The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 157 Materials, and more materials!
The car stopped and Wang Heng and three others got out.

Zhang Yunqiu was still angry when he got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

Xie Liangwu glanced at Zhang Yunqiu's flushed face. He wanted to say something but held back.

Wang Heng frowned and said, "Comrade Yunqiu, what is your attitude?"

"You can still continue the development of the J-8. No one will stop you."

"Besides, our work is for the country, not for personal gain!"

"I've already explained to you just now that the J-8 is indeed a bit outdated. It's normal to develop a new fighter while developing the J-8!"

"Don't bring your emotions to work, okay?!"

Zhang Yunqiu was furious at the moment. He said angrily: "I am also very sad about the waste of national resources!"

"We are a poor country. We don't have many resources. We should focus on doing one thing first, and then we can think of other things, right?"

Wang Heng shook his head and said, "This is a bit unreasonable!"

"Then let me ask you, do you agree that the J-8 is behind the times?"

"Compared to the main fighter jets currently in service in Jusa, is it not already a huge generation gap before it is successfully developed?"

Today, the F16 has entered service and has quickly become popular around the world.

It is precisely because of the service of the F16 that Jusa began to surpass the Big Bear in air power.

In addition to outperforming the Su-16 in low-altitude acceleration, climbing ability, and agility, the F27 also has excellent rolling performance. Moreover, its high-altitude capability is not inferior to that of the Su-27.

The F16 also has more powerful avionics capabilities than the Su-27, and is far ahead in radar technology and electronic control.

The reason for this situation is mainly because Big Bear has been crushed by Yusa in terms of chips and electronic software and hardware.

Zhang Yunqiu shook his head and said, "We shouldn't follow Yosabiya."

"There's no way we can beat it."

“We are now comparing ourselves to the second tier.”

"I think that if our J-8 can be successfully developed, it will definitely have an advantage in the second echelon!"

"Especially, our airborne radar is not bad at all!"

Zhang Yunqiu started to debate with Wang Heng.

Wang Heng laughed and said, "Who developed the airborne radar that you mentioned that has decent performance?!"

Zhang Yunqiu was stunned, and then he stammered, not knowing what to say.

Wang Heng said meaningfully: "Comrade Yunqiu! You should have a broader vision! Who says we must be second-rate?!"

"In military struggle, there is no distinction between first-class and second-class!"

"The opponent we are facing is not a second-rate opponent!"

"We must strive to be better and stronger!"

"Can you believe it? Our chip R&D and manufacturing capabilities are now world-class!"

"Also, our color TV production technology used to be second-rate, but now it is world-class."

“We can only become better if we pursue better!”

"Think about it!"

The anger in Zhang Yunqiu's heart finally subsided a little.

But he still felt a little aggrieved.

Zhang Yunqiu said: "Principal, I am also considering the interests of our school!"

"The J-8 is almost dominated by our school!"

“It’s almost coming out.”

"It would be a shame if I gave up again and participated in the new aircraft research project led by Wang Haoran."

"Even if it succeeds in the future, the greatest credit will go to Wang Haoran."

"What else can we get?"

Wang Heng shook his head and said, "Your thinking is wrong!"

"Don't just think about the interests of one person or one unit!"

"It depends on the greater interests of the country!"

"Comrade Haoran has come all the way here to cooperate with us, so we should actively participate in it! Make the greatest contribution to the country's aviation industry!"

"As long as we make efforts, I firmly believe that we will be able to gain more!"

"I still say the same thing, the J-8 can still be developed!"

"If it can't be the main model, it can be used as a supplementary model in the future!"

Zhang Yunqiu shook his head, looking unconvinced: "The aircraft Wang Haoran is planning to develop hasn't even started yet!"

"Why should the aircraft he makes be the main model?"

"I can't figure it out."

Wang Heng felt a little helpless.

He knew that many scientists were stubborn and single-minded and would not listen to other people's opinions.

