Great Power Technology.

Chapter 304 Smell Danger in Advance
July 6, Rongcheng.

After Ye Zhou and Chen Hao handed over the gene editor and the gene map to the relevant departments through the General Technical Office, he received a call from Feng Fei.

On the phone, the person in charge of Liming Aviation confirmed that the Qilian-02 engine had passed the high-altitude test and completed its first flight test.

The test aircraft is a C959 large civil airliner, equipped with two Qilian-02 engines, with a maximum take-off weight of 327 tons and a maximum range of 24000 kilometers. Compared with the Boeing 787-8, its overall performance has improved by more than 50%.

But this does not mean that this large aircraft will be commercially available immediately. To be truly applied, it still faces a relatively long stage of safety testing.

However, from the perspective of performance alone, this C959 has broken many records of the world's largest aircraft.

In addition to the civilian field, the modified Qilian-03 engine will also be used in the new model Yun-20. Everyone is eager to see what changes this engine with a peak thrust of 130 tons will bring to the Yun-20. in anticipation.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao on the side asked:
"Is it news from Feng Fei?"

"Yes, it's about the Qilian engine. The high-altitude test run has been completed, and the flight test has also been preliminarily completed. Mr. Tian Ye can rest assured."

Chen Hao nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"From the official test run of the Qilian engine to the present, most of the technologies have basically been thoroughly understood. Next, we may begin to welcome a stage of explosive development of aircraft, including the next generation of air superiority fighters, strategic bombers, transport aircraft, and civilian airliners. developed."

"You are in Shufei every day now. You should know more about their research and development progress than I do. As far as I know, Turbofan-25 is coming out soon, right?"

"Well, it is estimated that there are still a few days left, and we will enter the ground test drive."

"So fast??"

Chen Hao's eyes widened in surprise.

The work of aviation development is not under the control of the General Technical Office, so he didn't pay too much attention to it-now the Chief Technical Office has enough work, and he really can't tell so much energy.

"It's not too fast. It's been three months since the previous version of the turbofan-15 was modified, and with Xiongda's technical support, a new model in three months is not a particularly bizarre thing. "

"However, what I am worried about now is not the issue of development, I am more worried about the application scenarios of this engine."

"We have just replaced some of the J-15 in active service with the WS-25 modification. If there is no problem with the WS-[-] modification, it is a big question whether to equip the current model first or the next version. .”

"Now the iteration of aviation development is too fast. Often a product has just matured, and the next product will emerge. Generally speaking, the resource consumption is very large. The practicality is not bad, but it has not reached the best. cost-effective."

Chen Hao nodded in agreement, took out a bottle of water from the small freezer on the car and handed it to Ye Zhou, and then replied:
"This is normal. Our silicon-sulfur battery project is also facing this problem now-it's not good if the technology is too advanced. Every time we understand a part, a product will be born, and this product will be sold. One version is quickly eliminated."

"The most important thing is that before we fully understand the technology, we don't know whether the product on hand can represent the full potential of the technology."

"So, in such a process, waste is also a very normal thing."

"You don't have to think too much about this matter. Think about it in another way: the 'waste' we are talking about now actually refers to not achieving the highest efficiency. To illustrate with a very simple example, after buying stocks, Instead of waiting for the highest point to sell, they kept selling on the way up.”

"There are pros and cons to this strategy, but if you want to manage the risk reasonably, it's definitely the best option."

Hearing Chen Hao's words, Ye Zhou sighed and replied:
"I know that's the case, but people's hearts are not enough. I definitely hope to achieve the best result in one step."

"Then you might as well just hope that tomorrow we will build the luanniao platform."

Chen Hao said with a slightly teasing tone.

"I really hope so"

Ye Zhou smiled, and suddenly seemed to think of something, looked at Chen Hao and continued to ask:

"How is the nuclear engine project going?"

"It's still in testing, and I'm currently trying to integrate the thorium-based molten salt miniaturization technology you provided earlier, and it's expected to produce results within two to three months. At that time, it will be tested on a small aircraft first--there is a high probability that it will be bombed -6 platform test."

