Chapter 275 This Is the Technology We Must Study

In fact, Ning Chen's real danger level was not as exaggerated as imagined.

After all, in the eyes of the outside world, Ning Chen is more of a mathematician and materials scientist. Although his abilities are very outstanding, he does not involve too many cutting-edge application research.

However, the internal concern is that some people already know Ning Chen's secrets, and this is also an important factor that threatens Ning Chen's safety.

Judging from Ning Chen's current achievements, it is definitely not appropriate to go abroad. Even at home, special attention must be paid to safety.

Fortunately, Ning Chen finally arrived at Bincheng Shipyard smoothly and did not encounter any trouble along the way.

This time, Ning Chen clearly felt that the level of attention he received at Bincheng Shipyard was completely different from last time.

This is not to say that Ning Chen was not taken seriously the last time he was at Bincheng Shipyard. After all, this time Ning Chen only came to Bincheng Shipyard for a visit, and it came very suddenly. Many people in the factory did not even know that Ning Chen 's arrival

But this time, before Ning Chen entered the Bincheng Shipyard, he had arranged a special car to drive directly to the meeting place.

In the conference room, many experts including Luo Yi were already seated. When they saw Ning Chen coming, they all stood up to show respect to Ning Chen.

Before this, Ning Chen had never experienced a similar scene, and his mood became serious.

"Teacher Ning, please forgive us for suddenly inviting you here this time. However, your design of these two aircraft carriers is so outstanding that we have to ask you some relevant questions immediately."

Naturally, Ning Chen would not feel offended by this matter. In fact, this was exactly what Ning Chen hoped to achieve.

"Experts, this is also my honor. We can now discuss every detail of the design of these two aircraft carriers."

Before arriving, Ning Chen had made sufficient preparations and was waiting for his design to be approved by other experts so that he could start studying the construction of the aircraft carrier.

If possible, Ning Chen still hopes that the two aircraft carriers he designed can enter the construction stage earlier, especially the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier designed later.

This is Ning Chen's most proud work over the years, and it is also the first time that Ning Chen truly shows his full strength when he achieves breakthroughs in various abilities.

Immediately, the experts first raised some of their questions about the conventionally powered aircraft carrier designed by Ning Chen.

Ning Chen directly showed his original design drawing and answered various questions raised by other experts based on this design drawing.

Seeing the original design drawings displayed by Ning Chen, the experts present were all shocked.

Especially Luo Yi, who was the first to see Ning Chen's design drawings, his admiration for Ning Chen became even stronger at this time.

"I really didn't expect that Teacher Ning's original design would be so precise..." Luo Yixin said.

Even though this is an aircraft carrier with a length of more than 300 meters, if you only look at a certain part of it, you will feel like you are looking at precision instruments.

This level of precision is already a level higher than other aircraft carriers. The aircraft carrier can be built directly according to this design drawing without any adjustment.

Next, Ning Chen answered the experts' questions very smoothly and asked various questions about this conventionally powered aircraft carrier.

It can be said that the design of Ningchen's aircraft carrier is an enhanced version of Type 002. Compared with Type 002, it has achieved new breakthroughs in some technologies.

At this time, the topic began to gradually shift to nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

"Mr. Ning, how did you come up with the idea of ​​designing a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier when designing a conventionally powered aircraft carrier? With our current capabilities, even if there is no problem with your design, our craftsmanship may not be the same. can meet the requirements.”

After hearing what this expert said, many other experts present also nodded.

At present, it is not that Xia Guo has no plans to research nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, but this project is still in a very preliminary stage, and even within ten years, it may not be possible to actually build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

This is also because Xia Guo has always been very cautious, especially for this kind of technology with a relatively high risk factor. If you don't have enough confidence, you will never apply the technology easily.

"I think nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are the inevitable trend for domestically produced aircraft carriers in the future, and they are also a type of aircraft carrier that we must focus on researching. Even if the nuclear aircraft carrier project will not be put on the agenda immediately, at least we should start research on the aircraft carrier's nuclear power plant as soon as possible. Research."

Ning Chen said these words not so that he could complete the mission as soon as possible, but because he really hoped that a domestically produced nuclear aircraft carrier would come out sooner.

Nuclear aircraft carriers have an absolute advantage in terms of endurance. They can hardly need any fuel replenishment during long sea voyages and have almost unlimited power.

"Teacher Ning, do you have any other good opinions on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier project?"

After listening to Ning Chen's answer just now, everyone has great trust in Ning Chen and looks forward to Ning Chen giving more good suggestions.

"My suggestion is to first choose an experimental base on land to study this small nuclear reactor. The location of the experimental base should be as far away from densely populated areas as possible, so as to minimize possible risks. Of course, safety protection must also be taken for the researchers participating in this project, and we must try our best to protect them from being affected by nuclear reactor experiments..."

When talking about this, Ning Chen felt a little guilty.

Due to scientific research and teaching work, Ning Chen will most likely not be able to participate in the nuclear reactor experiment in person. Even if Ning Chen wants to go, Shengzhou University will definitely not agree.

The risks of researching nuclear reactors are conceivable, ranging from the possible effects of nuclear radiation to, in severe cases, even threats to life safety.

However, someone must participate in such work. Only in this way can this technology be developed and eventually applied to nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

Ning Chen could only use his own abilities to ensure the safety of these scientific researchers as much as possible.

After listening to Ning Chen's idea of ​​a land-based small nuclear reactor, everyone felt that this was a very good idea.

"Teacher Ning, conducting small nuclear reactor experiments on land is indeed a better way. As long as we solve the problem of the aircraft carrier's nuclear power unit, the construction of a nuclear aircraft carrier can be put on the agenda."

