Great Power Technology

After the storm basically subsided, Ye Zhou also completed all his preparations.

After basically learning the common sense about nuclear reactors, the research institute has finally completed its preliminary establishment, and today is the day when his research institute is officially launched.

The laboratories equipped in this institute mainly focus on inorganic solid materials, including a series of laboratories such as material synthesis laboratory, processing, test analysis, metallography, XRD testing and structural calculation.

As for those fields directly related to engines, such as aerothermal dynamics, combustion science, etc., both in terms of experimental facilities and personnel professionalism, they have extremely high requirements. From the beginning, he had no intention of putting them in his own research institute. Li Lai just asked Chen Hao to coordinate the cooperation of the most famous 606 Research Institute in the country and provide him with the conditions for trial production and experiments.

However, he also set up a special theoretical research and development department. In addition to scholars in the fields of basic mathematics, physics, and chemistry as peripheral consultants, he also recruited a large number of theoretical engineers in the field of aerospace development into the institute. The work is both simple and complex, which is to reverse engineer the GE-9X, thoroughly understand the basic principles of this engine, and then combine the engine technology with fluorescent iron materials to trial-produce a domestic engine with ultra-high thrust in one step.

At the opening ceremony, Ye Zhou did not deliver any exciting speech. He simply announced the future goals of the laboratory and then directly issued the first research and development task.

Trial production of star rock materials.

This is just a practice project, the purpose is just to make this institute operate stably as soon as possible and to improve the coordination of various departments.

Before that, he also completed the dismantling of the GE-9X drawings based on the knowledge instilled in the simulator. Once the Xingyan project is completed, he can put the theoretical research on aviation engines and the synthesis of fluorite on the agenda. .

The GE-9X design drawing extracted from the simulator was not as simple as a "structure drawing", but included hot and cold dual-state dual drawings, structural optimization MDO notes, tolerances, surface roughness, and material analysis of each component. Complete design drawings including reports and a series of other contents.

It can be said that with this drawing, domestic factories can 100% copy this engine after spending a certain amount of time.

However, this does not mean anything to Ye Zhou.

Because this is a commercial engine with a large bypass ratio, even if it is manufactured, it can only be used in the commercial field, and its role in promoting the development of domestic fighter and bomber engines is approximately zero.

What he needs to do is, on the one hand, organize engineers to reverse engineer this design drawing and figure out the principles of each design, so as to feed back key technologies to domestic engine design and manufacturing research, and truly create our own "dragon" "Heart"; on the other hand, find a suitable manufacturer to directly copy the engine, thereby relieving the urgent need for domestically produced large commercial aircraft.

So, this is a two-step strategy.

Engineers need to theoretically solidify every detail of the engine design, deduce the theoretical basis, and then make application suggestions.

The most conservative estimate of this process, without encountering any theoretical blind spots, is that it will take at least half a year, because the investment of manpower and resources cannot effectively accelerate it.

However, after entering the ground test phase, Ye Zhou had a way to improve efficiency.

It's also very simple, it's a saturation test.

Mobilize the power of all domestic enterprises capable of manufacturing aero-engines and carry out production and testing regardless of the cost. After all, it is a vital weapon of the country, and it is appropriate to spend excessive resources.

Of course, although this is said, the objective physical laws cannot be changed. The experimental process still needs to be calculated in months or even years. Even with the support of a national system like this in China, the trial production of a military aviation engine is conservative. It will take more than 6 months - this is an optimistic situation, and it must be based on the improvement and optimization of the existing engine, rather than developing a new engine from scratch.

The shortest development cycle for a reliable military aviation engine is more than 120 months, while the development cycle of the Taihang engine is as long as 27 years, which is enough to illustrate the difficulty of engine development.

As for replicating the engine, Ye Zhou plans to choose one between Fengfei and Shufei. They should be the only domestic company capable of replicating this GE-9X.

According to his estimate, the time for the first copy will not be too short, but because of the almost impeccable drawings, it will not be too long either.

An optimistic estimate would take about two months, which is already considered extremely fast.

After all, GE can only deliver about 2,200 aircraft engines a year, and that was only achieved when the manufacturing process was extremely mature.

Ye Zhou's goal is not to realize the assembly line production of engines. He only needs to watch the first engine complete the ground test and reach the standard for commercial use, and then he can let it go. As for the subsequent aerial experiments and mass production work, that is not what he wants. Questions to consider.

Let the official worry about it, he has more important things to do, which is to complete the plot simulation of all stages of Dragon Heart and get the final reward.

According to the completion prompts of the simulator at that time, Dragon Heart should be divided into five stages of simulation. Now he has completed two and the third has been started. He just needs to work harder and quickly pass the three, four and five stages. stage, you can see the final reward.

He was curious what the final reward would be.

Judging from the current situation, the simulator brought him technological rewards in the near future, and the simulated scenes all came from the past or present. However, the plot of the third stage has expanded the time span. According to this speed, Extrapolating, the fifth stage of simulation is likely to occur further in the future.

Correspondingly, the gap between the rewarded technology and the current technology should continue to increase.

Could it be something like a warp engine?

If it were true, it would be a lot of fun.

An ordinary fuel engine, no matter how advanced it is, can be built with all the efforts of the whole country, but if it involves a leap in theoretical physics, it is not a matter of gritting one's teeth.

You can't build it even if you grind your teeth to pieces. You have to start from the underlying theory and climb up the technology tree step by step.

Ye Zhou shook his head. Based on the current situation, the person or organization that gave him the simulator would not do such nonsense.

After the hanging ceremony, he greeted all the staff and left the institute alone.

The final location of the institute was some distance away from where Chen Hao had found him, but he didn't want to take a car, he just wanted to walk alone.

There were many thoughts swirling around in his mind, and the one that confused him the most was why he should put applied technology in a higher position than theoretical science.

This question was raised by the female political commissar when Chen Hao first arrived at the chip project headquarters, and at today's listing ceremony, someone asked this question again.

He didn't answer at that time because he didn't think clearly.

But now, after walking a long way, he thought clearly.

Because we cannot afford to wait, and China cannot afford to wait.

No matter how awesome a theoretical breakthrough is, it will take a long time to achieve application. So what if the simulator gives him a unified theory?

The common man is not guilty, but the gem is his fault. Once such a strategic theoretical breakthrough occurs, the enemy will inevitably attack in groups regardless of the consequences.

Unless you don’t use it, because as long as you use it, you can’t hide it.

Do you have to hope that after your enemies see that you hold the bright future of mankind in your hands, they will extend a friendly hand to you and say, "We are all human beings anyway, let us work together to realize a community of shared future"?

impossible.

Even if you are just your neighbor, if you tell him that this land is about to be demolished and we are about to achieve common prosperity, he will not stop fighting with you for the three inches of land under the roof.

This is the law of the dark forest between big countries - even if 100% full communication can be achieved between complex animals like humans, mutual suspicion and hostility will always exist.

Therefore, the only correct way should be to maximize the current theoretical science, apply it all in reality, and then use the limited generation difference advantage to achieve global hegemony.

After that, it’s time to consider how to go to the sea of ​​stars!

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou suddenly had an idea.

What if we already have those theoretical breakthroughs, but cannot bring them out because of our current strength?

Thinking of this, his pace involuntarily accelerated a bit.

Thanks to the leader of Yusheng Changkongxin for the reward!
