MTL - Warship of Great Power-Chapter 791 Forty MW Gas Turbine Firing

  Chapter 791 Forty MW Gas Turbine Firing

"The lighthouse on Chigua Island is smoking." Brian held a document and said to Swift: "Our reconnaissance satellite specially took photos from a high altitude to confirm that the white smoke is coming out of the lighthouse. "

   "Smoke in the lighthouse?" Swift took the photo curiously: "What's going on?"

"have no idea."

  They have always been paying attention to the southern waters. When Chigua Island was about to build a lighthouse, they were a little wary, but the construction speed was very fast, and it looked like a lighthouse, so they had no reason to stop it.

   Now, the lighthouse has not been put into use for a few days, and they found that the lighthouse is smoking. What's going on?

  Suddenly, Swift thought of something, with a mocking smile on his face: "Could it be that when their lighthouse was piling, they hit the active volcano under the sea?"

   "I don't know, theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible." Brian said, "Then what should we do?"

"This is a good opportunity. Let's inquire. If the other party needs it, we can send geological experts to help." Swift said: "After all, if there is a volcanic eruption there, it will affect the route. It is also for the safety of international air routes.”

  Brian nods.

   A few hours later, he got a reply.

"The people from the East replied that the smoke from the lighthouse there was because someone got married on the island recently. They set off a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, and some of the gas went into the lighthouse. Please don't worry, and they thank us for your concern. "

"Fireworks? Are you kidding me? Today is not April Fool's Day!" Swift said, "Since they don't want us to help, then we should continue to pay attention. Once we find a volcanic eruption, we will tell the whole world about it. People refuse our help, and then suffer a lot!"

At this time, Swift still had a gloating mentality. He didn't know what it was there, and he never thought it was a nuclear power plant. Otherwise, he would definitely exaggerate the threat here internationally and let everyone Those who stand up to resist, after a few years, it will become a fait accompli, even if others want to say something, it will be useless.

   Just as Swift was paying attention to the lighthouse on the island, the lively wedding ceremony had passed, the bridal chamber festivities had also passed, and it was time for Qin Tao to leave.

  The next day, early morning.

"Zhengyang, you don't need to follow me. You can stay on the island temporarily. Our group will grant you a month's wedding leave, and you can also take He Qian on your honeymoon." Seeing that Xu Zhengyang was ready to be a secretary and bodyguard again , Qin Tao said.

  On the second day of the wedding, Qin Tao left with the groom and left the bride on the island, which was a bit cruel.

"Mr. Qin, Xiaoqian and I have already discussed it. She will come to me after she has made arrangements here." After Xu Zhengyang finished speaking, he glanced at his wife beside him: "Our separation is short-lived, and we will meet again next time." , we will never be separated again."

   "Really? That's really great." Qin Tao said: "He Qian is engaged in technology, coming to our group, completely..."

  He Qian shook her head quickly: "Mr. Qin, you don't need to help me arrange work. I want to leave Chiguadao, not the army. I plan to continue to be a soldier."

  Qin Tao's eyes became serious: "Do you still want to be a soldier? Soldiers always gather less and leave more. My wife and I were like this back then, so I don't want you to do the same."

"It's okay to be a soldier." Zhao Ling said from the side: "In the Capital National Defense University, find a job for Xiaoqian as a teacher, so that she can stabilize. Although we run around, the time we stay in the capital Not short either."

If you are in the army, you have to enforce the discipline of the army. It is impossible to meet your lover every day. However, if you go to other departments, it will be different. You can commute to and from get off work on time. Now, Zhao Ling is looking for a job as a university teacher. Can commute to and from get off work on time every day.

   "Me? I can't do it." He Qian shook her head: "What qualifications and abilities do I have to be a teacher at the National Defense University?"

   "Teaching assistants and mentors are fine." Zhao Ling said: "In short, we will arrange your work. When the order comes down, you can follow the order."

   This power is still there, and it is for Xu Zhengyang's happiness. Now, just look at Xu Zhengyang's expression, how grateful he is to Zhao Ling, and he will definitely be more like a family in the future.

   Several people boarded the ground-effect aircraft and waved to the people on the shore. When the ground-effect aircraft left, He Qian still stood there, staring at the direction in which the ground-effect aircraft left.

