A few days later, Mizutani Hayabusa of Kawasaki Group arrived in China as a representative of the carbon fiber consortium.
Subsequently, within a very short period of time, both parties reached an agreement on the introduction.
Of course, what plays an important role in this is the Indian high-speed rail order that China has taken the initiative to sell.
After all, after China's withdrawal, Kawasaki Heavy Industries has higher bargaining power and can avoid the risk of malicious competition.
The potential benefits obtained from this are much higher than the benefits of "300 million orders".
That night, there was a joyful and peaceful atmosphere on both the Chinese side and the island nation.
However, what is hidden in this happy atmosphere is a huge crisis on the one hand, and an unprecedented opportunity on the other.
In the office of NPU, Chen Nian looked at the copy of the contract in his hand with satisfaction and said:
"Professor Chen, you worked so beautifully this time!"
"With 6 thousand-ton production lines, including 4 large tow lines, we will not have to worry about carbon fiber materials in the next ten years."
Chen Nian’s words are not unfounded. In his impression, China built its first 48k large tow thousand-ton production line around 2017 in the previous life. Before that, most of the high-strength carbon fiber materials All rely on imports.
Now, with the initial "start-up machine" in place, the subsequent development of the carbon fiber industry will continue to accelerate.
This is not a small market.
Not to mention the rapidly developing aviation and high-speed rail industries, there are too many civilian products involving carbon fiber.
Cars, bicycles, construction, and various sports equipment, including the carbon fiber fishing rods that are favorites of anglers, actually all need strong industrial support.
Before 2006, the import rate of domestic carbon fiber materials reached more than 80%, and the measly 20% were almost all low-end products.
A large amount of profits flow out of overseas countries, bringing unnecessary losses purely due to "technical generation differences"
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo across from him smiled calmly and replied:
"We didn't expect it to go so smoothly. We were really overwhelmed by the orders from India when we were young. We were a little hesitant, wondering whether the projects in India were really that good."
"However, the matter has been settled anyway, so there is no need to think so much."
"This introduction can not only solve the urgent need of the H-20 project, but also revitalize the entire industry in the future."
"Preliminary estimates indicate that the economic benefits we can generate from this introduction should be more than 10 billion yuan, and the foreign exchange saved will be even greater."
"Based on 10 years, the total savings should exceed 100 billion."
"This money can be invested in more useful technical departments in the future."
Chen Nian nodded. From Chen Guo's words, he saw something different.
Perhaps whether it is on the Internet, among the public, or even in the eyes of some upper-level decision-makers, launching some big projects and building some decisive equipment is the driving force for the rapid development of the country.
But in fact, what an old man said is extremely correct:
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.
Every spoonful of seasoning and every stir-fry may determine the taste and heat of the entire dish.
Only by spending every penny and carefully acquiring every penny of the benefits and accumulating them can we truly achieve qualitative changes through quantitative changes.
This is true for the chip project, the same is true for the mountain-moving project, and the current carbon fiber project is also true.
Step by step forward, before we know it, we have actually gone very far.
Perhaps when you look back one day in the future, you will realize that the ordinary little things in front of you are actually the solid bricks and stones that build up the building.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian continued to ask:
"If the material problem can be solved, when will the H-20 plan to fly?"
"Mr. Tang's estimate is that it will be in early March next year, which is still five months away."
"Basically, it's almost the same. The 'Nanling' project of the variable cycle engine is also coming to an end, and the first test is expected to be completed within three months."
"However, it will take a certain amount of time to debug this engine before it can be used on the H-20. This time difference is just right."
Having said this, Chen Guo thought for a moment, seemed to remember something, and continued:
"Mr. Yang wants to use the variable cycle engine on the J-20B first. Now that the airport on Treasure Island has basically been completed, all types of fighter jets will definitely be deployed there in the future."
"If we can allow the J-20B to develop combat effectiveness in advance, many of the things we want to do will be much easier."
