H company has no opinion on this, because they have tripled the supply price of the Tengfei plant. Each set of "discovery" UAV system costs US $3 million, which does not include personnel training and basic system spare parts.
If the UAV is damaged and needs to be repaired, the price is extremely high. Even if you change a screw, you can't get it down without a hundred thousand dollars. Is it too expensive? You don't have to buy it. H company doesn't force anyone to buy "discovery" UAV system.
But the problem is, in addition to the U.S. military, there are no high-end UAVs available in other countries and regions except for the discovery of UAV system. There is no way to carry out all-weather real-time image transmission. After several times around the world, it is found that such a UAV system can be bought on the market. Who can buy it?
In particular, after H company won the US military's super large order for UAVs, its technical capability was fully recognized by the US military, and some buyers who had been waiting on the market did not hesitate. Even the US military's big order companies could not be wrong.
As a result, orders from Europe, America and the Middle East are piled into the Sales Department of H company, which makes H company overjoyed. At the same time, it also makes them extremely distressed. There is no way. Their production capacity is too poor, so they can only constantly urge the take-off factory to step up production.
As a result, Tengfei factory soon got another $100 million order for discovery UAV system.
Tengfei factory has no problem with the production capacity of ty-2 UAVs. After digesting the UAV production line of IAA company in Israel, Tengfei factory has reached an annual output of 500 UAVs.
It can fully meet the needs of existing orders.
The problem is that now Tengfei factory not only needs to produce ty-2 UAV platform, but also needs to use all kinds of electronic equipment and accessories provided by H company to assemble ground control station and logistics support vehicle.
What's wrong is that H company has arranged everything, that is, the vehicles used as ground carriers have not been given to Tengfei factory, Tengfei factory does not produce cars, and there are no large trucks in China to serve as refitting platforms.
In desperation, Tengfei factory can only look at neighboring Japan and prepare to import Japanese heavy trucks for refitting, and then export them abroad.
It's just that since the upsurge of buying and selling cars in Leizhou, domestic approval has become very strict. If other manufacturers type their reports, they will be able to approve three or four cars.
However, in the report of Tengfei factory, the superior gave Tengfei factory a target of 50 vehicles a month without thinking about it, which is 600 vehicles a year.
As soon as the news came out, other units in need immediately found their superiors, hoping to give them more indicators, and taking Tengfei factory out as an example.
After listening to it patiently, the superior leaders of other people laughed: "if you can refit imported trucks and export them to the country every year to earn US $100 million in foreign exchange, I will approve as many targets as you want."
In a word, those units want to be immortal and die. If they want to achieve the target, they have to achieve the small foreign exchange target of 100 million US dollars first. All the units are under great pressure, so naturally they don't go to the superior leaders.
However, the leaders can't be bothered, but Tengfei factory can. So there are so many people who come to Tengfei factory for a while to rub the index, which makes Zhuang Jianye's head buzzing all day.
I don't know for a moment whether it's right or wrong to choose Japanese truck to refit ground control station.
When he mentioned Japan, Zhuang Jianye inadvertently looked at the last and thickest pile of technical documents. All the texts were in English, but the source was Mitsubishi group of Japan.
The content is messy, involving a lot of technology, and is not systematic. Most of them are messy and useless. However, Zhuang Jianye carefully turned them over and found out three unexpected surprises.
The first one is the original technical scheme of metallurgical equipment, which is called advanced material sintering furnace. The introduction in it can be described in detail, even mixed with a lot of anecdotes. A well done technical document, like an unorthodox folk anecdote, always gives people a sense of absurdity.
However, the more you look at it, the more surprised you are. The Japanese call it advanced material sintering furnace, but it will have a more sci-fi and resounding name after two years of full application, spark plasma sintering furnace, or SPS device for short.
Someone asked, what's this for?
It's very useful. Because the turbine disk of aeroengine has to bear high temperature and high pressure, the general metallurgical process can't meet the requirements, so a new process called powder metallurgy was invented. If you want to rapidly prepare the metal in powder state, you need advanced sintering technology to complete.
The spark plasma sintering furnace is the key equipment in the core sintering process of powder metallurgy.
Its function is just like the equipment synthesizer in the game. No matter what material or texture is put in, it can always give you something to dissolve.
Spark plasma sintering furnace is the same, because the temperature of plasma is 4000 ~ 10999 ℃, its gaseous molecules and atoms are in a highly activated state, and the plasma gas has a high degree of ionization, so it can make the close integration of different materials to generate new materials.
Therefore, whether in the metallurgical casting of the existing aero-engine core components, or to explore more advanced and reliable materials, spark plasma sintering furnace is an indispensable core equipment.In this way, it's hard for Zhuang Jianye to be surprised. Compared with the second one, it's a little bit worse. The information is also a lot of garrulous, but it's just a hypothesis that titanium and aluminum are used as the base to form a titanium aluminum alloy.
There is no definite experimental data in the data, but several general theoretical ranges are given. The feasibility of this material is studied in advance. It is considered that the titanium aluminum alloy may replace the nickel base alloy which is widely used in aeroengines.
Can it be replaced?
Others can't give it, but Zhuang Jianye doesn't hesitate at all. Naturally, he can't do it any more.
Titanium aluminum alloy is not only light in weight, but also has high strength and heat resistance, which is several times stronger than nickel base alloy. It can be said that it is the natural core material of aeroengine.
However, the preparation of this kind of alloy is quite difficult, and the traditional method can not achieve the fusion of titanium and aluminum. However, with the former spark plasma sintering furnace and powder metallurgy technology, it can be perfectly solved.
After seeing these two things, Zhuang Jianye was surprised and sighed. One is the core equipment, one is the core material, and the other is the huge pit burning money. However, in order to take off the surging power of the factory, it seems that there is no need to burn less.
As a result, after Zhuang Jianye found the third surprise, he immediately changed his mind. There is no way. There are priorities. No matter how good the first two are, it will be in the next few years. Now, the gas turbine installation of Tengfei factory is in urgent need of this technology, which is the most cutting-edge turbine blade cooling technology of today's aero-engine - film cooling!
