None of the three squadrons and 240 Hong Kong youths chose to quit.

Yang Weiping is of course very satisfied with this. Next, he personally accompanied everyone to select according to the current training subjects of Panshi Security Company, and selected the first 120 to form the first rotation training team to go to the base of the Somalia Peninsula in Africa.

was not selected, Yang Weiping also gave them cordial comfort and affirmation in public, and encouraged everyone to strengthen their training and strive to catch up with the second round.

Afterwards, Yang Weiping gave a day off to all the participants of the first round of training team, and gave each of them a big red envelope of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, so that everyone could go home happily to reunite with their families.

That night, Yang Weiping summoned 12 veterans including Tu Zhiqiang and Zhang Shufang for a secret meeting.

At the meeting, Yang Weiping solemnly demanded that Tu Zhiqiang and others be good assistants to the original instructors of the base and conscientiously study the training system and tactical characteristics of the special forces in the world today. Because, there, there is a British Army 22nd Special Service Aviation Squadron L detachment stationed there, they are one of the elite combat units of the British special forces.

In the agreement on the transfer of bases on the Somalia Peninsula, letting the L detachment of the 22nd Special Service Aviation Squadron stay as an instructor is one of the immutable conditions that Yang Weiping wants to strive for and adhere to.

I don't know what Williams had at that time, he didn't ask the Ministry of Defense for instructions at all, and directly agreed to Yang Weiping's condition.

It is important to know that the major military powers in the world today list the establishment, equipment, and training subjects of their respective special forces as S-level military secrets. The Chinese People's Liberation Army does not yet have the concept of special forces.

Tu Zhiqiang, Zhang Shufang and other veterans of the Volunteer Army all understood that the boss was doing this to make preliminary preparations for the formation of special forces in the Chinese army in the future. Therefore, they all solemnly swore to resolutely carry forward the glorious revolutionary tradition of not fearing hardship and death, and promised to learn the training methods of the British special forces.

It was already the beginning of 1977, and time was running out before the outbreak of China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.

Yang Weiping, who is familiar with the modern military history of China, has carefully read the summaries of later generations on the war against Vietnam. At that time, due to the influence of the 10-year turmoil, the Chinese military seriously lagged behind the Western military powers in terms of tactical thinking, weaponry, and military concepts, resulting in great losses in battle and extremely heavy sacrifices.

Yang Weiping had never entered a military academy, so he knew a little about military theory at best. However, he knew that the British Army Special Forces were one of the earliest special forces in the world today. If we can steal the training methods and tactical ideas of the British special forces, and then secretly bring them back to China and hand them over to Zhou Yuanchao so that he can hand them over to the top level of the Huaxia Military Commission, this will certainly be beneficial and harmless to reduce the casualties of our officers and men in the Vietnam War in the future and achieve greater results.

It was based on this idea that Yang Weiping finally decided to cooperate with the British military. In this way, they can not only learn the techniques and tactics of the British Army special forces, but also carry out the development and manufacture of weapons in a justifiable manner.

In two years, Yang Weiping was absolutely sure that he would develop for the Chinese army a new gun family, self-propelled artillery, infantry fighting vehicles, and main battle tanks that were far stronger than the Chinese army's current standard weapons and equipment.

Military theory scolded Wei Ping for not understanding much, but weapon manufacturing is definitely one of his strengths.

On January 15, 1977, Yang Weiping, Qiu Fang, and Xiang Yang sent the seeds of 132 Panshi Security Company, including Tu Zhiqiang and Zhang Shufang, to a supply transport ship belonging to the British Royal Navy, which set off from the Tamar Naval Base in Hong Kong and sailed to the distant African continent.

The British government did not publicize the transfer of the base on the Somalia Peninsula to the outside world, but chose to keep it strictly secret and issued gag orders to all the people involved. …,

Therefore, the United States, the Soviet Union, France, Italy, Germany and other countries did not know that the road in Hong Kong Kwun Tong Industrial Zone, the birth of a new type of second-generation aluminum-lithium alloy that can influence and change the development of aerospace technology in the world today.

In this regard, Yang Weiping and the British side have obviously reached a tacit understanding, and Yang Weiping is of course happy to make a fortune in silence, and I believe that with the British government in Hong Kong to help him shelter from the wind and rain, the next career will develop more smoothly.

After sending away the first rotation training team of Panshi Security Company to go to the base of the Somalia Peninsula to play the front station, Yang Weiping's work returned to his previous busyness.

Donald and his four doctoral assistants, since they had a more in-depth exchange with Yang Weiping, are reluctant to return to China, but stay in the Tiangong New Materials Research Institute to have an in-depth discussion with Yang Weiping on the industrial mass production process of Y2012 aluminum-lithium alloy.

Yang Weiping was very "generous" to take out the method of "preparing aluminum-lithium alloy by any electrolysis method" that had been verified in the laboratory in later generations, claiming that it was in this way that Y2012 aluminum-lithium alloy was produced.

There are two main types of preparation methods for aluminum-lithium alloys: ingot metallurgy and powder metallurgy.