"When the flight is stable, the next iterative update will be carried out, and finally it will cooperate with the airframe plan test that Shufei is currently doing. This process is relatively long, and the time is calculated in years."

"Three years, can a mature prototype be built? I mean the engine part."

"It's definitely not a problem—judging from the current progress, in five to six years, the first generation of Golden Crow will be able to go into space."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou felt a little surprised.

According to his estimation of the Nantianmen project, even if he sprints for the Golden Crow project with all his strength, under the current technical level and manufacturing level, it will take at least 10 years to complete the first test flight of the Golden Crow, but the information given by Chen Hao is not. Much faster than he expected.

After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"The progress is so fast, is it because of Mao Zi's intervention?"

Chen Hao nodded and replied:
"Yes. The design concept of the Jinwu itself is very similar to that of the Tu-160, including variable wings, hypersonic cruise capability, and overall aerodynamic design. In fact, there are places for reference, so in their technology With support, our time to read documents has been greatly reduced.”

"Mao Zi is really not good at this, especially those experts in the field of applied mathematics. It was really the right choice when we reached an agreement to let Xiongda participate in the project."

"It's really not a loss. But we still have to keep it secret. I don't want to see them test the Golden Crow before us."

"Don't worry, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible."

Chen Hao replied firmly.

Ye Zhou looked at his face, sighed deeply, and turned his head silently.

As Chen Hao said, a product explosion is about to occur in the domestic aviation field, especially in the military aviation field, and it is impossible to completely conceal this product explosion.

Such information, coupled with the previous navy's electromagnetic gun, the upcoming No. 003, and XAC's next-generation early warning aircraft, all new technologies and new equipment will have a huge impact on Ugly's global military dominance , and this shock is likely to shake their position as the number one.

Kissinger once said that whoever controls oil controls all countries; whoever controls currency controls the world; and whoever controls food controls all mankind.

And now that two of the three basic elements he proposed have almost changed hands and the military's status as a guarantee is in jeopardy, then
A bright light suddenly flashed in Ye Zhou's mind.

The talent of the decision maker took effect again, and he was keenly aware of the crux of the problem.

Now, only the food field is left, and the opponent still has an absolute advantage.

So since this is the case, the opponent will never let go of the opportunity to use this advantage to completely turn the tables.

The next wave of conflicts is likely to happen in the food field!
Thinking of this, Ye Zhou looked at Chen Hao again, and said with a serious expression:
"Isn't there going to be a meeting tomorrow to discuss the application layout of the three routes? I want to add a new topic and add the content of food security to the conditions affecting genetic engineering!"

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Chen Hao was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized the danger.

Yes, affected by many factors, international grain prices have started to rise. Just yesterday, the futures price of wheat has risen by 2%.

Something is wrong with this momentum.

He frowned and asked:
"Do you think that the other party may make a fuss about the price of food?"

"It's not my opinion, but it's inevitable! They will definitely make a fuss about food prices, and their first move is likely to be in Yindu!"

"Yindu's wheat production has increased for three consecutive years. If the operation is started at this time, the other side is likely to gradually erode the entire Yindu grain market."

"You have to know that Yindu doesn't have any food reserves—if we let this momentum continue, our opponents will definitely use Yindu as a springboard to attack us!"

"We have to make preparations in advance, otherwise it will be too late when the attack starts!"

Chen Hao nodded slightly, then directly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the Chief Technical Office.

After the call was connected, he said in a steady and low tone:
"Tomorrow's meeting will add a new topic, about food security."

"Yes, that's right, urgently invite relevant contacts, and then let them participate in the meeting in sections!"

"Yes, including China Grain Reserve! Tell them, no matter what the reason is, I must see their top decision-maker present at the meeting tomorrow morning!"

"If someone doesn't accept it, you should find their branch organization, find that person named Liu Zhengyu, and tell him that this is Suiren's request!"

　Today is still a weekly supplementary sleep time, one chapter will be updated first, and the rest will be updated before 12 o'clock.
