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

Chapter 83 Rhenium single crystal blade is successful! [Recommended votes plus updates, seeking reading and data]

Zhang Zhipeng was working in the laboratory when he heard the news of the successful test launch of the latest domestically produced Dongfeng Express.

He was very excited when he heard the news, because Dongfeng Express is the most powerful defender of national security!

The stronger Dongfeng Express is, the safer the country will be!

He is very proud that the chips he built with his own hands can help the national defense become stronger and stronger!

However, he said that he is currently busy manufacturing aerospace-grade single crystal furnaces.

After a month of exploration, with the help of the system, he finally conquered all the difficult technologies of the single crystal furnace.

Now, his mission is to build a single crystal furnace!

The single crystal furnace is still manufactured in the experimental factory workshop of NPU.

After more than a week of hard work, with the help of Zheng Jingzhi and others, he finally created the first aerospace-grade single crystal furnace in Chinese history.

However, the specific effect of this single crystal furnace needs to be further verified in practice.

Now, we are just waiting for the purification and production speed of rhenium metal ore to increase.

Once the raw materials are ready, work can begin immediately.

But at this time, news came from the Huanglongpu molybdenum mining area: the purification of rhenium metal has encountered some problems. At present, it is difficult for domestic equipment to purify rhenium metal from associated ores.

Zhang Zhipeng had no choice but to go to the smelter in Huanglongpu mining area for on-site inspection.

Zhang Zhipeng naturally knows that the refining process of rhenium metal is quite complicated. It requires smelting, then vacuum distillation, and then electrolysis. The process is cumbersome and requires a lot of equipment.

At present, there is no mature rhenium metal purification and processing technology in China.

You have to explore everything yourself.

Zhang Zhipeng ran to the mining area, plunged into the workshop, and began to explore and improve the purification process equipment with the help of the system.

Of course, there are many talents gathered from all over the country to help him.

After more than two weeks of exploration, he finally improved a complete set of purification and smelting processes.

Then, everyone worked together to start another trial production.

This time, Zhang Zhipeng led the team to successfully purify rhenium metal with a purity of 99.99%.

The amount of purification at one time is more than ten kilograms!

This amount is already quite a lot.

But the most valuable thing is: Zhang Zhipeng led the team to create a mature production process for purifying rhenium!

As long as rhenium can be mass-produced, there will be no problems in the mass production of single-crystal turbine blades for aircraft engines.

After the problem of purifying and producing rhenium metal was solved, Zhang Zhipeng began to try to produce rhenium single crystal blades in the laboratory using equipment such as heat treatment furnaces and single crystal furnaces.

The production process of rhenium single crystal blades is extremely complex.

It often requires forty or fifty steps of craftsmanship.

The process is complicated, and if you're not careful, defective products can easily come out.

Therefore, Zhang Zhipeng is constantly improving the process equipment and production processes while experimenting with the production of rhenium single crystal blades.

After three or four days of trial production, Zhang Zhipeng finally produced the first batch of ten single crystal blades.

After testing, the performance of these manufactured single crystal blades is quite strong.

The most difficult technical barrier for aircraft engines, the single-crystal blade, has finally been overcome!

After the test results came out, there was warm applause in the test workshop!

Zheng Jingzhi applauded and nodded repeatedly. He felt his eyes were a little sore again.

I want to cry.

Why! My tears have been a little low recently!

However, the successful manufacturing of this rhenium single crystal blade is a big step towards success for the manufacturing of Chinese aircraft engines!

After overcoming this most difficult technology, the development of aircraft engines should be smooth, right?

"It's really not easy! I really didn't expect that we could overcome this difficulty so quickly."

Zheng Jingzhi took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes.

He was quite embarrassed.

Zhang Zhipeng was actually very excited at the moment.

However, he was not so excited that he cried on the spot. "Teacher, let me just say it! It all depends on human effort! As long as we go all out, there will be no difficulties in this world that can stop us from moving forward!"

"Next, we will sort out the technology for conquering rhenium single crystal blade manufacturing and write it into a series of papers. What do you think?"

Zheng Jingzhi nodded happily and said, "Okay!"

"The data and everything are ready-made!"

"We have to overcome a lot of difficulties in manufacturing this rhenium single crystal blade!"

"Heat treatment furnaces, single crystal furnaces, rhenium metal refining processes, and rhenium single crystal blade manufacturing process technologies are all worth writing about."

"I'm here to help you with this batch of papers. You are the first author. If the teacher takes advantage of you, just be the second author."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "With this technical difficulty, I'm afraid I can write more than ten papers."

"Teacher, let's write them separately. You also need the results of the paper."

Zheng Jingzhi shook his head and said: "You are responsible for this entire big project, and you are also responsible for overcoming almost all technical difficulties."

"I can get some credit and be the second author, which is already very good."

"Okay, stop fighting about this, just hurry up and start writing."

"Writing a paper is not the ultimate goal."

"We are using these papers to tell the superiors that the most difficult aspect of the engine has been solved."

"Now, we can begin the final sprint to tackle the aircraft engine."

So, Zhang Zhipeng began to organize and write papers with his team.

His team includes one academician, one first-level professor, two second-level professors, and about a dozen doctoral students. The lineup is quite strong.

As for him, he can barely be considered a master's degree student.

However, everyone in the team was convinced by him.

I can’t accept it!

Zhang Zhipeng has already demonstrated sufficient strength and achieved dazzling results.

Besides, such an important national-level project was fought for by Zhang Zhipeng himself and led by him.

What are the other people dissatisfied with?

Zhang Zhipeng asked them to join the research team of this project, which was equivalent to helping them brush up their scientific research results!

Thesis writing actually didn’t take much time.

It only took about seven or eight days.

Everyone organizes the data together and demonstrates the topic selection together.

Finally, fourteen papers were written.

According to Zheng Jingzhi's idea, all these papers named Zhang Zhipeng as the first author, which is also the honor Zhang Zhipeng deserves.

But after Zhang Zhipeng thought about it for a while, he felt that this was inappropriate. He finally chose 6 articles to be signed as the first author, and the other 8 articles. Zheng Jingzhi and another first-level professor each had 3 articles signed as the first author, and the two second-level articles were signed as the first author. Professor-level professors have each article signed as the first author.

It is considered very good for doctoral students to have a name at the end of their thesis.

Zhang Zhipeng did this because he felt that everyone in this team was actually working hard.

Like Zheng Jingzhi, even though he is an academician, he is still so devoted and has made many important contributions.

Once the results are achieved, it will be better if everyone gets a little share of the rain and dew.

In the future, other professors and researchers will listen more to me.

A good man still needs three helpers!

No matter how strong he is on his own, he still needs the help of a strong team!

This requires learning to be a human being!

Besides, no matter what, the result of this rhenium metal blade was made by myself!

If this matter is mentioned in history in the future, his name will definitely be the main one, and other people's names may not be mentioned!

Therefore, when it’s time to be generous, you should be more generous! Otherwise, you won’t have good popularity!
