Great Power Technology

As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the small room, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

The man in Chinese tunic sitting in the center smiled and said:

"Issuing medals to him will not come from your system? Don't forget, I am the leader of the sedan project leadership group. You are rushing to issue medals to him before I even open my mouth?"

"Then what's the point of sending one! Just send it again!"

The man in military uniform replied nonchalantly, then walked back to his seat and sat down again.

The man in Mao suit looked at his expression and smiled helplessly, and replied:

"It's not impossible for you to post one, but don't make a big deal about it and keep it low-key. Also, after the main topic is over later, we will also have a serious discussion about what kind of reward we should give him this time."

"Since the beginning of the chip project, we have not actually given Ye Zhou any actual rewards. Although his status and decision-making power within our organization are constantly rising, we still don't care enough about his life. This time we have not given him any actual rewards. Let’s make up for it by the way.”

After hearing this, the man in military uniform said in agreement:

"It's time to reward him. But to be honest, there is nothing worthy of his achievements. When the time comes, don't say it is a reward, just say it is the organization's concern for him. .”

"To be able to achieve his level, I guess what he cares about is not the reward, but the recognition. Just like when we fight a war, the spoils are secondary. After winning the battle, the recognition of the people of the organization is the main thing."

The man in Chinese tunic suit nodded and replied:

"What you said makes sense. Xiao Qin, write this down first. Okay, let's discuss the main topic now: Now that the high-thrust engine has come out, how will the Nantianmen project and our military aviation development route be followed? Let’s start with the experts, Mr. Liu, you go ahead.”

The man named Liu Xuefeng, one of the top experts in the field of aerospace engineering research in China. He sat up slightly and said:

"To be honest, this sedan project far exceeded my expectations. Our previous judgment was that the first prototype could have a maximum thrust of 50 tons. Under extremely optimistic circumstances, it would be considered good to reach 60 tons. "

"I didn't expect them to achieve the final goal of the project in one go. I didn't even take this figure of 120 tons into my mind before."

"So, because of this situation, many of the plans previously conceived by our expert group have basically failed."

"For example, we previously thought about transplanting this engine to Kunpeng, and we envisioned many plans. Now it seems that we have to re-plan. Kunpeng's fuselage structure needs to be redesigned. Otherwise, if this engine is installed, It is estimated that a little bit of afterburner pushed the plane to supersonic speed."

"Now the total thrust of our four WS-20s is less than 60 tons. If we want to replace them all with Qilian engines, the total thrust of the four WS-20s will be 360 ​​tons."

Speaking of this, Liu Xuefeng shook his head and joked a little funny:

"How about replacing the fuselage with steel plates? It is estimated that it can withstand supersonic speeds. If the world's first large-scale supersonic heavy transport aircraft has two more cannons, it will not be the same as what their young people said on the Internet. 59 Has it gone to heaven?”

Everyone else in the room laughed. After a pause, Liu Xuefeng continued:

"Seriously, based on the results of the sedan project, I now have a few preliminary ideas, but they were all thought of in a hurry. We can discuss them later."

"First of all, as I said, the Y-20 will definitely use this engine. Therefore, we need to comprehensively improve its fuselage structure and build it into a platform-type aircraft, especially Focus on modular design so that it can undertake not only transportation functions, but also aerial refueling, combat and other functions."

"For specific reference directions, we can touch the stones of Chou Country and copy their AC130."

"The second point is that the reverse engineering of the Qilian engine needs to be started immediately. We need to copy the key technologies of the engine and apply them to small bypass ratio engines - the turbofan 18 project can apply these results."

"Our goal is to use the technology accumulated in the Qilian engine to improve military engine technology as quickly as possible, surpassing the F135-PW-100 engine in a short time in the future, and the thrust target must reach more than 30 tons."

As soon as he finished speaking, a member of the expert group raised his hand and interrupted:

"Is the 30-ton thrust target a bit too far ahead? How long do you plan to set for this short period of time?"

The thrust of an engine with a small bypass ratio is different from that of an engine with a large bypass ratio. The current F135-PW-100 engine, the most advanced engine in the world, can only reach about 20 tons of thrust. Therefore, the goal of 30 tons of thrust is not easy. --Even with the bonus of Qilian's technology accumulation.

"The goal of 30 tons is indeed very challenging, but Ye Zhou has paved the way for us. Are we so unsatisfied? Isn't it? We have to be ambitious!"

"Short term means within six months! By September this year, we must see the new engine on the car!"

"The current fuselage strength of the J-20 is sufficient. After being equipped with a 30-ton engine, it can fly at Mach 3.5. Coupled with the star rock coating of the Sanchi Research Institute, the heat insulation problem is not big. I think it can Give it a try!"

After answering the question, Liu Xuefeng continued:

"I have a third idea, which is relatively advanced. I think that in addition to our Kunpeng platform, the large aerial platform mentioned in the Nantianmen plan can also start to be designed."

"It doesn't mean that results will be produced in a short period of time, but it means that it needs to be started, so that in the end, if the engine is available but the platform is not set up, it will be very frustrating."

"Okay, that's all I'll say for now, let other comrades express their own opinions."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the tea cup and moistened his throat, looking expectantly at the other expert panel members.

However, his plan has basically covered most of the short-term directions based on the Qilian engine, and others have nothing to add.

Looking at the silent crowd, the man in Chinese tunic suit coughed and then said:

"Mr. Liu's plan is very good, down-to-earth, steady and professional. I think his thoughts also represent the thoughts of most comrades in the expert group."

"But I personally think these plans are a little bit conservative for us overall."

"Of course, I am not accusing you of being short-sighted here, but I want to express my thoughts from a global perspective."

"First of all, we still stick to the same idea. If we want to do something, we must do big things! We must not be timid or look forward and backward."

“Secondly, our vision should not be limited to the Nantianmen project. It is true that the Nantianmen project is a mature, complete and highly forward-looking project, but this does not mean that it can cover all aspects of the development of the aviation industry. direction."

"We need to liberate our minds, fully think and try. So, in these short ten minutes, I mainly envisioned the following directions, and asked the comrades of the expert group to evaluate the feasibility."

"The first point is that the Qilian engine cannot be used only in the military field. We must promote it to the civilian field, develop our own commercial large aircraft, and establish our own routes."

"Now, we already have a maritime Silk Road. If we can gain a leading edge in the aviation field in the future, then we can build our own aerial Silk Road."

"The second point is that we must quickly start upgrading and transforming current projects, especially the strategic bomber project. We need to make two preparations. First, a hypersonic strategic bomber based on Qilian technology; second, a hypersonic strategic bomber based on Qilian engine itself. Super-large payload stealth bomber.”

"According to Lao He, the former is used for kicking the door, and the latter is used for covering."

"The third point is that we must continue to optimize the Qilian engine, further increase the engine thrust, use the combined assembly of rocket engines and aero engines, develop our own space shuttle as soon as possible, in parallel with the Tiangong Project, and use the fastest speed to establish our Advantages in Space.”

"The Nantianmen project will take another 25 years. We can't wait until we learn somersault clouds before taking the path of learning."

"Starting today, we will make full use of current technology to lay the first step for the future Nantianmen project."

"The stars and the sea are right in front of us. At this step, we have to go out now!"
