Great Power Technology

Just as Ye Zhou expected, once the intention to cooperate with Chou State was announced, all the negative comments about the technical foundation of the Nantianmen project that Chou State had posted on the Internet turned into a joke. Those countries that had been deceived by Chou State before did not One is not scolding, but it is obvious that they have missed the best opportunity. Now if they want to re-establish contact with the project team, they have to be gentler and pay more price.

The Mao Xiong side also received this news, and their response was faster than other forces. After all, if the Ugly Country could intervene in the project, it would have a major impact on their cooperation plans.

At the Baranov Aeronautical Development Research Institute, everyone in the Bear Country negotiating delegation is analyzing the intelligence at hand. This time, Sergey is leading the analysis, while Alexei is responsible for technical support and supplementation.

After looking around for a week, Sergey said:

"Everyone is aware of the situation. According to the latest information we have, China has completed preliminary contact with Chou State and has set the time for the next contact in 15 days. In the next contact, the two sides will determine Detailed discussion agenda.”

"According to China's principles, if the negotiation enters the agenda discussion stage, it means that they are likely to have follow-up contacts and discuss project details."

"This is extremely detrimental to us, because once the details of the project are discussed, Ugly will be attracted to the Nantianmen project just like us, and will do their best to join the project cooperation."

"They will potentially become our competitors."

"So, what we need to do is to determine the final details of cooperation within 15 days, determine the price we can afford, and the returns we want to obtain through these prices."

"We can no longer use delaying tactics. I think we must immediately restart contact with the Nantianmen project team and come up with a cooperation plan acceptable to both parties as soon as possible."

"This is also the reason why we are holding this meeting today. I hope you will have the fullest discussion and determine our technology transfer plan."

After saying that, he looked in the direction of Alexei, who nodded and said:

"Sergey's analysis of the situation is correct, so we will conduct our discussion based on this judgment. Let me tell you my opinion first."

"First of all, I think we should prepare two sets of plans, corresponding to the two goals of obtaining core seats in the project and obtaining sub-core seats in the project."

“For these two sets of plans, I designed a technology transfer framework.”

“For the first set, in order to obtain core seats, I suggest that our technology transfer framework should include the following contents: the design principles of the Tu-160 strategic bomber, the design principles of the NK-32 three-rotor engine, and the design principles of the Haiyan nuclear-powered turbojet engine. Figure 95LAL nuclear-powered turboprop engine design principle, and Zircon hypersonic missile design principle.”

"In exchange, we must intervene in the other party's core research and development areas in the Matrix, Luanniao, and Somersault Cloud projects."

"The second set is to obtain seats in sub-core projects. The technologies we can transfer include NK-32 three-rotor engine technology, nuclear power turboprop engine technology, Elbrus aviation engine simulation system and related simulation data."

"Based on the above conditions, what we need to exchange is the power to intervene in the other party's sub-core research and development areas in the Huajin, Matrix and Golden Crow projects."

"The above are my suggestions. Now I invite you to express your opinions."

After he finished speaking, there was a heated discussion in the conference room. After a few minutes, Sergey raised his hand to signal that the discussion was suspended. Then, a young researcher asked:

"Mr. Alexey, I have a question. I want to confirm, in order to obtain core seats, do we need to pay so many key technologies at the cost?"

Alexei nodded and answered briefly:

"We need it. In fact, these technologies are not too much compared to the benefits we expect to get from the Nantianmen Project. If we use simple economic figures as an example, it is roughly equivalent to the cost of investing 100 rubles. It is expected that A profit of 200 rubles can be recovered.”

After hearing his words, the young man sat down again.

He did not continue to raise questions because he knew that in front of Alexey, all questions about technology were ridiculous.

Since he said he could get double the income, it is indeed possible.

However, another doubt arose in his mind.

If Alexei can see the input-output ratio of this project, then can’t China see it? Can just this one hundred rubles investment really satisfy them?

Soon, someone asked the question on his behalf.

After listening to the question, Alexey was silent for a moment and then answered:

"Your question is a good one, but the reason why I chose these technologies as the technology transfer framework was after many discussions with comrades from various departments."

"First, let's be clear."

"The Nantianmen project is indeed an advanced project. We also believe that China has indeed mastered the relevant technical foundation. However, at the same time, I also want to explain that it is not that simple to truly transform the technical foundation into actual application technology. matter."

"A very simple example. China may have mastered the manufacturing principles of large-scale aero engines, but this does not mean that they can create high-thrust aero engines because it involves too many technical details and too many subtleties. parameter construction."

“These technical details cannot be realized through ‘principles’ or ‘calculations’, but must be accumulated through experiments again and again.”

"What is the surface roughness of the turbofan blade? What is the tip clearance of the turbofan blade? How to control it? How to mix the high-temperature resistant materials in the combustion chamber? How to control the temperature during the superplastic forming and extension process of titanium alloy?"

"We have finally mastered these problems after generations of experiments."

"So, I think their current situation is that they have a certain theoretical basis, but they cannot actually apply it. In other words, they still need our help."

After Alexei finished speaking, everyone in the conference room nodded secretly.

This is exactly their inner judgment about the Huaxia Nantianmen project.

From the bottom of their hearts, they do agree with the advanced nature of the Nantianmen project's technical concept, but they have never been willing to believe that this project has reached a level where it can be applied.

Because even they themselves haven’t figured it out yet, how could those rabbits in the East figure it out?

They started so late that even now, there is still a gap of more than 20 years with our own side in aviation technology.

Can this twenty-year gap be bridged by just one project?

Obviously not.

In the previous meeting, the man named Chen Hao said that they should recognize the fact that "the glory is no longer", but why don't they want to say to those rabbits, you should recognize the fact that you "have not yet been revived" ?

This idea spread quietly among everyone in the conference room. After a few seconds of silence, someone asked:

"Mr. Alexei, according to the latest information we received, the other party's sedan project has actually been launched and has been in operation for several months. So based on your judgment, when will they be able to get a relatively reliable project? Results?"

"Okay, or let me put it more bluntly, when do you think they will be able to build a large aeroengine with a thrust of more than 100 tons?"

Alexei smiled, and the light of confidence flashed in his eyes again. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"In my judgment, they would need two years with our assistance."

"If not, then it will take at least another five years."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that they may give priority to building an experimental engine with lower thrust. However, the thrust of such an engine is absolutely impossible to exceed 30 tons."

After hearing his words, everyone in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief again.

If this judgment is correct, then the technical strength of those rabbits is not as terrible as they boast.