"Brother Zhengyang, you really are too. Look, Xiaoqian standing there has become a husband-wife stone." Zhao Ling said to Xu Zhengyang: "You shouldn't come back with us, stay there with us. Xiaoqian is on her honeymoon."

"Being with Xiaoqian in the past was considered a honeymoon." Xu Zhengyang said: "Now we are still busy with business, Mr. Qin, the 40-megawatt gas turbine jointly developed with Motor Sich is about to ignite. Do you want to go and have a look?"

   "So fast?" Qin Tao was a little surprised.

"yes."

After all, it is not a new research and development, but an improvement on a mature aero engine. For Genghis Khan Aviation, as long as the workers from Ermao are moved over, there will be no problem in production. Therefore, the progress of this gas turbine is very fast. .

   "That's right, we have to go and have a look." Qin Tao said, "However, this is in China, so you don't need to follow."

"After we finish reading it, we will definitely need to sell this gas turbine as soon as possible. The order for the aircraft carrier that Gou Dahu ordered is about to start now. It is just right to modify the design and use our gas turbine. At that time, you may need to go to A trip to the Middle East. So, I have to follow."

Qin Tao glanced at Xu Zhengyang with satisfaction, alright, although you have just become the groom's officer, you have not lost your skills as a secretary, and you have arranged everything properly. Go to the Middle East.

At the beginning, because there was no suitable gas turbine, what fooled the big dog was the power to burn the boiler. Obviously, since there is one, of course, the latest power should be provided to the big dog, and they can also be used for experiments. Anyway, the whole ship is integrated electric propulsion It's all planned, and the gas turbine is of course a piece of cake.

   Wait until you have accumulated experience on Gou Dahu's aircraft carrier, and your own amphibious assault ships and the like can use mature gas turbines.

   "Brother Zhengyang, you are always like this, when will you think about yourself." Zhao Ling said from the side.

  "The group treats me so well, how can I not think about the group all the time? When Mr. Qin married you, didn't we just get together less and leave more, running around? We are all for the strength of the motherland." Xu Zhengyang said.

  Yes, it’s all for the strength of the motherland!

   Genghis Khan Aviation, a large group of people gathered in front of an engine, very excited.

  Among them, there are many old-fashioned faces, and Lotarev, as the deputy chief designer, is even more excited.

"Our UGT-40000 has finally been built. It will become the most powerful naval gas turbine in the world and will rewrite the history of boilers used by large aircraft carriers!" An aircraft carrier, or a medium-sized aircraft carrier of 50,000 to 60,000 tons, can use this kind of gas turbine!"

   "It can also be transformed into a land-use gas turbine, which is very useful in natural gas fields and other places, and can be sold to many countries!" Muravsenko said.

  Zamotayeva stood among the crowd with a smile on her face: "Yes, a new era of power is created by us, and Genghis Khan Aviation is the strongest aero-engine research and development unit in the world!"

  Compared to Lao Maozi's excitement, the Chinese staff were much calmer. The chief designer Wen Xueyou had a smile on his face, looking at the large gas turbine as if he was looking at his own child.

   Just as they were surrounding the gas turbine with great interest, a voice came from outside.

   "Everyone is here? It's very lively. I heard that the gas turbine has been finished? This is a big event worth celebrating!"

"Mr. Qin?" Zamotayeva was the first to turn around, and when she saw Qin Tao and others, she called out immediately, and then walked up quickly: "Mr. Qin, we have another qualified gas turbine in Genghis Khan Aviation! It also created a world record, and Genghis Khan Aviation is the most advanced aviation research and development and production enterprise in this era!"

In order to change the D-18T into a gas turbine, they also specially set up the Genghis Khan Aviation Design Institute, not only for production, but also for research and development. There are a large number of old men in this design institute who work closely with the Orientals to make this The gas turbine was built in the shortest possible time.

   "That's right, Genghis Khan Airlines is the most powerful in the world." Zhao Ling said aside, she used to be the leader of Genghis Khan Airlines, and now, she is also proud of the achievements of Genghis Khan Airlines.

   "Boss Qin, we have worked it out!" Wen Xueyou came to report to Qin Tao: "We have full confidence in this gas turbine."

  Qin Tao nodded: "Congratulations. Now, can we start the test drive?"

   "Yes, it can start at any time, now, please stand in a safe position, we are about to start the gas turbine!"

