By the time Zhang Yi and the two engines returned to the base, it was already a week later. However, all the testing work on the two engines had finally been completed, and the last 50,000 hours of life test work were left.

Regardless of whether they care about themselves, Xiang Junkai, the designer of this engine, and others are very confident about whether this engine can pass 50,000 hours of test running.

The first time after returning to the base, Zhang Yi immediately came to the precision machinery design room of the base.

"Lao Xiang! How is the situation at our base during my absence? How is the design and manufacturing of the engine production line going?" Zhang Yi asked.

"Boss! In the past few days while you were away, the precision machinery design room at our base has started the design of the engine production line. Because the structure of our engine is much simpler than traditional aero engines, preliminary results have now been made.

If nothing else happens, we can start processing the production line parts next week." Xiang Juncai said.

After listening to Xiang Juncai's words, Zhang Yi nodded and replied: "Very good! Mr. Xiang, please pay close attention to the progress of the production line and strive to complete it before the year. The military will most likely send people to our company in the next few days.

Like our company ordering this engine from us.”

"Okay! Mr. Zhang, I will inform the person in charge of the precision machinery design office at our base." Xiang Juncai nodded and replied.

"By the way! Mr. Qi! How is the design of the aerospace vehicle at our base going? When can it be put on the shelves?" Zhang Yi thought for a while and asked.

Although it is said that the aerospace department of the Dahua Empire is also conducting research in this area and is about to achieve results, Zhang Yi and his Colorful Stone Group also want to have independent aerospace capabilities, so he is responsible for research in this area.

Won't give up.

"Mr. Zhang! The design work of the aerospace aircraft is now in progress. Since we now have the engine and energy supply equipment for the aerospace aircraft, the aerospace aircraft we designed also revolves around these two items.

.According to my estimation, the design work of our aerospace aircraft will be completed before the end of the year, and it can be manufactured by the beginning of next year." Xiang Juncai said.

At around 10:00 in the morning, Zhang Yi stood at the control tower of their base's flight runway, looking at the sky in the distance, because last night, she received a notice from the military that the military would send people to the ground around 10:00 this morning.

Come to their base and prepare to order a batch of engines from their Colorful Stone Group.

Not long after Zhang Yi arrived at the command podium, a large transport aircraft appeared over the base. Zhang Yi was very familiar with the large transport aircraft above him. Yes, this large transport aircraft was a large transport aircraft.

The largest domestic military transport currently produced in the Chinese Empire is the No. 20 transport aircraft.

Not long after, this large domestic transport plane stopped at the end of the base's flight runway, and after the plane stopped, more than a dozen military personnel got off the plane.

Among these people, except Deputy Commander Sun, Zhang Yi did not know most of the soldiers, and Deputy Commander Sun's military rank was not too high or even a little low among these military personnel.

Seeing these soldiers coming down, Zhang Yi quickly walked out of the command podium and greeted them.

"Welcome! Welcome! Deputy Commander Sun! And generals, welcome to our Qicai Stone Group. I am Zhang Yi, the chairman of Qicai Stone Group!" Zhang Yi introduced himself and shook hands with these soldiers one by one.

"Mr. Zhang! Let me introduce to you. This is Minister Li, the Minister of the Equipment Department of our Dahua Empire." After Zhang Yi shook hands with them one by one, Deputy Commander Sun introduced these generals to Zhang Yi one by one.

.

After the introduction, Zhang Yi and them went to the engine assembly shop after discussing their doubts.

"Mr. Zhang! The Spring Festival is coming soon. Both you and us are very busy right now.

The main purpose of our visit this time is to ask, when will your company's engine be ready for mass production?

If possible, I hope you can mass-produce it as soon as possible. Our military is very anxious about this engine." Just when Zhang Yi and these military personnel had just entered the assembly workshop, they came to Qicai Stone Group to place an order.

The head of the Military General Assembly Department couldn't wait to ask.

"Minister Li! We have already started the design work on this engine. If nothing unexpected happens, our engine will be ready for small-scale mass production at the beginning of next year." Zhang Yi said!

"What about pricing? How much does your engine cost?" Minister Li asked.

"Fifty million per unit." Zhang Yi said.

"Fifty million? Mr. Zhang's price is too high! You must know that the price of ordinary engines in our Dahua Empire is only around ten million. Your company's price is too high. It has exceeded the engine price of 50 million."

Times the price. Even our military cannot afford such a price. I wonder if Mr. Zhang can lower the price." Minister Li frowned and said.

"Minister Li, this price is already the lowest price we can offer. After all, this is not an ordinary aero engine, but a new concept engine. The materials used in this engine are the same as those used in ordinary engines.

Materials have essential differences. Not to mention other things, just the ultra-high temperature superconducting materials used in this engine are already very expensive, not to mention the materials used in the combustion chamber of this engine are even better in performance.

It is an ultra-high temperature material that far exceeds that of ordinary engines, so the price is already the lowest." Zhang Yi replied.

Later, Zhang Yi and Minister Li talked for a long time about the price of this engine, but they could not come to an agreement. After all, in terms of cost, the price of the materials alone for this engine is more than 0 million. If it continues

Including labor and other expenses, the price will definitely exceed 50 million, but fortunately, Qicai Stone Group has enough high-tech workers, and after mass production in the future, they are also planning to use fully automatic production lines according to Qicai Guangke's model.

If this is the case, the price of the engine will come down, but even so, the overall price of each engine will exceed 5 million.

"Well, Mr. Zhang, in that case, I'm not involved in the price. What can I say? Just go with the 50 million one you said. But Mr. Zhang, I hope to bring some women's engines back this time.

"I wonder, Mr. Zhang, if you have any in stock now?" Minister Li asked.

After listening to Minister Li's words, Zhang Yi thought for a while and said: "Minister Li, apart from the engines that our Qicaishi Group is testing this engine, I can only give you three engines. If there are more, we will

There really is no more.”
