"Don't sigh, the time is coming soon." Looking at the watch on his wrist, the secretary on the side reminded him.

"Blame it on me. I'm older and talk too much. Let's go." The secretary's words made Mr. Pan a little embarrassed. If he hadn't wanted to stop and see the whole picture of the Southern Steam Turbine Factory, the convoy would have reached its destination by now.

.

"Set off!"

Jiang Lang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get on the bus.

The convoy of more than a dozen cars started slowly and soon entered the Southern Steam Turbine Factory and arrived in front of a row of office buildings.

"Just looking at the office buildings, this place is similar to a shipyard. The office buildings are all the same meter." Looking at the office building in front of him, Jiang Lang started joking.

"There is a joke in Mao Xiong, that is, the cities you come here, except for big cities like Moscow and Leningrad, are almost exactly the same.

You can even follow familiar roads to find your own home, but of course, this is definitely not your home, but someone else's home." said Mr. Pan, who studied in Maoxiong.

"This is not too exaggerated." Jiang Lang shook his head, expressing disbelief.

"It's not an exaggeration, it's the truth."

The driver was an uncle in his forties or nearly fifty who knew some Chinese. Hearing Jiang Lang and Mr. Pan talking about the city, he interrupted and said, "The reason for this is related to World War II.

Of course, many cities have become ruins, and we have restored the ruined cities in just a few years. In addition to having a great motherland and unified planning, it also has something to do with it.

Many cities are built according to a template, so it’s not surprising that they are the same.”

Although the furry bear has passed away.

But when it comes to this country, many old people still feel proud and proud.

While they were talking, many people came out of the office building, led by a gray-haired man, Mirnov, the head of the Southern Steam Turbine Factory.

Different from the fat old guy, this Comrade Mirnov is not tall, has eyes, and he is a technical talent at first glance, and he speaks in a gentle manner.

"Hello, Comrade Jiang Lang, I have been waiting for you for a long time. If Comrade Makarov hadn't called and said that you were already on your way, I would have sent someone to pick you up."

Seeing Jiang Lang, Mirnov stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically.

"I also wanted to come here earlier, but there were too many things going on at the shipyard and it was delayed." Jiang Lang laughed and said,

"Here, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Pan, a highly respected senior over there. He is very interested in your gas engines and came here specially to visit. If possible, order a few more units."

"Order a few more units, it will be a good feeling." Jiang Lang's words made Mirnov very happy, and he invited Jiang Lang and others into the building and came to the most confidential design room.

In the past, foreigners would never be allowed to enter this secret among secrets.

But now!

With the death of the bear, Ukraine fell, and the Southern Turbine Plant became an unwanted child.

It's different from those top secret units.

Southern Steam Turbine Factory only produces gas engines.

It's important, because this is the only place where Mao Xiong can produce gas engines. Whether Mao Xiong's warships can sail far depends on the support here, and the confidentiality level is five A.

But for eagle sauce.

I used to attach great importance to it, but after understanding its technical content, I simply threw it aside.

Because Eagle Sauce has the most advanced gas engine technology in the world.

Just like the LM2500 gas turbine introduced earlier.

This is the most successful and excellent naval gas turbine in the world. It is an aeroderivative gas turbine developed by General Electric Company in the 1960s based on the TF39 turbofan engine.

Since it was officially put into use in the early 1970s, not only the U.S. Navy, but also almost all surface battleships except aircraft carriers have adopted this aircraft, and it has also been widely exported to all over the world.

And what about Southern Steam Turbine Factory?

Not to mention its latest fourth-generation gas turbine, the UGT-25000, which is designed to compete with the LM2500 gas turbine, is still in the final debugging stage and has not been officially put into use.

Even when it is put into use, there is still a gap between it and the LM2500 gas turbine.

Such as volume.

General Motors' LM25000 has a total weight of only 23 tons and a length of only 8 meters.

The length of the Southern Steam Turbine Factory UGT25000 reaches 16 meters, and the weight has reached 26 tons without adding a box.

Such as thermal efficiency.

The thermal efficiency of General Motors' LM25000 is close to 39%, while the thermal efficiency of Southern Steam Turbine Factory's UGT25000 is only 37%, which is two points behind.

There is still time for overhaul.

