Chapter 959: Jewels All Over the Ground Without Knowing It (Fourth Watch, Second Shift)
"Boss, I have a friend who wants to sell me something......"
Among the experts who were abducted from Russia's major automobile factories, the one who said that he wanted to use his cross-era chassis technology to develop the world's most advanced military truck. Primakov, who developed a heavy truck, said to Lin Hongfei.
"Oh, what's that?" Lin Hongfei was a little curious, but only a little curious, he didn't take Primakov's words seriously, "How much?" ”
"A high-strength titanium alloy rod is a high-strength sub β stable titanium alloy with a tensile strength between 1100MPa and 1400MPa at room temperature," Primakov glanced at Lin Hongfei cautiously, "There are less than 5 tons in total, and my friend plans to sell it to me for $1 million." ”
"Puff......" Lin Hongfei squirted out a sip of tea.
A titanium alloy, well, even if it is a high-strength titanium alloy, less than 5 tons, dares to ask yourself for 1 million dollars...... Is that bastard crazy? Lin Hongfei was a little annoyed, and his first reaction was that Primakov's friend wanted to cheat a sum of money from his hands.
As an engine designer who deals with various metal materials and alloys all day long, I have never heard of and come into contact with titanium alloys, but I have never heard of such a high price for titanium alloys.
In fact, because of the low density, light weight, high strength, high temperature resistance and many other characteristics of titanium alloy, he has always been a favorite material for designers who deal with metal materials, but now it is almost impossible to get titanium alloy in China, if Primakov's friend even sells these things to Lin Hongfei at the international market price, Lin Hongfei does not care, but even in later generations. The price of titanium alloy is between 200 and 400 yuan per kilogram, and the price per ton is only between 30,000 and 60,000 US dollars, and that bastard dares to offer himself a price of 200,000 US dollars per ton...... This is naked > naked to slaughter yourself as a son and a sheep!
Lin Hongfei, who only cared about anger and annoyance, forgot one thing: it was 1993.
In 1993, titanium alloy has not been widely used, 1993 is different from 2010, titanium alloy has not been widely used, the price is also high, 17 years later, although the price of titanium alloy is still very high, but designers have been able to use it relatively "luxury". But now it's 1993...... 17 years is enough time to change a lot of things.
Looking at his boss, who was furious because he didn't know what he was doing, Primakov suddenly felt a little panicked.
Although he didn't know why his boss was so angry, as long as he knew that his boss was angry, he quickly explained to his boss. "Boss, these five tons of titanium. There are Ti13V11Cr3Al sub-stable titanium alloys with tensile strength of 1350MPa at room temperature β There are Ti15V3Cr3A13Sn titanium alloy plates that can be cold-formed, and Ti8V6Cr4Mo3A14Zr sub-stable β high-strength titanium alloy rods that can be used for springs and fasteners; There is also Ti10V2Fe3Al near-β high-strength titanium alloy, this Ti10V2Fe3Al near-β high-strength titanium alloy has excellent forging process performance, is a forged titanium alloy with high structural benefits and high reliability, it can work for a long time below 320 °C, and can be used to manufacture various important stressed structural parts in aircraft landing gear and fuselage and wings. ”
The other Lin Hongfei didn't know what to do. But as long as this thing can be used to make aircraft landing gear and fuselage, and various important stressed structural parts in memory, this aerospace-grade titanium alloy is much stronger than the ones used in later generations, at least the ones you use are not things that can be used to make this kind of thing.
This aerospace-grade celestial alloy, $200,000 per ton, is really not expensive at all. Because this thing is a strategic control material at all, you may not be able to get a good thing if you have money.
Lin Hongfei, who was still angry just now, suddenly disappeared without a trace, and asked Primakov with wide eyes and a happy face, "Old Ma, what you said is true?" How did that friend of yours get his hands on such a thing? What's the matter with this guy? ”
Although I wondered a little in my heart that my boss didn't care about this batch of titanium alloy materials, but was obsessed with how his friend could get this thing, but for Primakov, this was actually a good thing, which meant that he had the opportunity to show his energy in Russia, and immediately said, "Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, this friend of mine worked in the research and development department responsible for developing a subsystem of the Buran space shuttle. ”
Lin Hongfei immediately understood, the 5 tons of aerospace-grade titanium alloy are the raw materials prepared for the research and development of the Buran space shuttle, but before the Buran really entered space, the powerful Soviet Red Empire collapsed, the Buran was eclipsed, and the chaos caused by the collapse of the Soviet Union also made it possible for the five tons of titanium alloy to be revealed.
