Great Power Technology
Chapter 304 Smell the danger in advance
June 16, Chengdu.
After Ye Zhou and Chen Hao handed over the gene editor and genetic map to the relevant departments through the General Technical Office, he received a call from Feng Fei.
On the phone, the person in charge of Liming Aviation confirmed that the Qilian-02 engine passed the high-altitude test and completed its first test flight.
The test aircraft is a C959 large civil airliner, equipped with two Qilian-02 engines, with a maximum take-off weight of 327 tons and a maximum range of 24,000 kilometers. Compared with the Boeing 787-8, its overall performance is improved by more than 50%.
But this does not mean that this large aircraft can be commercialized immediately. To be truly applied, it still faces a relatively long safety testing phase.
However, from a performance perspective alone, this C959 has broken many records for the world's largest aircraft.
In addition to the civilian field, the Qilian-03 modified engine will also be used on the new model Yun-20. Everyone is eager to see what changes this engine with a peak thrust of 130 tons will bring to the Yun-20. Hope.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao on the side asked:
"Is this the news from Feng Fei?"
"Yes, we are talking about the Qilian engine. The high-altitude test run has been completed and the flight test has been initially completed. Mr. Tian Ye can rest assured."
Chen Hao nodded and said after a moment of silence:
"From the official test run of the Qilian engine to now, most of the technologies have been basically understood. Next, we may begin to usher in a stage of explosive development of aircraft, including next-generation air superiority fighters, strategic bombers, transport aircraft, and civilian passenger aircraft. There has been some development.”
"You are in Shufei every day now. You should know better than me about their research and development progress. As far as I know, the WS-25 is coming out soon, right?"
"Well, I guess there are still a few days before the ground test phase begins."
"So fast??"
Chen Hao's eyes widened in surprise.
The work of aviation development is not under the control of the Chief Technical Office, so he does not pay too much attention to it - there is enough work in the Chief Technical Office now, and he really can't separate it out. energy.
"It's not too fast. It's been three months since the last version of the WS-15 was modified. Coupled with Xiong Da's technical support, a new model in three months is not a particularly bizarre thing. "
"But what I'm worried about now is not the development issue, I'm more worried about the application scenarios of this engine."
"We have just replaced some of the J-20s currently in service with the WS-15 modification. If there is no problem with the WS-25 modification, whether to equip the current model first or equip it to the next version of the model is a big question. .”
"Nowadays, aviation development is iterating too fast. Often one product has just matured and the next one pops up. Generally speaking, resources are consumed a lot. The practicality is not bad, but it is not optimal. Cost-effectiveness.”
Chen Hao nodded in agreement, took out a bottle of water from the small refrigerator in the car and handed it to Ye Zhou, and then replied:
"This is normal. Our silicon-sulfur battery project is also facing this problem now - it is not good for the technology to be too advanced. Every time we understand a part, a product will be born, and this product will be released. One version quickly becomes obsolete.”
"The most important thing is that until we fully understand the technology, we have no idea whether the product on hand can represent the full potential of the technology."
"So, in such a process, it is normal for there to be waste."
"You don't need to think too much about this matter. Think about it from another way: what we call 'waste' actually refers to the failure to achieve the highest efficiency. To illustrate with a very simple example, after buying a stock Instead of waiting for the highest point to sell, we kept selling on the way up.”
“There are pros and cons to this strategy, but if you want to reasonably control risk, it’s definitely the best option.”
Hearing Chen Hao's words, Ye Zhou sighed and replied:
"I know this is the case, but people's hearts are not as strong as snakes swallowing elephants. I definitely hope to achieve the best results in one step."
"Then you might as well hope that we can build the Luanniao Platform tomorrow."
Chen Hao said with a slightly teasing tone.
"I really hope so"
Ye Zhou smiled and suddenly thought of something. He looked at Chen Hao and continued to ask:
"How is the nuclear engine project going?"
"It's still under testing. We are currently trying to integrate the thorium-based molten salt miniaturization technology you provided before. The results are expected to be produced within two or three months. At that time, it will be tested on small aircraft first - most likely it will be bombarded. Tested on -6 platform.”
