Start with a blacksmith shop

Gu Changkong placed a wooden box less than three meters tall in a huge room equipped with an indoor test bench at Changan Power.

His arrival did not arouse much interest from everyone, and all eyes were focused on the wooden box.

In front of everyone's attention, Gu Changkong opened the top cover of the crate, revealing the bubble bags and cushioning sponges filled inside.

After he took away all the cushioning materials, the engine contained in the crate was revealed to everyone.

I saw an even smaller engine placed inside the box that was not big at all.

From the outside, the outside is wrapped with a layer of defensive armor. The oil pipes and other things are all covered in the defensive armor, and the inner structure cannot be seen from the outside.

Changan Power's staff took the remote control and drove the aircraft. Several people stepped forward and lifted the engine out of the crate.

It was at this moment that the entire engine was revealed to everyone.

With a total length of only 2.5 meters and a diameter of 65 centimeters, the engine is so small in everyone’s eyes.

Compared with the engines they usually come into contact with, which are four to five meters long, this one can be considered the most exquisite.

It's not that they have never seen such a small engine, but they have never seen such a small and good-looking engine. The most important thing is that they have never seen an engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 12.

When any feature of this engine is taken out individually, the data is not particularly eye-catching, but when all these features are brought together, it is a bit remarkable.

Although the employees of Changan Power have not tested the engine yet, after visiting the other party's Hongdu factory and seeing the actual engine, they all believed the data provided by the other party.

In this atmosphere, Changan Power's employees took out the clamps they had prepared and fixed the engine to the clamps.

After the engine was fixed, one of them drove the aircraft again, adjusted the engine, and placed it on the test bench.

The engine was connected to the electrical circuit and oil circuit, all work was done, and the engine was hung in the air.

All preparations were done, and Gu Changkong also came to the control room, waiting for the engine test run.

A senior vice president of Changan Dynamics accompanied Gu Changkong, waiting to watch the test run.

The vice president is quite curious. He also wants to know how the little thing in front of him performs.

And he also wanted to know which company produced this engine. He had not received any information that any major domestic manufacturer had a project on such a small engine.

"Mr. Gu, can you tell me which company this gadget you brought this time is from?

Why have I never heard that a domestic company has conducted research on this small engine? "

Gu Changkong was not surprised by the question from the vice president of Changan Power. Although such a small engine was not within their manufacturing scope, he also needed to pay attention to the research and development direction of his peers.

Gu Changkong did not answer the vice president's question because the situation of this engine was so special that he had no way of talking about it.

"Let's just watch the test drive. I don't know how to answer your question.

I can only tell you that the Air Force is aware of this project and is still paying attention to it. "

Regarding Gu Changkong's answer, the vice president thought of many other things. Since the project had already arrived and was noticed by the Air Force, it was not suitable for him to interfere too much.

But he really couldn't figure out which company had ever initiated a project for such a small engine.

Just as he was thinking about it, the hoisted engine began to spit out flames.

The real-time data of the engine is also displayed on the screen in the control room.

Various data are displayed on the screen, first of all, the three initial data of length, diameter, and mass.

Then there are various data such as afterburning thrust, intermediate thrust, afterburning fuel consumption, intermediate fuel consumption, and thrust-to-weight ratio.

It's just that the values ​​​​on some data are still blank at this moment.

Of course, some data already have numerical values, but these values ​​are not stable at the beginning.

As the engine runs, the data displayed on the screen slowly stabilizes.

The first thing displayed is the turbine inlet temperature, which shows 1300 degrees, and the temperature continues to rise.

The test continues, the engine continues to run, and a long tail flame is emitted from the tail nozzle.

While the test was in progress, an employee of Changan Power suddenly shouted from the side,

"Damn it, vector nozzle, this little thing is a thrust vector engine!"

This shout attracted everyone in the control room. With this prompt, everyone also looked towards the tail nozzle of the engine.

I saw the engine's tail nozzle moving. Originally, the tail nozzle and the engine were in a straight line, but at this moment, the tail nozzle has been adjusted to a slightly downward attitude.

"Maverick, did you control the nozzle adjustment just now?

