The next day, Chen Nian came to the Materials Research Institute of NPU according to the time agreed with Guo Qi.
When he arrived, he happened to see Guo Qi teaching his students in the laboratory.
"I asked you to make a model, but you can't make it after a month. Tell me, what's the use of it?"
"I'm not good at theory and practice. Why, now I can't even do odd jobs?"
"Next time, can I just make the results for you and then add your names to graduate?"
"Also, how many times have I told you that when you leave the laboratory, you must put all the equipment in its place and clean it up. Look, what are you doing?"
"Do you want me to do such trivial things?"
Opposite him, a group of researchers who were regarded by most as the proud ones did not refute a word, they just stood there and allowed him to output.
To them, today's level of criticism is already considered light. Maybe in a few hours, Guo Qi will completely forget about scolding them and start discussing "noon" with them again. "What to eat?" "What to eat for dinner?" "What to eat for late night snacks?"
——
Of course, they also knew that the main reason why Old Guo Tou let them go so easily was because he was in a good mood today.
And the reason for feeling good.
It's because that man is coming.
The man who figured out the SHS self-propagating technology, designed a standardized molybdenum disilicide production process, and single-handedly pulled the entire laboratory out of the deep quagmire.
Not to mention Guo Qi, even they themselves were quite excited.
On the one hand, it is because at least half of the fact that they are able to live such a comfortable life in the laboratory is due to Chen Nian.
On the other hand.
As soon as he comes, it means that another result will be born in this laboratory.
At that time, even if I can't get the weight, just in terms of reputation, I will be honored.
Therefore, the moment they saw Chen Nian's figure appearing at the door, everyone including Guo Qi immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Xiao Nian, are you here? The equipment has been prepared for you, and the raw materials are all available. You can just get started and start cooking!"
The first person to speak was Guo Qi. With such a meticulous look, he seemed to have forgotten that he had just said, "Do you need me to do everything?"
Immediately afterwards, other researchers also chatted with Chen Nian with smiles on their faces.
"Mr. Chen, do you have to stay in the laboratory all day today? What do you want to eat for lunch? Can I light it for you first?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's already past 9 o'clock. Let's make a reservation for lunch first. Oh, by the way, Mr. Chen, I heard that you are going to make carbon-carbon composite materials today? I have experience in this area. I will help you later?"
"We're going to do more than one experiment today, right? I see there are cobalt, chromium, tungsten, etc. in the materials. Is it testing high-temperature resistant alloys? I can help with that!"
"What is the ceramic powder for? Mr. Chen, if you want to make ceramics, can you bring me one?"
A series of questions made Chen Nian feel a little dizzy. Guo Qi glared angrily and cursed at the students surrounding Chen Nian:
"Are you flies? You fly up when you see some meat? Xiaonian just came over and didn't even take a breath. Can you let him speak for himself?!"
"Come on, Xiao Nian, you sit down first."
"What is the process today? You should have a rough idea first, and I will help you arrange it."
Guo Qi sat Chen Nian on the chair and spoke in a gentle but not humble tone.
Compared to other fellows, he showed more appreciation and care from the elders to the younger ones.
Seeing Guo Qi's expression, Chen Nian couldn't help feeling a little warm in his heart. He stood up again and answered:
"Professor Guo, I have also mentioned to you the general process of today. There are mainly several directions."
"The first one is single crystal tungsten material. This is relatively simple and shouldn't take much time."
"If we have a hot isostatic press, I can ask a senior to help me do it."
"Second, I plan to make carbon-carbon composite materials. This is very complicated. I plan to do some preliminary verification first. If the process is not up to standard, I will put it on hold temporarily."
"The third one is the cobalt-chromium-tungsten composite heat-resistant material that Mr. Wang just mentioned. What I want to do is a nickel-based composite. I have some ideas, but more testing is needed."
"Then, the last step is to continue to optimize based on the existing TBC technology foundation and find a high-temperature resistant ceramic coating."
"Please help me see how each of these projects matches the seniors and seniors, and then help me assign tasks."
"Everyone has to work hard this time. The task is very heavy. I need to complete the preliminary verification within three days at the latest."
After hearing Chen Nian's words, everyone in the laboratory became energetic.
Huo!
