After the preparation of the new carbon-carbon composite material was completed, Zhang Xingyang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

This proves that the technology in one's head, even when applied in this world that was close to two hundred years ago.

There is no deviation due to time issues.

But now Zhang Xingyang can't rest, and there is still a little troublesome thing at the moment.

That is Su Che and Qian Siming, two professors of materials science who just came over.

Professor Qian Siming, in particular, was very excited to tug at Zhang Xingyang's sleeve, pointed to the new materials on the stage, and kept asking all kinds of questions.

"The substrate of the material, what did you choose? Single-layer carbon embryo? Carbon fiber cloth? Or graphite? ”

"What are the source gases in the process of carbon sequestration?"

"What kind of material structure can have such strength?!"

"If only there was a scanning electron microscope!"

Zhang Xingyang did not answer Qian Siming's question, because these questions are relatively sensitive key technical points.

I can understand the excitement of the other party, as a researcher who has been deeply involved in the field of materials for many years, when he sees a material with strong performance.

But his current ass is sitting on the side of the Rocket Research Institute, and it is impossible for the achievements of his unit to be prostituted by others.

"The main technical route, I will write a paper in a few days, and you can look at it then."

Zhang Xingyang looked at Qian Siming, who was looking forward to it, and said unhurriedly.

Su Che has to see it more thoroughly than his friends, and Zhang Xingyang, as the person in charge of the Rocket Research Institute, cannot casually tell others the details of his new technology.

He is now concerned with another issue, which is the cost of new materials and whether they can be mass-produced.

"Can this material be mass-produced now, and how much will it cost?"

Zhang Xingyang glanced at Su Che, who was also very happy, but did not go crazy, and mentally calculated for a few seconds and burst out a set of data.

"The laboratory cost is about 1,500 yuan/kg, and the mass production cost can be controlled at about 1,100 yuan/kg if properly managed."

Su Che didn't react much after listening to it, the impact of the material properties on him before was too great, resulting in desensitization to the originally exaggerated data now.

Compared with the nickel-based superalloys commonly used today, the high-temperature performance of the new carbon-carbon composites has almost doubled and the weight has been reduced by one-third, but the cost is less than half that of nickel-based alloys.

If this material is applied to the development of the WS-10 engine in which he participated, the performance of the turbofan 10 will be greatly improved.

The low density of carbon-carbon materials alone can improve the thrust-to-weight ratio a lot.

And the improved high temperature resistance means more combustion eruptions, more thrust!

Not to mention its cost, compared to nickel-based superalloys, it is almost a rolling grade advantage.

"Xingyang, have you ever thought about when it will be mass-produced?"

Su Xiao looked at it with a smile, and Zhang Xingyang, who had been yawning and sleepy-eyed, asked.

"I haven't thought about it for the time being, and I may have to rebuild the factory for production, and it is estimated that it will take at least a few months."

Zhang Xingyang estimated the construction speed of this era in his memory.

"What if I could find you a ready-made field?" Su Xiao heard that the other party was interested in mass production, and hurriedly asked.

Although his brain is tired, it does not mean that Zhang Xingyang's thinking is drowsy.

On the contrary, with the blessing of protein chips in his brain, he thinks far faster than ordinary people.

Su Che helped himself find a factory for no reason, it is impossible for him to have no benefit, as the so-called "nothing to do, no treachery or theft." ”

"Professor Su, if you have any ideas, you might as well say it directly."

As the youngest academician in the 22nd century, Zhang Xingyang is very direct and does not like twists and turns.

Su Che didn't feel embarrassed when he heard that the other party directly pointed out that he had ulterior motives, but said:

"I don't know Xingyang, have you heard of our self-developed turbofan ten project?"

Relevant information instantly appeared in Zhang Xingyang's mind.

The WS-10 project, which started in 82, has the core aircraft technology from the CFM56 aero engine of the Eagle Sauce family and the AL-31F engine of the Mao Bear family.

The first core machine was developed in 92, and then a lot of setbacks were encountered in the next few years, and it was not until 05 years that the expected performance was achieved and officially finalized.

As the first high-thrust military turbofan engine in the Dragon Kingdom, the WS-10 experienced a lot of difficulties.

If you can help yourself, that's fine.

Zhang Xingyang thought for a moment in his mind and said:

"I've heard of some, but I don't know much about it."

Although I know the whole process of this engine from design and development to its withdrawal from the historical stage, I can't say it yet, otherwise it may cause a lot of trouble.

Su Che pondered the information he could say and said:

"This engine is currently in the R&D and testing stage, and now it has encountered a lot of problems, among which the material is the big problem.

If this new carbon-carbon composite material can be used, it can solve a lot of problems. ”

Su Che paused for a moment and continued,

"If you can agree, I can contact the military to find you a carbon material processing plant for the Rocket Research Institute."

The reasons and conditions given by the other party can quite move Zhang Xingyang's heart.

Whether it is for the next development of the Rocket Research Institute or the scientific and technological progress of the Dragon Kingdom, Zhang Xingyang has no reason to refuse.

"Of course I agree, but the details may have to be discussed with the military and factories."

Zhang Xingyang said lightly, as if he didn't take such a perverted new material in his eyes.

Su Che couldn't help but smile and sighed:

"Sure enough, it is a hero from ancient times, and the ancients will not deceive me!"

"For specific details, I will let the military connect with your research institute at that time."

At this time, Su Che also saw that Zhang Xingyang didn't seem to close his eyes for a long time, and pulled Qian Siming, who was still meditating on the materials on the stage.

Facing the sleepy Zhang Xingyang and Geng Bo, who was looking at the experimental records and contemplating, they said hello and prepared to leave.

However, Qian Siming didn't want to go, and shouted:

"I'm not leaving!"

"Old Su, don't pull me!!"

"Xingyang, is there still a shortage of people in your research institute now?!"

"I can come right away, and I can be a lab assistant!!"

Qian Siming is a material science maniac, and now he has seen such powerful materials, and it is so easy to let him go.

In the end, it was Su Che and Geng Bo who persuaded them to return to Santana outside the research institute.

However, Su Che looked at Qian Siming, who was sitting in the back row and still thinking about the materials, and kept muttering to himself, and had an ominous premonition.

It seems that this trip to the University of Aerospace sent a professor of materials science.

I may soon lose this colleague I have worked with for several years.

And Zhang Xingyang, who is in the Rocket Research Institute, has fallen asleep.

In my dream, I returned to the old era, and I rode the "Qinglong" space battleship, shuttling through the endless sea of stars!
