Chapter 330: Generous Gift (10) A generous gift for James. Although Yao Yi didn’t know exactly what kind of reward James wanted to get, Yao Yi could guess that a generous gift of more than 20 million U.S. dollars would be a great gift for a decent person.

For James, who is in a difficult economic situation, this is already a very, very big and super generous move.

James would never do charity if he spent such a large amount of money, but would have a plan from Yao Yi. His plan would not be too small, but very big.

In this regard, Yao Yi knew it without guessing, so he used billions of dollars in orders to block James's path, so that if James wanted something, Yao Yi could respond.

James smiled and said: "Duke Yao, do you think our jet transport project should also be started?"

Yao Yi thought to herself: "Good guy, I have to mention this again. This jet heavy transport aircraft is no joke. Once it is researched, it will cost billions. Moreover, more importantly, it will not be effective immediately and obtain commercial returns."

.”

After all, Yao Yi is not a country, and it is impossible to carry out large-scale procurement like the military, thereby reducing the research and development costs of transport aircraft.

Yao Yi said: "This heavy-duty jet transport aircraft is indeed very important, but under the current circumstances, my financial resources are not able to support such a project. The main reasons are as follows. First, we currently do not have the aviation materials.

Manufacturing, almost all aviation materials need to be imported. Second, we cannot produce aerospace engines, the heart of our aviation aircraft, and can only rely on imports. Third, our current commercial trade has not yet developed, and it will take a period of transition.

Under this circumstance, even if we produce this kind of heavy-duty jet transport aircraft at a high price, the cost will remain high due to insufficient order quantity, and it will eventually become a project that cannot be commercialized. Fourth, now that I have limited funds,

In this case, all I can do is invest in projects with high returns and quick returns. Therefore, the project you mentioned is not the project I want to choose from any aspect."

James said: "You are right, but you haven't seen one thing. If our commercial trade develops rapidly, we will need not just dozens of heavy transport aircraft, but hundreds of them flying over the world."

.We can invest money in research and development now, and when our demand increases, we can manufacture it immediately."

Yao Yi smiled and said: "There don't seem to be many goods transported by air in the world. There are hundreds of planes flying around the world. What are they flying around to transport? Those things are worthy of their transport. In the next twenty years

, freighter transportation is the mainstream, and other transportation methods are not our best choice. Besides, even if hundreds of heavy-duty transport aircraft are needed as you said, I will still have a way to get them for you to meet your needs.

need."

James looked at Yao Yi in disbelief and said, "What? Are you going to do a magic trick for me? This is not magic."

Yao Yi said: "Don't worry, haha, as long as you have money, you can have as much as you want. Don't worry at all. I have a good idea about this matter. Let's develop the heavy helicopter project first, and then talk about it."

James now regretted giving Yao Yi the American Hercules plane, and was a little angry in his heart. However, he could still bear it. He suppressed his inner anger and said, "How about we develop an aero-engine project first?"

Yao Yi suddenly cheered up and asked: "Do you have such a project?"

Seeing that Yao Yi was interested in this project, James felt a little better and said with a smile: "I have a super aviation engine that has been designed. The engine of the Soviet An-225 super transport aircraft only has 30,000 horsepower, and the one I have in my hands

The engine is 40,000 horsepower. Once this engine is successfully developed, our engine will be the most powerful engine in the world. Currently, the An-225 has a take-off weight of 600 tons and a cargo capacity of 250 tons.

Once our heavy transport aircraft is successfully developed, it will surpass this world record and become the largest heavy transport aircraft in the world."

Yao Yi smiled and said: "To build a heavy transport aircraft, the most important thing is the horsepower of the engine, and the other is the material manufacturing technology. These two manufacturing levels show the manufacturing level of the heavy transport aircraft. However, what we are more confused about now is

This material technology, the key to aerospace engines is also material. Without ultra-high temperature resistant engine materials, without light and tough titanium alloy manufacturing technology, the development of heavy transport aircraft is just a dream drawn on the drawings. Therefore, this

What do you think we should do?"

James was a little embarrassed. He heard what Yao Yi meant, but he also knew that it was not easy to meet Yao Yi's requirements. This high-tech materials industry is a secret monopoly industry of various countries, and it is the closest ally.

It is impossible for countries to teach each other. The relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is close enough. However, the British materials industry is only a second-rate country compared to the United States and the Soviet Union, and many key materials require special imports.

The UK can import, but countries like Malaysia are not eligible to import, so there is really nothing we can do about the current matter.

In fact, James is holding back something bad in his heart, because he knows that even if the heavy transport aircraft project has not started, as long as the super aero engine project starts, the introduction of some precise and key materials must go through his hands, so

, as long as Yao Yi's funds come in, the project can only move forward, and there is almost no possibility of going back. Otherwise, Yao Yi will lose everything.

In this case, James can justifiably collect various expenses. After all, the price of high-tech materials is opaque. If it doubles or triples, no one will know. A project like a super engine does not cost more than a billion dollars.

It is simply impossible to raise funds. The biggest cost is the cost of materials, which is usually around 90%. In this way, what James originally lost on BHP Billiton mining stocks can be made up for through the profits from confidential materials.

, this is the little calculation in James' mind.

Yao Yi did not consider this aspect, but Yao Yi knew a little bit about aviation and the importance of materials. In his previous life, China lagged behind in the military industry, especially in engines. The main reason was that

The material manufacturing industry is backward, so it is impossible to build a high-thrust aero engine, and it is controlled by others, which is an uncomfortable feeling. What's more, during the aircraft carrier sea trials, the carrier-based aircraft interception cable cannot be purchased and the sea trials have to be postponed. This

Everything is due to problems in the material manufacturing industry.

The development of high-tech materials is one of the key research projects of Yao Yi's research center, so Yao Yi will not be confused about this.

However, James is very worried about where the project in James' hands should go.
