The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 140 Hafnium Carbon Alloy [Please order complete data]

Some scientists have even come up with fantastic ideas: They think that the problem of establishing a communication channel between the missile and the outside world may be solved through a long antenna protruding from the warhead.

The solution is: when the ballistic missile re-enters the atmosphere and prepares for the terminal attack, a metal antenna protrudes from the front of the warhead cone. This antenna is like a submarine periscope, directly covering the plasma sheath in the black barrier area. Punctured...

The idea looks beautiful.

Really silly actually.

Because the thinnest plasma sheath is only tens of centimeters.

It can even be ten meters thick.

There's no way an antenna like that can pierce the plasma sheath!

Not only can it not be punctured, the antenna itself cannot withstand the heating caused by the aerodynamic effect at all, and will melt almost instantly!

After all, under the aerodynamic effect, the temperature will rise sharply to more than 2,000 degrees in a short period of time.

Therefore, both of the above methods have been passed.

After Zhang Zhipeng studied all the previous research results, his eyes were fixed on two methods.

The first method is to develop a new type of high-temperature resistant material. If a new type of high-temperature resistant material can be developed and made into paint and applied to the outside of the missile warhead to reduce the high-temperature plasmaization of the warhead metal, then it may be possible to wrap the warhead with The outer plasma sheath is much thinner.

The second method is to place sensors in the missile to detect the density of plasma based on the properties of plasma, dynamically adjust the frequency of electromagnetic waves, and build communication channels flexibly.

These two methods are still feasible.

However, it is also very difficult!

It’s easier said than done to develop a new type of high-temperature resistant material!

That's really quite difficult.

How many materials experts have worked in the laboratory for many years, but they may not be able to come up with a high-quality high-temperature resistant material!

This second method also requires superb professional knowledge in radio, and only after careful and hard exploration can you find a way.

However, either of these two methods alone cannot solve the problem.

Zhang Zhipeng felt that these two methods should be launched at the same time, and then it would be possible to solve the problem of the black zone.

He first began to focus on the development of new materials.

Naturally, he is not an expert in materials science.

However, he had also directly upgraded his skills in materials to advanced levels before.

After advancing to the advanced level, the research on new materials has unlimited innovation possibilities.

Zhang Zhipeng also knows that there is no special trick to developing new materials.

In fact, it’s just an attempt!

Try more and make more mistakes.

Then, success is possible.

Some people have tried tens of thousands of alloy methods before they can find a correct formula for a new alloy with great uses.

Again: scientific experiments are really boring.

Zhang Zhipeng dived into the laboratory and began to conduct high-intensity experiments.

The advantage he has over other materials scientists is that he is more delicate and sensitive.

He has a very keen sense of the proportions of alloys.

But even so, it still took him about twenty days to finally synthesize an alloy material that could withstand ultra-high temperatures.

This alloy material is made of hafnium, nitrogen and carbon combined.

Through a certain ratio and a certain process, this synthetic material can withstand super high temperatures of 4000 degrees or more!

The most critical point: this alloy material is very stable under high temperatures!

Zhang Zhipeng was very excited to come up with such a material that can withstand ultra-high temperatures.

Because its uses are really very broad.

Not only can it be used in aerospace, but it can also be used as an industrial refractory material.

After developing materials that can withstand ultra-high temperatures, Zhang Zhipeng is now more confident.

He struck while the iron was hot and began to study how to create a stable communication channel between the missile and the outside world by changing the communication frequency and other means.

Regarding radio communications, Zhang Zhipeng is already very professional. After all, he has already completed the early warning aircraft radar and electronic warfare equipment before.

His understanding of radio communications was probably unparalleled.

Therefore, this time, he had a much smoother time solving this problem.

In just ten days, he solved the problem of establishing a stable communication channel in the black zone during the experiment.

Of course, this is only a solution in the experiment, and the specific details need to be verified.

Zhang Zhipeng personally simulated the environment of a ballistic missile re-entering the atmosphere and encountering a black barrier zone in the laboratory.

Then in the experiment, he successfully achieved stable communication between the "missiles" in the black barrier area and the outside world.

Several trials were carried out, each time with success.

Only then did Zhang Zhipeng call Zhao Bingkun that he had solved the problem in the black zone.

Zhao Bingkun was surprised and happy when he heard the news!

Because, only a little over a month has passed in total!

Zhang Zhipeng actually solved such a big problem?

If someone else told him that he had solved the problem in the black zone, Zhao Bingkun would definitely not believe it!

However, it was Zhang Zhipeng who told him the news!

Nowadays, Zhao Bingkun has become superstitious about Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "Comrade Zhipeng, you are really amazing!"

"I'll take someone over for inspection right away!"

"If the problem in the black zone is really solved!"

"Then all the problems will be clear, haha!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Thank you, Director Zhao, for the compliment. I think I am simply lucky!"

"To be honest, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time."

"I'm a little unsure now!"

"How about you bring some experts in materials and communications?"

