Volume 4 Arms Empire Chapter 15 The Eye of the Future

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ji Youguo, accompanied by Wang Yuanqing, left the Fuhrer's Mansion and headed for the Air Force Base

"The plane is ready to take off."

Ji Youguo nodded to Pan Yunsheng, who came to receive him. "Hurry up, get on the plane and talk."

The group boarded the military transport plane, which was ready, left the airbase, and flew westward.

"The base has been contacted." Pan Yunsheng handed a document to Ji Youguo, "This is the information you want." According to the regulations, a quarter of the researchers took turns on leave and went home for the Chinese New Year. ”

"Does it have an impact on scientific research?"

"Basically no impact, since last year, the number of researchers has been one-third more than the rated number."

Ji Youguo nodded and flipped through the documents in his hand.

Pan Yunsheng didn't ramble anymore, took out a cigarette, and called Wang Yuanqing aside.

For the first time in more than six years, Ji Youguo went to the National Physics Experiment Center, which is known as the "Eye of the Future of the Republic" and is located in the great northwest.

The document that Pan Yunsheng handed over to Ji Youguo was the research report on the development of the Physics Experiment Center.

Before the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War. Pan Yunsheng presided over the work of the Physics Experiment Center. Supervise the first phase of the research work. Later, he was transferred back by Ji Youguo. Continue to preside over the work of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The outside world knows. There are two studies in the first phase. That is, composite batteries and superconducting motors.

As a matter of fact. In the first stage, there is only one research achievement: metallic hydrogen catalytic generation technology.

Whether it's a composite battery. Or a superconducting motor. and even fusion nuclear power plants that are in trial operation. The core is the ability to catalyze metallic hydrogen at "normal temperature".

The so-called "normal temperature of the earth". The value is only compared to the non-catalytic situation.

Even with the use of composite catalysts, metallic hydrogen can only exist at a pressure of 150,000 atmospheres, and the maximum temperature for normal operation is 85 degrees Celsius.

The key is to act as a catalyst for "multi-state special alloys".

There are only two people in the world who know the specific composition of this alloy, namely Luo Yizu, director of the Physics Experiment Center, and Ji Xiaoji, the project leader.

According to the conclusions reached by Western countries after studying composite batteries, the "catalytic alloy" is composed of 78 elements, and the proportion of each element, the distribution of the elements, and the way the elements are combined are known only to the scientists of the republic. Because of the special proportion, distribution and combination method, it has become impossible to imitate the composite battery. In terms of the proportion of elements, the proportion of each element is between 50% and a few parts per billion, and 78 elements have hundreds of millions of collocation, and it is impossible to get the specific situation through experiments.

A catalyst that determines the future of the entire world.

Catalytically generated metallic hydrogen is set to revolutionize the world.

There is only one reason why metals are so magical: superconductivity.

As an ideal superconducting material, metallic hydrogen has the ability to store electrical energy hundreds of times that of ordinary energy storage materials, which is an ideal material for manufacturing superconducting motors. Superconductors are also supermagnets, and a small amount of electric current can form a strong magnetic field, and the key condition for a controlled fusion nuclear reaction is a super magnetic field that can confine electrons and protons.

It is not difficult to understand why composite batteries, superconducting motors, and fusion nuclear power plants were first born in the republic.

All of this comes from the "special substance" that was brought back from Africa six and a half years ago.

The first stage is "basic" research and the second stage is "applied".

According to the local plan formulated by Luo Yizu and Ji Xiaoji, the second phase of research mainly focuses on two key technologies, one is special alloys, and the other is polymer composite materials.

According to the performance, special alloys are mainly divided into high-strength alloys, wear-resistant alloys, plastic alloys and other varieties. High-strength alloys are ideal for armor, and if used to make tanks, they can not only reduce the weight of the tank by half, but also more than double the protective performance of the tank. Wear-resistant alloy is an essential material for the manufacture of electromagnetic guns, and can also be widely used in various special fields. Plastic alloys can be widely used in the aerospace field, laying the foundation for the future development of space and exploration of other planets.

Most of the local applications in the military field can be converted into industrial productivity. Take high-strength alloys as an example, in addition to being used to make armor, they can also be used in various industries such as machining, medical treatment, and construction. Wear-resistant alloys can be used to make special equipment or tools such as drills, axles, milling cutters, etc. Plastic alloys can be widely used in medical, construction, equipment manufacturing and other fields.

Polymer composite materials are also divided into many kinds, and have a wide range of application prospects in the military and civilian fields.

It can be seen that the main research projects in the second phase are closely related to national defense and industrial production.

After more than a year of hard work, the researchers of the Physics Experiment Center have achieved several very important results.

At the beginning of 20166, the first wear-resistant alloy came out, although the performance did not meet the set goals, but it found the right direction for later research. After several months of hard work, three wear-resistant alloys were born in the laboratory. The properties of the last wear-resistant alloy have reached the research target, and researchers are working on one last task: to find an industrially produced one

Law. If the research is successfully completed, the first wear-resistant electromagnetic catapults for the aircraft carrier "Republic" will be produced by industry, and will later be used to make the barrel of the republic's first orbital electromagnetic cannon.

