Rebirth 2008: I Can Make Money Reading

Vol 2 Chapter 501: Dreams are the source of vitality

Latest website: October 8,

On the first day after the National Day, academician Wu and other three executives from SAIC came to Xinghai Group.

Mu Yang and Academician Wu are acquaintances, so he met him. After drinking tea in the office, he took Academician Wu and others to the laboratory to see the prototype engine.

The laboratory building is in the third phase of the industrial park, opposite to the Xinghai Building, and it takes a few minutes to get there by the company viewing car from the Xinghai Building.

"Mr. Mu, your company is really big. Building a bridge directly between the two industrial parks is impressive enough."

While sitting in the factory car, Academician Wu and other guests watched the scenery around Xinghai Group curiously, and praised Mu Yang after getting off the car.

"There is no need to cross the road, and the circulation of materials is more convenient and safe."

Mu Yang turned his head and glanced at the bridges that were seven or eight meters higher than Malu Xinghai Avenue and more than ten meters wide.

Academician Wu saw that there were security guards at intervals, so he looked around vigilantly, lest he miss any suspicious situation.

Some of the security guards are fully armed, short of guns.

In addition, there are observation posts in some high places of the building, which echo with the ground personnel, but it is difficult for the ground personnel to find out, because there are too many one-way glass, if you use military infrared thermal imaging cameras for reconnaissance, you will find many infrared features, The observation post was painted with special paint and built a shelter to prevent detection by these equipment.

Of course, the current military thermal imaging cameras have high temperature sensitivity, and anti-detection methods can only cause misjudgments. However, the effect of remote detection is not as good, and if someone outside the company uses these devices for detection, they will also be discovered.

Academician Wu was a little puzzled, but it was not convenient to ask. He guessed that the internal security of Xinghai Group was really tight.

After a while, Mu Yang took Academician Wu and others to the exhibition hall on the first floor of a laboratory building. There were two assembled engines in the exhibition hall, one with the casing assembled and the other with the casing disassembled. The internal pipeline layout and structural parts are exposed, which is more industrial and artistic.

The day after tomorrow, when the super boss was coming to watch, Mu Yang asked Han Li to put the engine in the exhibition area in advance. It was impossible for him to bring Academician Wu and others into the core area of ​​the experimental building, let alone let them see the engine used by Jun.

When Academician Wu saw the prototype, it was like seeing a work of art. He stepped forward to watch it carefully, and praised it from time to time: "It's really a work of art. Look at the pipeline layout. It's in order. Look at these fan blades. The blades are exactly the same, and the surface finish is so high, Mr. Mu, why doesn’t it look like it was processed by a machine tool? Or is it processed and then ground?”

"Made by metal 3D additive technology, the blades are integrated." Mu Yang stood beside him and smiled. "Oh, no wonder, I didn't expect the roughness to be so low, no lines can be seen, and it has reached the level of mirror surface, which is not much different from fine grinding."

"Well, the requirements are high. It is very laborious to process these blades, the fault tolerance rate is low, and the manufacturing cost is too high." Mu Yang said, the overall processing cost is too high, and maintenance is also difficult. If it is broken, it can only be dismantled and sent back to Xinghai Group Repair.

For rework, scan and check with the original drawings to find out which part is missing, formulate a rework plan and process, and then carry out repair welding.

It is troublesome to repair. If the amount of repair is large, it is better to make a new one.

After watching the engine prototype, Academician Wu and the three guests wanted to discuss cooperation with Xinghai Group. Mu Yang handed over the matter to the company's sales department, and he ignored it.

Mu Yang already knew the manufacturing cost and quotation of the XH-AN05-01 engine.

The international price of the LEAP-1C turbofan engine is US$14.5 million, and each C919 needs to be equipped with two engines. The cost of the engine is US$29 million, which accounts for 29% of the cost of the whole C919 at US$99 million.

Therefore, CFM International took the bulk of SAIC's plan to sell C919 finished products.

The engine is an important part of the aircraft. Generally speaking, its value accounts for 20%-30% of the value of the whole aircraft. The smaller the model, the higher the proportion of the engine value, and the larger the model, the lower the proportion of the engine value.

XH—AN05—01 engine ratio

LEAP-X1C is much more advanced, even if you give SAIC a friendly price, the quotation must be more than 100 million yuan.

After the C919 is equipped with the XH-AN05-01 engine, it must be sold at a premium, no longer $99 million.

Of course, the price will not be too high. After all, the price of mainstream medium-sized civil aviation aircraft in the same industry is not much different from that of C919.

