"Lockheed Martin?" Xu Cang did not shake Luo Ming's hand, but distanced himself from him in confusion: "Are you looking for me?"
Seeing Xu Cang's obvious vigilance, Luo Ming couldn't help but feel helpless: "Xu Cang, you don't have to be so wary of me. I'm just here to discuss cooperation, and I come with good intentions."
"Talk about cooperation? I'm a civil aviation pilot, and you want to talk to me about cooperation?" Xu Cangcai didn't believe Luo Ming's nonsense: "Lockheed has not been in the passenger aircraft business for a long time, what can we cooperate on? Or is the L1011 TriStar passenger aircraft not a deep enough memory for you, and you want to try the passenger aircraft business again?"
The L1011 TriStar is a three-engine large passenger aircraft developed by Lockheed more than twenty years ago. It is a "legendary" model that was extremely successful industrially but incredibly bad commercially, and was ruined by a five-dollar light bulb (does anyone know the light bulb joke?).
Perhaps the pain that the L1011 TriStar brought to the people of Lockheed Martin was too unforgettable, and when this model was mentioned, the expression on Luo Ming's face was quite interesting.
"Mr. Xu, let's not talk about our unpleasant things." Luo Ming coughed twice: "We at Lockheed Martin have no interest in restarting the passenger aircraft business..."
Before Luo Ming could finish his words, Xu Cang interrupted him: "What else is there to say? When will you military people come to me, who works in civil aviation?"
"We are all doing business and earning hard-earned money. What's wrong with cooperating?" Luo Ming said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you are very talented. Don't you think it's a pity to waste your time in a field like civil aviation that requires stability? Test flying, Mr. Xu, why don't you consider switching to test flying? We have a special test flying school. With Mr. Xu's talent, as long as he studies a little, he will be a top test pilot."
"Then let you try out the military aviation technology?" Xu Cang's face suddenly darkened: "Do you think I will agree to you?"
While Luo Ming was speaking, Richard, who was standing next to him, suddenly laughed: "You said we were meddling in other people's business, but it seems that you have reached out far enough to snatch people from our civil aviation!"
Facing the leader of the world's civil aviation pilots, Luo Ming still expressed enough respect: "Mr. Richard, there is no difference between military and civilian flying. Didn't the modern large turbofan passenger aircraft also evolve from military aircraft? Talents like Mr. Xu should be at the forefront of pioneering flight technology, rather than wasting their talents in civil aviation. For example, it was clearly Mr. Xu who saved the day in this volcanic ash incident, but for the sake of your so-called regulations, you actually have to conduct a cross-border investigation."
Luo Ming turned to Xu Cang and said, "Mr. Xu, test flight is your final destination. There, you can fully display your talents instead of being bound by all kinds of ridiculous rules. Mr. Xu, as long as you come to us, we will definitely offer you the most favorable conditions."
"Money? But I personally don't need much money."
"Mr. Xu, you are joking. It seems that you are not confident about our salary conditions?" Luo Ming said quickly: "If Mr. Xu is not confident, I..."
"No, I mean she's very rich, so I personally don't need that much money." Xu Cang pointed at Qin Xin beside him and said, "Also, she probably wouldn't agree to me doing something so dangerous. If I go, then she won't care about me afterwards."
"Ah? This is Mrs. Xu...?" Luo Ming was stunned. The information about Xu Cang that he received from the headquarters did not contain any information about Xu Cang's family.
In fact, Luo Ming didn't know Xu Cang. He was just a staff member of Lockheed Martin's Jakarta office. Not to mention knowing Xu Cang, he had never even heard of his name.
However, this morning the headquarters sent a fax requesting the recruitment of Xu Cang, and gave him great authority to offer sufficiently generous conditions depending on the circumstances. The first priority was to recruit Xu Cang into their own flight test department.
To be honest, Lockheed Martin's reputation is extremely loud all over the world. The world-famous F-22 Raptor was produced by Lockheed Martin. Xu Cang should have heard of it.
Originally, Luo Ming thought that this kind of recruitment would be quite simple. However, Xu Cang's performance was not only uninterested in Lockheed Martin, but even vaguely disgusted with it, which was something Luo Ming had not expected.
