The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 127 It’s a chicken and a egg

Zhao Chengang, a tall, thin man with a dark face and the director of Ji Province Chemical Fiber Factory, rushed the most resolutely. Before Zhao Bingkun could finish his words, he was already in front of him.

"Director Zhao, leave this task to us!"

"We in Jilin Province have a long history of chemical fiber and strong strength. We guarantee to complete the mass production tasks on time."

Wang Yiding, the director of Chang'an Chemical Fiber Factory, who was short in stature, came in front of Zhang Zhipeng.

"Comrade Zhipeng, we are closer to the water, first come first, and we are all from Chang'an. Of course, this good thing must be left to Chang'an Chemical Fiber, right?"

"We at Changan Chemical Fiber are unequivocal and will definitely cooperate with you. We will do whatever you ask!"

For a time, the directors of several chemical fiber factories fought together.

Everyone knows that this is definitely a good thing.

How can anyone working in a chemical fiber factory not know about carbon fiber?

Now the domestic market demand is also very strong.

The foreign market is even bigger.

Moreover, the price of carbon fiber is very high and the added value of profit is large.

If it is done well, the factory that was originally half-dead will suddenly take off.

Therefore, everyone is very active and enthusiastic.

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "Yeah! I just like everyone to be proactive in accepting tasks!"

"As for carbon fiber, the demand is really big. We import hundreds of millions of dollars of goods every year, but we haven't dared to open up imports yet because we don't have that much foreign exchange."

"Moreover, the high-grade carbon fiber we need is still not sold to us!"

"I discussed it with Comrade Zhipeng, and we feel that we should open up a few more factories in China to produce this carbon fiber!"

"Strive to not only meet domestic demand, but also export to earn foreign exchange!"

"So, don't rob your factories."

"You can all get production authorization."

"The process flow summarized by Comrade Zhipeng will also be shared with you!"

"Look, everyone, is this okay?"

Zhao Bingkun's words made Zhao Chengang breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Chengang was a little worried.

Because if Zhang Zhipeng and Zhao Bingkun really choose to cooperate with one or two companies, Ji Province Chemical Fiber may not be chosen.

After all, they are too far away from Chang'an.

The production of this carbon fiber is to cooperate with Zhang Zhipeng's research.

"Thank you, Director Zhao, thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

"It goes without saying, we all support the leader's arrangement with our hands raised!"

Zhao Chengang said loudly with a smile.

Later, Zhang Zhipeng began to share a complete set of process flow drawings.

These drawings even include process manufacturing drawings for the production of supporting machines.

After taking this complete set of drawings, you can figure out the investment implementation on your own when you go back.

Zhang Zhipeng had several copies made and dismissed all the factory directors.

After Wang Yiding, the director of Chang'an Chemical Fiber Factory, received the drawings, he smiled and said to Zhang Zhipeng: "Comrade Zhipeng, where are all the equipment in this test workshop processed?"

"We also want to process a few sets."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled slightly and said: "I will give you the contact information, and you can contact me yourself."

Zhang Zhipeng gave Wang Yiding the paging number and office phone number of Lin Zijian, director of Factory 618.

Zhang Zhipeng thought to himself, this can be regarded as helping Lin Zijian get some new business.

When the directors of several other factories saw that Wang Yiding asked for the phone number of the company that processes and produces equipment, they also came over to ask for it.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Brothers, the manufacturing drawings of these equipment are all in the set of drawings given to you!"

"In fact, you can go back to the local machinery factory for processing and production, and there will be no problem at all."

Zhao Chengang quickly turned out the drawings and looked at them.

He found that it was indeed as Zhang Zhipeng said: the equipment had detailed drawings.

If it is built locally, the cost should be lower.

However, Zhao Chengang is still a little confused: If the equipment is not processed in the place designated by Zhang Zhipeng, will there be any negative consequences in the future, such as: Zhang Zhipeng will not provide technical support or something?

"Comrade Zhipeng, how about we hand over all our equipment to you to help us with production and processing? You tell us how much it costs, and we can just settle the bill then!" Zhao Chengang tried with a complacent smile.

Zhang Zhipeng waved his hand and said, "Don't do this! I think it's too much trouble."

"Don't have any bad thoughts."

"I don't mean what you think."

"What I actually hope now is that you can enter the mass production stage as soon as possible!"

"As for how you speed up the pace, I don't care about that."

Zhao Bingkun laughed and said: "Chen Gang, Comrade Zhipeng has never thought of taking your kickback! Just take the drawings and process them locally."

Zhao Chengang said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't mean that either..."

"I just think it may be more reliable to process and produce equipment in the place designated by Comrade Zhipeng."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "There are no technical difficulties in those production equipment and they are very easy to produce."

"Director Zhao, just find a factory in your Ji Province to process it."

"I hope everyone can mass-produce carbon fiber within half a year and strive to drive down the price of carbon fiber, haha!"

In this way, the mass production task of carbon fiber was broken down and handed over to five chemical fiber factories.

Carbon fiber is the most important component material in the production of Wuzhen 7.

