Bodie.
It is early morning in the UK in April, and the temperature is still a bit cold.
Therefore, the three of them, Ren Bingda, all dress up in British standards.
If you don’t pay attention to the skin color, it looks like the most ordinary old British Union Jack.
"Is it...the delegation from China?"
In fact, Watson had already told Wilson about this a week ago.
It’s just that the latter didn’t expect that the other party would come over at this damn time.
"Strictly speaking, we are now the Trent 900 accident investigation team sent by Xiluo Company."
Ren Bingda took the initiative to take two steps forward and introduced himself in English that was not particularly proficient:
"My name is Ren Bingda, and I am the leader of the investigation team. If you need any cooperation or help, you can communicate with me."
"Welcome."
After hesitating for about half a second, Wilson raised his arm and shook hands with Ren Bingda.
Then, he raised the password box he was carrying in his other hand and gestured:
“But I think... being able to deliver these blades in the shortest possible time is already the biggest benefit to us. Helped.”
Obviously, he did not think that just three Chinese people could play a decisive role in restoring the truth of the accident.
In fact, Wilson himself has basically determined that there is no quality problem in the turbine structure itself, but it is external damage that causes the speed to break through the limit, and eventually the blades break off and penetrate the casing.
It’s just that the source of this external damage cannot be determined in a short time, so additional experiments are needed to prove one’s point of view.
"But we don't think so..." Looking at Wilson, who seemed to be unsmooth and looked like a standard engineer, Ren Bingda stopped talking in circles:
"At least, we need to witness the entire investigation process. "
Wilson raised his head and looked at Bodie with pleading eyes.
The latter was already sleepy at this time and just wanted to get rid of the trouble at hand, so he shrugged helplessly:
"No way, the agreement is indeed like this. Their independent activities require our permission, but they must also participate in the entire investigation process."
He paused for a few seconds and then specially asked:< br>
"The final investigation conclusion also needs their signature to be complete..."
The meaning is very clear, that is, at least in terms of face, you cannot offend too severely.
With no room for maneuver, Wilson rolled his eyes and nodded:
"Okay... Then you come with me, but you can't touch the engine parts without my permission, even the wreckage. You can't read relevant documents at will, you can't enter and leave the investigation site at will, and you can't take pictures..."
"..."
He said more than ten items in a row, completely treating the three of them as visitors who could only cause trouble.
Ren Bingda even wanted to choke back.
But after thinking about Chang Haonan’s special instructions before this trip, he still took a deep breath and managed to calm down.
"In a few days you will know who is useless..."
He thought angrily in his heart.
Soon, the three of them followed Wilson to a workshop specially set aside for accident investigation.
Almost the moment they entered the door, they were shocked by the scene and almost stopped in their tracks -
An engine with the rear half almost broken was placed on a on the bracket.
And around it, there are densely packed fragments, at least thousands of pieces...
In other words, wreckage.
Broken, twisted, melted...
There are many ways to damage it.
A considerable part of them cannot even see their original functions and appearance.
And this is the most troublesome part of the accident investigation.
It is difficult to determine which is the cause of the accident and which is the secondary damage caused by it.
About two dozen investigators are checking their production and manufacturing conditions, as well as the working data in the last test.
Considering that it is already late at night, I am afraid there will be more people working here during the day.
In comparison, the three of them do seem a bit weak.
For a moment, even Ren Bingda had some doubts about the scope of investigation drawn by Chang Haonan.
It’s not that I doubt the other party’s judgment, but that I doubt whether enough evidence can be found to convince the British.
For example, a broken oil pipeline.
Now more than half of the fuel and oil pipelines on the entire machine are broken. Why do you say that a certain section is the source of the accident?
As for the other two people, their reactions were almost the same.
"Mr. Ren."
One of them lowered his voice and whispered:
"Just the three of us... are we going to find a substandard part from this pile?"
Fortunately, Ren Bingda has cooperated with Chang Haonan after all, and knows that in this situation, it is most taboo to act on his own:
“Follow Mr. Chang’s instructions before going abroad. If no problem can be found... Let’s talk about it then.”
The entire conversation between them was in Chinese. In this era, it was still encrypted, at least Wilson couldn't understand it at all.
But it is not difficult to guess the content of the conversation from the tone.
The latter turned back with a little ridicule on his face:
"How about, where are you going to start participating in the investigation?"
In fact, if Wilson puts the Chinese trio into Put it aside and let them watch, Ren Bingda really felt a little numb.
After all, even if there is a clear direction of investigation, it is difficult to find the problem just by observing from a distance.
But maybe he felt that the three of them would be unable to deal with this situation, so he asked more questions.
And this sentence undoubtedly gave an opportunity.
Ren Bingda decisively ignored his tone and responded immediately:
"We are responsible for the production of the high and low pressure turbine parts, so from these two parts and the corresponding Get the external receiver accessories! ”
Such a decisive answer confused Wilson.
His original expectation was to show off his power first, wait until he was confused, and then send the other party to do something casually.
However, now that others have clearly expressed their wishes, and coupled with what Bodi said just now, it is a bit difficult to step down.
However, until this moment, Wilson still didn’t feel that the three people were causing any waves based on their naked eyes.
Finally decided to agree:
"Okay, but don't forget those requirements just now. If you need to compare the parts with the design plan, you can ask me or other staff to do it for you..."
"Okay."
Ren Bingda, who was suffocating in his heart, nodded, and then called the two people behind him to step forward together...
