Zhang Yunfeng chuckled and continued speaking in French, "Thank you for your praise, President. French is a profound and profound language, an incomparably wonderful language. I think I need to continue working hard."
Hollande praised Zhang Yunfeng because he wanted to flip the pages, but he did not expect Zhang Yunfeng to start again. He suddenly felt that it was a huge headache. He also knew that Zhang Yidao was not an ordinary person that was difficult to deal with. He must have already known the true purpose of this trip, which was why he didn't dare to accept his kindness. If you are polite to him, he will be a hundred times more polite to you. If this continues, it will be hard to negotiate the deal!
In the following welcoming ceremony, Hollande was thinking about what kind of method he should use in front of the media. To get Zhang Yunfeng involved step by step, and what kind of language and methods he should use. Only then would he be able to dig a bottomless pit and make Zhang Yunfeng fall into it, never to come out again. After thinking about it, Hollande had a rough idea in his mind.
After the welcoming ceremony ended, Zhang Yunfeng acted as the tour guide and led the group into the Dongchen Aerospace Engineering production line to inspect. First, he visited the Dongchen Aerospace Engineering production line, then he visited the imported production line that had just been put into production. On all the production lines, the highly automated production made Hollande amazed. He kept praising Dong Chen for his high technological strength, and Zhang Yunfeng also flattered him back. He praised some French companies, such as Alston's outstanding strength in the field of rail transport.
The media of the two countries also found the strange part of the conversation between Zhang Yunfeng and Hollande, but Hollande always praised Dong Chen. Zhang Yunfeng would immediately find a French company to praise him back. There would never be a situation where he would accept Hollande's praise calmly. Both parties used half an hour to return the favor, which made Hollande feel rather stifled in his heart. He thought in his heart, Now is not the time to be the most mature. He needed to wait patiently.
After visiting several of Dong Chen's engine production lines, Hollande could not help but ask Zhang Yunfeng in front of the media. He said, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that Dong Chen has already started to manufacture the aircraft engine that is under great reasoning. And he has already entered the experimental stage on the ground. Is that so? "
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said, "That's right, Sir President, a few new engines are currently in the ground testing phase."
Hollande said with a surprised look, "Then, Mr. Zhang, I wonder if we have the honor of visiting the laboratory?"
Zhang Yunfeng knew he could not avoid it, so he agreed readily and said, "Of course, please follow me."
The performance parameters of the engine designed and manufactured by the waiter had already been finalized in the design stage. There wouldn't be any deviation in the actual testing of the production line, but because it had to be done in a necessary manner, therefore, many engines were being tested in the laboratory, including the duration of operations, thrust and fuel consumption, mechanical stability, simulating bird strikes, and a series of other experiments. In order to save time, most engines of the same model were conducted in different laboratories for different experiments. Zhang Yunfeng brought Hollande and the others to take a look at the continuous running experiments. At this time, the three engines in the laboratory were all displayed on the large display board, indicating that the three engines had been operating for 68 hours.
Zhang Yunfeng said through the thick special glass window, "Mr. President, this experiment is completely sealed off and no one is conducting it. The environment inside is very bad, requiring simulating the environment of the engines running high up in the sky. This includes temperature, air pressure, and airflow, so we can only take a look outside "
Hollande nodded and could not help but exclaim, "It has been running for more than 60 hours. Dong Chen's engine is indeed very durable!"
Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "You flatter me. We are only trying to provide better products for global commercial users."
Hollande smiled and said thoughtfully, "Dong Chen's sense of responsibility is a model that all companies in the world should learn."
Zhang Yunfeng thought, Why is this guy speaking like a Porcelain people, but he still has to follow his words. Hollande looked through the glass for a while. In the large sealed laboratory. Other than the three engines that were running at full speed, there was nothing else. He was also very interested in them. He said, "Mr. Zhang, let's go to the next laboratory."
Zhang Yunfeng agreed and brought everyone to the Simulated Bird Strike laboratory. In this laboratory, the main test aircraft was taking off and landing at a low altitude. The damage caused by the engine being sucked into a bird was always the biggest threat during the flight and landing process. Small birds were fine. However, once it meets a large flock of birds, birds and planes are unable to dodge under such circumstances, the powerful suction force from the engine of the plane... Even humans could be sucked in, not to mention birds... Once a large bird or even a large number of large birds were sucked into the engine, not only would it cause damage to the engine itself, but it would also cause damage to the engine itself. The most terrifying thing was that the engine could be turned off in the air at any time.
The most famous time an airplane was hit by a bird was on American Airlines Flight 1549 in 2009. An A320 passenger plane was hit by a dense flock of birds in less than a minute after it took off. As soon as the plane took off, the two engines stopped working. Finally, the pilot, Chessley, used his superb piloting skills. That was why the aircraft that had lost its power successfully landed on the Hudson River.
From this, it could be seen how important the engine's anti-bird performance was. And Dong Chen's entire series of engines used his own advanced technology and special materials. The ability to resist bird strikes was much stronger than ordinary engines because of Hollande's arrival. Zhang Yunfeng arranged for the technician to conduct a complete bird strike experiment.
