Chapter 108 A project with a bad name

That night, Ye Zhou called Chen Hao and explained his problem. His description of the problem was very simple, with only a dozen words.

"Is it possible that a nuclear reactor suddenly explodes in a deep subcritical state without any abnormalities?"

"Help me ask domestic nuclear physics experts. Urgent, wait online."

Chen Hao on the other side of the phone was silent for more than ten seconds, and then asked:

"Do you think your problem can be solved by waiting online?"

"Of course I know it can't be done. When I said waiting online, it was just an exaggeration. Can't you hear it? Don't you like to use exaggerations?"

".You have a pretty good memory. Okay, I understand. When I get up tomorrow morning, I will send your question to someone to help you. In addition, didn't I assign you two nuclear physics researchers? What are you doing? Don’t you ask them?”

"I asked, and they said they didn't know."

"They are both relatively senior researchers in the field of nuclear physics in China. If they don't know, I doubt whether there is an answer to this question. But it doesn't matter. Even if there is no answer, I will try my best to find someone to explain it to you."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Chen."

".Why do you also call me Boss Chen? Did you learn from Wan Zhou?"

Ye Zhou shook his head subconsciously here, and then replied:

"No, I heard that people in the agency call their leaders boss. Now that you are my leader, isn't it normal for me to call you boss?"

"You are really going to leave me speechless this night. Stop being so glib. It's time to rest and go to bed early. I've been busy with chips these past few days. I finally calmed down a bit today. I have to go to bed quickly."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou became interested. He stopped Chen Hao who seemed to be about to hang up the phone, and then continued to ask:

"How is the chip project going now? Is it going well?"

"I'm almost done here. Basically everything is starting to get on track. It's just a matter of gradual development. I estimate that in a while, this temporary headquarters will be disbanded, and I will go back to my State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Secretary goes."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou was happy at first, but then he frowned and discovered the problem.

It is certainly a good thing that the domestic chip industry is on the right track, but it is not a good thing for Chen Hao to return to the SASAC as secretary!

With him gone, if someone is replaced in the future who is not so easy to pluck wool, wouldn't his research institute be greatly affected?

Thinking of this, he immediately said:

"Would you like to take on a new project?"

"What project?"

Chen Hao on the other side had a calm tone, as if he had already guessed that Ye Zhou would say this.

"Domestic commercial aviation project, the kind with super thrust."

"How big is it? 40 tons? 50 tons?"

Ye Zhou smiled and replied:

"100 tons."

"100 tons??"

Having said this, Chen Hao on the opposite side finally seemed a little surprised.

He had long known that Ye Zhou's research institute was established for aviation development, but he really didn't expect that this kid's appetite was so big.

Directly 100 tons? The current single-machine thrust of GM's large aircraft engines is only about 60 to 70 tons. The peak thrust of the GE-9X is only 70 tons. The thrust of the domestically produced turbofan-20 high-bypass-ratio engine is only a pitiful 16 tons.

You want to build a 100-ton thrust engine when you come up? Where to do it? Go pick it up on the ground?

——

It seems that it is not impossible.

I almost forgot that the young boy opposite me actually had another identity, that is, the mysterious "Sui Ren".

Thinking of this, Chen Hao's mood suddenly calmed down.

"100 tons seems a bit big. Are you sure you can do it?"

"I'm not sure, but the 70-ton level is stable. We can trial-produce one first."

"Do you have design drawings and process drawings?"

"It's more or less the same. It still needs optimization, but it's basically capable."

Ye Zhou replied humbly.

"Okay, I'll submit the information. How can I cooperate?"

"Just like the chip project team, unified management, unified resource scheduling, small steps and fast progress, and strive to see results within half a year."

"I understand, I'll do it."

Listening to Chen Hao's matter-of-fact tone, Ye Zhou was a little curious as to why he could be so calm, but then he was relieved.

Nothing he does is not beneficial to the country. In this case, the other party has nothing to ask.

Even if he said that the design drawing was sent by the God of Wealth in a dream yesterday, Chen Hao would probably only say something like, "Oh, that's it, then thank the God of Wealth for us."

After a few pleasantries, Ye Zhou hung up the phone, and then started calling Xu Lei to ask about the situation in the institute and how everyone performed on the first day of work.

"The equipment and materials are basically in place. In the afternoon, Wan Zhou and I organized a brief introduction for everyone, and then everyone started working."

"The Xingyan project team held a meeting. I will send you the minutes of the meeting later. Their goals are very clear and the steps are also very clear. After all, they are trial-producing the formula, so it is not difficult for them."

"This little girl Wan Zhou is very nice. She is willing to learn and positive. I feel pretty good."

Ye Zhou hummed and continued to ask:

"How long does it take for Xingyan to produce the finished product?"

"The plan given by the project team is one week. In fact, according to their roadmap, one or two days is enough. The remaining time is the time they set aside for testing and optimization."

"Okay, I understand. I have some other things to do in the past two days. I will let you and Wan Zhou keep an eye on the research institute. She is inexperienced, so you can let her take care of things in the early stage."

"I understand Ye Gong, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."

After that, the two hung up the phone. Ye Zhou stood by the window and thought for a while, and finally decided to rest this night.

Don't think about anything else, let's watch a movie.

Now that Chen Hao has been told about the aviation development, judging from his own experience, the project team can be established within a week at most. By that time, he will be facing an unusually new battle.

So, give yourself some rest before that battle begins.

At the same time, at the joint headquarters of the chip project team, Chen Hao was reporting the latest progress to his superiors in the video conference room.

Opposite him was still the star emblem man, but at this time the man no longer had a serious expression. When Chen Hao talked about Ye Zhou, a smile of relief would occasionally appear on his face.

"The situation is probably like this. Ye Zhou wants to build a high-thrust aircraft engine. According to him, the thrust can reach 70 tons, and the target is 100 tons."

"Also, he probably already has the drawings, but I don't know how detailed the drawings are."

The star emblem man nodded slightly and said:

"According to the way he did things before, if he wasn't 100% sure that he could make an engine based on the drawings, he wouldn't have said it so early."

"This time he may bring us new surprises."

"Anyway, I have approved the proposal to set up a project team first. The project will be established today. We will communicate about the specific follow-up matters."

"You will continue to be the person in charge of the project team. Pay attention to strengthening security and confidentiality measures. Aviation development is not something like chips. It's just that the research is okay. If the outside world knows that our research has achieved results, it is very likely that It’s going to cost people’s lives.”

"Understood, don't worry, leader."

"Well, I feel safe with you now. Go ahead."

The video hung up and Chen Hao returned to his office.

Two hours later, a document was delivered to him.

Confirmation letter of XX commercial aviation engine project.

The name has not yet been decided, but he knows that the blank space in front of the commercial name is reserved for Ye Zhou to write.

He sent the message to Ye Zhou, who responded instantly.

On November 25, the aviation development project was officially approved, but the name of the project that Ye Zhou chose made him a little confused.

It's called "bridal sedan".
