Antigravity Behavior Research Center.
The team sent by the Aeronautical Materials Institute to assist in research has arrived.
The leader of the team is Wei Yongxin. He is an expert in metal alloy testing at the Academy of Materials Science and Technology. He has participated in many major materials research projects and has also been named an academician of the Academy of Engineering.
The arrival of Wei Yongxin is enough to prove the importance of the Aviation Industry Group.
Wei Yongxin is also very interested in research. The only thing he knows is that it is related to anti-gravity research, but he does not understand why anti-gravity research can be connected with material research issues.
After arriving at the research center, Wei Yongxin met Wang Hao and then learned the specific research content.
This research is still confidential to other people who come here. Only Wei Yongxin is qualified to know the specific content. The others are just cooperating in the work.
Wang Hao just said briefly, which surprised Wei Yongxin, "Superimposed force field, I seem to have heard of the magnetization effect at the edge of the force field..."
"This is really interesting!"
A professional materials research expert is most interested in doing some novel research. The magnetization effect of superimposed force field edges on materials is undoubtedly a very attractive topic.
After knowing the content of the work, Wei Yongxin immediately led the team to get involved and continuously tested the properties of the magnetized material.
The experimental finished steel provided by Peng Hui's team is also one of the important materials tested.
Wang Hao is sure that the magnetization effect can help reduce the oxygen content of special steel, but he doesn't know how to reduce it.
The findings of this study are also very important for theoretical exploration.
The entire team began to think of various methods to conduct research. Later, they even used a specific method to dissolve the manufactured steel ingots and magnetize them in liquid form at great risk, and finally made the discovery.
After the experiment was completed, Wei Yongxin immediately led the team to conduct detailed measurements, and then said to Wang Hao, "We are very sure that the magnetization effect is effective for liquid alloys."
"Normal re-cooling and solidification of alloys exhibit different behaviors than those caused by magnetization effects."
"Simply put, the liquid alloy through the magnetization effect will show stronger toughness after solidification."
Wei Yongxin finished speaking affirmatively and added, "This conclusion is certain, but it is difficult to say whether it has a positive effect."
"What do you mean?" Wang Hao was a little confused.
Wei Yongxin explained, "An alloy that is remelted and solidified is no longer the original alloy, and exhibits completely different properties."
"..."
Wang Hao understood after thinking about it.
They melted the special steel provided by Peng Hui's team, and then magnetized it in liquid form through the edge of the superimposed force field.
However, if special steel is melted and then solidified, it is no longer special steel. After a certain kind of steel is melted, it is equivalent to damage.
It is difficult to say how meaningful it is to measure damaged steel.
"But Academician Wei, your conclusion is still very important." Wang Hao first confirmed the conclusion, then thought for a while and said, "You can do this, find some materials in the alloy manufacturing process, such as materials that have just been slag removed and deoxidized. , it will have no effect if it melts and solidifies again.”
"Then, send the materials back, continue to make them into alloys, and then test them..."
Wang Hao explained his thoughts.
Wei Yongxin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Academician Wang, your idea is really great. Maybe you can actually make some discoveries."
"But we can't find a materials institute, we have to find a steel manufacturing plant nearby."
"Right."
Wang Hao nodded to confirm.
There are several steel manufacturing factories in Xihai City, but they are all small manufacturers. They only manufacture ordinary steel and can only compete in the low-end market.
Because the research involves a certain degree of confidentiality, the relevant work is left to the superior department.
The door is solved.
…
When research has a definite method, it will be much easier to make discoveries.
The method determined by Wang Hao and Wei Yongxin is also very simple. During the steel manufacturing process, the raw materials that have been initially deoxidized are melted and magnetized by superimposing the edge of the force field, and then returned to the original factory for normal subsequent processes.
After detailed measurement of the steel produced in this way and comparison with other steels, the effect of the magnetization treatment can be judged.
The cooperative factory conducts a round of production of specific steel materials, and the magnetization research of the superimposed force field is also completed.
This time Wei Yongxin was very sure.
He stood at the door of the testing room and said with excitement, "Academician Wang, we have studied several batches of steel and have completely determined that magnetization can increase the toughness of the alloy."
"To be specific, it reduces the oxygen content, and it reduces it greatly."
"The oxygen content of this batch of steel is about 300pp, but the oxygen content of the steel produced through magnetization is only about 80pp."
"This improvement is huge."
Wei Yongxin nodded excitedly, "If the same method is used on bearing steel that requires the highest toughness, the effect will probably be very obvious."
"We estimate that by adding magnetization, we can produce bearing steel with an oxygen content of about 4pp!"
He finished the last sentence very forcefully.
