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

Chapter 172 The Iron Behemoth was Successfully Developed [Request for Full Order]

Carbon fiber composite material technology is now mainly monopolized by Jusa and Foot Basin.

It is difficult to produce, the production process is complicated, the production cost is high, the output is very low, and of course the price is also very expensive.

Today's carbon fiber composite material technology is mainly used in military, aerospace and other fields.

The price is much more expensive than gold.

As for carbon fiber technology, Yusa strictly guards it and will never let countries like Longguo obtain it.

Therefore, carbon fiber composite materials are a huge vacuum field in the country.

In the 70s, although Long Guo also conducted corresponding research, there were basically no results.

Feng Yunshang was very excited. After the results came out, he immediately called Wang Haoran to report the good news.

Wang Haoran was also excited when he heard the news.

Because he knows how important carbon fiber composite materials are to a country's industrial development.

High modulus carbon fiber is widely used in the aerospace field and can greatly promote the development of aircraft, rockets and missiles.

Standard modulus carbon fiber shines in the fields of automobiles, mechanical equipment, bulletproof vests, etc.

Even low modulus carbon fiber can greatly improve the quality of products in civilian fields such as fishing rods, bicycles, medical treatment, construction, furniture, clothing, etc.

The so-called modulus refers to the ratio of stress to strain of a material under stress. It is an important indicator of material mechanics.

The value of the modulus directly reflects the material's ability to resist deformation when subjected to stress.

The larger the modulus value, the less likely the material is to deform.

Wang Haoran immediately rushed to Feng Yunshang's laboratory excitedly.

Feng Yunshang had been waiting at the door for Wang Haoran to arrive.

After seeing Wang Haoran, he strode forward, shook Wang Haoran's hand tightly, and said, "Comrade Haoran, thank you!"

"Without you, we would never be able to overcome the difficulties in developing carbon fiber!"

When Wang Haoran handed over the task of developing carbon fiber composite materials to Feng Yunshang, he had already clearly explained the difficulties in the development, the processes that needed to be solved, the equipment that might be used, and the raw materials for processing.

Of course, explaining things clearly does not mean that they can be accomplished immediately.

Even to implement what Wang Haoran instructed, it would require long-term work in the laboratory and cooperation from all parties.

Fortunately, however, there is sufficient research and development funding and strong cooperation.

Therefore, Feng Yunshang and his team basically don’t have to worry about anything else. They just need to devote themselves to research and development.

Even so, it took Feng Yunshang's team several months to solve all the problems and finally achieved the final major results.

Wang Haoran smiled and said to Feng Yunshang: "I just provided some ideas, but the work mainly depends on you to do it yourself."

“So, your contribution is the main one.”

Feng Yunshang waved his hand and said, "No, no! Comrade Haoran, in the field of scientific research, the correct direction and ideas are the most important."

"You have given us all the technical directions and process ideas. Unfortunately, we still took too long to produce results."

“I feel a little ashamed about this!”

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "It's already very fast."

"Comrade Aimin from Beijing Institute of Technology is indeed faster than you in developing ultra-high-strength steel, but he is working with Shougang!"

"You need to start from scratch. You need to practice and master all the equipment and process standards. The production of carbon fiber composite materials is very complicated. If you make a mistake, all your efforts will be wasted."

"Let's go and see your results."

Feng Yunshang accompanied Wang Haoran into the laboratory.

Feng Yunshang's laboratory is quite large, and there are many staff members busy working inside.

All the graduate students led by Feng Yunshang are working on this project.

Feng Yunshang even picked out some outstanding undergraduate students to participate in the research project.

With the coordination of Wang Haoran, he also found other colleagues in majors such as mechanics and mathematics to help him.

Feng Yunshang accompanied Wang Haoran in. Everyone in the laboratory was busy with their work while secretly paying attention to Wang Haoran's arrival.

"Comrade Haoran, we are now testing the performance parameters of the carbon fiber composite material we developed."

"We will soon know what level of results we have achieved."

Wang Haoran watched the staff's operation with great interest and said, "Let's wait and see."

"We hope to be able to develop very high-quality carbon fiber composite materials so that we can use them in large quantities on the J-10 fighter."

After a while, the test results came out.

One of Feng Yunshang's students walked over excitedly with a piece of paper in his hand and said, "Teacher, the parameters of the carbon fiber material we developed are amazing!"

"The tensile strength reaches 5.9GPa, the tensile modulus can reach 294GPa, the tear elongation is 1.80%, the bulk density is 450g per cubic centimeter, and the linear density is G per kilometer!"

There was warm applause in the laboratory.

Feng Yunshang's face turned red with joy.

"If this data is true, it is much better than the best carbon fiber in Jusa!"

Although they could not obtain Jusa's carbon fiber technology, they have published many related papers.

Today, Dragon Country pays great attention to collecting academic journals from Lizard Country.

