Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Chapter 242 Going to Beihang University for wind tunnel testing

However, Zhou Tian was limited by the level of domestic industrial development and he had no other choice. This also made him secretly determined to speed up the development of the domestic electronics industry.

After all, regardless of the later home appliance industry, according to the memory of the previous life, the electronics industry was an industry with great development potential even in the previous life.

"Commander, what problem makes you so serious?"

After hearing Zhou Tian's words, Lu Ming asked with some confusion.

As they spent more and more time with the leader, they became more and more impressed by his ability to learn, and to constantly draw inferences from one instance and continuously improve on the original basis. To be honest, they had never seen or heard of such an ability.

At first, they thought that the leader was only gifted in machinery and weapons, but the reality was that he was gifted in learning. When they thought of this, they dared to conclude that the leader would become the best craftsman in the country in the future.

"Wind tunnel experiment!"

Zhou Tian ignored the four people's thoughts and spoke with a serious expression.

A wind tunnel is an experimental facility used to simulate the effects of airflow on objects. It can generate airflows of different speeds and characteristics in a controllable environment to study the aerodynamic characteristics of objects.

Wind tunnels are a key means of determining the aerodynamic characteristics of objects such as aircraft. By conducting simulation experiments in wind tunnels, aerodynamic characteristics data close to actual flight can be obtained. The success of air-to-air missiles is naturally inseparable from wind tunnel testing, which is beyond doubt.

The four of them immediately nodded solemnly.

At present, the research progress of air-to-air missiles is only short of a guidance system. The radar has been developed, so the remaining is the combination of radar and air-to-air missiles. This is not too difficult for any of them.

However, the most important thing is what parameters the anti-aircraft missile they are studying can achieve and whether it is successful. Only through wind tunnel testing can we determine whether a missile is truly successful.

"Okay, don't worry, everyone. After all, we designed the missile. We know whether there are any problems or not. I believe that the anti-aircraft missile we designed will be successful!"

Seeing the solemn expressions of the four people, Zhou Tian also knew that what he said just now made them completely sober. After all, the anti-aircraft missile had not yet been completely successful, and now they had only crossed a threshold.

"Understood, Chief!"

When the four heard what the leader said, their expressions immediately relaxed a lot.

Next, the five people began to dock and combine the radar and anti-aircraft missiles.

Three days later, the anti-aircraft missile was thoroughly researched.

On this day, the army chief, Mr. Xu, who had received the news, came to the underground laboratory early in the morning and watched them busy. When they saw that the five people had completely assembled the missile, everyone's face relaxed. Mr. Xu then walked up and asked, "Xiaotian, how is it, is it finished?"

"Reporting to the commander, everything is done, but it depends on whether it can pass the wind tunnel test."

Hearing Mr. Xu's question, Zhou Tian immediately said with a serious expression.

"Well, this isn't the first time we've met, so don't be so reserved. You guys are able to develop anti-aircraft missiles at this time, which is a great help to our country!"

Old Xu was pleased and patted Zhou Tian on the shoulder. He remembered that when he first met this young man at the military factory, he was still so immature. He didn't expect that in just one year, he had developed to his current level. It was really a young man to be feared.

"As for the wind tunnel test, Xiao Sun, go and call Director Wu right away and ask them to vacate the wind tunnel for a few days!" As he said that, he turned around and instructed his secretary.

"Okay, Chief!"

Secretary Xiao Sun responded, turned around and ran outside.

After receiving a call from Xu's secretary Xiao Sun, the newly appointed Director Wu naturally did not dare to disobey his superior's orders. He quickly stopped the ongoing experimental project and vacated the wind tunnel.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, a military truck pulling a strange-looking object entered AVIC, followed by two jeeps.

The car soon stopped at the entrance of the wind tunnel laboratory of Beihang University, and Zhou Tian and Xu Lao got out of the jeep at the same time. An old man in military uniform and a dozen middle-aged men in military uniforms were standing at the entrance of the laboratory. When they saw the two people coming down, they hurriedly came to greet them.

"Welcome, old leader!"

From the old man's words, Zhou Tian knew that the old man should be acquainted with Old Xu. Sure enough, Old Xu seemed to be very casual when talking to the old man.

"Xiao Wu, we haven't seen each other for a while. Come, let me introduce you!"

Mr. Xu first exchanged pleasantries with Director Wu, then pulled Zhou Tian over and said, "This is Zhou Tian, ​​the director of the newly built Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory, and also the most outstanding talent in the field of industrial machinery in China!"

"Zhou Tian, ​​I seem to have heard of this name. By the way, aren't you the Master Zhou who invented the horizontal lathe, boring machine, rocket launcher, and howitzer some time ago?"

Director Wu said this, and suddenly raised his head and asked in shock.

"Director Wu, it's me, but the research of those machine tools and weapons is not just my own work. You're too kind!"

Zhou Tian was not unfamiliar with Director Wu. In his previous life, he had learned about some of Director Wu's personal experiences. Facing such a big shot in the industry, he did not dare to be arrogant at all.

But while he was admiring her, he couldn't help but feel curious. According to history, it seemed that the other party should be working at Peking University at this time. Was the butterfly effect appearing again?

However, this butterfly effect had already occurred before, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Good! Good! That's right. It is definitely a blessing for our country and our nation that we have such a rare talent like you!"

Seeing Zhou Tian being so humble, Director Wu had a better impression of him.

"Thank you for your praise, senior. Zhou Tian still has many shortcomings. I will definitely learn more from you in the future!"

"Okay, you two stop praising each other. Xiao Wu, is the wind tunnel I asked you to prepare ready?"

Old Xu, who was standing by, couldn't help but twitch his lips when listening to what the two said. He felt that everything about these literati was good, but there was one thing that he couldn't stand, that was that they flattered each other without limit.

"Commander, we are ready. I just don't know what you need to test?"

Hearing Mr. Xu's question, Director Wu immediately ended his conversation with Zhou Tian and couldn't help but glance at the strange equipment on the back of the truck.

"What else could it be? It's the latest anti-aircraft missile this guy has developed!"

Old Xu pretended to be indifferent, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, which showed that facing Zhou Tian's development of anti-aircraft missiles, he was not as calm as he seemed.

"Anti-air missiles?"

Now, Director Wu was a little confused. What is an anti-aircraft missile? It is a weapon that only Big Brother and a few Western countries like the Bald Eagle Country have the conditions to research.

However, he was very clear about the level of my country's industrial development and knew that the conditions for research were simply not available.

But now the leader actually said that Zhou Tian has developed an anti-aircraft missile. How could he believe it?

If he didn't know the chief's temper well, he would have retorted back.

Shocked, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Tian again. Looking at his young and handsome face, he really couldn't associate anti-aircraft missiles with this young man. Even though he knew that this young man had proven his ability through a series of machine tools and weapons, he still couldn't believe that he could develop anti-aircraft missiles.
