When Fan Wuxian looked at the recent investment fund statement of Southeast Heavy Industry Group. It's still a little distressing, in less than a year, more than 6 billion yuan has been invested in several laboratory projects, which is indeed a bit much.

However, judging from the current projects, Fan Wuzhi feels that it is still more necessary, especially the topic of electromagnetic armor or composite armor, which is more important, and the future use is also relatively wide, and there is no need to worry about not recovering the cost.

In fact, these projects are the largest investment in the early stage of construction, once they are on the right track, the consumption of funds will be relatively small, and then the Southeast Heavy Industry Group will let Fan Wuxian approve the next year's research project budget, which is about more than 300 million, which is relatively much less.

"Of course, if there are new projects, additional investment may be required." The main leadership of the Southeast Heavy Industry Group emphasized this point when reporting to Fan Wuxi.

Fan Wuxian looked at the budget report, then signed, and handed it to them before saying, "Soon our large aircraft project will enter the operation stage, but some supporting things have not yet caught up." If we want to convert a large aircraft into an airborne early warning aircraft, the required platform should also be prepared in advance. ”

Fan's investment group led the large aircraft project, the design plan has long come out, and the digestion and absorption of engine samples and some key technical data from Russia has also been completed, some key materials have also been implemented, at this time the overall design and project refinement work is steadily underway, if there is no accident, the new year can enter the actual operation, at present we are still very confident to complete the work within three years.

Once there is a mature large aircraft model, then it is much easier to use this as a platform to build its own various types of practical large aircraft, at this time, Fan Wuxi's mind is basically occupied by what air early warning aircraft, air tankers, large strategic transport aircraft, etc.

Considering his various ideas, the stealth technology and anti-stealth technology, composite armor technology and electromagnetic armor technology that should now enter the research topic are relatively stimulating for Fan Wuxi, and he hopes that after the big plane is released, he can immediately hook up these platforms and quickly enter the actual combat exercise.

In this way, the experts of the Southeast Heavy Industry Group have been busy operating for a while, and only then can they be regarded as straightening out the requirements of Fan Wuxi, naturally, one of the biggest advantages in China is that there is no need to worry about the lack of manpower, even if there is no shortage of professionals, what is lacking is just an investment and determination.

In the past, it was under the leadership of the government. Because of the excessive investment and some internal reasons, some projects have not been able to stand, just like a large aircraft project, obviously many people have seen the problems, but because of the constraints of various interest groups, the top management has never been able to decide whether to set up the project.

Now Fan Wuxian has integrated this part of the technical force, to achieve the projects in a private capacity, whether to set up the project only depends on his personal opinions, so these things have become very simple, a system of transformation, immediately the most difficult things to solve, because several large companies in fact do not have a board of directors, the major shareholder is only Fan Wuxi, the government participation is only in a technical way to occupy a part of the equity, so what Fan Wuxian said is the direction of the enterprise's efforts.

"Yiyantang actually has some benefits, gossip will always affect efficiency-" After Fan Wuxian increased the budget of Southeast Heavy Industry Group by two billion, he finally sorted out the clue here.

After finishing this matter, Fan Wuxian also found a very important problem, that is, the importance of his material application research institute has become more and more prominent.

People have always regarded new material technology as the basis of high technology, and all major countries have put the development of new material technology in a special strategic position of their countries since the eighties of the last century. The United States spends one billion dollars a year to devote to the research and development of new materials, focusing on metal composite materials, superalloys, high-temperature structural ceramics, highly crystalline polymer materials, etc., and the United States is already in a leading position in the fields of composite materials and polymer materials.

Japan is naturally not willing to be left behind, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry formulated and implemented the industrial basic technology research and development plan, a total of 12 research and development projects are included, of which new materials account for half, focusing on fine ceramics, conductive polymer materials, composite materials, photoreactive materials and electronic information materials, etc., Japan is currently in the world leading position in the fields of fine ceramics, optical fiber materials, electronic information materials, etc.

The European Union has also developed a special new material development plan, and in the Eureka program alone, there are as many as 30 research projects that belong to new materials.

A common focus of research in various countries is high-performance structural materials, that is, those new materials with special properties such as high strength, high toughness, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, such as research and development of high-efficiency ceramic engines.

