Chapter 1181 Scaled Wind Tunnel
The pie drawn by Chang Haonan brought extraordinary morale to the entire project team.
After the first working meeting, all units started their own research and development work according to the previously finalized division of labor.
In particular, several institutes directly involved in the research and development of the double-cone verification missile have started overclocking mode under the leadership of the Ninth Institute of Aerospace Science and Industry and the Aerospace Power Group, and plan to complete the first seeker within half a year. Working tests and launching the first complete missile before the end of 2006 -
After all, a large number of mature technologies are applied, and the ultimate goal is not to equip the troops. Many designs based on tactical considerations can be put aside.
So the whole schedule seems quite tight.
Of course, from the beginning, this verification bomb was intended to fill the approximately two-year window required for the development of the JF14 wind tunnel. If too much time is delayed on this, it will become a waste of time.
From another perspective, this also puts a certain amount of pressure on the mechanics department responsible for wind tunnel research and development.
Therefore, after returning to the unit, Jiang Zonglin, who was responsible for the design of the shock wave reflection structure and the design of the wind tunnel control system, quickly gathered the R&D team and prepared to start targeted technical research.
At the beginning, deputy Gao Yunliang asked in a worried tone:
"Mr. Jiang, I see that Researcher Chen and the others have been working in full swing about three or four days ago. There has been no movement here, and the comrades are feeling a little unsure..."
The technical staff below have basically heard about the differences between Jiang Zonglin and Chen Hong on the direction of the next stage of work.
Therefore, although there have been rumors that both sides are conducting research simultaneously, but seeing that competitors have already taken action, it is inevitable to worry that one of them will lose out and become a spare tire.
"Don't worry."
Jiang Zonglin turned on the computer and gave his subordinates a reassurance:
"The overall resources obtained by the institute this time are relatively abundant, so we plan to simultaneously achieve long experimental time, high reproducibility, and shock wave reflection type forward detonation drive in the next wind tunnel, that is, directly produce a complete Proven product of engineering value!”
With these words, the emotions of everyone around him instantly rose.
There was even a cheer.
After the atmosphere became calm again, he continued to explain:
"You know, in this way, it is said that both sides are working simultaneously, but the burden on our shoulders is much heavier than that of Researcher Chen... So I have been testing a new design idea in the past few days, and now I will introduce it to you one time……"
The reason why I say this is not because Jiang Zonglin has any prejudice against Chen Hong's work.
In fact, the latter task does not involve too many changes at the hardware level, and is indeed relatively easy——
On the one hand, the workload is definitely less.
On the other hand, and more importantly, Chen Hong and the others can rely on the existing JF10 wind tunnel for technical testing, and both the cycle and cost are relatively controllable.
Even if some problems are discovered during the process, there are still opportunities to remedy them.
On the other hand, Jiang Zonglin's own side, whether it is the shock wave reflection cavity or the auxiliary detonation section, must be built and tested.
If something goes wrong, the entire project will be blamed...
While talking, Jiang Zonglin had already projected the PPT onto the screen.
Internal meetings of the research team don’t need those fancy things.
Therefore, this PPT has no additional decorations and no additional opening remarks.
The calculation content is full from the very beginning.
Gao Yunliang next to him opened his notebook as usual, then raised his head and glanced at the content on the screen.
Then……
"Mr. Jiang, this..."
The smile that was on his face just now slowly solidified.
"This is the optimized design method of the forward detonation driver." Jiang Zonglin pointed behind him:
"I know the latter part may be more complicated, but for a long time to come, our work will revolve around the content in the PPT... So, if there are any key contents that I marked in red that you have not written down, , please be sure to tell me right then..."
Although he had been vaccinated in advance, even Jiang Zonglin himself couldn't stand the intensity when he heard Chang Haonan's introduction.
Not to mention his men.
Less than ten minutes into the lecture, someone down below said that you have to speak more slowly, otherwise you won’t be able to follow the train of thought.
Fortunately, most people only need to apply it step by step. Even if they don't know why, it's not a big problem...
"To be honest, Teacher Gao, I have been a graduate student at the institute for four years. I never knew that Researcher Jiang's mathematical skills are so good..."
Taking advantage of the break, when several people, including Jiang Zonglin, went out to smoke, a doctoral student named Zhou Kai whispered to his mentor Gao Yunliang next to him.
After hearing this, the latter also showed a trace of confusion on his face:
"Don't tell me it's you... I joined the Institute of Mechanics in early 1993. It's been more than twelve years. I didn't know that Researcher Jiang had such a high level..."
However, he soon found a reason for himself:
"How else can I be the leader of our group? I'm afraid I have worked hard in this area over the years."
"Zhou Kai, you must also learn from Researcher Jiang's spirit of lifelong learning and lifelong progress. You cannot limit your research direction because of your professional background..."
"..."
Gao Yunliang was here to give value to the students and did not notice that Jiang Zonglin had finished smoking and came back from outside a few minutes ago.
And the latter naturally heard the rainbow farts of the two of them the whole time.
At the beginning, it was inevitable to feel a little complacent.
But in the end, I couldn't listen to it anymore.
"Ahem——"
Jiang Zonglin, who felt his face was a little hot, quickly pretended to be choking on his cigarette and coughed twice.
Then he returned to his seat and said in a tone that was half talking to himself and half explaining:
"Actually, the previous theoretical studies were all completed by Academician Chang. I just added the calculation methods related to wind tunnel design..."
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
Fortunately, as a young junior, Zhou Kai is suitable to liven up the atmosphere on such occasions.
"Academician Chang, the one from the year before last..."
Jiang Zonglin nodded:
"The sudden access to so many resources for this project is largely related to Academician Chang."
Although many of Chang Haonan's works have not been made public, the name itself is convincing enough just based on the honors he has received so far.
Zhou Kai clicked on the filled notebook in front of him:
"Researcher Jiang, you mean that as long as we follow this method, we can design a forward detonation driver that meets the requirements?"
According to the past experience in the development of the JF10 wind tunnel, the driver, as the core component of the equipment, generally needs to go through several rounds of design-test iterations before it can enter normal working condition.
Even after the wind tunnel is started, further debugging and improvements need to be made based on actual needs.
But nowadays, although the content on the PPT is very complicated at the calculation level, as far as the entire project is concerned, it is still unbelievable that it went smoothly.
However, Jiang Zonglin hesitated:
"Although Academician Chang's theory is definitely correct...including my subsequent additions, there should be no problem, but after all, it is an engineering matter, so we still have to be cautious."
"I plan to use this design method first to conduct a test in the JF-X scaled-down wind tunnel... If the experimental results can match the calculation results, then they can be scaled up to actual projects..."
