While driving, Yang Xiaotao was immersed in the news of the failed test flight.
Thinking of the expressions of Huang Lao and others, Yang Xiaotao felt the same way.
It doesn't mean that you can just ignore the matter if it doesn't concern you, nor does it mean that you will take pleasure in someone else's misfortune.
Everyone feels deeply unwilling and helpless.
The same is true for Yang Xiaotao.
The vast sky cannot be protected by aircraft.
Similarly, protection cannot be achieved by just one or a few types of aircraft.
When he chose to design the aircraft engine alone, he never thought that other designs would fail.
All he thought about was that the drawings given by the system would expire if they were not used.
That's why we are rushing to build engines.
But in his heart, he longs for the other party to succeed.
Whether it is the third machine department or the logistics department.
They are all for building revolution and building better airplanes.
Perhaps their aircraft engines are more advanced, after all, they are all learned from Lao Maozi, but theirs is a 'future type' that Lao Maozi has not yet developed, and they are just modifying the 'existing type'.
Speaking of which, there is no conflict between the two.
Everyone is working hard towards the same goal.
But right now, the experiment in the Logistics Department has failed.
He didn't know the specific reason. It might be the engine or other components, but what was certain was that the engines in the logistics department would no longer be used until the cause was found and the hidden danger was not solved.
Then, the pressure came to the three machine departments.
Yang Xiaotao drove slowly and learned more about the affairs of the Three Machinery Department from Ran's father.
It might be better there than at the logistics office.
But it would be difficult to really say that there is no problem.
"I hope it will succeed."
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and then thought of his HXJ-1 engine.
Production is currently stuck in the manufacture of turbines.
Originally I was thinking of using better materials instead.
According to Zhang Guanyu and others, by adjusting the composition of the alloy, the corresponding alloy material can be made to meet the requirements.
At that time, Yang Xiaotao also thought that he could give it a try, but he didn't expect that more than a month had passed and there had been no progress, so this "shortcut" was blocked.
The reason why alloys are called alloys is because a variety of materials are blended together and, after a series of reactions, change and produce new properties.
This is the alloy.
Simply relying on changing the metal content to make a suitable alloy is obviously unworkable.
However, the original engine manufacturing did not require a very good alloy, and the existing titanium alloy materials were sufficient.
Now, a new round of production has restarted.
In the first workshop, Liu Daming and Zhou Hong were working intensively, and it is estimated that it will be finished in a short time.
The back indicates the combustion chamber.
According to Yang Xiaotao's estimation, by the end of the year, the finished product will be ready for various testing experiments.
If everything goes well, we can try to install it on the aircraft next year.
Of course, the premise is that there is an aircraft for installation.
Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about the current research direction of aircraft.
If he were allowed to take charge of the research and development of aircraft, he would definitely give priority to the development of the engine, and then design an aircraft suitable for this engine based on the success of the engine.
Instead of the engine and aircraft running together.
In the end, there may be two parallel lines. If you press them together forcibly, it will be full of errors.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you say such a thing yourself!"
"When the time comes, if it really doesn't work, just do it yourself!"
Yang Xiaotao thought to himself that it was not impossible to design an airplane.
That is, it requires too many consumables.
If not, just keep it simple.
Well, let’s practice with a helicopter!
Um?
"By the way, why did I forget this!"
Suddenly Yang Xiaotao shouted and then braked the jeep to the side of the road.
Caught off guard, Lou Xiao'e almost hit the front glass, but luckily her seat belt caught her.
Even so, it still made her chest hurt.
"What are you doing?"
Lou Xiao'e rubbed her chest, she felt like she was being squeezed.
Both sides are not the same size!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was thinking about something just now, I'm sorry..."
Yang Xiaotao quickly apologized and then looked at his chest...
Can you blame him?
Who allowed it to grow so big!
It's also strange. Without the man, this woman actually developed a second time?
Don’t look at anything inappropriate!
Yang Xiaotao quickly turned his head away, then looked up at the sky, and finally shook his head.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao apologize and then look back, Lou Xiao'e snorted coldly, then turned her body away.
"I'll take you home."
After that, the car started again.
He really wanted to go to the Seventh Machinery Department just now to see if the calculator research group he had created before leaving had made any progress during this period.
The two are to hand over the alloy material data obtained at the Aviation Academy to Wang Kun and the others.
They had done this kind of thing last time, so I guess it wouldn't be a problem this time.
When the time comes, we will have the element content analysis and let the United Star Research Institute conduct experiments according to it, and we will be able to make a suitable alloy.
Moreover, this thing is used on helicopter engines. I guess it can be used on other engines as well.
Just looking at the sky, it was already very late when I came out of the 1st Aircraft Department. If I went to the 7th Aircraft Department, no one might be there.
We can only wait until tomorrow.
With this in mind, Yang Xiaotao drove to Lou's residence.
Outside the alley, Lou's father was playing chess with others.
The stone table was carved into a chessboard, and the chess pieces as big as the palm of one's hand were like bombs in the hands of the two fighting parties, making a snapping sound.
"Old Laozi, is that your daughter?"
The old man who was watching chess saw the jeep parked on the roadside and said to Father Lou who was thinking about it.
When Father Lou heard his daughter hurriedly looking up, he saw his daughter getting out of the car and rubbing her chest from time to time.
When I got off the car and saw the people here, I quickly put my hands down and walked over here without looking back.
"It's true."
