Genius of the Rules-Style System

Wangwu engine unit, chief designer's office.

Zhang Shuqing held the phone receiver in his hand and sat blankly on his chair, unable to move. It took him a long time to slowly put down the phone.

He didn't understand.

"Is Sun Lei a genius? A super genius? A supreme genius? Very innovative?"

"real or fake?"

"Is this guy calling... sarcastic? He said that Sun Lei is a genius, but is he just trying to tease me and vent?"

"But it doesn't sound like it, does it?"

Zhang Shuqing couldn't figure it out at all. He subconsciously felt that Zhao Yi was being sarcastic, but recalling the excited tone on the other end, it seemed that he really felt that he had discovered a genius. He shook his head vigorously and thought about it carefully.

"Sun Lei's level is certainly not bad, but he always makes designs that are far from reality."

"But even if Sun Lei is very innovative, he can't be discovered so quickly, right? Designing also takes time, one month, two months, even one year, two years..."

"Sun Lei has just arrived, right?"

"Could it be that Sun Lei showed Zhao Yi his previous designs and was immediately shocked by Zhao Yi..."

Zhang Shuqing suddenly remembered that a while ago, when the team was discussing compressor stability design, Sun Lei came up with a design of a bleed valve and said that the valve should be parallel to the turbine jet nozzle.

"Is it that design?"

"Zhao Yi said that they are also studying compressors, which is very possible, but that design will bring a lot of problems? Solving these problems is more complicated than redesigning a compressor..."

"correct!"

Zhang Shuqing's eyes widened suddenly, "It seems that there are no relevant professionals in Zhao Yi's team. In other words, they may not be aware of these problems. A layman will definitely think that what Sun Lei said makes sense."

"So this is ah!"

"Then Zhao Yi thought Sun Lei was a genius and adopted his design..."

"It seems..."

"Kunlun Group 2 is going to be tricked!"

Zhang Shuqing thought it was a bit funny, but when he thought about it carefully, he really regretted it. He felt that Sun Lei should not be sent there.

When the research and development of Kunlun II Group encountered problems, it wasted a lot of time and money, and finally found that Sun Lei's design could not be realized. Will Zhao Yi feel that he deliberately sent Sun Lei to influence Kunlun II? Group R\u0026D?

"How about talking to Zhao Yi?"

"But when I said Sun Lei came over, I seemed to say he was a genius."

"Now……"

Zhang Shuqing hesitated for a long time, but decided to pretend that he didn't know, and comforted himself by thinking, "Forget it, maybe it's not like this. Who knows what will happen?"

"we'll see!"

…

Zhao Yi was so satisfied with Sun Lei's design that he really regarded Sun Lei as a super genius.

Geniuses must be treated well!

Zhao Yi specially asked someone to arrange the best dormitory for Sun Lei, quickly let him join the Kunlun Team 2, and also decided to give Sun Lei a certain business trip allowance.

That's all that can be done.

Although Sun Lei came to join the Kunlun Group 2 to do engine research and development, the Kunlun Group 2 is not a fixed unit. It is similar to the Wangwu Engine Group. It is a "temporary R\u0026D team". The internal R\u0026D personnel did not jump here. , they still belong to the original unit.

For example, Li Rongmao and Zhang Hongtao are still researchers in their original laboratories and universities.

The same goes for Yuan Haitao and others.

Sun Lei is an associate researcher at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering under the Academy of Sciences. The Wangwu Engine Group, including the Kunlun Group 2, is a transfer of R\u0026D work. He still receives the salary and benefits from his original unit. The Kunlun Group 2 cannot let him join. At most, they can only provide some work subsidy.

Of course.

If there are significant contributions during the research and development process, the Kunlun Group 2 also has the right to report it. Depending on the scientific research contribution, superiors will also give personal bonuses, benefits and other improvements.

It's still early.

…

Sun Lei felt Zhao Yi's enthusiasm and knew that Zhao Yi was very excited about his design. At the same time, he was very surprised because even he was not optimistic about his design.

Although he talked about the design with certainty, he was immediately dismissed when he was working on the Wangwu engine unit, which made him feel a little underappreciated, but he himself also knew the problem.

There is no problem with the general direction of the design, but just like other people’s comments, his design seems too ‘ahead of the times’ and a lot of problems will arise midway.

The combination of these problems is even more complicated than redesigning a compressor.

Now when I talk about my design to Zhao Yi, I just want to demonstrate my ability, not to really let the Kunlun Team 2 actually adopt it.

When he discovered that Zhao Yi was very interested in the design and even felt that it would be adopted soon, Sun Lei began to worry.