Qin Xin's face flushed, but she still said, "It's still too dangerous to test fly. I don't agree for him to go."
"Yes!" Xu Cang said with a smile: "Do you understand? Please go back!"
As he said that, Xu Cang grabbed Qin Xin and was about to leave. Whether it was Richard or Luo Ming from Lockheed Martin, he didn't want to see either of them.
However, before Xu Cang took two steps, Richard said, "Xu Cang, don't you need me to help you settle the CAA matter?"
Xu Cang stopped and turned around, his face very serious. He raised a finger: "First, CAA is applying for the right to investigate, not having obtained it. Second, I don't think CAAC will authorize CAA to investigate me. Third, and most importantly, even if CAA rules that I am flying improperly, so what? Does CAA want to enforce the law across borders?"
"It seems that you have great confidence in your country's Civil Aviation Administration!" Richard said with a smile.
"Let's not talk about anything else. We at CAAC will never do such a thing as handing me over to CAA for investigation."
After saying that, Xu Cang pretended to leave again!
However, as the dull sound of leather shoes hitting the ground rang out, three white men in suits and leather shoes filed in. The leader spoke fluent Chinese to Xu Cang, "Mr. Xu, are you being too confident?"
Xu Cang's eyes quickly focused on the ID card on the chest of the leading man, which clearly had the words CAA on it. Unexpectedly, the British Aviation Authority came so quickly. At the same time, two dark-skinned men followed behind the British Aviation Authority. They also wore some work ID cards. Judging from their posture, they were probably the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority DGCA.
My goodness, the British Aviation Authority and the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority have come together, they are quite powerful.
"CAA rushed here overnight, and I am really proud of it." Xu Cang never has a good face towards people who make people feel uncomfortable when they talk.
The representative of the British Aviation Authority walked up to Xu Cang, looked him over carefully, and finally smiled: "I heard Jonathan talk about the situation on the way. He used reverse thrust in the air and calculated the glide path in his mind. Mr. Xu, I don't know how good your skills are, but your courage is really the best I have ever seen in my life."
"I don't deserve it. In terms of courage, I think your CAA is more powerful. The people who dare to investigate CAAC are much bigger than me." Xu Cang retorted: "Is there something wrong? Do you need me to repeat the process of the incident to you?"
At this time, the representative of the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority also came to Xu Cang. The man spoke with an accent that sounded a bit like that of southern Fujian. "Mr. Xu, this is a serious matter. I hope you won't resist. If it's convenient, I need your passport."
When Qin Xin said this, his face changed. He was going to detain Xu Cangxian here.
However, Xu Cang raised his eyebrows: "Are you not letting me return to China?"
"No, don't misunderstand, Mr. Xu, we just want to conduct a detailed investigation." The representative of the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority said politely.
"But why don't I feel that way?"
The representative of the British Aviation Authority laughed and said, "That means Mr. Xu also has doubts about his previous behavior. Then I have to explain the matter more clearly."
Hearing this, Luo Ming was a little confused. Why did it seem as if Xu Cang was in trouble with the British Aviation Administration? As for the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority, Luo Ming simply ignored it.
Qin Xin grabbed Xu Cang's arm, a slightly worried look on her face.
At this moment, Richard still looked calm and composed: "Xu Cang, let me say it again, do you need my help? I can help you settle everything."
Richard's words were extremely arrogant. He said in front of the representative of the British Aviation Authority that he could settle the matter for Xu Cang, showing that he did not take his own Civil Aviation Administration seriously at all.
The representative of the British Aviation Administration obviously knew Richard, but there was a hint of displeasure on his face: "Richard, don't worry about this."
"No, no, no, I am very optimistic about him. Whether I intervene or not depends on whether he allows me to do so." Facing the warning from the representative of his own Civil Aviation Administration, Richard was not afraid at all. His attitude only depended on Xu Cang.
However, Xu Cang laughed: "I don't think there is anything that needs to be explained. I saved a whole plane of people, but now you want to accuse me. This is the logic of your CAA. It is indeed a bandit logic."
