Because his WS-15, equipped with the wings of dreams and revitalized, 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 increased to more than 14, and the turbine inlet temperature can directly exceed 2,000.
Before this, his best expectation for the step-by-step improvements to the second and third generation aircraft was just to exceed the 1800° threshold. Now, he can confidently and boldly turn this expectation into reality, easily surpass it, and even reach higher temperature peaks.
Theoretically, for every 100-degree increase in turbine front temperature, the engine thrust-to-weight ratio can be increased by 10%. 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 was ready, only the east wind was missing. He looked forward to the dazzling data that would astonish everyone when the WS-15 was released. Without hesitation, Yang Wei left the office and went to the front line to continue monitoring the progress. He seemed to have been refueled and full of energy.
After a pleasant communication with Chief Engineer Yang and clear explanation of the key points, Wu Tong, under the guidance of Cheng Huanan, began to fill out the experimental project completion schedule. This is the responsibility of the project leader. As a national project, there is a strict supervision process for project funds and experimental progress, and there must be targeted reports to be uploaded.
Even though they were very careful with their calculations, there was no unnecessary waste of T5 alloy, and even the initial experiments were successful at once.
Experimental R&D costs still reached around 40 million RMB, primarily in materials and equipment. Repeated preparation according to standard blade specifications consumed a considerable amount of material.
In her daily math studies, she was used to only spending 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 for 100,000 yuan under the supervision of Teacher Li Yishen, and she was worried about how to spend it.
Now, without realizing it, the price has increased by hundreds of times. Before he knew it, 40 million yuan of funds were gone. The cost of research and development of materials really made Wu Tong stunned.
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. This is in preparation for the industrial production of T5, and 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, even if they invested all the funds for this project, they might not be able to hear any sound.
When Wu Tong leads more projects, you will realize 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 preparation process, and solving possible problems, Wu Tong can finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a break.
"As for materials, I'll organize my recent understanding of materials and continue studying the book list you've planned. In mathematics, I want to make a turbulence model..." With the recent high-density material research and development, she has a deeper understanding of the properties of various materials, molecular and atomic structures... After personally getting started, 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.
"It's military training time now. I should go back and participate in the training, right?"
"No need, Wu Tong, if you're truly interested in the military training programs, I can help you make the connections and arrange for you to go directly to the real base to experience the real equipment!" Who knows, if Wu Tong gets inspired, it might be possible to create a real design. The school's targeted training programs wouldn't 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 let's not bother!" Wu Tong shook her head. If it were the younger brother, he'd be incredibly interested in this field, and he'd probably be training daily. As for her, she preferred to simply swim in the ocean of knowledge and explore its endless mysteries. "Teacher, let me use the lab equipment to familiarize myself with the structures of the currently available 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, her personal energy is ultimately limited. A single flower does not make a spring. A true prosperous age is one in which a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.
"Go ahead, use them! If you need any materials the lab doesn't have, just ask your junior brother to place an order; he's familiar with the process!" Cheng said cheerfully. Students actively and spontaneously pursue their research without needing any push, and as a teacher, I wholeheartedly support this. Materials—continuous experimentation—are a perpetual topic.
He, too, was currently studying and digesting the ideas behind the two new materials Wu Tong had developed. Each of these new materials boasted exceptionally superior data, and how could anyone working in the field not be thrilled? However, the mathematical models involved, and the mathematical knowledge required to translate them, were truly a headache, and he had no choice but to continue, rubbing his head.
The student’s math foundation is very strong, and a lot of his thinking about the materials comes from mathematics. This is Wu Tong’s characteristic and 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 no longer planned to interfere too much in Wu Tong's learning and development. As long as such a gifted child does not take a detour, there is no need to interfere too much. Just as it is difficult for them to peek into higher dimensions from lower dimensions, ordinary people should not interfere too much in the research thinking of geniuses.
With her teacher's permission, Wu Tong began her research. She didn't start with an unfamiliar area, but rather titanium, which she had been most involved in researching.
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 the microstructure, and mastered it thoroughly.
Then came the characteristics 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 each detailed atomic structure and unit cell structure diagram appeared on Wu Tong's manuscript drawing.
T4 alloy molecular structure, T5 blade material molecular structure...
