"Let's go over now." Ding Zhiyi and the other researchers walked out of the production room with Chen Shen and walked to the room where the samples were stored.

"Now the first batch of samples is basically for performance testing, so we only keep three meters of the original sample."

Chen Shen listened to Ding Zhiyi's words, put on a dustproof suit covering his whole body, and walked into the storage room.

The temperature in the room was not high, and Chen Shen glanced at it at a constant temperature of eighteen degrees.

The nanowire tube is not sensitive to temperature, after all, it is to be used on the engine, and maintaining this temperature is just a habit in the production workshop.

The researcher took out a small glass-covered plate and brought it to several people.

Chen Shen looked inside through the glass cover, but saw nothing......

But this is normal, Chen Shen just looked at Ding Zhiyi, and he handed over a flashlight.

Chen Shen turned on the flashlight and shone it on the center of the plate, where a circle was drawn.

Under the special light, I saw a continuous surrounding light faintly revealing in the circle range, as if a glowing rope was coiled into a circle.

These conduits have been treated at the time of processing, and they will emit light when exposed to specific light.

It's just that this method can only determine its location, and to really observe its details, you have to use professional equipment such as scanning electron microscopes.

Chen Shen circled the plate twice and asked the researchers to put it on the electron microscope.

Soon, a detailed image of it appeared on the monitor.

Under the SEM, its cross-sectional structure is visible at a glance.

It is only four nanometers in diameter, but at such a small scale, the inner wires and the outer insulation are clearly visible, and if you zoom in on it, it looks exactly like the wires used in everyday life.

This is not the thinnest nanowire in the world, the thinnest nanowire has already been made, just three atoms wide.

However, that thing is an experimental product, and it can't be used at all, and it has no application scenarios.

But at present, this nano wire is really going to be installed on the spacecraft, and the maturity and complexity of the process are far more than the previous achievement I don't know how many times, just the nano wire self-synthesis of 57 meters, can make other countries not see the tail lights.

This is a comprehensive transcendence from materials to processes to post-processing.

After reading the entire sample overview, Chen Shen asked: "How long will it take for this batch of sample testing to be completed?" ”

"It's going to take about three or four days."

"That machine is producing another kind of nanowire tube that needs to be tested, right?"

"That's right, we are currently planning to produce them one by one, and if there is no problem after testing, we will mass-produce nanowire tube machines, and then start mass production of nanowire tubes."

Ding Zhiyi said.

His meaning is very clear, that is, to be conservative.

Relying on the current nanowire tube machine, one by one to produce the required nanowire tubes and test, if it is determined that there is no problem with the machine can be finalized, and then start to increase the production capacity of the machine, and then improve the productivity of the nanowire tube.

After all, only relying on the current machine to produce tens of meters at a time, if you want to complete the production of the thousands of meters of wire pipe needed by the Black Antelope, you have to toss back and forth dozens of times.

And the delay is enough time to have a child, so expanding production capacity is a must.

It's just that Chen Shen is still not satisfied.

"In the past few days, I have given me a full set of design data for the nanowire tube machine, if I don't find any defects, and there are no problems in this batch of samples, I will produce 20 more units, this thing will not break through the production capacity limit in a short time."

"Otherwise, when all seven kinds of wire tubes are tested, the production line of the nano thruster can be put into production."

Ding Zhiyi wiped the sweat from his head, "It's too wasteful if something goes wrong, I don't know if the above will approve it......"

Chen Shen doesn't care about the project budget, and Wang Qian is half of it, but this kind of big action of adding dozens of machines must be reported for approval.

According to Ding Zhiyi's past experience, there is a high probability that this application will be rejected.

It's not for any other reason, it's just because it's so wasteful.

As long as there is a small problem, one machine may be scrapped directly, and it is normal to scrap only one prototype, but if it is scrapped twenty units......

You must know that such a machine, although the design is not difficult, but the cost is really not low.

