Scholars in the courtyard

As Zhang Guanyu narrated, Yang Xiaotao's original serious expression became strange.

Because the coefficients mentioned by Zhang Guanyu are wrong, it does not mean that those coefficients cannot be done, but that they can be replaced with better materials and go further based on the original ones.

Originally in accordance with the coefficient requirements for turbine production, the TiG01 alloy discovered by the research institute can meet the production needs.

People from the R\u0026D Department have done demonstrations on this point and think there is no problem.

Production has also begun in the workshop. If it were not for the emergence of the threshing machine, it would have entered the processing stage by now.

It was also during this time that Liu Daming and others were helping to produce the threshing machine, which gave them time to conduct in-depth research.

Then when Zhang Guanyu led people to compare the data, he discovered that the TiG01 alloy did not fully meet the turbine requirements. In other words, they could use better materials to improve the turbine requirements.

In short, it is to increase the hardness on the basis of TiG01 alloy while keeping other coefficients unchanged.

The turbine strength obtained in this way is higher than the coefficient in the original design, and the performance is also better.

This is a kind of progress.

Yang Xiaotao was also surprised when he first heard it.

You must know that these drawings are all given by the system. It stands to reason that as long as the coefficient requirements are met, there will be no problem and the AL-21 engine can be made.

This will be the absolute main engine of the league in the next 1970s, and it has been tested in practice.

And this is produced by the system, there is no problem with the coefficient.

But Zhang Guanyu actually found the problem and provided enough data to support it to prove that he was right.

Prove that he is better than the system?

No, it's not.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao came to his senses. It wasn't that the system was wrong, nor was it that Zhang Guanyu found the system's error.

It's this design that's wrong.

As Yang Xiaotao said, this is just the main engine of the alliance in the 1970s.

But what about after the 1970s?

Looking back at this engine in the 1980s, did it have many problems?

With the continuous development of technology and the prospect of scientific and technological progress, the iteration of items will become faster and faster.

And this engine will inevitably lag behind.

Zhang Guanyu's ability to discover the problem in advance can only show that he has worked hard on this research.

But this made Yang Xiaotao a little at a loss. He didn't know whether to praise him or criticize him for "causing trouble" to his comrades.

But overall, this is a good thing.

It is still something worthy of praise and worth learning by all researchers.

If everyone studies as deeply as Zhang Guanyu, then a little bit of improvement will drive overall progress.

Maybe it won't be long before the HXJ-2 engine can be produced.

"You did a good job in this matter."

"Mr. Yang!"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, looked at Zhang Guanyu's apologetic look, and said sincerely, "Don't worry, I really think you did a good job."

"The drawings I gave are just my thoughts, and there are bound to be problems in some places."

"And discovering these problems is not only responsible for the task itself and avoiding problems."

"At the same time, it is also a kind of protection for me. Do you think, if there is a problem with the design, who will bear the consequences?"

Hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Zhang Guanyu also understood that Yang Xiaotao did not mean to blame him, and he felt a little more moved.

Mr. Yang is not someone who cannot listen to different opinions.

"Mr. Yang, what about this turbine?"

Zhang Guanyu asked, pointing to the drawing.

"It goes without saying that since there are better options, why don't we use them?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the remarked coefficients on the drawing, "Tell me, what kind of materials are needed to meet this requirement?"

Zhang Guanyu took reassurance and spoke much more smoothly, "I think so, since TiG01 can meet the requirements, can we make slight changes on this basis to make it go further and meet our requirements?"

"This is a good idea, you can try it."

"Um!"

With a goal in mind, Yang Xiaotao naturally has to take action.

Picking up the phone on the table, Yang Xiaotao called the steel factory, and soon explained the situation to Lao Dao. Although he didn't know what the machine factory was going to do, researching new alloys was the responsibility of the research institute, so Lao Tao didn't ask any more questions. .

After Yang Xiaotao hung up the phone, he said to Zhang Guanyu, "Go to the research center later and tell them your needs. You may have made a mistake."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Zhang Guanyu felt relieved and was about to get up and leave.

"Yeah. Any more questions?"

"If you have anything to say, say it all at once. Maybe it can be solved in one go without having to make two trips."

Yang Xiaotao said it half-jokingly. It was meant to be polite, but he didn't want Zhang Guanyu to hear it. It was just an encouragement to him. This was what Mr. Yang said.

So, after receiving Yang Xiaotao's affirmation, Zhang Guanyu immediately became active and expressed his thoughts during this period, "By the way, Mr. Yang, I have another idea."

"Look, in this three-stage axial flow design, our first one is an air-cooled blade. I think we can add another stage and change it to a four-stage axial flow type. The first two are both air-cooled."

"Also, this air inlet is also fine."

The more Zhang Guanyu talked, the brighter his eyes became, and the more inspiration came to his mind, but the more Yang Xiaotao listened, the more helpless he felt.

"Director Zhang, let's come one by one."

"Let's get rid of the turbine first. As for the four-stage axial flow type you mentioned, we can set it as the next target."

Zhang Guanyu was interrupted by Yang Xiaotao, and then he realized that he had said too much, and hurriedly lowered his head and hummed.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao didn't want to be too offensive, so he coughed lightly and said, "What I mean is that you can learn from this research design and use your ideas for the next time."

Zhang Guanyu immediately raised his head, "Mr. Yang, are you saying that we have a next time?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded and patted Zhang Guanyu's shoulder hard, "Who said this is just for us?"

