Engine technology in aircraft manufacturing is absolutely top-notch.
It just so happens that the Balance Group established an engine manufacturing company...
Do you think it’s possible to acquire Bombardier’s dash8 technology project?
Yes!
Those who build tractors can also build sports cars.
Those who build tractors can also build airplanes.
The engine is the core!!
When Zhou Li'an finished speaking, Patricia on the side fell silent... It's understandable to buy a plane.
The aircraft technology project is...???
Therefore, Barbara on the other end of the phone also fell silent.
Zhou Li'an only heard the take-off warning sound coming from over there, and Barbara finally said, "Boss, I'm about to take off. How about I get on the ground and find out the details before reporting to you?"
"Okay, you fly to Chihuahua and land before me. I'll contact you when I land in Mexico City and transfer!"
"……clear."
This is Barbara.
If it were David Liang and Jonah, there would definitely be a lot of exclamations and doubts.
Propeller aircraft have almost no market share, and commercial aviation is completely dominated by jet aircraft.
Only a few areas require propeller aircraft with take-off and landing maneuverability for navigation due to plateau terrain and other issues.
Furthermore, Bombardier is not the only one producing propeller aircraft.
Therefore, it is difficult to recover the capital, let alone achieve profits.
Zhou Li'an's idea is very simple...
All the technologies involved in the aircraft field are relatively cutting-edge and are outdated and backward in this world. However, for the balance of time and space, this is the best entry threshold.
It is difficult to find channels to obtain this kind of technical information.
When I hear that Bombardier is selling technology projects, isn’t it true that something is missing?
Arrive in Mexico City in 2 hours.
Zhou Li'an immediately called Barbara.
After probably waiting for a long time, Barbara answered in seconds: "Boss, please find out clearly that the dash8 project technology is actually a repurchase!"
"Dash8 was originally named Dhc-8. It originally belonged to De Havilland Canada. Later, the company was privatized and Dhc was acquired by Boeing... More than ten years later, Bombardier bought Dhc-8 from Boeing and changed its name to now
dash8."
"Four years ago, de Havilland Canada received a capital injection, so it repurchased dash8, and Bombardier sold all patent copyrights and after-sales operation and maintenance departments."
Wow——
Zhou Li'an's heart suddenly dropped.
"Didn't you say that technology projects are shared before?"
Barbara said helplessly: "I'm not an insider, so it's hard to figure out the specific situation, but the news this time is absolutely accurate."
"That's not right." Zhou Li'an said again, "The dash8q100 I ordered was bought from Bombardier, right? Their entire property is for sale, how can they sell it to me?"
"..." Barbara was silent for a few seconds and said apologetically: "Boss, I need to admit my mistake to you. We were tricked by Bombardier."
"The reason why the delivery time is advanced is that they still have two inventory aircraft. In the original acquisition case between the two parties, de Havilland was unwilling to buy back the two inventory aircraft at full price, so it was agreed that Bombardier could continue to complete the operation of the last two aircraft."
"But the modification configuration you need will be completed by Bombardier and handed over to de Havilland."
Having said this, Barbara took a long breath and said, "I have contacted the legal department of the group, and we can initiate a lawsuit to try to cancel this purchase order."
Grass!!
Can you still play like this?
"In other words, it is impossible for me to buy patent sharing?"
"???" Barbara couldn't laugh or cry, "Boss, the key now is that we have been deceived, haven't we?"
However, Zhou Li'an felt more disappointed.
It doesn't matter whether the aircraft is a stock machine or not. In comparison, it is more uncomfortable to lose the aircraft production materials that are almost obtained.
"Barbara, what's the point of de Havilland buying back propeller planes? This technology is already outdated, isn't it?"
Barbara thoroughly inquired about the news and said directly: "Navigation in small Canadian cities relies more on small and medium-sized propeller aircraft. Secondly, there are also special areas in other countries that have short-distance flight needs."
"You know, propeller aircraft are much less expensive to operate and maintain than jet aircraft."
"How much did they spend to buy back dash8?"
"300 million dollars."
Hiss.
Nearly 2 billion yuan?
This price is obviously terrifying.
But there are two sides to the matter. This transaction still gave Zhou Li'an hope... at least the transaction was possible, but not absolutely prohibited.
As for jet aircraft, don't even think about it, they are an absolute monopoly.
Zhou Li'an pondered for a moment and then said: "There is no need to sue! Establish a good relationship with them, especially De Havilland. Tell them that I still have order needs. This time I will not go to Bombardier, but go to them directly."
"Are you serious? You want to sell another one?"
"Do you understand the verbal promise? The main purpose is to whet their appetite. You will wait for the modified aircraft to arrive before you notify them of the new order, and implicitly propose to purchase the dash8 project technology. We will not buy it out, as long as the technology is shared.
, and the production and sales scope..."
“Only in Mexico!”
"We are only equivalent to regional dealers, but the technology must be fully disclosed!"