"Yeah, I think that's okay."
Chen Nian nodded and replied.
After the last incident subsided, overseas neighbors have not come out to cause trouble for a long time.
But it is important for us to be prepared and maintain a basic military presence.
The best way of military existence is warships and fighter jets.
"But speaking of which, it seems that the United States has also suspended their Pacific Rim strategy?"
"Didn't you say before that you would deploy medium-range missiles in the south? There is no news now?"
"No news."
Chen Guo shook her head and replied.
"Not just the medium-range missile plan - but also their missile wall plan. Judging from the current situation, it has been shelved. Even the THAAD deployment on the island country has been cancelled."
"Moreover, they did not withdraw from these two projects on their own initiative, but were rejected by local officials."
"This situation is very beneficial to us. It can be said that their influence has passively declined for the first time."
"It seems that our early actions were indeed successful."
"Following this trend, as long as the Deep Blue 16 project is completed and the No. 01 aircraft carrier is launched, the entire first and second island chains will be under control, at least they will be evenly matched."
"very nice."
Chen Nian breathed a long sigh of relief.
This review made him feel like he was in another world.
Three full years have passed.
Three years ago, the entire country was in an atmosphere of fear and anxiety.
A powerful country in the Middle East whose military strength is almost the same as ours is being hanged and beaten. Everyone is asking, will we be next?
But now, this problem has quietly disappeared without a trace.
There is only one question that everyone is thinking about:
How many more years will it take before we can truly compete with them?
For now, there is no answer.
After all, now we are just trying to make up for the missing things and plug the most urgent loopholes.
It takes time to get to the position of leader.
But Chen Nian believes that it will happen soon.
After leaving Chen Guo's office, Chen Nian went to Wang Jiancheng's laboratory according to the previously planned plan.
At this time, Qiu Mai had officially joined his gang and began to help him with the electromechanical and hydraulic integration transformation of the exoskeleton.
I went there just to see how they were progressing and if they needed any extra help.
On the way, Chen Nian opened the system and began to examine his current source situation.
Due to the previous "diversion" promotion of the Beijing-Shijiazhuang Railway, the number of his source points has increased far beyond expectations. So far, he has accumulated 24 source points, and the average daily number of source points has also reached a peak of 0.5.
However, the number of origin point increases has dropped significantly in recent days.
Obviously, it is because the technological fission potential of the "heavy machinery" category has almost been exhausted.
The next step should be to let Li Xiang and others communicate and output more popular science programs, thus triggering new fission.
What should I do?
J-22 seems to be a very good direction.
Or, a gas turbine?
Anyway, let them worry about it.
Within a few minutes, Chen Nian had arrived at the door of the laboratory. Before he could walk through the open door, he could already hear the discussion between Wang Jiancheng and Qiu Mai inside.
"This motor is completely useless. The response speed is too slow. Coupled with the delay of the hydraulic system, the operation will be severely frustrated."
"This thing is really hard on your body. It's hard to even walk, let alone running."
"The delay must be controlled within at least 300 milliseconds. Beyond this number, agility cannot be guaranteed."
It was Wang Jiancheng who spoke, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with the results at this stage.
"There is no way. The current limit response speed of motors is also 500 milliseconds. To meet your standards, at least we have to wait for the next generation of DC servo motors to appear."
Qiu Mai replied helplessly.
"But isn't it said that the response speed of the motor is within 10 milliseconds? It can even be as fast as 0.1 milliseconds."
".What you are talking about is the startup response speed! To reach the working speed, is 0.1 millisecond enough? We can now achieve 500 milliseconds, which is already very good."
"If it doesn't work, don't pursue agility. Let's deal with the problem of weight-bearing first."
"That goes against my intention of designing this exoskeleton!"
"How can any equipment completely achieve the design goals from the beginning? It has to be iterated from generation to generation."
The two people inside were still arguing. Chen Nian opened the dust-proof curtain and walked in, interjecting and asking:
"What are you two arguing about?"
