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

Chapter 86 Test run experiment

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Thank you for your encouragement! I should learn from Mr. Qian. I don't care about fame and fortune, but I want to make greater contributions to the country! This will lay the foundation for our strength!"

Zhao Bingkun smiled and said: "It is normal to ask about fame and fortune! We will not treat every scientific worker who has devoted his life to the country badly! You will also be written into history textbooks in the future and become a model for generations of students to learn from!"

"Let's work hard together! The dawn of successful aircraft engine development is just around the corner."

Rhenium single crystal blades start mass trial production!

In fact, it has been debugged before, and the performance and efficiency of these production equipment designed by Zhang Zhipeng's team are quite high.

After half a day of production, the first batch of one hundred rhenium single crystal blades was successfully manufactured.

Tested with perfect success!

Generally speaking, an aircraft engine weighing about 60 kilograms requires single crystal blades!

This is the core component of the aircraft engine!

The successful mass production of rhenium single crystal blades means that the engine development of high-performance fighter jets is approaching great success!

Therefore, after the results of the first batch of rhenium single crystal blade tests were announced, there was a round of cheers!

Every researcher who participated in the study was very excited, and many even shed tears on the spot!

China has been trying to develop a new generation of high-performance aircraft engines since the early 80s. It has gone through ten years of hardships and experienced many setbacks and failures in the process!

Now, it is finally a success!

This made our new aerospace engine research stumbling. After several pauses and several abandonments, we finally suffered a lot and were deceived countless times before we finally made up our minds to be self-reliant!

Originally, everyone thought that it would take at least ten years to develop a new generation of high-performance aviation engines!

However, now, with the help of Zhang Zhipeng, the progress has been significantly accelerated!

Zhao Bingkun laughed and shook hands with every scientific researcher, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone!"

"Haha! That's it! Our new aircraft engine is about to be launched!"

"I want to personally escort these rhenium single crystal blades to Sichuan Province immediately!"

"I want to see if Li Ruihai can get me the aircraft engine in the shortest time with these gadgets!"

"Comrade Zhipeng, you have to come with me!"

Zhang Zhipeng naturally agreed.

So, on the same day, Zhang Zhipeng flew to Sichuan Province with Zhao Bingkun.

At this time, Chengdu Aircraft and the Air Force Equipment Department all knew the news.

Qiao Guanyuan, head of the Air Force Equipment Department, ran faster than Zhang Zhipeng and Zhao Bingkun.

When Zhang Zhipeng and his two men landed on a special plane at a military airport in Sichuan Province, Qiao Guanyuan, Song Likun and others came to greet them.

Of course, among the people who greeted him was Li Ruihai, the director of Institute 105.

As soon as Zhang Zhipeng and Zhao Bingkun got off the plane, Li Ruihai ran up to Zhang Zhipeng.

He asked a little impatiently: "Comrade Zhipeng! Where are the things?"

"Where is the thing?"

Zhao Bingkun laughed and scolded: "Why are you so anxious?"

"The things are on the plane, let them be moved down immediately!"

"Speaking of which, this thing is really heavy!"

Li Ruihai rubbed his head in embarrassment and said, "I've been looking forward to it all day and night, just looking forward to this baby!"

"I just want to see it soon!"

Zhao Bingkun smiled and said: "Don't worry, this time we will bring a hundred tablets!"

"That's enough for you to build an airplane engine!"

The carefully packaged rhenium single crystal blades were lifted out of the aircraft cargo hold.

Immediately, these treasures were loaded into armed escort vehicles.

Zhang Zhipeng and others got into the car and headed towards No. 105 under the guidance of the lane driver.

When we arrived at Institute 105, boxes of rhenium single crystal blades were removed from the escort truck.

They were moved directly to the test workshop.

When the box was being opened, everyone gathered around.

When the box is opened, the rhenium single crystal blade is exposed.

In fact, they are quite plain and simple, but in the eyes of aviation people, they are no less than golden and rare treasures.

Li Ruihai stroked a single crystal blade with his hand, and his hand trembled a little. “Comrade Zhipeng, you have tested everything, right?”

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "I just did a rough test, and its toughness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and stability are all very excellent!"

"The performance is excellent even when the temperature is suddenly cooled or heated up!"

"So much better than directionally solidified alloy blades!"

Li Ruihai smiled and said: "We have more tools and equipment to test here, let's test it again!"

The turbine single-crystal blades on this aircraft engine, when in working condition, have to withstand pressures of dozens of atmospheres, speeds of up to 1.6 revolutions per minute, and high temperatures of degrees. The working environment Very bad.

Under such a working environment, it must work continuously and stably for at least 3 hours.

Therefore, ordinary alloy blades are really not suitable.

Because Institute 105 is a research institute specializing in aviation development, the various equipment here are also the most complete and advanced.

Under Li Ruihai's personal command, comprehensive testing of the newly produced rhenium single crystal blades began.

The test was carried out by randomly selecting 4 rhenium single crystal blades.

The test took more than four hours.

The test results made Li Ruihai very satisfied!

"It's really good! The quality of this batch of rhenium single crystal blades produced under the leadership of Comrade Zhipeng is very good. The most valuable thing is that they are produced exactly according to the requirements we have set!"

Li Ruihai said with a smile.

Zhao Bingkun said: "With qualified single crystal blades, when can you build the engine?"

Li Ruihai said: "Up to three days!"

"Because, in fact, our engine has already been produced, and we are just waiting for these rhenium single crystal blades to be delivered and can be installed directly!"

Zhao Bingkun said: "Very good! Then I will wait for the results of the test run after you build the engine!"

After the engine is built, it also needs to undergo various tests.

Various tests must be conducted to simulate a real flight environment.

This testing process is also quite cumbersome.

However, these are required tests.

If it fails a comprehensive and rigorous test run, it cannot be regarded as a qualified aviation engine, and of course it cannot be installed on a fighter jet.

Zhao Bingkun left.

He is busy with work and cannot stay here waiting for the new engine to be tested.

Zhang Zhipeng and Song Likun stayed.

Zhang Zhipeng was also deeply involved in the final assembly of the new aeroengine.

In fact, the final assembly of the new aviation engine does not take much time.

It was assembled in just over two days.

Then came various tedious test runs.

The first is the preliminary running test. This process mainly checks the running-in of the engine, checks the quality of the assembly, etc.

After the preliminary test run, the next step is to conduct an inspection test run. This is also to check the assembly quality of the engine and whether it meets the designed performance requirements, check the functions and matching of each system of the engine, etc., and also conduct troubleshooting tests for various faults, etc. wait.

After passing the above series of inspections and test runs, a 150-hour long-lasting test run will be conducted. This also includes a variety of tests, mainly durability tests, high-altitude tests, engine environment tests, throughput tests, etc...

Various tests were conducted for more than twenty days in total.

All test runs of this new engine were passed with excellent performance.