These 20 machines, purely evaluated according to the market value, I am afraid that they will cost nearly 10 billion.

What if it's really scrapped......

This kind of behavior that can be called a loser may only be done by Lao Mei in the last century.

At that time, when the Saturn V engine F-1 for the moon landing was developed, there were signs of explosion before the engine was launched, and it was impossible to determine the problem.

So the engineers decided to put explosives in the burning F-1 engine to induce the appearance of combustion instability in order to induce the appearance of combustion instability and observe the change of flames during the actual ignition process.

The trial lasted three years and was conducted more than 2,000 times.

In this ordinary sentence, it may be the history of blood and tears of 2,000 rocket engines......

That is to say, in order to develop that F-1, the opposite side frantically built F-1 engine samples for three years, and then kept testing, scrapped one and built another one, and the new engine was immediately sent to the test bench for testing, and scrapped and rebuilt......

The cycle was repeated over and over again, and only then did a large amount of data be mastered, and the F-1, the rocket engine with the largest thrust in history, was created.

In the past three years of experiments, every day can be said to be burning American knives, showing the local tyrant style of the big landlord.

It's just that this kind of style can't be learned in China.

The reason is simple, because I have a disease - the disease of poverty.

Therefore, there is always a taste of careful calculation in domestic scientific research, wearing glasses, knocking on the abacus with one hand and engaging in research with the other.

It's just that this problem can't bother Chen Shen now.

He shook his head: "You directly said in the report that it was my request, and then I should have no problem signing it." ”

Ding Zhiyi suddenly didn't know what to say.

He didn't know if Chen Shen was bragging, or if he really had this kind of privilege that made people envy to tears......

If this is true, then his tears may not be uncontrollable.

Not to mention him, even the other older researchers next to him were all full of envy in their eyes at this time.

Only a few young researchers still don't understand what's going on.

At first glance, he is a rookie who has never applied for funding.

Chen Shen didn't know what was going on, and said to himself, "If all the experiments are done according to your plan, this project can be completed." ”

I didn't know that the glasses of the researchers next to me were already red......

Seeing Chen Shen say more and more heavily, Ding Zhiyi had no choice but to believe it for the time being.

"Okay, then I'll report later."

"Now I'll have someone send the design data of the nanowire tube machine to your room."

"Okay."

Chen Shen parted ways with Ding Zhiyi and others, followed the others to the temporary dormitory, and after a while, he received the information sent by Ding Zhiyi, and signed the application report he drafted by the way.

According to the application on the report, as long as the performance test of the first batch of wire pipes passed three days later, and Chen Shen did not put forward modification requirements for the wire pipe machine, 20 nanowire tube machines should be produced quickly.

"Chief Master Chen, will this matter really go as smoothly as you say?"

Seeing Chen Shen signing, Ding Zhiyi couldn't help but ask out loud.

Chen Shen thought for a while and replied: "There was no problem before, and there should be no problem this time, you can type the report first." ”

"Then Chief Master, do you think I can transfer the work unit to the Dome Base?"

Ding Zhiyi opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say this sentence in his heart.

People in their forties, want face.

Ding Zhiyi took the fluttering report and quickly returned to his office.

The first thing to do is to type the report.

He hoped that the report would be adopted.

Although being thrown such a distance away by a young man may cause him severe frustration and even the possibility of crying on the spot.

But who doesn't want a better research environment for research?

Who doesn't want to buy a lot of money and come directly to two sets of instruments if they lack anything?

If 20 line pipe machines are really built, the progress of the project can be greatly accelerated, regardless of whether there are problems with the final machines.

Ding Zhiyi was not interested in other affairs, and the rest of the time was basically staring at his mailbox and phone.

If it is a refusal, it is most likely an email notification, and it is unlikely that a phone call will come and scold him as an applicant.

If it passes, it should be a phone notification, so as to meet the level of this report.

In the midst of irritability and anticipation, an afternoon passed......

The room seemed to be still, and no news came from what he was expecting or not.

