Chapter 319 The crown jewel of the materials world



"I...Cao!"

High in the sky, a modal particle spreads among the clouds.

There was a silver fighter plane, flying into the clouds and out of the clouds. As the engine drove, it also left a long tail in the sky.

What makes this fighter jet a little different from ordinary fighter jets is that it is a two-seat fighter jet, which means there are two seats inside for two pilots.

Of these two seats, one is mainly responsible for driving, and the other is mainly responsible for attacking. This not only ensures that the pilot can control the flight of the aircraft without distraction, but also ensures accuracy during the attack.

For example, in a dogfight between airplanes, the advantages of a two-seat fighter jet are clearly undoubted.

And this fighter jet soaring in the sky is the J-20S newly developed by China. It is the world's first two-seat fifth-generation stealth fighter. You can even call it 5.5 generation.

To a certain extent, this two-seater design may also be prepared for the sixth-generation fighter jets. After all, the sixth-generation fighter jets have not really been born yet. Although there are some international standards that can be referenced, the specific No one can say what the standards will be until the sixth generation fighter jets actually appear.

However, for now, the current J-20S is the fifth-generation fighter jet with the strongest comprehensive advantages.

At this time, there were two pilots sitting in the cabin of the fighter jet. The pilot in charge was flying the fighter calmly, while the pilot sitting in the co-pilot seat seemed to be here to experience it - in fact He just came to experience it.

Because this pilot is Li Mu.

According to the original agreement with Academician Cheng Guodong, he could come and experience what it was like to fly the J-20S.

The only regret is that because he is not a professionally trained pilot, he cannot experience advanced fighter skills such as falling leaves in this experience, nor can he experience the pushing feeling of jerking the throttle.

All in all, apart from being able to observe the surrounding sky through the fully transparent cockpit cover, and occasionally experiencing supersonic flight, there are no other items, just like flying on a civil aviation.

Of course, no matter what, just talking about his perspective is enough.

The voice from the ground base came from the communicator: "Are you happy?"

"Cool!"

Li Mu replied with a loud laugh.

Gan, what man doesn’t want to fly in a fighter jet?

But now, his dream has come true. \b

Just like that, after flying in the sky for a while, his first flight in a fighter jet ended.

With the pilot's skillful control, they finally successfully landed on the base runway.

The ground staff stepped forward one after another, and at the same time, a group of people who looked like leaders came over, including two generals with gold stars on their shoulders.

As the canopy opened, Li Mu also got off the plane with the help of several ground staff.

"Are you having fun?" Among the leaders, Academician Cheng Guodong was among them. After seeing Li Mu, he stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Enjoyable." Li Mu nodded and gave a thumbs up. At the same time, he did not forget to give a thumbs up to the pilot who took him flying just now and expressed his gratitude to him.

This pilot's driving skills were so good that even a person who had never flown in a fighter plane almost didn't feel any discomfort at all.

"Okay, now that the fun is over, let me introduce you first. This is Chief Chen Zhong. The J-20S you are riding in today was also approved by Chief Chen."

Next, Academician Cheng introduced the leaders next to Li Mu.

"Hello, thank you for your approval." Li Mu smiled and reached out to shake hands with the three-gold-star general.

General Chen Zhong, who is over 60 years old this year, seems to have a sense of self-reliance without anger. While shaking hands with Li Mu, he also smiled heartily and said: "Mr. Li, you are too polite. After all, this After all, our Air Force needs help from others. We have been looking forward to the H-20 for too long, and now we hope that Mr. Li can lead us to break through this final hurdle."

"I will try my best."

Li Mu nodded solemnly.

Then, Chen Guodong introduced several other important figures to Li Mu. In addition to the leaders of the military region, there were also several key researchers of their sky-hunting plan, all from the four institutions of 621, 622, 623, and 624. graduate School.

After the introduction of the personnel, they officially got down to business.

The base where they are located is China's research base for air force science and technology. The ultimate goal of all research projects here is to invest in the use of the air force.

In addition to materials research, various military aerospace technologies will also be verified here.

For example, the wind tunnel technology that is necessary for aviation research has been built here. It is the largest wind tunnel in China. It is completely comparable to the JF-22 wind tunnel in Shangjing.

Of course, the technology here is basically the same as that of the JF-22.

As for why not conduct experiments directly on JF-22, the reason is simple. JF-22 is public and can be used for both military and civilian research.

The most important task of this wind tunnel on their side is to help them study the H-20, this top-secret strategic bomber.

"The performance of this wind tunnel is the same as that of JF-22. The maximum wind speed is about Mach 30. However, in terms of minimum wind speed, we have broadened the lower limit than JF-22, reaching Mach 2."

Under the leadership of Cheng Guodong and others, Li Mu saw the wind tunnel located under the base, named ST-2 Wind Tunnel.

Li Mu nodded and sighed: "What a big guy."

Cheng Guodong smiled: "After all, we still need to use it to experiment with aerospace technology. The highest Mach 30 is designed for aerospace technology research institutes."

Li Mu nodded, and then he turned his attention to the big guy at the entrance of the wind tunnel.

This is an aircraft engine and a model that has never been seen before.