The speed of an aero engine is tens of thousands of revolutions. Once the flying parts are very scary, they can easily cut things in front of them in half. Although they have confidence in the gas turbine, the gas turbine is covered with a protective cover. Also have to pay attention to safety.

In a safe position, Wen Xueyou continued to introduce to Qin Tao: "The core engine of our gas turbine comes from D-18T, and the combustion chamber and power turbine are developed by ourselves, referring to the experience of GT-25000 gas turbine, and the shock-absorbing base It also uses this principle, so it looks much bigger than the LM2500."

The shock absorption of the LM2500 gas turbine is designed from the inside, the casing is small, and the whole device is very compact. With the same power output, Lao Maozi’s gas turbine is a circle larger. There is no need to worry about excessive weight with gas turbines.

  The shell is very rough, with the usual characteristics of Lao Maozi. As for the structure inside, of course it is invisible.

   "Can all the parts here be produced by Genghis Khan Aviation?" Qin Tao asked.

"The current self-production rate of parts is 85%, and some parts, such as the fulcrum bearings of the three-rotor engine, etc., are purchased through Motor Sich." Wen Xue replied: "We are also continuing to Work hard to improve your own production level, and the self-sufficiency rate will continue to increase in the future until it reaches 100 percent.”

  When the two were talking, Zamotayeva frowned. What does Mr. Qin mean by this? He has been pursuing 100% all the time. Could it be that he has any concerns? What our Motor Sich company has is equivalent to what Genghis Khan Airlines has. Is there any difference?

   "The preparations are ready and the fire can be lit at any time!" Lotarev said aside.

   "Attention everyone, prepare to light the fire!"

  The sound of the motor sounded, and the rotating shaft of the gas turbine was driven up, gradually emitting a howling sound. As the howling sound gradually became sharper, the speed had reached the requirement.

   "Fire!"

  Fuel is ejected from the combustion chamber, and the hot flame burns fiercely. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas pushes the turbine blades at the back, drives the compressor at the front, and drives the power turbine at the rear, outputting surging power.

  The motor stops rotating, and the gas turbine rotates steadily by its own power.

   "During low-speed operation, the power output is ten megawatts, everything is normal!"

  Just running at a low speed is enough for the full power output of some ordinary gas turbines. The power output of this UGT-40000 is so powerful.

   "Increase power to twenty megawatts!"

   The howling sound is louder. Although the shell has the effect of reducing noise, the effect is not obvious. Now, listening to this howling sound, the big guy's eyes are bright.

   "Increase to thirty megawatts!"

  If it is a newly developed gas turbine, it must go through a long test run before it can further increase its power, but it is originally a mature and qualified aero engine, so after such a modification, it can still output maximum power at any time.

   "Increase to rated maximum output power!"

  Everyone held their breath, and no one was wearing earmuffs. They were listening carefully. The huge howling from inside was so pleasant to hear. If it was accompanied by noise, it meant that something was wrong inside.

  The power display is constantly increasing, thirty-two, thirty-five, thirty-eight, all the way to forty!

  Rated Power!

   Not to mention the life expectancy, the power has reached the standard!

   "At Rated Power!"

   There was a burst of warm applause at the scene, and Lotarev opened his arms and hugged Wen Xueyou.

   "Thank Dongfang for giving us a new project and allowing us to successfully complete the research and development of this project!"

Zamotayeva was also very excited and subconsciously wanted to hug Qin Tao, but when she saw Zhao Ling beside her, she changed the hug into a handshake: "Mr. Qin, our cooperation project has succeeded again. Got one!"

   "That's right, congratulations, tonight, we're going to hold a celebratory banquet! All personnel involved in the research and development will receive an additional two months' salary as a bonus!"

  Mingzhou Group is a practical enterprise. Whatever it says it will do, it will definitely do it well. The gas turbine jointly developed by them and Motor Sich is the same.

  The gas turbine with 40 megawatts was successfully ignited once and reached the rated power once, all of which reflect their research and development strength!

  The news spread quickly all over the world.

   Rolls-Royce.

"Damn it, why did the Orientals take the lead? It took them only one year to complete the work of converting an aero engine into a gas turbine for a ship. This is unscientific!" Conrad said angrily: "How did they Did it?"

"Yeah, I really don't know how the Orientals did it. Now, we have just completed the design of the gas generator, and the condenser is still under development, and the Orientals have already ignited the test run." McCli's expression was gloomy. : "I suspect, this is fake news!"

