Born Tech Mad

Tan Lin took care of Pakistan's $1 billion arms order business. Ross had a good night's rest, and after getting up the next day, he began to work on developing the engine.

The engine is the heart of the industry. Compared with developed countries, China's engine technology is backward.

American engines can be used for 10,000 hours, Russian engines can be used for 4,000 to 6,000 hours, and Chinese engines can only be used for 2,000 hours.

The backward performance and short lifespan of Huaxia's domestic engines created an embarrassing situation. Even China's military doesn't like domestically produced engines. China's advanced fighter jets have always used engines imported from Russia.

Without advanced engine technology, Huaxia has been lacking confidence in facing the West.

Once Russia stops exporting those engines to China, it will be difficult for domestic engines to meet the needs of fighter jets.

China's engine technology was developed decades later than the West. Therefore, there is a huge gap with foreign countries on the basis.

In fact, some of the design concepts of the Huaxia engine are very advanced, but they just can't be manufactured.

In desperation, in order to meet temporary needs, in addition to importing, Huaxia can only clone foreign mature engines to meet the needs of industry and national defense.

This kind of copycat behavior to solve the urgent need has caused Huaxia's engines to use backward versions from abroad ten years ago.

The gap between Huaxia Engine and foreign countries, in addition to the problems in design, is also the gap in precision machining technology.

The technical content of the engine is very high, and the requirements for precision are very strict. A small difference in precision will cause a significant reduction in engine function.

Huaxia does not have the advanced high-end precision machining machine tools as in Europe and the United States, and foreign countries have not exported them to China, and China has not been able to manufacture them. Therefore, there is a gap in the engine manufacturing process.

But now the problem of this high-end precision machine tool is not a problem for Ross.

Before the new year, Ross cooperated with 30 of the most advanced precision machining machine tool manufacturers in China. The advanced machine tool drawings and CNC software provided by Ross are future technologies, and they only need to be manufactured according to the drawings.

Coupled with the assistance of the National Nuclear Laboratory and the Laser Laboratory, there is also the super performance of special steel. Those companies should be able to produce the most advanced domestic high-precision machine tools.

Ross immediately dialed the phone and asked the 30 machine tool manufacturers about high-precision machine tools.

Ross was overjoyed by this inquiry, among which 5 companies have mastered a small part of the technologies provided by Ross. Cooperate with the help of the state. Several state-of-the-art high-precision CNC machine tools have been produced.

Ross was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the five companies to send the experimental machines they produced to Yuta Company, and Ross would determine whether these machine tools could be processed with high precision. If the machines were qualified, Ross could already be making engine blades.

In addition to the precision machining technology of the engine, the material metal technology is also the key to restricting the engine. A small difference in material, the result is very obvious. Take the most common saw blade as an example. The lifespan of a saw blade in the United States is equivalent to that of 5 saw blades in China.

Material issues have restricted the development of engine technology, the most typical of which is the single crystal blade material of the engine turbine. The country has never been able to produce the single crystal blade that is comparable to the most advanced technology in the United States.

The high temperature generated when the engine is working can reach 2000 degrees at every turn, while the melting point of ordinary metals is around 1500 degrees.

If the material used to make the blades cannot withstand high temperatures, problems such as blade ablation, breakage, and chipping will easily occur. Once they go wrong, the engine will have major problems.

In addition to high temperature resistance, the strength of the blade is also very important. If the material is not strong, the rotation speed will be unstable and the wear will be excessive over time. It will cause the life of the engine blades to decrease, thereby reducing the life of the engine.

In addition to strength, wear resistance, and vibration resistance, precision drilling on the engine blades is also very important. These small solid blades must be punched with hundreds of thousands of holes. To form a cold air channel.

The material problem of the engine is no longer a problem for Ross, who has already developed a super ceramic metal.

Ross doesn't even need to make any single crystal blades, just use ceramic metal to make the engine blades. The high temperature resistance of these ceramic metal blades will reach 3500 degrees, which can meet the various needs of the engine, which is simply a piece of cake.

As for the three cores of the engine: high-pressure compressor, combustion chamber, and high-pressure turbine. It is impossible for Ross to manufacture the most critical core components of these engines by himself. Before the Lantern Festival, he had already designed these core components and provided Admiral Xu with a large number of drawings and technical parameters.

Relying on the strength of AVIC, Chuanfei, Shenfei, XAC...and other airlines, coupled with the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists in the space center, and gathering the best experts in the country, it is not a problem to manufacture these components.

Ross immediately called Admiral Xu and asked Admiral Xu about the development of the core components of the engine.

After receiving a call from Ross, Admiral Xu was very excited: "Major General Luo! I'm almost dizzy these days. The drawings and technical materials you provided are too precious. On the day I got the drawings, the entire Ministry of Industry and Aerospace The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of National Defense, everyone couldn't sleep. Everyone gathered the leaders and people of the four major airlines overnight, formed a team of experts, and conducted research on the technology overnight.

In order to develop the engine, our country has begun to concentrate the power of the whole country and concentrate all its advantages to overcome these difficulties. We have tens of thousands of people rushing to the front lines of major production. I believe it won't be long before we can figure out the key technologies of the core components you mentioned. Ross, how's the blade? Have you figured out the most important turbofan blades? "

Ross smiled: "The blades of the engine are not a problem for me. As long as you can produce those core components, the single crystal blades will be handed over to me, and I will soon send the completed blades to the Ministry of Defense."

"Ross! I heard that you have created ceramic metal. Although this thing is advanced, it can be used as the blade material of the engine. But how to solve the problems of blade size, precision drilling, and precision machining machine tools?"

"Grandpa Xu, these problems are not a problem for me. Keep busy. I'll fix the blades. I'll call you when I'm done. Let's work together and hope that the domestic super engine can come out soon."

"Okay, I'll call you as soon as the components you mentioned are successfully manufactured. Major General Luo! I have to be busy. In order to get the engine out early, I have to supervise the work at the work site. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Grandpa General."

After hanging up the phone, Rose breathed a sigh of relief.

China's four major airlines, together with tens of thousands of experts from aerospace departments and major scientific research institutions, rushed to the four major aircraft manufacturers.

They only need to manufacture according to the drawings, and the materials are made of their own special steel alloys. If the engine parts of those aircrafts cannot be produced in this way, then it can only be said that there is no way to save them.

Sitting in the office, Ross began to concentrate on designing the blades of the engine. As long as these blades are designed, the engine blades can be manufactured after the arrival of high-precision machine tools.

Huaxia is using the power of the whole country to cooperate with Ross to treat the heart disease of Huaxia's industry. Once the super engine comes out, it will become a symbol of Huaxia's rise. (~^~)
