"Comrades, Comrade Su Nuan's research team has a design drawing for a turboshaft engine. The technology in it is currently the most advanced technology. I invited all the experts here to let everyone see the drawing."
After that, Minister Lu began to introduce the two parties to each other.
"Mr. Leo, can you show your drawings to other experts?"
"OK"
Leo took out several core design drawings from his briefcase and handed them to the expert in the engine field from China opposite him.
The chief and Su Nuan and the others did not understand scientific research, so they did not make any noise to interfere and sat in silence throughout the whole process.
The experts who received the drawings were initially skeptical and curious.
After taking a rough look, they began to take a serious look. Some experts couldn't help but get excited when they saw the exquisite design.
Some picked up pen and paper and began to calculate. The data they obtained was consistent with what was indicated on the drawings, and their breathing became heavier.
This is only part of the original drawing. After everyone looked at their own drawings, they tacitly exchanged the drawings in their hands with each other.
Time passed minute by minute, and no one in the temporary meeting room interrupted the experts.
After the experts circulated the drawings, one of them said to the leader.
"Captain, although the drawings aren't complete, the design is indeed advanced, and several aspects can be described as brilliant. We've roughly calculated the data structure, and it's basically in line with the requirements. This technology is highly feasible."
The chief was very happy to hear this and asked Leo.
"Mr. Leo, could you tell the experts here about the design ideas behind the turboshaft engine you're researching?"
Leo looked at Su Nuan and nodded, then stood up and replied.
"Yes, Mr. Chief."
"Everyone, the turboshaft engine is the power source of the helicopter. It generates shaft power through the turbine and turbine power to rotate the rotor, and guides the flow and generates electricity and power through the stator blades and compressor.
Turboshaft engine features include a reverse flow combustion chamber, secondary coolers, and variable pitch stator blades to reduce angular momentum and prevent flow separation.”
"The new turboshaft engine we designed has made new breakthroughs in engine power, power-to-weight ratio, and specific fuel consumption."
The experts present were all aviation engine experts, and they were all very familiar with turboshaft engines. They heard what Leo said about the breakthrough and some of the drawings they had just received.
The experts who were originally calm and composed began to get anxious and couldn't help but start asking questions at once.
Leo didn't keep the secret and said it directly.
"Based on our design of a new generation of turboshaft engines, the emergency power is expected to be as high as 2,000 kilowatts, which can easily meet the requirements for a plateau helicopter with a payload of 600 kilograms, a flight altitude of 6,000 meters and a range of 600 kilometers."
"Secondly, the power-to-weight ratio of the turboshaft 10 exceeds 7. We have conducted experiments to achieve a power-to-weight ratio of 7. The new generation turboshaft adopts advanced structural designs such as integral blades and counter-rotating turbines. It also applies a series of high-tech materials, including metal-matrix composites for the compressor and ceramic-matrix composites and carbon-carbon composites for the combustion chamber and turbine.
"These new designs and materials enable the new generation of turboshafts to maintain high power while reducing weight. According to relevant data, the new generation of turboshafts weighs only about 220 kilograms."
Hearing this, the experts all took a deep breath.
You know, the most advanced engine in the world now is the Arriel series from Country F, which is far from meeting this numerical requirement.
After listening to Leo's story, the leader asked.
"Mr. Leo, you mean to say that you not only designed the blueprints but also conducted experiments. Can I understand this as meaning that as long as you are given sufficient conditions and time, this new generation of turboshaft engine can be manufactured?"
"Mr. Chief, yes, but it involves some new materials. Although we have done this before, it will still take some time."
"How long can you make the experiment?"
"It is estimated to take about three months, provided that our material needs can be met."
"Okay, Academician Huang, Academician Li, with this turboshaft engine, can our helicopter designs undergo significant changes?"
Academician Huang said solemnly.
"Aviation engines are the weakest link in my country's military technology. All aircraft models have been constrained by engines and have suffered from a "heart disease". With this generation of turboshaft engines, my country will lead the world in turboshaft engine technology. At the same time, the new helicopters will take the lead in payload, flight altitude, and range."
"Okay, very good, Mr. Leo, your team can temporarily work at the Aviation Research Institute and focus on developing a new generation of turboshaft engines."
"It won't be too late to go back to work after the research institute jointly established by the state and the Su Group is completed. Comrade Su Nuan, what do you think?"
Su Nuan agreed without hesitation.
"No problem, I will totally obey your instructions."
"Hahaha, okay, Comrade Su Nuan, let's have a pleasant cooperation."
"Comrade Chief, it's a pleasure to work with you."
After the meeting, Su Nuan didn’t even have time to say hello to Leo and the others before the entire team was taken away, led by Academician Huang.
Looking at this group of anxious scientific researchers, Su Nuan shook his head and laughed.
What a lovely and respectable group of people.
Su Nuan and Mr. Gu respectfully escorted the leader to the car.
Before leaving, the leader said to Su Nuan with a smile.
"Comrade Xiao Su, everything you do is extraordinary and surprising. Just go ahead and do the research institute's work. I look forward to you bringing me more surprises."
"Thank you for your support, Chief."
The leader smiled and waved, and the car drove away.
After this incident, the establishment of the research institute was finally settled.
Next, Su Nuan took Stephen to start selecting a site near the outskirts of Beijing. After the address was confirmed, they immediately went to various departments to get signatures and seals.
By the time all the procedures were completed, half a month had passed.
That’s it, and it’s still at the speed of special approval.
In the past half month, he has been running around and has lost a lot of weight. Old Mrs. Gu feels very distressed and tries to make supplements for Su Nuan every day.
Gu Chengfeng from Shanghai was sent out on a mission shortly after he reported his marriage, and his return date was uncertain.
Su Nuan has been very busy these days. Originally, their wedding date was set for National Day, but looking at the current situation, it seems uncertain whether they will have time.
The old lady was so anxious that she sighed every day.
Instead, the old man comforted him calmly.
"Old woman, don't worry about it. The children have their own plans. Let's prepare for this first. When they are free, we can get married."
The old lady thought about what was going on, stopped sighing, and helped prepare things.
