In March last year, several leading figures in the scientific and technological circles proposed to the central authorities that they should formulate China's own major scientific and technological development plans so that they would not be eliminated in the fierce international competition in the future.

As soon as this proposal was put forward, it was highly valued by the central government, and instructions were quickly made, because it was put forward in March 1986, so this high-tech development plan was named the "863 Plan".

So far, China's "863 Project", which is the benchmark of the "Star Wars Program" of the United States and the "Eureka Program" of Europe, was officially born.

As a Tengfei Group that has been tracking the latest technology in the aerospace field, it has naturally become the focus of the "863 Plan", especially in the field of new materials.

The first batch of research funds has been allocated not long ago, a full 150 million yuan, Zhuang Jianye was shocked, so many years, asking for funds from above is like squeezing toothpaste, it is all pressed out little by little, how can there be such a happy time? Moreover, it is still hundreds of millions! Zhuang Jianye was surprised and finally realized that he seemed to be a little too Buddhist, and he actually didn't pay attention to it.

So Zhuang Jianye acted, when Luan Heping and Ning Xiaodong were well known, and Li Szt was digging the foot of the wall, he went to the capital to find the chief and the leader, and hoped that all the research projects of Tengfei Group would be included in the "863 Plan".

The leaders at the higher levels are not stupid, the "863 Project" is to develop cutting-edge technology, and if any R&D project is accepted, it will become nothing.

Therefore, after reviewing the materials submitted by Zhuang Jianye, the expert group of the "863 Plan" only gave Zhuang Jianye three specific general directions, the first is the special project of aero engines, the second is the modern assembly technology of aviation equipment, and the last is precision welding technology.

Each special project is required to propose a specific research and development direction in order to make specific budget allocations.

Zhuang Jianye still wants to fight for it, but unfortunately his arms can't twist his thighs, so he can only use his brains in these three directions, the first two are okay, and after careful study, the focus of the aero engine project is on the 6 megawatt core machine, that is, the HX-11-6 core machine.

Because the turbofan, turboshaft and gas turbine derived from this can meet the power needs of most light fighters, medium and long-range regional airliners, high-end business jets, light and medium helicopters, as well as gas power units of combat ships below 3,000 tons and gas turbine power generation units of small power stations.

At that time, Tengfei Group will not only spin around on UAVs and light small aircraft, but can really develop towards aircraft with a take-off weight of more than 20 tons, and if it goes well, the use of single-engine light fighters or double-engine medium fighters is not impossible to touch.

As for the second one, there is no need to think about it, only the pulsating production line, although Tengfei Group has made great progress in this regard, but some supporting equipment has not been deeply optimized, and many places are not satisfactory in terms of coordination.

In addition, Tengfei Group is also preparing to gradually deepen the pulsating production line of the aircraft, and explore the pulsating production and assembly scheme of aero engines and even long-range launch vehicles or missiles, so the pulsating production line of the aircraft is not to turn the sword into a plow, but the first step of the long march on this path.

There is nothing to say about these two directions, the only uncertainty is the last one, precision welding machine technology, in addition to personnel factors, mainly differences in the technical path.

Many people think that since Europe and the United States have begun to apply the electron beam welding process on a large scale, there is nothing to think about, just follow up directly.

However, there are a few people who believe that although the electron beam welding process is advanced, the technical difficulty and poor adaptability do not represent the future development direction of precision welding, and they believe that they should be studied in depth to find a new direction that is more in line with the future development.

These two factions are not only divided within the expert group of the "863 Project", but also within the Tengfei Group.

However, all of this has come to an end with the breakthrough of carbon dioxide lasers at the North China Institute of Optics.

Because of this cutting-edge project led by Hu Rongyi, in the initial experiment, the weld of the component was reduced to 25 μm, that is, 25 microns.

What is the concept of 25 microns, the diameter of a human hair is generally 0.05 to 0.08 mm, and 25 microns is equivalent to 0.025 mm, in other words, the width of the weld that Hu Rongyi and his experiment is smaller than a hair.

Not to mention with the naked eye, even the magnifying glass can not find the weld on it.

If it stops there, the key is that the welding integrity rate implemented by the CO2 laser reaches 100%, that is to say, the parts do not need special treatment in the early stage, and there is no heat treatment after welding, and most importantly, there is no need for a vacuum environment, which can be operated under normal conditions, and only in special cases some inert gas protection is required.

This greatly expands the range of applications and because of this, it can be used as an alternative to the electron beam welding process and become a leader in the next generation of precision welding technology.

Zhuang Jianye is the person who doesn't want to chase other people's buttocks, the suffocation feeling of desperately chasing and always falling behind is too torturous, and instead of running to the black, Zhuang Jianye prefers to run the serpentine bend of the autumn famous mountain, and the kind of cold overtaking is the thrill of making crazy money.

So at the beginning, he stood on the side of the laser welding process, but there was no credible test data at hand to support it, coupled with the instability of the talent team caused by Liszt's various digging of the wall, so Zhuang Jianye could only want to press the mind of forcibly promoting.

Now, Peng Chuan not only sent the much-needed experimental report, but also stood firmly on the side of Tengfei Group, so Zhuang Jianye can declare it brightly, you must know that this is a large-scale R&D project close to 100 million yuan per year, and he doesn't want to slip away from his hands like this.

As for the recent trend of going abroad that has swept the aviation industry, since it is going to rain and my mother is going to get married, even the higher-level ministries and commissions can't control things, Zhuang Jianye also didn't have the mind to overstep the bounds, but Li Szt, who was more cheerful during this time, still had to find a way to knock and knock.

Just four EJ9 electron beam welding machines are done?

Have you applied for the European and American airworthiness certificates of the Plateau Eagle series? Have you applied for the European and American airworthiness certificates of twin-engine regional airliners derived from the advanced light transport platform?

What? How could Liszt be obedient?

It's very simple, because Zhuang Jianye has enough black material, plus during this period of time, the European actor company was gradually emptied, and handed over to Liszt through the operation, and another cauldron was pressed, Liszt obediently did things, and the big guys were happy to make their own money.

So Liszt, who had not been in the limelight for a few days, sadly became Zhuang Jianye's horse boy, lobbied around with the products of Tengfei Group, and prepared to fill this big hole.

......

Just when Zhuang Jianye was busy with the internal affairs of the Tengfei Group, at an airport on the southeast coast, Zheng Quanli looked at the head of the airborne troops in front of him with a look of embarrassment: "This is not good!"

"What's wrong, it's not a real dead person, you just let it go, if you don't fight well, next year's funding will be reduced by more than half, anyway, I've already said it so clearly, how to make it your own." ”

After saying that, the head of the airborne troops put his hands behind his back as if nothing had happened, and just walked away, Zheng Quanli sighed, and immediately glanced at the military flag of the sixth special operations battalion of the Royal Thai Army not far away, and his expression became a little strange, how should this battle be fought?