For example, the price of the Airbus A320NEO passenger plane is 110 million U.S. dollars, the price of the Boeing 737-MAX8 is about 120 million U.S. dollars, the price of the Boeing 737-MAX7 passenger plane is 99.7 million U.S. dollars, and the price of the 737-800 passenger plane is 96 million U.S. dollars.

The Boyin 737-800 was delivered for the first time in 1998. It is an older model. The C919 is a rookie. The avionics system and airborne equipment are relatively advanced, and a large number of advanced composite materials and advanced aluminum-lithium alloys are used. That's why it's more expensive.

As far as the engine is concerned, there is not much difference.

The engine of the Airbus A320NEO airliner is LEAP-1A, which is different from the LEAP-1C used by the C919 only in the content of the package, missing the nacelle, EBU, nozzle, thrust reverser and other configurations, but the core engine body is exactly the same.

The cost of XH-AN05-01 engine produced by Xinghai Group is not high, weighing less than two tons. Most of the structural parts and blades are manufactured by metal 3D additive process. According to the cost price of one thousand yuan per kilogram of composite materials, it is one or two hundred ten thousand yuan.

Some high-precision parts, if manufactured by machining, will not be more expensive than metal 3D additive manufacturing.

The production cost is not high, but the test cost, research and development cost and other costs are high. If about 100 units are produced, the overall cost will be about 20 million yuan.

However, if the mass production exceeds 1,000 units, the overall cost may not exceed 15 million yuan, or even less than 10 million yuan.

With the ability to sell a hundred engines, the Xinghai Group has already recouped all costs. So, in terms of actual selling price.

Taking into account the competitiveness of peers, the price of peer aircraft, the advanced nature of its own engines, and the most important fuel economy, lighter weight, and various considerations, Xinghai Group’s single quotation for Shanghai Aircraft Corporation is 100 million yuan + four years of fuel saving costs , or 115 million yuan, equivalent to 17 million U.S. dollars.

That is to say, if C919 is equipped with the engine of Shanghai Xinghai Group, it can save 0.63 tons of fuel per hour. According to the current oil price of 4,800 yuan per ton, it can save about 3,000 yuan. On average, each trip takes more than two hours and saves about 7,000 yuan per trip.

Generally speaking, a civil aviation aircraft flies no less than 1,000 times a year, that is, more than 2,000 hours, and can save 7 million yuan a year. After four years, it will be about 30 million yuan, which is equivalent to saving fuel for a single aircraft. 15 million yuan.

Four years later, it has saved nearly 10 million yuan in fuel costs every year compared with its peers.

The service life of a civil aviation aircraft is more than 20 years, generally calculated in hours, about 60,000 hours.

This is equivalent to spending an extra 30 million yuan, and after more than ten years, you can save the cost of an airplane. As fuel prices get higher and higher, that saves money.

The 115 million yuan is the friendly price for SAIC. If the price is too high, SAIC will not be able to make any money. If there is no restriction on export sales, it will definitely be more expensive.

Judging from the current situation, there are only two major international civil aviation aircraft manufacturers, and apart from Airbus, Bodan is the only exporter.

Therefore, it is impossible for Xinghai Group to export, it will only be sold to Shanghai Aircraft Corporation, and it is impossible to design engines for Airbus and Boeing. This money is really not profitable, and the development of aerospace in Western countries must be restricted.

Otherwise, what would Mu Yang do with aero engines?

The market demand for civil aviation aircraft is neither large nor small. The annual delivery of civil aviation aircraft worldwide is about 1,000, of which the Hua country market accounts for more than half, which is divided between Airbus and Boeing.

Generally, civil aviation aircraft are equipped with two engines, that is, 2,000 engines, and the market size is 30 billion US dollars, of which medium-sized passenger aircraft account for a large share.

The senior executives of Shanghai Aircraft Company heard the analysis and quotation from the sales department of Xinghai Group. Based on this calculation, the comprehensive cost of their C919 is higher than before.

An extra 30 million yuan, equivalent to 4.5 million U.S. dollars.

Then, the quotation of C919 must be increased by at least US$5 million, and the international quotation should be more than US$105 million.

However, the engines are more advanced and the fuel economy is better. On the whole, they are more competitive than their peers. I believe customers will choose them.

Therefore, they readily accepted the quotation of 115 million yuan and looked forward to C919 even more. Before, the localization rate of C919 had reached 30%.

However, some core technologies have to rely on foreign suppliers including GM and Honeywell, and there is a hidden worry of "stuck neck".

