Great Power Technology: Starting from the Nantianmen Project

Chapter 37 Two-pronged approach! Baidi and Erling proceed simultaneously!

"FB detonation engine?"

Jiang Li smiled slightly. He already had some guesses in his mind.

"This FB-type detonation engine is indeed very powerful, and its advantages are indeed impossible to ignore."

"But I want to use it to build fighter planes."

"But there are several fatal flaws that cannot be ignored."

"First." Jiang Li began to talk.

"Although the detonation engine does not have rotating parts such as a compressor, its structure is relatively simple and is very suitable for hypersonic flight."

"But the simpler the parts, the more complicated they are."

“The first is the issue of aviation materials.”

Jiang Li looked at Mr. Zhao Hongzhe and asked, "Excuse me, what is the material of the detonation engine you are developing now?"

"MF-H1 high-strength polymer alloy." Zhao Hongzhe's eyes brightened.

Then answer quickly.

"Is it this kind of polymer alloy?" Jiang Li nodded. "Indeed, this kind of polymer alloy can be used to make detonation engines, but the limit it can withstand is too small."

"What level of detonation can it accommodate?"

Zhao Hongzhe's breathing began to slow down, and then he replied: "The ultimate detonation level of the ultimate MF-H1 material we can currently research is F3."

"It's too small!" Jiang Li said without hesitation.

"It must at least reach the F11's detonation tolerance before it can be truly applied to fighter aircraft."

Seeing this, Zhao Hongzhe's heartbeat began to accelerate.

He could see that Jiang Li understood this!
"After all, the detonation engine does not use ordinary compression, but explodes directly inside the engine. We need to control the energy of the explosion so as not to damage the engine itself."

"High-strength MF-H alloys are essential."

"This material can also be used as the main material for fighter aircraft bodies."

“And getting the materials is just one of them.”

"Secondly, an energy source is needed."

"But it's not a big deal."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "The SRR90 high energy body can also be used to replace the blast source."

"It's just a little troublesome. We need to study the method of conversion."

When Zhao Hongzhe heard this, he realized that this was beyond his understanding.

But he understood something through the question just now!
That is!
This guy is not only able to develop the Xuannv unmanned fighter!
And he seems to have done some research on the Baidi Project!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1000 technology reputation points! ]

After two rounds of questions.

Old Xu looked at Zhao Hongzhe and Chen Zhili who were walking towards him and immediately burst into laughter.

"How's it going? Lao Zhao! Lao Chen!"

"Is Jiang Li not stumped by your questions?"

"Hahaha!"

"Amazing!" Old Master Zhao Hongzhe carefully observed Jiang Li in front of him and said, "It's true that the younger generation pushes the older generation forward! Old Chen, we have to admit that we are getting old!"

"That's amazing! The answer just now hit the nail on the head!" Chen Zhili was also looking at Jiang Li carefully.

Jiang Li scratched his head and smiled: "I only know a little bit."

"The two elders are not from Xuannv Engineering Department, right?"

"No." Zhao Hongzhe and the other man shook their heads.

At this time, Mr. Xu slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot! Jiang Li, let me introduce him to you."

"This is Professor Zhao Hongzhe, chief engineer of the Baidi fighter project and former dean of the Fifth Air Force Research Institute." Former dean of the Fifth Air Force Research Institute?

Jiang Li smacked his lips, "Then Mr. Zhao, have you participated in the development of the J-20?"

"Hahahaha!" Old Xu laughed again at this time, "Old Zhao's greatest skill is upgrading the J-10 to the J-20!"

Jiang Li was slightly surprised. After all, he had heard about this matter on the Internet.

About ten years ago, when the national team was testing fifth-generation fighter jets, the bureau chief came out and said that there were no such things as fifth-generation fighter jets, they were all modified J-10 fighter jets.

As a result, the J-20 came into being.

It shocked the whole world!
What was most shocking was Dengta. They actually believed what the bureau chief said and then stupidly dismantled their own Raptor fighter assembly line.

"That's all misinformation from netizens," Zhao Hongzhe said helplessly. "The J-20 is the result of the hard work of the Fifth Air Force Research Institute and the Third Air Force Research Institute on the front line of scientific research."

"It's not something I can do alone."

"Okay, Old Zhao, stop being so modest." Old Xu then introduced Chen Zhili to Jiang Li.

"Chen Zhili, Professor Chen, deputy director of the Baidi Project and current director of the Fifth Air Force Research Institute."

Afterwards, Jiang Li shook hands with Chen Zhili and Zhao Hongzhe.

It seems that these two people in front of us are indeed very important!

The chief engineer and deputy chief engineer of the Baidi Project, as well as the former president and current president of the Fifth Air Force Research Institute.

Then, Jiang Li asked curiously, "Mr. Zhao, you all came here to study the Baidi Project, but what about our J-20? Aren't we going to upgrade it?"

"Upgrade, of course it has to be upgraded." Old man Chen Zhili began to explain.

"We have a total of five major air force research institutes in the country."

"The First Air Force Research Institute is mainly responsible for transport aircraft, the Second Air Force Research Institute is responsible for helicopters, the Third Air Force Research Institute is responsible for fighter jets, and the Fourth Air Force is responsible for various other aircraft types. Our Fifth Air Force Research Institute was previously on par with the Third Air Force Research Institute."

"In our country, research is mainly about competition."

"Before the J-20 was officially unveiled, there was a performance contest between our Fifth Air Force Research Institute and the Third Air Force Research Institute. In the end, the J-20 developed by our Fifth Air Force Research Institute was superior."

"So, now we are using both hands to grab the air five."

"I am in charge of the Baidi Project while I am in charge of the upgrade of the J-20."

After listening to Mr. Chen Zhili's explanation, Jiang Li understood.

Indeed, it is better to cultivate two air force research institutes to compete with each other than to cultivate just one.

After all, only with competition will both sides rack their brains to complete the upgrade and iteration of fighter jets.

"So, Old Chen." Old Xu asked with a smile:

"I remember there is still half a year left, and the competition between the Air Force Three Fighter Research Institute and the Air Force Five Fighter Research Institute will begin, right?"

"Have you finished upgrading the J-20 that's parked here?"

Chen Zhili's mouth twitched when he heard this. "Old Xu, you are still the same as before, bringing up things that are not relevant to the topic!"

"You think upgrading is so easy?"

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "We have a J-20 here?"

"Yes." Seeing this, old man Chen Zhili nodded.

Then, he turned his gaze towards Jiang Li and said in astonishment:
"Jiang Li, are you... interested in our J-20?"

"Interested! I'm very interested!" Jiang Li nodded immediately. "Before I went to college, I didn't have time to participate in our air show. I missed the J-20 exhibition last time."

"Don't miss it this time!"

J-20!

Its significance is not just that it is a fifth-generation fighter jet, but more importantly, it is a pride-bringing aircraft for our country Xia!
"Then... shall we go take a look?"

Chen Zhili asked again.

"Okay! Let's go and take a look!" Jiang Li nodded again!
No man can refuse a J-20!!
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li followed Chen Zhili and others to the Baidi Engineering Base next door.
