Chapter 29 Cooperation cancelled; Lucy, this is not allowed! (Seeking for further reading)
Cancel the cooperation with CFM on the overall integrated propulsion system? Daxia wants to develop its own 100% domestically produced propulsion system?
"The memorandum of cooperation on this project was finalized last year, and the cooperation is expected to be formalized in two months."
Xu Qianren frowned and expressed his worries: "If we change it now, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
When Daxia COMAC was established last year, it had already set the tone to use the engine propulsion system provided by CFM.
Now that everything is ready, making such a huge change now is no less than having all the hard work of more than a year in vain.
He couldn't accept this.
Zhang Yuli stared at him, still repeating what he just said: "This time we develop everything ourselves, including their engine integration system."
“Build a large aircraft that is 100% domestically produced!”
Xu Qianren's face was full of confusion: "Dean Zhang, if the cooperation with CFM is cancelled, given the current self-research capabilities of COMAC."
"It takes too long to create a suitable engine propulsion system, and the C919 project cannot wait that long."
If a purely domestic propulsion system can be used, who would want to use someone else’s engine?
He was unwilling, and Daxia COMAC was even more unwilling.
Xu Qianren has a very clear view of the faces of these foreign companies, even though they were so nice during the initial negotiations.
Nowadays, CFM will meet the requirements of Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China as much as possible. Even the overall integrated propulsion system has almost given a preliminary plan as quickly as possible.
But this is just because the cooperation has not officially started yet. When they need to mass-produce aircraft, companies like CFM will definitely use their traditional skills. They will increase prices when they need to, restrict sales when they need to, and when they need to choke your neck. Definitely no relief.
However, how easy is it to develop an economically feasible aeroengine? Time waits for no one!
"Choosing CFM as a cooperation is really an expedient measure that has no other choice." Xu Qianren sighed: "In the future, we will definitely replace it with a domestic integrated propulsion system."
"In order to develop a domestically produced large aircraft as soon as possible, we have no other alternatives to choose from."
After all, as a joint venture between Air Gallic and Eagle General Electric, CFM occupies more than 40% of the global commercial aviation engine market share, including General Electric's original 15% share.
The entire CFM International has more than 55% share and is almost a giant company in this field.
It can be seen from its name alone that the full name of CFM is: International Engine Company. If it is not chosen for cooperation, there will be no better substitute.
Zhang Yuli and others are also very clear about this: "I know your concerns. How could you cancel the cooperation rashly without complete preparation?"
Facing Xu Qianren's doubtful gaze, he took out a large stack of newly printed drawings: "If you look at these first, you will understand why I say this."
Picking up the top few drawings, Xu Qianren froze in place as soon as he caught his eye.
【Analysis of new flight management computer system (FMC).】
[Analysis of new commercial aviation high-thrust engines:
Using 83% of the bypass airflow and 17% of the core airflow's total thrust will allow the turbofan engine to minimize fuel combustion in the combustion chamber. Use Iec to dynamically control the N1 axis speed so that all core and bypass airflow thrusts adapt to the current Flight status.】
【Technical parameters:
Fan diameter: 3.251m.
High pressure compressor stage: 9 stages.
Low pressure turbine: 6th stage.
Maximum thrust: 520KN】
"Hiss this??"
Xu Qianren took a cursory glance and suddenly took a breath of air: "Hiss this? A design drawing of a super large civil aviation aircraft??"
Although he held a management position at COMAC rather than a scientific research position, how could he not know the value of these technologies?
Just from the perspective of the 520KN thrust engine, isn't this very close to the General Motors GE-115B?
"Now you know why we have to cancel our cooperation with CFM, right?" Zheng Lixing said cheerfully, drinking tea nearby. "I know, I'll go back and inform the people at CFM right away!"
Xu Qianren nodded, his hands trembling slightly with excitement.
He completely believed that this technology was absolutely real.
Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing had no reason to lie to him about this kind of thing, and they notified him to come to Xia Ke Academy, and the notice was issued directly from the highest-level meeting.
With this kind of technology, who would be willing to serve these foreign devils?
Climb them all for me!
the next day.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Today is Saturday, Lu Ze's favorite vacation day.
Eagle Sauce, a small town outside the LLNL laboratory.
It was still the same coffee shop. Lu Ze sat quietly on a chair on the street and ordered a cup of coffee.
He was holding a book in his hand, immersed in reading it with relish: "Oh, there is such a trick that falls from the sky?"
Of course, the title of the book first excludes Jin Ping Mei.
"Sir, your iced latte." This was a female voice that seemed somewhat familiar.
"Okay, just put it on the table."
Lu Ze was still immersed in reading, and replied without raising his head.
He picked up the iced latte and took a sip. Suddenly, a huge bitterness filled his mouth: "Pfft, why is it still so bitter?"
"Is there something wrong with this coffee shop? Didn't I already tell you to put sugar and milk in the coffee?"
Just as Lu Ze was complaining, a melodious laughter came from his ears: "Lu Ze, by default, coffee cannot be added with sugar or milk, so that you can drink its original taste."
"So, do you know why I never eat bitter melon?"
Lu Ze looked helplessly at the girl in front of him.
She had said many times that she would not drink coffee without sugar, but she refused to listen and kept asking him to try it.
Wearing a white shirt and jeans, Lucy showed off her perfect figure. With her back to the sun, even her hair was shimmering under the light. She seemed to be the perfect combination of cuteness and beauty.
The return rate is a thousand percent.
Lu Ze has become somewhat immune to this kind of beauty.
Frowning, I drank the unsweetened iced latte with difficulty: "Lucy, what do you want from me today?"
If Lucy hadn't called him out so early in the morning, he would probably have stayed in the dormitory and slept in.
"Lu Ze, is it fun in Daxia?" Lucy sat down and supported her chin with her hands.
For the West in this period, everything in Daxia was full of mystery.
Lucy even asked him several times before: Do Sichuan people ride pandas to school every day? Can I give one to her?
Just kidding, he hasn’t even seen a panda a few times!
"I think it's not bad, at least it's much better than here in Yingjiang." Lu Ze thought for a moment and continued: "There are many cultural and historical sites in my hometown, such as the thousand-year-old murals Mogao Grottoes, Yumen Pass, etc."
After all, compared to Yingjiang, which has a history of more than 200 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, which place in Daxia is not a scenic spot?