  When they can't, they suspect that the East is fake.

   "Anyway, we are already behind in this field, and the company has given us a final order. Within a month, our gas turbines also need to be ignited!"

"One month? That's impossible!" McLeary shook his head: "Those people are not engineers, they can make a decision with a slap on their heads, do they know how much effort we have to spend? This is against science, and we need at least a year time."

"They don't care about scientific matters, they care about other aspects. The continuous innovation of Eastern people has changed the whole world's view of them. They think that the most advanced technology is in the East, which is unfriendly to us. We must let the world know that the most advanced technology is in the West!"

In the field of chips, Dongfang has developed to be the strongest in the world. Intel was beaten to the brink of death. AMD directly chose to cooperate with SMIC, and asked the other party to manufacture, and was defeated in this high-tech field. The West has completely lost face. Now, they are also lagging behind in aero engines. How can this not make them angry.

  They have to catch up, they have to prove their ability as soon as possible.

  However, to engage in scientific research, one must be down-to-earth. Even if such an administrative order is issued, can it improve the technical level?

   "If the gas turbine fails to ignite smoothly within a month, a large number of people will be fired." Conrad said: "So, for your jobs, let's work hard!"

  Fired?

  Everyone's face turned black, this move was really ruthless, no matter how much they worked overtime, in short, they had to ignite their gas turbines within a month!

With the development of the Eastern aviation industry, their market will inevitably be squeezed. Fortunately, the Easterners have not yet developed large passenger aircraft and need to purchase from the West. But in the future, the Easterners will definitely develop their own passenger aircraft. At that time, Luo Luo The company's sales will be greatly reduced, and the winter of their aviation industry will come.

   Now, in the field of gas turbines, it has already started.

McLeary knew that the research and development of a 40-megawatt gas turbine by his own side was of great significance, not only for the sake of success, but also for the export market. Even if it was an aircraft carrier built by the Mingzhou Group for the big dog, they could still sell the gas turbine, provided that they The gas turbine has been successfully developed.

  Now, the Orientals have succeeded in their first fiddle, so the next step must be to use it on the aircraft carrier of the big dog, and they are lagging behind again.

  Eastern, the celebration banquet continues, Lao Maozi already loves to drink, and now they like to drink even more under this situation.

   "Come on, let's raise our glasses to the successful ignition of our gas turbine!"

  Lotarev picked up his glass and drank it down.

   Before he knew it, he drank too much.

   "Mr. Qin, I, I have to offer you a toast. Without you, we would have nothing. Now, we have wages, housing, bread and wine, and our business!"

Motor Sich is only engaged in production. For this design, the power of the Progressive Design Bureau was invited. Lotarev was the deputy chief designer of the D-18T engine. It is precisely because of their existence that the , UGT-40000 gas turbine will be developed so soon.

   At this time, Lotarev was also very grateful to Qin Tao. Without this project, they would have no future.

   "It's our honor for you to come to our east. Come, let me toast you." Qin Tao raised his glass.

  The two parties drank again, and Lotarev said: "Mr. Qin, now that this project has achieved phased success, will we continue to cooperate after this project ends?"

   "Of course." Qin Tao understands what the other party is worried about. If the project is over and the cooperation is terminated, these people will have to sit on the bench when they go back. These are the best talents, how could Qin Tao let them go.

   "Is there a new project?" Lotarev opened his eyes wide. At this moment, he was completely drunk.

"When this gas turbine is successfully finalized, the next step is to improve it." Qin Tao said: "You can look at the most famous LM2500 gas turbine in the world. Since its birth, it has been improving all the time. Our gas turbines also need to improve in this direction, improve the efficiency of gas turbines, increase the power output of gas turbines, and continuously improve the performance of this gas turbine, and always occupy the highest peak in this field.”

Lotarev nodded: "That's right, it needs to be improved. The technology of the original D-18T is still used now, and many of them are already behind. The aviation industry in the East is developing very fast. We can use your latest technology to improve it." !"

"Now, we don't have our own large passenger aircraft in China, but we will definitely have them in the future. Therefore, our passenger aircraft also need advanced aero engines. By that time, we can use the technology developed on gas turbines to develop a new generation airliner engine."

Aircraft engine! But also to return to the old line!

  Lotarev was full of enthusiasm: "Okay, Mr. Qin, I remember what you said. In the future, we will continue to work hard to develop more advanced engines!"