"Give it to him!" Lin Hongfei waved his hand without hesitation, "Primakov, the friend you told you, I don't care how he got this batch of titanium alloys, you tell him, no matter how many of these things he can get, how many I want!" Also, all the materials related to the space shuttle Buran, as long as he can get his hands on it, I want it! ”
"Huh?" Primakov opened his mouth wide and was stupid.
The changes before and after this were a bit big, and Mr. Primakov was a little unable to adapt to it for a while.
"As for you, Mr. Primakov," Lin Hongfei glanced at Primakov, "You know the company's rules, as long as you can assist the company in buying these things, the company will pay you money in accordance with the prescribed proportion, and we have a happy cooperation in this matter." ”
These are metal and non-metallic materials that can be called national treasures, Lin Hongfei has never expected to be able to get this kind of thing, but since he has the opportunity, he has to get it desperately.
Just like those who see the carving materials of Haolu will meet Hunting Xinxi, and even give others free "part-time" in order to be able to carve this raw material, for a designer, seeing Haolu materials will also make them see Hunting Xinxi, and even work day and night without sleep and food, Lin Hongfei is the same, this is a full 5 tons of aerospace-grade titanium alloy! It is a treasure that can be met but not sought, just like the greatest hope of a person who plays jadeite in this life is to have a small piece of imperial green jadeite even as big as a fingernail.
"......" Primakov opened his mouth wide, his face had changed from the previous shock to a happy smile, he didn't care so much, he had lost the faith to fight for, and now he knew that if he could do what the boss asked for, he could get a lot of money, a lot of money.
Stunned, Primakov finally reacted, and hurriedly patted his chest to show his loyalty to Lin Hongfei, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely bring you enough metal materials, I swear!" ”
Lin Hongfei waved his hand, and his whole person was immersed in the joy of getting something good, just like a child getting his favorite toy.
For designers, they don't actually worry about design, as long as they can put forward a goal, without considering the material, they can always design a design drawing that meets the requirements of the goal, but whether the design drawing can be turned into a physical object is limited by a very important thing: materials.
As a designer, Lin Hongfei is also deeply troubled by materials, obviously he has a better design, but limited by the problem of the material itself, he has to choose a sub-level or even a sub-two-level scheme, as a designer, there is nothing more painful for them than this, but now, if they have these aerospace grade precious materials in their hands, is there still this shackle?
"Didn't Volkswagen invite us to the Sao Paulo International Motor Show in November?" A demon-like smile suddenly appeared on Lin Hongfei's face, "Then we will do what they want...... I'll give them a big surprise and hope they like it. ”
Yes, he is already planning to surprise Volkswagen with a big surprise at the São Paulo International Motor Show in Brazil.
…………………………………………
Primakov's recommendation to himself this time also reminded Lin Hongfei, and he suddenly realized that he had ignored a big market before: among the large military equipment such as aircraft fuselages, abandoned aero engines, and abandoned large internal combustion engines that have been discarded by the former Soviet republics in recent years, there are many good things that money can't buy......
Boss Lin's collecting habit popped up when he came up: If you don't take advantage of this time to collect the rags, do you wait for everyone to react before you do it?
But obviously, Boss Lin's collecting habit is not something that can be understood by others, especially the person who Lin Hongfei imagined to do this, the fat man looked at Lin Hongfei with wide eyes, his eyes were full of worry, "Hongfei, did you hit your head somewhere, otherwise how would you think of going to Maozi to collect the rags?" Why don't I take you to the hospital for a check-up, the level of our domestic hospitals is not good, I will take you to France and Germany, and if you can't check it out, the United States will be fine......"
Lin Hongfei interrupted the fat man's words with tears and laughter, although the brotherhood of the fat man made Lin Hongfei feel very comfortable, but at this time, when he said this, he had to make the fat man understand how important it was to him to let him do this, "Fat man, you don't understand, what I value is not these rags, what I value is the metal materials in these rags...... Let me put it this way, if we produce the materials of the turbojet engine on a scrapped fighter jet, it will cost at least a thousand yuan per kilogram, but we will collect scrap products, and it will not exceed 20 yuan at most. ”
At the corner of the fat man's mouth, there was a crystal of saliva flowing down...... (To be continued.) )
