"Oh, it's a pity that the navy won't let me go out. Otherwise, I will make the French cry in front of me." Qin Tao sighed: "Send a few experts from our Tianjiao Airlines over there, by the way.

Make a video call with me in advance and I’ll teach them how to say it.”

The 40-megawatt gas turbine is a product of Tianjiao Aviation. Although the quantity is not large, the profit is pretty good. There are experts from Lao Maozi and experts from the East. Among them, Lao Maozi's experts are mainly responsible for the mechanical part and all the electronic control parts.

It's all done by oriental experts. After all, Lao Maozi is not familiar with these things.

Engineer Ai Song is one of the best. He is only in his thirties, but he has been working in this field for more than ten years. When watching the video, Qin Tao saw Ai Song's white hair and felt really distressed.

Our young designers in China are working so hard!

Ai Song was very excited to listen to Qin Tao's instructions. After listening, his eyes were full of excitement. After accepting the task, he quickly embarked on a trip to France.

The Bust Shipyard was busy. After the last incident, the workers' demonstrations were less vigorous. They worked seriously and were very efficient. The two Mistral-class amphibious assault ships were built in modular sections.

With the previous experience, we quickly completed the construction of the hull and prepared for launch and outfitting.

On the slipway, they hoisted the engine in and installed the main engine before launching into the water, which would greatly reduce the outfitting workload. It is also essential to start and debug once.

Duquesne stood on the slipway and looked at the two warships that had completed their main bodies and were just waiting to be launched into the water. He was very satisfied. As long as they were launched into the water, he would be able to ask customers for the final payment! Although this project has experienced twists and turns, it still made money in the end.

The money has arrived!

The shipyard has also survived, and with the successful construction of these two warships, more orders may be received in the future.

"Damn it, Oriental's gas turbine is actually controlled by a computer. It's really outrageous to have to enter a password before starting it for the first time!" Lucas complained at the side.

"Computer control is also normal. Computer technology in the East is also very advanced. It is said that this kind of gas turbine is very fuel-efficient. The key is that the power output is sufficient, forty megawatts, which is enough to make this kind of warship run wildly. Have you heard of it? Britain

Our 40-megawatt gas turbine encountered some accidents during the development process, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to troubleshoot."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, their warship construction also had an accident. Let's get back to work together."

"I heard that they are facing huge financial pressure. Many people think that it is foolish to spend huge sums of money to build two aircraft carriers. One is enough. It is more appropriate to save the money to purchase carrier-based aircraft."

"Yes, even if their aircraft carrier is built, they still don't have suitable carrier-based aircraft. Hum, they might as well change it to a catapult aircraft carrier and use our Rafale fighter jets."

While the two were talking, a car drove into the shipyard and parked next to the slipway.

"Mr. Captain, guests from the East are here!"

coming?

Duquesne and Lucas came forward with smiles: "Gentlemen, welcome to the Brest Shipyard! We have built two warships and need to start the engine test. You..."

"Why two warships?" Ai Song's expression changed: "Aren't the two gas turbines we sold you used on the second ship of your Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, the Richelieu?"

Richelieu? Has this ever happened?

Duquesne has been so busy recently that he had long forgotten about this matter. Lucas on the side remembered something, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Everyone, it can be used on the Richelieu or on an amphibious assault ship like ours. Is there any difference?"

"Sorry, the task we received was to start the gas turbine for the Richelieu, not for this amphibious assault ship. You did not act in accordance with the contract and misappropriated the gas turbine. We refused to start the machine."

What?

Duquesne was dumbfounded: "You can't do this!"

"We are just following the contract."

"Our contract is to purchase two engines, and we paid the full price. Now, you don't provide us with starting services. We are going to the international court to sue you!"

"The contract is not that simple. In the third paragraph of Article 3 of the contract, it is clearly stated that these two engines are used on the second ship of the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier. In the fifth paragraph of Article 8, it is also clearly stated that if

If you have diverted the use of this engine, then we have the right to refuse to start the engine for you."

Is it in the contract?

"Someone, bring me the contract!"

Duquesne looked through the contract and found the corresponding payment. At the same time, the conversation when purchasing from the East also echoed in his mind.

"Mr. Qin, if we want to purchase it, what is the price? For example, your 40-megawatt gas turbine?"

"It's not expensive. If you want to purchase one, it will cost US$200 million."

"I'm sorry, we are so expensive for the engines installed on Lao Maozi's amphibious assault ship..."

"Mr. Qin, what if it is for our aircraft carrier?"

"If it is an aircraft carrier procurement... one unit will cost 50 million US dollars, four units will cost 200 million US dollars..."

If it is to be assembled for this kind of amphibious assault ship, it will sell for 200 million US dollars. If it is to be assembled for an aircraft carrier, it will be sold for 50 million US dollars. Therefore, Duquesne was smart and purchased according to the needs of the aircraft carrier, and then cut it in half.

Just two units, costing 100 million US dollars.

When the contract was originally signed, there was indeed such a clause, but how did Duquesne know that the Orientals were so ruthless that the imported engine could not be started directly and had to enter a password!

What should we do now?