"You were lucky!" When the representative of the British Aviation Administration mentioned this, he suddenly shouted, his face instantly turned cold: "Reverse thrust in the air is clearly prohibited. Don't you know what happened to the Lauda 004 crash? And you believed in your so-called mental calculation of the glide path and ignored the terrain warnings. When you were studying in the aviation school, didn't your instructor teach you to trust the instruments instead of your subjective feelings?"
"So, did the plane disintegrate or crash into the ground?" Xu Cang countered: "Any large passenger aircraft will include reverse thrust in the air during the verification test phase. Reverse thrust in the air is prohibited, not impossible!"
"Then you increased the thrust of the No. 2 engine even when the reverse thrust was on, which caused the engine to explode!" The representative of the British Aviation Administration questioned, "Don't you know how dangerous an engine explosion is?"
"But the volcanic ash is about to close up, and I will lose visual reference. I can only rely on the shock wave generated by the explosion to disperse the volcanic ash."
"So you can make an engine explode!?"
"That was a necessary loss for survival." Xu Cang narrowed his eyes. "Or do you think the casing containment test of the Rolls-Royce RB211 engine in your country was fake?"
The so-called casing containment test is an extremely important part of the engine ground test. Its main content is to ensure that after the engine explodes, the casing can confine the explosion to the engine and will not spread out.
It was because Xu Cang knew that the engine had this test that he was able to keep his concerns about artificially causing the engine to explode at a relatively low level.
Moreover, when talking about Rolls-Royce's RB211 engine, Xu Cang's eyes swept to the gate, and another person came in from outside. It was Song Xinyang, a senior executive of Rolls-Royce.
Last night, Song Xinyang said that he would come to talk to Xu Cang about something. I didn't expect him to come at this time. It was quite clever.
Perhaps it was because he heard Xu Cang mention his own RB211 engine, Song Xinyang's face looked a little strange. He did know the representative of his own Civil Aviation Administration, but he noticed that the atmosphere in the field seemed a little abnormal.
However, compared to meeting the representative of his own Civil Aviation Administration, Song Xinyang's expression when he saw Luo Ming was extremely wonderful.
Of course, this does not mean that there is any grudge between Song Xinyang and Luo Ming, but simply that there are some interesting pasts between Rolls-Royce and Lockheed Martin.
Back then, Rolls-Royce was just a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce. However, more than 20 years ago, Rolls-Royce's excessive investment in engine projects directly led to the company's bankruptcy and nationalization. During this process, Rolls-Royce separated its Rolls-Royce car brand from its own business segment. Eventually, the Rolls-Royce brand was acquired by BMW, and Rolls-Royce completely lost its own car brand of the same name.
The culprit that led to the break of Rolls-Royce's capital chain was Rolls-Royce's firm belief that the three-rotor technology was the best way to eliminate engine surge. The first engine to implement Rolls-Royce's three-rotor technology was the RB211 engine.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that RB211 or three-rotor technology is a wrong path. At least the main reason why Rolls-Royce can achieve such a scale today is due to its unique three-rotor technology. And RB211 has also gradually been accepted by the market in the later period.
However, at the beginning of the development of the RB211, its only buyer was Lockheed Martin, and its purpose was to be installed on the L1011 TriStar passenger aircraft.
That’s right, it’s the magical aircraft that directly ended Lockheed Martin’s idea of ​​​​passenger aircraft business.
Rolls-Royce and Lockheed Martin were both on the road to failure in the L1011 Samsung passenger aircraft. One company went bankrupt and was restructured and nationalized, while the other suffered a serious setback. After that, they were afraid of the rope and never dared to enter the passenger aircraft industry again.
It is precisely because of this ill-fated relationship that when employees of Rolls-Royce and Lockheed Martin meet, there is always some inexplicable awkwardness.
However, Song Xinyang's ability to adjust himself was quite good, and he quickly restrained some of his strange emotions.
"What happened?" Song Xinyang walked closer and saw Richard again. His face suddenly changed. There really were many big shots gathered here. Even the president of the World Federation of Airline Pilots Association came.
