Chapter 957 The new tricks of the Chinese people

"Ten...ten days?"

After Liu Yongquan made this suggestion, not only Ian Vista, but also several other French representatives sitting next to him were shocked.

Although they do not have as much experience as the former, they can judge the approximate construction period based on the design drawings alone.

But the basic concepts are still there.

Things like turbine blades are produced in batches. Although the time spent in a batch of 200 pieces and a batch of 20 pieces cannot be said to be exactly the same, it is certainly not 10 times the same.

Therefore, even if you only produce a few dozen pieces that need to be tested, plus the turbine disk, the time spent should be calculated on a monthly basis.

Considering that this is a brand-new product, it is still in the production capacity ramping stage, and it is not unusual to use it for two or three months.

This statement is 10 days, which is really outrageous.

"That's right."

Liu Yongquan nodded, showing a confident expression:

"Before the end of November, we will definitely deliver the test samples to you with high quality and quantity!"

At this point, the French were completely speechless—

Others are even responsible for preparing the samples. You only need to go back and go through the process to test it and then sign it, and then the next stage of research and development can be started smoothly.

This is not about putting food in your mouth.

Instead, put it directly into your mouth.

Only the "chewing" action remains for them to complete.

If this still goes wrong, Snecma won't have to worry about M88-3 and SeA650.

Just go back and tidy up, find a French stick and beat yourself to death.

From now on, I will sit at the same table with Indians in the international arms market.

Therefore, although there was still a question mark in Liu Yongquan's mind about the "ten-day" cycle, Vesta really couldn't dwell on it anymore.

So, after another non-nutritious ramble, the meeting finally came to an end.

But Vista came in person on this trip because he wanted to clear up some doubts.

As a result, after the meeting, the previous doubts were indeed solved.

But there are more new doubts...

And he was obviously not the only one who had the same idea...

In the car returning to his residence, Arthur Mondock specially sat next to Vesta:

"Doctor, is the 10 days they gave you really okay?"

"Um…"

The latter was leaning on the back of the seat. He was obviously exhausted to a certain extent, but he still thought for a while and replied:

"I can't say."

Vista shook his head:

"It cannot be ruled out that the other party prepared a second set of samples in advance, and then specifically said it would take 10 days to prepare a new one, which caused us to misjudge their production efficiency."

"You know, the production of hot-end components is the most profitable part of the entire aerospace industry chain. It is very likely that the Chinese people want to use this method to get these orders."

It should be said that Vesta's guess is relatively accurate.

This is indeed Chang Haonan's ultimate goal.

However, in the face of a conspiracy, it is meaningless to just guess the other party's purpose.

"Dr. Vesta, Dr. Mondoc."

At this time, Bernard Sean, who was sitting behind the two of them, also came up:

"With all due respect, based on what I've observed, I think... what they said is very likely to be true."

Hearing someone raising different opinions, Mondoc immediately turned his head:

"Have you... seen their production process?"

The R&D agreement signed by both parties does not involve specific production parts.

Therefore, even if Sean cannot participate, he can still rely on the design and testing process, and the Chinese people can't say anything.

But during the production process, the other party could openly refuse to let Sean have contact.

"That's not true."

Sure enough, Sean shook his head:

"But I have had access to relevant documents about the first batch of samples they used for testing."

One sentence even made Vesta, who was already drowsy, suddenly open his eyes.

After a short pause, Sean continued:

"It wasn't until the 15th of last month that the design team on the Chinese side issued the formal production requirements for the first time, and it has only been a month since it was fully calculated."

"Considering that there is about half a month spent on component testing, their first production will only take half a month at most. If we exclude the time for equipment debugging and process parameter testing, 10 days...I think there may still be some room left." This clear answer made the atmosphere a little cold for a while.

Mondoc originally believed that China had used some small tricks, but after listening to Sean's analysis, his mind finally calmed down -

As the latter said.

There is no way the first samples used for testing are fake.

No matter how you calculate it, it only takes two and a half months from signing the upgrade agreement to coming up with a mature heat dissipation design.

Of course, the Chinese certainly did not start preparing for the upgrade after reaching an agreement.

But even so, time is still tight.

It is impossible to give the Chinese people a month or even a few months to slowly organize production.

"That is to say..."

Mondoc's face gradually became solemn:

"Do the Chinese really have some kind of processing technology that we haven't mastered yet?"

In just over a year...or even since China first publicly displayed that mysterious third-generation engine in 1999, in more than two years, almost their entire worldview has been reshaped by the Chinese people.

At first, everyone just thought that the Chinese people had mastered some technical information of the AL31F or F110 through some means, and combined with their previous technical accumulation on the second-generation engine, they came up with a usable third-generation engine.

In fact, the reason why Snecma came to Huaxia in the first place was because he believed in this statement with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

However, they soon discovered that the Chinese people had their own set of things in the entire aviation design level, and they did not just use other people's plans and simply modify them.

This led to the cooperation between the M88-3 and SeA series engines.

However, the abilities of these Chinese people seem to go beyond that...

You can always come up with new tricks for me.jpg

"I have a feeling."

Through the car window, Vesta looked at the sunset gradually setting on the horizon, with a little loneliness in his eyes:

"The Chinese people may soon completely surpass us in the field of aviation development..."

Mondoc next to him frowned slightly, as if he was unwilling to hear such a judgment:

"That's not necessarily the case."

"At least they have large bypass ratio turbofans, as well as turboprops and turboshafts that output shaft power..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Vesta waving his hand:

"There's no point in saying that."

"The Chinese aircraft engine model is indeed still very imperfect, but this is because they are developing too fast, so fast that they have already developed without having time to accumulate enough experience, manpower, funds, market, etc. Developed sufficiently advanced technology.”

"But having said that, the aviation manufacturing industry is an industry that relies on technology after all. As long as they have the technology, the first few things will only happen sooner or later..."

As an old man who has experienced the golden age of the French aviation industry, Vesta sees it very clearly at this critical moment:

"Now, we, and perhaps the Russians as well, have by chance been the first to realize the terrifying development speed of the Chinese, so we have gained some advantages in cooperation."

"But it is impossible for other people to remain blind like this forever, so I judge that the Chinese will soon make a new wave in the world..."

Although it may sound harsh, everyone in the car understood that Vesta's judgment should be correct.

"But if the Chinese people continue to develop at this rate, will they be suppressed by the Americans like we were back then?"

Sean, who was behind the two of them, suddenly stepped in and asked:

"After all, Boeing's share of China's and even the world's aviation market is rapidly shrinking, and if the Chinese people also jump in and prepare to get a piece of the pie, their lives will probably be even more difficult."

"In the long run, that's definitely what it will be."

Vesta replied almost without thinking:

"In fact, in the first few months of this year, the United States had very clearly made moves against China. However, before it could be launched, the plan was disrupted by the attack."

"Chinese people are not stupid either. They know what to do when, so they are very flexible this time."

"In the next few years, when more people in the United States make money from the Chinese market, if they want to target China, I'm afraid they will have to wait until the day when China truly threatens them..."

This judgment made several people around him fall into silence for a while.

"Then let's..."

After a while, Mondoc asked hesitantly.

"As long as the European Union is here, there is nothing to worry about."

Vesta closed her eyes again, preparing to rest for a while before returning to her residence:

"At least in the foreseeable future, the Chinese people will have far less negative impact on us than on the United States, so the faster they develop, the more they can help us share the attention of the United States."

"On the other hand, if the EU is gone, there is no need to worry..."