"Work hard and maybe the design used next time will be yours."

When Yang Xiaotao said these words, Zhang Guanyu immediately showed excitement, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I will definitely work hard to do a good job."

"Well, come on, I'm optimistic about you."

Seeing Zhang Guanyu leaving excitedly, Yang Xiaotao slapped his mouth hard and said, "Let you talk more, let you talk more."

Needless to say, the other party must have taken it seriously.

Thinking about the various aircraft designs that may appear in the future, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but have a headache.

He has no doubt about the other party's enthusiasm, nor does he doubt the other party's persistence.

In this day and age, there are many people who have worked hard for ten years on a problem in anonymity.

"I hope this guy doesn't just dive in and be unable to get out."

Yang Xiaotao thought to himself, then got up and walked out of the office.

As for the documents on the table, let’s wait until the afternoon.

In the first workshop, Huang Degong was yawning and holding a kettle with strong tea in it, walking in the workshop.

Obviously, I stayed up late during this period.

"Mr. Yang!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming, Huang Degong immediately rubbed his cheek and hurried over.

"Old Huang, you have to pay attention to your health."

"If you are tired, who should I ask to do the work? I can do it myself!"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and saw him like this, and couldn't help but joked.

Of course, the concern in the words is also true.

Only when his subordinates work hard and are capable can he relax and do what he likes.

"Mr. Yang, you don't understand Lao Huang. When I was in the steel rolling mill, when I encountered revolutionary tasks, I would not close my eyes for three to five days, and I would still go into battle with a hammer without delay!"

Huang Degong patted his chest in assurance, and Yang Xiaotao patted this guy's chest, "That was before, you have to accept the old age!"

Huang Degong smiled and then followed Yang Xiaotao walking around the workshop.

“Can the current production volume complete the task?”

Huang Degong nodded, "According to the current production efficiency, it will probably be completed in two days."

At this point, Huang Degong explained, "Now many workers from workshops three and four have come to help."

"The comrades are very enthusiastic and motivated, and many people are rushing to come."

"I heard that Lao Wang and the others were so anxious that they were bubbling at the mouth in order to arrange manpower."

Huang Degong smiled. Although the engine was not completed, the threshing machine was enough to feed the entire workshop.

He calculated by himself that as long as the workers in the workshop could persevere, they would earn enough in this month to cover three months of wages.

With such a high salary, you would be a fool if you didn't try your best to give it a try.

"But thanks to their help, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to produce it!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "We still need to pay attention to the physical condition of the workers. The weather is hot and we should be careful about heat stroke."

Huang Degong nodded, "The logistics department has prepared mung bean soup and some ice cube cold water. By the way, as the comrades at the medical station reminded us, we prepared some salt water..."

Yang Xiaotao listened on the sidelines and then asked about the situation in the first branch factory.

Huang Degong didn't know much about it, except that it was similar to the production output of the workshop.

Huang Degong was particularly concerned about this.

Although the first branch factory is just a branch factory, the number of people is half that of the first workshop, but that is everyone combined.

Really compared to the number of people in the workshop, his workshop is no worse than them.

And compared to the quality, the number of eighth-level workers alone is greater than that of his entire branch, let alone the average quality!

That's quite a bit higher!

What happened to the third factory last time, Huang Degong initially wanted to give it a try, but when he thought about it carefully, he, as the workshop director, was no worse than the factory director!

What's more important is that I can stay with Mr. Yang in the main factory.

These days, no matter how well you do, it's better to be with the right person.

I have followed Yang Xiaotao these years, but I have made rapid progress.

While the status is improved, the honors are also gained.

In his words, he wouldn't do it even if he was given the job of being the director of a branch factory.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know what Huang Degong was thinking, so he was still walking in the workshop, checking on the workers' production conditions from time to time.

As for the processing of parts, he can tell the quality at a glance.

Obviously, the average level of workers in the first workshop is high enough and there are no problems with the parts produced.

After walking around in a circle, I finally saw Liu Daming and others working in the corner, and then shook their heads helplessly.

This internal audit work and the production of the thresher still hindered the progress of the engine!

Many people have been transferred to work overtime. There is no one to work here, and it is useless no matter how good the design is.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao still lamented the lack of talent.

If there were a hundred more eighth-level workers, he wouldn't have to be so nervous.

Fortunately, Zhang Guanyu and the others found some work to temporarily maintain the research and development progress.

As for the issue of materials, let Zhang Guanyu discuss it with the United Star Research Institute.

If the problem can be solved quickly, then use new materials to strengthen the hardness of the turbine.

If it cannot be solved, then Yang Xiaotao will not wait forever, and TiG01 alloy is also sufficient for production.

But then again, the work of the United Star Research Institute is developing smoothly now, especially after several products have been made, which has given everyone confidence, strengthened the supplementary college students, and improved the relevant professional knowledge, so that the research and development capabilities of the United Star will be raised to a higher level again.

So this time, Yang Xiaotao has high hopes for the work of the institute.

The two were walking in the workshop, talking about production.

Xiaoqiang's secretary suddenly ran in outside, and before he came forward, he shouted, "Mr. Yang, Director Yang and Secretary Liu asked you to go to the meeting room quickly."

Seeing him like this, Yang Xiaotao knew that there was an urgent matter, so he nodded to Huang Degong and walked towards the meeting room.
