Some metal materials involved in the Hongling engine have not yet been mastered in China. In addition to being used in aerospace engines, these materials are also widely used in other civilian fields. Qin Hai’s idea is to let experts from the School of Materials work with
Engineers from Factory 43a jointly develop these materials, making full use of Factory 43a’s rich experience in aerospace materials to shorten the research and development cycle.
As for the sales after the materials are developed, Qin Hai is fully confident. No one knows which departments need what materials better than him. As long as he gives some guidance to the sales staff, there is no need to worry about sales at all.
Qin Hai calculated in his mind that the profits from the sales of these metal materials were more than enough to compensate for the initial development investment. This kind of business was very worth doing.
Regarding the plan proposed by Qin Hai, Lu Hexing did not dare to agree casually. He was silent for a while and said: "I personally tend to agree with this matter in principle. But how to do it specifically, whether it involves the issue of confidentiality, or
It needs to be discussed by the party committee of the hospital before it can be determined, and ultimately it needs to be submitted to the Science and Technology Committee for approval, so I can't reply to you right now."
"I can completely understand." Qin Hai nodded and accepted Lu Hexing's explanation.
"Okay, let's leave this matter here for now. Does Mr. Qin have any other questions?" Lu Hexing asked.
Qin Haidao: "What I mentioned above are just some relatively small cooperation. I also have a bigger idea. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"Is there a bigger idea?" Everyone in the room stared. If sharing the precision processing equipment of Factory 43a can barely be considered a small matter, the cooperation between the two parties to develop engine materials is definitely not a small cooperation.
Among the more than 100 kinds of metal materials required for the Hongling engine, more than 50 need to be developed. Huang Dongfeng estimated that the required development costs may be as high as tens of millions of yuan. This is only if the researchers do not make detours.
If you accidentally make a mistake in your thinking, millions of dollars in research and development funds may be wasted. This is not without precedent in the process of materials research.
For such a matter involving tens of millions of yuan, Qin Hai actually said that it was just a relatively small cooperation. So what was his bigger idea?
Everyone stared at Qin Hai, waiting for him to finish what he said. Qin Hai deliberately paused, and then said with a smile: "Don't look at me like this, it makes me a little nervous. Actually, what I want to say is
, Since the military order quantity of Hongling engine is insufficient and cannot support this project, Dean Lu and Factory Director Yan, have you considered converting it into civilian products for sale?"
"puff!"
Hearing Qin Hai's words, if Feng didn't react too much, Lu Hexing and the other three people almost spat out a mouthful of blood three feet away. Qin Hai's deception just now made everyone appreciate and awe him.
I felt that he was an expert and what he said was quite satisfactory. When he suggested converting the Hongling engine into a civilian product, the tall image that everyone had finally built up suddenly collapsed.
Please, an engine is not a piece of clothing that can be worn by anyone you want. Hongling is a military engine through and through. If it is to be converted to civilian use, how much effort will be required. Do you know? Besides,
, China’s civil aircraft manufacturing industry is almost blank. If you modify a Hongling engine for civilian use, who will it be used for?
Thinking like this, it was inconvenient for a few people to speak out directly. Lu Hexing looked at Yan Quangen and motioned for him to explain this problem to Qin Hai. Yan Quangen turned his attention to Huang Dongfeng again, wanting this nerd to say such offending things.
Huang Dongfeng wanted to turn down this job, but he had the lowest position in the room. If he was not allowed to do such a thing, who could do it?
"Ahem, Mr. Qin, your suggestion, uh... is very novel. However, this needs to be converted into civilian use..." Huang Dongfeng carefully thought about how to explain to Qin Hai.
Qin Hai smiled, waved his hand, interrupted Huang Dongfeng, and said, "There's no need to say anything, Mr. Huang, I know what you mean. I didn't say we wanted to develop a civilian aero engine. What I meant was, can we develop one?"
An industrial aeroderivative aircraft for civilian use?”
Aircraft modification machine? Huang Dongfeng's open mouth suddenly couldn't be closed. After a long time of fussing, Qin Hai had this idea.
The full name of the so-called aeroderivative gas turbine is an aeroderivative gas turbine, which is a marine or industrial gas turbine modified from an aircraft engine. Marine gas turbines are used as marine power, while industrial gas turbines are mainly used for power generation and refrigeration.
and other fields.
In fact, as early as the introduction of the Spey engine, the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry, the Ministry of Aviation Industry, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other departments have already begun to use it to develop aeroderivative marine gas turbines, and have achieved certain results. Due to the use of marine gas turbines
The development was not undertaken by the 43a factory, so Huang Dongfeng did not know the specific details.
