Chapter 519 F404 turbofan engine

The car drove for more than four hours, and transferred from Highway 295 to Highway 95, which runs north and south of the United States, and crosses Connecticut to Massachusetts. [. After driving for a long time, I saw that there were no crops on the roadside, all the trees and grasslands.

"Strange, does Americans not grow food or do they have too much land?" Yang Wanli asked in confusion.

Lin Johnson also said enviously: "The United States has the best land in the world. You see, Americans' skin is white and red, and the climate is so good, just like this! This is the wasteland. Few Americans don't want to plant things like China. There are a lot of land here without anyone growing it!"

Yang Wanli smiled and said, "Okay, we can organize some Chinese people to come to the United States to farm, wouldn't it be!"

Lin Johnson laughed and said, "Don't think that Americans are simply abandoning the waste. In fact, American agriculture emphasizes crop rotation. The land cannot be planted repeatedly for several years and rest. There are also some land that needs to be kept as it is or that no one has planted it because of the high cost!"

He thought for a while and said, "But the method you mentioned is really good. There are still too many farmers in China. You should come abroad to farm, which not only solves the problem of food and clothing, but also earns foreign exchange. It will kill multiple birds with one stone!"

Yang Wanli said: "Yes, our country has a population of more than one billion, of which 900 million are farmers. What land can support such elderly people? I think this abandoned policy is good, saving ground power!"

Lao Yang was also a person who had gone to the countryside to plant land. He knew that land could not be planted for many years. Looking at the endless plains abroad and thinking about the country, he felt very uncomfortable.

Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng also thought about whether to increase the efforts to export labor. As the 1980s began to export some workers in China, the country had intermittently exported some workers to foreign countries, but the organizational efforts and the number of people going abroad were not large, and they were all the actions of some state-owned enterprises and coastal private individuals.

Through Connecticut and Massachusetts, the Lynn branch of General Electric Aviation Motive Group is located in Lynn, Massachusetts, which is not far from Boston, the famous city in the eastern United States. ┠┢┠.<.

Zhang Wei served as vice president of overseas business department at Lynn's Aviation Motive Group, responsible for Asian affairs, and promoting f4o4 is one of his jobs.

He first took Lin Johnson and the other four to a large Chinese restaurant run by his father-in-law, called China Royal Hotel.

This is a big hotel that can accommodate 1,000 people to dine at the same time. It is very bold, decorated in antique style, and has many separate halls. It is very elegant. It is hard to imagine that there were such Chinese-style hotels in the 1980s in the United States, and such financial resources were extremely extraordinary, which shocked Ma Chenglin and others.

After arriving at the hotel, Zhang Wei took Lin Johnson and the other four to meet his father-in-law who was over 70 years old. Then he had a sumptuous Chinese meal in a single hall that had been prepared in advance, which was very different from that of ordinary American Chinese restaurants.

After dinner, Zhang Wei drove Lin Johnson and others to his home. This was a typical American-style house on the ground, the second floor, the first floor of the ground. Mrs. Zhang was at home and warmly received Lin Johnson and the other four.

After the host and the guest sat down for a while, Zhang Wei took out a large enlarged photo of two feet (o.6 meters), which was a photo of him accompanying Cheng Fei and Chief Engineer Tu Jida in front of the J-7m aircraft while visiting Cheng Fei.

At this point, Lin Johnson and Yang Wanli knew about General Electric's intention. It turned out that they were still thinking about Cheng Fei's business. Seeing their Chinese coming to the United States again, they were actively promoting motivation.

Haha. OK, Lin Johnson welcomes Americans to do this very much. If no one cares about people, it will hurt their self-esteem!

Ma Chenglin and Niu Xintang were very enthusiastic. They talked a lot with Zhang Wei. It can be seen that they also knew and participated in Cheng Fei's business.

But in fact, as far as Lin Johnson knows, the J-7m that ended up becoming an export-oriented product and was not equipped with a f4o4 motor. It uses a turboss engine that can be produced in China. General Electric in the United States is in vain. ┠.([.c[om

However, Lin Johnson and Yang Wanli still attach great importance to the F4O4 motivation. The improved models of F4O4 include the F414 that increases the thrust and the civilian G36 paddle fan motor. General Electric's technology based on F1O1 and F4O4 has provided the Air Force with the F11O motivation to replace the F1O motivation used by F-16 and F15. General Electric's thrust-enhanced F4O4-ge-4O2 motivation was used to export equipment to the F18 Hornets in Switzerland and Kuwait. The US military's later F18c and D models also adopted this motivation.

In addition, the subsequent development of the F4o4 is also equipped with a large number of aircraft fighters, such as the Bumblebee, the T-5O Golden Eagle advanced trainer of Korea Aviation Industry Corporation, the Gripen fighter of Sweden's Saab, and the LBSSP of India. It can be clearly seen that the F4o4 is definitely an extremely excellent aviation model. It has excellent design potential and has a lot of room for expansion. It also adopts the advanced design idea of ​​unit components. If the block is broken, it can be replaced directly, which is convenient and low-cost.

