The turbojet engine was the original form of engine, but it was soon eliminated. Because he is too fuel-intensive. Engine designers quickly figured out a way. In front of the turbojet engine, add several directly larger fan blades. The fan blade blows backwards, and blows directly to the back through the space outside the turbojet engine, that is, the external duct. This is a turbofan engine, and the power has been greatly improved. If you continue to make the fan blade bigger, put it outside the engine. This is the turboshaft engine.
Today's aircraft designers are solving the problem of turbojet engines. After all, the development of this lowest-level engine has just begun, and it will also face various problems. Qin Baoshan directly expanded it for them, extending the form of the engine to the turboshaft engine. His theory immediately shocked everyone present. They all frowned, lost in thought.
Qin Baoshan continued: "Piston engines have reached their peak, and there is no future for further development. Therefore, if you want to continue to support aircraft, you must pay attention to this special jet engine. Mr. Wright, your company is Focusing on the development of piston engines, I suggest that you can consider my design, and in this way, cut into the research and development of jet engines. As long as you develop it, you can replace the engine for the b-29 bomber at any time .This should also be your best field."
In the initial stage, this strategic bomber used jet engines, but in the later stages, it will be replaced with turboshaft engines. Just like the Soviet Tu-4 bomber, this complete imitation of the b-29 bomber used a turboshaft engine in the later stage.
The structure of the piston engine is very complicated, there are so many cylinders, pistons, and various components, and it often leads to overheating. Now if we replace it with this jet engine, all the problems will be solved. , and will no longer worry about high-altitude performance. Even, the cost can be reduced.
Mr. Wright's company was based on the study of piston engines, but as jet engines rapidly replaced piston engines, their company would quickly become obsolete. What Qin Baoshan said now was just passing along. Since he was more sympathetic with this person, he would point out a way for him. In the continuous development of technology, some companies will emerge suddenly, and some companies will die. Seeing it is a kind of fate.
Cochran remained silent. Because these things are beyond Cochrane's knowledge, she is a pilot, a test pilot, not an engineer. Not to mention an engineer who is at the forefront of technology, so she doesn't know all kinds of advanced technologies. Even if she knew that she had vaguely heard of a jet engine, she didn't know the principle of this engine at all, and she didn't know how much change this engine could bring. But Qin Baoshan is different. He said that this kind of engine should be used when he came up, and he also proposed a way to enhance the power of the engine. Laymen watch the excitement, and experts see the way. Qin Baoshan said that several sets of turbine blades were added to the tail of the engine, which is not something ordinary people can say. Because they don't know the structure of this engine at all. Only people like Qin Baoshan can speak out when they know about it.
Mr. Wright finally spoke, and he said to Qin Baoshan: "We are willing to pay an annual salary of 100,000 yuan to hire you to be the chief engineer of our company's jet engine."
In this era, an annual salary of 100,000 is definitely a high salary. You know, here, the annual salary of ordinary Americans is only a little over a thousand dollars. Even if it is a white-collar worker, it is only more than three thousand dollars. The salaries of American soldiers are already relatively high. Ordinary soldiers only have a monthly salary of more than 200 US dollars, plus subsidies, more than 300 US dollars a month, which is already on par with white-collar workers. Among all kinds of salaries, only paratroopers have the highest salary because of their relatively high death rate.
Mr. Wright directly offered Qin Baoshan an annual salary of 100,000, which no one could refuse. You must know that in this era, more than a thousand dollars can buy a car. Even in some relatively developed states, a house costs ten to twenty thousand dollars.
Hearing this salary, even Cochran's eyes lit up, but to Qin Baoshan, these salaries are nothing at all. Because he didn't come here to make money at all. If he was reborn in the 1970s and 1980s, he would of course be able to make money and become well-off, reaching the pinnacle of his life, but he came to the age of war, and his mission was to fight and drive away the little devils. He came to the United States only to develop the military industry. It's not for anything else. No matter how much money there is, it doesn't mean anything to him.
Qin Baoshan shook his head and said to Mr. Wright: "Thank you for your annual salary of 100,000, but I'm sorry, I can't work in your company. I'm here because of the agreement with youAfter signing the agreement, I came here to investigate. Our country is still being ravaged by little devils, I will go back soon and continue beating devils. If you feel that my idea is of high enough value, you can give me some compensation in the same amount, and it will be regarded as buying my patent. For example, give me two identical engines so that I can study them myself when I go back. I am very grateful. "
The annual salary of 100,000 is very strong, but Qin Baoshan is unmoved, but if he does not ask the other party for things, then it is not Qin Baoshan's style. Qin Baoshan simply asked for a jet engine.
Of course, Qin Baoshan knew that the other party would never meet his request. After all, jet engines are the most cutting-edge technology in this era. Moreover, this thing also needs the cooperation of various advanced materials and craftsmanship. Even if Qin Baoshan wants to go back, it is useless, and he can't even find aviation fuel. But since the other party does not give Qin Baoshan such things, then It has to be replaced by something else.
Qin Baoshan made it clear that Mr. Wright's expression kept changing. When he heard Qin Baoshan say that he had to go back because he wanted to fight devils, he admired Qin Baoshan very much. He had also met other people from China, and none of them had such lofty ideals as Qin Baoshan. Since the other party is leaving and won't stay here, it is impossible for him to ask Qin Baoshan to be the chief engineer. However, the other party wants a jet engine?
