Great Power Technology

After leaving the laboratory, Ye Zhou went to the platform department office again - mainly to find Xu Lei, but Xu Lei had already gone home from get off work, and only Wan Zhou was still in the office.

"Why aren't you off work yet?"

Ye Zhou looked at Wan Zhou who was reading a book at the desk and asked curiously.

Hearing Ye Zhou's voice, Wan Zhou quickly put down the pen in his hand, stood up and replied:

"Gong Ye, I just came back from dinner and will be back from get off work in a while."

"Well, go back and rest early. We don't advocate working overtime."

As he spoke, he took a closer look at the book Wan Zhou was reading. The words "Aviation Engine" were clearly written on the upper left corner of the page.

"Do you understand?"

Ye Zhou asked.

"To be honest, Ye Gong, I don't really understand it. I just memorize it by rote. I have a concept in my mind. I can barely understand what technologies are involved and which aspects are difficult. But if you want to understand the difficulty level of each technology, it is estimated that It won’t be possible in the near future.”

"It doesn't matter, this is a long-term job, you can spend your time, as long as you can do it in the end. I am not trying to make you an expert in aviation development, I just want you to have a basic judgment on the contributions of experts. .do you understand me?"

Wan Zhou nodded, indicating that he understood.

In fact, she had roughly guessed what Ye Zhou wanted to do since Ye Zhou first told her that this administrative platform position had technical requirements and asked her to be responsible for personnel-related matters.

He wants to completely break the current situation in many domestic R\u0026D departments where laymen lead experts.

A common problem in domestic research departments now is the separation of administrative staff and technical staff.

Those engaged in administration have the right to allocate resources and benefits, but they do not know which areas need more resources and which people need more rewards. Technical personnel know this information, but often cannot effectively express their voices. .

This has resulted in many researchers who have made significant contributions not receiving the rewards they deserve.

Of course, the greater the achievement, the lower the probability of this happening. Top-level researchers do not have this kind of trouble, and the most miserable ones are grassroots and middle-level researchers.

Therefore, we can often see Wushuang national scholars receiving the best treatment in China, which makes people full of confidence in the government and believes that as long as it is beneficial to the country, the country will reward them heavily.

But at the same time, it is undeniable that there are also many cases in which mid-level and grass-roots scientific researchers have become resentful and even left the country because they did not receive due attention and courtesy.

This is an objective fact, and the fundamental reason for this fact is the separation of administrative power and technical rights.

Requiring administrative staff to have the most basic technical concepts is the first step in breaking this situation.

"Just understand. When the platform personnel expand in the future, you must cooperate with Xu Lei to ensure that the managers with authority must at least have technical literacy. I will not allow laymen to command experts in my institute."

"I understand Ye Gong, don't worry."

Ye Zhou nodded, turned and left the research institute.

The purpose of coming to the institute today is mainly to confirm that the institute is operating well and to arrange the overall direction for the follow-up.

According to the information Chen Hao gave him, the aviation development project, or the "bridal sedan" project, has been approved. Next, he will most likely need to follow up and be responsible for the entire process and monitor the imitation work of the GE-9X engine on site. This means that he may be in charge of the project. In the next two or three months, he will not appear in Shencheng.

Because none of the companies he could choose were in Shenzhen.

Either go to Shucheng or go to Fengtian.

In fact, Ye Zhou already had a plan in mind, but for prudent reasons, he still needed to organize a discussion meeting to finalize the final participants of this project.

After returning to his home, he used the shortest possible time to organize the project documents, including a complete set of drawings of the GE-9X, project plan, capital budget and other information, and then sent them to Chen Hao.

In the budget column, he ruthlessly filled in a figure of 20 billion. This number can no longer be described as an exaggeration. After all, the entire Taihang engine project has spent more than 100 billion over the past few decades, and the Taihang project has only Developed independently from scratch.

However, if you think about it from another perspective, for such a project that is sure to produce results, 20 billion does not seem so outrageous.

As he expected, Chen Hao simply replied with a "good" word after receiving the message, without any doubts about his plan.

