"Have the materials been submitted to the Beijing Institute of Materials? Haven't mentioned it yet? What the? Give me a rush to urge Hu Xu, don't worry about the optimization and verification first, and hand it over directly to the Institute of Materials Research, let them set up a team, what can the people of the Western Research Institute do! ”

"Is the CAD modeling coming out? Came out? Good! Finally, there is good news! ”

"Xiaoliang, let you contact the hot isostatic pressing equipment manufacturer, how is the contact? We need at least 4 sets of HIP for a batch, can we get it? ”

"Still communicating? How long are you going to communicate! Tell you, if there is a problem with this procurement, it will affect our entire project, and none of us can afford this responsibility, so hurry up and make an appointment to talk! ”

"He Shu, how are the materials prepared? The base material is fine, right? Has the rhenium reserve been applied down? How much? 20 kg? Let's make do with it...... Let Jiang Tong send it over quickly. ”

"What about other raw materials? There's a ready-made yes? Okay, that's fine. By the way, apply for a few more tons of titanium and put it in reserve! ”

In the 606 laboratory, Wang Xianguo, who served as the project director of the engine sub-project of the No. 22 project, looked serious, calling one after another, asking about the latest progress.

His forehead was sweating slightly, of course, not because of the hot weather, but because, just half an hour ago, his immediate boss Lin Yongming personally came to the 606 Institute and was now sitting opposite him.

"What difficulties do you still have, just say it now, I will try my best to solve it for you, if there is something that can't be solved, the platoon task will be assigned a task, even if the national resources are mobilized, this hurdle must be crossed!"

"It's a big project, but it's also a difficult project, and many of the technologies are tried and verified for the first time."

"So, it's normal for you to feel stressed."

"But don't be afraid of challenges, because someone has already done the hardest part for you."

Lin Yongming looked kind, but there was no room for what he said.

After Wang Xianguo listened, a wry smile appeared on his face.

It is to mobilize the resources of the whole country, and not to be afraid of challenges.

Isn't that just beating yourself?

Yes, the hardest part has been solved, but that doesn't mean the rest isn't hard!

Equipment and processes alone are not something that can be explained clearly in a single sentence.

Yes, the formula of high-temperature nickel-based ferroalloy is available, and the basic synthesis method is also available, but what about the detailed process?

At what temperature is rhenium added, at what kp strength is HIP preheated, and what is the annealing process?

You'll have to try it again and again.

The completion time of the project required by Lin Yongming is only half a year......

It seems that in the past six months, everyone has to work overtime.

There are still two months to celebrate the New Year, and this year, I can't pass it again.

Thinking of this, Wang Xianguo took a deep breath and replied:

"Leader, don't worry, all members of our project team have made plans, and they will definitely not delay the progress of the project!"

"If you want to talk about difficulties, we now have two biggest difficulties: the first is HIP equipment, the current supplier with the best technology and the most sophisticated equipment is DSI company in the United States, and the most cost-effective and relatively low difficulty in introducing is Quintus company in Sweden."

"But the problem is that neither company is willing to work together."

"DSI needless to say, when we introduced GLEEBLE3500, we wasted a lot of tongues---- I still remember, at that time, they even sold Black Hawk, but they didn't want to sell hot isostatic presses."

"Later, we promised to use it only for laboratory purposes, and we finally took it down."

"Now, if we purchase again, we will definitely face their scrutiny, and there will be no way to keep it secret."

"So I'm not going to think about it."

"As for Quintus, we had a good conversation some time ago, but since the last incident with the South China Sea EP-3E, their attitude has taken a big turn."

"I suspect that there may be some connection between these two things......"

Hearing his words, Lin Yongming sighed.

Isn't there a connection?

Wang Xianguo's level of secrecy is not enough, there are some things he doesn't know, but he knows it.

In fact, whether it is the provocation in the South China Sea or the difficulty in the introduction of hot isostatic pressing equipment, in fact, there is a shadow of US manipulation behind it.

They just want to delay the research and development process of Huaxia's new fighter and force Huaxia's air force to be in a state of suppressed "marginal balance" for a long time.

It's just that their wishful thinking has long been seen through.

Cheng Fei's side has already started the development of the next generation of fighters, but it will take a little time before the results are being produced.

I have to endure it for a few more years......

---- no, now that there is Project 22, this forbearance time is likely to be reduced to less than a year!

Wait, now you are suppressed everywhere, and one day, you will be trampled under your feet......

Lin Yongming restrained his slightly chaotic thoughts, and after a moment of silence, he spoke:

"I'll figure out how to solve this problem."

"DSI's attitude is tough, but not without breaking points, they are not completely aligned with Congress, and if we can come up with convincing enough conditions, it should not be difficult to exchange a few HIP equipment."

"Quintus is also doing it at the same time---- they just received the news and want to take this opportunity to ask for more money, so I'll give it to them if it's a big deal."

"I will participate in the next negotiation, and I will talk about it when the time comes."

Wang Xianguo, who was opposite, nodded and said the word "good".

But Lin Yongming hasn't finished asking.

"I just heard you mention rhenium metal, is 20 kilograms enough?"

Wang Xianguo replied with a wry smile:

"How can it! According to the formula, the rhenium metal content in nickel-iron alloys should reach more than 4%, and the Yankee fighters will even achieve 6% to 8%. ”

"Our reserve is actually enough for 6 to 7 engines, not to mention the test loss."

"This is indeed a big problem, but to be honest, the domestic rhenium metal reserves should now be 500 to 800 kilograms, and it would be good to let them transfer it later."

Listening to Wang Xianguo's slightly bitter words, Lin Yongming couldn't help but sigh again.

Shabby!

The entire country has less than a ton of reserves, how many planes can be used?

If this continues, even if new planes and new engines are built, will the production capacity be able to keep up?

Don't worry about this now, but what about ten or twenty years from now?

It's hard to pass.

But there is no way, it is difficult to pass the pass.

Since nearly 100 years ago, haven't we been able to pass through one level at a time?

From Hanyang Iron Works, to Baosteel and Wuhan Iron and Steel;

From the General Administration of Machine Building, to the Dalian Shipyard;

From Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, to AVIC and CNNC;

From millet plus rifle to two-bullet fusion......

And now, it's time for us to move from J-8 to J-22.

The day it is born, the whole world will pay attention to it.