If this problem can be solved, then most of the technical difficulties in developing No Detective 7 can be considered solved.

Zhang Zhipeng then began to develop a new aircraft engine.

To develop this brand-new aircraft engine, he also established a research team and still brought Zheng Jingzhi in.

Zheng Jingzhi actually has scientific research projects on his hands now.

However, his scientific research projects are not that important in comparison.

Moreover, the project cycle is also long.

Zhang Zhipeng is also a member of Zheng Jingzhi's scientific research project, and he has also helped the teacher a lot.

Zheng Jingzhi readily accepted Zhang Zhipeng's invitation.

Because he is happy to help his best students do something.

Zheng Jingzhi joins Zhang Zhipeng's team, and the master's and doctoral students he trained will also join.

In fact, all the teachers and students in the Aircraft Engineering Department are willing to work with Zhang Zhipeng.

Because Zhang Zhipeng's projects are all national key projects, and the funds are sufficient, and the subsidies are very generous.

As long as you participate in his scientific research project, you can get a subsidy of 10 yuan a day, which is the only one in the entire school.

In Zhang Zhipeng's design, the engine of Wujian 7 is also a turbofan engine.

In fact, in its previous life, Wujian 7 even used a turbojet engine at the beginning, and later also used imported engines.

This time, Zhang Zhipeng felt that he should give it one step!

Turbojet engines can indeed make airplanes fly faster, but they consume too much fuel.

The economy of the turbofan engine is much better!

However, considering that the reconnaissance aircraft needs to stay in the air for a long time and does not need to be too fast, Zhang Zhipeng increased the bypass ratio when designing.

A turbofan engine with a large bypass ratio is more fuel-efficient and quieter, which is conducive to long-term flight of the aircraft.

Zhang Zhipeng already had experience in aircraft engine design before.

Therefore, it was much faster for him to design this turbofan engine specifically for Wuzhen 7.

In less than a week, he led the team to design the engine.

Not only is the design good, but the manufacturing process drawings are also drawn out.

When designing this engine, Zhang Zhipeng even put a little thought into it.

When he was designing, he wondered whether he could reduce the speed of the aircraft and reduce fuel consumption by reducing the air intake in the inner duct.

When it is necessary to increase the speed, the air intake in the outer duct is reduced, allowing more airflow to pass through the inner duct to pressurize and burn the jet, thereby increasing the speed of the aircraft.

This design change of the engine can be controlled stably through the onboard central control computer.

If this idea can be realized, then this engine will be powerful. It can reach a speed of three to four hundred kilometers per hour at its slowest, and it can reach speeds of over Mach 2 per hour when accelerating.

This design is a pure wartime design.

Because if the unmanned reconnaissance drone cannot fly faster, it is likely to become a target in wartime.

Subsequently, Zhang Zhipeng began to lead the team to manufacture engine samples in the experimental factory.

It took them more than 40 days to finally build the designed engine.

After it was built, system testing and testing began.

The test drive took about twenty days.

Finally, the data from each test came out.

This turbofan engine basically achieved the goal envisioned by Zhang Zhipeng.

At this time, Zhao Bingkun ran over happily again. He visited the new turbofan engine developed by Zhang Zhipeng's team.

Zhang Zhipeng introduced him to the various data of this engine in detail.

After hearing the introduction, Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "This is too extravagant. We actually designed a turbofan engine specifically for drones."

"However, I think this engine is quite powerful."

"Especially the design you made to control the internal and external ducted air intake is really good."

"But it also depends on the actual situation."

"Although it is a drone, the engine must be stable."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Director Zhao, don't worry about this. We have conducted various rigorous experimental tests and this engine is absolutely very stable."

"In fact, I think we can actually try to build a test drone now to test the performance of the engine."

Zhao Bingkun said with a smile: "You can try to modify an old aircraft first, transform it into a drone, install this engine, and see how it goes."

Zhang Zhipeng shook his head and said: "It's not good, because the old aircraft is completely different from the drone I designed, and there is no way to use the performance of this engine."

"What I want to do is: build a model aircraft, install this engine, and try to control it."

Zhao Bingkun smiled and said: "Then I have good news to tell you: carbon fiber has begun mass production."

"Moreover, the quality of mass-produced products is quite good."

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "I also heard from Wang Yiding, the director of Chang'an Chemical Fiber Factory, that they have also achieved mass production."

"And, now, they are processing the materials and some important components for us to build the drone according to my requirements."

Zhao Bingkun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Are you ready to start building an airplane?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "It can only be said to be an experiment."

"Because there are still some important equipment that haven't been built yet."

Zhao Bingkun waved his hand and said, "It's okay to build it first and have a look."

"Scientific success is achieved through continuous trial and error."

"I feel like your fund usage is pretty good, haha!"

"At present, only more than 7 million have been used."

Zhang Zhipeng shrugged and said, "Director Zhao, the reason why we don't have much research funding now is because many things haven't been done yet."

"When prototypes are produced in the future, 20 million will definitely not be enough!"

Zhao Bingkun said: “We’ll talk about it later!”