After hearing the data, Wang Hao twitched his lips and said, "Academician Wei, are you making a bearing steel of about 5pp for comparison?"
"yes?"
Wei Yongxin didn't understand what was wrong.
Wang Hao smiled and said, "Professor Peng Hui's team at the Metal Laboratory of Xijing Jiaotong University has been able to produce special steel with an oxygen content of about 4pp."
"!?"
Wei Yongxin was stunned for a moment, "Really? Why didn't I know?"
"I guess when you came here, the formal report hadn't been submitted yet!" Wang Hao then asked, "Academician Wei, do you think using 4pp steel for comparison, after magnetization, the steel can reach 3pp?"
Wei Yongxin was still digesting the news just now, and he was really surprised.
Oxygen content 4pp
how did you do that?
If magnetization is used and new technology is added to the manufacturing process, it is not surprising to reach 4pp, or even higher.
But, Peng Hui’s team?
Peng Hui?
Can that guy have the ability to develop special steel that can catch up with the highest level in the world?
After thinking about it, he realized Wang Hao's question and said, "I'm not sure about this. We can give it a try."
Wang Hao nodded, "Indeed, then we will contact Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and ask them to provide materials. We will magnetize them and then send them back to try."
After he finished speaking, he was ready to leave.
Wei Yongxin asked vigorously, "Academician Wang, please tell me more in detail, I really believe that the man named Peng has such ability!"
"this……"
Wang Hao hesitated for a moment, then explained, "I also participated."
Wei Yongxin immediately took a breath and nodded vigorously, "No wonder!"
"I'm just saying, Peng Hui? It's impossible!"
…
Although the effect of the magnetization effect on the deoxidation of special steel has not yet been completely determined, because certain experiments have been conducted, adding a step of magnetization deoxidation treatment will definitely have positive significance for the oxygen content of the steel.
At this point, the research can be said to be over for the time being.
The next step is to cooperate with Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to provide relevant materials, and the Anti-Gravity Research Center will perform magnetization processing.
Then it’s time to wait for the results.
For special steels, oxygen content is a very important indicator. To a certain extent, reducing the oxygen content
The toughness of steel can be increased by increasing the amount, because deoxidation is an early process of steel manufacturing. Subsequent manufacturing will add a lot of elements to the raw materials. Oxygen can react with many elements, which will increase the impurity content of steel.
When the impurity content of steel increases, the toughness and service life will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, reducing the oxygen content of steel is directly related to the quality of steel.
Of course.
Even if a new alloy deoxidation method is developed, that is, using anti-gravity superimposed force fields to perform magnetization deoxidation treatment, it is impossible for the related technology to be used in steel manufacturing in a short time.
The confidentiality of antigravity research is a key issue.
Current anti-gravity research is actually not completely confidential. Creating high-intensity anti-gravity fields and creating high-intensity superimposed force fields are very important confidentiality technologies, and they are also the most advanced research in the world.
Even if the 'magnetization deoxidation treatment' process is important to the manufacturing of special steel, it is impossible to provide high-end anti-gravity technology to the factory.
Wang Hao's demand is to manufacture a batch of super steel to supply the bearings needed to build anti-gravity aircraft.
That's all.
Related technologies will definitely continue to be used in the future, but in fact, by using bearing steel with an oxygen content of 4pp and improving the bearing manufacturing technology, the bearing steel produced has reached the international level and is sufficient to support applications in many directions.
So Wang Hao's next step was to go to Hanshi Industrial.
He did not go alone, but went with the No. 2 leader to inspect high-end precision companies. Hanshi Industry was only one of the companies inspected.
Wang Hao visited the bearing steel production line with the inspection team and obtained all the information on the bearing production process technology.
He then discussed with the technical team members of Hanshi Industrial and conducted an exchange of opinions and analysis on improving the bearing manufacturing process and some major technical difficulties.
In the end, Wang Hao left Hanshi Industries with more than a dozen suggestions.
Each of these dozen suggestions can have a positive meaning, and together they will definitely help improve the accuracy and quality of bearings.
As for how much it can be improved, it depends on the implementation of Hanshi Industry.
Wang Hao estimates that Hanshi Industrial's bearing manufacturing technology can at best reach the world's first-class level, and it can rank in the dozen or so when compared around the world.
The reason why it still cannot reach the top international level is mainly due to the impact of high-end manufacturing equipment.
Hanshi Industry does not have the most first-class production lines. Many of the most high-end lathes and equipment are banned for sale in China, so production will naturally be relatively poor.
This is all Wang Hao can do. He cannot conjure high-end equipment out of thin air.
But with 'super bearing steel', advanced materials, coupled with world-class bearing production technology, it is enough to produce the most high-end large bearings.
that's enough.