"Let them test it carefully to see if I really solved the problem, haha!"

Zhao Bingkun said: "Comrade Zhipeng, you! You are just too humble!"

"As for experts who are better than you, are there any experts in our country? There really are none!"

“There are indeed several big names in materials science in China, but they haven’t solved the problem of rhenium single crystal blades!”

"In terms of communications, you are the absolute authority! Among the experts in the country, who can compare with you? Look at the electronic jamming pod you developed, it stunned everyone in Robin!"

"Okay, I'll take people there right away!"

Zhao Bingkun arrived in Chang'an that day.

He also brought dozens of experts in materials science and communications.

These experts are among the top talents in the country.

They were all still a little confused when they were summoned.

what happened?

Accept the results of breaking through the black barrier zone?

It seems that there is no need for material science acceptance, right?

Also, in the past twenty or thirty years, some people have been working on the black zone.

In the past two years, more and more people have done it.

I have never heard anyone say that I want to break through.

Now, Zhang Zhipeng has actually solved the big problem of the black zone?

Zhao Bingkun led a large group of people directly to the laboratory of the Department of Materials of NPU where Zhang Zhipeng was located.

Today, Zhang Zhipeng is a special presence at NPU.

He can borrow laboratories from any department.

Moreover, the borrowed systems were very happy.

After all, whenever Zhang Zhipeng borrows, he usually works on projects with professors in his department.

Those professors who can get involved in Zhang Zhipeng's project mean that they are infinitely close to a big result.

After Zhao Bingkun saw Zhang Zhipeng, he gave him a bear hug and said with a smile: "Comrade Zhipeng! If the black barrier area is really solved, then we are really not far away from kicking Robin's ass! Ha ha!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Director Zhao, let's test my results first!"

"This is how I solved the problem..."

Zhang Zhipeng introduced his method of solving the black zone.

Later, he showed his related development results.

Mainly hafnium carbon alloy and a set of miniature communication equipment installed inside the ballistic missile.

When he said that the hafnium carbon alloy he had made could withstand high temperatures of 4000 degrees, Zhang Zhipeng and others all exclaimed.

"No way?! It can withstand temperatures of 4000 degrees?" Li Zhongming, chief designer of Dongfeng Express, questioned.

Li Zhongming is a missile expert, so naturally he came with him this time.

In fact, there were more than a dozen astronauts who came with us.

After all, they are the ones who care most about the Black Zone.

If this black zone is solved, it will have the greatest impact on aerospace.

Zhang Zhipeng glanced at Li Zhongming with a smile and said, "Teacher Li, I know you won't believe it, haha!"

"Because, when it first came out, to be honest, I didn't really believe it."

"Why don't we test it, okay? Come and test it yourself!"

Li Zhongming smiled and nodded and said, "Okay! Then I'll give it a try." "Actually, I have great faith in Comrade Zhipeng!"

"Because, in the past few years, you have proven yourself too many times!"

"There are so many impossible things that you have proven to be completely possible!"

Zhao Bingkun said: "Hurry up and test!"

"I'm impatient and just want to see the results quickly!"

Li Zhongming walked to the test stand with a smile.

If you want to achieve a high temperature of 4 degrees in the laboratory, you will definitely need special equipment.

In the laboratory, there are usually two types of equipment specifically used to obtain ultra-high temperatures:

They are electric arc furnaces and plasma furnaces.

Electric arc furnace, as the name suggests, is a furnace that uses electric arc to heat metal.

This furnace can create high temperatures of over 4 degrees, and there is no metal in the world that it cannot melt.

A plasma furnace is a device that uses high-temperature plasma to heat materials.

In a plasma furnace, high-temperature plasma can reach temperatures as high as tens of thousands of degrees!

Heating it to 4 degrees is just like playing.

Li Zhongming was surprised when he saw the electric arc furnace in front of him: "The electric arc furnace you have here seems to be different from what everyone commonly uses..."

Most of the electric arc furnaces currently used in domestic laboratories are imported from abroad.

Because it can’t be manufactured in China yet!

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "I made it myself!"

"Because the original electric arc furnace in our material department is broken."

"It will be very expensive to import it again."

"I just said, how about I help you make another one."

"I helped them develop one again."

This time, Chen Kainan, the head of the Aerospace Technology Company, also came. He said with emotion: "Is there anything in this world that Comrade Zhipeng cannot do?"

"I just feel like he can do anything! And he can do everything well."

Everyone also echoed the words one after another.

To be honest, an outlier in the scientific community like Zhang Zhipeng is very jealous of his colleagues.

Because he is so capable.

It seems that everyone else is too incompetent.

However, fortunately, Zhang Zhipeng is relatively good at being a good person.

Therefore, his popularity is actually quite good.

Zhao Bingkun laughed beside him and said, "Seriously, when Comrade Zhipeng said he would have a baby, I wouldn't be surprised either, haha!"

Zhang Zhipeng quickly waved his hand and said, "Director Zhao, don't make it difficult for me to give birth to a child."