If you follow this design, a lot of problems will definitely arise, so the next step is to solve these problems.

solve?

How to deal with it?

There are so many R\u0026D personnel in the Wangwu engine unit, and they all feel that they cannot solve it when they look at their own designs. The Kunlun II group does not even have relevant personnel. It is extremely difficult to solve them all, and it is simply impossible.

"or……"

"Wait until tomorrow to talk to Academician Zhao. Tell him directly about the problems in the design and ask him to think about it again?"

Sun Lei thought.

At the same time, Zhao Yi returned to the dormitory and had already begun to solve the problem.

He asked Sun Lei for the original design, reviewed it from beginning to end, and compared it with Sun Lei's simple explanation, he almost understood it. Then he continued to use the "Law of Supervision" to find problems in the design.

In addition, you should also use the "Relevance Ratio" to find out the areas in the design that affect the compressor, turbine and other components, and make appropriate corrections or identify the problems one by one.

This is a large area to find.

Just listing all the issues is a very complicated matter.

Zhao Yi is very patient. Compared with the complex mathematical arguments, the content in front of him is much simpler. Some small problems are just record-keeping. The combined use of "Contact Rate" and "Supervision Law" can solve the problem immediately. , he took notes and wrote out solutions.

But there are still more than 30 problems for which correction plans cannot be directly obtained using causal thinking.

Zhao Yi just records the problem, and also judges the difficulty of the problem based on the energy consumed by using the ability and other methods. Those who can get the conditions can be solved, but the energy consumed is too high.

These can all be argued with Sun Lei.

There are several other problems, which must be related to the operation of other components, and solutions can be considered later.

That night, Zhao Yi was busy until three o'clock in the morning, then he lay down on the bed and fell asleep. He got up again the next morning, went to the power engineering laboratory, and took Sun Lei to start relevant demonstrations.

Sun Lei came to work on his first day.

He originally thought that he came here to get familiar with the environment and get to know other people, but he didn't expect to be directly dragged by Zhao Yi to study the design. Thinking of his design problems, he felt a little guilty, and a thought kept lingering in his mind, "Should I work with him?" Academician Zhao said it clearly?"

"There are so many problems in the design, maybe Academician Zhao is not aware of it? That's right, he has a specialization in the industry, and he has never made a compressor. The stability solution is what I said yesterday..."

Sun Lei followed Zhao Yi to the small conference room with mixed emotions, and they sat at the table in front.

Zhao Yi took out a document and handed it over.

Sun Lei took it over doubtfully. Before he could open it and read it, Zhao Yi handed over another document, which was exactly the design plan that was passed yesterday.

"You take a look at it first." Zhao Yi said.

"good."

Sun Lei compared the two documents and looked at them. The expression on his face quickly changed from confused to shocked. He started by looking at the first page, and then quickly turned to the second and third pages...

He flipped through more than a dozen pages in one go, looked at the question labels in the front row, and randomly found one to look at carefully.

Finally, Sun Lei couldn't help but raised his head and looked at Zhao Yi with surprise, "This... Academician Zhao... was all written by you?"

"yes?"

Zhao Yi nodded doubtfully.

"real?"

"yes?"

Sun Lei and Zhao Yi looked at each other for a long time. He took a deep breath and said, "Academician Zhao, you not only thought of the problem, but also wrote many solutions. These, these..."

He didn't know how to express it for a moment.

Zhao Yi said very calmly, "You take a look first. I don't know whether it is correct or not. There are still some issues that I haven't thought about yet. We still need to discuss them together."

"……good!"

Sun Lei was really shocked. He couldn't believe that Zhao Yi came up with so many things in just one night after looking at the design. He found problems and also thought of solutions at the same time. The work efficiency was unimaginable. !

He thought with a wry smile, "I'm so stupid to think that Academician Zhao doesn't understand, and I'm the only one who doesn't understand!"

"At Academician Zhao's level, it is easy for him to design a plan by himself. He probably hired a professional just as a reference."

"Huh~~~"

Sun Lei breathed hard to adjust his mentality, and then began to look carefully.

Zhao Yi sat aside and watched quietly. He suddenly realized that his demands on other people were a bit high. What he made in one night would be good if Sun Lei could finish it in one day.

"Forget it, let's go see something else first."

He shook his head and said to Sun Lei, "You should eat this thing in the next two days and read it from beginning to end. Don't worry about understanding the small problems that have been solved. Focus on the unsolved ones." , what are the specific ideas for the image..."

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he walked away.

Sun Lei agreed and began to look carefully.

…

time flies.

