Busy time always flies by.
At five o'clock in the evening, under Wang Ye's organization and command, everyone finally assembled the first experimental engine!
Looking at the engine on the test bench, Wang Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. To be honest, if it were just to produce an ordinary vehicle engine, it would not be much trouble, and there would be no need to spend such a long verification time.
The problem is that this engine will be used in rotorcraft in the future!
In a sense, this is a special engine. It needs to use less mass to provide greater power. It is limited by the manufacturing level of the machinery factory and the limitations of the production line, which caused Wang Ye a lot of trouble.
Even the current engine has many differences from Wang Ye's original design.
But despite this, this engine still failed to meet the performance required by Wang Ye's original design. The most intuitive problems are three points: power, fuel consumption, and service life.
Power will determine the take-off weight of the rotorcraft. Currently, the total power of this engine after multiple adjustments is expected to barely reach 90 horsepower, which is much smaller than Wang Ye's expected 110 horsepower.
As a result, the take-off weight of the entire rotorcraft is about 500 kilograms.
Secondly, the fuel consumption is at least 20% higher than Wang Ye expected. This is related to the endurance of the rotorcraft. The current theoretical endurance time should be about three and a half hours.
Coupled with the rotorcraft's maximum flight speed of 180 kilometers per hour, which is a combat radius of about 250 kilometers, including the round-trip fuel volume, if a suicide attack is carried out, there will be a combat radius of more than 500 kilometers.
The last thing is the service life.
In order to squeeze out the most power, this engine must be inspected every twenty flight hours, a minor maintenance every one hundred flight hours, and a major maintenance every five hundred flight hours.
Only in this way can we ensure that there will be no problems during operation.
However, in the future, rotorcraft will exist as military fighter aircraft, and such maintenance time is not excessive.
Of course.
If maintenance is not carried out, maybe there will be no problems after flying for thousands of hours, but this is purely a gamble. After all, this thing loses power. In most cases, it can make a safe emergency landing. As for a few cases, that is Another question.
That is why.
Therefore, Wang Ye also made changes to the design drawings of the rotorcraft. Today's rotorcraft basically has two seats mounted on the engine. The entire structure is extremely simple. The core is an iron frame, an engine, a fuel tank, and a fuel tank. A pair of auxiliary power propellers and a pair of lift propellers. It is not impossible to buy an engine and send it to the aircraft. It is quite a bit like the style of later Honda companies.
However, although it looks a lot shabby, it does not affect its combat capabilities.
As for armor and protection, originally there is no need for this thing. If it is hit by a ground weapon, it will be a dead end whether or not it is equipped with any defense. It is better to remove them all. If you die, you will die. This is life!
"Come on! First, quack, quack, quack!"
After a brief silence, Wang Ye took the lead in applauding with a smile. Instantly, there was a burst of applause in the workshop, and some people even couldn't help but have red eyes, and the filming was so exciting.
No wonder they were so moved. In fact, in the past month, these people here, who only knew car engine repair in the past, forced Wang Ye to become a half-assed engine engineer. After all the hard work and sweat they put in, only he Know!
"How is it? Our engine is assembled."
"Do you guys have any confidence?"
Then Wang Ye glanced around and asked again with a smile.
Faced with this problem, dozens of people in the workshop looked at each other, and one could see obvious unconfidence in their eyes. After all, everyone was self-aware in the past. From repairing cars to building engines, everyone knew this. Listen to the book from heaven!
"Have confidence! As long as there is no problem with the factory director's design, there is absolutely no problem!"
"The parts are all produced by us. Each part has been carefully inspected and all meets the requirements. I also checked the final assembly process several times, and everything fits perfectly!"
"So, there must be no problem!"
At this moment, a young man in the crowd who was in his early twenties and had a short haircut shouted with his neck strangled.
In an instant, there was a roar of laughter in the workshop. It was obvious that this young man had pushed the problem to Wang Ye in a sense. That is, as long as there is no problem with the drawings given by Wang Ye, then there must be no problem with the product!
"Very good, you just need this kind of confidence!"
“You have to have absolute confidence in the products you produce.”
"Of course, whether it is confidence or arrogance, fully prepared confidence or blind confidence, that is another question."
"After all, it's a good thing to have this confidence. The factory director is optimistic about you!"
"I remember you. After you finished studying at night school, I specially transferred you from the manufacturing factory to the machinery factory."
"Your name is Chen Hang, right?"
Most of the people present were middle-aged and even gray-haired Uncle Beier. There were only a few young people who were less than top leaders. They were all good prospects that Wang Ye picked out from his night school days and served as the basis for Wang Ye's next plan. , and this Chen Hang is one of them.
"yes!"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, Chen Hang blushed with excitement. Next to him, Chen Hang's father, Lao Chen, who was originally responsible for car maintenance in the machinery factory, felt even happier than Wang Ye had praised him, and he rubbed his hands in excitement.
"Very good, then it's up to you to activate it for us!"
“See with your own eyes whether it works or not!”
Under Wang Ye's encouraging eyes, the young man nodded, walked to the test stand, hesitated for a second, and pressed the ignition button under the gaze of everyone!
"Zizzizi!"
Along with the sound of the starter, the next second!
"Buzz buzz!"
The engine is running!
