The next day, news came out from the Third Aircraft Department that the Bluebird aircraft engine had been assembled and was about to enter experimental status.
As the news spread, it naturally attracted attention from all parties.
In particular, the aircraft manufacturer in Shengjing sent people to participate in the experimental testing as soon as possible. They had been waiting for this engine for too long.
In the machinery factory, when Yang Xiaotao came to the assembly warehouse, Liu Huaimin was sitting in the warehouse.
When Yang Youning saw Yang Xiaotao, he pulled him aside and said excitedly, "Did you know? The Three Machinery Department has already made it."
"I had to work two days in advance. I worked overtime."
"Do you know what this means?"
"It means that the aircraft factory will choose their engine immediately, and we will lose the opportunity to make it again..."
Originally, Yang Youning thought that their progress would not be bad, even if it was slower, it would not be slow for too long.
The best result is to build the engines one after another.
Then the two experiment together.
It's good now. The three-machine department's work has been completed directly, but it will take at least one day for our own side.
Isn't this just being compared to others?
"Lao Yang, I know everything."
Yang Xiaotao said calmly, then patted Yang Youning's arm, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
"Didn't I say yesterday that ours is the best."
"Believe me."
When Yang Youning heard Yang Xiaotao say this, he didn't know what to say.
Yang Xiaotao is not in a hurry, and it is useless for him to be anxious.
Liu Huaimin also stood up at this time.
"You just have to figure it out yourself."
"The chief is still waiting for news."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I know it well."
Immediately walking to the warehouse, Yang Xiaotao looked at the scattered parts on the ground, his expression became solemn.
If there is something on the design drawing, it means it is a required part of the engine.
Therefore, all the components on the ground should be assembled.
Even if there is one extra screw, it is a problem.
This forced Yang Xiaotao to be cautious.
"Mr. Yang, shall we start?"
Zhang Guanyu reminded from the side, while Hao Pingchuan yawned from the side.
During this time he has been staying in the machine shop.
Whenever Zhang Guanyu has something to do, he will listen to it.
When he had nothing to do, he would go to the training ground behind to train with the people from the security department.
Of course, he also knew what Yang Xiaotao was doing in the machine factory in the past two days. He also watched Yang Xiaotao assemble a bunch of parts that gave him a headache. There were so many parts that he was dazzled just by looking at them.
According to Zhang Guanyu, many screws here look similar, but there are still differences in size and specifications.
He was even more speechless after hearing this.
This is still a human being.
"It's okay, let's do it step by step."
Yang Xiaotao smiled at Zhang Guanyu, "Half of those who travel a hundred miles are ninety. This last step to go out and walk steadily is the key to success."
"As for the time, it's already behind us anyway. The difference is almost one day or two days."
"Let's go slower and be more calm."
Zhang Guanyu nodded and immediately came to him, ready to help.
When Hao Pingchuan saw it, he walked aside and sat down next to Yang Youning.
"Director Yang, can your engine be installed on the ship?"
The sudden inquiry left Yang Youning at a loss. He felt that he had heard wrongly. "What did you say? This is the engine of the plane. Put it on the ship?"
"Yes, why can't it be used on ships?"
"The diesel engine you made can be put on a speedboat. This engine is bigger. Wouldn't it be better to put it on a boat?"
Hao Pingchuan had spent some time in the shipyard and knew a little bit about the shipyard's affairs, so he naturally knew about the engine.
And there's nothing wrong with his reason.
Hearing Hao Pingchuan's reason, Yang Youning was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth wide and his head turned rapidly.
yes.
Since diesel engines can be used on ships.
Then there is no reason why this is a better aviation engine than a diesel engine.
Previously, I was still worried about the use of the engine. I was talking about designing an airplane. If it can be used on a ship, who cares about the airplane?
As if opening the door to a new world, Yang Youning stretched out his hand and patted Hao Pingchuan's shoulder vigorously, "Okay, Old Hao, you can wake up the dreamer with just one sentence."
