Many of the researchers present did not know Chen Nian's identity or what he could do, but the earliest group of experts who participated in the assessment, especially Lei Gang and Chen Guo, could feel Chen Nian's potential.

The moment he saw him raise his hand, Lei Gang immediately understood that this young man, who had already brought him a huge surprise, might have made a bigger breakthrough.

"Everyone, be quiet."

"I've heard the opinions of all of you, and so far, it's nothing more than two voices."

"The first is that we should be pragmatic and down-to-earth, and first understand one aspect of the content."

"The second is that we should dare to think and dare to challenge a goal that can completely change the status quo."

"In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with either of these proposals, and they are rational judgments based on the situation we are facing now."

"Personally, however, I prefer the second opinion."

"Why? Because we have made Ti-6Al-4V titanium-aluminum alloy materials. ”

"Two weeks ago, this lightweight, tough, heat-resistant material was out of reach, but now, I can tell you that in the short term, we can achieve mass production of this material!"

"It's a huge breakthrough, and the people who made it ---- people, and they told me they could have more breakthroughs!"

"Among them, there are single crystal nickel-iron alloys, Alloy C flame retardant titanium alloys, ceramic-based composite TBC, and resin-based outer duct coatings."

"Of course, the establishment of a project should not be based on any guarantee made by beating the chest, but I think we should at least try it, give them a chance, and give us a chance at 601."

"This may result in a certain amount of resource consumption, but it is within an acceptable range."

"So my suggestion is to upgrade the No. 22 project, expand the boundaries of the project, and make it our main goal to build an airplane!"

As the words fell, there was a cheer in the conference room.

"Good! You have to have such a heart! I don't even dare to think about it, that's a fart! ”

"That's right! We've been in the bag for years, and it's time to do something! ”

"That's right! What is the point of blowing a wind tunnel and building a model? In the end, it's just a time to contribute a little bit to the system, and if you want to do it, you have to do it bigger! ”

"Isn't it just to build an engine? It's like how godly the Yankee's engine is, everyone understands the principle, and it's a big deal to solve the past one by one. ”

"I think so, too, even if it takes 10 years? Ten years of history is better than a year or two to get a mixed title full of water! ”

.......

Of course, in addition to these optimists, there are also rational people who have expressed doubts about this.

Especially after Ray just announced the project budget.

The first phase of investment, 200 million.

The estimated investment in the whole cycle is 5 billion.

What bigness?

Dare to love the above is rushing to build an airplane?

But to make such a decision, it's not enough to rely on what you have in your hand, right?

Could it be that from a corner of the research institute, a super materials science team has emerged?

Or is there a major breakthrough on the 606 side?

Or maybe the underground workers lurking in the United States have suddenly made some amazing progress......

Either way, it feels a bit unrealistic to think about it.

In the midst of a noisy discussion, Lu Yan opened his mouth and asked:

"Mr. Lei, are we sure that this project is so big?"

"We can't just rely on enthusiasm to engage in research and development, right? What is the opinion of the 606 Institute? Can they solve the problem of Hangfa? ”

"If we just talk about design, if the engine can't push the plane in the end, won't it be in vain?"

"Now the WS-10 is not going well, and whether we can pass the assessment next year is a question, so we won't pin our hopes on this thing, right?"

Lei Gang shook his head and replied:

"The turbofan 15 is not our target scheme, our target is the F119-PW-100."

"What are you kidding?"

When the words fell, everyone froze in place.

Even the most optimistic Zhao Sui looked at Lei Gang in amazement, his eyes full of disbelief.

The F119 engine, the world's strongest turbofan engine with a small bypass ratio, has a maximum thrust of 19.5 tons, a thrust-to-weight ratio of 11.5, and a net weight of only 1,300 kg.

Since its maiden flight six years ago, the legend of this engine has been passed down in aerospace research institutes around the world.

Countless eyes are staring at him, and countless people are trying to decipher its mystery, but its complex design principles, ultra-high processing accuracy, and unique manufacturing materials have discouraged many researchers.

In comparison, the turbofan 10, which has been developed for more than 10 years, seems to be a product of an era behind it in front of it!

After all, in the plan, the turbofan-10 has a maximum thrust of only 13 tons, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is only 7.8.

Although the difference is not big in numbers, when converted into actual performance, it is not even half of the F119.

And this is already the representative of the highest level of Huaxia Aviation Development Industry.

In this case, where did Lei Gang get his confidence to say that the target was F119?

Lu Yan's face was full of doubts, and he looked at Lei Gang for a moment, waiting for his answer.

Lei Gang, on the other hand, cleared his throat and unfolded the document on the table that was almost soaked with his sweat.

He held up the document and said:

"As you mentioned earlier, there's nothing surprising about the F119's design principle."

"What really prevents us from 'making' it is the craftsmanship and the materials."

"If these problems are solved, the problem of the engine will be solved, at least the difficulty will be greatly reduced."

"And now, what I'm holding in my hand can solve one of those problems."

"A problem with the turbofan blades."

Turbofan blades?

Lu Yan frowned.

This is indeed the most important problem in aviation development, and it is also one of the most difficult problems.

It was so difficult that Russia couldn't solve it, and in the end a multi-rotor structure was used to make up for the lack of power.

If this problem can be solved, it seems that it is really like what Lei Gang said, and the core problems of Hangfa can be reduced by at least half.

But how to solve it?

Hollow blades? Perforated blades? TBC coating?

It's not a blade material, is it........ It's not an ordinary difficulty.......

However, the moment this thought flashed through his mind, Lei Gang's voice also sounded at the same time:

"This is a manual for the industrial production of single-crystal nickel-based high-temperature resistant alloys."

"We have asked experts from the Institute of Materials of the Chinese Academy of Materials to test it, and the performance is reliable."

There was silence in the room, and everyone fell into a brief freeze.

No one doubts the significance of this breakthrough, they just don't know what attitude to take to deal with it.

Lei Gang looked around, and finally fell on Chen Nian's body.

Then he spoke:

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today, starting from Project 22, a new era is coming."