Xu Cang pointed at the representative of the British Aviation Authority in front of Song Xinyang: "The CAA people are questioning the casing containment test of your RB211 engine."
This made the representative of the British Aviation Administration look cold: "Mr. Xu, you clearly know that this is not what I meant."
"What does that mean? We were supposed to pull up and head east for eight hours to Honolulu?"
"Why not fly north to Bangkok? The volcanic ash spreads much slower to the northwest due to high-altitude winds," said a representative of the British Aviation Authority.
Xu Cang almost laughed out loud: "Going north, don't you know that going north will pass over the Kelud volcano? That is the core area of ​​volcanic ash. Do you mean to pass through the core area of ​​volcanic ash?"
The representative of the British Aviation Authority was stunned, and then his face became even colder, while Richard on the side had a playful look on his face, as if he was watching a show.
To be honest, it's really hard to imagine that these two people are from the same country.
"Let's not talk about the reverse thrust in the air. What do you mean by ignoring the terrain warning? You would rather trust the glide path you calculated in your mind than ignore the terrain warning?" The representative of the British Aviation Authority was aggressive again: "Pilots should use the instrument as the first reference standard. Don't you know this?"
In fact, the representative of the British Aviation Authority said this for a reason. It may not be obvious on civil airliners, but it is very prominent on military aircraft, especially fighter jets.
For example, after performing a large maneuver at sea, the pilot may not be able to distinguish between the sky and the sea, which is the so-called spatial disorientation, and may not know which is up or which is down.
At this time, the pilot must not trust his own feelings, but must trust the aircraft instruments unconditionally. This is because people will make some physiological problems in the three-dimensional movement of flying, while the instruments are relatively stable. Therefore, when learning to fly in aviation schools, many instructors will teach you to trust the instruments, even if the reaction of the instruments sometimes contradicts people's intuitive feelings.
"It's really a wasteland of civil aviation. They do things recklessly and there are no rules at all." The representative of the British Aviation Administration snorted coldly: "I really want to see what kind of person your aviation school instructor is."
"Why, you want to see me?" As the representative of the British Aviation Authority finished speaking, a deep and dull voice came from outside the door.
Xu Cang immediately looked up and saw Chen Xiangdong and Wu Yue, the director of the Flight Standards Department, coming side by side. Chen Xiangdong walked straight to the representative of the British Aviation Administration with a sullen face. When he approached, he said with a breath as strong as the sea: "I am Xu Cang's instructor at the Aviation School. Now you see it! What do you want to say?"
The representative of the British Aviation Administration frowned and looked at Chen Xiangdong and Wu Yue, and asked in confusion: "CAAC people?"
"Exactly!" Chen Xiangdong snorted, "I'm here, I'm listening to what you have to say!"
"This is an incident involving our British aircraft in Indonesian airspace. What does it have to do with CAAC?"
"My disciple just helped, but you interrogated him like a criminal. You said it has nothing to do with me?" Chen Xiangdong said dissatisfiedly, "At five o'clock this morning, we received an application for investigation rights. It's ridiculous. I just want to come and see what kind of person can be so shameless! Now it seems that he is not only shameless, but also likes to talk nonsense. It doesn't make sense."
"Humph! Ignoring the terrain warnings, they relied solely on their own subjective assumptions to draw the glide path. Is this the style of the pilots under your jurisdiction?"
At this point, Xu Cangdang laughed: "After all, you just don't believe that I can calculate a standard glide path, right?"
"Isn't it? Although there is a corresponding relationship between ground speed and descent rate, how can you rely on real-time mental calculation? Moreover, you have to distract yourself to adjust the descent rate." The representative of the British Aviation Administration expressed his disbelief at Xu Cang's mental calculation of the descent trajectory: "As for the situation where the loss of GPS signal leads to false terrain warnings, it does exist, but this is still a matter of probability. It does not mean that the loss of GPS signal will definitely lead to false terrain warnings. At least the possibility of false terrain warnings is much lower than the possibility of your miscalculation."
"No!" Xu Cang now seemed to be at ease: "It's like this for others, but for me, I can calculate a trajectory that is highly consistent with the standard decline. This is not luck, nor is it bravado, but strength. If I have enough energy, I can calculate it right a hundred times even if I do it a hundred times."