Large bearings of this level can already be used in anti-gravity aircraft and other fields with high demand for bearings.
For example, civilian subways, high-end machinery, and lathes.
For example, military tanks and fighter planes.
etc.
After returning to the capital from Hanshi Industry, Wang Hao participated in meetings related to the development of high-end manufacturing.
In recent years, the high-end manufacturing field has been a key industry in China. Naturally, it has received a lot of policy support, and many conferences have been organized around this direction.
Wang Hao attended a research support meeting.
There are too many fields related to high-end manufacturing. It is impossible for the country to support every direction, so meetings need to be held for discussion.
However, Wang Hao will basically not make any statement. He is just invited by the leader to attend the meeting.
After the meeting, Wang Hao was invited to have a casual meal with the leader and talk about research and technology issues.
Leader No. 2’s concerns are no different from those of others.
For physicists
Generally speaking, Wang Hao's most important research is the force of annihilation.
Now it is the strong annihilation force, the superposition force field, and the relevant physical theory analysis.
For most people, Wang Hao's most important research is anti-gravity technology, the research on anti-gravity aircraft, because anti-gravity aircraft are real applied research, and they can be seen and applied in the future.
The leader briefly talked to Wang Hao about the content of the meeting, and the topic immediately turned to the anti-gravity aircraft, "I heard that your aircraft can already fly autonomously?"
Wang Hao swallowed what was in his mouth before replying, "Some time ago, we improved the landing gear and now it can take off and land normally."
The leader asked with concern, "Are there any technical difficulties? Apart from the spindle."
"When it comes to difficulties... there are many." Wang Hao hesitated and thought for a moment, "There are still many areas for improvement, such as safety issues and electronic systems. I am not satisfied with the performance of the thrusters. In fact, the most The good thing is superconducting thrusters, but there is no perfect technology yet.”
"If we can use superconducting thrusters, we can make the aircraft reach the highest speed."
"The performance of current electric thrusters is still too poor. In addition, the control is uneven and generates more heat, which has a great impact on the cooling system inside and outside the entire aircraft."
"besides……"
Wang Hao asked a lot of questions in succession.
For an aircraft supported by new technology, there are too many technical problems that need to be overcome.
Wang Hao couldn't even control it completely.
It is impossible for him to overcome so many technical difficulties by himself, so he can only solve the most important problems, and the rest can only be completed by other teams.
Leader No. 2 pretended to listen patiently, but in fact, he already had a headache. Later, he simply pretended to eat and ate while listening.
Wang Hao also found that the leader did not understand, so he simply stopped talking.
The leader took a breath and seemed to have been digesting it for a long time before saying, "If you have any problems, just ask Minister Xu of the Ministry of Science and Technology. If you can solve it, I will give you my full support."
After he finished speaking, he asked, "Academician Wang, when do you think this aircraft will be perfected?"
"Complete?"
The leader hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Not to mention that it can be officially put into service, but at least it can fly flexibly like a new fighter jet? Can it be demonstrated." After he finished speaking, he added, "Of course, the priority must be to ensure stability. sex and safety.”
"this……"
Wang Hao thought for a while and said distressedly, "It's too early to say this now. I guess it will take a long time."
"How many years will it take?"
"It's going to take a year anyway."
"..."
After hearing this, the leader was silent for a long time, seeming to be thinking about the relationship between 'one year' and 'a long time'. Then he asked, "Is it possible to do it in October next year?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Hao funny.
This sentence is actually a bit of a joke. October is a very important time because a very important military parade will be held.
October next year is very close now, and it is impossible in anyone's opinion to put an anti-gravity aircraft on the military parade.
In such a major international situation, there must be no problems at all.
Obviously.
The leaders also thought it was impossible.
Wang Hao's reaction was unexpected. He thought carefully and said, "With enough support, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"In fact, most of the time is spent waiting. We make a completely new design, whether it is the main body or accessories. It takes a long time to wait."
"For example, the shell of our customized aircraft was made of a layer of iron sheet during testing. It took two months for the shell to be delivered."
"If the manufacturing problems can be solved and there is enough support, I personally think there is hope."
After hearing this, the leader asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"
"certainly."
Wang Hao said it with certainty.
"good!"
When they think about seeing an anti-gravity aircraft in October next year, the leaders feel excited.
He firmly promised, "Academician Wang, I believe in you. I will pay special attention to this research. If there are any manufacturing problems that the Ministry of Science and Technology and Aviation cannot solve, just come to me directly and I will solve them!" "
"I'm looking forward to this aircraft so much--"
Wang Hao suddenly smiled and affirmed, "Don't worry, it will definitely work!"
He is also looking forward to it!
