A few days later, Kawasaki Group's Mizutani Hayabusa arrived in China as a representative of the carbon fiber complex.

Subsequently, in a very short period of time, the two parties reached an agreement on the introduction.

Of course, what plays an important role in this is the order for the Indian high-speed rail that Huaxia took the initiative to sell.

After all, after Huaxia's withdrawal, Kawasaki Heavy Industries has higher bargaining power and can also avoid the risk of malicious competition.

The potential benefits obtained in this are much higher than the benefits of the "300 million order".

That night, whether it was the Chinese side or the island country side, it was a happy and peaceful atmosphere.

It's just that under this joyful atmosphere, there is a huge crisis on the one hand, and an unprecedented opportunity on the other.

In the office of Xi'an University of Technology, Chen Nian looked at the copy of the contract in his hand with satisfaction, and said:

"Professor Chen, you guys are doing this beautiful job!"

"With 6 thousand-ton production lines, including 4 large tow lines, we don't have to worry about carbon fiber materials in the next ten years."

Chen Nian's words are not without basis, in his impression, Huaxia knew in the last life that around 2017, the first 48K large tow thousand-ton production line was built, and before that, most of the high-strength carbon fiber materials were imported.

Now, with the initial "starter", the development of the subsequent carbon fiber industry will continue to accelerate.

This is not a small market.

Not to mention the rapid development of aviation and high-speed rail industry, there are countless civil products involving carbon fiber.

Automobiles, bicycles, construction, all kinds of sports equipment. Including the carbon fiber fishing rod that is the favorite of the anglers, in fact, they all need strong industrial support.

Before 2006, the domestic import rate of carbon fiber materials reached more than 80%, and the pitiful 20% were almost all low-end products.

A large amount of profits flow overseas, bringing unnecessary losses purely due to the "technology generation gap".

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo on the other side smiled calmly and replied:

"We didn't expect it to be so smooth, Xiaori was indeed carried away by the Indian order, and we were a little hesitant, thinking that the project in India was really that good."

"However, anyway, the matter has been decided, so there is no need to think about it so much."

"This introduction can not only solve the urgent needs of the H-20 project, but also revitalize the entire industry in the future."

"According to preliminary estimates, the economic benefits that we can generate this time should be more than 10 billion yuan, and the foreign exchange saved will be even more."

"On a 10-year basis, the total savings should exceed 100 billion."

"This money can be invested in more useful technical departments in the future."

Chen Nian nodded, and from Chen Guo's words, he saw something different.

Perhaps, whether it is on the Internet, among the people, or even in the eyes of some upper-level decision-makers, it is the driving force for the rapid development of the country to engage in some big projects and some decisive equipment.

But in fact, there is an old man who said that very true:

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.

Every spoonful of seasoning, every stir-fry, may determine the taste and heat of the whole dish.

Only by carefully obtaining the slightest benefit and accumulating it can we truly lead to qualitative change through quantitative change.

This is true for the chip project, the same is true for the Yishan project, and now the same is true for the carbon fiber project.

Step by step, before we know it, we have actually come a long way.

Maybe one day in the future, when you look back, you will find that the ordinary little things in front of you at this time are actually the solid bricks and stones that make up the building

Thinking of this, Chen Nian continued to ask:

"If the material problem can be solved, when is the H-20 going to fly test?"

"Mr. Tang's side is expected to be in early March next year, and there are still five months to go."

"Basically, it's about the same, and the 'Nanling' project of the variable-cycle engine is also coming to an end, and the first test is expected to be completed within three months."

"However, it will take some time for this engine to be debugged on the H-20, and this time difference is just right."

Speaking of this, Chen Guo thought for a moment, as if he remembered something, and continued to speak:

"Mr. Yang wants to use the variable-cycle engine on the J-20B first, and now the construction of the airport on Treasure Island has basically been completed, and all kinds of fighters will definitely be deployed there in the future."