Yes, it is that certain!
The representative of the British Aviation Administration was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Are the people from you CAAC so ridiculous? You can calculate the glideslope in your mind. Do you think you are a computer?"
"How about a bet?" Xu Cang suppressed his smile and stepped forward to the representative of the British Aviation Administration. "Except for the 11th, 23rd and 41st seconds after the GPS signal was lost, which resulted in large deviations due to large air flow fluctuations, the vertical deviations of the remaining sections will not exceed ten feet. The peak values ​​of the three largest deviations are fifteen feet, twenty-seven feet and eighteen feet, and the error before and after the triggering time does not exceed 0.5 seconds."
"you……"
Not only the representative of the British Aviation Authority, but also the representative of the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority and others such as Luo Ming, Song Xinyang and Richard all changed their expressions suddenly.
According to Xu Cang, the descent trajectory he calculated mentally could be maintained within a ten-foot error for a long time, which was truly terrifying. Even in the rare cases where the deviation exceeded the limit, Xu Cang could accurately maintain the time and magnitude of the deviation, which was beyond the limit of human computing power.
"Xu Cang!" Even Chen Xiangdong was stunned for a moment after hearing Xu Cang's words. Soon, he reacted and shouted, "Xu Cang, stop talking."
In fact, even Chen Xiangdong didn't quite believe that Xu Cang could calculate so accurately. But Wu Yue beside Chen Xiangdong said in a deep voice: "Come with us, don't worry about them."
However, Xu Cang raised his head to stop Chen Xiangdong and Wu Yue from speaking, and stared at the representative of the British Aviation Administration with an almost provocative smile: "Don't you think that the decline in mental arithmetic is beyond human control? Why are you still hesitating? As long as the data in the final flight data recorder deviates from what I said, I will cooperate with your investigation and accept your possible punishment. But if there is no deviation, you need to publish an apology to me in the official publication of ICAO. I am very unhappy that you want to conduct a cross-border investigation into my behavior."
Qin Xin, who was watching from the side, didn't even recognize Xu Cang. Usually, Xu Cang, whom he saw, was like a big kid, but now he was as violent as fire, carrying an unparalleled momentum and trying to turn the tables.
But Richard's eyes lit up. Xu Cang's personality was exactly what he wanted.
"It turned out to be the right thing to do."
It can only be said that Xu Cang's method of calculating the glide path in Jakarta and using reverse thrust in the air to clear the volcanic ash was truly unprecedented. Except for someone like Xu Cang, it is estimated that civil aviation will not have such a fantastic idea even if it develops for another 20 years.
And it seems that it is not just him, many people in the world have become interested in Xu Cang. At least, Lockheed Martin's actions were very fast, so fast that Richard felt incredible.
The only explanation is that Lockheed Martin had noticed Xu Cang a long time ago, but Xu Cang's performance last night became the final factor.
Yes, who wouldn’t be moved after seeing Xu Cang’s performance last night?
This is the perfect test pilot embryo!
"Publish an apology in the official publication of ICAO?" The representative of the British Aviation Authority was really shocked by Xu Cang's arrogance. He actually dared to bet on such a thing.
Ten feet of deviation! Even if the autopilot follows the guidance of the blind landing signal, it may not be able to fly out of the error range of ten feet, not to mention that in the absence of guidance, people have to calculate the glide path mentally and adjust it at the same time!
Intellectually, the representative of the British Aviation Authority did not believe it. But seeing Xu Cang's confident look, he couldn't help but feel guilty. Could anyone really do it?
However, Xu Cang was extremely cruel and asked the British Aviation Administration to publish an apology in the official publication of ICAO. If it really did so, it would make the British Aviation Administration lose face. You know, the official publication of ICAO is subscribed by all member states.
Of course, if Xu Cang loses the bet, it means that he is willing to accept the subsequent investigation by the British Aviation Administration and accept any punishment measures. For him personally, the pressure is actually quite great.
"This guy really doesn't leave himself any way out!" The representative of the British Aviation Authority was in a dilemma at the moment. He really wanted to agree, especially after seeing Chen Xiangdong's attitude.