"When the flight is stable, the next iterative update will be carried out, and finally it will be tested with the fuselage plan that Shufei is currently doing. This process is relatively long, and the time is calculated in years."
"In three years, can we build a mature prototype? I mean the engine part."
"It's definitely no problem - judging from the current progress, the first-generation Golden Crow will be ready to take off in 5 to 6 years."
Hearing this, Ye Zhou felt a little surprised.
According to his estimate of the Nantianmen project, even if the Jinwu project is fully sprinted, under the current technical level and manufacturing level, it will take at least 10 years to complete the first Jinwu test flight. However, the information given by Chen Hao is Much faster than he expected.
After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Is it progressing so quickly because of Maozi's intervention?"
Chen Hao nodded and replied:
"Yes. The design concept of Jinwu itself is very similar to the Tu-160, including variable wings, including hypersonic cruise capabilities, and the overall aerodynamic design. In fact, there are places that can be referenced, so in their technology With the support, the time we spend reading documents has been greatly reduced.”
"Maozi is really good in this area, especially those experts in the field of applied mathematics. They made the right choice when they agreed to allow Xiong University to participate in the project."
"It's really not a loss. But we still have to keep it a secret. I don't want to see them test flying the Golden Crow before us."
"Don't worry, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen."
Chen Hao replied firmly.
Ye Zhou looked at his face, sighed deeply, and turned his head silently.
As Chen Hao said, a product explosion is about to occur in the domestic aviation field, especially the military aviation field, and it is impossible to completely conceal this product explosion.
This kind of information, coupled with the previous electromagnetic gun of the Navy, the soon-to-be-entered No. 003, and XAC's next-generation early warning aircraft, all new technologies and new equipment combined will have a huge impact on the country's global military hegemony. , and this impact is likely to shake their position as the number one.
Kissinger once said that whoever controls oil controls all countries; whoever controls currency controls the world; and whoever controls food controls all mankind.
But now, he said that two of the three basic elements he proposed have almost completed the change of hands, and the military status as a guarantee is also in jeopardy, so
A bright light suddenly flashed in Ye Zhou's mind.
The genius of the decision-maker came into effect again, and he was keenly aware of the crux of the problem.
Now, only the food field is left, and the other party still has an absolute advantage.
So in this case, the opponent will never let go of the opportunity to use this advantage to make a complete comeback.
The next wave of conflicts is likely to occur in the food field!
Thinking of this, Ye Zhou looked at Chen Hao again and said seriously:
"Isn't there going to be a meeting tomorrow to discuss the application layout of the three routes? I request to add a new topic and add food security to the influencing conditions of genetic engineering!"
Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately realized the danger involved.
Yes, affected by many factors, international grain prices have begun to rise. Just yesterday, wheat futures prices rose by 2%.
Something is wrong with this momentum.
He frowned and asked:
"Do you think the other party might use the price of food to make a fuss?"
"I don't think so, but it's inevitable! They will definitely make a fuss about the price of food, and their first move is likely to be in Yin City!"
"Yindu's wheat production has increased for three consecutive years. If the operation is launched at this time, the other party is likely to gradually eat away at the entire Yindu grain market."
"You have to know that Yindu has no grain reserves - if this momentum is allowed to develop, our opponents will definitely use Yindu as a springboard to attack us!"
"We must be prepared in advance, otherwise it will be too late if we wait until the attack starts!"
Chen Hao nodded slightly, then took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the Chief Technical Office.
After the call was connected, he said in a steady and low tone:
"There will be a new topic in tomorrow's meeting, about food security."
"Yes, that's right, urgently invite relevant contacts and let them participate in the meeting in stages!"
"Yes, including China Grain! Tell them that no matter what the reason is, I must see their top decision-maker present at the meeting tomorrow morning!"
"If someone doesn't accept it, go to their branch organization and the person named Liu Zhengyu and tell him that this is Suiren's request!"
Today is still the weekly supplementary sleep time. I will update one chapter first and finish the rest before 12 o'clock.