Dong Chen's bird strike laboratory was a forty meter long half sealed room. The engine was fixed thirty meters away. The end of the room was a special air current exit, and it was directly facing the other end of the room. There was a Air Pressure Launcher. This Air Pressure Launcher allowed objects to shoot experimental birds and poultry according to different pressures. It simulated the situation when birds of different sizes and weight collided with aircraft at different relative speeds.
Under normal engines, at a relative speed of 300 kilometers per hour, a two-kilogram bird basically wouldn't have much impact on the engine. Although the turbine leaf would be damaged due to the collision, the engine could still work until it landed. It could be repaired after it landed. As for Dong Chen's engine... It had a stronger ability to resist bird attacks than ordinary engines.
Dong Chen used the standard to simulate encountering a flock of birds. He used six frozen white geese that were filled with food and weighed seven kilograms in a row. They were accelerated to a speed of 500 kilometers and hit the engine continuously within three seconds. Under such high-intensity collisions, almost no engine was spared. Stopping the car was a small matter, but internal explosions and combustion were the most important. However, Dong Chen's engine could easily withstand such concentrated and powerful collisions, and it would only cause slight damage to the turbine fan.
Hollande was greatly surprised by Dong Chen's test standards. He blurted out, "Is Dong Chen's engine really able to withstand such a concentrated impact?"
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and pointed to the big screen on the test console and said, "It shows the status, speed, and actual thrust of the engine in real time. It shows the standard time of our test. After such a high density collision, the actual thrust of the engine cannot be reduced by more than 20%. In other words, even the two engines suffered such a degree of impact. The engine can still provide enough power for the plane to continue flying. "
Zhang Yunfeng continued, "I don't know if you know anything about the working state of the engine, but most of the engines. The maximum power is for taking off. When the plane takes off, ___ said. The engine is fully powered. Once the plane leaves the ground, the plane will have enough power to rise. Except for the fighter planes that occasionally used full power climbing, all the civil airplanes would take off after taking off. The small throttle would climb up, and the throttle would be even smaller when it reached a fixed altitude. Therefore, once the aircraft took off, there would be a huge amount of force left in the aircraft's engine. Even if there was a 30% loss after hitting the bird, the engine power could still ensure that the plane climbed to a sufficient height, cruised, and finally landed. Therefore, using Dong Chen's plane, even if it hit the bird, there was no need to prepare for landing. We can continue the rest of the flight."
Hollande exclaimed and said, "If that's the case, then I'm afraid that the standard of civil flight will have to be changed because of the Dongchen Engine! Right now, the requirement for international civil aviation is to prepare for an emergency landing after hitting a bird, right? "
Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the President still did his homework. That's right. Although civil aviation has set the standard, after the advancement in technology, the standard of civil aviation naturally needs to be changed. If Dong Chen's engine is covered in a large amount, then... We will ask the Civil Aviation Administration to change the standard."
Zhang Yunfeng said, "Why don't we take a look at this experiment on the spot? I think you will have a clearer understanding of the experiment after seeing the whole experiment."
Hollande quickly nodded. The experimenters also began to fill the six air pressure launchers with frozen white goose for the experiment. The engine was also started and soon reached the full power state. After this would die, the air pressure launcher had already accumulated enough air pressure. As the experimenter pressed the launch button, six air pressure tubes were fired at the engine 30 meters away at a 0.5 second interval and 500 kilometers per hour. Launching six white geese only took a total of 2.5 seconds.
The engine continuously made loud noises, but due to the huge size of the turbine fan and the high density of the fan blades, it was like a super meat grinder, sucking in any animal. It would also be minced into meat paste by the high-speed spinning turbine fan in the shortest amount of time. Therefore, the visual effect of this collision was very short. After the loud noise, the six white geese all disappeared, but one could vaguely see the color of the engine fan turning red.
And at this time, on the display readings, the power of the engine had only dropped by 15%. For any aircraft that had taken off or was about to land, the maximum power was less than 85%. Therefore, this standard was absolutely safe, which meant that... Even after suffering such a heavy blow from the bird, the aircraft can still easily complete the entire flight. They only needed to replace the damaged fan blades after landing.
Hollande watched with his mouth agape. He deeply felt that there was no more Dong Chen on the plane. How tragic the outcome would be. He was even more determined to come to China this time. He had to open up a breakthrough point for the flight attendant on Dong Chen.
The engine gradually stopped and the engine stopped. Hollande who was at the side was full of praise for the results of the experiment. He blurted out, "Mr. Zhang, I really admire the research and manufacturing ability of the Dongchen Aerospace Engineering!"
Zhang Yunfeng smiled faintly and said humbly, "You flatter me."
Hollande shook his head and said, "I'm not exaggerating at all. The Dongchen Aerospace Engineering is indeed too great. If Europe had the opportunity to use this kind of engine, it would definitely be a great blessing to Europe!"