Feng Yunshang has also read almost all the important research papers by lizard material scientists in recent years.

Therefore, he knew that the parameters of Lizard's most advanced carbon fiber materials were much lower than what the student had just read.

That's why he couldn't believe his ears.

The student said: "Teacher, when we measured these data for the first time, we were a little bit unconvinced, so we measured it a second time in a row."

“There should be absolutely no problem with the data.”

Feng Yunshang said: "Then I will test it myself and see."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I'll be helping Teacher Feng."

Feng Yunshang waved his hands quickly: "Comrade Haoran, how can I let you help me?"

"Just stand by and witness it."

Feng Yunshang's heart was beating wildly at this moment.

My palms are sweating.

Because, if the data measured by the students just now is true, it means that this achievement not only breaks through the blockade of the Lizard State and fills the domestic gap, but also indicates that it is leading the world!

This achievement is enough to make him leave his name in history.

This is also the main reason why he is so excited.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "It's my honor to help Teacher Feng, haha!"

"Let's go together!"

Therefore, Wang Haoran and Feng Yunshang began to retest the newly developed carbon fiber composite materials.

They inspected very carefully and meticulously, and their operations were very standard and normative.

The inspection took more than 30 minutes and was finally completed.

Every data parameter is exactly the same as what Feng Yunshang’s students had just researched.

Feng Yunshang looked through the data that he and Wang Haoran had tested. He smiled and said, "It seems that we have really developed a carbon fiber material that is of higher quality and grade than those in Europe and the United States!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Congratulations to Teacher Feng and everyone in the team!"

"Just this one achievement is enough for you to win the national first prize for scientific and technological inventions!"

Feng Yunshang laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close.

"Teacher Wang, the credit mainly goes to you. I am just helping you."

Wang Haoran waved his hand and said, "The main credit goes to you and your team!"

"There is no doubt about that!"

"Teacher Feng can continue to conduct in-depth research on carbon fiber composite materials and strive to develop a series of products."

"This material will be used in a wide range of industrial fields in the future!"

"It is enough to leverage a market worth tens or hundreds of billions."

Feng Yunshang nodded and said, "I will do further research in this field."

Wang Haoran said: "The most urgent task now is to put the mass production of carbon fiber on the agenda."

"This area still requires Mr. Feng's attention. Isn't our Beijing Chemical Fiber Factory under construction?"

"You guys should work together to get the production equipment and production line ready as soon as possible, and strive to achieve successful mass production within half a year."

Feng Yunshang nodded and said, "I will do my best."

"Moreover, these small devices in our laboratory can also contribute to the production of some accessories according to the schedule of the J-10."

Wang Haoran nodded: "This is the best."

"If we can use carbon fiber parts on the J-10 fighter, then the weight of the aircraft can be reduced a lot."

……

Almost at the same time as the good news about carbon fiber composite materials came out, the 8-ton die-forging hydraulic press was finally developed. This huge steel beast was installed in the Beijing Lathe Factory.

It is 42 meters high and weighs 2.2 tons.

Without national will, it would be impossible to create it.

In order to build this machine, the country mobilized many steel mills, machinery plants, and lathe factories to participate.

Finally, it was done in more than half a year.

Moreover, a huge steel structure factory was specially built for it.

After this behemoth was built, Wang Haoran rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

It is an important equipment in aircraft manufacturing.

In the future, many major national projects will also need it.

Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation Director Feng Mingxin, Chief Engineer Ge Xiaobing and several leaders from the machinery department were all present at the scene.

In fact, these leaders of the Ministry of Machinery visited the site many times during the construction of this huge machine.

Feng Mingxin looked up at the steel behemoth in front of him and said, "Isn't this too big?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, “There’s no other way. If it’s not big enough, we can’t process giant parts.”

Wang Mingshan, the head of the First Ministry of Machine Building, said: "How do you operate this thing?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Use auxiliary equipment to operate."

"I'll let you try it out later. It's really fun."

Wang Mingshan was very happy, rubbing his hands and saying, "Great! Looking at this big guy, I feel proud and proud from the bottom of my heart."

“This should be the largest machine in the world, right?”

Wang Haoran replied: "Yes! This is the largest die forging hydraulic press in the world, bar none."

"The largest hydraulic forging presses in Jusa and Daxiong are only 4 tons."

Zhang Mingxiang, the head of the Third Machine Department, was even more excited: "We have created another world first!"

"If this news gets out, it will definitely shock the world."

"However, we should keep a low profile. Just like the designer said, we should keep a low profile, make achievements, and develop ourselves quickly and well!"

Shi Yongjun, the head of the Seventh Machine Department, nodded and said, "That's right. We are not strong enough yet. While the two big guys are fighting, we must develop ourselves more."

"Comrade Haoran, do you want to try out this big thing today?"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Next, we will try to forge a landing gear for the J-10, a third-generation fighter jet we are researching."

