Why did Russia break through restrictions on supplying heavy engines to China? Because Russia knows that the so-called Chinese engine has power shortcomings, this bottleneck will not be an eternal obstacle for China!
Just last year, the Russian joint engine company suddenly announced that it would increase the supply of heavy gas turbines and aircraft engines in China, the news came out, and many people who care about international cooperation have been a little surprise.
To know, the Russian side has had reservations on the export of this type of high-end equipment, after all, heavy engines, whether they are used in the energy field gas turbines, or aircraft engines on large aircraft, are real "technical hard currency".
We all know that China in the field of engines has indeed had a period of pursuit. in terms of heavy gas turbines, in the previous years, large domestic power plants, many core equipment has to rely on imports, not because we do not want to make ourselves, but the technical threshold of this thing is too high, from high-temperature resistance materials to precision leaf processing, each link must rely on long-term accumulation.
Likewise in the aviation sector, the engines used for large transport aircraft and passenger aircraft, the requirements for propulsion and stability are extremely strict, and in the past we have indeed had a shortage in this area.
But Russia’s willingness to break the boundaries is clearly not just seeing our weaknesses, but more importantly, they see our potential.
Over the years, China's speed of progress in the field of high-end manufacturing has been seen. said aircraft engines, China Naval Group has been coming to good news over the years, independently developed CJ - 1000A engines have completed several tests on the C919 passenger aircraft, although there is still a distance from large-scale commercial use, but this catch has made many countries look at.
In the field of heavy-duty gas turbines, companies such as Shanghai Electric and Dongfang Electric are also making breakthroughs. Last year, independently developed F-class heavy-duty gas turbines were successfully connected to the grid to generate electricity, and the power generation efficiency reached the world's advanced level.
Moreover, from the perspective of cooperation, Russia now has its own considerations. In recent years, Russia has been hoping to find more stable partners in energy and equipment exports. As the world's largest energy consumer and manufacturing country, China is obviously one of the best choices.
Previously, China-Russia cooperation in the field of natural gas has been deepening, the Siberian power pipeline can deliver large quantities of natural gas to China each year, and the cooperation of heavy engines is equivalent to complementing the two fields of energy and high-end manufacturing.
China needs advanced engines to meet today’s demand in the energy and aviation sectors, while Russia can gain stable financial and technological cooperation opportunities through exports, a win-win cooperation that is clearly much more expensive than unilateral restrictions.
More importantly, the Russian side is well aware that China's shortcomings are only temporary.These years, China's investment in research and research has grown, and in 2023, the national R&D funding spending exceeds 3.3 trillion yuan, accounting for the share of GDP to 2.55%, and the number of researchers in the field of high-end manufacturing is also in the world's top.
Just like in the fields of high-speed rail and 5G before, as long as we identify a direction, we can always achieve breakthroughs through continuous investment.
Russia now chooses cooperation, which can not only gain practical benefits from cooperation, but also lay the foundation for future technical exchanges. If we wait until we fully achieve independent breakthroughs and want to establish such in-depth cooperation, there will not be so many opportunities.
In fact, from the perspective of international cooperation, this cooperation based on strength and potential is the most stable. In the past, some countries have always thought to curb the development of others through technological restrictions, but China's development history has proven that any shortcomings are only temporary.
As before in the field of chips, we have also faced a lot of restrictions, but now the domestic chip manufacturing technology is not also breakthrough?
The same is true in the field of heavy engines. Now we solve the current needs through cooperation, and at the same time speed up the pace of independent research and development. When we truly achieve full independence, we will have more say in international cooperation.
Now Sino-Russian cooperation in the field of heavy engines has gradually landed, and many Russian companies have begun to establish joint R&D centers in China, not only selling products, but also participating in technical exchanges.
This cooperation mode can not only enable us to master advanced technology faster, but also promote the upgrading of related domestic industries. After all, the real development of a big country is never built behind closed doors, but learned through cooperation and surpassed through learning.
Nevertheless, although there is now the technical support of the Russian side, but our independent development can not stop at all. after all, the core technology is only in our own hands, can truly not be restricted by people.
Seeing us in the engine, I don't know if we have ever thought, until China's full field of progress, then think about the future possible comprehensive breakthrough of independent development and large-scale application of heavy engines, the international high-end equipment market pattern will not see new changes?
