Genius of the Rules-Style System

Aviation Group and ST Country have concluded an engine purchase agreement worth US$1 billion, which is definitely an unprecedented event in China.

A US$1 billion agreement may not sound like much, but in fact, it is a big deal in the international market.

For the Kunlun II engine, the benefits are very considerable.

The Kunlun II engine has been developed with less than 20 million U.S. dollars invested so far. It can be said to have almost no cost. It can be recouped by selling a few units. The unit price is still very high, 21 million U.S. dollars. Compared with M country The price of the top engine F135 is still a bit lower, but it is already very high.

From a purely commercial perspective, it can be said that it has made a lot of money, and it has even earned back the research and development expenses of the Kunlun engine.

The development of the Kunlun engine took a long time, but the total investment did not exceed US$500 million.

Of course, the purchase of aircraft engines can be said to be military orders. It cannot be considered purely from a commercial perspective, but other things must also be considered.

For example, technical issues.

WZ-A2 is a 'downgraded' version of Zhao Yi's engine design. Many of the 'black technologies' in the design have been abandoned and replaced with a traditional and understandable design. It can be said that WZ-A2 is the domestic aviation The engine inherits the design technology of the former SU-Lian and is the pinnacle of independent research and development.

Even with the higher-end WZ-A1 engine, the pinnacle of original technology cannot be easily given to people.

ST Country has completed the first step of cooperation and purchased 50 WZ-A2 engines. The next step is definitely to hope for in-depth cooperation. It is hoped that the manufacturing location can be placed in ST Country and both parties will cooperate in manufacturing.

The advantage of this is that if you can learn technology, it is possible to learn how to manufacture engines, and at best, it can improve the relevant technology of your country.

However, from a domestic perspective, the consideration must be to limit the manufacturing location to China and prevent ST from learning technology.

Of course.

If the ST country is really willing to bleed money and sign a huge military purchase order, it is not impossible to consider allowing them to take advantage of some manufacturing technology. After all, they already have the WZ-A1 engine. If the WZ-A2 engine is spread, the impact will not be very big. big.

In addition, the cost that needs to be considered is Zhao Yi's own ability.

The R\u0026D cost of the WZ-A2 engine is low, mainly because it is designed by Zhao Yi. There will definitely be more investment to improve it in the future, but the starting point of the engine is already very high.

Therefore, at the internal celebration meeting, senior leaders expressed their affirmation and admiration for Zhao Yi by name, and the aviation group also stated that the agreed funds would be 10 million to support the War Eagle Group.

This ten million is not funds and can be used freely.

Zhao Yi expressed his gratitude on the spot.

He doesn't care about money at all. Ten million is nothing to him, but the other people in the War Eagle Group are different. They are just ordinary scientific researchers, but they don't have such a rich family. They can go back with their bonuses and share one point. , which will probably also make the people in the War Eagle group more motivated to devote themselves to their work.

The internal celebration not only celebrated, but also determined the future export direction.

Liu Jiankun made a report, saying that he would speed up the research and development of WZ-A2 and analyze the future export direction.

WZ-A2 is the main export model, and the more it sells, the better.

The aviation group's plan is to sell at least 400 units, and the ST country will definitely help digest some of them. Others need to win orders from Eastern Europe, South America, Central Asia and the most important Middle East.

"If we can sell more than 500 units, the profit will become very considerable."

"When the technology is perfected, the cost of production will be greatly reduced. Based on the current situation in the international aviation field, the Kunlun II engine will be enough to support exports in the next twenty years."

"..."

Zhao Yi attended the celebration and kept a very low profile throughout. He only stood up and said a few words when the senior leaders called his name. The rest of the time, he was just a spectator.

There were many topics at the celebration, such as J-40 and WZ-A2 engine, which were all directly related to Zhao Yi.

However, Zhao Yi didn't have too many feelings because nothing was unexpected.

The most shocking thing is the appearance of the J-40. The Kunlun II engine is only included, but the performance of the J-40 is also very normal. During the first test flight, the J-40 can complete these actions. However, Liu Jiankun was worried about danger, so he did not conduct performance testing.

When everything is expected, there's nothing to get excited about.

Zhao Yi attended the celebration calmly and returned by plane with senior leaders.

halfway.

The senior leader also asked strangely, "Academician Zhao, why do I feel that you are not excited at all? Excited? J-40 is your hard work."