After looking at his approaching daughter, Lou's father looked at the jeep parked on the side of the road. He happened to see Yang Xiaotao rolling down the glass. The other party just glanced at Lou Xiao'e and drove away.
"Lao Zi, is that Xiao'e's leader? Is his name Yang Xiaotao?"
The chess player on the opposite side turned around and looked at the jeep leaving and asked hurriedly.
"Yes, it should be him."
Father Lou replied and saw his daughter walking up to him. He quickly got up and walked over, "Xiao'e, are you okay?"
Lou Xiao'e muttered, "It's okay."
"That bastard doesn't drive well, it hurts me to death."
As he spoke, he walked towards the courtyard, moving his upper body as he spoke, making Father Lou frown.
Seeing Lou Xiao'e enter the house, she sighed helplessly.
He knew a little bit about his daughter's thoughts. Over the years, whenever he asked her to find a partner, his expression immediately changed.
And according to my wife, this girl must have a sweetheart in the machinery factory.
And now it seems that it is most likely Yang Xiaotao.
Otherwise, will my chest hurt?
Men, aren’t they all like this?
I think back then, I was also a romantic figure.
Unfortunately, time has changed and everything in the past is like the past.
It's just that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.
The daughter who is at home cannot escape after all.
While Lou's father was sighing, people in the alley were also talking about Yang Xiaotao and Lou Xiao'e.
Although everyone didn't say it out loud, they all thought the same thing.
Everyone has experienced these things between men and women.
"This kid is quite capable despite his young age."
"No, it's often in the newspapers."
"I heard that he was introduced on the radio yesterday."
"Thanks to this young man, otherwise Lao Zunzi's family would be sad..."
"Who says it isn't!"
Several people gathered together to talk. Seeing Lou's father coming back at this time, everyone quickly stopped talking.
They had heard that Yang Xiaotao's blind date was Lou Xiao'e.
What a pity!
...
Three Machinery Department.
Director's office!
After Zheng Shuangyan received the news, she sat alone in the office in a daze.
Mr. Zhang personally called and explained the situation. Although he didn't say anything else, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the engine in the logistics department had failed. The next step was to look at their third machine department!
The pressure is coming heavily!
"Why did it explode!"
Zheng Shuangyan murmured to himself.
When he heard that Clear Enough had already been done, he still sighed in his heart, thinking that he would succeed soon.
It was just a step too late, the honor that I had received just passed by my eyes and slipped away!
But looking at it now, what kind of honor is this?
This is a rush to put it on the shelves, and there is a thunderstorm!
It's just that he didn't feel happy at all.
To put it bluntly, the engines in the logistics department are similar to theirs.
Even if their engine stopped midway, they overturned it and started over again.
But what could be wrong if it was taught by a master?
Even if we start over, the design will only adapt to the current environment.
The difference is that in the past, workers made changes based on actual conditions, but now designers redesign based on existing conditions.
Essentially, it's the same!
So they are essentially the same as the engines in the logistics department.
At best, it's just a bit poor in craftsmanship.
Besides, the other party has been verified, and it is said that each project can meet the requirements.
Under such circumstances, a problem still occurred, and their Third Machinery Department could not guarantee that there would be no problem!
It’s difficult!
It’s so difficult!
Zheng Shuangyan looked at the phone on the table in a daze.
He knew clearly that their Third Aircraft Department would not be able to do it right this time before the Logistics Department started over.
Thinking of this, Zheng Shuangyan picked up the phone and dialed.
"I'm looking for Liu Yuhao and Engineer Liu!"
The other side paused for a moment, and then a voice came.
"Director Zheng, I am Liu Yuhao!"
"Engineer Liu, have you heard about what happened in Shengjing?"
Zheng Shuangyan had no polite words and didn't have the intention to say anything else. She directly asked, "How much do you know?"
The person on the other side was silent again, and then said after a long time, "Director Zheng, what I received is that the aircraft engine first stalled and stopped working during operation, and then the pilot tried to restart it, but the engine did not respond, and there was thick smoke coming out.
The preliminary estimate is that the engine was damaged due to a rupture in the combustion chamber..."
Liu Yuhao told the information he received, and Zheng Shuangyan became more and more heartbroken the more he listened.
"What do you think of our engine?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone again.
After a while, Liu Yuhao spoke again.
"Director, the design of our engine is similar to that of the Logistics Department, and we both use the same materials."
"I took a look. Because of the existing materials, our design focused on the protection and increased the thickness. It is safer than the one in the logistics department!"
"Safer? Are you sure?"
Zheng Shuangyan asked eagerly, still feeling a little uneasy.
"I-I'm not sure!"
After saying a few words, Zheng Shuangyan wanted to swear, but in the end she held back.
"Director, our designs are all carefully calculated."
"Furthermore, there are no problems with the tests at the Logistics Department, and all the data are in line with the standards. I, I guess there is a problem with the design of the aircraft itself, which exceeds the engine overload..."
"Okay, is this something we have considered? Is this something we, Mengniu, have decided?"
Zheng Shuangyan interrupted the other party.
There was silence on the phone.
Both of them felt heavy in their hearts.
"If there is a problem with the combustion chamber, can you fix it?"
Liu Yuhao replied angrily, "There are two options now."
"One is, continue to make it thicker!"
"One is to use new materials!"
After saying this, Liu Yuhao was speechless.
Zheng Shuangyan took a deep breath, material again, material again.
It seems like it can't be made without the materials.
But that’s exactly what happened.
Good material, no!
It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. This is not a tragedy!