But what if, what if Xu Cang is the guy who is beyond ordinary people?
"Xu Cang, stop fooling around! Come back with me!" Just as the representative of the British Aviation Administration was hesitating, Wu Yue finally said sternly: "If you are punished by a foreign civil aviation authority, it will be a loss of face for CAAC. Do you think you are just a human being and can do whatever you want?"
Wu Yue is a relatively stable person and doesn't want to get involved in such emotional disputes.
Xu Cang smiled: "Director Wu, I know! But don't worry, I won't lose, absolutely not!"
The representative of the British Aviation Administration was originally planning to use Wu Yue's words as a way out, but this sentence directly aroused his anger, and he shouted: "Okay, let's do it! I don't believe that there is really someone who can mentally calculate the glide path with an error of less than ten feet."
Ten feet equals three meters! What does this mean? For a large passenger aircraft, even a slight shake of the hand on the steering wheel can cause a pitch change far exceeding ten feet, not to mention the effect of airflow!
He didn't believe, absolutely didn't believe that someone could calculate and distract himself to find a glide path with a deviation of less than ten feet. If there really was such a genius, then CAA would accept the loss of face.
"You agreed to it?" Richard said with a smile, "Don't you know that he once calculated an approach procedure in his head back home?"
"Of course I know!" The representative of the British Aviation Administration snorted, "The S2 switch, right? But in fact, if it weren't for the light guidance of a plane that ran into the runway in his last leg, he would not have been able to land accurately on the runway. I don't think he is really as powerful as the rumors say."
Hearing this, Xu Cang slightly raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the representative of the British Aviation Administration had specifically inquired about him. At least he was right in one point. If Qin Xin's private plane had not entered the runway and turned on the landing lights to provide the final guidance for Xu Cang, Xu Cang might not have survived.
However, this does not mean that Xu Cang is a person who seeks fame and reputation!
"Okay, it's a deal then!" Xu Cang said with a smile, "With so many prominent people around here as witnesses, I still trust the credibility of CAA."
Whether it is the president of the World Federation of Airline Pilots Association, a representative of Lockheed Martin, or an executive of Rolls-Royce, they are all top figures in the world aviation market. If CAA goes back on its word, it would be a complete loss of face.
However, just as Xu Cang finished speaking, Chen Xiangdong suddenly shouted, "What's good about that?"
"Master?" Xu Cang was stunned, thinking that Chen Xiangdong was going to object, and was about to say something.
However, Chen Xiangdong snorted coldly: "Since it is a bet, then for the sake of fairness, the flight data recorder of Flight 1009 cannot be given to you British Aviation Administration. What if you play tricks on me?"
When the representative of the British Aviation Authority heard this, he immediately became furious: "How could we possibly do such a despicable thing?"
"It's hard to say!" Chen Xiangdong sneered, "I think we should leave it to ICAO to interpret it, so that both sides can be convinced."
If the International Civil Aviation Organization acts as the referee, it would indeed be the most fair.
"It's up to you!" The representative of the British Aviation Authority finally accepted the plan.
Soon, the two sides finalized some details and parted unhappily.
The people from the British Aviation Authority and the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority left first, and then Richard also walked away slowly. He looked very proud and seemed quite happy.
As for Luo Ming, who was left, he was obviously unwilling to give up, but Xu Cang was so determined that he didn't know whether to leave or stay. Song Xinyang, on the other hand, had a clear goal, and Xu Cang also planned to have a good talk with Song Xinyang. After all, the three-rotor technology was too tempting for Xu Cang.
After talking to his master Chen Xiangdong, Xu Cang went to the coffee shop in the corner of the hall with Song Xinyang to chat. In fact, when things developed to this point, or when Song Xinyang said he wanted to talk to Xu Cang again, everything was clear.
"The headquarters has agreed to your request! Three times. As long as you participate in three actual machine tests, we can meet your conditions." When saying this, the muscles on Song Xinyang's face were twisted, and he looked particularly distressed: "Olympus 593Mk610 engine , CTi fan technology and three-rotor technology!"