Let’s adjust it back first. After we test the basic data, we will conduct other tests! "

The technician named Mavericks clicked on the console, and then the engine's tail nozzle was readjusted.

The engine was on the test bench and ran steadily until the afternoon without stopping the car once. This test run alone lasted four hours.

Through this violent test run, they finally obtained various engine data.

Afterburner thrust: 3.8 tons ~ 4.2 tons

Intermediate thrust: 3 tons

Thrust to weight ratio: 8~14

Air flow: 138g/s

Bypass ratio: 0.25

Overall boost ratio: 30.5

Turbine inlet temperature: 1850 degrees

Length: 2.5 meters

Diameter: 65 cm

Weight: 300kg

Finally, such a data table was obtained, which also made the vice president of Changan Power a little unbelievable.

Such data was actually tested by a small engine with a length of only 2.5 meters. When such data is revealed, it lags behind some other engines by a long way.

An engine that weighs only 300 kilograms can produce up to 4.2 tons of afterburner thrust. How awesome is that?

"Mr. Gu, tell me the truth, where did this thing come from and which company is it?

We must visit which company, and we also want to send some employees to their company to exchange technical experience. "

At this moment, the vice president of Changan Dynamics couldn't hold back after all. He called Gu Changkong again and put behind him what Gu Changkong had just said to him.

While the data generated by the engine are still being discussed here, a small meeting of thirteen people is being held in a small conference room of the Equipment Development Department in Peiping.

These dozen or so people have just finished discussing the issue of when an air force division should switch to the Veyron.

Everyone took a break and drank some water, and then the leader sitting at the top continued.

"Okay, let's move on to the next question. What's the agenda next?"

The leader had just finished speaking, and then a man behind the conference table stood up and handed the documents in his hands into individual hands.

"Leader, the next one was submitted by Quancheng Air Force Base. It happened quite suddenly. It was inserted through special procedures!"

After hearing what this twenty-one man said, everyone became interested and immediately opened the documents in their hands to read.

Several leaders read the document and learned about the cause and effect of the incident.

The leaders who had read the document looked at each other with some disbelief in their eyes.

"Why do I feel like I'm reading a script, this is happening in real life?

How would you say it in the words of today’s young people? Life is impermanent, the big intestine wraps around the small intestine, that’s what they say, right? "

A man in his fifties with hair mixed with white hair said to several people around him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader sitting at the top said.

"Haha, you are quite up to date with the times. Don't talk about you. You haven't seen anything like storms and waves in so many years.

But when I saw this document, I called Cui Tianzhi alone.

Not only did he say that everything he reported was true, he also pulled the base to its correct position.

The two of them spoke the same language, and I ruled out the possibility of lying, so I finally brought this matter to the meeting for discussion. "

Just after the leader finished speaking, several people below also started discussing it.

"It's true that weird things happen every year, and there are so many today. Who would have thought that someone among the people could play such a big role?

They actually built an airplane that can fly Mach 2 or more, and it's only 3.5 meters in size.

Not only that, there was actually an even more outrageous one, an eight-meter jet fighter.

I have to say, these people are really good at playing, they are so tossing! "

One of the leaders expressed his emotion to the people around him.

Then someone else said: "Don't underestimate this little guy who knows how to toss.

I just read the information. This kid has been on Good Opportunity Jiuzhou News before.

The most important time should be when the Hongdu Factory and the prince of the Camel Country signed the aircraft purchase contract.

This kid has made a lot of things in the past two years! Now Hongdu Factory basically doesn’t ask us for money in research and development, which is why this kid is working hard in the middle. "

Several people read the document again, and their impressions of Li Zhenhua mentioned in the document deepened.

"Okay, let's not talk about these small things for now. Let's discuss how to deal with this child's trouble.

After all, this matter is neither big nor small.

Let me set a tone first, to make him feel the punishment we are giving him, but not to punish him too harshly.

This child's inventive creation is a good idea.

We cannot allow such good seedlings to grow wildly. Don’t let them grow crookedly in the end! "

Then several leaders of the Equipment Development Department discussed Li Zhenhua's punishment.

Of course, after they decided on this matter, they had to communicate with other departments. Anyway, they were the ones who protected Li Zhenhua's matter.

After discussion, the final punishment was decided by these old men.