For two consecutive weeks, Zhao Yi has been discussing design issues with Sun Lei. Sun Lei's basic level is indeed very good, and he can understand everything related to it.

He could name several types of compressor bleed valve designs alone.

Sun Lei's rich professional knowledge helped Zhao Yi a lot. They discussed the unresolved problems together and quickly solved most of them, leaving only two very difficult ones.

One is that the deflation pipe is too long.

If the air outlet of the bleed valve is placed side by side with the turbine jet, a long and narrow pipe will be needed. The biggest impact of a too long pipe is to use more material for the outer layer of the engine.

That would definitely add weight to the engine.

This is fatal.

One of the important indicators of an aeroengine is the so-called 'thrust-to-weight ratio', which refers to the ratio of the maximum thrust to the weight of the engine. The thrust-to-weight ratio of a general turbofan engine will exceed 7. The thrust-to-weight ratio of the Kunlun engine is between 7.5 and 8. The thrust-to-weight ratio of the world's top engines exceeds 10.

If the weight of the engine increases, if you want to increase the thrust-to-weight ratio, you must increase the maximum thrust. If you give up the high-pressure air released by the valve, the thrust that can be generated will be difficult to make up for the increased weight.

Another problem is the design of the piston.

This is a very complex problem, but a simple design will definitely cause serious wear and tear on the piston, which may cause problems during use. In addition, it is also very difficult to understand the technical difficulty of continuous small pistons.

In Sun Lei's original design, there was no detailed design of the piston.

Material experts will also need to be consulted in this regard.

Zhao Yi immediately called Li Rongmao and Zhang Hongtao. In order to get more ideas, he called the entire crew over and worked together to think of solutions.

Others are not professionals and can only speak based on imagination, but laymen's thinking is not limited and may have better ideas.

It was Zhou Qing who made the meritorious service this time.

Zhou Qing didn’t understand the piston principle or the complex material issues. He came up with a very wonderful idea, designing the piston to be something like a squeezed sponge. “If the pressure is too high, the sponge will definitely be pushed up.” , when you hold it up to a certain extent, the air can rush through."

"Otherwise, you can't get out!"

This idea was immediately rejected by materials experts.

Zhang Hongtao said with great certainty, "There is no such material. As long as it can be held up by pressure, it must be breathable. Otherwise, it is equivalent to a balloon, which is not breathable. Once breathable, it will burst."

"If anything, this type of piston would be on the market."

Zhou Qing muttered in a low voice, "I'm just expressing my thoughts. Academician Zhao said you can express your opinions freely..."

Zhao Yi did not deny it directly, but frowned. He felt that Zhou Qing's idea was very novel. It was indeed not supported in terms of materials, but it could be designed more complexly, such as making the piston part porous and adding rubber inside. , resin materials, when the pressure is too high, the extruded rubber and resin will move in the holes, exposing the passage to the exhaust port.

When the pressure is insufficient, the rubber and resin will return to their original positions under the pressure from the other side.

This design can connect different stages of the compressor together with small holes, but the middle must be blocked and blocked by rubber and resin materials, because the pressure on both sides is different. When the difference is too large, the rubber and resin The class material will change position.

For example, when the small hole channel is uniform, the pressure on the left side is 10Kpa (pa, pressure unit) and on the right side is 20Kpa, and the difference is 10Kpa.

The material in the middle of the hole will change position and reveal a channel leading to the exhaust port on one side.

The left side is 2Kpa and the right side is 7Kpa. The difference is only 5Kpa. The material in the middle will also change its position, but it is not enough to expose the passage to the exhaust outlet.

For this kind of small hole design, one is definitely not enough. Maybe a dozen are needed to release and discharge the high-pressure gas.

Of course, it still depends on the width of the hole.

Zhao Yi thought for a long time and suddenly said, "I think Zhou Qing's idea is okay. We can design it like this..."

He simply stated his thoughts.

Everyone listened carefully, and the more they listened, the more surprised they became. Sun Lei opened his mouth in shock and couldn't help shouting, "Academician Zhao, you are such a genius!"

Others followed suit and said, "This design is absolutely amazing!"

"Are you referring to Zhou Qing's idea? Why do I feel completely different? Is there any relationship between the two?"

"This piston design is really high-tech, and it happens to be used in compressors..."

"Academician Zhao is indeed Academician Zhao!"

"Let the other engine crews hear your thoughts and I think they'll be shocked!"

"..."

Amidst a lot of compliments, Zhao Yi smiled calmly.

In fact, sometimes, he really wants to keep a low profile, and acts too talented to be separated from the masses.

But, there is no way!

You are born smart, what can you do?
