On March 18, 20xx, the engine ground interview countdown was 58 hours.

The engine has been hoisted and fixed. Next, it needs to be connected to various instruments and equipment on the test bench and shut down tests are carried out. After all these inspections are completed, you can officially enter the formal test experiment.

However, just when Ye Zhou thought everything was ready, Chen Hao suddenly gave him a surprise.

"I heard you plan to calibrate the engine with metering calibration comparative experiment?"

Looking at Ye Zhou who was busy at the test drive terminal, Chen Hao asked directly.

Ye Zhou was stunned and replied:

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Why don't you use standard delivery calibration? This is the first engine, and delivery calibration can provide better reference, right?"

"Yes, of course, yes... but the question is, where can we go to find the ready-made ge-9x engine... Could you go to the airport to pull one and dismantle the engine?"

"Even if you really plan to do this, there is not enough time now. Early communication and preparation work will take time, and it is too late."

Chen Hao smiled and replied:

"If you go to the airport to pull a commercial plane over and dismantle it, of course it's too late, and it's impossible for us to dismantle it. But don't you know? We actually have several regular 777 models."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, but in just a flash, his surprise expression disappeared again.

That's right, there are indeed several regular Boeing 777 models in China, and the engine equipped on it is also the ge-9x.

However, the uses of these aircraft are not ordinary.

They not only have to undertake daily flight tasks, but also carry out emergency flights when necessary. Not to mention dismantling other people's engines, even if they just apply for a call, it will take a long process.

What's even more difficult is that these aircraft have strict confidentiality requirements and have undergone special modifications. Even for maintenance, they have to follow special channels and special procedures. How could they be handed over to themselves for disposal?

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou shook his head and said:

"Forget it, don't bother. It's good to use the measurement target method. If you test it a few more times, the data will be almost out."

"But the data that comes out may not be accurate, isn't it? If there is a problem with subsequent calibration, it will waste more time and resources."

Ye Zhou nodded silently and replied:

"That's right, but there is no way to do this. If you really need to do standard transmission calibration, you will do it after the preliminary test run is completed."

"Don't worry, do it well at once. Don't worry, we have a clear division of labor. You are responsible for technology and I am responsible for resources. As long as you need it, I'll get it for you. This afternoon, I'll send the engine here in the afternoon."

"What?? afternoon??"

Ye Zhou looked at Chen Hao in shock.

It was absolutely impossible to dismantle an engine on a Boeing 777 in one morning, but Chen Hao said that the engine could be delivered in the afternoon, so there was only one answer.

This guy has already disassembled the engine.

“…How did you do it?”

Chen Hao smiled mysteriously and replied:

"Don't worry about this. Anyway, as long as you go out under your name, as long as it is a normal research need, there will always be someone who will send you resources at any cost.

"I actually mentioned to you once that I would try it. You just forgot it. Things have been done in the past two days, so come and tell you."

"Okay, let's not talk about that much. The engine will be delivered in the afternoon and will be hoisted onto the No. 2 test drive platform. You can ask your people to prepare."

Ye Zhou looked at Chen Hao in a complicated mood. Of course, he would not refuse such an unexpected surprise, because for a project like Huashi, it would be a beneficial optimization if he could get a standard engine to calibrate. However, he thought that such an operation consumed too much resources and had limited room for improvement, so he did not force it.

But now it seems that the leadership team of the flower carpet project may pursue perfection more than him.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou quickly summoned a group of engineers in charge of the test drive table and gathered them together to prepare to start the debugging of the No. 2 test drive table. They were very nervous, but fortunately, with previous experience, the debugging work progressed very quickly.

At 4 pm, a ge-9x engine was indeed sent to the Liming Factory. Ye Zhou looked at the engine with emotion and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable expectation in his heart.

This is a pass-through experimental calibration, but at the same time, it is also a contest.

A battle between an original engine and its imitation version.

Following the engine was also an engineer who was specialized in charge of technology. After they handed over the engine performance data they had in their hands to Ye Zhou, they began to direct the preparations of the test drive table with him.

I worked until after 8 o'clock in the evening, the ge-9x was finally lifted and fixed to the No. 2 test drive table. The subsequent pipeline circuit connection work was the same as the No. 1 test drive table, so they didn't need to worry too much.

Ye Zhou looked at the tired engineer and said to them sincerely:

"Thank you for your hard work. Are you...Boeing's people?"

Hearing this, several engineers laughed, and Ye Zhou also realized that he was probably tired and stupid, so he asked such a question.

If they were Boeing people, they probably wouldn't even be able to enter the Dawn Factory gate.

Looking at Ye Zhou's awkward expression, one of the engineers quickly answered:

"We are not Boeing, but we are indeed one of Boeing's technical teams... Simply put, we are a team specially trained by them, but belong to the Air Force."

"Then do you know about ge-9x?"

Ye Zhou asked curiously.

The engineer shook his head and replied:

"We don't count as understanding. We only understand the performance parameters and some non-core problems in maintenance methods. If there is really a big problem, we can only return to the factory for repair."

"This process is very troublesome, and to be honest...it's also very dangerous, so we all hope that the domestic engine will be installed faster."

Ye Zhou nodded and answered while looking at the standard performance data of ge-9x displayed on the terminal:

"It should be very soon. After the ground and high altitude test runs are completed, you will basically be able to enter mass production research."

"That's great. So, how much can our engine reach ge-9x? Can it reach 50% in terms of performance indicators?"

"Ah? 50%? You guys...sorry, if you don't know the project details, I can't disclose it to you."

Ye Zhou was stunned by the other party's words, but then he realized that the other party's thoughts did represent the thoughts of most outsiders who did not understand the actual situation and only saw the official announcement.

In their eyes, no matter how much resources and technology are behind the Huacai project, no matter what kind of top tycoons are responsible for the project, long-term technical backwardness has limited their imagination and ambitions.

This is a very normal and completely reproachable mentality.

It’s not that they don’t want their country’s technology to be better, but they can’t believe that some things will be so good.

Just like when j-20 was released, a large number of people were questioning its authenticity, because at that point of view, something like j-20 was really too sci-fi.

It's like a product that does not belong to that era.

And now, the engine on the test drive next door is facing the same situation as the j-20.

Everyone knows that he is excellent when transferring to school, but no one thinks he can defeat the top academic masters in this class who have monopolized the top few.

A smile slowly appeared on Ye Zhou's face.