Zhao Yidao said, "If there is a real-life demonstration, I would still be interested. It would just be flying, and there would be no improvement compared to the test flight."

"..."

When the senior leader thought about it carefully, it was true. The news he got was that the War Eagle-1 only had equipment installed, and there was no change in the original design.

Is this a reason not to be excited?

He didn't understand.

Zhao Yidao, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it would be even more amazing if anti-gravity was exposed, right?"

The senior leader nodded vigorously. He suddenly understood why Zhao Yi was not excited. Anti-gravity had been researched and several experiments had been conducted. What was the big deal about the design of a fighter jet?

No matter how high-end the design of a fighter jet is, can it still be stronger than anti-gravity?

If anti-gravity technology is exposed, public opinion will not be what it is now, and the world will be in an uproar, because everyone will know that science and technology will usher in a qualitative breakthrough, and people's lives will undergo major changes.

In addition, there will be a big shock in the world, and anti-gravity technology may be replaced by nuclear technology, which will have a greater impact.

What Zhao Yi cares about is indeed anti-gravity, but what he cares about is not technology, but principles. Theoretical research is the root of everything.

After the emergence of photon antigravity, theoretical research on space and particles will definitely achieve explosive breakthroughs.

The higher-ups know this too.

Therefore, we give absolute support to theoretical research on space. Not only do experiments and funding are fully supported, but also the personnel involved in the research have also gone through very strict screening, and the theoretical technology is kept confidential at the highest level.

Zhao Yi's theoretical research and development team now has five people, including Ruan Wenye, Huang Zhong, Zhang Qican, and Professor Yan Zhiping of the Institute of High Energy.

Yan Zhiping is new to the game.

Ruan Wenye, Huang Zhong, and Yan Zhiping are all top scholars in particle mathematics research in China. They cannot be said to be the top. However, compared with academicians in mathematics and physics from other academies of sciences, they have one thing in common, that is, they are not older.

Although it is not the golden age for doing research and development, being under fifty is just a decline from the peak, and experience is enough to make up for the gap in inspiration.

Zhao Yi really needs experienced and energetic helpers. If he is younger, Zhang Qican will be enough, because he will guide the ideas and directions of the research and arrange the work.

Research continues.

When Yan Zhiping reported on the research progress that day, he came up with an interesting idea. When all the technical staff at High Energy were discussing anti-gravity, they talked about placing anti-gravity devices under the sea.

When there is an anti-gravity device under the sea, the gravity of the seawater above will be reduced, and the surrounding seawater will press on the middle. Just like an upward airflow will be formed on land, the seawater will also spray upward.

Then build a power station on it that uses the power of seawater jets. After the jetted seawater hits the motor, it will be scattered and fall, seemingly forming an eternal generator.

When this idea was proposed, several people from the Institute of High Energy participated in the discussion.

Yan Zhiping also followed the argument, and the final result was that it was impossible, but he still told Zhao Yi the matter.

Zhao Yi chuckled and shook his head.

Of course it's impossible.

It is impossible for an engine formed by seawater jet force to drive the anti-gravity device. If the seawater is scattered in the air, some of it will definitely stay and continue to rise under the driving force, and eventually a pillar composed of seawater will definitely be formed.

In addition, it is technically impossible. As long as it is above the anti-gravity device, it will definitely be affected by anti-gravity. The generator set cannot be pushed by the jet force. It is impossible to generate electricity to supply the anti-gravity device just by relying on the effect of anti-gravity. .

Even anti-gravity technology cannot create a device that generates electricity permanently.

After Zhao Yi heard the idea, he had a physical discussion with Yan Zhiping. After the end, he suddenly thought of a question -

What does the anti-gravity effect, or in other words, space obstruction consume?

Among the basic physical laws currently understood, energy conservation is the principle of the universe, but space is not included in the category of the four forces. Space obstruction is a field created by the specific movement of high-energy photons. However, it is certain that during the anti-gravity experiment, It can be easily found that the energy of high-energy photons is not completely converted into heat, and a large part is lost.

This problem was not noticed at first because there was no relevant energy detection. After the complex data was reported later, the relevant personnel made detailed calculations and found that part of the energy may have disappeared during the experimental process.

'Highly possible' is a kind of calculation and guess, not a definite thing, because the outer layer of the anti-gravity device is exposed to the air, and there is no device to completely block heat. It is impossible to calculate how much heat is dissipated in the in the air.

No one else cares yet, but Zhao Yi is very sure.

