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

Chapter 84 Mr. Qian’s teachings

In the following time, under the leadership of Zhang Zhipeng, everyone began to write papers together.

Zhang Zhipeng's team wrote a series of papers focusing on the purification and smelting of rhenium, the development of equipment for manufacturing rhenium single crystal blades, and the manufacturing process of rhenium single crystal blades.

After the paper was written, it was handed over to Zhang Zhipeng for systematic revision.

Subsequently, these papers were personally escorted to the capital by Zhang Zhipeng and handed over to Zhao Bingkun.

Zhao Bingkun has actually been waiting for this result for a long time.

Zhang Zhipeng told Zhao Bingkun how he and Zheng Jingzhi led the team to finally manufacture rhenium metal blades in the experimental factory after arduous research.

Zhao Bingkun was very excited when he heard this.

He held Zhang Zhipeng's hand and said: "Now that the rhenium metal blade has been successfully developed, our domestic aircraft engine has reached the final sprint stage!"

"I will organize experts to analyze and discuss these papers of yours. You can talk about it with everyone at the seminar!"

Zhang Zhipeng naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

Zhao Bingkun began to notify experts from various aviation research institutions.

A total of more than thirty experts came.

Among them are naturally Song Likun, chief engineer of Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, and Luo Zhizhong, director of the 105th Institute responsible for engine research.

What Zhang Zhipeng didn't expect the most was that Mr. Qian, the father of rocketry in the Republic and the great scientist he admired most, also appeared at the discussion.

It is said that Mr. Qian is already 80 years old.

However, Mr. Qian is still in good health, energetic and has a loud voice.

After seeing Zhang Zhipeng, he held Zhang Zhipeng's hand tightly and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, I finally see you, haha!"

"From various internal information, I have known you for a long time. When I met you today, you turned out to be a talented person!"

"You have established a solid chip technology base for our country!"

"I have long said that the future development of science and technology must be informatization and intelligence! And the basic base of these two aspects is the chip!"

"You have made outstanding achievements in this field!"

Mr. Qian was generous in his praise for Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng was also very excited.

Not for anything else, because Mr. Qian is the scientist he admires the most, no one!

The old man went through a lot of hardships in order to return to his country to serve!

After returning to China, he worked hard for the development of national defense and stayed anonymous for decades. Finally, Rabbit developed a powerful missile and built a solid Great Wall of Defense for the Republic!

The most valuable thing is that the old man has a far-reaching and sharp vision and has a clear understanding of the future development of science and technology.

Many scientific research achievements of later generations were actually developed based on the suggestions of elders. These achievements include aerospace, electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, and quantum technology!

Without this respectable old man, the Republic's two bombs and one satellite would not have developed so smoothly.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said to Mr. Qian: "Mr. Qian, you are my role model and my most beloved scientist! I cannot achieve anything without your encouragement!"

Mr. Qian waved his hands with a smile and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhang is putting a high hat on me again! No! I'm old! The future development of science and technology in our country will depend on young people like you."

"I read the series of papers you produced on rhenium metal single crystal blades, and I was really shocked!"

"Aircraft engines are a hidden pain in the hearts of generations of aviation scientists!"

"Without building high-performance aircraft engines, we can't build similar fighters that can compete with the Robin family's high-performance fighters! This is a huge shortcoming for our national defense industry!"    "Now, you can make up for it with your own hands. Got it! This is really valuable!"

Zhang Zhipeng talked to Mr. Qian for a long time. During the discussion meeting, Zhang Zhipeng also sat with Mr. Qian.

Facing a great scientist like Mr. Qian, Zhao Bingkun also respected him very much and insisted on letting Mr. Qian take the main seat at the seminar.

And he and Zhang Zhipeng were sitting on opposite sides.

Mr. Qian made an important speech at the seminar.

He said that he had carefully read a series of papers written by Zhang Zhipeng's team. He believed that since Zhang Zhipeng's team had successfully created rhenium single crystal blades in the laboratory, they should take action immediately and start large-scale research based on the current research results. Rhenium single crystal blades are manufactured in batches.

Mr. Qian said: "Comrades, the reason why the performance of our domestically produced aviation engines in the past was very different from foreign countries is that the core key actually lies in this single crystal blade! The turbine blades of foreign advanced aircraft engines have long begun to be replaced by Single crystal blades, while this key component of our domestic engines is still made of directionally solidified alloy!"

"The high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and stability of this directionally solidified alloy are far inferior to those of single-crystal blades! This also makes our fighter jets less explosive and their flight speed is limited."

"But now, the successful development of our rhenium single crystal blades will erase the gap with aviation powers such as Robin!"

"As long as the WS-10 engine we are currently developing is equipped with rhenium single-crystal blades, its performance will definitely make a huge qualitative leap!"

"So I want to say that Comrade Zhang Zhipeng has really made a huge contribution to the country! This contribution is second only to the research and development of the atomic bomb!"

Mr. Qian spoke highly of the achievements of Zhang Zhipeng’s team!

The performance of aircraft engines is actually directly proportional to the temperature of the turbine combustion chamber.

For every 50-degree increase in turbine combustion chamber temperature, the aircraft's engine thrust can increase by seven percent!

The combustion chamber temperature of Rabbit's early aircraft engines was only more than 1300 degrees, so naturally there was no way to compete with advanced aircraft engines from Robin, Darmao, John Bull and other countries in terms of engine thrust.

You know, the temperature of Robin's F119 combustion chamber can already reach 1677 degrees!

The original reason why the temperature of the combustion chamber of domestic aircraft engines could not be significantly increased was mainly because the melting point of the original directional solidification alloy was too low!

It’s only about 1000 degrees!

The melting point of rhenium single crystal blades is above 1300 degrees.

Of course, even though it has increased by about 300 degrees, it is still incomparable with the combustion chamber temperature of more than 1600 degrees.

This requires other means to continuously cool down the single crystal blades.

This seminar finally set the tone: Zhang Zhipeng began to organize the mass production of rhenium single crystal blades based on aircraft engine research and the model and size of turbine single crystal blades required by the production unit!

Strive to have the domestically produced WS-10 high-performance aircraft engine come out as soon as possible and start mass production!

After all, Rabbit's Air Force has long been looking forward to high-performance third-generation fighters!

After the discussion, Mr. Qian took Zhang Zhipeng's hand and said enthusiastically: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, if you need my support in the future, just call me!"

"I also know that I may not be able to help you, but I also want to use my remaining energy!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Qian. I also welcome Mr. Qian to visit our laboratory in Chang'an if you have time. Listening to your words today really inspired me a lot!"

"I am a loyal fan of yours. Can you write a few words for me so that I can hang it on the wall of the laboratory to motivate myself all the time."

Mr. Qian smiled and said, "I will definitely go and take a look when I have time!"

"I'm old, and sometimes I can't keep up with this idea."

"Xiao Zhang, don't be too polite. If I make a mistake, you can point it out directly. The old man is also very afraid of being praised! Haha!"

"You asked me to write a few words for you, so I'll show off my ugliness!"

Someone immediately brought paper and ink, and Mr. Qian wrote a banner for Zhang Zhipeng.
