Fortunately, Lin Hongfei did not dwell on this issue, he changed the topic, "Mr. Acton, after you go back, please ask Mr. Ma to come back, I have some work to arrange for him." ”

The boss didn't dwell on this issue, Jessica and Acton were relieved, and when they heard the boss's words, Acton nodded hurriedly, "Good boss, there's no problem, I'll inform Mr. Ma as soon as I go back." ”

As for what Lin Hongfei did when he asked Mr. Ma to come back, Acton didn't ask this question at all...... Since the boss doesn't say it, it's definitely a question that can't be asked.

"Jessica, there's something for you." Lin Hongfei groaned for a moment, turned his head to Jessica, and said.

"Boss, please command." Jessica was suddenly shaken, the boss had been communicating with Mr. Acton just now, although she knew in her heart that the weight of the aviation industry was heavier in the boss's heart, but she was still a little uncomfortable: any subordinate wanted to have a heavier weight in the boss's mind, the reason was simple, this was her own value.

"After I go back this time, you can help me collect some 3D printing information and technology, and if possible, it is best for us to collect some talents in this area."

"What?" In the face of Lin Hongfei's words, Jessica looked confused, printing she naturally knew what the Tao was, it was what the printer printed, but what is 3D printing?

Lin Hongfei realized that he knew what 3D printing was all about, but for the vast majority of people in this era, they had never even heard of this term, and it seemed that Jessica was no exception, so she had to explain to her, "To put it simply, compared to the traditional two-dimensional printing on paper, there are two axes. 3D printing is a three-dimensional, three-axis, can be used to print different things with different printing materials......"

Seeing that Jessica was still confused, Lin Hongfei simply gave her an example, "For example, in the traditional manufacturing industry, we need to manufacture a part with a more complex shape, according to the traditional manufacturing process, we first need a piece of raw material, through forging, milling, grinding, heat treatment, welding and a series of other processing methods to get this desired thing." But if we have 3D printing technology, we only need to input the 3D data of this part into the computer connected to the 3D printer, and then prepare a bunch of extremely fine raw materials, and the 3D printer will print out the parts we need layer by layer according to the data, well. The accuracy of this 3D printing device is extremely high, often in the micron ......"

"Oh God!"

didn't wait for Lin Hongfei to finish speaking. Acton cried out. He is engaged in the aerospace industry, and after his boss gave this example, he was immediately keenly aware of the application of 3D printing technology in the aerospace industry: in the traditional aerospace industry manufacturing, the waste of materials is not something that ordinary people can imagine, and in order to process a weight of more than 100 kilograms of parts, at least more than 2,000 kilograms of raw materials are often required. The rest is lost in the processing process of this part, but if the part is "printed" with 3D printing technology, then the more than 100 kilograms of parts only need more than 100 kilograms of raw materials. And the most important point. Since the accuracy of this 3D printing equipment is at the micron level, it means that 3D printing is much better than traditional manufacturing in terms of cost, speed and accuracy, and because it saves a lot of links in the processing and manufacturing of parts, even the problem of quality control has become much simpler than before.

"Boss, we need this thing, we must vigorously develop this 3D printing technology," Acton, who was keenly aware of the prospects of 3D printing technology, excitedly shook Lin Hongfei's hand, "I am sure that 3D printers have good development prospects in the manufacturing industry, and I am also sure that a lot of 3D printing products are needed in the aviation manufacturing industry, and 3D printing technology itself is very suitable for large-scale production...... If we apply 3D printing technology on a large scale, with my years of experience in the aerospace manufacturing industry, I can guarantee that the overall manufacturing cost of our aircraft will be at least 30% lower than that of other manufacturers, and at the same time, it will have higher manufacturing efficiency! ”

Jessica covered her mouth tightly, her little face full of shock and ecstasy.

Although she didn't understand her boss's words at first, but now, with Acton's addition, if she doesn't understand again, it can only be said that there is a serious flaw in her IQ.