"If we can make the J-20B form combat effectiveness in advance, many of the things we want to do will be much easier."

"Well, I think it's fine."

Chen Nian nodded and replied.

After the last incident subsided, overseas neighbors have not come out to do things for a long time.

But it is important for us to be prepared and maintain a basic military presence.

And the best way to have a military presence is warships and fighter jets.

"But speaking of which, it seems that the United States has also suspended their Pacific Rim strategy?"

"Didn't you say before that you were going to deploy medium-range missiles to the south? No news now? ”

"No news."

Chen Guo shook his head and replied.

"It's not just the medium-range missile program — it's their missile wall program, which has been shelved from the current situation, and even the THAAD deployment on the island side has been canceled."

"Moreover, neither of these projects was withdrawn by them on their own initiative, but was rejected by local officials."

"This situation is very good for us, and it can be said that for the first time, their influence has been passively declining."

"It seems that our early operations have indeed been successful."

"According to this trend, as long as the Deep Blue 16 project is completed and the No. 01 aircraft carrier is out of the water, the entire first and second island chains will be under control, at least they will be evenly matched."

"Very good."

Chen Nian let out a long sigh of relief.

After reviewing this one, he had a feeling of being in a different world.

Exactly three years have passed.

Three years ago, the country was in a state of fear and anxiety.

A Middle Eastern power with military strength similar to ours is hung up and fought, and everyone is asking, will it be us next?

But now, the problem has quietly disappeared.

There is only one question that everyone is thinking about:

How many years will it take for us to really stand up to them?

For the time being, there is no answer yet.

After all, we're just trying to fill in the gaps and plug the most urgent loopholes.

It will take time to get to the position of leader.

But Chen Nian believes that it will happen soon.

After leaving Chen Guo's office, Chen Nian went to Wang's laboratory according to the plan he had set before.

At this time, Qiao Mai had officially joined his gang and began to help him do the electromechanical and hydraulic integration transformation of the exoskeleton.

I went there to see how they were doing and if they needed any extra help.

On the way, Chen Nian turned on the system and began to examine his current source situation.

Due to the previous "drainage" propaganda of the Beijing-Shi section of the railway, the number of his source points has far exceeded expectations, so far, 24 source points have been accumulated, and the average daily source point growth has also reached a peak of 0.5.

However, in recent days, the number of source point growth has dropped significantly.

Obviously, this is because the technical fission potential of the category "heavy machinery" is about to be squeezed out.

In the next step, Li Xiang should communicate with them again and output more popular science programs, so as to trigger a new fission.

What to do?

J-22 seems to be a very good direction.

Or, gas turbines?

Anyway, let them worry about it

In a few minutes, Chen Nian had already arrived at the door of the laboratory, and before he entered the open door, he had already heard the discussion between Wang Jiancheng and Qiao Mai inside.

This motor is completely ineffective, the reaction speed is too slow, coupled with the delay of the hydraulic system, there will be a serious frustration in the operation."

"This thing is really up, let alone running, it's hard to even walk."

"The latency should be limited to at least 300 milliseconds, beyond which there is no guarantee of agility"

It was Wang Jiancheng who spoke, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with the results at this stage.

"That's no way, the current motor limit response speed is also up to 500 milliseconds, to meet your standards, at least wait for the next generation of DC servo motors to appear."

Qiao Mai replied a little helplessly.

"But doesn't it mean that the response speed of the motor is within 10 milliseconds? The fastest ones can even reach 0.1 milliseconds. ”

You're talking about startup response speed! To reach the operating speed, is 0.1 milliseconds enough? It's pretty good that we're able to do 500 milliseconds now."

"If you really can't do it, don't pursue agility, let's get the weight of the problem out of it first."

"That would be contrary to my intention to design this exoskeleton!"

"What kind of equipment can fully meet the design goals from the start? It's all going to have to be iterated from generation to generation."

The two people inside were still arguing, Chen Nian opened the dust-proof curtain and walked in, interjected and asked:

"What are you arguing about?"

