Chapter 1220 The Chinese’s Magical Tricks

After sending the Rolls-Royce delegation back to their residence, Ren Bingda specially called for the technician who had accompanied Tim Bodie to visit the test workshop:

"Xiao Wang, Mr. Bodi should have seen everything on the console No. 17, right?"

The young man known as Xiao Wang nodded immediately:

"I specifically left him a few seconds before calling someone to deal with it. It should be enough for him to remember..."

After that, seeing that there was no one else around, he lowered his voice and asked:

"But Mr. Ren, the data above is true. If the superiors allow it to be provided to Luo Luo, why not give it to them directly?"

Ren Bingda showed a sly smile:

"Let me ask you, have you read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Although it was a question, he didn't wait for the other party's answer at all.

After all, these days, even if you haven't seen the original work, you must have seen the TV series produced by CCTV.

So he directly put his hands behind his back and put on a scheming look:

"Before the Battle of Chibi, why did Zhou Yu pretend to be asleep and let Jiang Gan steal the documents instead of showing them to him directly?"

Having said this, Xiao Wang suddenly understood:

"Only in this way will the British believe it?"

"That's right..."

Ren Bingda said and sat back behind his desk:

"So we have prepared two sets of plans in advance. If the British are more positive in the previous meeting, then we can directly start talking about cooperation. But if they are hesitant or simply don't believe it, we can play tricks with them. ”

"Humans always tend to believe information that they actively obtain rather than passively send to them... Although Jiang Qian's strategy of stealing books is old, it can capture the weaknesses of human nature and is very easy to use... "

…

at the same time.

After saying goodbye to the Chinese reception group, Bodi didn't even wait to return to his residence. He hurriedly wrote down the several sets of numbers he had just memorized in his mind in the notebook he carried with him in the car.

He has been an engineer for most of his life and has never personally done anything like this kind of commercial espionage before.

So at this moment, my heart is still beating uncontrollably.

After taking several deep breaths, I managed to calm down and pay attention again to the data in the notebook and a schematic diagram for selecting sampling points.

"1.024mV, 1.063mV, 1.041mV..."

Three rows of tandem samplers, each group has 13 selection points, 5 sampling rods are equidistantly arranged on both sides, and 3 sampling rods are equidistantly distributed in the middle...

Both data values ​​and data forms are completely in line with Luoluo's own testing habits.

"Fxxk..."

Bodie cursed inwardly.

If choosing the same model of equipment and software from the same company can be explained as a coincidence, then even these operating procedures are completely the same, and there is basically only one possibility left -

The operating standards for exhaust gas measurement in front of us were borrowed directly from Rolls-Royce.

Especially considering that China has previously sent people to participate in most of the test flight processes of the Trent 900, it is inevitable to be exposed to these details.

Thinking of this, he who was still a little guilty suddenly lost his psychological burden.

"Blair."

He turned around and called his assistant, who was following him, and handed the notebook to him:

"After you go back, send these data back to the headquarters and let them import them into the Rotronic HPR system and see what the results are."

Blair Liggins didn't react when he heard this request:

"This is……"

"We have known before that the Chinese are developing a new type of large bypass ratio turbofan engine. This is likely to be the important cycle efficiency and emission data..."

Bodie tapped twice on the notebook.

But the confusion on Liggins' face did not lessen.

After all, it is just a set of potential data, and many main variable parameters need to be known to calculate the final gas concentration result.

After a while, he lowered his voice and asked:

"You mean...to apply our experimental conditions directly?"

If it had been five minutes ago, Bodi might still be hesitant about this slightly rough approach.

But now, he is very convinced that he can do this:

"Yes, just use ours..."

From beginning to end, Bodie never doubted the authenticity of these contents (which of course were true in the first place).

In fact, although he had definitely never heard of the story about Jiang Qian stealing books, in fact, during World War II, the British intelligence agencies used similar tricks many times to manipulate their German counterparts.

For example, through a piece of "accidentally lost" false information, the latter believed that the Allied forces would land in the Pas de Calais instead of Normandy.

But just as Ren Bingda expected, the weakness of human nature does not mean that you can completely avoid it if you know a strategy.

Especially under the pressure of time and lightning.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many old-fashioned deceptions that can endure for a long time...

…

Due to the time difference, when it was already night in China, it was still afternoon in the UK.

Therefore, Luoluo headquarters moved very quickly.

Before 12 o'clock that night, Bodie received a satellite call from Birmingham.

But after the call was connected, the person speaking was not a secretary or an engineer.

It was Bodie's old superior, Panos Watson himself.

"Tim, it's me, Panos Watson."

Before he could get over his surprise, the other party got straight to the point:

"I have seen the situation report submitted by Blair. Are you sure that the data in it are reliable?"

"More than 90%..."

Bodie still didn't say anything.

But in this case, "90%" is basically equivalent to affirmation.

So he quickly went on to explain:

"These data were not provided directly by the Chinese people. I saw them accidentally during the visit. It should be their negligence..."

Hearing this, Watson on the opposite side responded directly:

"Absolutely ridiculous!"

"You are now the chief person in charge of the NGME project. How can you do this kind of thing yourself... If the Chinese people get hold of it and accuse you of espionage, neither of us will end well!"

Watson on the other side of the phone took several deep breaths.

Bodie could even imagine the other person being furious while loosening the tie around his neck.

"rest assured……"

He was not worried at all:

"I kept it in my mind and didn't write it down on paper until after I left... In short, I can basically confirm the authenticity of the data."

Perhaps the explanation worked. After a few seconds, Watson's voice calmed down slightly:

"I'm not referring to the authenticity of the data itself, but whether it really belongs to an aerospace engine..."

"These two sets of parameters actually correspond to three indicators, namely NOx, carbon dioxide, and carbon particulate matter emissions... The specific data will be sent to you in a few minutes, but in short the emission characteristics are very abnormal."

Bodi had a bad premonition in his heart:

"It means that the content of characteristic components in the exhaust gas is very low?"

But Watson hesitated for a moment:

"Well... low characteristic value is only one aspect, the key is the proportion of ingredients."

"Dr. Richard Partridge happened to be present when the calculation results were sent to me. According to him, this data is closer to the characteristics of a naval gas turbine than an aircraft engine."

This name is not unfamiliar to Bodi.

Richard Partridge, Chief Engineer of Rolls-Royce Naval Systems Division, is also the R&D leader of two key gas turbine projects, WR21 and MT30.

Since the MT30 among them was developed based on the core machine of Trent 800, Partridge had worked with them for a long time about a few years ago.

This old gentleman's judgment is quite weighty.

So Bodi thought carefully for a while.

But in the end he firmed up his judgment:

"It's unlikely to be a gas turbine... As far as I know, the Chinese department responsible for developing marine gas turbines is located further north, and I have seen a compressor being tested. Although it is far away, it can be seen that it is not It does not meet the air intake characteristics of gas turbines..."

At this point, Bodi's voice stopped abruptly.

He suddenly recalled the slightly strange blade design of the compressor.

Especially the third-level static son whose thickness is unreasonably large...

"I have an immature guess..."

Bodi suddenly changed the subject:

"The appearance of that compressor is very strange, but it also gives me a very familiar feeling... I never remembered where I had seen it before, but now I suddenly remember it."

"It was the CLEAN program under the EU FP5 project in the late 1990s. At that time, Germany's MTU, Sweden's Volvo and France's Snecma jointly developed a turboprop concept aircraft using intercooling recuperation technology. Snecma's plan The intercooler is integrated behind the stator blades..."

"..."

"Although this plan is far from being implemented, considering the close relationship between the Chinese and the French, they are likely to inherit this idea!"
