A week later, No. 601 Institute, Project No. 22 started the labor union site.
Chen Nian sat on the edge of the venue, watching the experts and scholars entering the venue one after another, and couldn't help but sigh:
These are ruthless people who really relied on their own strength to fight for it bit by bit.
Compared to them, I am extremely lucky to be sitting here.
If it weren't for the blessing of the system, I really don't know how many years it will take before I can meet them.
Thinking of this, he looked down at the notebook in his hand again.
Before that, he spent a week and finally completed the study of Chen Guo's notes, which not only meant that he had a basic introduction to the subject of aerodynamics, but also had reached the level of basic knowledge of fluid mechanics and wind power. standards for independently solving problems.
Of course, this does not mean that he suddenly became an expert in the field of aerodynamics. In fact, at best, he just crossed the threshold.
It's like a toddler. He can stand up now, but if you ask him to walk, run, or hurdle, it's completely impossible.
Not to mention the cutting-edge turbulence patterns, flow stability and boundary layer transition issues, even the theories of vortices, potential flow, boundary layers, etc. mentioned in textbooks still take a lot of time to digest.
Fortunately, Chen Nian is not in such a hurry. With the support of the system, as long as he masters the basic principles, he can quickly establish an understanding of a specific model based on the system data, which is equivalent to skipping analysis and research and inferring the process from the results.
This is undoubtedly a huge improvement in efficiency, and it is also the use of his latest experimental system.
This thing can not only promote the development of applied technology, but as long as the reverse analysis is done properly, even basic science can make great progress.
The system is really a good thing!
Chen Nian opened the system interface, and in the column of the number of source points, it had reached 1.09.
In other words, he has the opportunity to analyze again.
But now, he doesn't plan to use this opportunity immediately.
The reason is simple. He wants to hear first to see which direction this project will focus on in the future.
If the priority is to solve the problems of body strength, materials, etc., then break down the source points and continue in the direction of materials science.
If you believe in yourself enough and plan to challenge an extreme engine, then just click on the power system and fuel system without thinking.
As for control, lifting, and hydraulic pressure...you can choose or not use these things.
Even if the system does not give any blessing, it will only take two or three years. With the development of the J-20 project, we can quickly catch up with the United States in these fields.
Now, it depends on the decision made by the boss.
Just as he was planning in his mind what kind of reasonable method he would use to gradually develop his skills, Lei Gang had already begun to speak on the podium in front of the venue.
"Hello everyone, today is the day when our project number 22 officially starts."
"We have already reported to you about Project No. 22, so we won't go into details now."
"Due to the special nature of this project, our leadership team did not make a final decision on the entire project's tasks in the early stages. In the following meetings, we have one and only one agenda!"
“That’s the problem of solving the project’s focus.”
"At this meeting, we will decide on the main investment direction in the next few months or even years. The final conclusion is closely related to everyone. I hope everyone can actively participate in the discussion."
"Please note that today's discussion was not rehearsed, that is to say, no one greeted me in advance."
"I don't know anything about your ideas. All ideas must be brought to the meeting!"
"Okay, you all know the principle of project confidentiality, now we officially enter the discussion!"
After his words fell, the venue fell into an eerie silence.
This has never happened before.
In fact, in this era, in most enterprises and institutions, the so-called "meeting and discussion" are actually just a form of uploading and issuing.
There may be discussions during the process, but the result must have been determined long ago.
If the lower-level executives do not have enough power and status to convey their opinions before the meeting begins, it means that they have lost the right to discuss before the discussion.
But this time...it seems a little different?
Slowly, whispers began to sound, and Lei Gang did not stop them.
This is a brand new attempt, and it is also an attempt based on Chen Nian's suggestion.
He wanted to see if the final result would be what he imagined if decision-making power was really delegated to grassroots researchers.
After waiting for five minutes, the first person raised his hand to speak. Lei Gang was surprised to find that it was an engineer named Zhao Sui who had almost no presence in Institute 601.
"Zhao Sui, tell me."
As soon as Lei called his name, Zhao Sui stood up immediately, so nervous that his hands were shaking a little.
"Hello leaders, ladies and colleagues, I am honored to have this opportunity today to express my views."
"About this project, I think it is correct and far-sighted, and it is also the concern of superiors and leaders..."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Lei Gang immediately interrupted him, Zhao Sui smiled awkwardly and continued:
"Then I will get right to the point... My opinion is that we should not be satisfied with just one wind tunnel experiment, or even just with the structural verification of the airframe."
"If we were to do it, we would really be building a completely new aircraft."
"Based on this goal, I believe that the key work in the early stage of our project should first be the internal structure deduction and design based on the wind tunnel data results."
"Secondly, we must focus on the most difficult problem, which is the problem of power system matching."
"As we all know, the biggest problem we face in the aviation industry is still the heart problem. If the engine is not solved, no matter how good the airframe design or how excellent the structural strength is, it will not be able to truly perform as a fighter jet. strength."
"So, I think we should expand the dimension of the project and really turn it into an aircraft-building project."
"Rather than like now, where we are building airplanes on the surface, but actually using our results to inject blood into other projects!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the venue looked at each other.
Of course it's not because Zhao Sui said it wrong, but because... he was too brave to say it.
Project 22 was not a real aircraft-building project from the beginning. This was a common thought among many people present.
Blow the wind tunnel, get data, do structural optimization, and even create new materials...and then what?
Then, there is the never-ending technical verification.
It is even possible to verify that no real plane will take off in ten or twenty years.
This is a sad reality, but it is also a reality that most people find difficult to accept.
As an aviation professional, who wants to be behind the scenes forever? Who doesn’t want to have a plane that can really soar into the sky in his own hands?
But the question is, is it really that easy?