Now Xinghai Group's engines are used, and the localization has increased to more than 60%, and it is expected to reach more than 80% in the future.

C919 can drive the aviation manufacturing industry chain to continuously upgrade to the high end, break the monopoly of the domestic civil aviation aircraft market, and move towards breaking the monopoly of the international civil aviation aircraft market.

However, in order for the C919 to truly go global, it still needs to obtain airworthiness certification from the Ouzhou Aviation Safety Administration (EASA) and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Due to the developed aviation industry in Ugland and Ouzhou, the airworthiness certification systems of EASA and FAA are more complete, and their airworthiness standards have become the de facto access standards for the international civil aviation industry. Many countries will refer to the standards of the two or directly Commercial aircraft entering the country are required to meet these standards.

It should be pointed out that the rise of domestic large aircraft directly challenges Boyin and Airbus, and faces many "non-technical factors" obstacles.

The lesson from the past is the Pangbadi Company of Ghana. The company developed a C-series airliner with more than 100 seats to challenge the large aircraft market. As a result, it encountered heavy pressure and had to sell the project to Airbus.

But no matter what, even if it can't grab the cake internationally, the domestic cake is enough for SAIC.

Due to the state-owned nature of domestic airlines, they will definitely support C919, let alone more fuel-efficient.

When the C919 is mass-produced and the production cost is reduced, the quotation will definitely drop;

Similarly, when the quantity of XH-AN05-01 engines increases, the production cost will also decrease, and the quotation to SAIC will also decrease.

In the end, the two parties initially negotiated a cooperation. …

Saturday, October 10, 2015. early morning.

Mu Yang got up, rinsed his mouth and brushed his teeth as usual. Although his wealth was several trillion yuan, his breakfast was still the same, an egg, a cup of hot milk, a bowl of noodles or a snack, that was all.

If you get hungry after the morning shift, there are some snacks in his office to satisfy your hunger.

The difference is that these ingredients are not bought, but grown and bred in their own ecological garden, which currently covers an area of ​​several thousand acres, not only for their own use, but also for the company canteen.

Of course, the company has a large number of employees, and these thousands of acres of ecological parks alone will certainly not be able to meet all food needs.

Muyang's two children are over two years old and can walk independently. When he just finished breakfast and was about to go out to the company, the two little guys had already taken the elevator downstairs. Seeing that their father was going out again, they hurried over to ask for a hug. one time.

"Dad is going to work, and he must be obedient at home." Mu Yang picked up the two siblings one by one, and slapped their little faces before letting go.

"Goodbye, Dad!"

Seeing that his father had just gotten into the car, but the car hadn't left yet, the two little guys waved and quickly went back to the house. "Brother, Dad is not at home, you can watch TV."

"Well, don't come back so soon." Xiao Fan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, with a smile on his face.

"No, I won't be back until evening." Xiao Xi replied with a small mouth.

Suddenly, there was a sound of brakes outside the villa. The two little guys just sat down on the sofa and were about to turn on the TV. When they saw Mu Yang walking back, their expressions instantly collapsed and their eyebrows frowned.

"Dad, why are you back?"

"Dad forgot to bring your mobile phone." Mu Yang waved his hand and walked quickly to the stairs. In less than a minute, he came down from upstairs again and left by car.

this

Once, Xiaoxi ran to the gate of the villa and ran back to the house after seeing her father get in the car and leave.

"Brother, Dad finally left. It was so scary just now." Xiao Xi patted her chest with both hands, exhaling exaggeratedly.

"Dad doesn't let us watch too much TV, but it's very good."

The two children are also taken care of by a nanny. As long as they don't touch dangerous objects, they won't interfere with their actions, and they can't help them eat or drink.

Outside the villa, there are more than a dozen bodyguards patrolling.

Mu Yang's family lived in a villa, and there was a villa next to it where bodyguards and nanny lived. Mu Yang, who had already left home, didn't know what the two little guys at home were thinking.

Today, he has an important task.

It was scheduled to come to the company for inspection during the National Day. Besides him, he was also accompanied by the head of the machinery department and the main leader of Sheng Shi.

The original plan was to bring experts over, but in the end he didn't bring them. Mu Yang himself is a top expert, so why bring experts over.

Mu Yang arrived at the company at eight o'clock earlier, and after seeing the president Zhou Chen, he told him about today's events.

Yesterday afternoon, Mu Yang had already told him that someone from above would come this afternoon, and asked him to arrange to meet with the leaders together at that time.