"Of course, in addition to dash8, other propeller aircraft production technologies are also available. You can inquire first and let me know when you have specific information."
Pouring a basin of cold water down made Zhou Li'an calm down a lot.
Aircraft technology is hard to come by.
Give the balance enough time and you can produce independently.
[Academic Center] Upgrade, research results can always be produced, even if it takes decades.
Of course, it would be best if technology could be provided directly in this world.
Technical information is the teacher who leads the way, and it is much faster than self-taught.
There are often news reports in this world that private scientists have successfully made their first flight...
Just enjoy this kind of news picture.
The safety factor is not guaranteed, and it is impossible to complete the leap of thousands of kilometers. Otherwise, the development of the "x8 transport aircraft" would not have gone through ups and downs.
Aviation aircraft and folk toys cannot be compared.
At present, the 300 million acquisition of dash8 also proves the preciousness of technology.
Even backward technologies are beyond the reach of some small countries, so easy transactions will definitely cause a series of turbulence. It is extremely important that technology does not leak out.
Barbara was relieved when her boss softened his tone and no longer insisted on winning dash8, and promised: "I will go find out about the situation."
The phone hangs up.
Zhou Li'an smiled bitterly, "I'm still anxious!"
In the 15th century, the balanced level of scientific and technological development was able to complete dimensionality reduction strikes. It is still too early to think about whether planes are better than planes.
Oil hasn't come out yet, so there's no point in planning too far ahead.
However, it must have been a wonderful feeling to have had a group of fighter jets dominate the skies and sweep across the world in the 15th century.
Besides...
Dash8 is not necessarily unavailable.
Zhou Li'an offered generous terms, which included technology sharing, operating rights only in Mexico, and official backing, so let's see.
Return to Greystone Island.
Both of them were very tired.
Oil production was expected to be produced in two days, so Zhou Li'an was not in a hurry to travel through the country, but took a good rest for a day.
Patricia was very obedient and did not pester anyone. Instead, she imitated the snow girl and massaged Zhou Li'an to relax and enjoy a moment of peace.
…
Equilibrium 12 years, September 21.
The snow girl stayed in Jianlian for 8 days, and finally waited until our Lord arrived. Yingying knelt down and worshiped, "Master, you are finally back. I praise you, Praise Jianlian!"
Zhou Li'an smiled and asked, "How are the arrangements going?"
"Twice a day, Kuaiqi will send us the drilling status of the oil team. So far, no oil has been seen gushing out."
"Repair work on roads in various cities has begun..."
It's only been a few days and not much has changed.
One master and one servant boarded the helicopter and took off to No. 5 City.
The plane landed 1 kilometer outside the oil well area.
Zhou Li'an didn't want to bring the project to an emergency stop to prevent them from making mistakes, so after getting off the plane, he walked away with the snow girl.
However, the members of the oil team who heard the roar of the helicopter gathered together and knelt down to worship the balance.
Zhou Li'an asked: "How's the depth?"
"My Lord is on top. The drill bit has penetrated 780 meters deep. Apart from a few operating errors these days, nothing unusual has happened, and the operation level has become more proficient. However, for the sake of safety in producing oil for the first time, we did not increase the drilling speed.
."
You will definitely not see oil before 900 meters.
This will require another 1-2 days of project progress.
After a few words of encouragement, Zhou Li'an took Snow Girl back to the present world.
The two women meet.
The snow girl was pleasantly surprised, "Patricia?"
She has no friends in Balance, and being able to serve our Lord with her, Patricia is particularly close to her.
Patricia did the same, smiled, and pulled her into the room, "I brought you a lot of clothes, you can try them on."
"Ah, what are these...so strange!"
"My master likes them all, and I like them too. Put them on quickly...oh, they're so slippery!"
At this moment, Zhou Li'an walked into the room.
Two girls with blushing cheeks, one shy and charming, the other charming, walked over.
…
September 22.
The drilling went down 880 meters, but no oil was found.
September 23.
We went 1,000 meters deep and still found nothing.
Of course, there are times when the current data is inaccurate, and hundreds of years passed. Who knows how many times the Andres fault in the Holy Land shook before the underground oil was squeezed out.
Therefore, it is normal for the data to be inaccurate.
Zhou Li'an is not in a hurry, there must be oil, it's just a matter of depth.
September 29th.
On the 16th day of drilling, the depth reached 1,900 meters.
Afternoon.
Zhou Li'an and Snow Girl arrive.
Listen to the report of the oil team, and then stop and watch for a moment.
Keep waiting?
To be honest, Zhou Li'an has no patience anymore. The original budget was 9-15 days as the limit. Now half a month has arrived. With this effort, it can be completed in 3 months.
Oil cannot escape, and the relevant theoretical simulations by Zhou Aijun and others are already very proficient.
After oil is produced, it will naturally begin to be smelted.