"The leaders above have told me to support Comrade Zhipeng's scientific research work at all costs!"

"Because what he does is really helping the country become stronger!"

"So, don't worry! Funding is definitely not a problem!"

"Without your research results, I'm afraid we would just be in the area of ​​carbon fiber, and we would soon have to import one to two billion dollars worth of products from footbaths."

When Zhang Zhipeng heard this, he immediately became interested: "Oh? Which unit does this big order belong to?"

Zhao Bingkun said: "Shenyang Aircraft Co., Ltd. is planning to develop a new third-generation aircraft that also uses the WS10 engine, but a large number of parts and components on the aircraft will be made of carbon fiber in order to reduce the weight of the aircraft."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "What they want to do is J-11?"

Zhao Bingkun smiled and said: "You are quite well-informed, haha!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "No, I guessed it!"

Zhao Bingkun said: "You're right."

Zhang Zhipeng asked: "What is the current production cost of carbon fiber in Jilin Province Chemical Fiber?"

Zhao Bingkun said: "It is said that their mass production cost has been reduced to less than 100 yuan per kilogram. Moreover, they produce high-quality T800 carbon fiber, which is widely used on aircraft!"

Zhang Zhipeng was very satisfied after hearing this.

Carbon fiber is divided into two types. One pursues strength, represented by T.

The other pursues toughness, represented by M.

The highest grade of T-grade carbon fiber is T1000.

At present, all high-end carbon fiber products are concentrated in the two countries of Footbath and Robin.

The main production company in China is called Toray.

High-grade carbon fiber is currently used in nearly 50% of Robin's aircraft.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "For carbon fiber to reach the level of T800, it is already quite good."

"If we can produce in large quantities in the future, the weight of our aircraft can be greatly reduced, and in this case, the amount of bombs can be increased."

Zhao Bingkun laughed and said: "Haha! Who says it's not?!"

"Comrade Zhipeng, the carbon fiber production process you have developed is really of great use."

……

Toshihide Yoshida is a salesperson at Toray Co., Ltd.'s sales branch in China.

He's been feeling a little upset lately.

why?

Because a big order that was already in hand suddenly flew away.

What happened is this:

Toshihide Yoshida received a purchasing request from a Chinese company three months ago. They hoped to purchase a batch of carbon fiber materials.

However, they require levels above T300.

Moreover, the required quantity was a bit large, and they actually had to purchase 10 tons at a time.

Yoshida Toshihide was overjoyed when he received this order.

At present, the price of carbon fiber in China is still relatively high.

Especially high-grade carbon fiber can easily cost more than 300 dollars per kilogram!

However, this is only so high in China.

In fact, there are as many as ten or twenty companies producing carbon fiber today.

Concentrated in the three countries of Footbath, Robin and Hans.

With the rapid increase in carbon fiber production capacity, market competition has naturally become more and more intense.

Even the price of high-end carbon fiber has actually been suppressed to less than 200 dollars per kilogram in the international market.

However, China is an exception.

Because Robin prohibits large-scale sales of high-standard carbon fiber to China.

Therefore, if a company from China wants to buy it, it needs to apply and explain the use!

Anyway, basically you can’t even think about free purchasing.

Of course, if you purchase low-grade carbon fiber, there is no limit.

When Junxiu Yoshida saw that the other party purchased a large quantity, he knew exactly where the other party would use it.

Yoshida Toshihide applied to the headquarters.

What the headquarters means is: the quantity must be dispersed and purchased in multiple batches, and then the price will be significantly increased.

In short, there is one sentence: you cannot purchase so much at one time, you have to let more companies spread out the purchases.

Then, the price is very high. It turns out to be more than 300 dollars per kilogram?

Now it has risen to almost 500 dollars per kilogram.

Even though the requirements were so harsh, Hua Guo's business partners still accepted these requirements.

However, Toray headquarters changed its mind again.

Its executives were worried about attracting Robin's attention.

If Robin gets angry and says you violated its rules, then Toray will not be able to take advantage of it.

Therefore, Toray finally made another request: It is best to purchase through other overseas companies. Toray does not plan to do business directly with Chinese companies.

It is intended to avoid risks to the greatest extent and not to make Robin Papa dissatisfied.

This list has been going on for several months.

Yoshida Toshihide is now waiting for his friends from China to reply to him.

If you are willing to cooperate, then look for white gloves from other countries.

However, Toshihide Yoshida waited and waited, and what he was waiting for was a reply from his friends in China, saying: Now China can mass-produce T800 carbon fiber! Therefore, the previous purchase intention has been completely terminated!

Yoshida Junxiu's nose was almost crooked with anger.

What the hell!

A few months! He just kept chasing this list.

As a result, in the end, the order flew out?

He simply couldn't accept it!

Yoshida Toshihide was even more unconvinced: How could China be able to produce T800 carbon fiber itself?

That is the highest level of high technology!

Only footbath companies in the world have mastered this technology!

Oh no, Robin Papa and Hans can also produce them, but they are not as good as the ones produced by Footbath.

Therefore, Yoshida Toshihide now suspects that another company has snatched his order.