"I said, let's quickly test the hafnium-carbon alloy that my team and I developed together."

Li Zhongming began to operate the equipment himself.

He discovered that the electric arc furnace made by Zhang Zhipeng was really easy to use, much better than the ones imported from abroad.

Because it is very smart and even has an LCD to display various data.

Li Zhongming tested it himself, while others watched carefully.

Several people held their breath.

Chen Kainan's face was even filled with nervousness.

He was really a little nervous.

Because if this new material that can withstand temperatures of 4 degrees is real, it would be a great thing for aerospace technology!

Li Zhongming was very neat and tidy in conducting experiments.

While he was doing it, the people next to him had already seen the results and parameters of the experiment.

"I'll go! It really doesn't melt at 4 degrees!"

"The new material that can withstand high temperatures of 4000 degrees is going to cause another sensation in the scientific community! This is the most significant discovery in materials science in the past century!"

"Alas! I didn't mean to say that European and American scientists could win the Nobel Prize just for this discovery!"

"Congratulations to Comrade Zhipeng! You have achieved another great achievement!"

The people next to me were chattering away.

Zhao Bingkun was a little absent-minded: "This alloy is really good!"

"However, I want to see how to break through the black barrier area and establish a communication channel with the ballistic missile."

"This is what I care about most. Haha!"

Li Zhongming said to Zhao Bingkun: "Director Zhao, this new high-temperature resistant material is very useful in solving black barrier areas."

Zhao Bingkun said: "I know this. Comrade Zhipeng explained it just now!"

"It's better we get straight to the point."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "I know Director Zhao is impatient, so let's start the experiment."

"This time, let's ask a radar communication expert to do this experiment with me!"

"This time the test will use a plasma furnace."

Luo Zhizhong, director of the 607 Institute on the side, smiled and raised his hand to volunteer: "Let me assist Comrade Zhipeng in this experiment!"

Luo Zhizhong is an expert in radar communications. He previously collaborated with Zhang Zhipeng when developing domestic pulse Doppler radar.

After that cooperation, the two became good friends.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Comrade Zhizhong will lead this experiment, and I will help from the side!"

"If there is anyone who is willing to do experiments together, they can come forward."

Immediately, several more radio and radar experts came forward.

Everyone began to experiment with breaking through the black barrier area and establishing communication channels.

The experiment used a plasma furnace.

The plasma furnace in this laboratory was obviously modified by Zhang Zhipeng himself.

Generally speaking, the environment created is exactly the same as when a ballistic missile encounters a black barrier area and is wrapped in a plasma sheath when it re-enters the atmosphere.

The experiment begins.

Everyone was watching nervously.

The temperature of the plasma surrounding the simulated ballistic missile warhead model in the plasma furnace is quite high...

The barrier formed by the plasma sheath is very dense, almost as if it has formed an energy shield...

However, the missile warhead model is coated with ultra-high temperature-resistant hafnium carbon alloy, and the warhead seems to have not deformed.

The experiment is proceeding smoothly.

In fact, it didn't last long. After the simulated communication signal was turned on, it quickly connected with the communication equipment in the simulated warhead.

Moreover, the connection is very smooth and the signal is relatively strong!

Luo Zhizhong was naturally very surprised: "Ha! It really worked!"

"We really broke through the black barrier and were able to successfully communicate with the equipment in the warhead."

Zhao Bingkun's eyes widened and he asked: "How does this simulated experimental environment compare with the real environment?"

Luo Zhizhong said with a smile: "Director Zhao, it can be said that the environment of the simulation experiment is almost exactly the same as the real environment. In fact, the situation is even worse."

When Zhao Bingkun heard what he said, his face relaxed and his eyes showed joy: "Ha! It seems that Comrade Zhipeng has created a miracle again this time!"

"The black zone problem is finally no longer a problem!"

"Li Zhongming, with the help of Comrade Zhipeng's development results, when will you be able to produce the anti-ship Dongfeng Express?"

Li Zhongming was also very excited. He immediately puffed up his chest and said, "Director Zhao, I think we can use the original missiles for modification!"

"If it is a transformation, the speed will be very fast!"

"Of course, I think we still need Comrade Zhang Zhipeng's help and guidance!"

Zhao Bingkun nodded, turned to look at Zhang Zhipeng and said, "Comrade Zhipeng, please work harder!"

"If there is someone who needs your help, Comrade Zhongming, you should also provide help!"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, Director Zhao!"

“I can help wherever I can, anytime, anywhere!”

Zhao Bingkun waved his hand and said: "Let's do it. In the next period of time, you can go to Dongfeng Express Production Company and keep an eye on this matter with Li Zhongming!"

"I hope we can test Dongfeng Express's use of aircraft carriers as soon as possible!"

"If successful, we will open a new page in asymmetric warfare!"

"Our area denial is going to be a huge success!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Okay!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Just like that, Zhang Zhipeng went directly to the mountains of Beijing with Li Zhongming, because the factory of Dongfeng Express was there.