However, just when Zhou Li'an was about to tell Xue Nu to return to the main city, several pressure alarms in the command room sounded alarms at the same time.
Everyone was shocked and became stunned at this moment.
Only Zhou Li'an responded the fastest...
If something went wrong in the drilling area, it would definitely be a serious accident. He already had one hand on Yuki-onna's back, ready to leave in a flash at any time.
But at the same time.
He woke everyone up with an angry rebuke, "What are you waiting for? Why aren't you checking the situation yet?!"
Everyone woke up suddenly.
Zhou Aijun wanted to take the lead in kneeling down, but he was forced back by the cold gaze of our Lord True God...
Zhou Li'an was also helpless.
You shouldn't come to high-risk production areas.
It is even more impossible to say that worship services are exempted.
If we don’t have oil, we can’t disrespect our true God.
The supremacy of balanced divine power is the real first order, and everything else must fall back.
Therefore, in the future, we should come to such high-risk production areas as little as possible. Even if we come, we must issue an order in advance to suspend the construction period.
Unless it reaches the absolutely safe production period and the technology is completely perfected.
"Quick, check the pressure gauge!"
"Unit No. 1 is operating normally..."
"No. 2 is normal..."
"No. 3 is..."
"No, it's a drill pipe pressure alarm. Underground, the underground pressure has changed. Inject drilling oil quickly and adjust the fluid column pressure to prevent a blowout!"
"..."
Amid the shouting, there was order amid chaos.
Zhou Li'an took a deep breath and probably understood, "The oil is coming out!"
"Master, is it really true?" Snow Girl suddenly became excited.
Zhou Li'an nodded and led her out of the command room.
Xue Nu stared at the drilling site closely, while Zhou Li'an pointed to the other side, "We are starting to prepare to relieve the pressure over there."
I saw only a few craftsmen completing the work according to standards.
At the drilling location, the sound of violent pipe suction came out again.
At this moment.
boom--
The nozzle that Zhou Li'an pointed to suddenly burst into flames, like a giant flamethrower standing on the ground.
The flames were endless, as if they had no intention of stopping or extinguishing.
“The petroleum gas was discharged smoothly!!”
"Quick, open all the storage tank pipes..."
"Oil, oil is out!"
The snow girl's body trembled with excitement, "Master, it's successful! Balance has finally mined its own oil! But why is it burning and flames appear there!"
"That is petroleum gas. If the petroleum gas in the geological layer is not burned but directly emitted, excessive concentration will cause a big explosion."
"I haven't given them the collection device yet. I will wait until the first batch of oil surges and the pressure stabilizes, and then install the LPG compression device. It can be sent to the steel team for heating of the hot blast furnace."
The snow girl thought deeply and secretly made a note. She made up her mind that she would not mess around with Patricia again when she went back. She had become slack in her law practice recently.
Soon after.
All equipment entered automatic operation, except for a few maintenance tasks, and the oil team all knelt down.
But not yet waiting for them to sing their praises.
Zhou Li'an was the first to speak: "Crude oil production is only the first step, material separation and oil refining are the key steps!"
"The task you are waiting for has not yet been completed, and we need to continue our efforts."
The words end here.
Everyone saw my Lord walking into the distance.
They were about to follow, but were silently stopped by the snow girl.
Everyone looked from a distance and saw countless storage tanks starting to be created out of thin air as our Lord True God waved his hand.
As the miracle unfolded, they could no longer remain calm and all knelt down to worship.
Zhou Li'an returned and said: "After the diesel product oil is produced, it will be sent to the No. 6 Dacheng Mining Area in storage tanks for use in the mechanical creations I gave you!"
"The remaining product oil will be stored. A storage warehouse will be built 10 kilometers away from the well area. Safety regulations will be strictly enforced and all sources of fire will be prohibited."
"After the first oil surge, based on the current equilibrium consumption, determine the collection and refining speed..."
As the decrees were issued one by one, someone immediately took out their pen and paper and started recording them.
Even today's oil consumption is low.
In the past, the construction machinery given to the mining area was driven by diesel. If they want to be used on a large scale, they still need to wait for the support of modern equipment.
The first batch of petroleum products was produced and could be used as a practical subject for chemical experiments on the Temple Mount.
certainly.
The oil is already available, the mining area operation speed can be increased, more mining equipment can be put in, and the oil volume will be consumed.
at the same time.
The steel team will also expand production and build iron barrels to begin to reserve fuel for equilibrium.
Once various types of machinery are in operation, the rate of oil consumption will soar dozens of times. Of course, the more the inventory, the better. Only if there is not enough, there will never be an inexhaustible supply.
The gushing of oil does not mean that it must be continuously exploited and refined.
After the oil is extracted for the first time, the pressure under the formation is balanced and the oil will not continue to gush. The oil needs to be extracted manually by extraction or pressurization.
Therefore, the oil team can scientifically adjust the output rate based on consumption and the number of storage tanks to cope with demand.
