Chapter 143 Good News
Continuous messages popped up one after another. She hadn't logged into the system for the past two days, so she had accumulated a lot of messages. Knowing that Wu Tong was doing research recently, Lu Xiao and Yang Wei didn't have anything urgent that required Wu Tong's intervention, so they chose to directly send messages to Wu Tong and wait for her to log into the system and read them slowly.
Wu Tong opened the messages one by one and saw that they were filled with smiles. It turned out to be good news.
When she was immersed in the derivation of the co-bond effect model, Yang Wei, chief engineer of the 614th Institute of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation, led the core team to work day and night, racing against time and not daring to waste a single minute.
Finally, on September 27, the re-preparation of all core components with optimized parameters was completed, and the T5 blade material was successfully replicated and prepared at Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation. Combined with the materials they had repeatedly verified and prepared before, the WS-15 with core components prepared with optimized parameters was installed, making the WS-15 look brand new and ready for re-testing.
The working conditions of aircraft engines are very harsh. They must operate in a state of high temperature, high pressure and high-speed rotation. In order to improve the performance, reliability and life of aircraft engines, before actually testing them on fighter jets, they must fully understand the temperature, pressure, corrosion, clearance and stress of the engine under different working conditions, and conduct thousands of tests without any negligence.
Any slight problem will be infinitely magnified in the sky. The training and life of any pilot are extremely precious, and the cost of any fighter plane is in the billions. They cannot afford any mistakes. Otherwise, the worst case scenario of the plane being destroyed and people being killed is a painful loss that they absolutely cannot afford.
When Wu Tong entered the inspiration time, at the Xi'an Aircraft Research Institute thousands of miles away, the specialized test and testing equipment had been checked many times to make sure there were no faults.
Yang Wei stood in the main control room of the test bench, clenched his fists, held his breath, and gave the test order. After years of hard work and a month of hard work, the results were about to appear before his eyes. He was both excited and nervous about how high the new generation of WS-15 could achieve.
If it succeeds, the performance of WS-15 will become a milestone for China Airlines and China Engines. If it fails, the biggest possibility is that they have made mistakes. They have spent a lot of money and resources, but because of their mistakes, they have wasted everything and failed to achieve the desired results. This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the grand momentum accumulated by the entire WS-15 project team.
Time passed by second by second with Yang Wei's expectant heartbeat, and the entire 614th Institute was revolving around this test run like a clockwork. Until his assistant engineer ran up to him with an excited look on his face, Yang Wei immediately stared at him.
"Have you got the test run data? Are there any problems? Tell me the key points!" Yang Wei's fingers were shaking a little.
"Report to Mr. Yang, the test run was a great success!" The assistant could not contain his excitement after seeing the data. "The data performance is very good. The new generation WS-15 has an intermediate thrust of about 22.7 tons and a maximum thrust of 26.8 tons. The thrust-to-weight ratio is 15.1, which is better than our greatest expectations. The data is better than our previous simulation!"
“We increased the turbine inlet temperature to 2200 degrees, and the fan temperature is between 1100-1300 degrees!”
"How are the blades performing?" You know, before, their turbine inlet temperature was only about 1,500 to 1,600 degrees Celsius, but now it has suddenly increased by 600 to 700 degrees Celsius. In aviation, an increase of 100 degrees is as difficult as waiting for a day, let alone a difference of 600 to 700 degrees. The heat resistance and creep resistance limits of too many materials have been far exceeded. Can their new blade material hold up under such extreme temperatures?
This temperature was also the one they considered for a long time and decided to add.
"No problem. The new T5 blade material is very easy to use. All creep and high-temperature deformation are within the low-amplitude controllable range and are far from reaching their maximum values. We tried heating it to 2400 degrees for a while, and the situation is still stable!" The assistant's tone became more and more excited, and his voice almost broke: "We also checked the combustion chamber, turbine, high-pressure air machine... Their performance is as excellent as the previous simulation data, and even better than the simulation!"
The simulation data had already shocked them, they did not expect that the real data would be even better, and the high-altitude experiment was not expected to have any problems.
"Our WS-15 has truly overcome all its weaknesses and has been reborn from the ashes!"
"Good, good, good!" Yang Wei said three good words in a trembling voice. Compared with his assistant, he had deeper feelings for this engine!
WS-15 is like his child. He has touched every bolt, every rivet, and every component with his own hands. He has personally watched every pipeline and every plate, watching him transform piles of design data into various materials, then form components from the materials, and finally assemble them into the WS-15.
Like every parent who has higher expectations for their children, he is no exception. Since the birth of WS-15 in 2006, he has been committed to improving it, making the second and third generations better and better with materials and technology. At this time, he is ready to spend the rest of his life chasing it.
But he didn't expect that in just four years, or just one month, a lucky star would fall from the sky, optimizing parameters, designing and developing the most important blade material, giving WS-15 a new life and reaching unprecedented heights, surpassing the data he had ever dreamed of, and reaching data that he had spent his entire life chasing but never dared to imagine!
Hot tears gathered in his eyes, this was an excited sigh! His child, in his first major exam after a new life, completed the exam with a perfect score.
He spoke deeply into the control room microphone with a choked and trembling voice: "I declare that the WS-15S ground test run was a perfect success!"
Starting today, the new generation of WS-15, renamed WS-15S, is reborn from the ashes like a phoenix, and high temperature will be its dazzling halo.
Suddenly, cheers and excitement rang out from every corner of the institute. Success, real success, their one-month efforts were not in vain! The Chinese fighter finally entered a new chapter and completely overcame the heart disease problem!
Their engine is constantly improving, and the Chinese people are constantly improving! It will shine like a star, illuminating the world, and let the world look up to its divine light!
Yang Wei couldn't calm down for a long time. His assistant went out to collect more detailed data. He returned to the office and immediately logged into the system to express his most sincere gratitude and report the latest good news to Wu Tong, the benefactor who gave WS-15S the ability to rise from the ashes and also their chief consultant.
If possible, he really wanted to thank their Ziweixing in person!
After transmitting the latest data and information, Yang Wei picked up the confidential phone and dialed Xizhou Institute 606.
"Lu Xiao, I'm Yang Wei. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. The WS-15S ground test was a great success with excellent data. Within two weeks, we will complete the final engine delivery!"