Wang Heng said: "Comrade Yunqiu, no matter what research you do, the final results will inevitably have a standard for evaluation, right?"

"If the J-8 project you presided over is indeed excellent after the final evaluation, then it is very likely to be used as the main fighter!"

"Okay, Comrade Haoran's plane should be arriving soon. Let's go into the airport to greet him."

Wang Heng said this and walked forward.

This military airport is heavily guarded.

Ordinary people simply cannot get close to it.

Wang Heng was allowed to enter only after reporting.

Zhang Yunqiu followed behind Wang Heng with a gloomy face.

Xie Liangwu walked almost side by side with Wang Heng.

A plane has begun to land.

Zhang Yunqiu saw clearly that it was a Boeing 707 aircraft.

Since the late 70s, Longguo has begun purchasing John Bull, Big Bear and Jusa large aircraft for use as special aircraft.

Among them, Boeing 707 is the highest grade.

Zhang Yunqiu thought, this young man is paid very well.

I actually took the 707.

Maybe, there are other important leaders coming to Chang'an this time?
The plane landed on the runway and began to taxi.

Soon, the speed slowed down, and it slowly came to the apron and stopped at the parking position.

The plane has parked.

The ramp truck also drove over.

The gangway was set up and the cabin door opened.

Wang Heng and the other three all looked towards the cabin door.

In fact, even Wang Heng felt that Wang Haoran might have come here with some big leader this time.

When the cabin door opened, Wang Haoran quickly came out.

Wang Haoran was followed by security guards.

When Zhang Yunqiu saw this scene, he was stunned.

Because, from the looks of it, Wang Haoran came directly to Chang'an on a special plane!
This is incredible.

This young man is actually qualified to take a special plane?

After his rebirth, this was Wang Haoran’s first visit to Chang’an.

He didn't expect that someone would pick him up at the airport.

He walked quickly down the gangway.

Walk towards Wang Heng, President of Northwestern Polytechnical University.

He had seen photos of Wang Heng and others, so he knew the three people who came this time.

"Comrade Haoran, welcome to Chang'an to guide our work!" Wang Heng took a step forward and said first.

Wang Haoran nodded slightly and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Principal Wang!"

"I don't dare to be your mentor. I'm here to learn from you."

Wang Haoran was very humble.

Wang Heng and Wang Haoran shook hands.

Afterwards, Wang Heng introduced Zhang Yunqiu and Wang Haoran to each other.

Wang Heng first introduced Zhang Yunqiu: "Comrade Haoran, this is Professor Zhang Yunqiu from our Aircraft Engineering Department. He is currently in charge of the research task of the J-8."

"Because you and Professor Xiao made a breakthrough in the research of Doppler pulse radar, the research of the J-8 also made a breakthrough."

Wang Haoran smiled and nodded to Zhang Yunqiu and said, "Hello, Teacher Zhang!"

"I've heard a lot about you!"

Wang Haoran took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Zhang Yunqiu.

Zhang Yunqiu still had the anger in his stomach gone.

He probably wanted to show off his character.

So, he snorted and said, "I don't dare to be your teacher!"

"You are so young, but I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."

As he spoke, he ignored the hand that Wang Haoran stretched out. Wang Heng's face immediately turned ugly.

What is this called?
Show personality?
But aren't you being a little too rude?

I'm in my fifties or sixties and have suffered a lot, so why am I still so immature?

Xie Liangwu also felt that Zhang Yunqiu was going a bit too far.

Seeing that Wang Haoran had not yet withdrawn his hand, he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Wang Haoran's hand, saying: "Hello, Comrade Haoran, let me introduce myself. My name is Xie Liangwu, and I am a teacher in the Aircraft Engineering Department of our Northwestern Polytechnical University. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future."

Wang Haoran was feeling a little embarrassed at the moment and was about to pull his hand back.

He had never seen anything like it before.

Because intellectuals generally have basic courtesy!