The leader mainly came to see the engine, and Zhou Chen explained to Han Li, asking him to arrange for someone to clean up the 5S on site.

Xinghai Group will clean up the 5S every afternoon five minutes before get off work, do a general cleaning every weekend before get off work, and maintain the equipment before the National Day holiday. The 5S is usually done very well, so it doesn’t take half a day to clean up the site up.

In the past two or three years, one or two super bosses have visited Xinghai Group every year. Even the leaders of other departments come more often.

If it is not a super boss, leaders of other levels will operate as usual when they come to Xinghai Group, and they will not specialize in 5S. Muyang also prohibits the company from engaging in formalities and welcome ceremonies, so as not to affect R&D work and production.

Nowadays, even if the super bosses visit and investigate, they will not engage in 5S in the whole group. The Xinghai Group is too big, and it is impossible to finish the tour, even in a day.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Yang and Zhou Chen met

The boss and the others came to a meeting room after the two parties were courteous, and Zhou Chen introduced the company's development in the past two years, focusing on the development of aero-engines.

Holding the teacup in one hand and the lid in the other, the boss said happily, "Mr. Mu, aviation engines are very important to the country. Xinghai Group has developed a world-class civil aviation engine, which directly broke the market monopoly of Western countries. .

At the beginning of this year, the above discussed the establishment of my country's aero-engine group and the establishment of a complete industrial chain for the development and production of my country's aero-power, so as to improve the overall level of my country's aero-engine and solve aero-power based on independent innovation.

But I didn't expect that you took a step first, and it was a big step, with surprises and congratulations. In the previous life, in 2016, a state-owned holding group company was jointly established by G Institute, BJ Shizheng FU, Huaguo Aviation Industry Group Corporation, and Shanghai Aircraft Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 50 billion yuan.

In this life, the first flight of the C919 has progressed faster, and the decision to form an engine group has been advanced. But unexpectedly, the Xinghai Group set off a big firework just before the discussion was formed.

The newly formed engine group plans to start developing the third-generation civil aviation engine, but unexpectedly, Xinghai Group has already developed the fifth-generation top-notch engine.

It seems that it would be embarrassing for Huaguo Engine Group to develop the third generation.

Mu Yang was a little embarrassed, this was kept too well, and said: "Isn't this worrying about outside interference? If the plan is made public before it is developed, it will make people laugh."

The boss couldn't help laughing: "Dreams are the source of vitality, and the Zhonghua nation is a nation that has the courage to pursue dreams, and it is very well presented in you.

If there is no dream, where is the inspiration for research and development.

You can do scientific research in a down-to-earth manner and with a calm mind. This spirit is worth advocating and carrying forward.

To engage in scientific research is not to be a traffic star, but to have real talents and practical learning is the real ability. You can do nothing if you spend all day doing hacking. "

"Leadership is overrated."

After chatting in the conference room for a while, Mu Yang took the leader and others to the engine laboratory. ten minutes,

Everyone came to the civil aviation engine exhibition hall.

Among these leaders, except for the boss and the head of the mechanical department who know a little about aircraft engines, the other leaders don't know much about it.

For them, it is very powerful to be able to develop a civil aviation engine. It is probably difficult to understand what performance parameters you tell them.

Of course, since we are going to visit and investigate, Xinghai Group's engine parameters have been announced, so I quickly charged it recently to learn more.

After watching the engine amidst the sound of praise, it happened that there was an engine life test today, so Mu Yang brought everyone to the test site.

The engine test is more shocking than looking at dead objects. There is a "buzzing" sound in the field, but the sound heard in the observation room is very small.

Mu Yang introduced to the boss:

"The international civil aviation engine test project requires us to complete the test results. There is no problem, and it can be carried on the plane for test flight. However, we have added some test projects to become more familiar with our own engines and to be more secure.

At present, the reliability of each component is being tested. We need to detect which components are the first to suffer fatigue damage and record the data of vulnerable parts. "

"How many hours are required to run?"

"General civil aviation engine requirements are not less than 1,000 hours accumulated. Our requirements are higher. Let's keep testing and see how much the upper limit is. It's better to be confident." Mu Yang replied, the life of an engine It can reach more than 50,000 hours. It is impossible for them to test for tens of thousands of hours. Regardless of the price, the time is not allowed. They run ten hours a day and it took more than ten years to complete the test.

"Isn't this test expensive?"

"Yes, we are testing with a super power of 110%, which consumes a lot of fuel. It is close to one and a half tons per hour, and we test for more than ten hours a day." Mu Yang said, and turned to ask Han Li next to him, "How long is this engine tested?" already?"

