The trial production of new carbon-carbon composite materials has been a great success, and the performance of the just-released finished product has basically reached 95% of the laboratory performance.
Both the workers of Factory 703 and the members of the technical guidance group of the institute are quite satisfied with this result.
Even Zhang Xingyang, who has strict production regulations, is not too dissatisfied.
In fact, in my expectation, if the material performance during trial production could reach 80% of the laboratory performance, it would be considered a success.
In order to celebrate the upcoming successful mass production of new carbon-carbon composite materials, the factory and the technical guidance team held a celebration banquet.
A large round table covered with a bright red tablecloth is placed in the factory cafeteria.
The chefs in the canteen of Factory 703 are also very good at cooking Hunan cuisine.
The big red table is full of chicken, duck and fish meat with the color of red oil and chili pepper.
The few people present who were considered leaders were not people who liked formalism.
After Hu Deming and Zhang Xingyang said a few words together about eating well and drinking well, they invited everyone to start eating.
Zhang Xingyang has been a person who likes spicy food in his two lives, so today's meal actually suits Zhang Xingyang's taste.
He picked up a pair of chopsticks and stuffed the shiny twice-cooked pork into his mouth. The dense spicy taste exploded in his mouth like small bombs.
I feel like my whole body has become active, and I am just about to try the spicy chicken made by the chef.
Hu Deming on the side picked up a large glass of beer and toasted to Zhang Xingyang:
"Dean Zhang, I'd like to toast you. Without you, our factory would probably close down."
Zhang Xingyang picked up the cup of apple juice, touched it with Hu Deming, and said:
"Everyone is just doing what they need. However, Factory 703 is now considered a unit under our Rocket Research Institute. There is no need to be so restrictive. Just be more natural."
After drinking all the apple juice in the cup, Zhang Xingyang was just about to continue eating.
Xu Yuanchao stood up again holding the wine glass, wanting to toast Zhang Xingyang.
The person representing the military at this time was Xu Yuanchao. The old leader who had come to inspect the trial production activities had returned to Beidu to report on the new material production of Factory 703.
"Dean Zhang, I'm a rough guy. I don't know what to say. I'm drunk in wine."
Xu Yuanchao said as he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
With no choice, Zhang Xingyang picked up his drink cup again and drank half a cup of apple juice.
In order to prevent a steady stream of people coming to toast him from behind, Zhang Xingyang stood up on his own initiative and said to the dozens of people at the tables in the canteen:
"To celebrate the successful completion of the new material trial production activity, let's have a drink together."
An enthusiastic response instantly echoed in the cafeteria.
"good!"
"Thank you, Dean Zhang!"
"Dean Zhang is free to do it, we will do it!"
Most of the people present were workers engaged in production, and everyone still respected the Rocket Research Institute for bringing them job opportunities.
So when Zhang Xingyang proposed to have a drink together, everyone was very happy.
Zhang Xingyang picked up the cup, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, and then said:
"Everyone, stop toasting, eat and drink well!"
Hearing this, a few people in the crowd who had originally planned to toast Zhang Xingyang so that they could show their face in front of the leader had no choice but to think about it and sit down to eat.
Zhang Xingyang was finally able to taste the chef's skills at this time.
You can feel the spiciness spreading in your mouth when you enter the spicy chicken. The muscles are tender and smooth without any hint of firewood.
Food is one of Zhang Xingyang's few hobbies in this era of backward entertainment methods.
So he cherishes the opportunity to have a good meal like this. After all, when he is busy, what he can eat depends on luck.
Just then Zhang Xingyang picked up another piece of steamed bacon and stuffed it into his mouth.
The bacon that has experienced years of precipitation is shiny and sizzling, and when you eat it, it is spicy and smooth.
"Dean Zhang likes this bacon very much. I'll ask the chef to bring you some when I leave."
As the director of a state-owned factory, Hu Deming was naturally not an idiot. He saw Zhang Xingyang's love for bacon at a glance, so he offered to let the other party take some away.
Zhang Xingyang's eyes lit up. This bacon really suited his taste, and he said with a smile:
"Then thank you. Please help me tell the chef when the time comes. Your craftsmanship is good."
When talking about food, everyone seems to have opened up a conversation box, which can enhance the relationship between the two parties.
"Then I'll thank Dean Zhang on behalf of the chef. The chef's family's ancestral craftsmanship was established before the founding of the People's Republic of China."
Hu Deming said happily when he heard Zhang Xingyang's praise.
The celebration banquet ended in such a joyful atmosphere.
That night, Zhang Xingyang took the night train back to the institute.
Looking at the dark mountains outside and the starry sky clear to the naked eye, I thought.
At present, as a material issue that is the basis of rocket engines, the core new carbon-carbon composite materials have been able to be mass-produced, and a stone in my heart has finally landed.
What is still standing in front of him now is the soul of the rocket engine, the control system.
In this regard, the current domestic mainstream still uses imported components from abroad, and the localization rate in this regard is still very low.
This is also a big problem that bothers me. After all, it is impossible for me to continue to produce electronic components.
It's not that Zhang Xingyang doesn't know the technology here, but it's another problem.
The production chain of these components is too long and cannot be handled by just one manufacturer.
Moreover, China is currently lacking in raw materials and production equipment.
After all, I am only one person and cannot take care of everything myself.
In that case, even if your body is still strong, it will be crushed sooner or later.
So is the only thing in front of me the only way to continue importing from abroad?
Zhang Xingyang frowned deeply.
It attracted the attention of Su Xiao, who was sitting opposite and going back together, and asked doubtfully:
"Brother Xingyang, what are you worried about?"
Generally, everyone only calls Zhang Xingyang Dean Zhang when working. When communicating in private, the title is much more casual.
Most people call themselves Xingyang or Brother Xingyang. After all, Zhang Xingyang is not much older than these young people.
"I'm thinking about the control system."
Su Xiao also understands that this aspect is still a shortcoming in the country. Even the last rocket accident was said to be a problem with the control system.
Su Xiao's understanding of this aspect was not much different from that of ordinary people, so she did not continue to speak.
Finally, Zhang Xingyang looked at the bright Nanmen Er in the sky and thought.
It is still necessary to try to follow the path of localization. After all, the sanctions on various domestic high-tech industries will only become more and more severe.
If we don’t take the road of localization, there will be only a dead end.
