Chapter 2077 A Standard Engine
The next day, news came from the Third Ministry of Machine Building that the Bluebird aircraft engine had been assembled and would immediately enter the experimental stage.

When the news spread, it naturally attracted attention from all parties.

In particular, the Shengjing aircraft manufacturing plant sent people to participate in the experimental testing as soon as possible. They had waited for this engine for too long.

Machinery Factory, when Yang Xiaotao came to the assembly warehouse, Liu Huaimin was sitting in the warehouse.

When Yang Youning saw Yang Xiaotao, he pulled him aside and said excitedly, "Did you know? The Third Machine Department has already made it."

"It's two days in advance. This is the result of working overtime."

"Do you know what this means?"

"It means that aircraft manufacturers will choose their engines first, and we will lose the advantage if we make them later."

Originally, Yang Youning thought that their progress would not be bad, even if it was slow, it would not be slow for too long.

The best result is to make the engines one by one.

Then the two were experimented together.

Now, the Third Ministry of Machine Building has made it directly, but it will take at least another day for me.

Isn't this just being outdone?

"Old Yang, I know everything."

Yang Xiaotao said calmly, then patted Yang Youning's arm, "Don't worry, don't worry."

"Didn't I say yesterday that ours is the best?"

"Believe me."

When Yang Youning heard Yang Xiaotao say this, he didn't know what to say.

Yang Xiaotao is not in a hurry, so there is no point for him to be in a hurry.

Liu Huaimin also stood up at this time.

"You just have to figure it out yourself."

"The chief is still waiting for news."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I know what's going on."

Then he walked into the warehouse, and Yang Xiaotao looked at the scattered parts on the ground, his expression becoming solemn.

Anything that appears on the design drawing means that it is a part needed by the engine.

Therefore, the parts on the ground should be assembled.

Even if there is one extra screw, it will be a problem.

This forced Yang Xiaotao to be cautious.

"Boss Yang, shall we start?"

Zhang Guanyu reminded on the side, while Hao Pingchuan yawned on the side.

He has been staying in the machinery factory all this time.

Whenever Zhang Guanyu had something to say, he would listen along.

When he had nothing to do, he would go to the training ground at the back to train with the people from the security department.

Of course, I also know what Yang Xiaotao did in the machinery factory these two days. I also saw with my own eyes that Yang Xiaotao assembled a bunch of parts that gave him a headache just by looking at them. There were so many parts that he felt dizzy just looking at them.

According to Zhang Guanyu, many of the screws here look similar, but there are still differences in size and specifications.

He was even more speechless after hearing this.

This is still a human being.

"It's okay, let's proceed step by step."

Yang Xiaotao smiled at Zhang Guanyu and said, "A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. Taking this final step firmly is the key to success."

"As for the time, we are already behind anyway, so one day or two days behind is almost the same."

"Let's go slower, and we can be more relaxed."

Zhang Guanyu nodded, then came over and prepared to help.

When Hao Pingchuan saw this, he walked over and sat next to Yang Youning.

"Director Yang, can this engine be installed on a ship?"

The sudden question made Yang Youning at a loss, wondering if he had heard it wrongly, "What did you say? This is the engine of the plane, put it on the boat?"

"Yeah, why can't it be used on a ship?"

"The diesel engines you make can be put on speedboats. This engine is bigger. Wouldn't it be better to put it on a boat?"

Hao Pingchuan had worked in the shipyard for some time, so he knew a little about the shipyard's affairs and naturally knew about the engines.

And there is nothing wrong with his reason.

When Yang Youning heard Hao Pingchuan's reason, he was stunned at first, then opened his mouth and his mind raced.

Yes.

Since diesel engines can be used on ships.

Then there is no reason why this aircraft engine cannot be better than the diesel engine.

I used to worry about the use of the engine. Why design an airplane? If this can be used on a ship, who would care about the airplane?

