Chapter 315: Another Perfect Material

Cost, no matter where it is, is extremely important. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info no matter how good things are, the cost is too high to afford, what is the use?

In particular, the cost of military products is too high to exceed the country's ability to bear, and the consequences are very serious and will drag the country down.

The emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Justinian, was very good, he restored the frontier of the Roman Empire, and he can be said to be the lord of the revival. However, not long after his death, the Eastern Roman Empire collapsed, why?

Is it because he exhausted the country's financial resources during his lifetime, the country has no money, and he can't even afford to pay the army's salary, can he not disintegrate?

If that's a bit far, let's talk about things we all know.

The Red Empire once made the world tremble, and even the United States could not fight. The Red Empire has done many world-famous things, such as the world's largest helicopter and the world's largest transport aircraft, all of which were made by the Red Empire. But the Red Empire finally collapsed, why?

Because the Red Empire practiced "supporting the people with the army", the country ran out of money and finally had to disintegrate.

As you can see, cost is very important. Especially on warships, if the cost of their materials is too high, the consequences will be serious and will put a heavy burden on the country.

The "Seawolf" class submarines of the United States had a very high technical level at that time, and used a lot of innovative technology, which was much more advanced than the submarines in service in the United States, but the United States finally had to retire them, because they were too expensive.

The Seawolf-class submarine used a large number of expensive HY130 steel, which made it very expensive, almost 1.2 billion US dollars at the time, which was a sky-high price at the price at the time. Even the United States, which claims to be the richest country in the world, cannot afford it, and as soon as the Cold War ends, it will retire immediately.

Ye Chen is very concerned about the cost of new ship materials, if this level passes, no matter how good the performance of this material is, even if it is good enough to defy the sky, there is not much application prospect and cannot afford to raise it.

"One tenth!" Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he was particularly excited.

He has always been worried that the cost of this material is too high, who knows, only one-tenth of the cost of the existing same type of material, which is a big surprise.

The low cost means that the application prospects are particularly broad, even if the entire aircraft carrier is built with this material, there will be no problem.

The weight of an aircraft carrier is tens of thousands of tons, and if the cost of steel is too high, the cost will be unimaginably high. Assuming that the cost of this special material is equivalent to gold, then tens of thousands of tons of gold are needed to build a supercarrier, and no country can afford it.

"That is to say, there is an arms race. Hey! Ye Chen stroked his chin, smiled very badly, smiled ill-willedly, and stars appeared in front of him: "Yankee, you wait and see." ”

The arms race has always made people shudder, which means a large increase in military spending, which will squeeze out people's livelihood resources. In the words of Western economics, it is that the cannon exceeds the butter and will make the life of the common people difficult.

The Red Empire was dragged down by the arms race of the United States, and you don't need to think about how terrible the arms race is.

The cost of this kind of ship material verified by Ye Chen is only one-tenth of the existing materials, that is to say, if we build ten aircraft carriers, the cost of steel is about the same as that of an aircraft carrier in the United States, which is too much to engage in an arms race.

Think about it, if our country builds a large number of aircraft carriers and builds our huge fleet, the United States will definitely not be able to sit still. If the United States wants to maintain its global hegemony, it has to build a large number of warships and build more aircraft carrier battle groups, which will consume more than 10 times that of us, which will put a heavy burden on the United States, and the results can be imagined.

Back then, how the United States dragged down the Red Empire with an arms race, it will be dragged down by our country.

Thinking about this bright future, Ye Chen's eyes were full of wonderful little stars.

"Am I too bad?" Ye Chen touched his chin and asked himself, hehe laughed evilly, and said proudly: "What is there to be polite to the United States?" The worse the better! ”

As soon as he finished the book, Ye Chen thought of the arms race, to drag down the United States, this is not called bad, it is very bad!

The first time it was verified, it was just unsatisfactory. It's no wonder that Ye Chen has no experience in this area, and it is already very good to have this kind of result.

Next, Ye Chen continued to verify, and as time went by, Ye Chen became more and more proficient, and the performance of the materials he made became better and better. The crystalline phase is better, the yield strength finally exceeds 10,000 megapascals, and the welding performance is very good, as long as a welder with several years of welding experience can weld.

A series of tests have shown that this is a very good material. However, there is one test that has not been completed, and that is the corrosion resistance test.

Warships must be immersed in seawater, which is very corrosive, and if the materials are not corrosion-resistant, the consequences will be serious.

Although the anti-corrosion test was not completed, Ye Chen could make a preliminary calculation.

Ye Chen analyzed the data and came up with a surprising result.

"In this way, the corrosion resistance of this material is very good, and it can be soaked in seawater for 200 years without problems." Ye Chen's face was full of joy.

Corrosion resistance is very important for ship materials, even if other properties are excellent, this one can't pass, it's useless. Who told ships to be immersed in sea water for a long time?

Ye Chen has always been worried about corrosion resistance, but now that he has the preliminary results, he will be fine after two hundred years of soaking, which fully meets the requirements of warships.