This time the action is quite big!
There are 4 directions in one breath, and judging from his tone, each direction is aimed at producing results!
Hard? What are you afraid of?
As long as there are results, nothing is hard.
And the most important thing is that the project direction this time is very comprehensive. From metals, to organic materials, to ceramic materials, almost everyone can find their own area of expertise, and everyone can participate in the experiment and come up with their own ideas. Opinions and suggestions, rather than just doing odd jobs on the side.
Although most of Chen Nian's results will not be published as papers, even just following them is a huge gain.
After all, if he were not in a laboratory with such a top genius, he would probably never see him a few times in his life, let alone give him step-by-step guidance.
With this idea in mind, everyone cheered in unison. After another round of chaotic praise and praise, under the organization of Guo Qi, all the researchers present were divided into three groups, corresponding to carbon-carbon composites, nickel-based alloys, and TBC. Coat in three directions.
As for single crystal tungsten.
After hot isostatic pressing equipment gradually became popular, the preparation of this level of materials has become less difficult. Just arrange for two people to take the time to press it out between experiments.
After the personnel were assigned, Chen Nian immediately directed everyone to start preparations.
Although Guo Qi said at the beginning that the equipment and raw materials were ready, in fact, in order to truly achieve smoothness and usability, a lot of preliminary actions are still needed.
For example, the preheating of equipment, the granulation and powdering of materials, these actions cannot be prepared before clarifying or Chen Nian's experimental process, so time must be spent.
Taking advantage of this rare moment when everyone was busy and Chen Nian was free, Guo Qi quietly pulled him aside and asked:
"Xiao Nian, why do you need so many new materials at once this time?"
"Besides, it seems that these materials of yours correspond to different functional areas?"
"Are there any special project requirements involved? If so, and it doesn't involve confidentiality, you can tell me about it."
"I will take a look based on the actual situation. It may be helpful to the subsequent experimental process and goal setting."
Chen Nian was slightly stunned when he heard Guo Qi's words.
If you think about it carefully, that's really what happened.
After all, the other party is an experienced old man, and perhaps has a better grasp of certain uncertain matters than himself.
Thinking of this, he quickly called Chen Guo and reported the transfer of confidential information before replying to Guo Qi:
"Yes, these materials are used in hypersonic ballistic missiles."
"Hypersonic ballistic missile?!"
Guo Qi was shocked.
He did think about new equipment, but based on what Chen Nian wanted and past results, he guessed it was some kind of high-speed aircraft - the kind in the atmosphere, the kind that belongs to the "aviation" field.
But what he didn't expect was that Chen Nian didn't step forward, but took a step to another track on the side, entering the aerospace field!
The technical route for this thing is quite different from that in the aviation field!
Seeing Guo Qi's expression, Chen Nian nodded solemnly, and then replied:
"Yes, what we want to do is a land-based anti-ship ballistic missile to deal with the threat from the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier."
"Can you make it?"
Guo Qi took a long breath and asked worriedly.
"Then it's up to you."
Chen Nian replied with a smile.
In the following three days, Chen Nian almost never left the laboratory.
Similarly, other researchers also sacrificed their lives to accompany Junzi. The bed at the Institute of Materials Science and Technology was ready-made, and the dining table was moved to the office. When it was time to eat, Guo Qi arranged for the logistics staff to order meals.
Often after everyone finishes eating in the shortest possible time, they immediately dive into the experiment.
Even when eating, the most discussed topic was not whether the food was delicious or whether the dishes were good, but what conditions were missing in the experiment a few minutes ago.
Under such intense work, Chen Nian quickly completed the sorting out of the basic usage logic of materials, and gradually completed the analysis of all related materials.
The missile head is made of single crystal tungsten, the wing leading edge and vertical stabilizer are made of carbon-carbon composite materials, the wings are made of Hastelloy cobalt-chromium-tungsten-nickel alloy, and the outer surface of the missile is covered with a heat-resistant ceramic tile coating.
In this way, the problem of heat-resistant materials for the entire missile body has been completely solved.
The only remaining work that needs to be solved by yourself is the heat dissipation structure design.
At the moment when all the materials were completed in the laboratory trial production, all the researchers who participated in this significant "emergency project" were in jubilation.