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, did you hear that?"
Liu Huaimin on the side listened to the second half of the sentence, but it did not prevent him from understanding the situation.
Moreover, putting it on a ship is also a way out.
"Finish it first and then talk."
Liu Huaimin looked at Yang Xiaotao who was still busy and felt that it was a little early to say this.
"Then just wait."
After Yang Youning finished speaking, he started chatting with Hao Pingchuan. The two of them gathered together and whispered, and laughed from time to time.
Liu Huaimin walked around the warehouse and finally returned to the office.
Just leave this to Yang Xiaotao, he can't help with anything else.
The sun sets in the west, contributing the last bit of red.
The lights in the warehouse had already been turned on.
Yang Xiaotao looked at the remaining parts on the ground and scratched his head helplessly.
There are some discrepancies in the plan.
I thought it could be done in one day.
It's good now, I've only done half of it at the end of the day.
During this period, many components were removed in order to route the wiring, and then it was straightened out.
"Mr. Yang, why don't you come back tomorrow?"
Zhang Guanyu asked tentatively.
He also saw that this would become more troublesome in the end and require more consideration.
He didn't know how the people in the Three Machinery Department did it, but what was certain was that Mr. Yang was really busy that day.
"What are you doing tomorrow? I'll work overtime tonight."
Yang Xiaotao rubbed his wrists. Even though his physical fitness was far superior to ordinary people, his arms and wrists still felt a little sore at the end of the day.
Zhang Guanyu looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise. Under normal circumstances, Yang Xiaotao would not work overtime.
Especially when the weather gets cold, I run home right after get off work.
Unexpectedly, I took the initiative to work overtime this time.
"What are you doing standing around? Go to the kitchen and tell us not to leave food for us."
"Ah, okay, I'll go right away."
Zhang Guanyu ran out, Hao Pingchuan yawned and stood up, then looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked curiously, "What are you doing, Director Zhang?"
"Go to the cafeteria and prepare dinner."
"Oh, dinner? You have to work overtime."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then walked aside and continued working.
Hao Pingchuan looked at Yang Xiaotao and then saw that there was no one else around, feeling a little at a loss.
So he walked to Yang Xiaotao and looked at the engine, "Tsk, tsk, this engine is so beautiful."
Yang Xiaotao was gesticulating, and when he heard Hao Pingchuan say this, he couldn't help but stop and then stood aside to look at it.
"You're right, it does look pretty."
Hao Pingchuan laughed, "I'm a big guy and I don't know if it's good or not, but I think if it looks good, it shouldn't be too bad."
"Then I'll lend you some good advice."
Yang Xiaotao smiled, then looked at the guard plate in his hand, found the correct position, and stepped forward to install it.
Three Machinery Department.
"Chief, this is Director Wu sent by Shengjing Aircraft Factory, who is responsible for testing the various performance of the engine."
Zheng Shuangxi introduced the middle-aged people around him to Mr. Zhang.
"Hello, chief, my name is Wu Zhe."
Mr. Zhang nodded and extended his hand, "Welcome, Comrade Wu Zhe."
Wu Zhe quickly stretched out his hands and said, "Chief, we heard that after we made the engine, the whole factory was boiling."
"Everyone is waiting. They can't wait to put it on the plane immediately and then fly into the sky to guard the sky of the motherland."
Wu Zhe said excitedly. Mr. Zhang was also infected, so he solemnly said, "Our goal is the same."
"Just to make this sky a little more red."
Wu Zhe nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, we will definitely succeed."
Zhang Lao smiled, but still said, "Comrade Wu Zhe, I have one more request for you."
Wu Zhe immediately corrected his attitude and said, "Chief, please tell me."
"Well, that is, seek truth from facts, and respond to any problem no matter how big or small it is."
"I don't want this engine to go up to heaven with problems."
Wu Zhe took a deep breath and replied forcefully, "That's what I want to say, chief."
