Chapter 136: Burning Money
Because his WS-15, with the wings of dreams and new vitality, will truly become a world-class engine of unparalleled excellence.
With so many superior improvements and performance accumulation, he is confident that the thrust-to-weight ratio of WS-15 can be raised to above 14, and the inlet temperature can directly exceed 2,000.
Before this, his best expectation for the step-by-step improvements of the second and third generation aircraft was just to exceed the peak of 1800°. Now, he can safely and boldly turn this expectation into reality, surpass it at will, and even climb to higher temperature peaks.
Theoretically, for every 100-degree increase in the temperature in front of the turbine, the engine thrust-to-weight ratio can be increased by 10 percent. However, this increase places enormous demands on material performance, which is extremely difficult to overcome.
But now, they have a genius who has broken through the material barrier.
Now, everything is ready, and he is looking forward to the dazzling data of WS-15 that will shock everyone. Without hesitation, Yang Wei left the office and continued to follow the progress on the front line. It seemed that he had been refueled in an instant, and he had endless energy and spirit.
After having a pleasant communication with Chief Engineer Yang and explaining the key points clearly, Wu Tong, under the guidance of Cheng Huanan, began to fill out the experimental project completion schedule. This is his responsibility as the project leader. As a national project, there is a strict supervision process for project funds and experimental progress, and targeted reports must be uploaded.
Even though they were very careful with their calculations, there was no waste of T5 alloy, and even the initial experiments were successful at once.
The experimental R&D expenses were still as high as 40 million yuan, mainly in terms of materials and instruments. According to the standard blade specifications, repeated preparations consumed a lot of materials.
In her usual math studies, she was used to just spending money on paper and pen, and the extra money was just some publishing fees. The last time she submitted an application, she filled out a project funding application of 100,000 yuan under the supervision of Teacher Li Yishen, and she was worried about how to spend it.
Now, without anyone noticing, the price has increased by hundreds of times. Before he knew it, 40 million yuan of funding had been wiped out. The cost of research and development of materials really made Wu Tong smack his tongue.
This is only the experimental cost of T5 alloy. One hundred million yuan has been allocated for the initial production cost of T4 titanium-aluminum alloy, and there is still 160 million yuan left, which is prepared for the industrial production of T5. It is expected to be no less!
Such a speed of burning money is really shocking!
"This expenditure is already conservative!" Cheng Huanan nodded with a gracious smile. Without Wu Tong's detailed deduction and prediction design, if they wanted to make this material, they might not be able to hear the sound even if they invested all the funds for this project.
When Wu Tong leads more projects, you will find that she has saved enough money.
"What are you going to research next?" Wu Tong's research and development tasks have been completed. In addition to providing remote consultation, following up on the production and preparation process, and solving possible problems, Wu Tong can finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a break.
"In terms of materials, I will organize my recent understanding of materials and continue to study the book list planned by the teacher. In terms of mathematics, I want to make a turbulence model..." Recently, with the high-density material research and development, she has a deeper understanding of the properties of various materials, molecular and atomic structures... After getting started personally, she has a deeper understanding and experience, and she wants to sort out her thoughts and findings.
While planning, Wu Tong suddenly remembered that the military training should not be completely over yet. If she went back, she should be able to catch up with the tail end.
"It's military training time now. I should go back and participate in the training, right?"
"No, Wu Tong, if you are really interested in the military training projects, I can help you contact them and arrange for you to go to the real base to touch the real stuff!" Who knows, if Wu Tong has an inspiration, it may not be impossible to make a real design. The school's targeted training project does not need to waste Wu Tong's time.
If Wu Tong wants to go there, unless it is a place with major confidential information, he should be very welcome.
"Then there's no need to bother!" Wu Tong shook her head. If it was the younger brother, he should be very interested in this area and should have training programs every day. As for her, she would rather swim in the ocean of knowledge and explore its infinite mysteries. "Teacher, I will use the laboratory instruments to familiarize myself with the structure of the current materials!"
The more you see, the more you will discover. Since he doesn't have to follow the steps of military training, Wu Tong wants to plan his time to study this aspect.
She wanted to try to find an effective rule or explanation that could explain the basis of her directional deduction in the process of preparing these two new materials, so that the research and development of materials would become traceable to a certain extent, allowing more people to produce results based on it.
No matter how useful her personal deductive ability is, after all, her personal energy is limited. A single flower does not make spring. The true prosperity we expect is when a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.
"Use it, just use it. If you need any materials that the lab doesn't have, just ask your junior brother to place a purchase order. He is familiar with the process!" Cheng Lao supported cheerfully. Students actively and spontaneously study without any urging. As a teacher, I fully support it. Materials, continuous experimentation is an eternal topic.
He was also learning to digest the ideas behind the two new materials developed by Wu Tong. Each new material had extremely superior data. How could a materialist not be excited? However, the mathematical model and the mathematical knowledge involved in the transformation really gave him a headache, and he had to rub his head and continue.
The students’ math skills are so strong that a lot of their thinking about the materials comes from math. This is Wu Tong’s specialty and also the basis for Wu Tong’s accurate prediction of the materials.
After Wu Tong successfully developed the two superior new materials T4/T5, Mr. Cheng did not plan to interfere too much in Wu Tong's learning and development. For such a gifted child, as long as he did not take a detour, there was no need to interfere too much. Just as it was difficult for them to see higher dimensions from lower dimensions, ordinary people should not interfere too much in the research thinking of such a gifted child.
With the teacher's permission, Wu Tong began to study. She did not start from an unfamiliar area, but first started with titanium, which she was currently involved in the most research.
The thermal properties, chemical properties, mechanical properties of titanium, its atomic structure and unit cell diagram... Wu Tong carefully studied step by step, from the characteristics of the material to its microstructure, and mastered it thoroughly.
Then came the properties and atomic structure of aluminum, the unit cell structure, nickel-iron elements, the atomic structure diagram of rhenium, the atomic structure diagram of magnesium... Wu Tong observed step by step, and one fine atomic structure and unit cell structure diagram after another appeared on Wu Tong's manuscript drawings.
T4 alloy molecular structure, T5 blade material molecular structure···