"As we all know, the landing gear of an aircraft is very important. If the landing gear is not made more reliable, it can easily result in the destruction of the aircraft and the loss of life."

The vast majority of aircraft accidents occur during takeoff and landing.

Therefore, although the landing gear may seem inconspicuous, it is a very important core component.

Zhang Mingxiang smiled and said, "I heard that the J-10 is about to be launched. Is that true?"

Guo Weiyang was a little shocked: "No way? Hasn't this project been launched for less than a year?"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Although the J-10 was launched relatively late, the progress is still very fast."

"This is mainly because the comrades who participated in the research and development of this project were very helpful."

“Nowadays, almost all technical problems are being solved quickly.”

"The engine, avionics, fuselage, and various key materials have all been completed."

"In the next period of time, our main task is to build a prototype!"

"Of course, the aircraft engine is the top priority, and I am responsible for this part. We are already building the engine. I hope to take it out in January 1981 and then conduct a full range of tests to ensure that the engine's design parameters and performance can be achieved."

Zhang Mingxiang smiled and said: "Comrade Haoran said at the beginning of this year that the J-2 aircraft would be equipped to the troops within two years. At that time, I really didn't believe it at all."

"But they are making steady progress now!"

"I think it's possible that Comrade Haoran could accomplish this great task!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "The early stages of the work are the most time-consuming."

"The preliminary work has been done solidly, and the subsequent development speed will be accelerated."

"I am confident that I can complete this project within the time I promised and start improving our air force capabilities from a realistic level."

Several leaders of ministries and commissions smiled and expressed their great anticipation.

Next, Wang Haoran began to personally use an 8-ton die-forging hydraulic press to build the J-10 aircraft landing gear.

The forging die had naturally been made long ago.

Wang Haoran was seen operating the auxiliary equipment skillfully, putting the material 406 steel into the working platform of the die forging hydraulic press.

Then he set up the working procedures on the machine's control computer.

Finally, he pressed the start button.

The huge machine began to roar.

Although this machine is huge, it works very skillfully.

The material is like dough under its forging pressure.

There are workers assisting in the operation.

The scene became quiet.

Everyone was watching this astonishing scene before their eyes.

A landing gear weighing two to three hundred kilograms gradually takes shape on the workbench of this machine.

Of course, this is just a rough draft, and it will definitely need further finishing and processing later.

It only took a few minutes to build a landing gear.

Afterwards, the auxiliary equipment took out the landing gear and started the subsequent processing and polishing.

In less than an hour, a standard landing gear appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone at the scene was shocked.

Especially when we learned that the parameters of this landing gear far exceeded those of previous similar products, everyone was even more excited and surprised.

The most excited person was Shi Yongjun from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

Because aviation rockets require a large number of large parts to manufacture.

In the past, these large components were almost all forged manually, which was very time-consuming and the quality was not very high.

"Comrade Haoran, can this machine process extra-large rings?" Shi Yongjun asked, holding Wang Haoran's hand.

Wang Haoran smiled and nodded, "Of course."

"This is a giant 8-ton hydraulic forging press that can forge parts weighing up to tons."

"In the future, you can use it to process your rocket's oversized rings and oversized parts without any problem."

Shi Yongjun laughed: "Haha! Great! Great! Then let's apply and try it today, okay?"

Wang Haoran said, “We can give the staff the detailed design and process specifications of the parts, and then make the forging die first, and then we can try it out.”

Shi Yongjun nodded and said, "I will immediately have someone give you the process design drawings of the super-large components of our new rocket."

"In the past, it took a lot of manpower, material resources and time to build a large rocket."

"I hope that with this machine, we can speed up and improve efficiency."

A few days later, the aerospace sector's first super-large ring was produced by an 8-ton die-forging hydraulic press.

This super-large ring has a diameter of 6 meters and weighs more than 30 tons.

In the past, it would have taken hundreds of people several months to create something like this.

But it only took more than a day using an 8-ton die forging hydraulic press.

The key is that the oversized rings forged are more precise, better quality and tougher than those made manually.

……

After Big Bear Consul Osterlund talked with Wang Haoran, he flew back to China on the pretext of vacation.

His status is still quite high.

Moreover, he has a good relationship with Emperor Xun and belongs to Emperor Xun's faction.

Although Big Bear and Dragon don’t have a very good relationship now.

However, Big Bear still regards Dragon Kingdom as one of the most important and dominant forces in the world.

Of course, we need to send an important person to take charge.

That's why Ostlund came to the dragon.

After Osterlund returned, he immediately asked to report to the Emperor.

Emperor Xun also agreed immediately.

After Osterlund met Emperor Xun, he recounted his visit to Wang Haoran and his conversation with Wang Haoran.

After hearing this, Emperor Xun's expression turned a little ugly.