Dismantle it and purchase gas turbines from the UK? The British ones have not yet completed research and development!

Besides, there are not only engines, but also supporting generators? The generators provided by Dongfang are 30 million units each, with an inverter at the back, which can be integrated into the entire ship's power grid. If a British gas turbine is purchased, it can be connected with Dongfang

Is it matched with the generator?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Definitely not, there must be some pitfalls waiting for him!

All of this is a trap, one after another! It was a mistake from the beginning!

Duquesne has completely regretted it! He would rather not have these projects, so that he would not be in this situation. If they are forced to make up the difference to Dongfang, then they will have to pay again!

what to do?

Lucas on the side said coldly: "Do you think that just a small startup password can restrict us? The worst we can do is modify the engine's electronic control system and replace it with our own system. This kind of gas turbine can still

Started successfully!"

"The starting of our engine is driven by the electric motor at the back, which is integrated. Of course, you can install an additional starter, but if you modify it like this, the output power will not exceed 2

Ten megawatts." Ai Song said: "If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself. Moreover, as long as you modify it, the engine will lose all warranty conditions. If you want to increase the power, you have to

repurchase."

This is a large warship of more than 20,000 tons, and the contract is clearly written in black and white. The speed must reach 30 knots, and the total power of the power system is 60 megawatts! Their original diesel engine only has a power output of 20 megawatts. Once needed,

When accelerating, it relies entirely on the power of this gas turbine.

If the engine is not powerful, the speed will not be up to standard and they will not be able to deliver the ship. Moreover, there are relevant clauses in the contract. When the ship owner abandons the ship, they will have to compensate!

The startup of a gas turbine is actually very simple. An external power device drives the rotor of the gas turbine to rotate. When it reaches a certain speed, the combustion chamber begins to ignite, and the main fuel nozzle begins to supply oil. This forms a stable combustion flame, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas impacts the gas turbine.

, the gas turbine will continue to accelerate until it reaches normal operation.

In the past, gas turbines relied on an external starter. However, when transitioning to a generator set, it is no longer so complicated. The generator can also be used as an electric motor. As you can see from electric cars, when it is started normally

It is an electric motor. When you release the accelerator pedal or go downhill, the electric motor will become a generator. On the one hand, it slows down the car, and on the other hand, it converts the energy into electrical energy and passes it to the supercapacitor, and then releases it smoothly and stores it in the battery.

middle.

When this gas turbine was sold to the French, it did not come with a generator set. The customer later spent extra money to buy it. Now, Aisong said with certainty that the start-up of the gas turbine is driven by the generator at the back.

!This shows that the Orientals have already made these plans, and this is all a trap!

They will definitely not be able to figure out how to switch this Dongfang-made generator into an electric motor. If not, they may burn the generator. At that time, the loss will be even greater. They can only connect an external starter, which is enough.

When starting a gas turbine, we don’t know how much oil is injected into the combustion chamber of the gas turbine, what the fuel pressure is, how the intake air flow is coordinated, etc. These are all unknown. Therefore, if a 40-megawatt gas turbine is not controlled by Dongfang’s program,

Even if the French can start the machine, the output power will be greatly reduced.

At this time, after hearing Ai Song's words, both of them looked gloomy. What should they do now?

"How can you start the machine for us?" Duquesne asked.

"As long as the gas turbine is on the Richelieu aircraft carrier, we can start it, and it is completely free." Ai Song said: "If it is on other warships, there will be additional charges. If it is on the original and our Mingzhou

For the warships that the group competes with, the price of each unit must be increased from 50 million to 200 million according to the original agreement. If you make up the difference to us, we can start the machine for you."

"Two hundred million? This is impossible. This is simply a money grab! All this was arranged by your Mingzhou Group. You are going too far! You are the most reputable group in the world. We will report this matter to

Let everyone in the world know the ugly face of your Mingzhou Group!" Lucas couldn't help it.

It's all done by the Orientals to trick the French. It's too much, too much!

Lucas was very dissatisfied with this.

"Of course you can go to the whole world to promote it, and we can also promote it. At first you wanted to purchase engines from us and install them on warships that compete with us. We asked for 200 million. Later, you said you wanted to install them in Richelieu.

No. 1, now, our engines have appeared on the amphibious assault ship. Who broke the contract? Who did not respect business credibility? They originally signed a contract with Da Mao, but after paying the deposit, Da Mao increased the price! Later you fell into

It was our Mingzhou Group that helped coordinate the lawsuit and asked you to sell the warship. Who is it that deceived you again and again? "

Duquesne and Lucas both stopped talking.

Without Dongfang, they really would not be able to resolve the contract dispute with Damao. Now, if they publicize it, it is obvious that they themselves have ignored it. After all, the conditions proposed by Dongfang are reasonable and reasonable. The two parties are in a competitive relationship and the purchased engine

The price is very high, then I change the project, purchase it at a low price, and use it in the original project.

"My friend, don't worry yet." Ducaina finally said: "We need to coordinate with Mr. Qin. I hope Mr. Qin can take into account our difficulties."

Duquesne ran back to the office, opened ICQ, and started the video connection, but there was no response.

Where is Mr. Qin? What has Mr. Qin been doing?
