Chapter 1851: I shouldn't talk too much

As Zhang Guanyu continued to narrate, Yang Xiaotao's originally serious expression became strange.

Because the coefficients Zhang Guanyu mentioned are wrong, it does not mean that those coefficients cannot be achieved, but that they can be replaced with better materials and go further on the original basis.

Originally, according to the coefficient requirements of turbine production, the TiG01 alloy discovered by the institute was able to meet production needs.

The people in the R&D department have already demonstrated this and believe there is no problem.

The workshop has also started production. If it weren't for the emergence of the thresher, it would have entered the processing stage by now.

It was during this period that Liu Daming and others were helping to produce threshers, giving them time to conduct in-depth research.

Then when Zhang Guanyu led people to compare the data, they found that the TiG01 alloy did not fully meet the turbine requirements, or in other words, they could use better materials to improve the turbine requirements.

In short, it is to increase the hardness on the basis of TiG01 alloy while keeping other coefficients unchanged.

The turbine strength thus obtained is higher than that in the original design, and is also better made.

This is a kind of progress.

When Yang Xiaotao heard it for the first time, he was also shocked.

You have to know that these drawings are all provided by the system. Logically speaking, as long as the coefficient requirements are met, there will be no problem and the AL-21 engine can be made.

This is the absolute main engine of the alliance in the next 70 years and it has been tested in practice.

Moreover, this is produced by the system, so there is absolutely no problem with the coefficient.

But Zhang Guanyu really found the problem and provided enough data to prove that he was right.

Prove that he is more powerful than the system?
No, it is not.

After a moment, Yang Xiaotao came to his senses. It was not that the system was wrong, nor that Zhang Guanyu found the error in the system.

It's this design that's wrong.

As Yang Xiaotao said, this is just the main engine of the alliance in the 1970s.

But what about after the seventies?

If we look at this engine again in the 1980s, wouldn’t there be a lot of problems?
With the continuous development of technology and the prospect of scientific and technological progress, the iteration of objects will become faster and faster.

And this engine will inevitably fall behind.

The fact that Zhang Guanyu was able to discover the problem in advance only shows that he worked hard on this research.

But this made Yang Xiaotao feel a little at a loss. He didn't know whether to praise him or criticize him for "causing trouble" to his comrades.

But overall, this is a good thing.

It is still something worthy of praise and worth learning for all researchers.

If everyone conducts in-depth research like Zhang Guanyu, then that little bit of improvement will drive overall progress.

Maybe, the HXJ-2 engine can be produced in a short time.

"You did a good job in this matter."

"Mr. Yang!"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hands, looked at Zhang Guanyu with an apologetic look, and said sincerely, "Don't worry, I really think you did a good job."

"The drawings I provided are just my ideas, and there are bound to be problems in some places."

"And discovering these problems is not only about being responsible for the task itself, but also about avoiding problems."

"It is also a form of protection for me. If there is a problem with the design, who will bear the consequences?"

After hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Zhang Guanyu understood that Yang Xiaotao had no intention of blaming him, and he felt more touched.

Mr. Yang is not someone who cannot listen to different opinions.

"Boss Yang, what about this turbine?"

Zhang Guanyu asked, pointing at the drawing.

"Needless to say, since there is a better option, why don't we use it?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the re-marked coefficients on the drawing and asked, "Tell me, what kind of materials are needed to meet this requirement?"

Zhang Guanyu felt reassured and spoke more fluently. "Here's what I think. Since TiG01 can meet our requirements, can we make some minor changes to it to make it better and meet our requirements?"

"This is a good idea, we can try it."

"Ok!"

With a goal in mind, Yang Xiaotao naturally had to take action.

Picking up the phone on the table, Yang Xiaotao called the steel plant and soon explained the situation to the old Taoist. Although he was not sure what the machinery factory was going to do, researching new alloys was the responsibility of the research institute, so the old Taoist did not ask much.

After Yang Xiaotao hung up the phone, he said to Zhang Guanyu, "Go to the research center later and tell them the requirements to avoid any mistakes."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Zhang Guanyu felt relieved and was about to get up and leave.

"Yeah. Any questions?"

"If you have any questions, tell us all at once. Maybe we can solve it in one go, and we don't have to make two trips."

Yang Xiaotao said this half-jokingly, and it was just a polite remark, but he didn't expect that when Zhang Guanyu heard it, he thought it was encouragement to him. This was what Mr. Yang said.

So, after getting Yang Xiaotao's affirmation, Zhang Guanyu immediately became active and expressed his thoughts during this period, "By the way, Mr. Yang, I have another idea."

"Look, this three-stage axial flow design, our first one is an air-cooled blade. I think we can add another stage and change it to a four-stage axial flow design. The first two are air-cooled."

"Also, this air intake is also OK."

The more Zhang Guanyu spoke, the brighter his eyes became, and the more inspiration came to his mind, but the more Yang Xiaotao listened, the more helpless he felt.

"Director Zhang, let's take them one by one."

"Let's get rid of the turbine first. As for the four-stage axial flow type you mentioned, it can be set as the next target."

Zhang Guanyu was interrupted by Yang Xiaotao, and then he realized that he had said too much, so he lowered his head and said "hmm".

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to be too discouraging, so he coughed and said, "What I mean is that you can learn from the experience of this research design and use your ideas next time."

Zhang Guanyu immediately looked up, "Boss Yang, are you saying that we will have another chance?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded and patted Zhang Guanyu's shoulder vigorously, "Who said this is just the first time for us?"

