Chapter 391 A New Engine!
Chapter 391 A New Engine!
At the same time, Shen Fei dialed his father-in-law, a member of the Standing Committee, again:
"Dad, we've made another engine. Why don't you have someone haul it away?"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, as if they were thinking.
Zhang Shiqing was also aware that there were many things hidden in the preparation laboratory. After all, when he last visited his research center, many of the laboratory doors wouldn't let anyone in to look inside...
Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) gave the reason that it was for secrecy and that they had not yet developed a solution...
But they all knew very well that there were definitely better things in the lab.
It sounded like Zhang Shiqing was taking his medicine on the other end of the phone, and then after a while he said:
"Your engine did a great job last time."
Tell me, what kind of engine is it this time?
"I named it the WS-10X Kunpeng Engine myself."
Kunpeng!
Upon hearing these two words, Zhang Shiqing immediately went to the provincial party secretary's office next door.
After all, the name "Kunpeng" is the same as a certain model, which is missing an engine, specifically a domestically produced engine for a large domestically manufactured aircraft.
He had a premonition...
After pushing open the office door, the secretary immediately put down his work, knowing that what could make Zhang Shiqing rush over so urgently must be news from Shen Fei.
"As you probably already know, this is the engine of a transport plane."
Thrust-to-weight ratio 10.5, thrust 16.8, lifespan 6000 hours.
It consumes one-quarter less fuel than the Taihang engine.
With full-authority digital chain, infrared stealth bottle opening, and 2-dimensional vector thrust.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Shiqing and the provincial party secretary were both stunned. They both needed to process this concept, even though Haiying had already made them understand the extent of their expertise in telepathy.
But they broke through again so quickly...
"Say it again, how much thrust?"
"Uncle Li is here too..."
"The thrust-to-weight ratio is 10.5, which is almost two points higher than the design value of the Taihang engine."
The lifespan is 6000 hours, and the initial lifespan is 2000 hours.
The Y-20 is lacking this engine; its thrust is insufficient, fuel consumption is high, and lifespan is short. Replacing it with this engine will increase the Y-20's payload from 55 tons to 70 tons and its range from 4000km to over 6000km.
Neither Zhang Shiqing nor Secretary Li answered. However, their breathing could still be heard; it was very rapid, clearly indicating that they were very excited.
Shen Fei could understand their situation, after all, this matter was too big.
After a long while, Zhang Shiqing said, "Wait for my call."
Zhang Shiqing put down his phone and, seeing that neither Secretary Li nor the other person were there, immediately dialed the next number.
Because their thoughts had both drifted to Sichuan Province, thousands of miles away, and to that May six years ago...
In 2008, in addition to hosting the Olympic Games, China also experienced a world-class earthquake.
At that time, Secretary Li was the Vice Governor of Sichuan Province, in charge of transportation and industry.
After the earthquake, he immediately went to various places that were like hell on earth. What he could never forget was not the airplane, but the airplanes in the sky.
Three days later, he watched from the airport control tower as plane after plane of type 76 flew in from Russia, unloading tents, medicines, and excavators.
That was the largest transport plane that could be mobilized at the time, but it belonged to someone else, and we paid a certain price for it.
At that time, China's largest transport aircraft was still on the blueprints of the design institute, and the fundamental reason why it could not enter service for so long was the lack of a suitable engine.
Secretary Li recalled that a deputy commander stood on the control tower watching the Type 76 aircraft land, and after a long sigh, said, "Old Li, when do you think we'll be able to have our own large aircraft?"
At the time, Secretary Li didn't know how to answer the deputy commander, so he added, "Even an engine that can haul 50 tons of cargo from Chengdu to Lhasa would do!"
Six years later, those words are still etched into Zhang Shiqing's very being.
Secretary Li picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number...
"Commander, the other side of the communication channel... they've made another breakthrough. The transport engine they've developed can be used on the Y-20."
Having learned from past experiences, this time the leader did not ask whether the parameters were reliable.
Just say you'll send someone over tomorrow!
The leader was very excited after hanging up the phone. Last time it was Hai, and this time it was finally their turn.
Poor old Lu!
…………
Just as they began testing the engine, rumors also began their final warm-up activities.
On November 10th, eight days before the launch event, Transsion finally began to tease its new product.
However, this time the publicity department did not create any countdown posters or release any promotional videos.
Only one picture was released!
A mobile phone screen is quietly lit up in the very center, without a large forehead or chin, only a small punch-hole in the middle.
The four bezels on the top, bottom, left, and right are so narrow they're practically thin lines, a huge improvement compared to current smartphones...
At the same time, Digital Chat Station also forwarded the news: "Transsion mobile phones will be the world's first to launch full-screen technology, adopting a brand-new aspect ratio, eliminating the large forehead and chin, making the overall appearance of the phone more beautiful."
"Holy crap! More new technology. Is America really a boon for China's tech industry?"
"Damn it, let's punish them again! Just expose Taishan 930!"
The digital chat site replied: "I actually got my hands on the 930, its performance will be even better!"
"Brother Zhan, can you remove this hole? It looks awful!"
"Exactly! I wish they could remove this hole!"
"That means removing the front-facing camera, since most people are already taking photos."
"I don't care, I'm only responsible for making demands [doge emoji]. As for the technology, that's the manufacturer's problem to solve."
At the same time, Liu Jun of Lenovo Group in Kyoto was also very surprised.
He just ordered a batch of Transsion Z2 OLED screens...
As soon as he arrived at the warehouse, Chuanyin pulled out a batch of new products. So the goods he ordered were for clearing out inventory?
This……
He angrily wanted to call Liu Fang and confront them, but when he picked up his phone... he slowly put it down again. Forget it, he decided not to humiliate himself.
Perhaps this entirely new form requires certain technological advancements!
Meanwhile, Zhao Ming of Honor was visibly excited, knowing that this full-screen design required a specific screen ratio for the phone's operating system.
Android manufacturers can't use it, and that has nothing to do with Honor. Now Honor will be "leading the way" again.
…………
In the following days, Transsion continued to release information, including its brand-new under-display fingerprint technology and the concept of a full-screen display. Each announcement surprised fans...
This also caused panic among other competitors!
After all, it seems...it seems...that they can't use this full-screen technology!
Google! Android!