"Gong Chen, you are awesome!"
"Damn it. Four new materials in three days. Am I dreaming?"
"Come on, come on, you can't dream of being so beautiful. This is a miracle."
"No, it should be said that we are very lucky - the number of recipes for all materials has not been tested more than 5 times. This is really great luck."
"Luck is so simple, can't you see it? Chen Gong actually has an idea for a long time, he just needs experiments to verify it."
Chen Nian listened quietly to everyone's heartfelt praise, and said a few words at the right time, such as "This is not my fault alone, it is the result of everyone's joint efforts", "Everyone has worked hard this time, let's go back to rest today, and tomorrow "Please have a good meal, everyone" and "If the paper can be published after passing the confidentiality review, everyone will add their names" to encourage morale, which will also convince everyone.
In fact, who doesn't know that the main force is Chen Nian?
It is said to be cooperation, but in fact, most of the time, other people are still responsible for some assisting and hands-on work.
Even Guo Qi is no exception.
Therefore, when Chen Nian generously said, "Everyone can add their names," these easily satisfied researchers almost immediately determined one thing:
This brother can handle it.
From now on, you can hang out with him!
The atmosphere became more and more lively, but just as everyone was chatting happily and planning where to go for midnight snacks, Chen Nian's cell phone suddenly rang at an inappropriate time.
It's the one reserved for confidentiality.
So, Chen Nian smiled apologetically at everyone, turned around and walked into Guo Qi's office.
"Hello, how are you?"
"Hello, is this Chen Nian? I'm Zhu Xuejun."
Hearing the other party's voice, Chen Nian's heart moved.
It's her!
That's right, Chen Guo had notified herself before, saying that she would ask Zhu Xuejun to contact her to talk about the DF-17 project, but she had been so busy in the past two days that she could say that she had completely forgotten about it.
Thinking of this, he quickly said:
"Hello, Mr. Zhu, I'm Chen Nian. I was too busy and forgot to call you."
"It's okay, it's okay, I know you're busy."
Zhu Xuejun's tone was surprisingly gentle, completely different from the momentum she used when communicating with Chen Guo before.
Probably, after signing the confidentiality agreement, Chen Guo had already told her some stories about Chen Nian.
However, Chen Guo seemed not to have said enough.
Because, judging from her performance, she seemed to have some doubts about this project.
After a brief pause, she asked:
"Chen Nian, how is the progress on your side so far? I heard that you are working on materials with Gao Qi at the Materials Research Institute?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhu. It has basically been solved. The four thermal insulation materials are used on different parts of the DF-17 to maximize the thermal insulation efficiency."
"solved?"
Zhu Xuejun repeated it subconsciously, with a surprised tone.
But soon, she calmed down again.
"Very good. Lao Guo is a very good person. The last result produced by their laboratory, regarding the preparation of molybdenum disilicide by SHS self-propagation method, is generally very amazing."
"The capabilities of the laboratory have also been developed. It is a very correct decision for you to choose them to cooperate."
"No wonder Chen Guo said you are a rare technical talent."
"Sure enough, not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of vision, you are far superior to others."
Chen Nian smiled awkwardly and was about to say a few words to get over it, but Zhu Xuejun had already continued.
"No matter what, being able to solve the problem of heat-resistant materials shows that your ability is sufficient."
"With me, you are already qualified to lead this project."
"I will go to Xi'an next week. Then we will meet and talk about the DF-17 in detail."
"I'm still a little busy here. You know, it's also a DF project, so I won't tell you too much."
"come on!"
"By the way, remember to say thank you to Lao Guo, he was a big help."
Afterwards, Zhu Xuejun exchanged a few pleasantries and hung up the phone.
Chen Nian stood there with a confused face, not knowing what to say for a moment.
When he walked out of the door, Guo Qi had already greeted him.
"Who is it? Can I know?"
Chen Nian hesitated for a moment and then answered:
"Well you really need to know."
"It's Zhu Xuejun."
"Zhu Xuejun? That's right, it's her. What did she say?"
"She said, thank you, you've been a big help."
"ah?!?"
Guo Qi froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
He suddenly realized that this matter had gone too far.
Damn it? !
Thank me! ?
I didn't do anything at all!