"Work hard, maybe the design used next time will be yours." When Yang Xiaotao said this, Zhang Guanyu immediately showed excitement, "Mr. Yang, don't worry, I will do my best."

"Well, come on, I'm optimistic about you."

Watching Zhang Guanyu leave excitedly, Yang Xiaotao slapped his lips vigorously, "I told you not to talk too much, I told you not to talk too much."

Needless to say, the other party must have taken it seriously.

Thinking about the various aircraft designs that might appear in the future, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but get a headache.

He had no doubt about the other party's enthusiasm or persistence.

Nowadays, there are many people who keep their identities secret and work hard for a problem for ten years.

"I hope this guy doesn't dive in and be unable to get out."

Yang Xiaotao thought about it in his mind, then stood up and walked out of the office.

As for the documents on the desk, let's talk about it in the afternoon.

In a workshop, Huang Degong was walking in the workshop, yawning and holding a kettle filled with strong tea.

Obviously, I have been staying up late a lot during this period.

"Mr. Yang!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming, Huang Degong immediately rubbed his cheek and walked over quickly.

"Old Huang, you have to take care of yourself."

"If you are tired, who should I ask to do the work? Am I supposed to do it myself?"

Yang Xiaotao walked up to him and saw him like this, and couldn't help but joked.

Of course, the concern in his words was genuine.

Only when his subordinates are hardworking and capable can he relax and do what he likes.

"Boss Yang, you don't understand Old Huang. When he was at the steel mill, he would work hard for three to five days without closing his eyes. He would still swing his hammer and go into battle without any delay!"

Huang Degong patted his chest to assure him. Yang Xiaotao patted this guy's chest and said, "That was in the past. You can't deny your age!"

Huang Degong smiled and then followed Yang Xiaotao around the workshop.

“Can the current production volume meet the task?”

Huang Degong nodded and said, "According to the current production efficiency, it will probably be completed in two days."

At this point, Huang Degong explained, "Now many workers from workshops three and four have come to help."

"The comrades are very enthusiastic and eager to work, and many are eager to come."

"I heard that Lao Wang and his team were so anxious to arrange staff that their mouths were bubbling."

Huang Degong smiled. Although the engine project was not completed, this thresher could provide enough food for the entire workshop.

He calculated that as long as the workers in the workshop could hold on, what they earned this month would be enough to cover their March wages.

With such high salary, you would be a fool if you don’t try your best to make a living.

"But thanks to their help, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to produce enough!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded and then reminded, "We still need to pay attention to the physical condition of the workers. The weather is hot, so be careful of heatstroke."

Huang Degong nodded, "The logistics department has prepared green bean soup and some ice water. By the way, according to the reminder of the comrades at the medical station, I have prepared some salt water..."

Yang Xiaotao listened on the side and then asked about the situation of the first branch.

Huang Degong didn't know much, but just said that the output was about the same as that of the workshop.

Huang Degong cares particularly about this point.

Even though a branch factory is a branch factory and has half the number of employees as a workshop, that is still all the employees combined.

If we really compare the number of people in the workshop, his workshop is no worse than theirs.

Moreover, compared with the quality, the number of level eight workers alone is equal to that of his entire branch, not to mention the average quality!
That's definitely a lot higher!
When it came to the last branch factory, Huang Degong initially wanted to give it a try, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that as a workshop director, he was no worse than the director of the branch factory!

More importantly, staying in the main factory allows me to be with General Manager Yang.

Nowadays, no matter how well you do, it is better to follow the right person.

I have been following Yang Xiaotao for these years and have made rapid progress.

As his status improved, he also received many honors.

In his words, he would not even do the job as a factory director.

Yang Xiaotao had no idea what Huang Degong was thinking, and was still walking in the workshop, checking the workers' production situation from time to time.

When it comes to the processing of parts, he can tell whether they are good or bad just by taking a glance.

Apparently, the average level of workers in a workshop is high enough and there are no problems with the parts produced.

After walking around, he finally saw Liu Daming and others busying around in the corner, and then he shook his head helplessly.

This internal audit work and the production of the thresher have slowed down the progress of the engine!

Many people were asked to work overtime, so no one was doing the work, so no matter how good the design was, it was useless.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao still lamented the lack of talent.

If there were a hundred or so more level eight workers, he wouldn't have to be so nervous.

Fortunately, Zhang Guanyu and his team found some work to do and temporarily maintained the R&D progress.

As for the material issue, let Zhang Guanyu discuss it with the United Star Research Institute.

If the problem can be solved quickly, use new materials to increase the hardness of the turbine.

If the problem cannot be solved, Yang Xiaotao will not keep waiting, as the TiG01 alloy is sufficient for production use.

But then again, the work of the United Star Research Institute is developing smoothly nowadays. Especially after several products were produced, it gave everyone confidence. With the strengthening of the recruitment of college students and the improvement of relevant professional knowledge, the research and development capabilities of the United Star were raised to a higher level again.

So this time, Yang Xiaotao had high hopes for the work of the institute.

The two were walking in the workshop, talking about production.

Secretary Xiao Qiang suddenly ran in from outside and shouted before he even got close, "Boss Yang, Director Yang and Secretary Liu asked you to go to the meeting room immediately."

When Yang Xiaotao saw him like this, he knew that there was something urgent, so he nodded to Huang Degong and walked towards the meeting room.
