Chapter 200 - Chapter 200: Problems With The New Engine

Technology is the world's leading!No one can extract and synthesize carbon fiber from crude oil waste in batches at least. At most, it can be done in the laboratory, and it cannot reach the level of mass production.Although there are many technologies that are at the world's leading level as China continues to catch up, it is also a happy event to have one more. What's more important is carbon fiber. Ordinary people know that it is an important composite material with a wide range of applications."You are great!"Deputy Ma smiled and nodded, highly praised, and affirmed the achievements made by others in high-tech: "I hope you can bring out more advanced technologies to benefit the people and further promote the development of our country.""We will!"Zhang Heng felt that he had said enough and there was no need to say more.A group of ten "130" people left Factory No. 1, and the access control was closed again.The next step was to visit other things. There was nothing much. Most of them were construction sites. They just walked around and looked around, and didn't stay for too long.The longest stay was in the Materials Research Center. The foundation had been laid long ago, and now it has several floors. The entire research center is circular, with a large garden in the middle.From the renderings, it is not difficult to see that after completion, it will be a very beautiful building, and the environment will be very beautiful, which is very different from some other research centers, institutes, or laboratories.However, there are benefits to building it this way. At least the researchers working here have a beautiful view. If they have no inspiration or are tired, they can go downstairs and walk in the central garden inside the building, which is very nice.Come to think of it, if it were somewhere else, they would want to build a few more laboratories and blend them into the entire research center. How could it be possible for someone as rich as Zhang Heng to empty the center and make a large garden?Come quickly, leave quickly!They are all well-known and high-ranking people. It is impossible for them to spend all their time here. Now that the ceremony is over and they have visited, it is time to say goodbye.Zhang Heng, the host, naturally sent them off warmly.But there was one group of people who did not leave, and it was none other than He Lantian."I think you can see that I came here for something."He Lantian naturally wouldn't say much in front of so many people before, but now that everyone has left, he can say: "There are two things next, which are relatively urgent.The first thing is your titanium alloy.We also know that you are very busy, but we have high expectations for you." "In terms of batches, no!"Zhang Heng shook his head, but he didn't look bitter, but smiled and said: "As for the samples, they have actually been made.I made them in the laboratory, and because I am too busy, I haven't tested them yet." "I don't have the relevant testing equipment yet, and I still need to send them to some laboratories for in-depth testing.But I feel, just my personal feeling, or it's an intuition, that it exceeds high-strength titanium alloys." "How should I put it? There is a value.I personally feel that it can exceed 1500 Pascals, and if it exceeds 1100 Pascals, it is already a high-strength titanium alloy."Zhang Heng was afraid that He Lantian would not understand, and he also specially introduced the quality standards of titanium alloys. "1500 Pascals?"He Lantian not only knows clearly, but also knows very well. He has served in the Air Force for most of his life. Liu Titanium Alloy is not unfamiliar: "Are you sure you can reach this value?""Intuition, my intuition is OK!" Zhang Heng said solemnly."Okay, give me the sample, I will arrange for someone to test it immediately."He Lantian was also very solemn. He said that he had placed great hopes on Zhang Heng before. It was not a joke, but it was true, because he had created many miracles: "If you can reach this value, it will be great.""But... it's far from enough!"Zhang Heng seemed to be able to see through He Lantian's mind and asked directly for him. He didn't care: "There is no test yet, and everything is uncertain. No matter how high the value it can reach, there are actually many problems."The first is the sample in the laboratory. You should know that being able to make it in the laboratory does not mean that it can be mass-produced on a large scale. The reason is very simple. There are complex processes between mass production and laboratory synthesis. ""We can't turn the production workshop into a laboratory, using the most advanced equipment. If that happens, the equipment alone will be scary, and the output will be scary low. Can we still mass produce it?""Well, even if these problems are not a problem, we can bite our teeth and produce in small batches if necessary, but what about the production cost? It is absolutely scary. It is possible that a ton of titanium alloy finished material may cost tens of billions.Zhang Heng smiled bitterly, and finally did not forget to add: "There is also instability, which is also a feature of laboratory samples. The values ​​fluctuate up and down, and the gap is large, which is another huge problem.""Indeed!"He Lantian had to admit that these were all existing problems, but he was not discouraged: "At least now in the laboratory, it has been successfully synthesized, isn't it?""This is good news." Zhang Heng also smiled."Okay, give me the sample later so I can take it away."He Lantian waved his hand and quickly moved on to the next topic: "The second thing is that we hope you can take time out as soon as possible to go to Chengfei Group.In addition to this trip, you also have to go to the Power Research Institute to discuss the new engine." "This..."Zhang Heng was a little embarrassed.He had promised this before, but he also left himself some time: "Is there any problem there?" "Yes!"He Lantian did not deny it, but nodded directly, with a heavy face: "It was found that there was great potential to be explored before, but in further testing, many problems appeared, one of the most fatal problems is life." "We have adopted the current very strong material, but found that its life is very short.It should not be, at least after supercomputing, it does not make sense, so some experts have raised the question of whether there is a problem with the overall structure after optimization, which leads to a significant decrease in the overall life?"He Lantian said. "This suspicion does exist and has some basis."Zhang Heng knew very well that an engine is a complex project, especially an aircraft engine. It is so complex and has so many parts. If there is a problem with any part, it will affect its life: "This... Give me a week, I will arrange the work here and go there immediately.""Okay, I will give you a week, and someone will come to pick you up in a week.""Okay!"
