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

Chapter 80 Prospecting [Seeking data for reading]

Hearing the pager hanging on his waist ringing, Zhang Zhipeng took it off and took a look at it. He found that it was a pager from Zhao Bingkun, so he said to Zheng Jingzhi: "Teacher, it's Director Zhao. I'll answer it for him." Telephone."

Zheng Jingzhi smiled and said, "Go ahead."

At this time, they did not know the news that the latest launch vehicle equipped with chips produced by Loongson Company was successfully launched.

Because the rocket has just been successfully launched and the news has not been broadcast yet.

Zhang Zhipeng went over and called Zhao Bingkun back.

After the call was answered, Zhao Bingkun said excitedly: "Comrade Zhipeng! Did you know? Our latest launch vehicle was successfully launched!"

"The rocket is equipped with chips produced by Loongson! The performance of our own chips is very good!"

Zhang Zhipeng was very excited after hearing this. He smiled and said, "This is really good news!"

Zhao Bingkun said: "Technical personnel in aerospace technology are full of praise for the chips produced by Loongson. Everyone said they did not expect domestic chips to be so advanced, haha!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Director Zhao, the recognition of customers is the greatest support for our work, haha!"

"However, I am more concerned about when good news will come from Dongfeng Express."

"Aren't they already in the process of completely replacing the chip products of our Loongson Company?"

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "According to the latest news I learned, our latest intercontinental express delivery is about to be built."

"Our chips are also a huge help!"

"With powerful chips, both the missile flight attitude control and the interactive processing of information will be greatly improved! Of course, the missile's trajectory change technology will also be greatly improved."

"Anyway, I finally understand today why you value the chip so much! It is indeed the cornerstone of modern smart technology!"

The two talked for a while, and Zhao Bingkun told Zhang Zhipeng another piece of good news.

That is: domestic Doppler radar is already entering the trial production stage!

Currently, Chengdu Aircraft is planning to install this radar on an improved version of the J-7 fighter.

Of course, Shen Fei wants to make magical modifications to the J-6 and also install this domestic radar on the improved model.

At the same time, Chengdu Aircraft also plans to start the development of a new third-generation aircraft, which has now entered the design stage.

Zhang Zhipeng thought to himself, Chengdu's third-generation aircraft should be the J-10, right?

However, according to the historical development of previous generations, the J-90 should have been successfully developed in the late s.

J-10 is a true third-generation fighter.

Perhaps this aircraft will be advanced many years due to its own reasons, right?

Thinking like this, Zhang Zhipeng felt a little excited.

After returning from the phone call, Zheng Jingzhi glanced at Zhang Zhipeng and said with a smile, "What's the good news again?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "What good news! Our latest launch vehicle was successfully launched! It is equipped with CPUs and microprocessors produced by Loongson Company."

"The technical staff of the Aerospace Technology Company are full of praise for our products, haha!"

Zheng Jingzhi also felt excited: "That's really great! This is great news!"

"Our rocket launches have failed twice in a row before, which has had a very bad impact on the development of our country's aerospace industry!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "It was because Robin was plotting against me before."

"Robin once sold us a chip for 900 million yuan! Even then, they still did tricks! All they gave us were defective products."

"This has a huge impact on our aerospace industry!"

"However, once we create our own high-quality chips, they will have no chance if they want to cause trouble again!"

Zheng Jingzhi said with emotion: "You have made a huge contribution to our country!"

"I really didn't expect that in my lifetime, we could catch up with or even surpass Robin in such cutting-edge technology!"

In the following time, Zhang Zhipeng, Zheng Jingzhi and his team began to work hard to overcome the four major difficulties of the aircraft engine.

The most important difficulty is actually the manufacturing of single crystal blades.

The temperature in the turbocharger combustion chamber is too high, and may even exceed 1800 degrees.

This is a huge test for the turbine blades located in the combustion chamber.

Ordinary alloy blades simply cannot withstand such high temperatures.

Foreign aircraft engines basically use high-temperature resistant nickel-based rhenium metal single crystal blades!

Currently, this single crystal blade faces two major difficulties.

The first is the lack of rhenium metal ore in China. Rhenium is a metal discovered quite late.

Because it was discovered by Walter Nodak, a chemist from Hans, the metal was named after the Rhine River.

This metal is very rare in the world. There are only more than 2000 tons of proven reserves in the world, most of which are in the Americas.

At present, most of the rhenium mines are in the hands of Robin.

This metal is widely used in the aerospace field and is basically difficult to buy internationally.

The second is the technology and equipment for producing single crystal blades, which are also blocked.

It is basically difficult for Rabbit to obtain this technology, so he can only explore it slowly by himself.

During the research process, Zhang Zhipeng suddenly thought of a piece of information he saw in his previous life.

This data shows that rhenium was detected in a molybdenum mining area in Luonan, Qin Province!

And the reserves are quite large, as much as 176 tons.

It is precisely because of the discovery of this mine that the pace of successful research and development of domestic engines has been accelerated.

Zhang Zhipeng thought to himself, it seems that I have to find this mine first.

One day in mid-May 1991, Zhang Zhipeng said to Zheng Jingzhi: "Teacher, if we want to make a breakthrough in aircraft engine technology, we still have to find a rhenium mine first."

Zheng Jingzhi said: "Director Zhao can be asked to take the lead and conduct a nationwide detection."

"It would really be a headache if we didn't have such an important metal."

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said: "The teacher is right! The reserves of rhenium ore are already scarce. If we just rely on ourselves to detect and search, we don't know that we will find it in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse in the Year of the Monkey!"

"The whole country should be mobilized and everyone should come together to find it."

"Generally speaking, this rhenium metal is basically an associated mine."

"Therefore, the mines currently being mined should be the focus of exploration and search first."

Zhang Zhipeng called Zhao Bingkun and explained the situation.

Zhao Bingkun nodded and said: "Okay! Then I will launch a campaign and mobilize the power of the whole country to conduct a large-scale mine survey."

"Strive to solve the problem of rhenium ore shortage."

So, Zhao Bingkun combined with several departments and began to mobilize forces from all over the country to search for rhenium mines.

Naturally, Zhang Zhipeng would not be idle, and he also began to join the army of prospectors.

He took a few people with him and first went to several mines in Qin Province.

Then, he ran directly to Luonan.

When he arrived in Luonan, he also asked the relevant local departments based on the information in his memory, and then found the Huanglongpu molybdenum mining area.

This mining area is located in the hinterland of Qinling Mountains.

The proven reserves of molybdenum ore are astonishing.

The manager of this mining area is named Cao Youtian.

Naturally, Cao Youtian also received a notice asking him to assist in detecting molybdenum mines.

However, Cao Youtian also lacks professional and technical personnel.

He himself doesn't take this matter too seriously.

He always felt that my mine had been in operation for many years, and a few associated mines had indeed been discovered, but their smelting value was not great.

The rhenium metal reserves are so scarce that I probably don’t have them here.

Therefore, he took no action at all.

When Zhang Zhipeng and others came over, he smiled and said, "We have also cooperated in preliminary detection, and no associated mines of rhenium metal have been found."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Really? How did you detect it? How many places did you detect?"
