Chapter 62 Adapting to the Market
"There is no problem with the technical principle at all, based on the spherical hinged joint structure, and the inspiration of the ultra-low speed hydraulic system of the parallel beam we have shown Liu Gong, the idea is very amazing, although it is only a rough design, but it also mentions some key points in the process."
"If you follow his train of thought, the hydraulic module of the HIP equipment can be solved in a month at most---- of course, I am talking about the solution in the laboratory form, not mass production."
"Not to mention the capacitors, the first batch of capacitors manufactured according to the process documentation has been rolled off the production line, and the theoretical performance is more than 3 times higher than the old process......"
"In summary, our bottlenecks in HIP equipment have been effectively resolved."
In the conference room of the 606 Institute, Wang Xianguo's expression could not hide his excitement, after he received the technical documents forwarded by Lin Yongming, he immediately organized a verification action, and the result did not disappoint him.
This also thought that the hole card that he had dreamed of before was now in his hands.
We can build a HIP press!
We have what it takes to turn the tables on the table at a critical moment!
Of course, it is not possible for us to achieve mass production in a short period of time, and it is difficult to support Project 22 with laboratory-grade HIP equipment to manufacture various parts required for engines and airframes.
But the question is, do you dare to bet?
Does DSI dare to bet? DOES QUINTUS DARE TO BET? Do Yankees dare to bet?
If it really annoys us, we will bury ourselves in self-research, and when the results come out, it will not be as simple as "completely closing the market".
We will use relatively cheap costs and better services to eat all your markets in reverse!
So, from the moment these two technologies were born, the balance of negotiations began to tilt dimly.......
Wang Xianguo's emotions were agitated, and so were the many researchers in the audience.
"Large-capacity capacitors solved? That's not just a matter of HIP presses....... Hey, Brother Liu, I remember that you had a project related to electromagnetism before, can this achievement be useful in the past? ”
"Do you think it's useful? I reported it yesterday. I really didn't expect the breakthrough to come so quickly...... However, I don't think this technology will be applied to our electromagnetic bombs in the end....... In terms of electromagnetic projects, it is estimated that it will be used for photovoltaics, EMUs and the like first. ”
"That's awesome...... I don't know which lab produced the results. The structure of the hydraulic system is also very new, and it is estimated that it will be promising in the future. ”
"That's not necessarily, this design has big limitations, I guess only HIP can be used, but it's already very powerful if it can be made."
"Yes, as soon as HIP came out, our metallurgical industry level has at least crossed 5 years, not to mention the fission effect caused by large-capacity capacitors---- hey, have you heard that someone is doing research in this area before?"
"I heard that Jiangxi is engaged in capacitors, but the results are not from them, I have already asked."
"Then I really don't know which one, it's too low-key......."
In the joyful and enthusiastic discussion, the briefing ended quickly, and the next stage of work has been clarified:
With the hot isostatic pressing equipment has been solved as the basic condition, we will make every effort to promote the development of the No. 22 project.
Reprioritization to ensure that the first prototype was built within four months.
This is not an easy task, but Wang Xianguo is full of confidence.
The heavy haze that originally pressed on his head was completely dispelled by a mysterious and powerful "college student" in an incredible way.
It's like a dark cloud being shattered by a hurricane, exposed by the sun that was hidden deep behind.
At this time, there was only one thought in his heart:
The younger generations are still like this, and we need to work harder!
So he immediately booked a small conference room, gathered relevant experts, and began to discuss the two key technologies.
According to the professional advice of the business staff of the purchasing team, after asking for instructions, their current negotiation strategy has changed.
That is, to expose the hole card to a limited extent, and then use this hole card to pry the already deadlocked negotiations.
So, what can be said and what can't be said becomes particularly important......
.......
Two days later, major Chinese newspapers and media published a shocking piece of news:
China has made significant progress in the field of hot isostatic pressing and superplastic forming, which will greatly promote the development of China's metallurgical industry.
What's even more surprising is that the news is not just a simple report, but also includes a lot of elaboration on the principles of technological breakthroughs, and even mentions some less sensitive data.
At first glance, it looks like the Chinese government wants to do a popular science for its own people.
Most people didn't pay attention to this news after seeing it, and the banana people seized the opportunity to start talking nonsense on the Internet again, such as "winning hemp", "a big country is a big country", "it is better to have money to develop such useless things as it is better to allocate funds to children in the mountains" and other mentally retarded arguments.
However, only a very few people can see the meaning behind this report.
Washington, inside an office in the White House.
A couple of men in suits sit around their desks, reading reports on paper and commenting on them word by word.
"There have been significant advances in both HIP and superplastic forming...... No wonder the purchase of AL-31FN was stopped before, and sure enough, it was intended to make its own engine. ”
"However, I don't know if they plan to optimize the design based on the WS-10 template, or if they want to reinvent the wheel?"
A man with glasses asked.
"There is a high probability that it is an optimized design, and it is obviously an optimization of materials, and the structural design should not change much."
"Otherwise, it's too late."
The white-haired old man sitting next to him replied.
"Makes sense. What do you think? Is this technological breakthrough a big problem? Is it a threat to us? ”
"As we expected---- previous judgment was that they had a technological breakthrough in a certain field, so they chose to overturn the J-10 project and start over."
"Before, we thought it was a breakthrough in the design of the airframe and the structure of the aviation engine, but now we see that they have indeed gone further."
"The key technical difficulties of hot isostatic pressing equipment have been solved, and the manufacturing of equipment is not difficult for a national system like theirs, and then new materials will appear."
"If their progress is fast enough, it is estimated that within 5-10 years, the standard third-generation aircraft will be officially put into service."
"Within 10-20 years, it is possible that the fourth-generation aircraft will make its first flight."
After a pause, the old man continued:
"If we look at the timeline extended, this small breakthrough has not actually had much impact on the overall situation, at most our prediction needs to be adjusted a few months forward."
"However, in the short term, our strategy needs to be adjusted somewhat."
"Inform DSI to resume negotiations with Huaxia."
"There is a high probability that they will not import hot isostatic pressing equipment on a large scale in the future, at least we must make this money first!"
Hearing the old man's words, the man with glasses asked with a little hesitation:
"BUT DSI HAS REACHED AN AGREEMENT WITH QUINTUS, ALBEIT VERBALLY, IF IT IS BROKEN...... ...... to our reputation"
"It's an honor to DSI."
The old man interrupted him and continued:
"What is important about the reputation of a merchant?"
"They're just going with the market."