The use of ceramic engines can increase the operating temperature of the engine from 1,000 degrees to 1,300 degrees, increase the thermal efficiency from 30 percent to 50 percent, reduce weight by 20 percent, and save 30 to 50 percent of dyes.

According to the prediction of experts from the Ford Motor Company of the United States, if all cars in the United States use ceramic engines, then at least 500 million barrels of oil can be saved every year.

In recent years, the United States has invested more than one billion dollars and organized dozens of companies to engage in the research and development of ceramic engines, among which General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Knowlton Company and other large enterprises have successively established new ceramic specialized production centers.

Japan also regards structural ceramics as a new field that can bring great benefits to enterprises after microelectronics, so at any cost with competitors in the United States, there are thousands of companies engaged in the development of new ceramics, and Japan's 213K ceramic engine has formed a scale, and has been equipped with a part of the car.

Germany is also at the forefront of the world in the research and development of ceramic engines, Mercedes-Benz company's new cars, ceramic engines are used, and the effect is good. In Project Eureka. France, Germany and Sweden have been jointly developing ceramic engines since the eighties of the last century, and their working stability can reach 1,600 degrees, which is 600 degrees higher than ordinary engines, and it is conceivable how much its efficiency can be improved.

As for composite materials, they are composed of matrix materials including resins, metals, ceramics, etc. and reinforcing agents, and the mechanical properties and functions of composite materials can be obtained according to actual needs, through appropriate material selection and optimized design.

Composite materials are widely used in aerospace, automobiles, transportation, bridges, civil buildings and national defense construction and many other fields, and the current development of composite materials focuses on metal-based, ceramic-based, and carbon-based composite materials.

In fact, although the domestic response to this is a little slower, but it is not unaware of its importance, the competition in superalloy technology has been very fierce over the years, mainly between the United States and Japan, for example, the Americans in the alloy after adding some ceramic powder, you can increase the wear resistance of this alloy by 35 times, and such as a kind of iron-based memory alloy developed by Japan, which can replace the expensive nitinol-based memory alloy, which can reduce the cost by 90 percent.

As for the so-called superplastic alloys, they are also very remarkable.

At the right temperature, the superplastic alloy can elongate tenfold, dozens or even hundreds of times, neither necking nor breaking, which is originally a hard and brittle alloy, and people take advantage of its superplasticity. You can blow it into a thin shell like a balloon.

For example, titanium alloy is originally a difficult to deform alloy, its maximum elongation at room temperature is only about 30 percent, in the past, when using titanium alloy to process parts with complex shapes, creep processing method is often used, and the deformation process takes more than an hour, and now superplastic molding is used, and the manufacture of alloy parts responsible for any shape is generally not more than eight minutes.

Titanium alloy is used a lot in aircraft, missiles and space shuttles, in order to solve the problem of difficult parts processing, in addition to the method of superplastic molding, you can also take the method of superplastic spreading connection. Specifically, the temperature is controlled below the melting point of the metal for welding, and under sufficient heat and pressure, the atoms and molecules on the contact surface of the two metals are spread out to each other, so as to connect them into a whole.

For titanium alloy, the temperature of these two technologies is very similar, so it can carry out these two processes at the same time, that is, let it complete the task of diffusion connection at the same time in the process of deformation, so that the large components with quite complex shapes can be directly processed at one time, and compared with the previous riveting and welding, the cost can be reduced by 60% and the weight can be reduced by 50%.

In fact, Europe, the United States and Japan have carried out extensive in-depth research on the superplasticity of metal materials, in addition to titanium alloys, for the superplasticity of ultra-high strength steels and superalloys, there are good research results.

The materials research institute of Fan's investment group, mainly from Fan Wuzhi picked up those Ukrainian experts, under their advice to start the research of this project, although the start is relatively late, but this research has also been involved and supported by the military, so the development is very fast, the current ceramic engine technology has made some breakthroughs, it is estimated that it will not be long before it can enter the practical stage.

In the past, the Soviets filled the armor of the T-80 with corundum, although the effect was very good, but it was really a bit too loser, if it was filled with special ceramics of new materials, the cost would be much lower, and the effect would be better.

Today's Fan Wuxian deeply feels that as a big man who looks at the overall situation, there are indeed many things to consider, if his various industries do not work together, probably the income and development of each industry will be greatly discounted.

Probably, the ultimate meaning of the information age is actually here.

There are no pop-ups
