After the preparation of the new carbon-carbon composite material was completed, Zhang Xingyang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
This proves that the technology in his mind is even applied in this world that was nearly two hundred years ago.
There were no deviations due to time issues.
But Zhang Xingyang can't rest now. There is another troublesome thing at the moment.
Those are the two materials science professors Su Che and Qian Siming who just came over.
Professor Qian Siming, in particular, grabbed Zhang Xingyang's sleeves very excitedly, pointed at the new materials on the stage, and kept asking various questions.
"As the matrix of the material, what did you choose? Single-layer carbon embryo? Carbon fiber cloth? Or graphite?"
“What are the source gases in the carbon sequestration process?”
"What kind of material structure can it have such great strength?!"
“It would be great to have a scanning electron microscope!”
Zhang Xingyang did not answer Qian Siming's questions because these questions are relatively sensitive key technical points.
I can understand the other party's excitement when seeing a material with strong performance as a researcher who has been deeply involved in the field of materials for many years.
But now that my butt is sitting at the Rocket Research Institute, it is impossible for my unit's achievements to be used by others.
"I will write a paper on the main technical route in a few days, and you can take a look at it then."
Zhang Xingyang looked at Qian Siming with an expectant look on his face and said calmly.
Su Che sees things more thoroughly than his friends. As the head of the Rocket Research Institute, Zhang Xingyang cannot casually tell others the details of his new technology.
He is now concerned about another issue, which is the cost of new materials and whether they can be mass-produced.
"Can this material be mass-produced now? What is the approximate cost?"
Zhang Xingyang glanced at Su Che, who was also very happy but not crazy, and calculated a set of data in his mind for a few seconds.
"The laboratory cost is about 1,500 yuan/kg, and if the mass production cost is properly managed, it can be controlled at around 1,100 yuan/kg."
Su Che didn't have much reaction after hearing this. The material performance had so much impact on him before that he was now desensitized to the exaggerated data.
Compared with the commonly used nickel-based high-temperature superalloys, the new carbon-carbon composite materials have almost twice the high-temperature performance and a one-third reduction in weight, but the cost is less than half of that of nickel-based alloys.
If this material is used in the development of the WS-10 engine that I participate in, the performance of the turbofan 10 will be greatly improved.
Simply speaking, the low density of carbon materials can increase the thrust-to-weight ratio quite a bit.
And the improved high temperature resistance means greater combustion eruption and greater thrust!
Not to mention its cost, which is almost a rolling-level advantage compared to nickel-based high-temperature superalloys.
"Xingyang, have you ever thought about when it will be mass-produced?"
Su Xiao looked at Zhang Xingyang with a smile, who kept yawning and had sleepy eyes, and asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet. We may have to re-build the factory for production. It will probably take at least several months."
Zhang Xingyang made an estimate based on the construction speed of this era in his memory.
"What if I can find you a ready-made place?" Su Xiao asked quickly when she heard that the other party was interested in mass production.
Although his brain is very tired, it does not mean that Zhang Xingyang's thinking is dull.
On the contrary, with the blessing of the protein chip in his brain, his thinking speed is far faster than that of ordinary people.
Su Che helped him find a factory for no reason. It was impossible for him to do anything good. As the saying goes, "If you show courtesy for nothing, you will either commit adultery or steal."
"Professor Su, if you have any ideas, just tell me."
As the youngest academician in the 22nd century, Zhang Xingyang is very direct and does not like to deal with twists and turns.
Su Che didn't feel embarrassed when he heard that the other party directly pointed out his ulterior motives, but said:
"I wonder, Xingyang, have you heard about our self-developed Turbofan 10 project?"
Relevant information instantly appeared in Zhang Xingyang's mind.
The WS-10 project started in 1982. The core machine technology comes from the CFM56 aviation engine of the Yingjiang family and the AL-31F engine of the Mao Xiong family.
The first core machine was developed in 1992, and encountered many setbacks in the following years. It was not until 2005 that the expected performance was achieved and the machine was officially finalized.
As the first high-thrust military turbofan engine in the Dragon Kingdom, the WS-10 has experienced many difficulties.
If you can help yourself, that's fine.
Zhang Xingyang thought for a while and said:
"I've heard of some, but I don't know much about the details."
Although I know the entire process of this engine from design and development to its withdrawal from the stage of history, I can't say it yet, otherwise it may cause a lot of trouble.
Su Che thought about the information he could tell and said:
"This engine is currently in the development and testing stage, and it has encountered many problems, among which materials are a big problem.
If this new carbon-carbon composite material can be used, it can solve many problems. "
Su Che paused and continued,
"If you can agree, I can contact the military to find you a carbon material processing plant for the Rocket Research Institute."
The reasons and conditions given by the other party were very touching to Zhang Xingyang's heart.
Whether it was for the future development of the Rocket Research Institute or the scientific and technological progress of Long Country, Zhang Xingyang had no reason to refuse.
"Of course I agree, but the specific details may need to be discussed with the military and factories."
Zhang Xingyang said easily, as if he didn't take such perverted new material seriously.
Su Che couldn't help but smile and sighed:
"Sure enough, heroes have always been born in young men since ancient times. The ancients have never deceived me!"
"I will let the military and your research institute coordinate the specific details at that time."
At this time, Su Che also saw that Zhang Xingyang seemed to have not slept for a long time, and pulled Qian Siming over who was still thinking hard about the materials on the stage.
He said hello to the sleepy Zhang Xingyang and Geng Bo, who was looking at the experimental records and was contemplating, and prepared to leave.
However, Qian Siming did not want to leave and shouted:
"I do not go!"
"Old Su, don't pull me!!"
"Xingyang, is your research institute still short of people?!"
"I can come over right away and be a lab assistant!!!"
Qian Siming is a madman in materials science. Now that he has seen such powerful materials, it is not that easy to let him go.
In the end, it was Su Che and Geng Bo who pulled Santana back to the outside of the institute.
However, Su Che had an ominous premonition when he saw Qian Siming sitting in the back row, still thinking about the materials and mumbling to himself.
It seems that I am going to the Aerospace University this time to send out a professor of materials science.
I may soon lose this colleague who I have worked with for several years.
Zhang Xingyang, who was at the Rocket Research Institute, had fallen into sleep.
In the dream, I returned to the past era, riding the "Qinglong" space battleship, traveling through the endless sea of stars!
