Wu Tong had always kept her word, saying it would take two weeks. On the tenth day, as she had estimated, her design had been completely completed. The exquisite large-scale gas turbine had been born under Wu Tong's pen. Within her deductive space, it had undergone countless field tests and verifications, becoming a truly feasible solution.
She continued to follow the path of the QC280, building upon this foundation and continuously optimizing it. The design of the three core components of a heavy-duty gas turbine—the compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine blades—involved key technical difficulties and related breakthroughs. Wu Tong's continuous deductions flattened these into steps that facilitated completion.
The design of the heavy gas turbine was under Wu Tong's pen. Wu Tong also optimized the power system of the Ningliao and designed it to match it.
"Dong, dong, dong!" Xu Gong was staring at the aircraft carrier design blueprint in his hand, thinking carefully. He placed some hope on Wu Tong, but not entirely. Daily research, development, and design optimization of the aircraft carrier continued. The Ningliao was only barely operational, far from being fully combat-ready. Their research and development tasks were still a long way to go.
Xu Gong couldn't help but feel a little distracted as he pondered the optimization plan that had been tying them up for so long. It was already the tenth day, and he wondered how Wu Tong was progressing. To avoid disrupting Wu Tong's research and development, he had rarely been near his office next door, giving Wu Tong enough trust and freedom to work freely.
The higher-ups all trust Wu Tong, and Wu Tong also has a brilliant record from before, which provides enough guarantees. He must be confident in Wu Tong's help this time!
However, before the real punishment comes out, it is human nature to worry about gains and losses and be anxious. It is inevitable!
When there was a knock on the door, Xu Gong thought it was one of his researchers, so he said "Come in" without even looking up, and continued to stare at the aircraft carrier blueprint that took up half of the conference table. This was a complete design blueprint, and currently, only a few core engineers had the authority to view it. The complex annotations on it were so dazzling that even those who didn't know much about aircraft carriers would be dazzled!
However, in the eyes of those who truly understand aircraft carriers, this picture embodies the hard work of countless people in their country and is the essence of the entire domestic aircraft carrier research and development.
"Mr. Xu!" After getting permission, Wu Tong pushed the door open and called out again softly.
"Mr. Wu?" Xu Gong looked up in surprise. He had never expected it to be Wu Tong, the man next door, who he had always assumed was working hard on research and development. "What are you doing? Is there anything I can help you with? Just tell me, I'll arrange it!"
The time had not yet come, and Xu Gong thought that Wu Tong was missing something, so he immediately asked.
"Mr. Xu, don't worry. I'm here to report some good news to you. Regarding the design of the large gas turbine, I have completed it ahead of schedule. Please carefully verify the feasibility!" Wu Tong smiled and extended her hand to invite Mr. Xu to follow her to the office for a detailed review.
Although she is very confident in the feasibility of the power system and heavy-duty gas turbine she designed, the specific details still need to be evaluated by the person in charge of Deep Blue 707 Institute, who is also the main person in charge of the research and development of the Ningliao aircraft carrier, before the next step can be made!
"Finished ahead of schedule, finished?" Xu Gong suddenly raised his head, and one could almost hear the cracking sound of his neck bones. It was not Xu Gong's fault for his big movements, nor was it his fault for being so jumpy. It was really hard to believe that Wu Tong not only did not spend more time, but even completed the R&D and design ahead of schedule. When did their R&D and design become so efficient?
"Yes, it went smoothly and was completed ahead of schedule!" Wu Tong nodded in confirmation. "Thanks to the foundation laid by pioneers like you at XCMG, I don't need to start from scratch. Optimizing and upgrading the QC280 is much simpler than designing from scratch!"
Optimization and sublimation have always been her forte, so it is normal for her to be faster. Wu Tong is used to her speed and takes it for granted. She is not too surprised by her completion speed this time.
"I'll go right away, I'll go right away!" Xu Gong took a quick step and knocked over the chair next to him with a thud. The back of the chair hit his leg and then bounced off the table leg, making a loud noise. He seemed to have no feeling at this moment, and did not feel any pain at all. He almost ran to Wu Tong's side.
"Slow down, slow down, there's no rush. The drawings and manuscripts won't get lost!" Security personnel were stationed at the office door, ensuring safety. If it weren't for the confidentiality principles reinforced during training, Wu Tong could have taken the drawings directly out. However, given the seriousness of the matter, it would be best to leave them in the original office to prevent them from spreading.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, that's a gas turbine, a large gas turbine, I can't stay calm!" Following Wu Tong, Xu Gong took a few steps into the office next door, and rushed to his original desk in a flash. He was immediately attracted by the complete heavy-duty gas turbine drawing on the desktop.
This design... The more Xu Gong looked at it, the more he wanted to clap his hands in admiration. This ingenious idea seemed to have come from heaven!
"You can actually design it this way, and combine it this way? Mr. Wu, you've combined the best of both gas and steam turbines, allowing the gas turbine to break through its inherent limitations and possess the sustained and stable power output of a steam turbine... It's more economical and environmentally friendly, with fast startup, low fuel consumption, and low thrust, and it's not picky!"
"Yes, you have a keen eye and can see the essence of my design at a glance. After all, we have limited resources and a good ship integrated electrical system. Naturally, we must maximize our advantages!
According to estimates, this giant engine can reach an efficiency of over 200 megawatts. Combined with my optimized power system, it has the ability to independently support the operation of the entire aircraft carrier. The specific energy efficiency will depend on the actual design and material requirements. I have done research on aero engines before, so we can be lazy and match them up! "
Wu Tong never fights a battle without confidence. Once she does something, she must do it to the best of her ability. Therefore, after completing the design of the overall gas turbine, Wu Tong further extended it to the adjustment of the entire power system. Bringing the performance of this section to the optimal state is her ultimate pursuit.
Now, all her efforts have turned into the drawings on the table. She finally lived up to her expectations and fulfilled her initial expectations. It took almost a month to see the drawings. For Wu Tong, this speed is considered slow!