"After the last failure, we have redefined our policy, which is to resolutely not bring danger to the sky."
"If there is really a problem, we will never let it go."
"There is something wrong with this, and I hope the chief will not blame it."
After Wu Zhe finished speaking, Mr. Zhang naturally had no objection.
"If you find problems, it means that our work is not in place and needs improvement. This is a good thing."
"Thank you for your understanding, leader."
Mr. Zhang didn't say anything more, and Zheng Shuangyan left the office with Wu Zhe.
"Director Wu, you just arrived today, I will arrange for you to rest first."
Zheng Shuangyan led the way and said, but Wu Zhe shook his head after hearing this, "Director Zheng, it's still early for rest. I want to take a look at our engine."
"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange the car right away!"
Naturally, Zheng Shuangyan would not refuse. She has done it all, and it makes no difference whether it is one day earlier or one day later.
Besides, before the results came out, his heart was still hanging on.
As for why Wu Zhe was so anxious, it wasn't because he was frightened by things in the logistics department.
He took people to the logistics office to inspect the engine at the beginning. The items inspected in accordance with the regulations did not find any problems.
But it happened that something went wrong.
After inspection later, they concluded more than ten reasons.
The biggest reason was that there was something wrong with the plane's engine.
So when he came to inspect this time, he not only had to follow the selected procedures, but also made the inspection more difficult and carefully checked.
The two of them took a car to the experimental area, which is a place dedicated to engine inspection.
The last initial inspection of the engine in the Logistics Department was done here.
When he arrived at the workshop, the moment the roof lights came on, Wu Zhe saw the engine covered by a cover not far away.
Holding back the excitement in his heart, Wu Zhe quickly walked up to him and pulled off the cover.
Then, he squinted his eyes and looked at the engine in front of him.
After looking carefully, Wu Zhe had a preliminary understanding of this engine.
The first impression in my mind is that this engine looks familiar.
The same size, length, and structure.
By the way, it looks a bit like Luan Feng from the logistics department.
Then my heart skipped a beat. If it was the same as Luan Feng, I would have to check it out carefully.
But randomly he remembered that the design drawings of these two companies came from the same source.
So it's normal to look similar.
Bring someone closer to observe.
Director Wu finally made a new discovery. Although it looks similar to the engine in the logistics department, if you look closely, there are still big differences.
At the very least, the layout and structure inside have been adjusted.
Although it is not clear what impact this adjustment will have, it is certainly not the same as Luan Feng.
What they have to do is test the performance of this engine and understand the condition of the engine.
"Director Zheng, let's get started."
Wu Zhe looked at it once and then asked. Zheng Shuangyan naturally would not refuse, so he asked someone to cooperate with the inspection.
Nowadays, there are no written regulations for engine test experiments. Most of them are copied from the alliance, from whether the appearance design meets the requirements of the drawings to whether the layout structure can meet the needs of the aircraft, and then there are various
Detection of indicators.
For example, the ability to continue working, the operation under simulated special circumstances, and the restart function after flameout, etc., etc., according to these tests, it is possible in one or two years, not to mention one or two months.
It says detection here, but in fact many properties cannot be detected.
Therefore, installing it on an aircraft for test flight is the best way to conduct experimental verification.
Wu Zhe did not waste time and immediately asked people to start work. At the same time, he took the design drawings handed over by Zheng Shuangyan and started comparing them.
By the time I saw it, it was already midnight.
After Director Wu said goodbye to Zheng Shuangyan, he came to his residence with a solemn look on his face.
The accompanying staff saw this and asked why.
Director Wu just waved his hand and said it was okay, he was just a little tired.
Everyone didn't take this seriously, but in fact, Director Wu understood.
There seems to be nothing wrong with the engines of these three engines and they fully meet the design requirements at that time.
But if I really want to give it a review, it is an engine that is quite satisfactory.
It may cater to current aircraft requirements, but it also emasculates the potential for aircraft development.