After hearing Chen Nian's words, the two turned their heads subconsciously. After seeing Chen Nian's face clearly, Wang Jiancheng said quickly:
"Senior, you came just in time."
"We have a problem now. The DC servo motor cannot achieve the expected effect at all. The exoskeleton responds very slowly. It is almost impossible to put it on with every step."
Chen Nian glanced at Wang Jiancheng and then at Qiu Mai, whose face was full of indignation.
It looked like the older sister at home was kind enough to help her younger brother with his homework, but was rejected in the end.
This made Chen Nian want to laugh a little. He shook his head gently and said:
"I heard you guys arguing just now."
"Actually, what Qiu Mai said is right - haven't I said it before? If you want to truly achieve the agility of a mechanical exoskeleton, your only way is to implement BCI brain-computer direct connection."
"With the current technical conditions, even if the problem of DC servo motors is solved, it is impossible to truly make the exoskeleton 'control like an arm'."
"Why don't you really change your mind and do what your sister Qiu Mai said, solve the problem of weight-bearing first, and then consider agility."
"But it's useless even if the problem of carrying weight is solved! When the army is fighting, there is no agility. Will the enemy wait for you to move up slowly?"
Hearing Wang Jiancheng's words, Chen Nian couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"You know what a hammer army is?"
"You don't really think that the mechanical exoskeleton was created to cultivate super soldiers like Master Chief, do you?"
"Don't be ridiculous. The real solution for mechanical exoskeletons is to solve the problem of evacuation operations."
"What is evacuation warfare?"
Wang Jiancheng asked with a confused look on his face.
"The so-called decentralized operations refer to dismantling large-scale group operations into multi-module, decentralized, and beyond-visual-range complex battles, and using independent combat units to form the entire combat and command system."
"This method of combat is actually a continuation of the modern combat operations of the Air Force and Navy."
"Its purpose is to avoid the natural disadvantages of traditional combat methods and maximize the combat effectiveness of a single combat unit."
"Let's put it this way, it is a macro-three-three system."
"Oh, I see."
Wang Jiancheng nodded, but then asked:
“But what does that have to do with the design of my exoskeleton?”
"It matters a lot."
"Such a combat method requires each combat unit to have extremely high firepower delivery capabilities. Otherwise, once the combat units are dispersed, they will be easily surrounded and annihilated."
"In order to achieve this goal, we must either miniaturize weapons, engage in human-machine coordination of unmanned systems, or increase the load capacity - which is the current mechanical exoskeleton."
"So, the significance of mechanical exoskeletons is not to engage in agile combat."
"Because on most battlefields, there are no scenarios that require fighters to maneuver frequently or move at high speeds."
"What they need to do is squat in a trench for a day, walk hundreds of miles on a long marching route, or stay behind a cannon to carry ammunition, and move hundreds or even thousands of rounds at a time."
“How agile do you think they really need to be in this situation?”
"After all, we are not training sergeants, but general warriors who can work closely together."
After hearing Chen Nian's words, Wang Jiancheng fell silent for a moment.
Qiu Mai on the side had a look on his face that said, "Yes, yes, that's it."
When Wang Jiancheng didn't answer, she spoke:
"My thinking is the same. Solving the load-bearing problem can improve the sustained combat capability. As for further applications, we can take our time."
"That's not to say that agile exoskeletons are completely useless. For example, special operations, civilian mechanical control, etc. are still useful."
"But products always need to be iterated step by step."
"Just like our J-22 and J-20B, although they perform so perfectly now, behind the scenes, they must have been improved one version after another. If you don't believe me, ask your senior, isn't he also involved? It’s part of the job.”
"That's right, Chen Nian?"
Hearing her question, Chen Nian was stunned for a moment.
Improvements from version to version?
Not really
However, given the current situation, it is certainly inconvenient to say this.
So, he had no choice but to say:
"Well, yes, it does need to be revised many times."
There will be another chapter later