As if opening the door to a new world, Yang Youning reached out and patted Hao Pingchuan on the shoulder, "Okay, Hao, your words really woke me up."

"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, did you hear that?"

Liu Huaimin, who was standing by, heard the second half of the sentence, but it did not prevent him from understanding the situation.

Besides, putting it on a ship is also a solution.

"Finish it first."

Liu Huaimin looked at Yang Xiaotao who was still busy and felt that it was a bit early to talk about this now.

"Then just wait."

After Yang Youning finished speaking, he started chatting with Hao Pingchuan. The two of them huddled together and whispered to each other, laughing from time to time.

Liu Huaimin walked around the warehouse and finally returned to the office.

Just leave this to Yang Xiaotao, he can't help with anything else.

As the sun sets, it reveals its last bit of red.

The lights in the warehouse had already been turned on.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the remaining parts on the ground and scratched his head helplessly.

There is something wrong with the plan.

I thought it could be done in one day.

Now, only half of the work has been done.

During the process, many components were removed for wiring, and finally everything was sorted out.

"Boss Yang, how about coming back tomorrow?"

Zhang Guanyu asked tentatively.

He also realized that this would become more and more troublesome towards the end, and would require more consideration.

He didn't know how the people from the Third Ministry of Machine Building did it, but what was certain was that General Manager Yang was very busy that day.

"Why tomorrow? Work overtime tonight."

Yang Xiaotao rubbed his wrists. Even though his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, his arms and wrists were still a little sore after a day.

Zhang Guanyu looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise. Under normal circumstances, Yang Xiaotao would not work overtime.

Especially when the weather is cold, I run home as soon as I get off work.

Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to work overtime this time.

"What are you standing there for? Go to the kitchen and tell them not to leave us any food." "Oh, okay. I'll go right away."

Zhang Guanyu ran out. Hao Pingchuan yawned and stood up. Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked curiously, "Where is Director Zhang doing?"

"Go to the cafeteria and prepare dinner."

"Oh, dinner? You have to work overtime."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then walked aside and continued working.

Hao Pingchuan looked at Yang Xiaotao, then looked around and saw that there was no one else around, and he felt a little at a loss.

So he walked over to Yang Xiaotao and looked at the engine, "Wow, this engine is so beautiful."

Yang Xiaotao was gesturing, and when he heard Hao Pingchuan say this, he stopped and stood aside to watch.

"You're right, it does look pretty good."

Hao Pingchuan laughed, "I'm just a rough guy, I don't know what's good or bad, but I think the good-looking ones shouldn't be too bad."

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then looked at the guard plate in his hand, found the right position, and went forward to install it.

The Third Ministry of Machine Building.

"Commander, this is Director Wu sent by Shengjing Aircraft Factory. He is responsible for testing the performance of the engine."

Zheng Shuangxi introduced the middle-aged man next to him to Mr. Zhang.

"Hello, Chief. My name is Wu Zhe."

Mr. Zhang nodded and held out his hand. "Welcome, Comrade Wu Zhe."

Wu Zhe quickly stretched out his hands, "Commander, we heard that the whole factory was in an uproar after we made the engine."

"Everyone is waiting, eager to be loaded onto the plane immediately, and then fly into the sky to guard the motherland's skies."

Wu Zhe said excitedly, and Zhang Lao was also infected, so he said solemnly, "Our goal is the same."

"It's just to add a touch of red to the sky."

Wu Zhe nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, we will succeed."

Elder Zhang smiled, but still said, "Comrade Wu Zhe, I have another request for you."

Wu Zhe immediately straightened his attitude and said, "Sir, please speak."

"Well, that is, seek truth from facts and respond to any problem no matter how big or small it is."

"I don't want this engine to go up into space with problems."

Wu Zhe took a deep breath and replied forcefully, "Commander, this is what I wanted to say as well."

"After the last failure, we re-determined our policy, which is to never bring danger into the sky."

