Inside the Institute of Frontier Science and Technology.

Everyone listened attentively to Jiang Chen's explanation.

"The bypass ratio data also seems to be a bit unusual."

"It should be made bigger, and the thrust performance can go up a lot!"

"The fan surface has less air inhalation and bypass air, and the combustion efficiency is not enough, resulting in a large increase in fuel consumption!"

"And here."

Jiang Chen was staring at the data on the screen, constantly making various corrections!

After all, this aero engine has been changed from a small duct to a large duct, and it is normal to have all kinds of problems.

There are many aspects of the problem, which are not taken into account!

Fuel economy and endurance are the most important things for transport aircraft, not thrust performance and so on!

But on the previous EPD-20 engine, it was exactly the opposite!

Fighter jets need maneuverability, but transport planes don't!

"Okay, Chief Engineer Jiang!!"

"There is a problem in this area, and we need to revise it."

"Fuel efficiency should be a major consideration. This is not a fighter after all! ”

"The sector can be enlarged, the intake circulation can be increased, so that the efficiency of the combustion chamber is higher!"

Several academicians of the Academy of Aviation nodded and said, obviously agreeing with this statement.

Fighter engines, like transport aircraft engines, are themselves completely different in terms of needs.

What the transport aircraft pursues is transportation efficiency, endurance, carrying capacity, etc., followed by speed!

An unusually fuel-guzzling transport plane is no less than a bird with broken wings!

No matter how good the performance on paper is, it does not have much practical ability at all, and it must be considered comprehensively!

And this time the transport aircraft they want to develop will surpass the C-5 and even surpass the existence of the An-225!

Don't be sloppy!

"The H-20 also has to think about this problem"

"But if stealth is needed, then the H-20 has to be a small culvert!"

"It is estimated that it will be used on the H-20, and this engine will have to continue to be overhauled!"

"It's going to be hard."

Lu Yuanhang suddenly had a headache when he thought of this problem, their real challenge was this!

Only with flat bombers and fighters, the surface area of the fuselage is reduced as much as possible, and the radar cannot detect it!

And a flat shape means that an aero engine with a small duct is necessary!

And the H-20 has to have a small duct, sufficient load capacity and endurance, and in this case, it is also fuel-efficient!

With this overhaul, this is no less difficult than re-developing!

While everyone was still discussing the various technical points.

Suddenly.

A R&D person walked in with a data report in his hand!

Speaking to Jiang Chen and the others, he said:

"The first batch of 6 J-20s of Chief Engineer Jiang have all been upgraded!"

"After the flight test by Captain Li and other elite pilots!"

"The performance data is all working fine. The standard has been met! ”

There was a strong joy and excitement in his tone!

The words just fell!

"Great, this J-20 has finally been upgraded!"

"Performance is all right? Wouldn't that soon be on the front line? ”

"It's almost, it should be delivered to the Air Force at any time!"

"Don't you know, the Air Force Lao Tian is about to live in Dean Lin's office during this time!"

Several academicians of the Aviation Academy suddenly had joy on their faces and opened their mouths to communicate.

Not to mention the Air Force, even they have been looking forward to this day for a long time!

This is the first batch of upgraded J-20 fighters, and all of them are dual new engines instead of single engines!

After all, in terms of single-shot performance, it's not that big!

It's better to directly double the J-20, or even directly hit the F22 fighter equipped with XA-100!

After the test is completed, it means that it can be delivered to the front-line units of the Air Force for use!

However.

Just when they rejoiced in it.

Jiang Chen frowned, he was a little dissatisfied and said to Lu Yuanhang:

"Why are there only 6 upgrades?"

"That's too little, isn't it? Our production speed is not so slow, is it? ”

"For such a long time, only so many J-20s can be installed? What's going on? ”

"Is there something wrong with us?"

He has been busy with various research and development, so the assembly and production matters have always been carried out by Lu Yuanhang!

It was originally estimated that there should be at least 20 J-20 sorties in the first batch this time, but there were only 6 of them?

You must know that the J-20 is a formation of three aircraft, which can only be equipped with two formations.

Even a flying squadron needs 12 sorties of fighters, what are these 6 for?

According to this train installation speed, the time required to replace all the J-20s in Huaxia is probably to be measured in years!

Not to mention that there are J-15, J-10C and other fighters, at this rate, it will take the year of the monkey to complete the upgrade?

"Chief Engineer Jiang can't help it!"

"The main thing is that the current material production is really not enough. Only a dozen engines have been produced in this month! ”

"So I can only upgrade 6 J-20 sorties, which is already the most extreme efficiency!"