Xu Cang smiled and said, "This is great! This is perfect. Do you want to sign the contract?"
"Of course you have to sign the contract. But you have to wait until you finish the test of 777."
Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, then a bright smile spread across his face: "Are you afraid that I will die in the 777 test? Okay, then after the 777 test."
"We'll send you some testing information first."
"Yes." Xu Cang nodded: "However, I am still explaining my conditions in detail. The Olympus 593Mk610 engine naturally requires a full set of data, so I won't talk about that. I guess you haven't fully sorted out the CTi fan technology yet, so you just need to give me feedback on the relevant content regularly. However, I don't want the file data for the three-rotor technology. I will send three people to your side to learn, and you must teach them all the relevant technologies. When they have learned it, the condition of the three-rotor technology will be considered met."
"You want people to learn it?" Song Xinyang's eyes narrowed slowly, with a hint of cold light flashing from them: "Xu Cang, it seems that I still underestimated you. Originally, I thought you were plotting against our three-rotor technology just to get a good price. But now it seems that you have bigger ambitions."
Xu Cang knocked on the table: "Do you want to control how I use your three-rotor technology?"
"I heard that you had a conflict with the Korean guy from CFM before, and you also threatened to build an engine comparable to CFM56 within five years?" Song Xinyang suddenly changed the subject and mentioned Lee Hyukjae.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Xu Cang's face: "You're meddling too much!"
"It's okay. Since the headquarters is willing to accept your conditions, you can use it however you want. We don't care." Song Xinyang said with a smile: "However, if you want to create an engine comparable to CFM56 with only three-rotor technology, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. It is impossible. Rotor technology is only a relatively important part of the huge structure of the engine. You are far behind ."
Xu Cang's face darkened completely: "I say... you care too much!"
Seeing that Xu Cang was really angry, Song Xinyang sneered and said nothing more.
Xu Cang stood up directly: "After the 777 test is completed, let's discuss the details!"
After saying that, Xu Cang left the cafe without looking back.
Looking at Xu Cang's receding back, Song Xinyang rubbed his temples: "He really has a bad temper!"
Xu Cang was indeed a little angry, but it was just a little, that was all. After leaving the cafe, Xu Cang told Qin Xin to wait for a moment, and he wanted to talk to Chen Xiangdong and Director Wu Yue.
When I arrived at the door, I found that only Master Chen Xiangdong was there, and Director Wu Yue had disappeared.
"Where is Director Wu? Did he leave early?" Xu Cang looked around but did not see Wu Yue.
"He went to pick someone up and will be here soon. He is also here to look for you." Chen Xiangdong said with a smile, "Xu Cang, you made quite a big fuss in Jakarta. He is rushing over to look for you!"
"Looking for me?" Xu Cang frowned: "What do you want to see me for?"
Xu Cang was a little wary. The person who could be picked up by Director Wu Yue must be of a special status. However, he felt a headache when he thought about it. It was not a good thing that these big shots were so interested in him.
They never do business at a loss, but Xu Cang is not the kind of person who likes to do business. At least if he wants to do it, he should take the lead instead of being forced.
But to be honest, his current energy is not enough to fully control his own destiny.
"By the way, are you sure about the bet with CAA?" Chen Xiangdong asked, "To be honest, you don't need to bet with him. We want to take you away, and he can't keep you. Isn't this just a fight of pride?"
Xu Cang smiled and said, "Master, you don't like fame. But in fact, fame can often bring you many unexpected gains."
Chen Xiangdong is a veteran in the industry, and he immediately understood: "You want to use CAA to become famous around the world?"
"Only with fame can you have value and bargaining chips, right?" Xu Cang said, and suddenly saw two people walking towards him in the distance.
Xu Cang looked carefully and found that one of them was Director Wu of the Flight Standards Department. He was respectfully supporting an old man at the moment, and his attitude was very humble.
The fact that the Director of the Flight Standards Department treated him like this shows how high the status of this old man is!
However, when the two approached, Xu Cang saw the old man's face clearly, and his face changed drastically. He exclaimed: "He is the director of the National Flight Test Institute... Bi Lin?"
