It was said that it was an invitation to visit, but it was really a visit. The first stop that the Kuznetsov Design Bureau brought Chen Geng to the Design Bureau was the exhibition hall of the exhibition hall. Looking at the crystallization of modern industries in the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, Chen Geng was drooling and had the urge to resist the two of them. However, it was probably the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it was very likely that the so-called "accompaniment" of the KGB would not agree.

"Mr. Chen, this engine is the world's largest turboprop engine: the nk-12 produced by our Kuznetsov Design Bureau uses a counter-rotating twin propeller design. This engine is mainly installed on the Soviet Union's Tu-95 Bear Strategic Bomber, An-22 Strategic Transporter and Tu-114 Long-range Intercontinental Passenger," accompanied Chen Geng and served as the commentator. Andrei Shamanov, deputy director of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, pointed to the huge engine, which is four or five meters long and has a diameter of two floors in front of him and said to Chen Geng with pride: "The maximum power of this engine reaches 15,000 horsepower."

"Very awesome!" Chen Geng cooperated and gave a look of marvel. Of course, he was really amazed. Damn, for two lifetimes, he finally saw the real nk-12 (for Kuznetsov Design Bureau products, due to translation issues, some data are translated into nk, and some are translated into hk. Let's unify it, use nk): "I heard that all aircraft can be changed to gas engines, right? If this NK-12 is changed to a gas turbine and used on a ship, it would be great. With such a small volume of 15,000 horsepower, 10 units form a unit to use it, it would be 15,000 horsepower."

The comrade of the Soviet "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" who was accompanying next to him kept twitching: You are really thinking about building a ship all the time.

Andrei Shamanov's mouth also twitched twice: "Uh... Our Kuznetsov Design Bureau has a marine gas turbine. I heard that when you came, you were riding on our Soviet Union's Picture-154 passenger plane? The engine here is the Picture-154 engine: nk-8 turbofan engine..."

"No?" Chen Geng smiled badly in his heart, but a puzzled expression appeared on his lips: "When we came, the crew introduced us to us, saying that the 154 was equipped with the engine of the Soloviev Design Bureau. What's going on? Did I remember it wrong?"

Andrei Shamanov's mouth twitched twice!

Kuznetsov, Soloviev and Lotalev are the three most famous chief engineers of aero engine design in the Soviet Union. They are the pillars of Soviet aerodynamic power, and the three chief engineers of the Soviet Union for developing large bypass turbofan engines. However, there is also a problem here. Just like the crosstalk saying "the people who say crosstalk are looking forward to dying to travel together", the aviation engines are not harmonious. The three chief engineers of aero engine design are also dirty, and even "dirty" is not suitable. Many times they just want to stab each other twice.

What do I do? Because resources are always limited, the more we get to the top, the more limited the resources we get, and no one is willing to give up the resources at hand easily, so the dirty thing comes. For example, in the engine on the passenger plane of the 154, the tu-154a is still the nk-8-2u of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau. But the Soloviev Design Bureau didn't know how it was done, and snatched the engine supplier qualification of the tu-154 passenger plane from the Kuznetsov Design Bureau. When we arrived at the 154m, the engine of the aircraft changed from the nk-8 of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau to the d-30k of the Soloviev Design Bureau.

Now Chen Geng talks about the tu-154m they were riding with Soloviev's D-30k instead of the NK-8 of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, which is simply sprinkling salt on the wounds of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau.

Although he was sprinkling salt on the wound, he was facing Chen Geng, who was like a curious baby, and he still had to answer if he should answer. Andrei Shamanov pretended to be careless: "The picture-154 can be equipped with two engines, one is the nk-8 of our Kuznetsov Design Bureau, and the other is the d-30k of the Soloviev Design Bureau. I guess you are riding the d-30k model."

"So that's how it is?" Chen Geng held back his smile and pretended to be enlightened: "It seems that the pictures-154s we bought in our country are all optional D-30k."

Andrei Shamanov: "Haha..."

"By the way, Mr. Andre, which one is better, d-30k or your nk-8?"

"Of course it's our nk-8." Andrei Shamanov thrust his chest and looked at Chen Geng with a proud look, "Do you have any questions about this issue?" No?!

"That's right," Chen Geng frowned and said to himself: "If I remember correctly, the maximum thrust of nk-8 is 93.2kn, the maximum thrust of d-30 pants is 104kn, and the economic, comfortable and reliable of d-30 pants are better. Did the crew lie?"

