"Everyone."
"Now let's test the high end."
Accompanied by a voice.
With a flick of a finger, Dean Zhao adjusted the gear from "mid-range" to "high-end", and the speed of the gas turbine suddenly increased again.
The whole machine was trembling slightly, like a dormant mechanical beast!
hum!
hum!
The engine blades rotated rapidly, and the numbers on the display screen also soared rapidly.
80,000 horsepower!
90,000 horsepower!
100,000 horsepower!
In an instant.
The horsepower of the engine soared all the way, directly reaching 100,000 horsepower. This figure also made the executives present dumbfounded.
If.
75,000 horsepower is the level of an aircraft carrier engine 50 years ago.
100,000 horsepower is definitely the level of a world-class aircraft carrier today!
Of course.
This gas turbine, thanks to its strong carbon fiber material, does not stop there!
"Overclocking!"
Dean Zhao turned the knob again to adjust the engine gear to the "overclocking" position.
The so-called overclocking.
It refers to the engine, under the premise of sacrificing life and stability, overloading to increase the power to the limit.
boom~
boom~
boom~
After overclocking, the entire engine was already trembling violently, making a violent roar.
The horsepower numbers on the gauges are also soaring!
110,000 horsepower!
120,000 horsepower!
130,000 horsepower!
140,000 horsepower!
finally.
Under the condition of fully overclocking, the limit horsepower of this Neptune gas turbine reached "140,000 horsepower"
This achievement is already enough to instantly kill the aircraft carrier engines of the major naval powers!
throughout the plant.
Everyone, stare wide-eyed, looking at this number, directly enter the state of petrification!!
"My God..."
"140,000 horsepower...is this probably the most powerful marine gas turbine in the world?"
"My God, the horsepower of this engine is enough to instantly kill the power of some small aircraft carriers?"
"Haha... put this engine on a cruise ship, it is definitely an old man Le 467V8 engine - a big horse-drawn cart!"
"Our Jianjia...gas turbine technology has already ranked first in the world!"
"My God... Installing a 140,000-horsepower engine on a cruise ship is really not a waste of money, is it?"
"I think the aircraft carrier is the destination of this engine!"
After recovering.
The executives said with emotion.
"This one gas turbine."
"Under normal circumstances, it can be easily increased to 100,000 horsepower.
"In overclocking mode, it can be easily increased to 140,000 horsepower.
"Of course..."
"Because this is a carbon fiber engine, overclocking will not affect the life of the engine, and it can be overclocked all the time.
Dean Zhao said with emotion.
He couldn't believe it either.
An engineer of an automobile engine himself, somehow, produced an aircraft carrier-class gas turbine.
Of course he also knows.
All of this is due to Gu Bai's design drawing, and Gu Bai is the biggest contributor to this engine!
but.
Although the engine was built successfully.
However, because the Jianjia cruise ship is a full-carbon hull, it is very difficult to manufacture, and it will take some time before it is launched into the sea, so this engine is not available for the time being.
"President Gu..."
"The performance of this Neptune engine is too good. It would be too wasteful if it is only used by Jian Jia.
"I suggest...it's better to sell a batch to the outside world, so as to make a profit."
Dean Zhao suggested.
In fact.
Jianjia has made a lot of achievements in the field of engines. There are three types of fuel engines: Jianjia V8, Jianjia V6 and Teng 4, which are high, medium and low-end engines.
In the field of marine gas turbines, Jianjia also owns Neptune gas turbines.
As an engine expert.
Dean Zhao has long had the dream of building an "engine empire" and reported it to Gu Bai. Now selling gas turbines is only the first step of this idea.
"Yes, Mr. Gu..."
"I also suggest that we push our Jianjia's Neptune gas turbine to the ship market and make him a fortune!"
"To know that at present..."
"The world ship engine market is mainly monopolized by ten major engine companies, mainly European and North American companies, such as: Rolls-Royce, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz MTU, Mitsubishi
"These foreign companies not only drive up the price of gas turbines and drive up the engine market, but also always discriminate against the Longguo market, only willing to sell some outdated products.
"Even...Even the warships of our Dragon Kingdom can only purchase backward gas turbines from abroad at high prices..."
Huang Guozhong, the old factory director, also sighed deeply.
As an old military worker.
Every time he thought of humiliating himself and spending a lot of money to buy outdated gas turbines from foreigners, he felt deeply ashamed.
Huang Lao also hopes in his dreams that Longguo can have its own heavy-duty gas turbines and get rid of its dependence on foreign countries.
18.2...
As the crown of the engine empire, gas turbine technology is not so easy to break through.
However... just when Mr. Huang was about to despair, Jian Jia produced an aircraft carrier-grade gas turbine, which made him, an old military engineer, weep with joy and tears!
"good."
"Jian Jia won't use much of the Neptune engine for the time being. Instead of idling the production line, it's better to produce a batch and sell it to the market to earn a fortune."
"After all, we Jianjia have 100,000 mouths, and they all have to eat. The landlord's family has no food left."
Gu Bai nodded slightly.
But this.
But it caused a look of blank stare. There are hundreds of billions lying in Jian Jia's account. If only the interest is paid, there will be tens of billions of interest every year. Are you afraid that you will not be able to support 100,000 employees?
With hundreds of billions of funds in hand, is there no food left?
And next.
The executives also discussed the sales strategy of the Neptune engine [and pricing issues.
In fact.
Since the cost of producing carbon fiber from Jianjia is very low, the cost of this engine is very cheap.
But considering the excellent performance.
Gu Bai took a big shot, and it was also a decision. The price was set at: 50 million per unit.
After finalizing the price.
Mr. Huang Guozhong, with a hint of hesitation on his face, also thought of the "Confidential Letter" from the military.
