Chapter 63 Comply with the market
"There is no problem with the technical principle at all. We have shown the inspiration drawing of the ultra-low-speed hydraulic system of the parallel beam based on the spherical hinge structure to Liu Gong. The idea is amazing. Although it is only a rough design, some process improvements have also been mentioned.
key point."
"If we follow his train of thought, the hydraulic module of hot isostatic pressing equipment can be solved in up to a month - of course, I am talking about a laboratory solution, not mass production."
"Not to mention capacitors. The first batch of capacitors manufactured according to process documents have already rolled off the production line. The theoretical performance is more than three times higher than the old process."
"In summary, our bottleneck in hot isostatic pressing equipment has actually been solved."
In the conference room of Institute 606, Wang Xianguo couldn't hide his excitement. After receiving the technical documents forwarded by Lin Yongming, he immediately organized a verification operation, and the results did not disappoint him.
This also means that the trump card that I dreamed of before is now in my hands.
We can build a hot isostatic press!
We have the strength to overturn the table at critical moments!
Of course, it is not possible for us to achieve mass production in a short period of time, and it is also difficult to use laboratory-level hot isostatic pressing equipment to support Project 22 and manufacture various parts required for engines and airframes.
But the question is, do you dare to bet?
Does DSI dare to bet? Does QUINTUS dare to bet? Does the Yankee dare to bet?
If it really makes us anxious, we will immerse ourselves in self-research. When the results are released, it will not be as simple as "completely closing the market."
We will use relatively cheap costs and better services to eat up all your markets!
Therefore, from the moment these two technologies were born, the balance of negotiations has begun to tilt quietly.
Wang Xianguo was very emotional, and the many researchers listening in the audience were even more so.
"Have you solved the problem of large-capacity capacitors? That's not just a problem with hot isostatic presses. Hey, Brother Liu, I remember that you had a project related to electromagnetism before. Will sharing this result be useful in the past?"
"Is it useful? I reported it yesterday. I didn't expect the breakthrough to come so quickly. But I guess in the end this technology will not be applied to our electromagnetic bomb electromagnetic project first. It will probably be given to photovoltaics and EMUs first.
Used like that.”
"It's so awesome. I don't know which laboratory produced the result. The structure of the hydraulic system is also very new, and I think it will have a lot of potential in the future."
"That's not necessarily true. This kind of design has great limitations. I guess only HIP can use it, but it's already very powerful if it can be done."
"Yes, once HIP came out, the level of our metallurgical industry jumped forward by at least five years, not to mention the fission effect caused by large-capacity capacitors - hey, have you heard of anyone doing research in this area before?
?”
"I heard that people in Jiangxi are working on capacitors, but the results are not from them. I've already asked."
"Then I really don't know which institute it is. It's too low-key."
Amid everyone's joy and lively discussion, this briefing ended quickly, and the next phase of work has been clarified:
Taking the hot isostatic pressing equipment as a basic condition, we will fully promote the development of Project No. 22.
Re-adjust the priorities of various tasks to ensure that the first prototype is completed within 4 months.
This is not a simple task, but Wang Xianguo is extremely confident.
The heavy haze that originally weighed on his head was completely dispelled by a mysterious and powerful "college student" in an incredible way.
Just like the dark clouds were shattered by the hurricane, the sun that was originally hidden behind was revealed.
At this time, he only had one thought in his mind:
If the younger generations are like this, we need to work harder!
So, he immediately booked a small conference room, summoned relevant experts, and began to discuss two key technologies.
According to the professional opinions of the business personnel of the purchasing team, after asking for instructions, their current negotiation strategy has changed.
That is, to expose the trump card to a limited extent, and then use this trump card to leverage the already deadlocked negotiations.
Therefore, what can be said and what cannot be said has become particularly important.
Two days later, all major newspapers and media outlets in China published a piece of shocking news:
Our country has made significant progress in the fields of hot isostatic pressing and superplastic forming. This progress will greatly promote the development of our country's metallurgical industry.
What is even more surprising is that this news is not just a simple report, but also includes a large number of explanations of the principles of technological breakthroughs, and even mentions some less sensitive data.
At first glance, it looks like the Chinese government is conducting a popular science education for its citizens.
Most people didn't care after seeing this news. Banana people seized the opportunity and started to talk nonsense on the Internet, such as "winning the hemp", "a big country is a big country", "it's better to have money to develop such useless things"
Weak arguments such as "It's better to allocate funds to children in mountainous areas" are endless.
However, only a very small number of people can see the meaning behind this report.
Washington, in an office at the White House.
Several men in suits and ties sat around the desk, looking at the reports on paper and commenting on them one by one.
"HIP and superplastic forming have made significant progress. No wonder the purchase of AL-31FN was stopped before. It was indeed planned to make its own engine."
"However, I don't know if they plan to optimize the design based on the WS-10 template, or to start over from scratch?"
a man wearing glasses asked.
"There is a high probability that it is an optimized design, and it is obviously an optimization of materials. There should not be much change in the structural design."
"Otherwise, it would be too late."
The white-haired old man sitting next to him replied.
"It makes sense. What do you think? Is this technological breakthrough a big problem? Will it pose a threat to us?"
"It's within our expectations - the previous judgment was that they had a technological breakthrough in a certain field, so they chose to overturn the J-10 project and start over."
"Before, we thought it was a breakthrough in airframe design and aircraft engine structural design, but now we see that they have indeed gone one step further."
"The key technical difficulties of hot isostatic pressing equipment have been solved. The manufacturing of equipment is not difficult at all for a national system like theirs. What will appear next are new materials."
"If they progress quickly enough, it is estimated that standard third-generation aircraft will be officially put into service within 5-10 years."
"Within 10-20 years, the fourth-generation aircraft may make its first flight."
After a pause, the old man continued:
"If we look at the timeline longer, this small breakthrough actually does not have much impact on the overall situation. At most, it will make our predictions need to be adjusted forward a few months."
"However, in the short term, our strategy needs to make some adjustments."
"Inform DSI and resume negotiations with China."
"There is a high probability that they will not import hot isostatic pressing equipment on a large scale in the future. At least we must make money from this first!"
After hearing what the old man said, the man with glasses asked with some hesitation:
"But DSI has reached an agreement with QUINTUS. Although it is verbal, if the agreement is broken, it will be harmful to our reputation."
"It's to DSI's reputation."
The old man interrupted him and continued:
"What's so important about a businessman's reputation?"
"They're just following the market."