Lu Yuanhang shook his head helplessly and explained.

It's not that their production speed is too slow, it's that the supply of material production can't keep up!

At present, the three new alloy materials developed cannot be manufactured in large quantities.

Even if it's just one of the easiest ultra-high temperature wear-resistant alloys.

The production cost is not a problem, after all, one gram of ultra-high temperature wear-resistant alloy is only 4 pieces/g!

The cost of materials for an engine is only 8 million at best! (Calculated as 2 tons.) ）

However, the output of materials is only a little bit!

Come to think of it.

"That's a problem!"

"I'll go back and optimize the production equipment later. It is necessary to step up mass production! ”

"And it's no longer up to our Academy of Sciences to produce materials, that's too slow!"

"Let the following research institutes carry out preliminary R&D and production work!"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and then commanded directly.

Let the various research institutes under the Institute of Materials Engineering start construction simultaneously, so that the output can be quickly expanded!

Not only does the new engine of the J-20 need, but the electromagnetic weapons on the other side also need ultra-high temperature wear-resistant alloys!

When an electromagnetic weapon fires a bullet, the high-temperature steel that bursts out in an instant can't bear it!

"Yes!" Lu Yuanhang and others responded in unison.

After a while, after explaining all the problems.

Jiang Chen was sitting on the desk in the research institute, his fingers tapping on the tabletop.

Apparently he was in deep thought at this point.

"The high-performance version of the Gundam mecha"

"You need an upgraded version of a high-density solid-state battery, I'm afraid that thing won't be so easy to build!"

"On the research institute's side, it is estimated that it will take some time to complete the upgrade technology of energy batteries."

"The rest of the R&D projects. It's going well! ”

He whispered to himself in his heart, constantly thinking about the next research and development plan, how to proceed!

At present, almost all R&D projects seem to be stalled, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

At this time.

Zhao Xiu walked up to him and asked.

"Chief Engineer Jiang's exoskeleton armor has been developed!"

"The development of the military version of the Gundam mecha is going very well so far."

"I feel like I'll be able to design it soon."

"Only the last two difficulties are left: sensing and transmission!"

His tone was full of excitement!

After all, there is a theoretical basis provided by Jiang Chen, as well as a full set of drawings involved!

And all of them have finished Gundam mechas, and their research and development speed is naturally increasing by leaps and bounds!

Not only will the exoskeleton armor be developed immediately, but even the military version of the Gundam Mecha will be finalized in no time!

Hear this.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen seemed to remember something, and a happy look suddenly appeared on his face!

It's not just because the development of the military version of the Gundam mecha is going well.

He had just remembered something crucial, something he hadn't had time to develop yet!

"I thought about what the next direction of research and development should be for the institute!"

"There's something I haven't developed yet!"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly spoke.

He had already thought of what the next R&D plan would be!

That's exactly the kind of technology he got in the first place!

However, because he has been busy with various research affairs during this time, Jiang Chen has never thought about it!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is just right to develop it directly!

"Chief Engineer Jiang, the new R&D direction of our research institute??"

"What kind of technology is that? I've never heard you mention it, huh? ”

Zhao Xiu's tone was confused, and he said after a while.

He didn't remember that he had mentioned this before, and he didn't have the slightest impression in his memory!

Hear him say that.

"I think we can start developing Gundam!!" Jiang Chen said word by word.

"R&D Gundam? Haven't we been developing it all the time? ”

"Could it be the better-performing Gundam mech? That's not a new project! ”

"It's just an upgrade"

Zhao Xiu was even more puzzled, could it be that he misunderstood?

Even if it's a fully upgraded Gundam Mecha Military Edition, that's just the original direction of development!

Merely.

Staring at Zhao Xiu and everyone present!

"No, it's not a Gundam mecha, and it's not a military version of a Gundam mecha!"

"We're working on a Giant Gundam!!"

"A real Gundam, the kind of Gundam mecha that is more than ten or twenty meters tall!"

Jiang Chen shook his head, his tone was full of excitement, and his eyes shone brightly.

His words just fell!!

In an instant!

Zhao Xiu's eyes widened, and he looked completely incredulous!

Giant Gundam?

The entire research institute suddenly became silent, as if a needle could be heard!

Whether it is academicians or ordinary researchers, they are all dumbfounded!

It's as if I'm wondering if I'm hallucinating!!

"Hiss"

"Chief Engineer Jiang, you want to develop Gundam??"

"The kind of giant gundam that is more than ten or twenty meters tall??"

Good guys, they even wondered if Jiang Chen was joking!