Ingot metallurgy (IM) is the main production method for aluminum-lithium alloys. A-lcoa in the United States, Alcan in the United Kingdom, Pechiney in France, and Russia all use the IM method to produce aluminum-lithium alloys.

The advantage of the IM method is that it is less costly and can produce large size ingots. Due to the reactive chemical properties of lithium, a protective atmosphere must be added when smelting aluminum-lithium alloys by this method. Generally, most of the smelting furnaces of aluminum-lithium alloys are closed, and under the protection of inert gas, rapid induction heating and smelting are conducive to the improvement of the quality of ingots. However, the mass fraction of aluminum-lithium alloy prepared by this method does not exceed 3%, which is difficult to meet the requirements of light alloy.

Powder metallurgy is a production technology that can prepare complex shapes and near-net shape products, and it is also an important method for the production of aluminum-lithium alloys. The basic process is powder making→ powder forming→ powder sintering. In order to improve the performance of materials, scientists from various countries have developed a variety of different production processes (such as high-temperature sintering, repressurization and re-firing, powder forging, hot isostatic pressing, jet deposition, quenching rapid solidification powdering, etc.). Among them, the rapid solidification technology increases the lithium content in the aluminum-lithium alloy and greatly reduces the density of the alloy.

High-temperature resistant and rapid solidification of aluminum-lithium alloys contains insoluble transition group elements and rare earth elements, which can form a stable diffuse phase, which can effectively hinder plane slip and help the alloy to strengthen and toughen.

Due to the high cooling rate (up to 103°C/s), the solubility of alloying elements is greatly improved, the microstructure is uniform and fine, and the segregation is reduced, thereby improving the plasticity of the alloy and improving the strength of the alloy. However, this process has problems such as long process, easy oxidation of powder, small ingot size and high cost.

In view of the shortcomings of traditional alloy preparation methods, researchers have begun to explore some other methods for the preparation of aluminum-lithium alloys. Among them, the more representative is the Ren electrolysis method.

The preparation of aluminum-lithium alloys by electrolysis was originally developed and researched by Shibfu Institute of Technology in Japan. It is to put the LiC-lKCl electrolyte in a processed ceramic fiber container as the cathode, and molten Al as the anode for electrolysis. In the preparation process, the alloy has been protected, which greatly reduces the requirements for the environmental atmosphere, simplifies the production equipment, and can prepare alloys with H content and low Na content at a low cost.

At present, the electrolysis method is only studied in the laboratory, and some problems (such as reducing potassium content, increasing lithium content, etc.) need to be further solved.

Although the preparation of aluminum-lithium alloy by Ren electrolysis seems to be very advanced, only before Yang Weiping's rebirth, this process is still in the experimental stage, and no country can use this method to achieve large-scale industrial mass production.

When the little devil invented this method, it really caused a sensation and applied for a global patent. As a result, this method ended up being one of the most expensive research results in the lab. …,

Now Yang Weiping is using this achievement to fool Donald, and the effect is definitely bearable!

Donald is known as the most famous metallurgical expert in the United Kingdom, and he is also a considerable authority in ingot metallurgy and powder metallurgy. However, Yang Weiping's proposal to prepare aluminum-lithium alloys by electrolysis seems to have suddenly opened the door to a new field of scientific research for him.

Yang Weiping's purpose in doing this is obviously to make the British keep burning money in researching the process of preparing aluminum-lithium alloys by electrolysis, so as to delay the process of industrial mass production of the second-generation aluminum-lithium alloys by John Bull.

In this way, he can strengthen his own weight in the eyes of the British, secondly, he can pit John Bull a little, and thirdly, he can also make a little devil again, so that this evil neighbor will not show off everywhere in the world in the future!

As for the future after the Soviets used powder metallurgy to prepare 1420 alloy on a large scale, the British switched to powder metallurgy or ingot metallurgy to produce Y2012 alloy, Yang Weiping was too lazy to bother.

Who made the John Bulls so stingy, if they could generously give away all three bases in Africa for free, maybe he wouldn't be so stingy with them, anyway, John Bull has British pounds, and it doesn't matter if they burn a little more.

Seeing Donald excitedly taking his four doctoral assistants to work on electrolysis in the laboratory, Yang Weiping couldn't help but sneer to himself.

While Donald happily helped the British government burn money, Yang Weiping took the time to write four academic papers, "On the Application Trend and Development of Advanced Materials in Military Aircraft Engines", "Development and Application of High-strength Titanium Alloys", "On the Optimal Design of Structural Parameters of Precision Machine Tool Beds", and "Development Prospects of Small Personal Computers", which Donald helped to submit to the journal "Nature" for publication.

Originally, the reason why he suggested Yang Weiping to write a paper was to cover up the polite words that his four students plagiarized and recorded other people's academic experiences in front of him that day.

In a few days, John Yang, a Chinese genius not much older than his grandson, actually came up with four papers at one time, involving four different disciplines and fields of materials science, dynamics, mechanics, and computers.