"Whew, how could it be so fast? A report of this level would have to be considered for at least a week. Ding Zhiyi realized that he was stunned, calmed down, and planned to dispose of the work at hand first.

However, in the next second, the phone on the desk rang.

The bell sounded like a sledgehammer hitting his heart, and he quickly picked up the phone.

A man's voice came from inside.

"Director Ding?"

"That's right, it's me, please." Ding Zhiyi hurriedly opened his voice to confirm his identity.

"The report you submitted at noon ......"

Before the words on the other side of the phone were finished, Ding Zhiyi had already guessed the latter part, or the moment the phone rang, he already knew the ending.

Sure enough, the back was just as he thought: "... After review, the current opinion is agreed to pass, and if the performance test is correct and there is no new modification opinion, it will officially take effect, and the specific production arrangements you can communicate with yourself through the previous channels, and the factory will fully cooperate with your work, finished. ”

"Understood."

Ding Zhiyi hung up the phone, a little lost: "This is too fast, right?" ”

He looked at the time, and now only about six hours had passed.

So after his report was submitted, a meeting was held to review it?

And just now, I also specially emphasized that it is fully cooperative with the production ......

"That's too high!"

It's really more popular than a man, and he has lived to a dog for more than 40 years.

No, he's not the only one like that......

Ding Zhiyi hurriedly comforted himself in his heart.

On the other side, Chen Shen roughly finished the design document of the line pipe machine that he had just sent.

He didn't know much about this aspect, but it was okay to rely on his intuition and flexible mind to make a small mistake, and if there was a big hole in the design, he could definitely find it.

It's just that although the appearance of the nanowire tube machine looks like a stitching monster, its design is very superb, and it perfectly accommodates various structural parts in it without any conflict.

Although it has a series of disadvantages such as high energy consumption and insufficient space utilization, it is enough to be able to use it normally.

Just like the previous projects, Chen Shen never cared about these details, after all, this is just a first-generation machine, and the design is still in such a hurry, it is already perfect to be able to achieve this point.

Three days have passed in a flash, Chen Shen has read the design documents several times during this time, and still has not found any loopholes, as long as the performance of the wire tube is up to standard, then this nanowire tube machine can basically be regarded as passed.

According to the samples seen three days ago, the probability of error is not large, and the test items carried out in these three days show that the data is normal and in line with expectations.

In short, for this day, Chen Shen was waiting for the results of the last test.

Just after noon, Ding Zhiyi brought the news.

As soon as he entered the door, he gasped: "The experiment was successful!" ”

"The first nanowire we produced was exactly what we were required to use!"

Ding Zhiyi's voice was very excited, and a big smile opened on his face.

Chen Shen was also relieved when he heard this, and immediately said: "Start the expansion plan immediately, and strive to deploy the machine before the design of the nano thruster production line is completed." ”

"No problem!"

Since the first nanowire tube machine, Ding Zhiyi has already known how fast this kind of machine will be produced if it is real, so he is full of confidence in this requirement.

And after finishing this matter, Chen Shen also set off to return to the base.

He had been immersed in research before, and he didn't pay attention to the time, and after he talked to Xie Yiyi after leaving the factory range, he realized that it was almost the New Year.

It's just that this year is destined to be unable to go home for the New Year.

The Tibetan antelope project is still in normal progress and is in a critical stage of tackling key problems, and he can't walk away at this time if he is not responsible.

"I should be at the base for the New Year this year, and you can come over then." Chen Shen grabbed his hair and came up with a compromise idea.

The Tibetan Antelope Project only had a brief meeting at the base, and did not take root in the base, and now there are no sensitive projects in the base, and that Jingwei helicopter and mecha are really involved in secrets.

Under such circumstances, there is no problem in opening up parts of the country to the outside world.

"And your movie is about to premiere, right? We can go and see it together when the time comes. ”

"It premiered on Chinese New Year's Eve day, and it wasn't a movie I made......"