When Wang Haoran saw Xie Liangwu helping him out, he felt a little touched.

"Hello, Mr. Xie! I've heard of you a long time ago. You are a great authority in the field of aircraft research in our country!"

"Please give me more advice in the future!"

Wang Haoran greeted Xie Liangwu.

He moved slightly and left Zhang Yunqiu.

Zhang Yunqiu snorted again. He didn't expect Xie Liangwu to do this.

Now, he also felt that he had gone too far.

At the same time, Zhang Yunqiu was a little annoyed: What's wrong with me? Even simple interpersonal communication has problems!
Tell me, why should I show off my power to Wang Haoran when we first met?

This doesn't do me any good!

This is equivalent to offending Wang Haoran in one go!

Zhang Yunqiu was a little annoyed.

He now feels like slapping himself in the face.

Wang Heng looked at Xie Liangwu approvingly and thought to himself that Teacher Xie was more quick-witted and had a better understanding of the ways of the world.

"Cough cough!"

Wang Heng coughed and said to Wang Haoran, "Comrade Haoran, this teacher Xie is a great man in our school. He is very capable and has made great contributions to the development of the Y-5 and Y-8!"

"Yes! He is also a member of our academic department and has won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Invention Award."

Wang Haoran smiled and nodded and said, "I am very familiar with Teacher Xie."

"I have also read many of his deeds. Teacher Xie is a great scientist whom I admire. I will learn a lot from him in the future."

"I hope Mr. Xie will give me some advice."

Xie Liangwu said quickly: "I am ashamed! I am ashamed! I have only made such a small achievement. I would like to ask Comrade Haoran for more guidance in the future."

The three of them were talking in this way, leaving Zhang Yunqiu aside.

Zhang Yunqiu's face turned pale and blue.

He found that he had put himself in an embarrassing situation.

After chatting for a while, Wang Heng invited Wang Haoran to get in the car.

However, at this time, two Modou brand cars had already driven up to the side.

This is the car that will be given to Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran took one car and the other was given to the security personnel.

Wang Haoran smiled and invited Wang Heng and Xie Liangwu to ride in the same car with him, so that they could talk and discuss matters of cooperation.

Wang Heng and Xie Liangwu gladly accepted the invitation.

Neither of them spoke to Zhang Yunqiu.

Zhang Yunqiu's face beside him became increasingly grim.

He felt left out.

He thought Wang Haoran's behavior was very rude.

But there was nothing he could do.

He could only watch Wang Haoran and the other two get into a Modu brand car.

Wang Heng and Wang Haoran sat in the back row.

Xie Liangwu volunteered to take the co-pilot seat.

Then the car sped away.

Zhang Yunqiu muttered angrily, "Flatterer!"

This sentence is an insult to Xie Liangwu.

He felt that Xie Liangwu lacked some backbone.

As a senior intellectual, how can you be so self-deprecating?
He even sat in the passenger seat.

Isn't that just being willing to be inferior to others?
But Zhang Yunqiu also felt something was wrong.

Yes, he felt a little bad.

This time, I offended three people at once!
In fact, to be fair, Zhang Yunqiu's research results are not even as good as Xie Liangwu's!

The Modou brand car drove towards the city.

Wang Haoran, Wang Heng and Xie Liangwu began to explain why they wanted to start from scratch to develop a new fighter jet.

As for the reason, Wang Heng and Xie Liangwu actually knew it.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Principal Wang, Teacher Xie, I'm thinking that we should never underestimate ourselves and think that we can't compare with Yousa and Daxiong."

"We will definitely be able to develop advanced fighter jets that can rival the F16 and Su-27!"

Wang Heng nodded approvingly and said, "What I admire most is your unyielding spirit, Comrade Haoran!"

"You are right. I firmly believe that we can develop a fighter plane that is better than the two strongest ones!"

"In the past hundred years, we have indeed fallen behind due to special historical reasons, but we Dragon people are no dumber than the Lizard people. If they can do it, we can do it too!"