Two years ago, when he was attending a meeting within the system, he heard that Bingcheng's ship power research department had produced a prototype of the "Spegai" marine gas turbine and passed the test run. Unfortunately,
Like the fate of the Hongling engine, this marine gas turbine could not find a matching ship, so it was also shelved.
"Based on the technical parameters of the Hongling engine, I think this engine can be transformed into an industrial gas turbine with a power of 8 to 12 MW, suitable for small and medium-sized fuel power plants, especially as a power generation, heat and power and cogeneration device in oil fields.
"Our country has so many oil fields, and various regions may face severe power shortages in the next few years. There will definitely be a huge market for this kind of medium-sized industrial gas turbine." Qin Hai introduced it to everyone calmly.
"Xiao Huang, do you think what Mr. Qin said makes sense?" Lu Hexing was moved by Qin Hai's ideas. As a leader, he had certainly heard of the concept of aeroderivative aircraft, but he had never thought of using it for civilian use.
That's all. Now that Qin Hai said this, he suddenly felt that building a civil aviation modification aircraft seemed to be a good way out, so he couldn't help but ask Huang Dongfeng to help him make an evaluation.
Huang Dongfeng frowned, tapped the coffee table next to him with his fingers, and said slowly: "Building an industrial aeroderivative machine... is indeed a way out. The original British factory also used gas turbines modified by Spey, but the motherboard they used
The machine model is rb168-66. Our model is mk202. The internal flow rate is about 18% smaller than that of rb168. When the initial temperature of the gas is the same, the power will be significantly smaller than the former. Also, mk202 has a five-stage fan, which is suitable for the top
There is a certain degree of difficulty in all plans..."
Lu Hexing anxiously interrupted his deduction: "What you said is too professional. Just tell me if it can be changed. As for how to change it, this is a problem you can study after you go back."
"It can definitely be changed." Huang Dongfeng nodded categorically, "Ice City has already succeeded in converting aeronautical aircraft to marine machines. Industrial machines are less difficult than marine machines, so it can definitely be changed."
"That's good." Lu Hexing said. He turned to Qin Hai and asked: "Mr. Qin, do you think there is really a market for industrial aeroderivative machines?"
"There is definitely a market." Qin Hai replied without hesitation, "Gas turbine power generation is the future development trend. At present, our country is still very backward in the design and manufacturing of gas turbines. If we can seize this technological peak, we will definitely be able to make huge profits.
If your annual income is less than 1 billion, I can make up for it out of my own pocket."
The technical requirements of medium-sized gas turbines are lower than those of aeroengines, but they are still high-tech products. As soon as the word "high-tech" is attached to something, it can basically be used as a synonym for a cash cow. In that era, a 10-megawatt engine
The price of industrial gas turbines has reached more than 10 million yuan, and even one-third of the cost cannot be used. It is definitely a huge profit product. The key is that there is almost no domestic field in this field, and most gas turbines have to rely on imports. If the 43a factory can develop
Once industrial gas turbines are produced, countless units short of foreign exchange will line up to send money to their doorsteps.
Just as Qin Hai said, the two cooperations he mentioned earlier are just small efforts. Only the gas turbine project is the real big deal. If it can be completed, it will not only generate operating income of billions a year.
Down.
"Mr. Qin's vision and courage are really amazing." Lu Hexing was sincerely convinced, "When Mr. Qin said this, we realized that we have always been begging for food with a golden rice bowl in hand. Xiao Yan, you and Xiao Huang
After we return, we will immediately make a feasibility report and submit it to the party committee of the institute. If this thing can really be done, we must convince the Science and Technology Commission to agree to our development of industrial aeroderivative aircraft."
"Then I'll just wait for the good news." Qin Hai said with a smile.
"No problem. Once the Science and Technology Commission gives us an answer, I will immediately send someone to notify Mr. Qin and our two families will work together." Lu Hexing said magnanimously.
In fact, Lu Hexing couldn't do anything without being honest. Although the technical strength to develop industrial aeroderivative aircraft is in the 43a factory, without the support of Qin Hai, they have neither funds nor market experience. This promising thing may not be possible.
They had to let them do it. After communicating with Qin Hai, Lu Hexing also figured out that what he lacked was not technology, but a market-oriented business philosophy, and this was Qin Hai's strength.
After saying this, Qin Hai had nothing else to say. Lu Hexing was in high spirits and insisted on dragging Qin Hai to drink, claiming that he would not come back until he was drunk. However, Qin Hai could only call Heizi and beat Lu Hexing one by one.
The whole group fell down.
This trip to 70x Institute brought unexpected joy to Qin Hai because of the appearance of Lu Hexing and others. He and Lu Hexing agreed on a time to meet in the future, and then he and Heizi said goodbye to 70x Institute and boarded the flight.