The overhaul time of General Motors' LM25000 reaches 20,000 hours. The most typical example is that the mainland's 052B has been in service for more than 20 years and has never had an engine overhaul due to the shortage of embargoed parts. Its reliability is astonishingly high.

In comparison, the overhaul time of UGT25000 is almost 15,000 hours.

Of course, this gap is compared to the LM25000 of Eagle Sauce.

If placed in the mainland.

Not to mention the fourth-generation UGT25000, the third-generation GTD15000 from Southern Turbine Factory can also make mainlanders drool.

"Why do you still do your homework on paper?"

Entering the design room of Southern Steam Turbine Factory, Pan Lao and others were all stunned.

This is not because it is advanced, like the Yingjiang side, which adopts paperless office, but because it is backward.

Who would have thought that in the famous Southern Steam Turbine Factory design room, designers would actually use manual drawing.

This is not a fake, probably for Lao Pan and others to see.

Because this scene is really spectacular.

The design room looks like a factory workshop, with hundreds of desks arranged neatly like a school classroom.

Next to each table, there is a huge drawing board, and many people who look like engineers or assistants are drawing on it.

This situation is a bit like the early 1980s in China.

Just like the nuclear weapons battle back then.

To calculate detailed data.

The Academy of Science and Technology used a large number of computing talents to type out the calculation results using abacus.

This situation changed in the 1980s.

It is also stimulated.

At that time, I had a good relationship with Ying Jiang.

Even weapons such as F16 and F14 can be introduced, let alone computers.

In addition, the instructors sent by Yingjiang are all computer experts, so paper drawings have long been eliminated.

In order to adapt to the trend, the country has spent huge sums of money to introduce computer-aided design to major design institutes. Needless to say, work efficiency has improved instantly.

I just didn’t expect that Big Brother would still use such backward methods of work?

"We also want to introduce advanced computers to assist our work, but there is no way. In the past, Europe and the United States were too closed to us."

When Jiang Lang said that his side was lagging behind, Mirnov couldn't help but shake his head.

Not to mention being left behind by Yingjiang, after all, it was the most advanced country in the world at that time, and now my former juniors despise me.

You know, compared to the Mao Xiong side, the mainland is even more backward, not to mention the standard of living. Don't look at the fuss over the Mao Xiong side. In fact, they already have TVs and phones downstairs. The Mainland is still struggling for this.

Not to mention the military.

The military gap between the mainland and Maoxiong is at least twenty years, and the gap in engine convenience is even greater, especially in aviation engines and gas turbines for warships.

But being despised, Mirnov could not object.

Because he knew that because of the good relations between the Mainland and Beautiful Country in recent years, great progress had been made in many aspects, especially computers. Mirnov had heard that the large design institutes in the Mainland had introduced computer-aided systems from Beautiful Country.

"It was blocked before and there was nothing we could do about it. Now it's open. Why don't you think of a way to introduce it?" Jiang Lang continued to ask.

"In the past, we had money but no connections, but now we have connections but no money." Mirnov continued to sigh, "Our factory has had no orders for a long time. Not to mention the workers below, even the engineers in the design institute are living in poverty.

It was much more lively in the past than it is now, and at least half of the employees in the design institute went out to work to earn money to support their families."

"Comrade Mirnov, this difficulty is temporary. Aren't we here to give you business? As long as you can show sincerity, I will never be stingy with money."

If I hadn't known that you couldn't survive, I wouldn't have come to search your house.

After staying in Ukraine for a long time, Jiang Lang also knew how difficult these military factories were, and the Southern Steam Turbine Factory was the most bankrupt among them.

Gas turbines are mainly supplied to warships.

And with the current situation of Da Mao and Er Mao, they are worried about too many ships to handle. Don't think about building new ships within ten years. The hard days of Southern Steam Turbine Factory have only begun now, and they will be even more difficult in the future.

"Sincerity, I definitely have it. Come and take a look, this is the flagship product of our factory." Mirnov led everyone to the display area and pointed to a large machine.

"This is the GTD15000 gas turbine, which is the most advanced marine gas turbine in our factory. It was developed starting in 1971 and was successfully developed in 1984. It has been equipped on many warships including Sovremenny-class destroyers and Glorious-class cruisers.

It operates well and is loved by the crew. It is the best third-generation gas turbine in the world."

Strictly speaking.