Generally speaking, a warship will be decommissioned after a few decades of service, and it will be in service for two hundred years.

For example, the supercarrier of the United States has a service life of 50 years.

In other words, as long as the corrosion resistance of this material can reach 50 years, it is enough, and 200 years has greatly exceeded expectations.

This is still a preliminary result, and it should be longer by the time all the tests are completed.

"It's the perfect material again." Anti-corrosion is the last performance, Ye Chen has been worried, now don't worry, completely put your mind at ease, and make a final summary.

Superalloy material is a perfect material, and ship material is a perfect material, and these two perfect materials will have an extremely important impact on our country.

"If this is reported, it will definitely cause a sensation." Ye Chen smiled.

What Ye Chen made, was there anything that didn't cause a sensation when it was reported? Photonic chips, intelligent driving systems, virtual concert systems, superalloy materials, composite materials, all of which caused huge shocks.

Our country is building a blue-water navy, and it is going to go to the deep blue, at this juncture, Ye Chen has made such a perfect ship material, which is great news, if it is reported, it will become a strange thing if the high-level does not shake.

Perhaps, like last time, a group of generals rushed to Fengzhou overnight.

"If this material is submitted, it will definitely redesign our country's aircraft carrier. By then, the ship technology should be able to be redeemed, and I can participate in it. A long list of wonderful little stars appeared in Ye Chen's eyes, and he thought proudly: "I have participated in the design and development of our country's new aviation engine and new gas turbine and aerospace fighter, and then I have participated in the design of aircraft carriers, that is, the navy and air force have participated." Hehe, there aren't many scientists like me. ”

Aviation engine gas turbine aerospace aircraft, any one of them is enough for a person to do it for a lifetime, and there are three people involved across the bank, and there is no second such person except Ye Chen.

Now, Ye Chen wants to participate in the design and development of aircraft carriers, his heart is not ordinary male, but very male.

"There is one last thing left, and that is to compile the production process." Ye Chen was ready to do the final sweeping work.

If you want to produce, you must take out the production process, otherwise everything is not to be discussed.

Ye Chen took out the production process, and he could let the military produce equipment and prepare to build a factory.

At this moment, the phone rang, Ye Chen saw that it was Xiao Lingyue calling, and he was busy answering the channel: "CEO, what's the matter?" ”

"Ye Dong, please, you pay attention, okay?" Xiao Lingyue's voice full of resentment came.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "What's the point?" Make it clear. ”

"Ye Dong, didn't you say that you wanted to prepare for Elder Zhuang's birthday? It's good that you've become a mouthpiece, and you've been in the lab for the past few days. Xiao Lingyue said angrily.

"Uh...... Am I not busy? Ye Chen remembered, he took the matter of preparing for Zhuang Lao's birthday on himself, but he was hiding in the laboratory for the past few days, he was really embarrassed, and his old face turned red.

"I knew you were going to make excuses." Xiao Lingyue said angrily, "Okay, you won, who called you the boss?" You come to the old office of Zhuang and introduce you to a few people. ”

"Who?" Ye Chen didn't understand.

Xiao Lingyue made a special call and said that she wanted to introduce someone to him, and this was the first time. As the CEO of the company, she is a world-class demon with a high vision, and if she wants to call her specifically to mention this, the person who came must be unusual, Ye Chen is very curious.

"You'll know when you come." Xiao Lingyue didn't explain to Ye Chen, and hung up the phone after speaking.

Ye Chen had to dispel the matter of compiling the production process, and rushed to Zhuang Lao's office, only to see that there were seven strangers in Zhuang Lao's office, five men and two women. Of the five men, two of them had white temples, no less than fifty years old, and looked very elegant. The other three men were all young people in their teens and twenties, not much younger than Ye Chen.

Both women are in their forties and fifties, with good temperaments, and at a glance you can tell that they are well-educated people with good cultivation.

The three young people surrounded Zhuang Lao, one by one, and they were attentive and talking.

Zhuang Lao smiled, a look of relief.

Xiao Lingyue accompanied the four adults to talk, with a smile on her face, very kind, as if this was her relative.

Ye Chen was a little puzzled, he had seen Xiao Lingyue's family, but he hadn't seen these four people, could it be that she couldn't beat her relatives with eight poles?

"Ye Dong is good." When the four adults saw Ye Chen, they hurriedly stood up, with a smile on their faces, and greeted Ye Chen in unison.

"Brother Ye, you're here." When the three young people saw Ye Chen, they were like fans seeing idols, their faces were full of surprise, and they hula and surrounded them.

"Brother Ye, sign my name, okay?" The three young men took the autograph book and handed it to Ye Chen, looking at Ye Chen with a nervous face, as if they were afraid that Ye Chen would not agree.

Ye Chen was speechless.

Who are you? Do I know you? Why are you so self-cooked? As soon as they meet, they are called big brother.