In May 20166, the first high-strength composite material was born. The Physics Experiment Center completed the industrial production research before the end of the year and was officially put into operation at the beginning of this year. According to the plan, the first large regional aircraft with a load of 30 and a passenger capacity of 150 people developed by the Republic of China will use high-strength composite materials to manufacture the main bearing frame of the wing. In the future, high-strength composite materials will be widely used in other large aircraft and military aircraft.

The third result, the first high-strength alloy, was launched at the end of 20166. Because there are some gaps in performance from the intended target, and the industrial production process is also very complex, the Physics Experiment Center is conducting in-depth research and does not intend to put the results into industrial production, and there is not much introduction in the document.

After reading the document, Ji Youguo sighed.

"How's it going, you're more satisfied, aren't you?"

"It's going much faster than I expected." Ji Youguo put down the document, took the cigarette handed by Pan Yunsheng, and said, "In this way, there is no problem for the 'Republic' to enter service on time, and the large aircraft project that has been delayed for four years should also bear fruit." ”

"Yesterday I specifically asked about it, and the electromagnetic catapult developed for the 'Republic' began to be manufactured at the end of last month, and it will be delivered within half a year. The first regional airliner will be delivered to airlines in the second half of this year. Shangfei provided 75 additional scientific research funds to the experimental center, and asked the physics experimental center to complete the shaping design of the composite battery as soon as possible, prepare to let the first prototype aircraft test flight at the end of this year or early next year, and launch the first all-electric regional airliner to the market within two years. Twenty-four airlines have now signed contracts with Shanghai for the purchase of all-electric regional airliners, with a total order of more than 500 aircraft. More than 50 airlines have signed contracts of intent to purchase with Shangfei, and the total number of orders will exceed 1,500 aircraft. If the all-electric regional airliner can be successfully developed, within 20 years, the total production will surpass the 'Boeing 737' series and become the world's largest regional airliner." ”

"I don't have a small appetite for flying, I want to kill Boeing and Airbus with a stick."

"Regional airliners are just the beginning, and Shangfei has been calling for a higher grade of composite batteries to be put into the civilian market as soon as possible." Pan Yunsheng smiled and said, "According to the report submitted by Shangfei, if military-grade composite batteries are put into the civilian market, a large trunk passenger aircraft with a range of more than 14,000 kilometers can be developed. The all-electric mainline large passenger aircraft was put on the market, and Boeing and Airbus had a hard time. ”

"Now is not the time, until a composite battery with better performance is developed, the military model cannot be released."

"I think we should let go at least a little bit."

"What do you mean?" Ji Youguo glanced at Pan Yunsheng.

"The composite batteries used in the AIP conventional submarines we sell are better than those put on the civilian market. If military products can be sold, why can't they be used for civilian use? ”

Ji Youguo touched his chin and said, "You go back and study it carefully, figure out the situation and then make a decision." ”

"No problem, I'll give you a detailed report as soon as possible."

"You don't have to give it to me, just give it to Lao Zhao directly."

Pan Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. "Okay, just give it to Lao Zhao. I also have some military development projects there, and if you want to be interested, it's best to check them out before you leave office. ”

"Why?"

"Old Ji, you won't violate the rules you have made, right?"

This time it was Ji Youguo's turn to be stunned for a moment, and then he also shook his head with a wry smile.

As early as six and a half years ago, Ji Youguo set a rule that, with the exception of the head of state and the head of the military intelligence bureau, leaders of other countries could only access all top-secret information related to the "Yanhuang Project" with the authorization of the head of state. The development of military products based on the "Yanhuang Plan" also falls into this category.

After Ji Youguo left office, not only was he not the head of state, he was not even a national leader, so he naturally had no right to intervene.

"In this case, I will send the materials to the FΓΌhrer's Mansion when I go back, and you can take the time to take a look."

Ji Youguo nodded. "It's okay, I have a bottom in my heart before I leave office, so as not to sleep unsteadily in the future."

Pan Yunsheng smiled and shook his head. He knew that Ji Youguo didn't want to leave at all, but he had to go. After serving the country for decades, let him leave his job and go back to live an idyllic life, or he will be sick in a few days.

The plane shook slightly a few times and began to slowly lower altitude.

The destination was about to arrive, and Ji Youguo's mood calmed down.

For more than 6 years, Ji Youguo has always wanted to take a look at the Physics Experiment Center and express his condolences to those scientific researchers who have burned their youth and sacrificed themselves for the interests of the country and the nation, but he has not been able to spare time.

If Wang Yuanqing hadn't inadvertently mentioned this matter a year ago, there would have been no special itinerary today.

Damn it**

Keep asking for a monthly pass, it's the middle of the month, brothers, smash it! (To be continued)