"Okay, boss, I'll book a plane ticket back to the United States right away," Jessica is also a decisive person, realizing the importance of 3D printing technology, she immediately made a decision, "We must master this technology, this technology will be our company's core competitiveness in the future!" ”

Lin Hongfei also believes that 3D printing technology will be the core competitiveness of his company in the future...... The premise is that his company can really master 3D printing technology, Lin Hongfei in the previous life, after 10 years, began to try the application of 3D printing technology in internal combustion engines, and tasted a lot of sweetness because of this, but because it was too late for him to realize this, he could only spend a lot of money to buy other people's finished products, but now, this situation will not be the case, but despite this, Lin Hongfei still warned Jessica to be careful, "If I am not mistaken, 3D printing technology should be studied at the University of Texas at Austin, but it seems that DARPA is involved in it, Jessica, you have to be careful when you come into contact with them. ”

“DARPA？” Jessica frowned, "What kind of institution is this?" ”

It's no wonder that Jessica doesn't know which unit is the abbreviation of DARPA, but there are too many units in the United States that use English initials as their logo, especially some special departments, and Americans themselves are confused.

"DefenseAdvancedResearchProjectsAgency," Lin Hongfei said, "I usually call them the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and it seems that this project is sponsored by DARPA." ”

Poor Jessica covered her mouth tightly again, she never thought that this 3D printing technology would be favored by the US military, but at the same time, it also strengthened her determination to make a difference in this area: even the military is optimistic about Lu's project, is it still bad?

————————————————————————

With Lin Hongfei's sentence "If you don't come for three days, you will bear the consequences", the Ukrainian people came quickly, and even before the third day was over, Ukraine sent Igor, the secretary of the Minister of Industrial Policy of Ukraine and the plenipotentiary representative of the trip, to contact Lin Hongfei.

Facing Lin Hongfei, the super-rich man, Mr. Igor, who was about to lose his pants, was very nervous, although he was trying to make himself look proud, but there was always a feeling that he could not become an anti-dog, "Mr. Lin, you got in touch with us through the embassy and said that there is a big business to cooperate with Ukraine." ”

"Yes," Lin Hongfei nodded, he didn't greet Igor for too long, and went straight to the point, "As far as I know, Ukraine has excellent achievements in large gas turbines, right?" ”

"Of course!" Speaking of this, Igor was full of pride, "Our Ukrainian Shuguang Machinery Design and Manufacturing Bureau is one of the three major large gas turbine manufacturers in the world, Mr. Lin, do you want to buy a large gas turbine?" If this is the case, as an old friend, we can give you a very good price. ”

It can be seen from this that the Ukrainians are indeed poor and crazy, otherwise they would not be so impatient, Lin Hongfei didn't say anything, and Igor couldn't stand it himself.

"No, no, no, I want more than just gas turbines," Lin Hongfei shook his head, "Mr. Igor, I want to know, how is your country in terms of gas-steam turbine combined cycle power generation equipment?" ”

"Gas-steam turbine combined cycle power generation equipment?" Igor was stunned for a moment, and then his face was a little embarrassed, "This ......"

Among the republics of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine is unique in terms of gas turbines, aero engines and large aircraft, and the gas turbines developed based on aero engines are naturally quite good, but there is almost a blank in terms of power generation equipment, not to mention gas-steam turbine combined cycle power generation equipment, which is highly technical and efficient power generation equipment.

"Okay, I know, Your Excellency's expression has already told me the answer," Lin Hongfei sighed, his expression very disappointed.

Igor was in a hurry!

Although Ukraine does not have gas-steam turbine combined cycle power generation equipment, since he is the secretary of the Minister of Industrial Policy of Ukraine, he naturally knows something about this gas-steam turbine combined cycle power generation, and naturally knows that among this kind of power generation equipment, the gas turbine in front is the most important thing, and Ukraine is very poor now, and anything that can be sold for money, even if it is the president's underwear, as long as someone can afford it, they will not hesitate to sell it. Since even the president's underwear can be sold, how could Igor watch such a large piece of fat slip away from his eyes?

Immediately, he said, "Mr. Lin, please forgive me for saying that although we in Ukraine are not good at gas-steam turbine combined cycle power generation equipment, our large gas turbines are the most cost-effective among all the large gas turbines in the world, I think, we can have a good exchange on this problem, or have other solutions?"