After announcing the engine to the outside world, Mu Yang ordered Han Li not to hide the test anymore. In order to conceal it, he was very careful in buying aviation fuel and testing it.

Han Li said respectfully: "So far, this engine has accumulated 255 hours, and no problems have been found for the time being."

"Here, the cost of burning oil for just one hour is nearly 10,000 yuan. This test cost is too high." The boss and other leaders said in surprise.

"In order to test the limit of the engine, a number of destructive tests have been carried out. We have already scrapped 11 units, and we will continue. This is a bottomless pit, so the cost of engine development is very high."

Mu Yang's words made the leaders on the scene even more surprised.

After about fifteen minutes, the engine test investigation was ended.

During this process, the boss talked a lot with some scientific researchers, said a lot of words of praise, and encouraged them to make persistent efforts.

On the way out of the engine test field, the boss said to Mu Yang: "Mr. Mu, it is very rare to develop a world-class civil aviation engine, and the technical level has reached the world's first."

After speaking, he asked how likely it was to be copied. After all, if SAIC wants to export the C919 in the future, the engine will inevitably be dismantled for research.

Mu Yang pondered for a while, and analyzed: "Leader, there is a hidden danger, but it will be difficult to break through in the next ten years.

Even if you know the engine of the Xinghai Group, it is impossible to imitate it, it is too difficult.

For example, the air holes inside the blade must be manufactured by metal 3D additive technology. If ordinary metal 3D additive equipment is used, because the technical level cannot reach the level of forgings and the precision is poor, it cannot be manufactured at all.

The breakthrough here is very difficult, but just in case, we do not sell metal 3D additive equipment to the outside world, and the confidentiality level is the highest.

In addition, for example, if the metal 3D additive equipment of our company is stolen, it cannot be used normally. Our company's metal 3D additive equipment, and self-developed AD three-dimensional software

The combination of parts and components is the fastest and most accurate.

Generally, the AD software sold outside may not have functions such as linking with metal 3D additive equipment, automatic identification, and automatic generation of scanning modules.

The engine also involves high-temperature resistant composite materials, which can be imitated not only by stealing the technology.

Of course, even if you steal our company's engine technology, you can learn some experience, which is not useless. "

In fact, Xinghai Group's metal 3D additive technology is the core technology. No matter how much it costs, Muyang will not sell it. It is because of this technology and this core manufacturing foundation that there are aero engines, rocket engines, etc. cutting edge products.

"Well, then I'm relieved." The boss nodded appreciatively.

After inspecting the civil aviation engine project, the boss wants to inspect the progress of Xinghai Group's advanced high-speed rail and super high-speed rail projects. This involves the country's future transportation strategy. By comparison, I feel that the civil aviation industry is not so important.

However, the hyperloop and high-speed rail projects have conflicts of interest with commercial aviation.

However, it will take a long time for advanced high-speed rail to become popular, and it is impossible to replace civil aviation aircraft within ten years. As for the super high-speed rail project, if it wants to be successfully developed, in Muyang's plan, it will take about three or four years, and several years of verification and various procedures. If it is actually put into operation, it will take seven or eight years. , that time was longer.

Mu Yang will give civil aviation engines a window of time, and when Xinghai Group earns almost the same money as civil aviation engines, they can vigorously launch Hyperloop and Advanced High Speed ​​Rail.

After inspecting the super high-speed rail project, the boss wants to chat with Mu Yang privately about the country's future transportation strategy, and wants to listen carefully to Mu Yang's thoughts. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com

In the chairman's office, there were only Mu Yang and the boss, sitting facing the tea table, drinking tea and chatting.

Mu Yang would like to talk about his general plan. Even if hyperloop and high-speed rail are successfully developed, they still need state support for their development and popularization. The timing of popularization depends on the timing, the international situation, and the needs of the country.

"Okay, your idea is quite good, after your side successfully develops it, the higher-ups will conduct an analysis and discussion on this matter.

Even if I retire, I don’t have to worry about this project. As long as it is good for the country’s development, the higher-ups will strongly support it. "The boss said, giving Mu Yang a promise.

Mu Yang understands, but after a few years, this boss will retire. At the end of the chat, Mu Yang hesitated, but decided to tell him:

"Leader, you have come here today. Taking this opportunity, there is something very important. I still plan to disclose it to you in advance. It needs to be kept secret and cannot be disclosed to the outside world for the time being."

The boss saw Mu Yang's serious expression, and his expression became serious, and he nodded solemnly: "Okay, tell me!"