As bursts of green smoke were emitted, the air was filled with the smell of exhaust, and the dense running sound of the engine came to my ears. It was countless times more beautiful than those old trucks and motorcycles in the factory!
"It worked! It worked!"
"Hahahaha! We succeeded!"
"We have an engine in our machine shop! Long live! Long live!"
"Great! This sounds great!"
"That's right, it's not comparable to those old machines!"
In an instant, the entire workshop burst into joy, and Wang Ye also began to applaud. In fact, Wang Ye was not surprised by this result, because Wang Ye had already handled the parts just now, and the entire assembly process was also done by Wang Ye. Staring.
Successful ignition is not an accident, but inevitable!
But what comes next is the key to this engine. Then Wang Ye coughed lightly, and when everyone quieted down, with the roar of the engine, Wang Ye continued:
"Next, the manpower is divided into three batches."
"The first batch of people continue to assemble the engine."
"The second batch of manpower is preparing for the start-up of the engine production line and worker training."
"The third batch of people will guard this engine in shifts for me. They will run it day and night. Let me run it for ten days first. I need to conduct a durability test first!"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, a half-baked engineer at the scene said hesitantly:
"Director, even if we need to conduct a durability test."
"It doesn't take so long, right?"
Regarding his statement, under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye waved his hands and explained with a smile:
“Our products, once they leave this factory, are our face.”
"We must use the most stringent standards for our products so that our products can gain us face in the market."
“This is not just the engine, but also other products in the future.”
"Although our stipulated inspection time is only twenty hours and minor maintenance is only one hundred hours, this is just in case, and we must leave enough margin for this."
"Do you understand? The same is true for the other test projects that will follow. They must be violent! They must be strict!"
Seeing Wang Ye's serious expression, everyone suddenly shouted in unison:
"yes!"
Then Wang Ye led everyone to engage in the follow-up engine testing work. Wang Ye was not going to go back to his office anyway. What if the female director blocked the door again?
at the same time.
Yanjing, a military base in the suburbs.
In the dusk and sunset, I saw a fleet of seven or eight jeeps and cars, rumbling into the gate.
"I said, Lao Zhou, you really have had enough!"
"You weren't like this in the past. Why do you like to show off now?"
"You didn't say anything, you just let our base pick up a batch of goods, and you didn't even let me open it to take a look. Now you drag me straight out of the city. What are you going to do?"
In the car, an old man in military uniform couldn't help but laugh and curse. Sitting next to him was the round-faced and kind-looking old man from the Fifth Machinery Department.
"I see you are very worried, Old Wei. Can't I take you out to relax?"
"Concentration! Can you have some concentration!"
Hearing what the round-faced and kind old man said, the old man in military uniform said dumbfounded:
"Concentration? Where do I get concentration?"
"I still have a lot of work at hand to finish! I'm almost dying of anxiety! You are not the only one who is worried about the reform of third-tier factories. What will the factories under my control do next year?"
"The higher-ups didn't give much money to begin with, and now they're even reducing it. I don't think I can survive this life!"
As the two people were talking, the convoy soon stopped in the open space. After everyone got off the car, they found that a dusty Jiefang truck was parked in the middle of the open space. Several middle-aged people in casual clothes had already been disembarked. With his gun drawn, he sat and smoked dozens of meters away under the gaze of the gun-wielding guards. In front of them was a pile of closed and unopened crates, with Director Liang's orderlies sitting on them.
"Hello, Chief!"
Seeing the gray-haired people coming over, the orderly said this after holding back for a long time.
Seeing this scene, the round-faced and kind old man waved his hand and said to the guard next to him:
"What does it look like? Take these comrades down to rest."
"Isn't it just that I don't want you to check? I'm not an enemy, so why are you still guarding me?"
Hearing what the round-faced old man said, the guards and officers looked at the old man in military uniform. The old man in military uniform nodded in agreement, and then these people were taken away from the scene.
"What's inside?"
The old man in military uniform walked over and looked at the crate, then turned to the kind old man and asked. The kind old man smiled and said:
"Find a few soldiers and pry it open and you'll find out!"
"When the time comes, you will definitely shout that this trip is worth it!"
Hearing what the kind old man said, the old man in military uniform waved his hand, and the guards who had been eager to try rushed forward and opened five or six crates with a few clicks of a crowbar.
When the soldier lifted the lid of the crate, the old man in military uniform froze on the spot!
Inside the crates were all dark firearms, but the shapes and sizes of these firearms were obviously very different from the familiar ones in his memory. The most prominent one was the caliber!
The muzzle the size of a ping pong ball is simply scary to death!
"I said, Zhou Jinlie, what is this?"
"Where did you get it?"
The next second, the old man in military uniform came back to his senses. He turned to look at the kind old man and asked. The kind old man looked at the things in the box and said with a red smile:
"This is special firefighting equipment."
"This is a revolver fire bomb launcher, this is a high-speed fire bomb launcher, and this is a long-range fire bomb launcher."
"However, I prefer to call them grenade launchers, grenade machine guns, and grenade sniper rifles!"
"Where did it come from?"
Before the amiable old man finished speaking, the old man in military uniform showed an expression of sudden realization on his face, and said in surprise:
"Red Star Machinery Factory? Wang Ye did it?"