No wonder Shenfei wants to use this motivation as the core machine to develop a new generation of aviation. The design of f4o4 is indeed advanced. Compared with the expansion space of this motivation, it is inevitable to give up the motivation of the turbofan 6 that no longer has much expansion capabilities.

After a break at noon, Zhang Wei drove Lin Johnson and others to the General Electric Lynn branch office in the suburbs of Boston. It is worth mentioning that he actually changed to a Dajielong produced by Saturn. The space was large and comfortable enough. The four of them sat in it just right.

In the past two years, Dajielong has been selling well as a multi-purpose commercial vehicle. Since it completely adopts the American local production method and the parts are ready-made products provided by various auto parts companies, the quality is still guaranteed.

After arriving at the company, Li Mao, general manager of Lin En Advanced Project of the Aviation Motive Military Project Department, and Sai Bo, exhibition manager of the F4O4 project, and others received them, introduced the situation of F4O4 to Lin Johnson and others, and took them to the assembly workshop to see the motivation and then to the test drive table.

What Lin Johnson and Yang Wanli never expected was that after Zhang Wei introduced that Li Mao was the father of f4o4 turbofan motives, and he was also a Chinese!

This surprised them very much. It was not convenient for Lin Qiangsheng to ask in detail. After all, this is General Electric Company. I don’t know how many people are paying attention to their visit. Perhaps these Chinese people turned around and wrote records to report after receiving them. After all, they were born and raised here. How much feelings do they have for China in their hearts can be imagined!

Lin Johnson just had some regrets that Chinese people can do good planes and turbofan motives, but the place that allowed them to grow and promote their success was the United States rather than China. This has to be said to be the regret of the motherland!

Yang Wanli's eyes were a little wrong. After all, people who came from that era had a strong relationship with their motherland and their enthusiasm for fighting for it. Previously, Wang Chengdong and Mr. Bao from Grumman, as well as Zhang Wei from General Electric, could also be said to be unskilled business personnel. Since they lived in the United States and worked for American companies, it was understandable that Li Mao had rich knowledge and intelligence but was willing to design advanced aviation motivations for foreigners. This made Yang Wanli a little difficult to accept and unable to understand. Moreover, the domestic situation is well known that the technology is weak and the foundation is weak. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many experts and scholars who returned from studying abroad returned to the embrace of the motherland, but Li Mao stayed and designed such advanced and excellent motivations for Americans. How great would it be if his talent and intelligence contributed to the country!

But why did he stay and not return to China? Old Yang was a little confused.

Li Mao smiled and said to Lin Johnson and others: "Everyone, please follow me into the test workshop, be careful not to touch anything!"

Listening to Li Mao's words made Yang Wanli a little annoyed. He said in a muffled voice: "We won't touch American things!"

Li Mao and Zhang Wei were a little surprised. Why did this older Chinese engineer catch a fire for no reason? The two looked at Lin Johnson in confusion.

Lin Johnson pulled Yang Wanli for a moment, and he smiled and said to Li Mao, "We promise not to touch anything and will not cause you any trouble."

Ma Chenglin and Niu Xintang didn't understand the situation when they saw Yang Wanli's expression, but they didn't say anything, and followed Li Mao into the test workshop one after another.

Yang Wanli said to Lin Johnson a little annoyed: "The hearts of these Chinese people have changed and they are willing to serve foreigners. Alas, it would be great if their knowledge was contributed to the motherland!" He shook his head, feeling a little regretful and a little annoyed.

Lin Johnson said to him: "Since these Chinese can do it, it proves that we can make good things! Remember the equipment and layout here, and we have to make a set when we go back. Once we have gained knowledge, we will not come in vain!"

Yang Wanli nodded heavily and said, "This time I came to the United States to visit the aircraft company, the Americans have gained a lot. The aviation technology of the Americans is indeed good, and they cannot accept it. Especially their various test equipment and supporting facilities, they are quite advanced!"

Lin Johnson touched his chin and said, "F4o4 motivation, what do you think?"

Yang Wan immediately nodded and said, "It's quite good! The parts have a long life and high reliability, and are easy to maintain! According to my estimate, it may be 20 years ahead of domestic aviation!"

Lin Johnson nodded and said, "Actually, we are missing a core phone. Why not just use f4o4 as a reference!"

Yang Wanli's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, Shen Fei already has some technical research materials for f4o4. I'll get it again, don't be idle!"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "It's not enough to have information alone. Without physical objects, we might as well take the opportunity to import some f4o4. It just so happens that the Golden Eagle trainer has not yet selected a supporting motivation. Since we aim at the export market, we should choose international products!"

Yang Wanli looked at Lin Johnson in surprise and asked, "Do you want to order the f4o4 turbofan motor?"

Lin Qiang nodded naturally and said, "Of course, I will regret it if I don't buy it when I can!"

Yang Wanli thought of Lin Johnson's words in confusion. I don't know what it means. Americans have invited them to visit the factory so generously, but will they not let them buy it? (To be continued.)