In the days that followed, Ning Chen and other members of the project team worked together to formulate more detailed plans.

Because Ning Chen cannot stay at Bincheng Shipyard for a long time, Ning Chen will definitely not be directly responsible for the construction of these two aircraft carriers, but can only undertake part of the research work.

As a world-class expert in materials science, Ning Chen will be responsible for some research on aircraft carrier materials.

Of course, the research on aircraft carrier materials is definitely not the only work Ning Chen is responsible for, including the research on aircraft carrier nuclear devices, etc. Ning Chen must also participate.

Although Ning Chen has completed the design of these parts, some new problems are likely to arise during the actual construction project, just like those experienced by Ning Chen in his previous scientific research work.

Even if Ning Chen returns to Shengzhou, he will definitely do his best to help the project team solve these problems.

Before leaving Bincheng Shipyard, Ning Chen decided to share some of Quantum Leap’s computing power with the project team.

"When designing these two aircraft carriers, Quantum Leap played a crucial role, helping me to complete the design of hundreds of millions of parts in the fastest time. If possible, I also hope to be involved in this project , Quantum Leap can continue to provide its help."

In fact, Ning Chen is very willing to share the computing power of Quantum Leap for free, but because the operating cost of Quantum Leap is indeed too high, someone still needs to bear this part of the cost.

Bincheng Shipyard naturally has a very positive attitude towards using Quantum Leap's computing power.

As long as it can help the aircraft carrier be completed earlier, everyone will be very supportive.

What's more, this project is not just a project of Bincheng Shipyard, and research funds are not a problem.

…

After making various subsequent plans, Ning Chen returned to Shengzhou.

This time, Ning Chen spent less time in Bincheng than he expected, and it did not delay too much work at the school.

The next day after returning to Shengzhou, Ning Chen came to the laboratory.

Seeing Ning Chen come back, Xu Zhou was a little surprised and said:

"Teacher Ning, why did you come back so soon? I thought... you would not return to Shengzhou University until the aircraft carrier was built."

Xuzhou also heard a little bit about Ning Chen's visit to Bincheng Shipyard.

Because Ning Chen knew that Xu Zhou would definitely join in the research on aircraft carrier materials in the future, there was no need to keep secret about Xu Zhou.

"Mr. Xu, that's not the case. I won't just stay there for a few years. Now we need to study the issue of aircraft carrier steel materials and strive to create more powerful steel materials than before."

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Zhou was shocked again.

"No... Teacher Ning, didn't you just return to Shengzhou from Bincheng yesterday? Now you already know how to process better steel materials?"

Xu Zhou knew that since Ning Chen brought up this research topic, he definitely didn't just want to discuss it with him, but he must have already had a more mature plan.

Xu Zhou has cooperated with Ning Chen for so many years and has a very good understanding of Ning Chen's behavior. Xu Zhou's guess this time is completely correct.

"Well, I thought about it last night and listed some immature plans. I want to discuss them with you, Mr. Xu first."

In fact, when Ning Chen was studying aviation materials before, he had obtained some research information on steel materials, but this information was not fully utilized at the time.

Limited by Ning Chen's ability at the time, Ning Chen only obtained part of the research results and used them in the field of aviation materials.

But last night, when Ning Chen reviewed this information again, he discovered a lot of new things.

After all, Ning Chen's ability in materials science has grown so much compared to before, and he can definitely get some more valuable information from it. Those things that were incomprehensible before can now be understood, and can even be pieced together. Some of the information is incomplete.

Using this information, Ning Chen redesigned a new type of steel material, and this new type of steel material is more suitable for use on aircraft carriers.

"Teacher Ning, if you have any ideas, just tell me. I will try my best to provide some help in the project." Xu Zhou said.

Xu Zhou's positioning of himself is also very accurate. Being able to become Ning Chen's assistant and help Ning Chen solve these problems faster and better is Xu Zhou's goal.

Ning Chen stopped being polite to Xu Zhou and told his plan straightforwardly.

Compared with the steel used in the aviation field, the steel used in aircraft carriers has even stricter requirements for properties.

Because aircraft carriers need to withstand very large loads and the impact of various carrier-based aircraft, the steel materials of aircraft carriers must have very strong compression and tensile resistance.

Moreover, the aircraft carrier will sail in the sea for a long time, and the steel materials on the aircraft carrier must also have strong enough corrosion resistance so that the hull will not be easily corroded by seawater.

In addition, because the aircraft carrier may sail in low-temperature waters, the steel on the aircraft carrier must also have strong low-temperature toughness to avoid brittle fracture of the steel under harsh conditions.

The new type of steel designed by Ning Chen has excellent properties to withstand these conditions and is very suitable for use on aircraft carriers.

After hearing Ning Chen's design, Xu Zhou couldn't help but be impressed by Ning Chen's design again.

"If our next-generation aircraft carrier can use the steel you designed... at least in the field of aircraft carrier materials, it is possible for us to surpass the American aircraft carrier!"

As an expert in materials science, Xu Zhou knew that Ning Chen's design was completely theoretically sound, and it was also possible to achieve technological manufacturing.

In the following time, Ning Chen, Xu Zhou and others formally established a project team and began research on this new steel material.

At the same time, Ning Chen also arranged for Xingchen Technology Company's Quantum Leap Laboratory to connect Quantum Leap's cloud network to the intranet of Bincheng Shipyard and allocate part of the computing power to Bincheng Shipyard.

Regarding the use of this part of the computing power of Bincheng Shipyard, Ning Chen asked the company to give the lowest price, as long as it could ensure that it would not lose money.