Zhang Yunfeng said in his heart! If he did not change the topic at this time, Hollande was afraid that Hollande would take the opportunity to mention the collaboration between Dong Chen and the passengers. The products of the Dongchen Aerospace Engineering were not strategic or national defense products. The country did not interfere with the export of the Dongchen Aerospace Engineering engine. If Hollande, as the president of a country, personally proposed the cooperation between the passengers and Dong Chen in front of the media, Zhang Yunfeng would definitely be pushed to the point where he could not get off the stage. The whole world knew that Zhang Yunfeng had the intention to cooperate with Boeing to squeeze the passengers to death. But Zhang Yunfeng absolutely could not show this attitude in public. If the president of a country made a request, if he refused, it meant that he did not care about Europe and the airman. It would even be equivalent to announcing to the whole world that Dong Chen wanted to kill the aircrafts. There was nothing else.
Hollande also felt that the time had come. He was waiting for Zhang Yunfeng to express his stance to him. Even if it was just a nod, Hollande would blurt out his next sentence, "Since you agree with Mr. Zhang, in my opinion, if Dong Chen and the passengers in Europe can work together, then... It would definitely be a great thing for Europe. I personally hope that this wish can be fulfilled. I wonder if Mr. Zhang can agree to my request?"
Just when Hollande felt that he had pushed Zhang Yunfeng into a desperate situation, Zhang Yunfeng didn't express his stance on Hollande's last sentence. Instead, he asked, "Mr. President, if Dong Chen's engine can be loaded onto the European Civil aviation aircraft... The most beneficial would be the European Airlines. And... The people who use the airways to travel should be the ones who benefit the most, right?"
Hollande did not expect Zhang Yunfeng to ask such an obvious question. He nodded and said, "Of course! With low cost and high safety, the people and airlines will benefit the most."
Zhang Yunfeng was overjoyed. Good, Hollande, you are on my pirate ship this time!
Zhang Yunfeng struck while the iron was hot and continued," Dong Chen's productivity has always been low because all the airlines in the world are eager to change into Dongchen Engine. No matter how high our production capacity is, there are twenty to thirty thousand civilian airplanes and cargo planes in the world. It still needs a long period of time, and this has always been Dong Chen's biggest headache. However, you are the first foreign head of state to come to Dong Chen for inspection. Since that's the case, I have to express a little to repay your kindness to Dong Chen!"
Hollande was also very happy in his heart. Could it be that his arrival and politeness had touched Zhang Yidao? Could it be that he wanted to take the initiative to bring up the matter of cooperation?
Just as Hollande was very excited, Zhang Yunfeng opened his mouth and said, "I have decided to list France as the second country to receive the Dongchen Engine and change clothes after America. We will contact the French Civil Aviation Bureau and the major airlines. Next, the production capacity that I can squeeze out... There are only close to 20 each day, and I am willing to give 10 of them to France. In other words, very soon, France will have five double passenger planes to change into Dongchen engines every day! This is the maximum that Dong Chen can do. Logically speaking, the French market is in our order, and we only want the ones at the back. It should be ranked 1520. Since you are so concerned about the interests of the French people... We are willing to raise the ranking of France to second!"
Hollande was very excited when he heard that. After thinking about it again, he felt as if his courage had been broken and he was very angry.
Zhang Yunfeng had given him face in front of the media all over the world, and he had tried his best to say that ten channels a day was the limit for Dong Chen. It was equivalent to Dong Chen doing his best to prioritize the welfare of the French people, but what about the passengers?
When Zhang Yunfeng said that this was the biggest limit of Dong Chen, Hollande faced a difficult choice. Should he agree with Zhang Yunfeng's decision, or should he give advice and transfer the portion of the ten engines per day to the passengers? If he chose the former, then the passengers would have no chance, but the latter. How could he say this in front of the media? Giving the share to the airman and not to the French Airlines, this meant that... The French planes could not be changed. If the airlines wanted to use the Dongchen engine as soon as possible, the only way was to buy a new plane from the passengers. Which airlines had so much spare money to change or buy a new plane in large quantities? Moreover, the airlines were aimed at the global market, not a single French market. If ten engines were given to France Airlines every day, then the cost of five French airplanes would drop every day. If the aircrafts were given to the aircrafts, based on the current demand of one to two hundred new planes per year in France, they could only get one every two days.
If he chose the latter and begged Zhang Yunfeng to transfer the share to the passengers, doesn't that mean you hit yourself in the face? Zhang Yunfeng had been saying that he cared about the interests of the French people and that he had thrown the interests of the French people aside. How would the French people and the whole world view him if he were to seek benefits for the aircrafts? A politician with a different expression and a different heart! Furthermore, the passengers were from Europe, not France itself. The French people will not appreciate their affection!
Hollande was extremely furious in his heart! Zhang Yidao, Zhang Yidao, you dug this hole too quickly! I thought that I had just thrown a hole at you and was waiting for you to fall into it. But I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I would fall into the hole you dug! What a f * cking thief!