"If there is a problem, we will never let it go."

"There is nothing wrong with this. I hope the chief will not blame me."

After Wu Zhe finished speaking, Mr. Zhang naturally had no objection.

"If you find any problems, it means our work is not up to par and needs improvement, which is a good thing."

"Thank you for your understanding, Leader."

Mr. Zhang didn't say anything else, and Zheng Shuangyan took Wu Zhe out of the office.

"Director Wu, you just arrived today, I will arrange for you to rest first."

Zheng Shuangyan led the way and said, Wu Zhe shook his head after listening, "Director Zheng, it's too early to rest. I want to go check out our engine."

"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange a car right away!"

Zheng Shuangyan would naturally not refuse. It has already been done, so what difference does it make if it is done a day earlier or later?

Besides, until the results came out, he was still feeling anxious.

As for why Wu Zhe was so anxious, it was because he was scared by the things happening in the logistics department.

It was he who led people to the logistics department to inspect the engine, and no problems were found in the items checked according to regulations.

But once we got to the sky, problems really occurred.

After investigation, they summarized more than ten reasons.

The biggest reason was that there was a problem with the plane's engine.

So this time when he comes to inspect, he will not only check according to the selected process, but also increase the difficulty of the inspection and do a thorough inspection.

The two drove to the experimental area, which is a place specifically responsible for engine inspection.

The last time, the logistics department's engine underwent initial inspection here.

When he arrived at the workshop and the moment the roof lights came on, Wu Zhe saw the engine covered by a cover not far away.

Restraining his inner excitement, Wu Zhe quickly walked up to him and pulled the cover off.

Then, he squinted his eyes and looked at the engine in front of him.

After a careful look, Wu Zhe had a preliminary understanding of this engine.

The first impression that comes to my mind is that this engine looks familiar.

Same size, length, and structure.

By the way, they look a bit like the Luanfeng in the Logistics Department.

Then my heart skipped a beat. If it was the same as the phoenix, I would have to investigate it carefully.

But then he remembered that the design drawings of the two companies came from the same source.

So it’s normal to look alike.

Bring someone closer to observe.

Director Wu finally made a new discovery. Although it looks very similar to the engine of the Logistics Department, there are still big differences if you look closely.

At the very least, adjustments have been made to the internal layout and structure.

Although it is unclear what impact this adjustment will have, it will definitely not be the same as the phoenix and the dragon.

All they have to do is test the performance of this engine and understand the condition of the engine.

"Director Zheng, let's get started."

Wu Zhe took a look and then asked. Zheng Shuangyan naturally would not refuse, so she asked someone to cooperate with the inspection.

Nowadays, there are no written regulations for engine testing experiments. Most of them are copied from the Alliance, from whether the appearance design meets the requirements of the drawings, to whether the layout structure can meet the needs of the aircraft, and then various indicators are tested.

For example, the ability to work continuously, operation under simulated special circumstances, restart function after shutdown, etc., etc. According to these tests, it is possible to complete the test in one or two years, let alone one or two months.

It is said here to be detection, but in fact many performance characteristics cannot be detected.

Therefore, the best way to conduct experimental tests is to install it on an airplane for a test flight.

Wu Zhe did not waste any time and immediately asked people to start working. At the same time, he took the design drawings handed over by Zheng Shuangyan and began to compare them.

By the time I saw this, it was already midnight.

After Director Wu said goodbye to Zheng Shuangyan, he came to the residence with a serious expression on his face.

The accompanying staff saw this and asked the reason.

Director Wu just waved his hand and said he was fine, just a little tired.

Everyone didn't take it seriously, but in fact, Director Wu knew it in his heart.

The engines of these three machine departments seemed to have no problems and fully met the design requirements at the time.

But if I really have to give an evaluation, it is a pretty average engine.

Perhaps it caters to current aircraft requirements, but it also castrates the potential for aircraft development.

This is a bit of a loss!
