After coming out of CMI, Albert's mood was not at all cute, he had been thinking about the fact that Belgium's heavy industry was not bad, and that the first and second industrial revolutions were at the most advanced level. However, there is a big restriction and restriction, that is, the land area is too small, the industrial foundation is just that, the advantage is that it is relatively easy to complete the industrial revolution, and the disadvantage is that it is still a little difficult to do everything, and the shortcomings always exist, otherwise why is there no Belgium among the countries that can develop heavy weapons later.

Although the Belgian Graham first invented the electric motor in the second industrial revolution, there was almost no leading advantage in the later military engine. On the contrary, Germany, Britain, the United States and other countries have come from behind, far ahead. "The only thing the Eye of Heaven that resides in Albert's mind now likes to do is fight its host.

Albert replied angrily, "There are so many places that I can't open, and I can't do everything." The most important problem to be solved now is the core technology of GE engines, as well as the need for large forging presses in Belgium, and the wind tunnel group used to test the aircraft, without which Belgium will never be able to make purely domestic things. ”

"Actually, I still think there is something wrong with your thinking, you know that Belgium is a little sparrow with all the internal organs, but it can't be smaller, and you want him to forcibly raise the level of the entire industry to a higher level in order to design a heavy weapon, which is impossible. Only your untapped 3D printing space can do this. Tianyan put forward his own opinion.

Albert stopped, his eyes a little complicated, he crouched down and picked up a branch, drew a few patterns on the ground, and asked, "I always thought that three-dimensional space could also print things like airplane shells, and it seems that it has more than that?" Can it also print engines? ”

"Of course not." "As long as there is modeling data, three-dimensional space can make anything that needs to be fixed and assembled in modules, such as if you want to build an airplane, the aviation aluminum used cannot exist in the form of blocks, but in the form of powder." ”

With a "click", the branch in Albert's hand was broken by him, and the words of Tianyan made Albert forget that he could only communicate with this alien technology in his mind, and he shouted directly, "It's too nonsense, how much labor does it cost to make the whole piece of aluminum-lithium alloy into powder and then model it?" ”

In Albert's last life, a high school classmate went to study civil aviation, and he also learned from that guy what the so-called aluminum-lithium alloy is, lithium is the lightest element in the world. Lithium metal is added to the metal aluminum as an alloying element to form an aluminum-lithium alloy. The addition of lithium metal can reduce the specific gravity of the alloy and increase the stiffness, while still maintaining high strength, good corrosion and fatigue resistance, and suitable ductility.

The people around him stared at Albert who was suddenly screaming like he was going crazy with a look of looking at the monster, but he pretended to be very calm and threw away the branches, stood up and swaggered away, but cursed more than a hundred words in his heart.

Albert got into the car parked on the side of the road and said to the driver, "Go to Solvay's defense company." ”

After Albert completely calmed down, Tianyan replied to him unhurriedly, "You young people just don't have any patience now, you are facing the super technology of the third earth civilization creatures, and it is not strange for people to beat you a few streets with black technology." Large-scale forging is an obsolete thing for them, and they use 3D technology for fast modular printing, which can save at least half of your manufacturing time. ”

Albert said helplessly, "According to you, blame me for not being able to open the plug-in." ”

The president of Solvay in 1948 was Pilar Kolamiti, of course, except for the first founder Ernest Solvay, the rest of the presidents have not been able to leave their names from the imprint of history, but through the silent efforts of several generations, the company has become a behemoth that cannot be underestimated in the whole of Europe.

Although Albert only came here to take a look on a whim, and did not pass the appointment, he still enjoyed the highest standard of treatment, not the general manager of the Solvay defense branch, but the personal reception of the president of the Solvay Group.

Pilar Kolamiti leads Albert through the hustle and bustle of the aircraft manufacturing department, where Albert sees the C130 transport aircraft in general, with its bulging body and huge steel wings. Compared to the inaction of the ghosts, Albert was much more satisfied with the inaction of the manufactory.

"The upper wing, the four engines, and the large cargo door at the tail are all carried out in an orderly manner according to the design of His Highness. But there's one thing I'm curious about. Pilar Kolamiti, who is 15 years older than Albert, shouted at the top of his voice.

"What's the problem?" Albert asked, having to shout twice because the machinery was so loud.

"Did Your Highness major in aircraft design before? At that time, I handed over the design to the employees in the technical department, and they were all boiling, saying that this design was definitely not something that a layman could make up casually. They were all betting that it wasn't designed by His Highness Albert himself. ”

"Tell them that this is indeed my design, and that my luck has always been good, and that they must not bet on me, it's true." Albert thought of the engineers at FN again, and never gave him a good look after losing the bet. Moreover, the design of the C130 transport aircraft was the standard design of the post-war medium transport aircraft. Because the biggest feature of its design is that it is thoroughly designed to meet the practical requirements of tactical airlift, it is very suitable for performing various airlift missions.

After the visit, Albert and Pilar Kolamiti came to his office for coffee and chat, but Albert asked straight to the point, "President Pilar, please tell me the truth, are you sure you can achieve a breakthrough in the engine area?" ”

"In the area of turboprop engines, we have not made any significant progress, and many technical difficulties have not yet been overcome. Sorry Your Highness Albert, that's the truth. The performance advantage of jet aero engine is based on the exquisite continuous rotor structure, and our development difficulties are basically centered around this core, so the so-called T56-A-15 engine you gave us is still a little difficult to fully manufacture. President Pilar spread his hands and said helplessly.

President Pilar's words also made Albert's mind mixed, and the constantly improving tactical and technical indicators of modern aircraft have put forward very high requirements for aero engines. High temperature, high pressure, high speed, high reliability, durability and maintainability are the basic characteristics. Driven by these high and contradictory requirements, the aero engine has become the most complex and sophisticated industrial product in human history after a long period of development.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the propeller theory was used to design the compressor blades, the isolated blade shape theory was adopted in the twenties, the blade grid design theory was adopted in the mid-thirties, the two-dimensional design technology was used in the fifties, the quasi-three-dimensional design system was established in the seventies, and the three-dimensional viscous flow field analysis and design system was used in the aviation industry to design the compressor in the nineties. It can be said that as long as you don't work hard, you will be thrown off more than a dozen streets.

The core technology system composed of aerothermodynamics, materials science, structural mechanics and structural design technology and process technology with engine technology as the core has become an important pillar of the strategic development of an aviation power.

Faced with so many technical problems, Albert just wanted to be alone. As someone who has a golden finger that travels through history, he should be able to find a solution in history, uh...... Albert suddenly thought of one thing, that is, in the development of aviation technology, the United States, the Soviet Union, and France acquired those technologies by buying patents or with the help of various means such as materials and personnel obtained from Germany in order to develop their own first-generation turbojet engines. Maybe Belgium could do the same?