If I'm not mistaken.
Now the naval department of Nanqiong Island is worrying about the "heart-changing plan" for warships.
"President Gu..."
"In fact, I... have a customer here, who may be very interested in our Neptune gas turbine."
Huang Lao said lightly.
"oh?"
"Which shipbuilding company?"
Gu Bai said casually.
He was worried that there were not many shipyards in the world that could consume 50 million yuan/set of engines. Unexpectedly, Mr. Huang had customers.
"This client..."
"It's a little bit special...not your average shipyard...it's...military!"
Elder Huang replied.
Then also, briefly introduce the non-confidential part of the "Heart-changing Project" to everyone present.
"military?"
Gu Bai couldn't help but smile lightly.
okay․ ..
Starting from Diamond Saber, Jianjia G6x6, Jianjia Flying Fish Body Armor... Jianjia and the military (cccf) have already had many py transactions.
Unexpectedly, selling the engine this time hit the muzzle of the military again.
"President Gu..."
"Now our navy is in the stage of expanding the Soviet Union, but there is one thing to say, the gas turbine at the heart of a warship has always been the weakness of our military."
"Gas turbines, as they are called, are the heart disease of our navy."
"Over the years, in order to purchase excellent gas turbines from abroad, the Navy has made a lot of mistakes, received a lot of neglect, and was cut a lot of leeks.
"This time the heart-changing plan."
"The navy still requires those foreign companies to suffer a lot of grievances!"
"So I hope... Mr. Gu can give priority to selling the Neptune gas turbine to the military that needs it the most!!"
Elder Huang said in an eloquent voice.
He really...can't bear to look at the navy and be wronged by foreign engine companies again!
"good"
"Since that's the case...then you, Mr. Huang, are solely responsible for the sale of gas turbines to the Navy."
Gu Bai also nodded approvingly.
As a Dragon Country person.
There is no doubt that if the goods are good, they will naturally be given priority to the military that defends the country.
"Ha ha..."
"Mr. Gu...then I will replace the navy first, thank you Mr. Gu!"
"But...for the price..."
Elder Huang showed a hint of embarrassment again.
The engine price of 50 million yuan per unit is absolutely sky-high. According to the military tradition of breaking a penny into two petals, it may not be acceptable.
"Since it's the military."
"The price is negotiable... 50% off.
Gu Bai nodded lightly.
Anyway, the cost of this engine is terribly low, and the 50% discount is also blood money.
"Alright Mr. Gu."
"After the meeting is over, I will contact Commander Qin of the Navy!"
Elder Huang nodded heavily.
Qionghai.
Naval military base.
Chief Qin Beihai is currently presiding over a high-level naval meeting.
"Report to Chief Qin."
"We have contacted Mercedes-Benz MTU to inquire about their new generation of LM3500 gas turbines.
"LM3500, using a number of MTU patented technologies, is more stable and easier to maintain, with a horsepower of 20,000 per unit.
"The selling price is - 35 million per unit."
A military officer reports.
hiss~
Hearing the quotation of 30 million, there was a sudden gasp in the meeting room.
At present, the military's main warship uses the old-fashioned LM2500 gas turbine with a power of 10,000 horses per unit and a price of 10 million per unit.
However, this LM3500 gas turbine doubles the power and increases the price by 2.5 times.
"Black, it's too dark!"
"unacceptable!"
"The power has been increased by 10,000 horsepower, and the price has been increased by 25 million. Is the German guy stealing money?"
"The pricing is only reasonable if it is within 20 million."
"Internationally, the LM3500 engine is just a second-rate gas turbine, yet it is so expensive!"
"I think Mercedes-Benz MTU company is slaughtering our Dragon Kingdom Navy as piglets!"
"The price is so dishonest
!'
"A main warship needs four engines, and the cost of refitting a warship is as high as 140 million!"
“Too expensive, too expensive!”
meeting room.
The naval officers complained for a while.
Good guy.
The Mercedes-Benz MTU company is also too dark. According to this calculation, once all the 300 main ships of the navy are replaced with power, the total cost will be 42 billion yuan.
Enough to build several aircraft carriers!!
"So..."
"What do other companies say, such as Rolls-Royce, Cummins, GM, Volvo, etc.?"
Qin Beihai tapped his fingers on the table and said.
35 million/set.
This price is indeed a bit too expensive, and the navy cannot accept it at all, and it also hopes to buy engines from other companies.
"Report!"
"Our military has already contacted all of the top ten gas turbine companies in the world. In North America, Yinghai's companies have been banned from selling to my country."
"As for the companies in Europe, the quotations are almost the same as those of Mercedes-Benz MTU, and they are all three or four for one engine."
"These foreign companies..."
"It's obvious that we are cutting our Dragon Kingdom Navy like a leek. It's too much!"
The adjutant continued to report.
There was a strong anger in the voice.
"This... hey..."
Qin Beihai also sighed deeply, and leaned weakly on the back of the chair, with a hint of disappointment on his resolute face.
The entire conference room.
Also shrouded in a depressive atmosphere.
Bullying.
It's really bullying.
These foreign gas turbine companies have bullied people even to the navy, it is really unbearable!!
And at this time...
The military officers here are also eager for Longguo to have its own heavy-duty gas turbines. In this case, they don't have to be enraged by foreign companies.
jingle bell~
And just when everyone was at a loss, Chief Qin Beihai's cell phone rang suddenly.
Open it and have a look.
The number comes from Huang Guozhong, director of Jiangnan Shipyard.
"Old Huang?"
"He's not currently working in Jianjia...Call me, what's the matter?"
Qin Beihai rubbed his brows suspiciously.
And then get on the phone.
Immediately...
On the phone, he heard a piece of news that shocked both himself and the Dragon Kingdom Navy!