Xie Liangwu smiled and said: "When I see Comrade Haoran, I feel as if I see the infinite possibilities of prosperity and progress!"

"Comrade Haoran has obviously single-handedly accelerated our development in many areas!"

"In the field of aviation, miracles can definitely happen!"

Wang Haoran smiled and corrected Xie Liangwu: "It's not a miracle! The reason why our Chinese nation has re-emerged as a world power is due to our unremitting efforts and strong strength!"

Xie Liangwu nodded and said, "Yes! Comrade Haoran's confidence is really contagious."

Next, Wang Haoran began to tell Wang Heng and Xie Liangwu about his domestic third-generation aircraft development plan.

He spoke very comprehensively, covering in detail all the technical difficulties involved in the planned advanced fighter jets, and also provided solutions.

Wang Heng himself is also an aviation expert. He nodded repeatedly as he listened and was completely shocked.

Because many of what Wang Haoran talked about are bottlenecks in the development of Longguo’s aviation industry.

For example, aviation materials are a big problem.

At present, the aviation-grade high-strength steel, titanium alloy materials, aluminum alloy materials, carbon fiber materials, titanium-based composite materials, rhenium alloys, etc. that China cannot break through have greatly restricted the development of China's self-developed advanced fighter jets.

Take the J-8 currently under development as an example. It is precisely because of shortcomings in materials that this fighter has been unable to reach its best design state.

Wang Haoran described in detail his idea of ​​developing a series of high-end aviation-grade materials.

What he said was full of valuable information.

Xie Liangwu, who was sitting in the front, almost subconsciously took out his little notebook and started taking notes quickly.

Originally, there were three people discussing it, but later on, Wang Haoran was the only one speaking, while the other two listened and took notes.

The distance from the airport to the Northwestern Polytechnical University campus on Youyi Road is not short, and the car does not go particularly fast.

After more than an hour and twenty minutes, the car arrived at the destination.

"Okay, let's stop here for now." Wang Haoran said with a smile when the car stopped.

Wang Heng said with great interest: "Comrade Haoran, you spoke so well. I benefited a lot from listening to you talk about this journey!"

"Materials are indeed our shortcoming."

"If we can seize the time to develop a series of higher-quality and more advanced materials for aircraft, our aviation industry will surely achieve rapid development!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "What I am thinking about now is to start with the materials and lay a solid foundation first. Then when we develop advanced aircraft, we can get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Of course, materials need to be developed, and work in other areas cannot stop."

"Let's combine them and do all the work simultaneously."

"This is the only way to speed up the research and development of our new generation of fighter jets!"

"I promised Comrade Li Xuejun that we would produce new fighter jets within two years and meet the conditions for mass production!"

Wang Heng and Xie Liangwu were both shocked when they heard this: What the hell? Did I hear it right? Are we going to mass-produce new third-generation aircraft to equip the troops within two years?

How is this possible?
"Two years, isn't that a bit too short?" Xie Liangwu said.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "So, I have to break down the tasks quickly, make sure all the tasks are carried out simultaneously, and complete them quickly with guaranteed quality and quantity."

"Principal Wang, Teacher Xie, I sincerely hope that we can work together."

Wang Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "Comrade Haoran, the aircraft industry is quite special. We can't just rush things."

"If it's too fast, it's easy to have problems."

Xie Liangwu also said: "Yes! The desire for more and faster results in twice the effort and half the result."

"I think that being able to produce results in about five years is already incredibly fast."

Wang Haoran looked confident and said with a smile: "Let's go to the conference room and discuss it carefully. I will definitely convince you two to agree with my plan to complete a new generation of fighter jets within two years!"

Wang Heng nodded and said, "Okay, let's discuss this carefully. I also hope that Comrade Haoran can convince me of your plan."

"To be honest, I also urgently hope to develop an advanced fighter jet that can rival the Yusa and the Big Bear as soon as possible!"