Ye Zhou closed his computer and prepared to spend his few leisurely weekend nights.

On the other side, at the Chip Project Joint Command - now the Sedan Project Joint Command, Chen Hao is showing the documents sent by Ye Zhou to domestic experts in related fields who have been convened in advance. They will evaluate the project this evening. Feasibility, and list the project participants.

"Everyone, this is the document sent by Ye Zhou. I have no relevant technical background and I need you to evaluate it."

"The documents have been distributed to you, in the file bag in front of you. Please note that the confidentiality level of this project is: Top Secret 3, and the document confidentiality level: Top Secret 2."

"All our discussions are limited to this conference room. After leaving the conference room and until the project team enters the closed management stage, all participants must wear full-time monitors and keep the monitoring channel open."

"This process may last 3 to 5 days. If it is unacceptable, please leave now and do not touch the confidential portfolio in front of you."

In fact, what Chen Hao said is just a routine procedure. Everyone in the conference room has been strictly reviewed. Being able to sit here means that they cannot give up.

Although the details of the project have not yet been announced, everyone knows that this time it is going to be an aerospace engine, and the leader is the young man who led the chip project team to break the international chip monopoly a month ago.

He has already created a miracle, and this time, there is likely to be another miracle.

With such an opportunity in front of them, these somewhat fanatical scientific researchers simply cannot resist the temptation to seek knowledge. Not to mention full-time monitoring for 3-5 days, even if they are asked to strip naked and run around naked on the street, it is estimated that There are many people willing to do it.

After a minute's pause, seeing that no one left, Chen Hao said:

"Okay, now please open the file bag in front of you. The discussion will begin in one hour."

Everyone in the conference room took action one after another, and the sound of turning pages was heard in the conference room.

A moment later, the first exclamation broke the silence in the conference room.

"Fuck! This is the blueprint of the GE-9X engine!"

The person who spoke was a relatively young researcher. He was wearing a military uniform, his fingers were trembling slightly, and his eyes radiated a fascinating light.

He had coveted this engine for too long.

GE-9X is the pinnacle of the world's commercial aviation engines. It has a thrust of 70 tons and uses extensive use of composite materials and carbon fiber materials. Its fuel efficiency is more than 10% higher than that of GE90. More importantly, this engine is not just a pure commercial aviation engine. It also has supersonic design potential.

As long as mature modifications are carried out, it means that it is very likely that the glory of the Mao Xiong White Swan Tu 160 can be copied in China.

Supersonic bombers, who doesn’t love them?

The old man beside him glanced at him and then said:

"Don't make a fuss, look at your pictures carefully and see if there are any technical blind spots!"

"The content of these drawings is very complete, especially the thermal diagrams, which have many details and need to be looked at carefully."

The man in military uniform nodded sheepishly. The moment he saw the drawing, all the blood in his body rushed to his brain. He was indeed overreacting.

After calming down a little, he felt the weight of this document.

This is not at all a "preliminary drawing" as Chen Hao said before.

This is a guide to teach you how to build a GE-9X from scratch.

The hundreds of pages of documents record all the design details and technical parameters of this engine in detail. Even the raw material composition layout of the fan blades is accurate to the square centimeter.

With this material in hand, there is actually no technical blind spot at all.

Because they don't need to know why - just copy the homework.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and asked Chen Hao to speak. After Chen Hao nodded, he said:

"Let me tell you my preliminary judgment first. This drawing is more of an industrial production flow chart than a drawing. As long as you follow the steps and design details step by step, it is not difficult to create a replica - you Look, even the tolerances are marked for us.”

"However, I think our goal should not just be to build it, but to understand it thoroughly and understand its design principles and the design ideas of each part. This will be of great significance to our own engine research and development work in the future."

After listening to his words, Chen Hao shook his head and replied:

"No, we just need to make imitations this time."

"Why?"

"Because the reverse engineering work you mentioned has already been done by someone."

"It's Ye Zhou's Sanchi Research Institute."

There are two more chapters expected today