After listening to Yan Zhiping's thoughts, he thought about this issue again, and suddenly felt that he could dig deeper.

The energy of photons disappears out of thin air, which is no longer consistent with the conservation of energy.

So where does the energy go?

"Does the space barrier itself also consume energy?"

"Or it can be understood that only by consuming energy to resist space extrusion can the space blocking effect occur..."

"From this perspective, space itself can also be understood as a kind of energy..."

Zhao Yi thought carefully.

It’s really hard to imagine how to understand space specifically. It can be understood as energy, or it can be understood as ‘sea water’ or ‘air’. The existence itself has ‘pressure’.

Zhao Yi thought about it for a long time without any results, so he simply told several people in the group his thoughts and asked them to think about it together.

The way of understanding space is very important, and it may be able to find new directions for the next step of research.

…

It still takes time and inspiration to come up with results in theoretical research on space.

Zhao Yi just does research casually. It would be best if there is progress. If there is no progress, don't worry. Theoretical research is a long-term thing after all.

That day he went to the medical center.

In the laboratory, he paid attention to several projects he was working on. Dr. Shen Qian happened to be there, so he took a look at Shen Qian's experiments on cancer cell research.

Recently, Shen Qian has been working very hard on research. She found that research was different from what she imagined and there was no pressure at all.

Because... Zhao Yi doesn't even come!

The project itself is a cooperative research and development. The funding of 300,000 yuan is not much, and it is not easy to come up with the results. Shen Qian takes the research very seriously and hopes that Zhao Yi can give some suggestions.

But Zhao Yi didn't come to the laboratory. She could only smile bitterly and conduct research according to her own ideas. It was quite easy. Just as she imagined, the experiment made no progress.

Now Zhao Yi is here.

Shen Qian also became more serious in doing experiments because she felt the pressure.

Although Zhao Yi didn't ask for anything in particular, it felt completely different to have a top boss watching next to him.

Shen Qian conducted detailed tests on the cancer cell samples, designed several related small experiments, and carefully observed the cells under an ultra-high-power microscope.

Then, nothing was found.

After she finished the experiment, she said to Zhao Yi with a wry smile, "There has been no progress, no discovery. I think the research can be stopped."

"Many laboratories have done this kind of research, but almost no meaningful findings have been made."

"Hey~~"

She finished speaking and sighed.

Zhao Yi said seriously, "You are wrong, there are already results."

"Ah?" Shen Qian was stunned.

"It's paying off."

Zhao Yi nodded affirmatively, walked to the experimental table, and began to give instructions, "Put the sample just now under the microscope, put it at the maximum magnification, and take a few more pictures."

"The previous sample did the same thing."

"Also, study the detection proteins of cancer cells in detail and compare them with ordinary cells."

He handed over several tasks in succession.

Shen Qian listened in confusion, but still recorded all her work.

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he left the laboratory. He believed that Shen Qian would have no problem doing this and would just wait for the results to be analyzed.

After Zhao Yi left, Shen Qian went to the main laboratory during her break and talked about what had just happened with Li Ming, Ai Lixin and others. She smiled bitterly and said, "I don't even know why he asked him to do this. I have no idea at all. Anyway, I’ll just do it. I estimate that this project really won’t make any progress.”

Ai Lixin's reaction was unexpected. He asked in surprise, "Did Zhao Yi really say that?"

"yes?"

"Tell you in detail, how to conduct the experiment? What should be recorded?"

"right."

Shen Qian was a little surprised at Ai Lixin's reaction.

Li Ming gave a thumbs up, nodded and said, "Congratulations, Doctor Shen, you are about to achieve great results!"

"ah?"

Ai Lixin also nodded, "I believe Zhao Yi is right. This is our experience, and based on our understanding of him... this time, it is amazing!"

"Why……"

Shen Qian's mind was filled with questions. She had no idea what the meaning of the work Zhao Yi explained was. Why did she say that big results were coming soon when she got here? And it was Ai Lixin and Li Ming who said it together.

Obviously.

She doesn't know Zhao Yi yet.

When Zhang Wei and Zhu Qi entered the main laboratory and heard about this incident, they had the same reaction as Ai Lixin and Li Ming.

"It's awesome this time!"

"Cancer research, if there is a result, it will be world-class!"

"Dr. Shen, congratulations in advance!"

"Just trust Zhao Yi. You will have world-class medical research results soon."

"Do not worry!"

"I heard Zhao Yi is right, I really envy you..."