Anyway, it is definitely not the WS-15 engine used on the J-20, because this one is obviously much larger - he just sat on the J-20S for a while, and he could see all the data with the naked eye.

"This is WS-22?"

"Yes." Cheng Guodong nodded, then turned to look at the big guy.

WS-22 is the engine they specially designed for the H-20.

The outside world has been discussing what engine the 20 will use. Some speculate that it is WS-15, some say it is WS-18, and even WS-20.

Obviously, they were not satisfied with these past models, so the WS-22 was born.

"In terms of aerodynamic layout, this WS-22 is already a perfect match for the H-20, but the problem that exists now, I have told you before, is that under long-term flight, the turbine fan blades of the WS-22 will Serious deformation problems have occurred, and various performances have declined. According to estimates, after just a few flights, the fan blades may not be able to support themselves, and then break directly in the air..."

The fan blades broke in the air...

Just thinking about it, I know what a disaster that would be.

Especially for military technology.

Military technology may not be advanced in performance, but it must be safe and reliable.

Therefore, the AK-47 has become a popular rifle around the world.

Therefore, the top chip manufacturing processes already require 3nm, and military chips generally use 28nm, 45nm or even 90nm or above processes.

"Therefore, we now need to develop a brand new fan blade material to replace our current fan blade material."

Cheng Guodong spread his hands helplessly: "But obviously, this kind of material is not that easy to make. In terms of difficulty... To be honest, if room temperature superconductors had not been researched before, I would have thought that room temperature superconductors would be more difficult to study. But now, I Now I feel that this kind of fan blade material is more difficult to study.”

Li Mu laughed and shook his head, then said: "I understand."

"How's it going? Do you have any ideas?" Cheng Guodong immediately asked expectantly. Of course, so did everyone else around him.

This fan blade material is the last step of the WS-22 engine.

How can we not let them look forward to it?

Looking at their looks, Li Mu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. He spread his hands and said, "Is it possible that I can imagine a super fan blade material out of thin air? I don't have any ideas. Let me study it first."

The people standing next to them who could be called great experts all had expressions of disdain on their faces.

Indeed, how could Li Mu come up with a solution as soon as he asked the question?

If aircraft engines are the crown jewel of the industry, then turbine fan blade materials can be called the crown jewel of the materials world.

Why is this fan blade material so difficult to make?

It is because this material has to withstand the high temperature environment of thousands of degrees all the time. It can be said that the environment that this material needs to adapt to is the harshest environment that all materials in the world can adapt to.

For example, the WS-15 engine used by the J-20 has a vortex front temperature of 1,700 degrees Celsius or even higher.

For an engine, every 100 degrees increase in the pre-vortex temperature can increase the thrust by 15%. Therefore, the higher the pre-vortex temperature, the better.

Ultimately, this important responsibility still falls on the fan blade material.

“We are now using the material used on WS-15, FGH4098-15.”

"What's inside is all the information related to this material."

Entering the materials laboratory, Cheng Guodong handed a stack of paper materials to Li Mu.

Li Mu took it and started to read it from the beginning.

FGH4098-15 is a nickel-based precipitation hardening powder metallurgy superalloy with strong thermal strength.

In normal times, the formula and manufacturing process of this material must be kept strictly confidential, but now, Li Mu can see this secret.

While looking at the various information on the material, Li Mu also analyzed the material in his mind.

Although he now has one simulation of the real universe environment, according to the tasks issued by the system, he needs to combine theory to research materials. If the simulation of the real universe environment is used, it may greatly affect the final reward, so he plans to use this material. Just rely on your own practice to study.

It doesn't cost him any money anyway, the air force pays for all the expenses.

And since he wants to combine theory, he will naturally not forget "Principles of Electronic Behavior of Materials".

Then his research began.

Of course, he is not going to live here directly. After staying here for a few days, he can return to the Research Institute and conduct research on his own in the Research Institute. He just needs to ensure confidentiality, at least not let others know about his research. It is the fan blade material of H-20.

In terms of confidentiality, he doesn't have to worry about it. There will be a dedicated person in charge of this aspect.

So, a few days later, he returned to Shanghai and the Research Institute.

As it happened, Biwaidi and Ningde also agreed to the agreement they had negotiated before and sent people to sign a patent licensing agreement with them.

In terms of rights, Peng Zu Company also requires that third parties who purchase batteries need to determine their qualifications, which means that they have the ability to impose technical sanctions. Any third party who wants to purchase their batteries must obtain In addition to purchasing from these patent-licensed companies, you also need to obtain their consent.

In this way, they will be able to directly form their position in the technology world.

At least, battery giants like Apple, even if they don’t try to please them, will basically not think about offending them.

As for profit distribution, in addition to a 40% profit share, these authorized companies also have a fixed licensing fee of 50 million yuan per year.

Setting this fee also sets a threshold. Otherwise, if any small company comes to them for authorization, it will only affect them.

But no matter what, as the news spread, many battery companies also called, hoping to obtain patent authorization.

For a time, the limelight of lithium-sulfur batteries once again spread across the country.

But for foreign countries, it is completely a disaster.

Faced with the onslaught of lithium-sulfur batteries, they all feel a great pressure.

It seems that they can already see that the global battery market will be completely controlled by this one company!