“…”

Andrei Shamanov's face turned into a pig's liver. Chen Geng clearly saw the anger in his eyes, "Can you chat? You said, can you chat?!". How could anyone like you be? He already knew the technical gap between the two engines, and he pretended to know nothing. Is it fun to fool people?

It felt almost done, and Chen Geng stopped when he saw it was better and smiled: "But it may be that I remembered it wrongly, well... Mr. Andrei, you invited me here, just to let me visit the product line of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, right?"

"Of course not," said Andrei Shamanov, who had just been anxious and anxious, quickly adjusted his emotions, looked at Chen Geng and asked, "Mr. Chen, I heard that you are going to introduce the D-30 pants engine on the Picture-154m from the Soloviev Design Bureau?"

"Correction is not the D-30 pants on tu-154m, but the D-30k series, and there is also the D-36 of the Progressive Machinery Manufacturing Bureau." As long as he said this, Chen Geng stopped keeping it and asked Andrei Shamanov: "Mr. Andrei, is it that the Kuznetsov Design Bureau invited me to come, which is also related to this?"

"That's right," Andrei Shamanov asked Chen Geng to sit down in a chair and said bluntly to Chen Geng: "I hope you think about our Kuznetsov Design Bureau."

Pointing to the NK-25 engine installed on the Tu-22m3 "Counterfire" bomber in front of him, Chen Geng said: "The Kuznetsov Design Bureau is very powerful, but let's not talk about whether our cooperation request can be approved by the Soviet government. Even if it is approved by the Soviet government, your design bureau will not be able to meet our requirements, right?"

After a pause, Chen Geng explained: "Runhua Industrial is optimistic about the development of the world's aviation industry. We believe that the next 21st century will be the century of aviation. We have already said that the aviation industry is listed as one of the pillar industries of Runhua Industrial in the future. We hope to develop into an internationally renowned aviation engine provider that can compete with IE and CFM International in the future, and become a force that cannot be ignored in the international aviation field...

Runhua Industrial hopes to have the ability to produce high-thrust turbofan engines of more than 100kn and large-bypass ratio turbofan engines of 60 to 70kn. For this reason, we are preparing to invest huge amounts of funds to introduce related technologies and manufacturing equipment and manufacturing processes for these two types of engines..."

Andrei Shamanov refused to believe Chen Geng's words, and believed that the comrade who claimed to be the Soviet Foreign Ministry would not believe it. But it doesn't matter. Believe it or not. The key is that I have a reason, that's enough.

The Kremlin and the KGB people firmly believe that behind the actions of Runhua Industrial's purchase of D-30k and D-36 engine technology, there is definitely the intention of the Republican government. Although the Soviet Union could not understand what the Chinese wanted to do for a while, and the specific intentions of the Chinese are still being analyzed, one thing is certain, that is, the Chinese will definitely not only use these two engines for the civilian field.

So the question is, will this type of technology be sold to Chinese?

The Kremlin was still having a fierce quarrel. The Soloviev Design Bureau and the Progressive Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, whose name was mentioned by Chen Geng, were waiting for the Kremlin's orders. Only the Kuznetsov Design Bureau was completely anxious after hearing this news!

Because Mr. Kuznetsov's Design Bureau's relationship with Silayev, deputy minister of the Soviet Aviation Industry Department, was not well-off, while Soloviev's Design Bureau's Soloviev's Design Bureau was very close to Silayev, which led to the selection of Soviet large aircraft power systems, the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, which has no weak technical level, has repeatedly "fallen out of favor" with Soloviev's Design Bureau, representing the trend of international development, which represents the trend of international development.

The same is true during the research and development of large bypass turbofan engines. The Soloviev Design Bureau was approved to develop a d-90 (ps-90) large bypass turbofan engine. The Progressive Machine Manufacturing Bureau led by Lotalev has simply had d-36 and d-18t developed from d-36. What about the Kuznetsov Design Bureau? Their NK-56 large bypass turbofan engine was ordered to be dismissed by Silayev!

Seeing that the two old rivals are living better and better, but they are getting worse every day, how can the Kuznetsov Design Bureau not be anxious? The appearance of the Chinese makes the Kuznetsov Design Bureau look like a life-saving straw for him to turn the current situation around!
