Chapter 117: Advocate
During the Lantern Festival, he gave Wu Tong some casual advice, and Wu Tong thanked him specially in the news. Now, as the cause and effect goes, he has a vague inspiration because of Wu Tong's mathematical logic. It is really a wonderful chance.
He wanted to understand this logic more deeply, so he needed to communicate face to face with Wu Tong, the builder of the mathematical model, so that he could complete his ideas more quickly and express his gratitude in person.
Therefore, after Lu Xiao explained the temporary arrangements for the work at hand, he immediately arranged his trip.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he landed, he received such a great news. The materials laboratory led by Mr. Cheng from Peking University has produced a groundbreaking new aviation material with a tensile strength of 1417MPa, high temperature resistance of 2000+ degrees Celsius, and even better performance under high temperature. The researcher was not Mr. Cheng, who they first thought of, but the target person he was looking for, Wu Tong.
Naturally, the need for confidentiality protection reported by Peking University was taken over by him and the team that followed him to arrange confidentiality protection, and they rushed to Peking University's Materials Laboratory as soon as possible.
The materials laboratory was quietly taken over by the confidentiality team, and guard protection forces were arranged simultaneously. A dedicated person was already talking to other experimenters and signing confidentiality agreements.
"Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Lu Xiao!" Lu Xiao was the first to extend his hand and salute. "I'm temporarily in charge of the Xizhou 606 Research Institute, and I have the title of honorary professor of the Department of Physics at Peking University!"
"Hello, Professor Lu, thank you for your advice and guidance!" Wu Tong turned around, stretched out his hands, and shook hands briefly with Lu Xiao to express his gratitude. He had always wanted to say thank you directly.
She never thought that it would be under such circumstances that she would meet again this enthusiastic teacher who had given her insightful guidance at that time.
"Now the situation is reversed. I should thank you for the raptor mathematical model you made, which gave me work direction. Thank you also for creating this new material for the country, which has brought significant support to our work!" Lu Xiao's eyes were clear, and data surged in his mind.
He has replaced the new material with a top-notch material that has lower density and lighter weight but superior performance in all aspects. He has led 20 projects and the engines use this new material.
He and Cheng Huanan looked at each other, and their shared excitement was self-evident.
As we all know, the greater the thrust-to-weight ratio of a fighter jet, the better its performance. The thrust-to-weight ratio is the ratio of the thrust of an aircraft to its weight. Under the condition of equal thrust, the thrust will naturally increase as the weight of the aircraft decreases.
What's more, by replacing more superior new materials, the turbine front temperature can be raised higher, the engine performance will be greatly improved, and the thrust will naturally increase accordingly. When the fighter's own weight decreases, the thrust will increase year-on-year, and the extraordinary effect of one plus one equals N will be exerted. The thrust-to-weight ratio is going to break the record!
On the way here, Mr. Yang, the chief designer of the WS-15, who had seen the material data, had already contacted him by phone and excitedly declared that with the addition of this new material, the fighter would be even more powerful and surpassing the F119 would not be a problem at all!
If he is lucky enough to derive a lighter and more resistant fuselage material based on this new material, then he will have the confidence to build the best fighter jet in the world for the country!
“Mr. Lu, you and classmate Wu Tong have such a past relationship. As expected, to use the words of today’s young people, the topics between geniuses are so hardcore!” At the side, Zheng Hongming, the head of the Confidentiality Department who came with them, smiled and clapped softly, feeling secretly happy that the country had such a pair of geniuses.
To do this job, mastering real-time information is a must.
At that time in the library, due to Lu Xiao's identity, Wu Tong's information had actually been shelved through a simple investigation by their confidentiality department at that time. It was confirmed that Wu Tong was specially recruited by Peking University because of his outstanding performance as CMO, and came to the school to study in advance. His admission trajectory was fixed, and there was no intentional or unexpected factor.
The people who met by chance talked about the twin prime conjecture, a topic that broke human imagination. After they confirmed the information at that time, Wu Tong had risen suddenly in the past six months and was dazzling in the mathematics world. This also became the first strange story they learned internally.
Now that I think about it, they were the first to discover the first confrontation between the country's top talents.
"Student Wu Tong, nice to meet you. I am Zheng Hongming, the head of the Confidentiality Department. We will probably get to know each other in the future. I think Student Wu Tong is already outstanding in mathematics, and I am glad that the country has such a top mathematical talent. I have always wanted to meet Student Wu Tong in person. I also thought that if you are lucky enough to participate in a confidentiality project in the future, we will have some dealings!"
Zheng Hongming smiled and introduced himself to Wu Tong. "I didn't expect that Wu Tong would step into materials science. It's amazing. It's a good opportunity for us to meet each other in advance. We will inevitably have to interact with each other in the future!"
Wu Tong's information was something they had all checked and verified. He was a good comrade with a good family background and no problems. A comrade with problems would not have created such outstanding information to support China.
When Lu Xiao suddenly rose to prominence, various R&D projects were completed one after another in a short period of time. Their department was unprepared and almost got caught off guard. Fortunately, Lu Xiao was a child who grew up under the care of their older generation and was deeply influenced by his family's education. His awareness of confidentiality was no less than that of their professional confidentiality personnel, so there was no possibility of accidental leakage.
Now facing a special genius like Wu Tong, they already have the experience to sound the alarm in advance and are ready to provide confidentiality support at any time.
"Hello, Director Zheng!" Wu Tong and Zheng Hongming extended their hands at the same time and shook hands. "Thank you for your help."
"Please sit here!" Cheng Huanan pointed to the meeting area at the side. Because he occasionally needs to discuss issues with international students or hold group meetings on the spot, there is a simple meeting area in his office.
Ruan Chengxu took the lead and quickly gathered the slightly messy documents on the table and moved them to Cheng Huanan's desk temporarily, and then consciously left the office. At the door, four plainclothes guards with sharp eyes were patrolling and supervising in all directions in a serious manner to ensure that no one was spying and to prevent emergencies.
"Let me briefly explain the confidentiality regulations to Wu Tong..." Zheng Hongming did not exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point. Time was urgent, and wasting one more minute would increase the possibility of leaks.
Theoretical achievements in mathematics are international, so this has no impact. Science has no borders, but scientists have countries. Major achievements like this new material are state secrets that cannot be disclosed. With Lu Xiao's example, there will be two more. No one doubts that Wu Tong will only stop at this one material, so they must be fully prepared in advance.
They have learned a lesson that when dealing with genius, common sense can never be used to make conclusions.
