Chapter 1282 There really is ancient technology
When Gu Xiaobai and others were seriously participating in the school song competition and preparing for the senior mentoring competition.

In the United States, General Electric Aviation Group, in a dusty warehouse, several engineers in jumpsuits are cleaning an old warehouse.

"Josen, move this box too."

An engineer climbed up the ladder and said to his companion.

Then, he dropped a heavy box from the huge shelf, and with a "boom", the box fell to the ground.

There was a sound of metal and paper colliding, and a black lacquered metal object rolled out of the box.

"Hey... what is this?" The engineer was a little puzzled, got down from the ladder, and picked up the dark thing.

Then his eyes widened suddenly, he hurriedly opened the box, and began to check the information inside.

After a moment, his hands were shaking.

"Josen, Josen! Don't lose the previous information!"

The tall and strong Josen was throwing a large box of documents onto the trailer, when he heard this, he turned his head: "Why?"

"Look at what I found!" The engineer's eyes lit up.

Two hours later, several technical executives of General Electric were almost all gathered in an office, looking at the dusty document like a treasure.

As one of the world's largest manufacturers of aero engines, life is not particularly easy for General Electric as the aviation market shrinks.

During this period of time, they began to streamline various projects, and sealed up many of the cut projects and materials.

But they didn't expect that when they cleaned up the old warehouse to make room for the new project, they discovered something incredible.

It was a secretive project during the U.S.-Soviet arms race, a very mature subminiature turbofan design, and several single-person vehicle applications to go with it.

Judging from the project documentation, this project has almost been completed and has reached the stage of application.

Its project design is excellent and its parameters are excellent, far surpassing several current plans of General Electric, and even far surpassing the current plans of Airbus and Boeing.

But in the final test stage, many problems appeared in this plan, and it was finally sealed.

In fact, it is not surprising that it was sealed. Even before Gu Xiaobai showed the world what a real one-man aircraft looks like, the one-person aircraft was still considered a flashy thing with little practicality.

Let alone decades ago.

At that time, the microelectronics technology was backward, and the computing power of the computer was seriously insufficient. The reliability of this kind of aircraft flying in the air was too low, and it could not maintain the dynamic balance. It almost flew one by one and fell one by one.

But in modern times, this kind of problem has been perfectly solved...

A month earlier, these materials would probably have been thrown into the incinerator and burned directly.

But a month later, this thing was regarded as a real treasure by the entire General Electric.

The direction of human technological development is sometimes so reckless and blind.

"The parameters of this engine are really excellent. I think after a period of tuning, I can completely catch up with Gu Xiaobai's backpack aircraft!"

"Changing the material of this engine to 4822 alloy will further improve the performance, maybe it can surpass the performance of the monster turbofan of Gu Xiaobai's backpack..."

"Maybe it's possible!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was as enthusiastic as if it was on fire.

This is the feeling of standing in the wind again.

No need to cut projects, no need to lay off employees, no need to cut salaries, and even the coffee beans in the office don’t need to be downgraded!
We're going to be awesome again soon!

Long live!

The engineers of General Electric never expected that they could dig out this super treasure from the pile of old papers decades ago.

This feeling is like discovering the magic of an ancient technique after falling off a cliff.

In fact, this is not surprising. Engineering has always been a very magical thing. It is often not only technology and the times that affect it, but the direction, route, and time, manpower, and money accumulated on one thing. How many.

Times and tools can often only increase its speed, but cannot form a generation gap.

To some extent, it is actually an empirical science, relying on a large number of experiments and accumulated data.

For example, in architecture, people living in different places have very different architectural styles, but it is often the most scientific and ingenious architectural design that is most suitable for the local environment.

Another example is the human lunar exploration project. Human beings were able to land on the moon in 1968, and they have been on the moon so many times. After decades, no one can do it again.

Sometimes, without the exclusive tips and habits of an engineer, the final quality will be very different.

In Japan, there are many companies that have been passed down for decades and hundreds of years, specializing in a very small field, and have dominated this field to an irreplaceable degree. The Japanese promote it as the spirit of craftsmanship, which is actually this kind of craftsmanship. accumulation.

The accumulation of countless small tricks is the difference between one that can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and one that will fall apart before it is assembled.

In aerospace, this sort of thing happens more.

The rocket with the most thrust in the world, the largest transport plane in the world, the fastest manned aircraft in the world...

Many of these lists were replaced after dominating the list for decades, and even still occupy the strongest list.

Many things are not even capable of being reproduced or manufactured anymore, so they can only be cherished and used.

Why?The reasons are varied.

Some have no money to continue research, some engineers have retired or died, some have no one to understand the blueprints, and some have lost all supporting supply chains, so either rebuild the entire industrial chain or completely overthrow and re-research.

It's all time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The biggest advantage of these century-old companies is their accumulation in engineering.

Human needs for stuff change all the time.

The garbage ten years ago may be just needed now.

Just like now, discovering a gold mine-like project from the pile of old papers.

And these projects that have been thrown into the pile of old papers again may be unearthed in some years.

This is a big family, you can't accept it.

At the end of the school song competition senior mentoring competition, when the domestic entertainment circle was full of hustle and bustle because of the school song competition and Hao Fanbai's enthusiasm for business, in the aviation field, a shocking news came.

GE Aviation Group has released GE's first mini turbofan MF101 for single-person aircraft, and its performance parameters are off the charts!

According to the parameters announced by General Electric Aviation, its theoretical performance can even catch up with the mini turbofan used by Gu Xiaobai!
After getting the news, representatives of Boeing and Airbus have come directly to the door.

The sky that was once obscured by Gu Xiaobai in the aviation world has regained its dawn!
And the gossip came that the engine was pulled out of the pile of old papers by General Electric, which shocked countless people's attention.

Let me go, the United States is the United States, and it is still awesome, and it cannot be underestimated no matter what.

Moreover, there really is ancient technology!

What was written in the novel turned out to be true, and the clown was actually myself!
