Chapter 1711 Nothing Is Impossible (Part 2)

After hanging up the phone, Mi Feifei said helplessly, "Boss, are you sure?"

"It doesn't matter!" Guo Tailai smiled: "If you ask, you won't lose a piece of meat, maybe it will be done!"

Of course, Guo Tailai hoped to succeed. In this case, as long as the MT30 engine is installed on the ship, it means that the structural design drawing is in hand. The engine of the previous ultra-high-speed yacht is actually the future MT7, and it is also Rolls-Royce's technology, which is in the same line as the MT30.

The structure of that MT7 has been studied for several years, and now it is going to launch the latest domestic tilt-prop aircraft, obviously it has mastered the key technology. If you get the structural design drawing of MT30 again, I believe it will not be a big problem to continue in-depth research.

In this way, the domestic technology obtained from the UGT25000 series and the imitation technology of MT30 are available. Basically, there is no need to worry about the power system of large and small warships.

Even if someone doubts it in the future, it's not a problem. Huaxia has introduced Rolls-Royce Spey engines very early on, and there is always a trace of a company's products. Moreover, Guo Tailai also helped the country obtain the structural drawings of the Black Hawk helicopter, and has an optimized integrated design. With the strength of Chinese scientific researchers, it is not a problem at all to learn from these things. As long as the time and funds can keep up, everything can be done. possible. When the time comes, it will definitely be a good thing that gathers the strengths of all the families.

Of course Charles knew of Guo Tailai's super yacht design, the design company and the designers he sent over, and he even got the yacht's exterior drawing at the beginning of the design. It was definitely a civilian ship, there was no doubt about that. The question now is whether MT30 is allowed to be sold to Huaxia.

From the perspective of Rolls-Royce, of course they are willing to sell! What is a capitalist, of course, is to make as much money as possible. The MT30 has just been successfully developed, and the current production capacity of the entire company cannot produce ten MT30 engines a year. There are not many ships using this type of engine. It can be said that selling one is a profit. The most important thing is that although Rollo-Royce claims to have successfully developed it, there are no formal orders and no actual cases.

When he heard that Mr. Huaxia T was going to build the world's largest yacht and wanted to use MT30, Rolls-Royce was of course overjoyed. Why not sell? If it is only for civilian use, of course it can be considered! The largest yacht in the world, as long as it performs well, how much advertising effect will it have?

The only problem is the West's technology blockade policy against China. Of course, technology blockade and product blockade are two different things. It’s not that whoever gets the product can reverse survey and map it, otherwise, hundreds of thousands of civil aviation aircraft using Rolls-Royce and General Dynamics Pratt & Whitney aircraft engines have been sold to Huaxia for so many years, and they have never seen Huaxia’s aircraft engine. It has developed by leaps and bounds. In this regard, several companies have their own self-confidence.

That is, the MT30 is the newest product, and it needs a lot of thought, but it's not an unsolvable problem, is it? Large marine gas turbines can be the same as aircraft engines. As long as there is a suitable supervision system to ensure that they are only used on civilian ships, and Luo Luo is responsible for all maintenance, there should be no major problems. What's more, it is still a personal friend of Buckingham Palace who wants it, so we can do public relations in this regard.

Not only need public relations, but also hurry up, otherwise, Mr. T will choose LM2500. Thousands of such engines have been sold around the world, and the Americans are relatively open about civilian use, let alone selling them to Mr. T. If they don’t seize the opportunity, the money will have to be made by the Americans. The largest yacht in the world uses American products, and Rolls-Royce’s products were chosen first, but it didn’t work out. What kind of shame would that be?

Of course, this is also what Guo Tailai told Charles, and Luo Luo must always have an alternative plan to put pressure on Luo Luo. If they are sure that you have no choice, not only can they make a decision, but they can also increase the price substantially, Guo Tailai does not want to be taken advantage of.

After finishing the call with Charles, Guo Tailai received a call from Zhao Xiangbei. No big deal, let's go home and have dinner together tonight. Of course Guo Tailai readily agreed, what else can I say?

The dinner was in Zhao Xiangbei's courtyard, and there were only four people eating, Zhao Xiangbei and his wife, Guo Tailai and Zhao Yanyan. They are all made according to the family's own taste, and the family eats very easily.

"Fatty, have you ever considered using domestically produced gas turbines for your yacht?" The conversation was very relaxed during the meal. After dinner, Zhao Xiangbei asked Guo Tailai in a casual manner: "The gas turbine technology we imported from Ukraine, GT25000 is also very good."

The GT25000 gas turbine is a localized version of the Ukrainian UGT-25000 gas turbine, with a power of 25 megawatts (about 35,000 horsepower).

Obviously, this is Zhao Xiangbei asking for a certain domestic engine manufacturer. At noon, after Zhao Xiangbei knew that Guo Tailai was going to embark on a super yacht, he immediately reported the new situation to some people. Someone above should be tempted and want to win this order.

"It can also be considered, but the priority is not high." Guo Tailai did not say death, but he did not directly agree: "I will try MT30 first. If possible, at least we have the structural drawings of MT30 for reference. If not, consider LM2500+. Finally, consider the dog head, after all, if you want to maintain high performance, the design modification will be very large.”

Two MT30s can support three Dogheads, and there is a big difference in weight, volume and fuel consumption. If you really want to change it, the performance gap will be very large. In order to maintain high performance, the installation of three gas turbines will require major structural changes, so there is no way until the end, and it will definitely not be considered.

"MT30 is probably difficult!" Zhao Xiangbei nodded. Anyway, he can explain what he has to say. It's not that he promises what he will do, but he can just bring it along. Who makes the difference in power too far? : "LM2500 is possible."

Guo Tailai can get the engine of the Black Hawk helicopter from the Americans, so how difficult is it to get two more marine gas turbines? So Zhao Xiangbei also knew that, in fact, there was not much hope for domestic dog heads. But he will not think that Guo Tailai is not patriotic because of this. Guo Tailai just said that if he gets the MT30, there will be blueprints in the country. This is much more meaningful than supporting two or three Kotou.

While talking, Guo Tailai's satellite phone rang, and it belonged to Charles.

"G, can you accept that there must be supervisors present when the gas turbine is installed?" Charles didn't talk nonsense with Guo Tailai, he came up and asked directly: "And Luo Luo will be responsible for future maintenance, and accept positioning and regular inspections. If possible , Rolls-Royce can try to push Congress to release it.”

"Of course." Guo Tailai smiled, without any objection.

"Ok!" Charles seemed happy too: "I'll notify them."

After hanging up the phone, Guo Tailai smiled at Zhao Xiangbei and Zhao Yanyan: "It seems that nothing is impossible. Rolls-Royce is trying to push Congress to let it go."
