Chapter 205 Discovery
Hongsavadi.
Mandalay, Aoba Airlines' civil aircraft manufacturing base.
Hedgehog Head, who has been here for more than half a year , has become familiar with many of the employees around him through his excellent social skills .
He was mainly responsible for the design of the aircraft landing gear, and his team leader Robert was a Boer from South Africa.
"Team Leader Robert, this is the prototype test report for Plan No. 7." The Hedgehog-headed man handed a report to Robert.
Robert took it, glanced at it, and put it aside: "OK, it seems that there is no problem with the landing gear of the medium-sized passenger plane."
"Team leader, what should we do next?" asked the Hedgehog Head.
Robert smiled and replied, "Don't worry. Don't you Chinese have a saying? Work and rest together. Don't work too hard. The company doesn't want to see us die from overwork."
The hedgehog-haired guy, who goes by the alias Gao Changfeng, just smiled at this.
Robert looked at Gao Changfeng's back as he left, raised his glasses, and a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.
Gao Changfeng had just returned to his work and sorted out some design drawings when he was stopped by several colleagues.
"Changfeng, it's almost time to get off work! Do you want to go get some skewers together?" A tall, muscular man patted him on the shoulder.
Gao Changfeng did not refuse. After all, he was here to gather intelligence. If he did not have a good relationship with the submarine employees, how could he gather intelligence? He blurted out:
"OK!"
The muscular man turned around and asked another local employee: "Yuzu, do you want to join us?"
Mao Youmu first saved the document on his computer, then replied, "Okay, but no drinking."
"I understand." The muscular man waved his hands awkwardly.
He didn't know the rules before. During a work dinner, he ordered a few bottles of beer and poured drinks for other colleagues. Then he was named and reported by the consulting company under the head office, and his salary was deducted by 500 yuan.
This incident left him with a profound lesson.
That is, within the Qingye Group, you must never casually pour wine or persuade your colleagues to drink, pass cigarettes, recommend chewing betel nuts, give red envelopes, or ask for share money, etc.
Unless you are sure that the other person really likes to smoke and drink, you will be targeted by consulting companies in no time.
The muscular man obviously thought that this place was similar to his hometown at first, which was why he suffered this loss.
After calling his friends for a while, the muscular man called two colleagues from the cabin pressure maintenance system design team, and a total of five people went to eat skewers together.
On one side of the aircraft manufacturing base is the employee town.
This small town is actually one of the satellite towns of Mandalay. There are currently 7 satellite towns around Mandalay, and these areas are all part of Mandalay.
When combined, they are collectively called Mandalay Region.
Because this town has an aircraft manufacturing base, a large number of supporting factories, and their families, it is also called Aircraft Town.
Feiji Town is located northwest of Mandalay's main urban area, 13.4 kilometers away from the main urban area. It is connected by a ring light rail and a highway.
The light rail divides the town into two parts, with the industrial area on the north and the commercial and residential areas on the south.
Gao Changfeng and his group used their employee cards and took the bus to the commercial area on the south side.
This is a small town with a population of about 63,000. The vast majority of residents are company employees, and the rest are employees' families, so there are no outsiders.
Gao Changfeng was sitting on the bus, looking out the window.
Unlike ordinary industrial cities, the layout of Feiji Town is very loose, the streets are extremely wide, and there are a large number of small parks between each factory.
Especially between the light rail and the industrial area, there is a series of parks, woodlands and grasslands.
It seems that every factory is surrounded by green.
From Gao Changfeng's specially trained perspective, this city layout seemed to be prepared for war.
In fact, he guessed correctly.
Such a large area of urban gardens is a preparation for war.
Many factories’ plant design plans leave room for renovation from the outset.
For example, the area reserved for the layout of the green umbrella system and the modular design inside the factory allow for quick disassembly, and the open roads are also designed to facilitate the layout of green umbrellas and the rapid transfer of equipment and products.
Only the new humans of the Homo sapiens company know the secret of this reserved space for transformation, and it is impossible for natural human employees to see its true purpose.
Even if Gao Changfeng had certain professional reconnaissance capabilities, he could only grope in the dark at this time.
The low sound of the bus's engine was too familiar to Gao Changfeng, the muscular man and others. It was a bit similar to a turbofan engine.
It’s just that the sound is very small, even smaller than that of ordinary gasoline and diesel engines.
This situation caught Gao Changfeng's attention because the engine sound of this bus was somewhat different from previous diesel generators.
"Da Biao, has the engine of this bus been replaced?"
Still waiting for the muscular man Da Biao to answer.
Maun Yumu, who was sitting in the front, spoke up: "You haven't paid attention to the company's economic bulletin, have you? The automobile factory invested by the company in Chiang Mai, Siam, has officially started production. This bus was produced there, and I heard that it uses gas turbine technology."
"Gas turbine? Are you kidding?" Da Biao looked surprised.
Gao Changfeng listened carefully for a while and found that the bus engine sounded very much like a turbofan engine:
"Why would the car factory use gas turbines? Gas turbines have high thermal efficiency only when they are large and high speed. Small gas turbines have very low thermal efficiency when they run at low speeds. The best experimental cars now have gas turbines with a thermal efficiency of only 30-40%, and the equipment cost is very high."
Mao Youmu spread his hands and said, "How can I know what the designers of the car factory think?"
Da Biao opened his mobile phone and logged into the official website of Aoba Automobile Company.
I saw the relevant content very quickly.
Sure enough, Aoba Automobile Company recently launched a series of hybrid models, including buses, pickup trucks, vans, and coaches.
"Hybrid power? I see. This is probably to solve the problem of low speed and low efficiency." Da Biao saw the intention of this plan at a glance.
Gao Changfeng suddenly realized : "So it's hybrid power, but the thermal efficiency of the micro gas turbine is just average! Also, how do we solve the noise and high-heat exhaust?"
"As for noise, they used sound insulation materials and noise reduction design." Da Biao answered while flipping through the pages: "Fuck..."
"What's wrong?" Mao Yumu turned around and asked.
Da Biao said with a strange look on his face: "Aren't they afraid of cost explosion? They actually use waste gas to re-produce methane and realize waste heat recovery."
"What? Waste gas produces methane?" Gao Changfeng opened his mobile phone and quickly found relevant content.
This technology utilizes the exhaust gas from gas turbines, which is high temperature and high pressure and consists of water vapor and carbon dioxide, and introduces it into a special electro-colysis synthesis reactor.
In the synthesis reactor, electrolysis and special catalysts can quickly convert high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor and carbon dioxide into high-temperature methane gas.
Its energy conversion efficiency is about 38%.
Gao Changfeng raised his head and said, "If I remember correctly, this technology seemed to have been developed by Shuimu University in 2018, right?"
Da Biao replied: "Yes, it will be introduced later. Qingye Automobile has purchased the right to use this technology in one go."
"With this system, including micro gas turbines, generators, batteries, electronic controls, electric motors, sound insulation, and exhaust gas and heat recovery systems, the cost has exploded. What do the car manufacturers think? It's a bit of a loss!" Gao Changfeng complained.