Hearing Chen Nian's words, the two subconsciously turned their heads, and after seeing Chen Nian's face clearly, Wang Jiancheng hurriedly said:

"Senior, you're just in time."

"We are now experiencing problems, the DC servo motor does not achieve the expected effect at all, the exoskeleton is very slow to react, and it is a step by step to put it on."

Chen Nian glanced at Wang Jiancheng and then at Qiao Mai, whose face was full of indignation.

It looks like the sister of the family kindly helped the elder brother do his homework, and was disgusted in the end.

This made Chen Nian want to laugh a little, he shook his head lightly, and said:

"I heard you arguing just now."

"Actually, Jo Mai is right—haven't I said it before? The only way to truly achieve the agility of a mechanical exoskeleton is to achieve BCI brain-computer direct connection. ”

"Now this kind of technical conditions, even if the problem of DC servo motor is solved, it is impossible to really achieve the exoskeleton 'such as arm command'."

"You might as well really think differently, as your sister Qiao Mai said, solve the problem of weight first, and then think about agility."

"But even if the problem of weight bearing is solved, it will be useless! When the army fights, there is no agility, will the enemy wait for you to move up slowly? ”

Hearing Wang Jiancheng's words, Chen Nian couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"You know the army of hammers!"

"You don't really think that mechanical exoskeletons were created to train super soldiers like Master Chief, do you?"

"No kidding. The real way out of the mechanical exoskeleton is to solve the problem of evacuation operations. ”

"What is evacuation warfare?"

Wang Jiancheng asked with a confused expression.

The so-called evacuation operation refers to the dismantling of large-scale group operations into multi-module, decentralized, and over-the-horizon complex campaigns, and the formation of the entire operational and command system through independent combat units."

"This mode of operation is actually a continuation of the modern operations of the Air Force and Navy."

"Its purpose is to avoid the natural disadvantages of traditional combat methods and to give full play to the maximum combat effectiveness of a single combat unit as much as possible."

"Let's put it this way, it's a macro three-three system"

"Oh, I see."

Wang Jiancheng nodded, but then asked:

"But what does that have to do with the design of my exoskeleton?"

"It's a big deal."

"This kind of combat mode requires that every combat unit have an extremely high firepower projection capability, otherwise once the combat unit is dispersed, it will be easy to be surrounded and annihilated."

"In order to achieve this goal, we must either engage in weapon miniaturization, or engage in unmanned system man-machine cooperation, or increase the load - that is, the current mechanical exoskeleton."

"Therefore, the significance of mechanical exoskeletons is not to be agile in combat."

"Because on most battlefields, there is no scene that requires soldiers to maneuver frequently and move at high speeds."

"What they need to do is squat in a trench for a day, walk hundreds of miles along a long marching route, or stay behind the artillery to carry ammunition, and carry hundreds or thousands of rounds as soon as they move."

"Do you think they really need to be agile in this situation?"

"After all, we are not training master officers, but universal fighters who can work closely together."

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Wang Jiancheng fell silent for a while.

And Qiao Mai on the side was full of "yes, yes, yes, that's it".

Taking advantage of Wang Jiancheng's lack of answer, she opened her mouth and said:

"My thinking is also like this, if we solve the problem of loading, we can improve our sustained combat capability, and as for further applications, we can take our time."

"It's not that agile exoskeletons are completely useless, such as special operations, civilian mechanical control, etc., are still useful."

"But the product always has to be iterated step by step."

"Just like our J-22 and J-20B, don't look at their current performance so perfectly, but behind the scenes, they must have been improved one version after another, don't believe you ask your senior, isn't he also involved in part of the work."

"That's right, Chen Nian?"

Hearing her question, Chen Nian was stunned for a moment.

Version after version of improvements?

Not really

However, in the current situation, it is definitely inconvenient to say such things

So, he had no choice but to speak:

"Well, yes, it's going to be changed many times."

There's one more chapter later
