Chapter 173 Setting the Tone
Chu Hengyuan didn't need to explain why they were called here for the research project. They knew it well. They wanted them to pay for it! They didn't have any extra money to fill those big holes.
However, if Wu Tong leads the research and development, and it is the latest air-to-air missile needed by the Air Force, then it is not impossible to negotiate!
Wu Tong is here to work on missiles? Oh, this is possible. Geniuses are geniuses no matter where they are. They have to support the great mathematician who helped the Weilong double its data. If they come up with another Weilong-like surprise, such as the Weilong plus a new air-to-air missile with super performance, their air force/military will really have to straighten their backs and smile out of their sweet dreams!
Compared with the leaders from the Air Force and Artillery who were directly related, some of them did not respond in time due to unequal information.
"Who is Wu Tong?" Why does this name sound so unfamiliar? He doesn't seem to have heard of any top expert with this name in the missile research community. Is he a sudden dark horse?
"PL-15 project has been approved? Isn't PL-14 still under development? Hasn't President Hua been in charge of missile research and development? Why did someone else approve the project?" Are Meteor Dark Horse reliable? Compared to unfamiliar or even strange names, they still trust Hua Yanxing, which has made outstanding achievements.
Who is Wu Tong? When this question came out, many bigwigs in the scientific research community couldn't help but glance at someone. It's really rare that there are still people who don't know Wu Tong. How many geniuses like him can there be in the whole country?
Even they had to admit that the child was truly the glory of China! In front of her, they all had to admit that they were old.
"Why, is Wu Tong famous?" The artillery leader was confused by so many eyes looking at him. Did he violate some taboo? He raised his hand and touched his head, and suddenly remembered a news in the national newspaper, "Is it the math genius Wu Tong? The one who solved the world's difficult problem and brought glory to the country? That kid?"
He remembered that the newspaper said the child was only sixteen years old, right? Now let's add one year, so he is only seventeen years old? A seventeen-year-old child is going to be the leader of the PL-15 national project?
He even invited such a large group of top industry experts to come and review it. Is he still asleep? Or are you, Chu Hengyuan, drifting and dreaming?
He looked at Chu Hengyuan, the conference host sitting in the middle, in disbelief. Is this funny?
"Ahem..." The Air Force leader covered his mouth and coughed lightly to remind him, it's just what you thought.
Don't be so honest and show everyone the fact that your information is out of date. Although this is due to confidentiality, Lao Wu, why don't you learn to see the big picture and see that so many top scientific research experts have not expressed their opinions?
If they were not in the same group, he really didn't want to admit that this guy was in the same group with him.
"PL-14 is still under the charge of Hua Yanxing President Hua, and PL-15 is applied for by President Hua and is under the charge of Wu Tong. Everyone present is trustworthy, so don't mention it outside this room.
Some of you should also know that the first flight test of the J-20 was successfully completed, reaching a speed of Mach 3.22 and a range of 20,000 kilometers... This earth-shaking data is partly due to Wu Tong's optimization of the WS-15 engine and his outstanding contribution to materials. This is a blessing for China, and such a top scholar is on China's side!"
Chu Hengyuan gave a simple answer using the words of the artillery leader.
"Wu Tong's achievements in mathematics are known to the whole world. Everyone now knows about Wu Tong's secret achievements in the fields of engines and materials science. Now, at the request of President Hua, Wu Tong has once again made a sprint towards missile science and has designed and developed a new type of aviation engine and a new type of fuel to match it."
"The predicted data of the new engine is extremely superior. It uses Wu Tong's best flow field design. Wu Tong has launched two new fuels. One is a super-excellent fuel with a predicted specific impulse of 800 and above, and the other is..." Chu Hengyuan glanced at the people present, especially the air and artillery parties, "The same unit performance is predicted to be high-energy explosives 20 times more effective than TNT!"
"20 times TNT?" Artillery leader Wu couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock. To be honest, at his level, he has seen all kinds of storms and waves. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles he faces now, he remains calm.
But at this moment, was he really shocked?
Are you sure you're not kidding? Are you bullying him because he doesn't have as much education as them and doesn't understand their tricks?
Their artillery has always been dealing with ammunition. What does it mean to have a high-energy explosive that is 20 times that of TNT? It is beyond all the high explosives in the world. The new military high explosives that are claimed to be the king of explosives are only twice that of TNT.
Even the best domestic explosive, CL-20, cannot compare with it.
Are you sure you're not just bragging and shouting slogans to defraud funds?
"Then metallic hydrogen has been prepared?" They had heard that the laboratory across the sea had produced some kind of metallic hydrogen, which was estimated to be 20 to 30 times more powerful than ordinary explosives.
"Leader Wu, please let me finish what I want to say. You can take a look at the information in your hands!" He didn't mind Leader Wu's surprise. When he first saw the information, he was not much better than the other party.
Chu Hengyuan simply went all the way. Is it true? Let's look at the detailed information and let the knowledgeable people speak. Even if he is not a professional, he knows that starting with a specific impulse of 800, 20 times TNT is a concept of transcendence! This is the rhythm of epoch-making innovation in the aerospace industry!
The people they notified to come to the meeting were the top experts in the fields involved in the project description. They were asked to judge the feasibility! As long as the feasibility was more than 30% or 40%, they would give it a try.
If successful, China's aerospace industry will reach a new level and truly stand firm among the world's major powers.
Several experts who had already discussed the project for Wu Tong once immediately lowered their heads and looked at the documents in their hands.
"All-nitrogen compounds? All-nitrogen ion salts? All-nitrogen has such explosive potential. Previously, there was laboratory verification that 14 nitrogen molecules have extremely unstable explosive properties. There is also an experiment similar to metallic hydrogen, which can form metallic nitrogen under high temperature and high pressure conditions.
Simulations predict that metallic nitrogen can only be formed under 10,000 times the atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of over 7,000°C, which is more than ten times the energy of TNT per unit.
Metallic nitrogen is indeed synthesized from nitrogen, so it also has the stable properties of nitrogen, but the synthesis and production are too difficult to achieve, not to mention industrial production. Therefore, although metallic nitrogen has higher safety performance and greater power, few countries are currently conducting research and development, and it is not suitable for current scientific and technological conditions! "
The first to be surprised by the appearance of all-nitrogen compounds, those who are sitting here are not ordinary people. They first determined that nitrogen synthesis has this potential. "This is a very hot topic in the field of high-energy materials. Many advanced research institutes in the world are conducting similar research!"
However, no one has come up with any results so far, so all-nitrogen products and gas metallization still only exist in predictions and occasional lucky experiments.
